Utilizing waste materials in wastewater treatment presents a promising avenue toward this goal. This study investigates the use of waste carton paper and waste plastic bottles in composite membranes for treating wastewater containing phenol as a contaminant. It introduces a unique approach by utilizing waste carton paper as a bio-source for the synthesis of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) and incorporating them as nanofillers in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) membranes derived from recycled plastic bottles. Furthermore, this study addresses the performance and stability of GQDs-PET membranes for smaller dissolvable organics such as phenol in semi-pilot UF systems. An array of characterizations was performed to confirm the successful application of waste carton paper as a bio source for synthesizing GQDs and to study their effect on the PET membrane structure and properties. The pore size, porosity and wetting properties of the GQDs-PET membranes could be flexibly modulated by regulating the contents of the GQDs. The performance stability of fabricated membranes was evaluated using a continuous operating semi-pilot scale cross-flow ultrafiltration (UF) setup. The optimal GQDs-PET membrane showed a higher water flux (24 L/m<sup>2</sup>.hr.bar) than the pristine PET membrane (9.9 L/m<sup>2</sup>.hr.bar) and demonstrated enhanced removal performance for phenol, ∼ 94 %, under alkaline feed conditions (pH 9.5) for more than 4 h. The stable phenol removal performance of the GQDs-PET membrane for a longer time can be attributed to the electrostatic repulsions between the membrane surface and phenoxide ion at a higher pH induced by GQDs in the PET membrane structure. These results revealed that the as-prepared GQDs-PET composite membranes possessed great potential for actual wastewater advanced treatment and purification. Additionally, this work supports sustainable development and circular economy principles by repurposing waste plastic bottles and carton paper for efficient wastewater treatment applications.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11725,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Technology & Innovation","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 104163"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143716032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

This study explores the use of naturally derived immobilization materials (starch, cellulose, and bacterial cellulose) for microalgal-based phycoremediation, by utilising immobilized <em>Chlorella sp.</em> and offers an eco-friendly alternative to conventional synthetic matrices. The study aimed to evaluate the best immobilized carrier, and to assess the effectiveness of immobilized microalgae in removing nutrients such as chemical oxygen demand (COD), biological oxygen demand (BOD), and total nitrogen (TN) from aquaculture, along with biomass and lipid productivity. In this study, the phycoremediation using microalgae immobilized with different carrier including starch, cellulose and bacterial cellulose were evaluated within 12 days treatment. The results indicated that <em>Chlorella sp.</em> immobilized in starch beads demonstrated higher phycoremediation efficiency by reducing the level of COD from 96 to 10.25 (mg/L), and BOD from 24 to 3.4 (mg/L), and TN level from 43 to 4 (mg/L). Cellulose beads also showed the highest lipid content (26.76 %). While bacterial-cellulose carrier showed higher biomass production at 39.38 mg/L and lipid productivity 38.33 mg/L/day This suggests that immobilized <em>Chlorella sp.</em> in bacterial-cellulose beads can effectively treat aquaculture wastewater and biofuel production. This study makes a significant contribution to the field of environmental biotechnology by providing a detailed analysis of the utilization of immobilized microalgae for sustainable waste management in aquaculture systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11725,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Technology & Innovation","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 104158"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143680135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}
