However, excessive consumption of conventional sugars has been increasingly linked to global health burdens such as obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders, as well as environmental concerns including greenhouse gas emissions. d-Tagatose, a naturally occurring rare sugar, has attracted considerable attention due to its low caloric value, prebiotic effects, and anti-obesity and anti-diabetic properties. Recent breakthroughs in targeted chemo-enzymatic synthesis, combined with directed evolution and systems metabolic engineering, have enabled more efficient and scalable production routes. Concurrently, the valorization of agricultural and food processing wastes as alternative raw materials aligns with circular bioeconomy principles and enhances sustainability. This review provides a comprehensive overview of recent technical advances, benefits, and ongoing challenges in d-tagatose production. We also highlight emerging strategies to facilitate commercialization and position d-tagatose as a cornerstone of the next generation of health-promoting sweeteners.","PeriodicalId":10823,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"40 1","pages":"246-268"},"PeriodicalIF":12.6,"publicationDate":"2026-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146098353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Electrocatalytic nitrate reduction reaction (eNO3RR), as a promising green process, can convert nitrate (NO3−) into high-value ammonia (NH3), achieving the goal of “turning waste into resources”. However, eNO3RR is a significantly complex process involving multiple influencing factors. Herein, we critically review the fundamental principles of NO3− reduction and selective NH3 synthesis in eNO3RR. The cathode engineering design for the NH3 generation by eNO3RR is systematically summarized, including a comparative analysis of precursor materials, such as precious metals, transition metals, and nonmetals. Moreover, the critical roles of reactor configuration, initial NO3- concentration, pH conditions, and competitive ions in determining the selectivity and yield of NH3 from NO3− reduction are thoroughly analyzed. This review also evaluates the research on efficient and compatible ammonia recovery technologies, addressing the core post-reaction processing gap in the field. Finally, techno-economic assessments and key challenges of eNO3RR are synthesized to examine the industrial potential and further implementation prospects.","PeriodicalId":10823,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"38 1","pages":"195-220"},"PeriodicalIF":12.6,"publicationDate":"2026-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145995674","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Some key conclusions include: (1) film mulching alters soil hydrothermal conditions and gas exchange, thereby restructuring microbial activities; (2) residues and MPs modify soil structure, create new niches, and rewire functional gene networks, ultimately regulating soil carbon and nitrogen cycling; (3) the release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) during mulch film degradation can enhance organic matter decomposition and nitrogen utilization.

While earthworms are recognized for their positive impacts on soil P dynamics through feeding, burrowing, and casting activities, comprehensive understanding of P cycling mechanisms within the drilosphere and their relative importance across different soil environments remains limited. This review synthesized recent advances through four interconnected domains. First, we examined drilosphere formation and characteristics, revealing how earthworm ecosystem engineering creates distinct biogeochemical zones through burrow construction, mucus secretion, and cast deposition. Second, we analyzed P transformation mechanisms within the drilosphere, documenting how burrowing and casting pathways mobilize P through competitive adsorption, enzymatic mineralization, and microbial regulation. Third, we characterized the drilosphere’s contribution to terrestrial P cycling, demonstrating distinctive outward P diffusion patterns compared to rhizosphere inward movement and examining ecosystem-scale impacts. Fourth, we discussed emerging imaging techniques that offer unprecedented opportunities to visualize drilosphere P dynamics, though systematic applications remain limited. Our analysis identified critical research frontiers in micro-interfacial characterizations, biogeographical patterns, climate change impacts, and agricultural applications, providing a framework for advancing sustainable soil management strategies that leverage earthworm-mediated P mobilization.","PeriodicalId":10823,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"172 1","pages":"87-105"},"PeriodicalIF":12.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145778001","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

This review emphasizes on the existing knowledge on their physicochemical properties, ecological distribution, human-exposure routes, transformation pathways, and elimination technologies. Some FLCMs exhibit atmospheric persistence, bioaccumulation and various toxicities, despite significant deviations between their measured and predicted characteristics. However, their persistence in soil and water remains largely unknown, hindering their comprehensive environmental risk assessment. A narrow array of FLCMs is frequently detected in diverse ecological and biotic matrices; however, monitoring is currently limited to a few countries and regions. E-waste dismantling is recognized as a significant source of FLCMs in the environment, investigate their distribution and exposure risks in developing countries associated with e-waste dismantling is highly needed. Analytical methods combined with nontargeted screening can provide a solution for identifying a wider range of these compounds. Prior evidence has indicated that dietary ingestion is predominant human-exposure pathway, with infants experiencing higher exposure levels than adults. Considering their detection frequency, persistence, bioaccumulation, toxicity, and potential for human exposure, several FLCMs have been selected as priority compounds for future monitoring and research. FLCMs can undergo photo- and biotransformation, which can generate potentially toxic transformation products. The ecological and health risks posed by FLCMs and their transformation products underscore the urgent need for bringing up more effective and environmentally friendly remediation technologies.","PeriodicalId":10823,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"1 1","pages":"67-86"},"PeriodicalIF":12.6,"publicationDate":"2026-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145753201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

This article reviews the involved mechanisms and influencing factors of currently adopted soil amendments for solving the two issues, pinpointing promising amendment materials and environmental conditions for synergistic remediation. The method of application, performances, and mechanisms of currently used soil amendments, including biochar (BC), iron/manganese materials, lime, sulfur, and silicate materials, for mitigating Cd pollution and CH4 emission in paddy soils are demonstrated. The amendments reduce the bioavailability of Cd in soil through various mechanisms including adsorption, complexation, and co-precipitation, and simultaneously, they potentially inhibit CH4 emission by increasing soil redox potential (Eh), enhancing methanotrophy, and reducing the abundance of anaerobic methanogens. Synergistic remediation performance is regulated especially by soil pH and Eh. The most effective pH range for synergistic Cd reduction and CH4 mitigation is between 6.0 and 7.0, with Eh between −150 and −100 mV. However, achieving this promising environmental condition in flooded paddy fields is challenging. Several promising amendment strategies (BC, high-valent Fe/Mn, lime, sulfate, and silicate) are proposed to achieve this goal, identifying research challenges and future directions for in situ remediation of paddy fields.","PeriodicalId":10823,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"56 1","pages":"1777-1801"},"PeriodicalIF":12.6,"publicationDate":"2025-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145484765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

However, many of these compounds are classified as persistent organic pollutants due to their biaccumulative nature, additionally having toxic and neurotoxic effects to humans and animals. Significant stocks of obsolete chloroaromatics, along with numerous heavily contaminated sites worldwide—including air, surface water, groundwater, and soil—underscore the urgent need for efficient remediation strategies. Chemical reduction has emerged as a well-stablished and effective approach for the transformation and/or valorization of chloroaromatics, particularly chlorobenzenes, into less toxic and higher-value compounds, such as cyclohexane and benzene. This approach may also yield other specific products such as methane, polyaromatics, and carbon-based nanomaterials.In this review, we provide the first comprehensive and also critical assessment of all hydrodechlorination and chemical reduction methods applied to the transformation, remediation, and valorization of chlorobenzenes. All the available literature has been analyzed in terms of practical feasibility, limitations, cost-effectiveness, and scalability. Reduction strategies are categorized by the type of reducing agent, distinguishing between stoichiometric and catalytic methods. The performance of various reductants—including metals, metal sulfides, hydrogen gas, hydrides, and water—in combination with a long series of organic and inorganic hydrogen donors (e.g. hydrocarbons, alcohols, formates, silanes, hydrazine) is thoroughly evaluated.

Electrochemical adsorption emerges as a promising technology due to its simplicity, controllability, and eco-friendliness. Manganese oxides (Mn oxides), naturally abundant and electrochemically active, exhibit substantial adsorption capacities and selectivity for various metal ions in aqueous solutions, making them excellent candidates for this technology. This comprehensive review synthesizes the latest developments in Mn oxides-based electrochemical adsorption from fundamentals to applications. This review finds that the superior performance of Mn oxides stems from a synergy of multiple mechanisms. Beyond conventional electric double-layer adsorption, pseudocapacitive ion storage and surface redox reactions play a dominant role, offering a significant advantage in terms of both capacity and selectivity. The analysis reveals that this performance is intricately dependent on a delicate interplay between the material’s intrinsic properties (such as crystal structure, morphology, and average oxidation state), solution chemistry (including pH and the presence of co-existing ions), and operational parameters. Furthermore, this review provides a detailed overview of the diverse applications of Mn oxides electrodes, spanning not only wastewater treatment for heavy metals and radioactive ions but also crucial resource recovery endeavors such as seawater desalination, water softening, and lithium extraction. By offering a critical framework for understanding these complex mechanisms and identifying key influencing factors, this work provides a roadmap for the rational design of next-generation Mn oxides adsorbents and the future development of electrochemical metal ion recovery technologies.","PeriodicalId":10823,"journal":{"name":"Critical Reviews in Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":12.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145133744","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
