Electrolytic copper foil (electoral) is a thin with thickness of less than 10 µm, which an essential component for the manufacture electric batteries. More specifically, it widely used to make cathode collectors in rechargeable lithium Over next few years, expected demand electricity very important. Therefore, there will be evident need new manufacturing plants foil. In relation this, as can happen any industrial facility, oil may pose potential environmental and health risks. These risks affect surrounding ecosystems, well population living vicinity facilities. Contamination air (particulate matter, SO2, NOx, VOCs), water (copper other heavy metals), soil (heavy metals harmful substances) issue notable concern. Mont-Roig del Camp (Catalonia, Spain), electoral currently planned. Considering social concern that this facility—the first one Spain—has raised area, state-of-the-art electrolytic are here reviewed. The scientific databases Scopus, PubMed Google Scholar, information obtained from different sources (Internet), were used. most important conclusion review no information—available journals—on characterization evaluation kind facility. Anyhow, minimize negative impacts planned elecfoil plant, strict periodical controls, comprehensive management systems, relevant regulations strongly recommended.

The Effects of Straw-Returning Processes on the Formation of Fe-Mn (Hydr)oxide Colloids and Arsenic Bioavailability

Metals, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(11), P. 1289 - 1289

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect straw return on formation Fe-Mn colloids in arsenic-contaminated soils and its subsequent influence arsenic behavior. It observed that organic matter (SD) resulting from decomposition interacted with iron/manganese (hydr)oxides (Fe/Mn (hydr)oxides) present soil, leading colloidal particles. These particles significantly influenced fixation release arsenic. experimental results indicated an increase SD content facilitated highest concentration at a C/Fe-Mn ratio 2.2, which reduced bioavailability mobility soil. also diminished depositional attachment efficiency SD/Fe-Mn, thereby enhancing migration through actual field soil-filled column experiments further demonstrated mobility. Specifically, inhibition found be 1.46 times more effective compared 0.4. Therefore, represents soil remediation strategy for mitigating by modulating ratio. This approach offers novel perspective strategies heavy metal remediation.

EFFECT OF OKORO [(Albizia zygia (J.F.) Macbr)] LEAFY BIOMASS AND NPK FERTILISER ON THE GROWTH AND YIELD OF SWEET PEPPER (Capsicum annum L.)

Journal of Applied Life Sciences and Environment, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 57(2(198)2024), P. 197 - 216

Published: April 4, 2024

Agricultural productivity and sustainable crop management are pivotal aspects of global food security economic stability. The quest for efficient environmentally friendly practices in production has led to a surge research exploring the utilisation organic materials alongside conventional fertilisers enhance growth yield. An experiment was conducted over growing period three months, starting August 2023 at field Kwame Nkrumah University Science Technology, Kumasi-Ghana, investigate effects Albizia zygia leafy biomass combination with NPK fertiliser on yield sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.). A randomised complete block design employed four treatment groups replicated times, including various combinations A. fertiliser, control sole application untreated plots (T1). treatments were as follows: T1 = No biomass, no (control); T2 0.5348 kg per 4.86 m2 (1100.5 kg/ha biomass); T3 0.2463 (506.7 NPK); T4 0.2674 + 0.1231 (550.3 253.4 NPK). assessed parameters plant height, number leaves, branches, fruit fresh weight. Significant variations (p ˂ 0.05) observed (plant branches) attributes (fruit weight) among treatments. combined (T4) exhibited increased weight compared individual 0.05). Notably, combining demonstrated substantial increase height (44.58 cm), significant improvement leaves (42.98) remarkable enhancement branches (11.33) applications group. Furthermore, significantly parameters, hectare, showcasing an 8796/ha 23.91 t/ha, respectively, control. findings from this study that incorporation either solely or positively impacted plants. These results highlight potential valuable amendment enhanced production, offering promising implications agricultural aimed improving growth.
