Singh","doi":"10.1002/ep.14558","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/ep.14558","url":null,"abstract":"In recent years, biochar has emerged as a versatile product. Producing biochar from agricultural residue is an environmentally friendly alternative to in-situ burning, reducing the requirement for chemical fertilizers. This study presents a comprehensive assessment of the environmental impact of biochar production. Four feedstocks are compared – rice straw, palm shell, corn stover, and mixed crop residue. The cradle-to-gate system boundary comprises all stages of biochar production – feedstock acquisition, transport and pre-treatment, and biochar production. Results show that the main hotspots are emissions and electricity consumption during production. The palm shell had the highest impact on human health (4.889 kg PM2.5 eq) and ecosystem quality due to high terrestrial and aquatic acidification potential (159.600 kg SO2 eq). Mixed crop residue had the greatest global warming potential (281.884 kg CO2 eq) and resource consumption. Corn stover and rice straw had moderate impacts, with corn stover contributing significantly to ecotoxicity (2.2E+04 kg TEG water) and rice straw impacting respiratory inorganics (3.545 kg PM2.5 eq), and causes severe depletion of resources, consuming 4339.672 MJ of non-renewable energy. These findings emphasize the importance of selecting low-impact feedstocks for biochar production. While corn stover has high impacts in midpoint categories like carcinogens, non-carcinogens, ionizing radiation, aquatic and terrestrial toxicity, and eutrophication, it has the lowest GWP. Rice straw has the lowest impact on human health and resources. Finally, uncertainty analysis using Monte Carlo Simulation shows that the coefficient of variation for impact categories is within ±10%, indicating that the results are reliable.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689153","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}

Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of different GABA concentrations on the growth and Cd content of lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) under Cd stress conditions. The results indicate that Cd stress (50 μ mol/L) significantly inhibited lettuce growth, decreased chlorophyll content, and increased osmoregulatory compound content. Under Cd stress conditions, the exogenous application of 1 and 2 g/L GABA significantly increasing lettuce's plant height and biomass. At the same time, application of 1 and 2 g/L GABA reduced the Cd content in the shoots and roots of lettuce, by 4.92%–12.16% compared to Cd treatment alone. In addition, GABA treatment of 1 and 2 g/L also alleviated the decrease in the antioxidant enzyme activities and reduced the osmoregulatory compound content increase caused by Cd stress, thereby alleviating Cd-induced oxidative damage. The results of the PCA and correlation analysis indicate that the effects of GABA can be explained by changes in cadmium content, photosynthetic pigment levels, and antioxidant enzyme activities. Overall, these results provide a reference for the mechanisms underlying the GABA-mediated reduction in Cd content in lettuce.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689152","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}

This study aims to investigate the epoxidation of waste palm kernel oil as a renewable feedstock. The synthesis of epoxidized waste palm kernel oil was conducted by reacting waste palm kernel oil, formic acid, and hydrogen peroxide in a one-pot system. Currently, there is no reported literature on the simultaneous application of a catalyst for the epoxidation of waste palm kernel oil derived from industrial waste. The optimum process parameters were determined, including hydrogen peroxide to waste palm kernel oil molar ratio (1.5:1), formic acid to waste palm kernel oil molar ratio (0.5:1), and stirring speed (300 rpm). The optimum relative conversion to oxirane of epoxidized waste palm kernel oil was 88%.

This study uses the latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) model for text mining to comprehensively identify risk factors for overseas energy project investment. Then, we utilize fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to explore the configuration path of risk based on 25 overseas energy project investment cases. The results show that there are six categories of investment risks in overseas energy projects, namely: political risk, economic risk, resource risk, environmental risk, social risk, and national relations risk. The occurrence of a single risk is insufficient to cause an investment in an overseas energy project to fail. Rather, it is only when multiple risks occur together and act in concert that the project is disadvantaged. The configuration paths of risk can be categorized into four types, which are geopolitical dominance type, socio-economic dominance type, resource-environment dominance type, and comprehensive type. From a holistic perspective, this study examines the cumulative impact of multiple risk factors on the investment effect of energy projects, illustrating the inherent complexity of investment risks associated with overseas energy projects. This study provides direction for investors and policymakers to develop effective risk management programs and sound investment strategies.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688698","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}

Effect of microwave pretreatments were studied under three microwave power levels of 160, 320, and 480 W for an exposure time of 60 s. Drying time during convective drying without microwave pretreatment was 5.5 h, which was decreased by 18.2%, 27.3%, and 36.4% at microwave powers of 160, 320, and 480 W respectively. Moisture content of mace decreased from 45.66 ± 1.14% to 6%. under various drying conditions. The two-term exponential model fitted the drying data under optimized conditions. The drying efficiency and exergy efficiency of the microwave assisted drying of mace was observed to be 29.53% and 26.74%, respectively. The values of economic attributes indicated the benefit cost ratio of 1.9 and payback period of 2.1 years. The sustainability index and environment destruction coefficient of the system was determined to be 1.10 and 2.41, respectively. Waste energy ratio, environmental impact factor and improvement potential of the developed drying process was 0.72, 1.52, and 0.46, respectively.

Mineral carbonation (MC) of fly ash (FA) using acid mine drainage (AMD) can reduce CO2 and the negative environmental impact of FA including AMD from coal mining activity. The present study examined the direct carbonation (DC) of FA using pure water and AMD in a 600 mL autoclave pressure reactor. A preliminary study was conducted to observe the leaching behavior of FA in water and AMD. DC was conducted to determine the effect of solid-to-liquid ratio (0.2 and 0.5 g mL−1), stirring speed (100 and 400 rpm) and CO2 pressure (1–4 MPa) on the carbonation performance. The maximum calcium carbonate content in the carbonated FA was 4.33 wt% with a 60% conversion of calcium to CaCO3 for DC with pure water. The electricity required by the process was 18.9 kWh t−1-CO2, corresponding to 0.019 t-CO2 emitted t−1-CO2 fixed in FA. DC using AMD was effective and the maximum CaCO3 content in FA was 6.68 wt%. This was due to the additional calcium content and enhanced calcium extraction provided by AMD. The actual CO2 uptake capacity was 29.4 g-CO2 kg−1 fly ash. Studies on AMD as a reaction solvent for MC are few but can improve the carbonation performance of FA. Hence, the method can be viable for mining industries to mitigate negative environmental impacts and generate additional revenue through carbon credits.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ep.14545","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143688711","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It calculated the Green Development Power Index (GDPI) using an objective weighting method and analyzed the spatial and temporal evolution of the GDPI in the western region from 2000 to 2020. The results of the paper showed that: (1) The level of green development power in the western region generally showed a progressive distribution pattern, with higher values in the north and west, and lower values in the south and east. The overall level of green development was positioned between the levels of stronger and strong development power. (2) From 2000 to 2020, the average values of the GDPI in the western region were 0.612, 0.613, 0.615, 0.610, and 0.594, respectively. The proportions of areas with stronger levels of green development power were 51.2%, 51.3%, 51.3%, 51.1%, and 47.0%, respectively. (3) Between 2000 and 2020, the level of the GDPI in the western region as a whole was in a basically stable state. The strong development power was mainly concentrated in desert Gobi regions such as Xinjiang, Inner Mongolia, Qinghai, and Gansu, which are characterized by lower altitude. In contrast, weaker development power was primarily found in regions like Sichuan and Shaanxi, which experienced rapid economic development, high levels of urbanization, and high population density.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143689683","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 Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge discharge curves indicate an improvement in the electrochemical behavior, resulting in a marginal increase in the specific capacitance values at higher exfoliation temperatures. The improvement is predominantly due to the change in the structural disorder in the system accompanied by the incorporation of oxygen functional groups which act as electrochemical active species. The exfoliation of wood charcoal at 160 and 200°C yield a specific capacitance of 6.23 and 12.24 F/g at a current density of 0.01 A/g. The ESR values representing the overall resistance of the system are observed to be 6.07 Ω for 200°C as opposed to 10.41 Ω of the bare material, making the material more conducting. The drastic change in the structural morphology along with the optimal amount of oxygen functional groups can be the reason for this behavior. The acquired results offer useful information for investigating the possibilities of fabricating supercapacitors with wood charcoal by tuning the defects of the system.","PeriodicalId":11701,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Progress & Sustainable Energy","volume":"44 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143690270","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}
