Exploring China’s water usage trends and sustainability
Against the backdrop of growing global concern over water scarcity, China, has been grappling with the complexities of water dynamics and their impact on economic growth and environmental protection. A study published in the journal Advances in Water Science has shed light on the intricate interplay between China's water usage, demand, and the factors influencing it, which is crucial […]
Water self-purification achieved via electron donation: novel catalyst for wastewater treatment
Emerging contaminants (ECs) in natural water bodies, including endocrine disruptors, pharmaceuticals, and synthetic dyes, pose a grave threat to public water safety. Current wastewater treatment technologies, while somewhat effective, fall short of efficiently removing these contaminants due to their hydrophobic nature and low-level concentrations. In a study published in the journal Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, researchers from Guangzhou […]
Innovative methods for removing radioactive cesium from wastewater after nuclear disasters
In a recent comprehensive review published in Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering on 5 December 2023, researchers from Tsinghua University delve into various innovative methods in the removal of radioactive cesium from wastewater. Researchers assess several adsorption and membrane separation techniques used in cesium removal in this review. They explore a range of adsorbents, categorizing them into inorganic, […]
Utilizing acid-resistant microbes for improved wastewater treatment efficiency
Free nitrous acid (FNA) is known for its capacity to inhibit various microorganisms in wastewater systems, significantly benefiting treatment process management. Initially deemed problematic due to its potential adverse effects on treatment, FNA is now employed to enhance wastewater management by mitigating odors, emissions, and harmful bacteria. Nonetheless, the traditional production of FNA is expensive, […]
