Benefits and limitations of recycled water systems in the building sector: a review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 22(2), P. 785 - 814

Published: Jan. 8, 2024

Abstract Building construction requires important amounts of freshwater, thus depleting the already stressed natural water resources. This issue could be addressed by using recycled in and building systems. However, integrating greywater recycling systems is limited complexity, costs, vulnerability to environmental fluctuations, coordination policymakers, developers, practitioners. Here, we review buildings with focus on case studies successful implementations, policies, treatment buildings, health aspects. Compared conventional tap water, incorporation enhances consistency workability reclaimed concrete 12–14%, it increases viscosity 11% yield stress 25%. We discuss intricacies systems, emphasizing conserving mitigating impact, enhancing economic efficiency. Challenges include quality assurance, dual piping infrastructure, regulatory compliance. Government interventions, including incentives, mandates, subsidy emerge as drivers for widespread adoption. Technological advancements, such membrane filtration advanced oxidation processes, are examined strengths limitations.

Type-1 α-Fe2O3/TiO2 photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline from wastewater using CCD-based RSM optimization

Chemosphere, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 336, P. 139311 - 139311

Published: June 23, 2023

Antibiotic pollution in water is a growing threat to public health and the environment, leading spread of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria. While photocatalysis has emerged as promising technology for removing antibiotics from water, its limited efficiency visible light range remains challenge. In this study, we present novel method photocatalytic degradation tetracycline, second most commonly used antibiotic worldwide, using α-Fe2O3/TiO2 nanocomposites synthesized via rapid sonochemical wet impregnation methods. The were characterised tested techniques, including BET, TEM, FTIR, XRD, FESEM, EDS, UV-Vis. RSM-CCD was also optimize process by varying four key variables (initial concentration, photocatalyst quantity, irradiation time, pH). resulting optimized conditions achieved remarkable rate 97.5%. We investigated mechanism photodegradation reusability photocatalysts, well effect source operating conditions. Overall, results demonstrate effectiveness proposed approach degrading tetracycline suggest that it may be promising, eco-friendly treatment contaminated with antibiotics.

The growing population, intensified anthropogenic pressures and climate variability have increased the demands on available water resources, reuse has become a high priority, particularly in areas of world suffering from stress. main objectives this review paper are to consider identify potential opportunities challenges implementation schemes worldwide by considering analyzing different fields interest reuse, current future global drivers policies, existing advances treatment technologies promising elimination environmental footprint human health risk, an analysis trends potable non-potable development quality criteria issues related transition circular economy. Moreover, major knowledge gaps critical domains discussed. For study, thorough literature was conducted, using research articles, technical reports, specific national (and EU) proposals, guidance documents, legislative initiatives actions, as well any validly disseminated findings scientists around wider scientific area (alternative) supply, management, sustainable development, protection public health. Water practices expected increase future, mainly developed countries climate-vulnerable planet.

Antimicrobial and the Resistances in the Environment: Ecological and Health Risks, Influencing Factors, and Mitigation Strategies

Toxics, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11(2), P. 185 - 185

Published: Feb. 16, 2023

Antimicrobial contamination and antimicrobial resistance have become global environmental health problems. A large number of antimicrobials are used in medical animal husbandry, leading to the continuous release residual into environment. It not only causes ecological harm, but also promotes occurrence spread resistance. The role factors is often overlooked. There a antimicrobial-resistant bacteria genes human beings, which increases likelihood that pathogenic acquire resistance, adds opportunities for contact with pathogens. In this paper, we review fate environment, including occurrence, spread, impact on health. More importantly, emphasizes can exacerbate future, timely removal environment will be more effective alleviating
