While selenium (Se), a plant-beneficial nutrient, has demonstrated effectiveness in alleviating Cd stress in rice through mechanism that involve regulation of trace element transporters to inhibit Cd uptake and transport, however, it is unclear whether this intervention might inadvertently cause a rice grain-quality problem of essential micronutrient deficiency. In this study, we explored the changes of 17 mineral elements in rice under Se-Cd interaction based on ionomics and Cd transporter expression levels by combining laboratory and field samples. Se supplementation effectively reduced Cd levels in brown rice (48.40 %), but significantly suppressed the expression of OsNramp5 (41.26 %), OsNramp1 (15.28 %), OsHMA2 (20.67 %), OsIRT1 (17.88 %), and OsIRT2 (22.92 %) and reduced 8 trace elements concentrations in brown rice (23.45 % for Fe, 18.86 % for Mn, 19.21 % for Zn, 12.80 % for Cu, 35.24 % for Mo, 30.17 % for Ni, 31.08 % for Co and 32.18 % for Ti). The negative \"L\" shaped correlation between trace elements and the Se/Cd molar ratio in brown rice in the field confirmed that trace element concentrations in brown rice rapidly decreased when the Se/Cd molar ratio exceeded a certain threshold (Se: Cd > 3). Pathway analysis and ion network mapping elucidated the mechanism of Se-Cd interaction on the regulation of the rice ionome. Se supplementation led to the replacement of Cd concentration regulation, which was originally driven by trace elements, by macro-elements. These results suggest that Se acts as a double-edged sword, reducing Cd concentration in brown rice at the expense of inhibiting trace element uptake. Our study advocates for enhanced threshold-guided rational Se application to harmonize food safety and nutritional security in global rice production.</p>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"391 ","pages":"126527"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144615692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, a novel composite catalyst (EMR-BC) was successfully prepared using Camellia oleifera shell (COS) biochar (BC) coupled with electrolytic manganese residue (EMR), and the as-obtained catalyst was used to activate peroxymonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of ethylparaben (EtP). EMR-BC showed superior catalytic performance comparing to EMR and BC, with an EtP remove rate of 97.5 % within 120 min. The •OH, SO₄•^-, ¹O₂ and O₂•^- were the dominant reactive oxygen species (ROS) during EtP degradation. Reactions between the Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ and Mn⁴⁺/Mn³⁺/Mn²⁺ redox pairs in EMR and the existence of functional groups in BC improved the efficiency of electron transfer, and thus promoted the production of ROS in EMR-BC/PMS system. Electrochemical tests indicated that the direct-electron pathway was also involved in EtP degradation. After three recycling tests, an 87.9 % EtP removal efficiency was still achieved. Moreover, EMR-BC catalyst showed a good adaptability to actual water environment and a broad application to the removal of other pollutants.

Economic growth has a favorable effect on environmental sustainability (lowering CO2 emissions). In addition, the interaction of oil and natural resource rents with investment improves environmental sustainability by reducing CO₂ emissions. On the other hand, there was a negative impact on environmental sustainability when technological advancements and oil rents interacted. To achieve environmental sustainability in the MENA area, a comprehensive policy approach is needed, including encouraging clean investment, reinvesting oil returns in green innovation, and reorganizing the economy to focus on environmentally friendly industries.

The liquor was acidified to isolate lignin and the residual aqueous phase from lignin precipitation was subjected to liquid-liquid extraction. For latter, two bio-based solvents (2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF) and cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME)) and ethyl acetate (EA) as a conventional organic solvent were used. The chemical composition of lignin was evaluated by standard method, whereas its structural characteristics were analyzed by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC). The phenols extraction efficiency of solvents was determined by UV-Vis spectrometry, using Folin-Ciocalteu assay, and subsequently, phenols were tentatively identified and quantified by HPLC-DAD chromatography. The antioxidant activity of lignin and phenolic extracts were characterized by DPPH scavenging tests. Recovered lignin (85 %) displayed a significant degradation of lateral chains and, therefore, a high phenolic content and low molecular weight.

However, this increased demand has also led to a substantial rise in NdFeB waste. Effective recycling of NdFeB waste is vital for ensuring a stable supply of rare earth elements (REEs) and promoting a sustainable circular economy. This paper systematically reviews the technological progress, environmental impacts, economic feasibility, and industrial status of NdFeB waste recycling. Research indicates that hydrometallurgy and hydrogen decrepitation (HD) processes are currently the most widely commercialized technologies. Hydrometallurgy achieves high leaching efficiencies, but its acid leaching unit contributes significantly to acidification potential. The HD process enables direct magnet regeneration with a low carbon footprint, yet it still faces challenges including stringent feedstock specifications and numerous variables affecting the final magnetic properties. Analysis of the current recycling landscape reveals persistent systemic challenges for industrial-scale recycling: dispersed waste sources, a lack of balance between efficiency and environmental sustainability in mainstream technologies, and missing supportive policies and infrastructure. This review emphasizes that achieving sustainable recycling of NdFeB waste urgently requires multifaceted efforts. On the technical front, it is essential to develop high-efficiency automated disassembly of equipment and selective recovery technologies for high-value REEs, while establishing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes and waste traceability systems at the policy level. For environmental and economic optimization, efforts should focus on promoting green chemical alternatives in hydrometallurgical processes, advancing resource circularity, and enhancing energy efficiency with clean energy integration.</p>","PeriodicalId":356,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Management","volume":"391 ","pages":"126513"},"PeriodicalIF":8.4,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144648110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The highest chromium removal efficiency of 96.9 % was obtained at a pH of 10.0 with an agitation speed of 500 rpm, while the maximum recovery efficiency of 83.4 % was achieved at pH 2.8 under similar conditions.

This study analysed changes in LULC in the municipality of Recife, Brazil, between 1990 and 2080. The study used predictive modelling to support territorial management strategies. The methodology entailed the integration of data on LULC from the MapBiomas project, followed by the implementation of a model based on cellular automata and artificial neural networks. The model was executed using the MOLUSCE plugin within the QGIS software framework, and the validation showed a percentage of correction equal to 89.08 % and kappa coefficients greater than 0.80, indicating excellent predictive performance. The results clearly indicate a significant advance in urbanization, driven by factors such as demographic expansion and economic development in the region, resulting in the conversion of pasture areas and native vegetation. The area of forest cover initially declined, then stabilized after 2050, likely due to conservation policies and spatial limitations on deforestation. Mangroves and water bodies remained relatively stable despite growing urban pressure.

Ecological drought is a multifaceted process in terrestrial ecosystems, characterized by the impairment of vegetation eco-physiological functions due to water stress.

To address this gap, we developed a standardized composite ecological drought index (SCEDI) that integrates precipitation (Pre), ecological water deficit (EWD), and the vegetation health index (VHI) using a Euclidean distance-based approach. We further analyzed spatiotemporal dynamics of ecological drought and its characteristics, utilizing run theory and empirical orthogonal function (EOF) methods. Results showed that ecological drought intensified in spring (SCEDI change: -0.002) and winter (-0.013), but weakened in summer (0.006) and autumn (0.002).
