The petroleum industry is one of the most rapidly developing industries and projected to grow faster in coming years. recent environmental activities global requirements for cleaner methods are pushing refining use green techniques industrial wastewater treatment. Petroleum contains a broad diversity contaminants such as hydrocarbons, oil grease, phenol, ammonia, sulfides, other organic composites, etc. All these compounds within discharged water from exist an extremely complicated form, which unsafe environment. Conventional treatment systems treating refinery have shown major drawbacks including low efficiency, high capital operating cost, sensitivity biodegradability toxicity. advanced oxidation process (AOP) method applied objective this work review current application AOP technologies wastewater. using includes Fenton photo-Fenton, H2O2/UV, photocatalysis, ozonation, biological processes. This reports that efficiencies strongly depend on chosen type, physical chemical properties target contaminants, conditions. It reported mechanisms, well hydroxyl radical oxidation, might occur throughout donate decrease contaminants. Mainly, advances discussed.

Composting is the controlled conversion of degradable organic products and wastes into stable with aid microorganisms. a long-used technology, though it has some shortcomings that have reduced its extensive usage efficiency. The include pathogen detection, low nutrient status, long duration composting, mineralization duration, odor production. These challenges publicized use chemical fertilizers produced through Haber–Bosch process as an alternative to compost over time. Chemical make nutrients readily available plants, but their disadvantages outweigh advantages. For example, contribute greenhouse effects, environmental pollution, death soil organisms marine inhabitants, ozone layer depletion, human diseases. resulted in farmers reverting application composts means restoring fertility. fundamental agriculture helps recycling farm wastes. composting challenge; this due presence materials take longer time compost, especially during co-composting.

In the effort to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related food, health, water, and climate, an increase in pressure on land is highly likely. To avoid further degradation promote restoration, multifunctional use of needed within boundaries soil-water system. addition, awareness-raising, a change stakeholders’ attitudes, economics are essential. The attainment balance between economy, society, biosphere calls for holistic approach. this paper, we introduce four concepts that consider be conducive realizing LDN more integrated way: systems thinking, connectivity, nature-based solutions, regenerative economics. We illustrate application these through three examples agricultural settings. Systems thinking lies at base others, stressing feedback loops but also delayed responses. Their simultaneous will result robust which sustainable from environmental, societal, economic point view. Solutions need take into account level scale (global, national, regional, local), interests culture, availability financial natural capital. Furthermore, solutions embed short-term management long-term landscape planning. conclusion, paradigm shifts needed. First, it necessary move excessive exploitation combination with environmental protection, accomplish this, new business models based thinking; approach integrates social, interests. Second, shift “system follows function” towards “function system” one.

Nanotechnology has great potential to improve water purification and decontamination efficiency. Nanomaterials are efficient at removing organic inorganic pollutants heavy metals from wastewater killing microorganisms. The distinctive characteristics of metal oxides make them the most varied class materials, they have properties that cover almost all aspects solid-state physics material science. Only a few review articles in literature specifically address oxide nanoparticles their application treatment wastewater. This article aims fill this gap present thorough various types contaminating impurities. Metal for treating contaminated due unique properties, such as large surface areas low concentration. paper discussed detail five applications antibacterial applications.

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) present in foods have been a major concern for food safety due to their persistence and toxic effects. To ensure protect human health from POPs, it is critical achieve better understanding of POP pathways into develop strategies reduce exposure. POPs could the raw stages, transferred environment or artificially introduced during preparation steps. Exposure these may cause various problems such as endocrine disruption, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes, birth defects, dysfunctional immune reproductive systems. This review describes potential sources contamination, analytical approaches measure levels efforts control contamination with POPs.
