Different functional groups have been identified to facilitate the adsorption of nitrate ions onto adsorbent. The Brunauer Emmett et Teller (BET) surface examination revealed that the natural raw clay (NRC) surface is around 6.44 m<sup>2</sup>/g. With a 98 % correlation coefficient, the Langmuir isotherm is the most appropriate model to explain the adsorption process. 241.18 mg/g was the maximum adsorption capacity for nitrate ions at 291 K. The pseudo second-order model represents a good explanation of adsorption kinetics. According to thermodynamic calculations, adsorption occurs spontaneously and exothermically on natural clay. The natural clay was recycled; the removal of nitrates was 42.08 % after the third cycle.The results of Taguchi experimental design (TED), analysis of variance (ANOVA), and response surface methodology (RSM) showed that initial concentration, contact time, and pH are the most significant factors influencing the efficiency of removal with a contribution of 76.96 %, 11.29 %, and 4.3 %, respectively.

Additionally, inhibitory substances such as volatile fatty acids and ammonia buildup lead to process destabilization. The review summarizes current research on the detrimental effects and discusses augmentation methods such as mechanical, chemical, and biological pretreatment processes that enhance substrates’ biodegradability. Besides, co-digestion methods of low and high biodegradability substrates are presented as viable options to nutrient balancing, inhibitor reduction, and microbial activity promotion. Process optimization and microorganism enrichment also enhance enhanced methane production and system stability.

While mechanical recycling of ABS is widely practiced, the impact of specific processing steps on the chemical and physical properties of the recyclate remains insufficiently explored. This study investigates the effect of shredding and extrusion, as well as the integration of virgin polybutadiene rubber (PBR), on the morphology, chemical structure, and thermal stability of ABS-rich WEEE recyclates.
