Shell Waste Management and Utilization: Mitigating Organic Pollution and Enhancing Sustainability

Applied Sciences, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(1), P. 623 - 623

Published: Jan. 2, 2023

Every year, close to 8 million tons of waste crab, shrimp and lobster shells are produced globally, as well 10 oyster, clam, scallop mussel shells. The disposed frequently dumped at sea or sent landfill, where they modify soils, waters marine ecosystems. Waste a major by-product, which should become new raw material be used the best their potential. There number applications for in many fields, such agriculture, medicine, chemical production, construction, environmental protection, cosmetic industry, food feed plethora other (often niche) applications, being developed by day. This review provides broad picture crustacean mollusc shell management reutilization possibilities, reviewing established, current, potential strategies, particularly from standpoint sustainability challenges energy demand.

Constructed Wetland for Sustainable and Low-Cost Wastewater Treatment: Review Article

Land, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 11(9), P. 1388 - 1388

Published: Aug. 24, 2022

There is a growing need for more sustainable wastewater treatment technologies to provide non-conventional water sources. Constructed Wetland systems (CW) are viewed as low-cost technology with proven efficiency. CWS can treat variety of contaminants using low energy and natural by altering various design parameters. two configuration types constructed wetlands: vertical (VF) horizontal flow CW (HF). Both configurations have been widely adopted in both large pilot scale studies records reasonable The current article reviews the recent development highlights main achievements successful applications at locations. review has indicated that considerable removal efficiency attained while engineered variable rates pollutants. function parameters including type, dimensions, applied plant retention time. compared VF HF revealed BOD, COD, TSS, TN, TP NH₄ was configurations. Yet, case slightly higher an average level 77% 68% achieved systems, respectively. effective initial influent level, microbial biofilm, detention time, species among most dominating directly controlling rates.

Innovative Membrane Technologies for the Treatment of Wastewater Polluted with Heavy Metals: Perspective of the Potential of Electrodialysis, Membrane Distillation, and Forward Osmosis from a Bibliometric Analysis

Membranes, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(4), P. 385 - 385

Published: March 28, 2023

A bibliometric analysis, using the Scopus database as a source, was carried out in order to study scientific documents published up 2021 regarding use of electrodialysis, membrane distillation, and forward osmosis for removal heavy metals from wastewater. total 362 that fulfilled search criteria were found, results corresponding analysis revealed number greatly increased after year 2010, although first document 1956. The exponential evolution production related these innovative technologies confirmed an increasing interest community. most prolific country Denmark, which contributed 19.3% documents, followed by two main current superpowers: China USA (with 17.4% 7.5% contributions, respectively). Environmental Science common subject (55.0% contributions), Chemical Engineering (37.3% contributions) Chemistry (36.5% contribution). prevalence electrodialysis over other clear terms relative frequency keywords. An hot topics identified advantages drawbacks each technology, examples their successful implementation beyond lab scale are still scarce.

Zinc and nano zinc mediated alleviation of heavy metals and metalloids in plants: an overview

Functional Plant Biology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 50(11), P. 870 - 888

Published: Aug. 20, 2023

Heavy metals and metalloids (HMs) contamination in the environment has heightened recently due to increasing global concern for food safety human livability. Zinc (Zn2+ ) is an important nutrient required normal development of plants. It essential cofactor vital enzymes involved various biological mechanisms Interestingly, Zn2+ additional role detoxification HMs plants its unique biochemical-mediating several soil plant processes. During any exposure high levels HMs, application would confer greater resilience by decreasing oxidative stress, maintaining uptake nutrients, photosynthesis productivity optimising osmolytes concentration. also ameliorating toxicity regulating metal through expression certain transporter genes, targeted chelation translocation from roots shoots. This review examined roles nano Zn described their involvement alleviating Moving forward, a broad understanding uptake, transport, signalling tolerance /zinc nanoparticles will be first step towards wider incorporation into agricultural practices.
