Published: Jan. 17, 2023

Water contaminated with emerging pollutants has become a serious environmental issue globally. Biochar is porous and carbon-rich material produced from biomass pyrolysis the potential to be used as an integrated adsorptive material. Many studies have shown that biochar capable adsorb aquatic systems could solve water pollution problem. Here, we provided dual perspective on removing using analyzed pollutant removal efficiency aspects of types, types coexistence heavy metals, well associated mechanisms. The risks future research directions utilization are also presented. This review aims assist researchers interested in for remediation facilitate removal, thereby reducing their risk.

The Environmental and Health Impacts of Steroids and Hormones in Wastewater Effluent, as Well as Existing Removal Technologies: A Review

Ecologies, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 3(2), P. 206 - 224

Published: June 12, 2022

Micro-pollutants especially estrogens, progesterone, androgens, glucocorticoids, and growth hormones, are biological chemical impurities that find their way into natural aquatic environments in trace quantities (ng/L), possess a significant disturbance by impacting human life. Due to the progress analysis detection techniques, these elements have been observed quantified several studies. However, as result of limited methods management technology, adverse effects micro-pollutants surface coastal water is largely unknown. For this study, compounds hormones selected according high frequent value environmental waters. The concentration steroid ranges from 0.1–196 ng/L (estrogens), less than 0.1 439 (progesterone), 0.06–86 ± 2 (androgens), 433 (glucocorticoids), 26.6 ng/g 100 (growth hormones), percentage removal efficiency varies 10% 99%, measurement was found be very low. Here, we report future studies necessary detect entry routes water, well explore technological approaches which able resolve issue permanently.

Microbial strategies driving low concentration substrate degradation for sustainable remediation solutions

npj Clean Water, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 7(1)

Published: June 25, 2024

Abstract Microbial metabolism upholds a fundamental role in the sustainability of water ecosystems. However, how microorganisms surviving low-concentration substrate environments, including existence emerging compounds interest, remains unclear. In this review, microbial strategies for concentrating, utilizing, and metabolizing low concentration substrates were summarized. Microorganisms develop substrate-concentrating at both cell aggregate levels substrate-limited settings. Following, uptake transport are facilitated by adjusting physiological characteristics shifting affinities. Finally, metabolic pathways, such as mixed-substrate utilization, syntrophic metabolism, dynamic response to nutrient variation, population density-based mechanisms allow efficiently utilize adapt challenging oligotrophic environments. All these will underpin devising new approaches tackle environmental challenges drive ecosystems, particularly managing contaminants (i.e., micropollutants).

Abstract In the recent years a group of contaminants, known collectively as emerging contaminants (ECs), have attracted considerable attention due to their widespread in environment, and lack knowledge on impacts ecosystem human health. This review gives an overview sources, impacts, conventional treatment technologies ECs in‐depth literature state‐of‐the‐art performance removal from water sources drinking water. A careful statistical analysis number publications different was performed identify hot spots this research area. Conventional are not able remove sufficiently. The discharge raw or partially treated wastewater is main source environment. focusing using advanced process (AOPs), followed by adsorption membrane technologies. From technical point view, AOPs surpass other they can completely eradicate without generation side products.

Environmental pollution with organic substances has become one of the world's major problems. Although pollutants occur in environment at concentrations ranging from nanograms to micrograms per liter, they can have a detrimental effect on species inhabiting aquatic environments. Endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) are particularly dangerous group because estrogenic activity. Among EDCs, alkylphenols commonly used households deserve attention, where go sewage treatment plants, and then water reservoirs. New methods wastewater removal high xenoestrogens still being searched for. One promising approach is bioremediation, which uses living organisms such as fungi, bacteria, plants produce enzymes capable breaking down pollutants. These include laccase, produced by white rot fungi. The ability laccase directly oxidize phenols other aromatic focus attention researchers around world. Recent studies show enormous potential application processes detoxification biodegradation natural industrial wastes.
