Kinetics, Isotherms, and Thermodynamic Modeling of the Adsorption of Phosphates from Model Wastewater Using Recycled Brick Waste

Processes, Journal Year: 2020, Volume and Issue: 8(6), P. 665 - 665

Published: June 3, 2020

Phosphates in wastewater at elevated concentrations cause eutrophication of water bodies and their removal from treated is essential before effluents are discharged to the environment. predominately removed during treatment by chemical precipitation which usually expensive has a significant environmental footprint. The purpose this study was investigate effectiveness waste recycled bricks as adsorbent for phosphate treatment. kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics adsorption were investigated establish mechanisms adsorption. results showed that capacities increased with an increase contact time, dosage, initial concentration. kinetic indicated governed several various processes dominating different stages process better represented pseudo-second-order kinetics Langmuir isotherm adequately described phosphates onto brick particles maximum capacity 5.35 mg/g. thermodynamic studies exothermic proceeded spontaneously, demonstrating can be used sustainable alternative effective wastewater.

Globally consistent assessment of coastal eutrophication

Nature Communications, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 12(1)

Published: Oct. 22, 2021

Abstract Eutrophication is an emerging global issue associated with increasing anthropogenic nutrient loading. The impacts and extent of eutrophication are often limited to regions dedicated monitoring programmes. Here we introduce the first Google Earth Engine-based interactive assessment tool coastal potential (CEP). evaluates trends in satellite-derived chlorophyll- a (CHL) devise map CEP. Our analyses suggest that, globally, waters (depth ≤200 m) covering ∼1.15 million km 2 eutrophic potential. Also, CHL trends—eutrophication potential—are twofold higher than those showing signs recovery. effectively identified areas known severe symptoms, like dead zones, as well no information eutrophication. introduces prospect for consistent major implications Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) application Observations support SDGs.

Abstract Coastal eutrophication and hypoxia remain a persistent environmental crisis despite the great efforts to reduce nutrient loading mitigate associated damages. Symptoms of this have appeared spread rapidly, reaching developing countries in Asia with emergences Southern America Africa. The pace changes underlying drivers not so clear. To address gap, we review up-to-date status mechanisms global coastal oceans, upon which examine trajectories over 40 years or longer six model systems varying socio-economic development statuses different levels histories eutrophication. Although these share common features eutrophication, site-specific characteristics are also substantial, depending on regional setting level social-economic along policy implementation management. Nevertheless, ecosystem recovery generally needs greater reduction pressures compared that initiated degradation becomes less feasible achieve past norms time anthropogenic ecosystems. While qualitative causality between consequences is well established, quantitative attribution remains difficult especially when consider social economic because ecosystems subject multiple influences cause–effect relationship often non-linear. Such relationships further complicated by climate been accelerating few decades. knowledge gaps limit our mechanistic understanding human-coastal ocean nexus identified, essential for science-based making. Recognizing lessons from management practices, advocate better, more efficient indexing system an advanced earth modeling framework optimal modules human dimensions facilitate evaluation effective restoration actions.
