The copolymer adsorbent consists of a large number of -COOH groups and flexible PEOMA chains, providing enhanced adsorption capability compared to traditional materials. The copolymer adsorbent is synthesized via free-radical polymerization and characterized by using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The optimal adsorption conditions for CV dye are examined by adjusting various operational parameters such as the effect of pH, initial dye concentration, contact time, and temperature. The experimental results undergo additional analysis to align with multiple established kinetic and equilibrium isotherm models. The kinetics study inferred that the investigational data show a decent trend in line with the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption of CV dye molecules on the synthesized copolymer mostly follows the Langmuir model, with the supreme adsorption capability (<em>q<sub>max</sub></em>) estimated to be 24.75 mg/g. Thermodynamic analysis confirmed the spontaneous and endothermic nature of the adsorption process. The reusability studies demonstrated sustainable performance over multiple cycles, and comparison of the proposed adsorbent with other potential adsorbents confirms the AA-co-PEOMA copolymer adsorbent's applicability for large-scale applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101195,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Chemistry for Climate Action","volume":"7 ","pages":"Article 100096"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144614564","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}

With major cost decreases, renewable energy alternatives are increasingly techno-economically competitive. In undertaking energy system modelling using HOMER Pro software, this study investigates the viability of renewable energy for irrigation projects in Saskatchewan.

Further, sensitivity analysis has been undertaken for permitted capacity shortages, utility rates, grid interaction and carbon pricing. The study provides the levelized cost of electricity for each scenario. Baseline results range from $0.0154/kWh for optimised hybrid systems, $0.1429/kWh for grid systems, and as high as $1.1101/kWh 100 % renewable energy systems.

Bio accumulation of heavy metals is chronic to various body organs and tissues. Heavy metal exposure mainly occurs through food and water. Heavy metals used in food and water containers lead to their leaching into the liquids and foods. The continuous industrial release of heavy metals triggers massive synthesis of hetero cycles as metal chelators. In this study, triazole-nucleoside and triazole-nucleotide hybrids, viz., T1 and T2, were prepared from triazole with cytidine and guanine at room temperature. The probes were studied for metal binding affinity with Cu<sup>2+</sup>, Ni<sup>2+</sup>, Zn<sup>2+</sup>, Mn<sup>2+</sup>, and Pb<sup>2+</sup> ions with NMR, UV, and HPLC titrations. The lowest detection limit is 20 ng/ml. The formation of red-shifted peaks between 218.5 to 254.5 nm in the parent spectrum of T1 and between 290 and 312.5 nm of T2 after metal binding showed the selectivity in binding. In heavy metal detoxification of physical environment and bio matrix, the limit of detection (Lod) plays a crucial quantitative role. The increasing order of metal capture is T1……Ni<sup>2+</sup> > T2…….Ni<sup>2+</sup> > T1……Pb<sup>2+</sup> > T2……..Pb<sup>2+</sup> as seen in Lod values.
