The biological treatment of wastewater generates a substantial amount of waste sludge that requires dewatering before final disposal.

The thermal desorption of CHs in contaminated soil was enhanced by the in situ dechlorination effect brought by the addition of nZVI.

Analyzed the microorganisms cold-adapted mechanism, and summarized the degradation pathway of nitro-aromatic compounds. Evaluated safety of microbial agents according to the existing application restoration cases under freeze-thaw cycles condition.

Freezing-accelerated chlorination was observed for different organic pollutants and the chlorine/freezing system shows potential feasibility for water treatment in cold environments.

This article is about recoverable adsorbents for the removal of metal-based water contaminants. It presents the role of the homogeneity and heterogeneity of adsorbents, kinetics of adsorption, and the mechanism of the sorption process.

Bauxite is an important strategic resource, and it is facing with the problem of balance between high demand of bauxite ore and low resource of bauxite reserves in China.

Cyanoremediation of heavy metals by surface adsorption of live cyanobacteria represents a promising technique for wastewater treatment.

This review examines the escalating issue of plastic pollution, specifically highlighting the detrimental effects on the environment and human health caused by microplastics and nanoplastics.

The waste management industry uses an increasing number of mathematical prediction models to accurately forecast the behavior of organic pollutants during catalytic degradation.

4-Nonylphenol, an emerging endocrine disruptor, raises health concerns. Radiolabeling and in vivo tracing of 4NP reveal significant tissue accumulation, emphasizing intricate distribution and potential long-term effects for risk assessments.

We construct a membrane bed biofilm reactor combined with yttria-stabilized zirconia to remove heavy metal Pb from wastewater.

This study used portable near-infrared spectroscopy and various preprocessing techniques to explore universal methods. The spectraformer model showed superior performance among the compared machine learning models.

The removal of lattice impurities is the key to the purification of high-purity quartz (HPQ), especially for the intracell lattice impurities.

Sustainable management of spent extraction solvents (SES) is paramount in the nuclear industry.

Acid rain can lower the pH of groundwater and affect its hydrogeochemistry and microbial ecology.

1,2-Dichloroethane (1,2-DCA) is a typical organic chlorinated compound largely utilized in chemical manufacturing and industrial production and also a common pollutant in organically contaminated sites.

Microplastics (5 μm) are a developing threat that contaminate every environmental compartment.

Biochar (BC) modified by Fe@Mn was employed to activate PMS to degrade CBZ in water. The surface of Fe@Mn–BC presented a dense, stalactite-like morphology. The catalyst Fe@Mn–BC had an optimal degradation effect (99%) on CBZ at 100 min.

This study provides, for the first time, data on the distribution and toxicity of catechol (CAT) and hydroquinone (HQ) in drinking water sources from Africa.

Dechlorination of SHPS by water washing was investigated. Approximately 96–99% of Cl and Na can be removed by water washing. The Fe, Zn, Mn, Ni and other elements are enriched in the FR.

Due to the Fe-TA chelation and the reducibility of tannic acid, the concentration of Fe(II) was effectively regulated and slowly released during the removal process to activate persulfate for continuously releasing reactive species.
