Using bulk available spent coffee ground (SCG) solid wastes to enrich and amend the deteriorating soil might be revolutionary because it would assist with its correct disposal and lessen the problems related to environmental contamination and human health. The blend of traditional practices and modern technologies can manage SCG's waste economically, efficiently, and sustainably. The current review article focuses on the potential uses of wasted coffee grounds to improve soil fertility, water-holding capacity, residue management, seed germination, crop growth, and yields. The ability of SCG to amend soil depends upon the nature of SCG (fresh, compost, vermicompost, biochar, etc.), mode of application (extract, mixing, and top dressing), and application rate. The traditional practice of composting using microbes and earthworms to convert phytotoxic SCG into non-phytotoxic compost to enhance crop productivity and soil fertility is quite impressive and has been applied extensively. However, other modern technologies, like SCG-derived biochar, hydrochar, alkaline-treated SCG, SCG-derived nano fulvic-like acid fertilizers, and NPK-organic fertilizers, could be an excellent choice to replace the existing ones.

The degradation of PFAS, particularly their robust carbon–fluorine bonds, remains a significant challenge. Mechanochemical methods utilizing co-milling agents can facilitate the destruction of PFAS compounds. Here, we highlight the importance of reported co-milling agents, such as potassium hydroxide (KOH), silica (SiO<sub>2</sub>), alumina (Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>), sodium persulfate (PS), and lanthanum oxide (La<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>). Each co-milling agent demonstrates varying degrees of effectiveness in PFAS degradation. Mechanochemical degradation in the presence of KOH alone has strong degradation capabilities (99% after 3 h, 275 rpm) but also produces hazardous byproducts such as potassium fluoride (KF) that present waste management and safety concerns. In contrast, SiO<sub>2</sub> and Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> exhibit slower PFAS degradation rates (42.2 and 98% degradation efficiency, 2 h, 350 rpm) and require other additives, but yield product mixtures that have improved sustainability. Studies have shown a near-complete degradation (99.95–100%) of perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFSAs), which entail stable Si–F bonds, by using co-milling agents, such as SiO<sub>2</sub>, and full degradation of PFOS, PFOA, PFHxS, and PFBS using La<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>, through electron donation to the carbon atom, which destabilizes the C–F bond. Mechanistic stages of PFAS degradation, such as mechanical activation, bond cleavage, mineralization, and the role of protonation, electron transfer, and the formation of stable bonds in the degradation process, are emphasized. Further research to refine and optimize mechanochemical processes, with a focus on novel co-milling agents and synergistic approaches, can enhance PFAS remediation and address global environmental concerns.</p><p >This review examines mechanochemical PFAS degradation using co-milling agents, highlighting their potential as scalable, low-energy solutions for remediating persistent pollutants and reducing environmental contamination in soils and wastes.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 8","pages":"1340–1352"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/pdf/10.1021/acssusresmgt.5c00194","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144906754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, we designed a purification process to remove organic impurities, metal contaminants, and particles from TEOS synthesized from metallic silicon. Simulation models were developed to assess the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of these processes. Among the three purification steps, metal component removal led to the highest CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, and the TEOS recovery ratio was a key parameter for determining the CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Second, we evaluated the effect of ultra-pure TEOS on CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from the PECVD process. The total CO<sub>2</sub> emissions, including direct emissions, purification-derived emissions, and material-derived emissions, was 23.6 g-CO<sub>2</sub> for deposition on a 300 mm ϕ silicon wafer. Because semiconductor manufacturing requires materials with ultra-high purity, reducing CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by improving the purification efficiency remains challenging. Finally, we explored the potential to reduce CO<sub>2</sub> emissions by replacing the conventional TEOS feedstock (metallic silicon) with a renewable feedstock (rice husk). Modeling indicates that this alternative feedstock could lower CO<sub>2</sub> emissions for depositing on a 300 mm ϕ silicon wafer by 38%, thereby enhancing PECVD sustainability.</p>","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 8","pages":"1458–1465"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144906749","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
