A technical appraisal of solar photovoltaic-integrated single slope single basin solar still for simultaneous energy and water generation

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 54, P. 104032 - 104032

Published: Jan. 17, 2024

In the contemporary era, availability of energy and water stands as an essential foundation for human survival, with water's significance underscored by its role in shaping habitats. However, modern world faces pressing challenge scarcity, exacerbated factors like air pollution, leading to ecological imbalances. Water, indispensable resource various daily activities, necessitates generation freshwater. Simultaneously, imperative sustainable has taken precedence on national agenda growth. this context, integration solar photovoltaic (PV) technology stills emerges most viable solution. Within these integrated systems, electrical generated PV is strategically employed preheat inlet feeds, enhance temperature, optimize evaporation condensation processes within still, thereby augmenting overall performance. This study delves into collectors/systems stills, distinguishing between thermal utilization systems.

Environmental and Food Contamination by Phthalic Acid Esters (PAEs): Overview

Water Air & Soil Pollution, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 235(5)

Published: May 1, 2024

Abstract Phthalic acid esters (PAEs) are dialkyl or alkyl/aryl ester derivatives of phthalic acid. PAEs colorless, odorless, and flavorless oily liquids. the main plasticizers used in industry households. DEHP (di-(2-ethyl hexyl) phthalate) is plasticizer polymer industry, whereas DMP (dimethyl DEP (diethyl mainly as solvents fixatives cosmetics personal care products. synthetic organic compounds poorly soluble water but solvents. Into environment, they introduced during production, use degradation, packaging, transportation plastic In degraded three ways: by hydrolysis, photodegradation, microbial biodegradation hydrolysis environment very slow. pollutants soil, water, groundwater, river marine air, sediments, vegetables, biota. Due to great interest subject environmental pollution emergence new information this area, it extremely important systematically review current knowledge. presented paper, occurrence different matrices was reviewed. The toxicity plants, animals, humans also described.

Phthalates in the environment of China: A scoping review of distribution, anthropogenic impact, and degradation based on meta-analysis

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 289, P. 117659 - 117659

Published: Jan. 1, 2025

Phthalates (PAEs) are a group of endocrine-disrupting environmental chemicals (EEDs) that pose significant risks to human health. PAEs widespread in various media, including air, dust, water, and soil, subject both horizontal vertical migration. Human activities significantly influence the distribution PAEs, yet current research on this relationship remains limited. In study, we first describe hot issues environment through bibliometrics, then review published related studies. We outline global different media conducted comparative analysis their composition. Principal component (PCA) revealed differences mediums geographic locations. Correlation between composition China further demonstrated PAE concentrations were closely linked agricultural industrial activities. also discussed biodegradation abiotic degradation finding bacteria play crucial role soil. This study aims assess distribution, transfer, impact, providing insights for prevention remediation pollution.
