This study synthesizes bentonite-loaded zero-valent aluminum (B-ZVAl) materials using physicochemical methods and explores their application for adsorbing and degrading pollutants in dye wastewater. The process exploits the intrinsic electron transfer capability of zero-valent aluminum (ZVAl) alongside the generation of active free radicals and flocs during the reaction. Orthogonal experiments were conducted to assess the impact of key factors including material loading, reaction pH, dosage, reaction temperature, and settling time on the decolorization efficiency of dye wastewater. Under optimal conditions (50% loading, 90-min settling time, pH 3, 2.5 g/L dosage, and 20°C reaction temperature), the decolorization rate of acid red dye wastewater reached 98.07%. Additionally, chemical oxygen demand (COD) was reduced by 72.36%, total organic carbon (TOC) by 65.34%, with an effluent pH of 7.38 and an aluminum concentration of 0.024 mg/L. Reusability tests indicated that the material retained significant decolorization and adsorption performance after three cycles. Characterization techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy (EDS), and x-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the stability of the B-ZVAl material before and after reactions, while UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and three-dimensional excitation-emission matrix (3D EEM) analysis further demonstrated the composite material's efficiency in decolorizing dye wastewater and reducing pollutant levels. In conclusion, the novel composite material not only overcomes the issue of ZVAl oxidation but also ensures a low residual aluminum concentration in the treated water, thereby reducing the potential risk of biological toxicity.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145101756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

The decomposition analysis of carbon emission factors provides a valuable framework for carbon emission reduction. Two distinct logistic mean divided index models are constructed using logistic mean divided index decomposition to conduct a comprehensive decomposition analysis of Shandong, Guizhou, and Henan provinces in China and their industrial sectors. Compared with the conventional results of the logistic mean divided index model, the cumulative effect is incorporated to elucidate the influence of each factor on carbon emissions. The result shows that coal accounts for over 75% in the three provinces, and these industrial sectors contribute more than 65% of carbon emissions. In these three provinces, the economic output effects are a significant determinant for carbon emissions growth. The industrial structure effects and energy intensity effects represent the primary limiting factors. The primary factor inhibiting carbon emissions from the industrial sectors is energy intensity. To achieve regional green low-carbon transformation, suggestions are put forward from the aspects of economic output, energy consumption, and industrial structure.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100904","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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, the drivers of this transition are understudied in fragile and post-conflict countries like Somalia. Most existing empirical research focuses on advanced or emerging economies, leaving a gap in understanding how globalization, trade openness, foreign direct investment (FDI), urbanization, and economic growth influence renewable energy adoption in under-researched contexts. This study fills that gap by employing quarterly data from 1990 to 2023 and applying the Kernel Regularized Quantile Regression (KRQR) method to assess the heterogeneous impacts of these macroeconomic factors on renewable energy consumption in Somalia. The results reveal that globalization and urbanization exert consistently positive effects across most quantiles, reinforcing their critical roles in advancing renewable energy. Conversely, trade openness and FDI show mixed or nonlinear effects, depending on the level of renewable energy usage. Notably, economic growth demonstrates a negative relationship across all quantiles, indicating Somalia's ongoing dependence on fossil fuels. These findings emphasize the need for context-specific, distribution-sensitive policy frameworks. Policymakers should reform trade and investment strategies to facilitate clean energy technology inflows and promote urban infrastructure planning. Enhancing institutional capacity and aligning growth policies with environmental goals is essential for accelerating Somalia's energy transition.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145100842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Alternative wetting and drying irrigation (AWDI) offers improved water efficiency and reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Livestock manures like cow manure (CM) are widely used to replenish soil nutrients, yet limited research explores how CM and irrigation practices interact to influence these factors. A greenhouse experiment tested CM at 15 and 30 ton ha−1 under CFI and AWDI. CM application increased CH4 emissions by up to 62% at higher rates. However, AWDI reduced CH4 emissions by 32% compared to CFI, with a further 25%–26% reduction when combined with CM. AWDI lowered water usage by 18% without affecting grain yield or biomass, both of which improved under CM. CH4 emissions under AWDI showed a strong inverse correlation with days after planting, highlighting the role of substrate availability during key growth stages. Extended CM composting further amplified emissions by creating bioavailable compounds favoring methanogens. CFI intensifies CH4 emissions through sustained anaerobic conditions, while AWDI interrupts methanogenesis via periodic soil aeration. This study underscores the complex interplay between CM, irrigation, and CH4 emissions, positioning AWDI as a sustainable strategy to reduce GHGs without compromising productivity.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145101003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}
