One of the such methylene blue dye is utilized for coloring paper, temporary hair coloring, dyeing of cotton and wools, as a result its effluents is contaminated with methylene blue dye. Removal of the dyes from the effluent is of very important due to the serious environmental hazards that can result into sever health damages, particularly for human being. Therefore, there is a need to resolve the implications caused by dye pollution. Recently nanoparticles are reported for the dye removal from the industrial waste water. Therefore, effluent treatment using nanosize particles as an adsorbent provides more surface area, less time consumption, eco-friendly, easy and cost-effective process. In the present study, efforts were made to study the potential of silver nanoparticles for the removal of methylene blue dyes from aqueous solution was greatly explored. For this purpose, silver nanoparticles were synthesized using Carica papaya methanolic leaves extract and were characterized by spectral techniques. The adsorption study was conducted by batch equilibrium method. To achieve the optimum adsorption conditions, the influence of initial dye concentration and contact time on the removal efficiency of dye has been studied.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123972718","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}

This study is an attempt to assess if fairness exists when it comes to the population of Franklin County concerning the location of industries based on environmental laws. Industries in Franklin County are taken into consideration and the areas surrounding it to assess the concern of environmental justice using tools in geographic information systems (GIS). This study concentrates on Franklin County as it is one of the most populated counties in Ohio as of 2019. Eleven major cities and industrial facilities are selected in Franklin County. A 4-mile buffer zone is considered around each city using ArcGIS to find the number of industries surrounding them. Pollution is gauged with the count of industries in the considered buffer zones. This study assumes that the number of industries is directly proportional to pollution. Minority and low-income data are extracted from the US Census Bureau. The number of minorities and low-income populations in the considered buffer zone is found using ArcMap. Minority population and income brackets of the population in a buffer zone are compared to the extent of industrial facilities in the same buffer zone. Statistical analysis is performed on the samples to find the correlation between the extent of industrial facilities and minorities to assess Environmental Justice. Another buffer is created using a 14-mile radius (with the centroid of the Franklin County as center) is created using EJSCREEN version 2019 to compare environmental indicators and demographic indicators with the NAAQs standard pollutants. A comparative analysis is performed to evaluate the results. The results indicate that there is no significant correlation between the minority population and industries in the selected 4-mile buffer zones. This approach can apply to any small geographic areas such as counties, zip codes, and census tracts to assess environmental justice.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121239368","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}

The physico-chemistry of groundwater near the public discharge and its surroundings, has shown that the true value of the electrical conductivity of waters are around 2000 µS/cm. Values of electrical conductivity greater than 2000 µS/cm would represent the particular mineralization of ground waters by the public discharge of lake Mbeubeuss. The chemical facies of ground waters are dominated by the sodium and potassium chloride and calcium chloride facies. The study of the relationship between the major chemical elements and the chloride ion and the representation in the modified Chadha diagram of the chemical analyzes of ground waters from the campaigns of July 1998, July 2002 and March 2003, made it possible to highlight the different sources and processes controlling the mineralization of ground waters in the Mbeubeuss Lake area. Despite the proximity to the sea which suggests a considerable contribution of salts by aerosols and sea spray, the mineralization of ground waters in the area of lake Mbeubeuss is largely due to leachate from household waste and the influence of old sediments of the dry lake Mbeubeuss. The main processes controlling the mineralization of ground waters are marine contributions (aerosols and sea spray), dissolution-precipitation of minerals from the aquifer matrix, atmospheric CO2 diffusion, base exchanges, dilution-concentration and anthropogenic pollution.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127431701","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}

Dye and coffee industries are among the major wastewater pollutant sources negatively affect aquatic ecosystems and human health. The current study attempts to treat a binary mixture of crystal violet (CV) and coffee wastewater using agro-based adsorbents such as peanut hull and onion peel. The performance and efficacy of low-cost adsorbents were evaluated using parameters, including transmittance and non-purgeable organic carbon (NPOC). Batch adsorption studies were conducted to optimize both the adsorbent size and dosage that affect the treatment process. The experimental data obtained from the experiment were analyzed to understand whether Langmuir or Freundlich best fits the treatment process's experimental data. It was observed that Langmuir isotherm seems to fit experimental data using peanut hull and Freundlich isotherm using onion peel. The kinetics of the adsorption process appears to follow the pseudo-first-order kinetic model. The regression coefficient value of onion peel was 0.91, and uptake was 58.14 mg/g. Similarly, using the peanut hull, the regression coefficient was 0.99, and uptake was 57.47 mg/g. It seems that peanut hull appears to perform better as a low-cost adsorbent compared to onion peel. The adsorption capacity increased with the increasing dosage of low-cost adsorbent (peanut hull) until the adsorbent size of 0.6-0.425 mm and steadily decreased after that.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121811694","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}

The estimated production of EFB generated from 100 tons of fresh fruit bunches (FFB) is about 20%, which is equivalent to 20 tons. A study was conducted in 2015 at an 8-year-old oil palm estate owned by Ladang Rakyat Trengganu Sdn. Bhd. (LRTSB), located in Cheneh, Terengganu. It is estimated that the LRTSB palm oil mill’s annual production is about 240 000 – 250 000 tons of FFB that will produce about 48 000 – 50 000 tons of EFB. In this research, the application of EFB at different rates of 60 t/ha (T1), 80 t/ha (T2) and 0 t/ha (T3) were conducted from 2015-2019. The EFB was applied along the frond heap (alternate row), once a year. The data collected consisted of oil palm yield, soil chemical properties and cost benefit analysis. Results showed that after 6 years of EFB application, the oil palm yield increased when compared to the plot without EFB application. In addition, the EFB helped in increasing soil nutrient content, moisture and reduced soil compaction. In short, application of EFB increased soil fertility and improved oil palm yield.","PeriodicalId":109554,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130043933","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}
