BAT-based regulations necessitate defining key environmental issues (KEIs) to focus data collection and discussions on the main topics when establishing best available techniques (BATs) at the sector level. However, Article 14 of the Industrial Emiss...

This research study addresses the challenges of extended charging times and limited ranges in electric vehicles by conducting a techno-economic analysis of integrating renewable energy technologies—solar modules, wind turbines, and piezoelectri...

Nanofine zero−valent iron (nZVI) is a new, eco−friendly material with strong reducing and adsorbent properties that can be used to clean up heavy metal−affected soils. Herein, nZVI encapsulated with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC&minu...

Alternative options have been studied to mitigate the negative impact of fossil fuel sources, mainly especially when it comes to alternative energy sources. In this work, cannabis residues have been considered as a potential biomass residues for ener...

While the attempts to find new energy sources have intensified, the interest in the use of biomass as a carbon-rich raw material still is increasing. In this work, we studied iron-, cobalt-, and nickel-based materials in the process of CO₂-assisted g...

Enhancing the eco-efficiency of municipal solid waste (MSW) services is pivotal for the shift toward a circular economy. Although the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method is widely used, it is susceptible to overfitting, potentially distorting eco-...

This study addresses the significant environmental challenge of pharmaceutical pollutants by demonstrating the effectiveness of a hybrid electrocoagulation–adsorption (EC-A) technique for removing Montelukast Sodium (MS) from contaminated water...

This study investigates the optimization of aeration rates for the biodrying of market waste using negative-pressure ventilation. Market waste, characterized by a high moisture content (MC) and rapid decomposition, presents challenges in waste manage...

The growing adoption of lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO₄) batteries in electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy systems has intensified the need for sustainable management at the end of their life cycle. This study introduces an innovative method...

Efficient and clean treatment of wastewater and energy recovery and utilization are important links to realize low-carbon development of oilfields. Therefore, this paper innovatively proposes a multi-energy complementary co-production heating system...

Environmental protection and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are getting increasingly high priority in the area of mobility. Several regulations, goals and projects have been published in recent years that clearly encourage the reduction of carbon dio...

Glycerol, a byproduct of biodiesel, has moderate energy but high viscosity, making clean combustion challenging. Quickly evaporating fine fuel sprays mix well with air and burn cleanly and efficiently. Unlike conventional air-blast atomizers discharg...

China prioritizes ensuring drinking water safety, particularly in the water-scarce northwest region. This study, utilizing water quality data from 52 village and town water sources since August 2022, assesses water quality, with a specific focus on k...

The industrial landscape has revealed two trends: increased competitiveness and a greater demand for sustainable solutions. Materials with cork in their composition are an appealing solution, since they guarantee the desired mechanical characteristic...

To maintain the carbon dioxide concentration below the no-return threshold for climate change, we must consider the reduction in anthropic emissions coupled to carbon capture methods applied in synergy. In our recent papers, we proposed a green and r...

As natural gas-fired combined cycle (NGCC) power plants continue to constitute a crucial part of the global energy landscape, their carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions pose a significant challenge to climate goals. This paper evaluates the feasibility of...

With the aim of developing an innovative water treatment approach for developing countries in the Global South, we have applied the method of treating a cavitating water stream with a plasma discharge under real conditions. To this end, we have optim...

In this current research, various amino acids (lysine, betaine, and cysteine) and peptides (oxidised or reduced glutathione) were considered as potential environmentally friendly alternatives to wool bleaching. A greener methodology was also applied...
