Hand sheets containing modified precipitated calcium carbonate (MdPCC) exhibited significant improvements in tensile strength (up to 68.21% increase at 15% of 20% MdPCC loading), burst index (up to 10.51 kg/cm2), burst factor (up to 95.50), and double fold (263–3383 at 25% of 20% MdPCC loading) compared to control paper. This exceptional improvement in double fold is attributed to MdPCC’s ability to facilitate stress transfer between paper fibers, leading to a more even distribution of stress and enhanced fold resistance. RC containing different dosages of PCC were characterized by different analytical techniques in order to evaluate the effective retention of the PCC into RC and paper matrix subsequently. PCC alone causes a decrease in the strength of the paper; hence, the proposed filler may overcome this drawback. This study provides the alternative pathway to replace the high dosage of inorganic filler along with no compromise in the strength properties of the paper.","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 2","pages":"303–315 303–315"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143496282","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}

Its safe disposal is a massive problem that needs global strategic cognizance. The sanitary waste is mainly comprised of high molecular weight acrylate-based polymers having higher water-absorbent properties with a significant carbon atom-based cross-linked backbone. Here we have derived a workable energy storage material from menstrual sanitary waste with minimal energy input, making it environmentally viable. In this study, a rich carbon matrix was produced from pyrolysis of sanitary waste pads with KMnO4 based activation at 300 °C. The obtained carbon showed the presence of MnO moieties having desirable properties as a supercapacitor electrode. The stored energy density in the synthesized carbons was found to be 11.23 Wh kg–1 at a 0.275 kW kg–1 power density. The derived carbon shows excellent capacity retention of 84% and electrochemical stability until 10,000 cycles. These porous functional carbons produced from non-biodegradable SAPs thus make a sustainable potential resource for energy storage applications.","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 2","pages":"234–242 234–242"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143496241","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}

Herein for the first time, we demonstrate the exploration of EFG from spent graphite as a conductive additive to selectively reduce oxygen in the presence of methanol and protect Pt from CO poisoning by utilizing the edge functionalities of the exfoliated graphite. Additionally, the EFG acts as an electronic conductor between the catalyst particles. The physicochemical and electrochemical results indicate that the incorporation of EFG improves the ORR performance, in both the presence and absence of MeOH, and demonstrate enhanced MeOH tolerance. The addition of 10 wt % of recovered EFG in the electrocatalyst exhibited a lower methanol oxidation current (2.5 mA·cm–2) while the catalyst alone studies exhibited a higher current (6 mA·cm–2) in 3 M methanol in 0.1 M HClO4 electrolyte.","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 3","pages":"386–390 386–390"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143703766","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}

However, the scarcity of phosphorus and its environmental ramifications require innovative solutions for its removal and reuse. This study assesses cobalt ferrite nanoparticles’ efficacy in removing phosphorus from kraft pulp effluents. Comprehensive sampling was conducted at various paper pulp facilities utilizing Eucalyptus globulus and the kraft pulp process. Variables, such as pH, temperature, sorbent dose, and initial phosphorus concentration, were investigated. Experiments were performed on streams containing 5, 25, and 45 mg/L phosphorus. At 5 mg/L, the nanoparticles achieved up to 93% P removal at pH 6, 60 °C, and 1.0 g/L nanoparticles. Kinetic studies suggested that the adsorption process conforms to the pseudo-second-order model, indicative of chemisorption. For streams with concentrations of 25 and 45 mg/L, the nanoparticles maintained a rapid adsorption process, achieving 96% removal. The Elovich model aptly described the kinetics, reaffirming chemisorption as the predominant mechanism. Comparative analyses revealed that the nanoparticles outperformed Phoslock (a commercial lanthanum phosphorus sorbent), particularly at shorter contact times and at pH values of 3 and 6. Desorption studies yielded optimal results using a binary solution of NaOH (0.1 mol/L) and Ca(OH)2 (1 mol/L), allowing four cycles maintaining high performances. These findings underline the potential of this technology in effluent treatment, where the reusability of nanoparticles offers a cost-effective strategy for environmental remediation and sustainable water and phosphorus management.","PeriodicalId":100015,"journal":{"name":"ACS Sustainable Resource Management","volume":"2 2","pages":"267–274 267–274"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143496239","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}
