The increasingly frequent detection of resistant organic micropollutants in waters calls for better treatment of these molecules that are recognized to be dangerous for human health and the environment. As an alternative to conventional adsorbent material such as activated carbon, silica-clay nanocomposites were synthesized for the removal of pharmaceuticals in contaminated water. Their efficiency with respect to carbamazepine, ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, doxycycline, and sulfamethoxazole was assessed in model water and real groundwater spiked with the five contaminants. Results showed that the efficacy of contaminant removal depends on the chemical properties of the micropollutants. Among the adsorbents tested, the nanocomposite made of 95% clay and 5% SiO2 NPs was the most efficient and was easily recovered from solution after treatment compared with pure clay, for example. The composite is thus a good candidate in terms of operating costs and environmental sustainability for the removal of organic contaminants.Legacy (i.e., polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD)) and alternative halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) were analyzed in 31 whole fish samples from Lake Geneva in 2018. Two fish species, namely, the burbot (Lota lota) and the roach (Rutilus rutilus), were selected, hypothetically representing different habitats, feeding behaviors, and different metabolic capacities. Roach (N = 20) and burbot (N = 11) displayed similar size and mass, but the latter species was overall leaner than the former. The sum of individual PBDE concentrations (0.54-9.86 ng g-1 wet weight (ww)) was similar in both species, but the respective molecular profiles suggested contrasted metabolic capacities. HBCDD sum of isomer concentrations ranged from non-detected to 3.477 ng g-1 (ww), also similar in both species. Both PBDEs and HBCDD levels were far below the threshold that indicates a risk to fish predators. Referring to previous surveys, which involved a wider range of species, PBDE concentrations have declined or are stable. HBCDD concentrations remained low, despite the PBDE ban, which could have fostered the consumption of other HFRs. The occurrence of alternative HFRs was also low for most compounds analyzed. Only dechloranes and decabromodiphenyl ethane (DBDPE) had detection rates above 50%. Dechloranes spanned a concentration range between 5 and 10 times the quantification limits (0.002 to 0.005 ng g-1 wet weight), lower than DBDPE ( less then 0.005 to 2.89 ng g-1 wet weight). Quality standards targeting biota are currently missing for these emerging chemicals.This article presents a review of anaerobic treatment technologies to treat slaughterhouse wastewater including its advantages and disadvantages. Physico-chemical characteristics and biochemical methane potential (BMP) of slaughterhouse wastewater are addressed. Various anaerobic treatment technologies are presented with the related operating parameters, viz., hydraulic retention time (HRT), organic loading rate (OLR), upflow velocity (Vup), and biogas yield vis-a-vis treatment efficiency in terms of chemical oxygen demand (COD). In addition, various factors that affect the anaerobic treatment of slaughterhouse wastewater such as high oil & grease (O & G) concentration in influent, inhibitors, volatile fatty acids (VFAs), and the loading rate are also addressed. The literature review indicated that the slaughterhouse wastewater can be treated effectively by employing any anaerobic treatment technologies at OLRs up to 5 kg COD/m3.d with more than 80% COD removal efficiency without experiencing operational problems. Anaerobic hybrid reactors (AHRs) were found the most effective among various reviewed technologies because of their ability to operate at higher OLRs (8 to 20 kg COD/m3.d) and lower HRTs (8 to 12 hrs).High-yielding and sustainable production of rice in salt-affected mudflat is restricted by high soil salinity. Although sewage sludge can be used for mudflat amendment especially soil salt reduction, the possibility of potential heavy metal contamination in sludge-amended mudflat especially under paddy cultivation remains unclear, which hinders the further utilization of sewage sludge. In this study, a field experiment was conducted in a newly reclaimed mudflat to assess the sustained effects of one-time sludge input with different addition rates (0, 30, 60, 120, and 180 t ha-1) on soil salinity, rice yield, and potential metal contamination under paddy cultivation. The results indicated that sewage sludge addition (SSA) significantly decreased soil salinity and increased soil fertility. The increasing SSA rates and amending years led to the gradual increase of rice yield in salt-affected mudflat. The maximum increases in rice yield were 125.1%, 124.7%, and 127.9% in 2016, 2017, and 2018, and the average annual increase in rice yield in sludge-treated mudflat was 1.7%. Sludge addition increased metals accumulation in mudflat soil and metals uptake by rice tissues except Cr, Cu, and Pb in rice grain. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/tenapanor.html The maximum increments in metal concentrations in soil and rice plant all occurred at 180 t ha-1 sludge addition rate. However, the metal concentrations in rice grain were below the safety limits even in the treatment with the highest sludge addition rate. Metal concentrations in sludge-treated soil and rice plant showed downward trend during the 3-year trial, and the decreases in total amount of soil metals were mainly concentrated in the first amending year, accounting for more than 50%. In summary, one-time sludge input achieved sustained mudflat amendment and efficient rice production. In addition, controlling the total amount of sludge input realized safe utilization of sewage sludge in salt-affected mudflat under paddy cultivation.The adsorption followed by photocatalytic degradation process was examined for the pentachlorophenol (PCP) removal from aqueous solution. These processes were accomplished by using FeNi3/SiO2/ZnO magnetic nanocomposite as an adsorbent-photocatalytic agent and under the irradiation of solar light. The magnetic nanocomposite used was first synthesized and then was characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), vibrating-sample magnetometer (VSM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy. The PCP removal efficiency was tested for various factors, including pH, PCP concentration, and nanocomposite dose at different contact times. The characterization results of TEM, FE-SEM, and VSM analysis showed that the synthesized nanoparticles are amorphous and tend to agglomerate due to their high super-paramagnetic property. In addition, the EDX technique showed that the Zn and O elements had the highest weight percent in the synthesized nanocomposite, respectively.
