Sorption of Iodine on Biochar Derived from the Processing of Urban Sludge and Garden Waste at Different Pyrolysis Temperatures

Molecules, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 29(13), P. 3007 - 3007

Published: June 25, 2024

The United Nations proposed the Sustainable Development Goals with aim to make human settlements in cities resilient and sustainable. excessive discharge of urban waste including sludge garden can pollute groundwater lead emission greenhouse gases (e.g., CH4). proper recycling is essential for responsible consumption production, reducing environmental pollution addressing climate change issues. This study aimed prepare biochar high adsorption amounts iodine using peach wood from waste. was conducted examine variations mass ratio between (2/1, 1/1, 1/2) as well pyrolysis temperatures (300 °C, 500 700 °C) on carbon yield capacities biochar. Scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, powder X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis were used characterize produced at different ratios. results indicate that found be highest (>60%) a temperature 300 °C across temperatures. absorbed aqueous solution ranged 86 223 mg g−1 1:1 wood, which comparably higher than those observed other advances water treatment by offering cost-effective method derived processing

Comprehensive Assessment of Air, Soil, and Water Pollution for Environmental Health in Al-Hai City, Iraq

University of Thi-Qar Journal of Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 11(1), P. 131 - 135

Published: June 19, 2024

Sustainability has evolved into a broad phrase that includes practically every aspect of life on the Earth, from local to global, and over different periods. Sustainable biological systems include healthy, long-lived forests wetlands. This paper aimed study measure pollution indicators in Al-Hai city center's air, soil, water Wasit province, located at Coordinates (32.1742 N° 46.0433 E°). The data for city's ambient air pollutants (CO, NO, NO2, H2S, SO2, CO2) considered was recorded date (12-13/12/2021). Maximum values concentration carbon monoxide CO sulfur dioxide SO2 were 1.019 ppm 0.0321 ppm, respectively. sediment samples collected December 2021, all analyzed laboratory. Heavy elements (Cd, Pb, As, Hg) measured soil water. taken two stations Gharraf River province investigate potential environmental damage caused by these components this region. will be conducted (North South center) beginning 2021. In south station, heavy showed exponential growth samples, but concentrations north station low. highest value pb main street, which 31.9 ppm.

The Impact of RED III Directive on the Use of Renewable Fuels in Transport on the Example of Estonia

Environmental and Climate Technologies, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 28(1), P. 165 - 180

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Abstract Over the past two decades, there has been an increasing use of biofuels worldwide, especially in Europe. The main objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), from transportation. regulation fuels produced biomass and other renewable sources at EU level primarily governed by Renewable Energy Directive (RED). As today, RED III directive come into effect, significantly altering fuel market 2030. change involves increase share transport non-use first-generation fuels. Since all member states are obliged comply with directive, it essential assess current status each state meeting requirements for Therefore, aim this article analyse impact on sector. Specifically, provides overview various directives’ requirements, analyses shares fossil diesel Estonia under different compliance scenarios, presents situation regarding Estonia. based a literature review, calculations calculation methodologies. results study indicate that if requirement energy used 29 %, using only HVO (Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil) achieve goal would require replacing 30.3 % HVO. In cases where emission intensity sector least 14.5 2030, volumetric must meet certain criteria raw material. For example, residues contain minimal amount biocomponents. context, biologically derived oil initially used, such as food preparation. Subsequently, after its preparation, processed fuel. also addresses biogas introduced component diesel.
