Present studies report the adsorption of copper (Cu) from the effluent using Tulsion T-42 resin. Experiments were carried out for the adsorption of Cu from the effluent of Chemical and Mechanical Polishing (CMP) industries using cationic resin Tulsion T-42 (adsorbent). To get the optimized adsorption condition for copper the studies were carried out with varying process parameters i.e., contact time, adsorbent dose, pH, etc. Result of the batch experiments shows that 95% copper was adsorbed from the effluent containing 100 ppm copper using 0.1 g Tulsion T-42 in 50 mL feed solution at pH 4.0 in contact time of 30 min. The obtained data from Cu adsorption studies fitted well with Freundlich adsorption isotherm and followed second-order rate reaction. The 99% copper was found to be eluted from loaded adsorbent using 10% sulfuric acid in 60 min contact time. FT-IR result confirmed that complex with active sulphonic group of Tulsion T-42 was formed. The findings of the studies will be useful for the reclamation of copper from the waste water of metal finishing industries.","PeriodicalId":12714,"journal":{"name":"Geosystem Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45493973","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}

A leaching solution of waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) was prepared as an electrolyte, and the effects of flow rate and applied voltage on the recovery of gold and destruction of cyanide through hydrocyclone electrowinning were investigated. A numerical simulation of the flow field in the cell was performed, and the results were visualized by conducting a finite element analysis in FLUENT. The CFD simulations and Hull cell test showed that the cylindrical cathode region had a flow velocity of ~11.05 m·s−1, which was higher than that at the center of the cylindrical part (<6.45 m·s−1). The optimum conditions for electrowinning were found to be as: an electrode distance of 4.9 mm and a current density of 73.78 mA·cm−2. The anodic polarization results showed that an Ir-based mixed metal oxide (MMO) anode could more efficiently oxidize the free cyanide because of its high current density than other types of anodes (Ir-based MMO: 299.3 mA·cm−2 > SS304: 3.5 mA·cm−2 > Pt-coated Ti: 1.3 mA·cm−2). Through the demonstrated hydrocyclone electrowinning test, the gold concentration could be decreased from 100 to 0.24 mg·L−1 within 12 h while destroying almost total amount of free cyanide in a day.","PeriodicalId":12714,"journal":{"name":"Geosystem Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44391531","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 article focuses on the current state of e-waste recycling in Indonesia. The estimated amount of e-waste generation and distribution in the country, potential economic recovery, relevant legal frameworks, and recycling practices are presented. The review also highlights barriers to formal e-waste management and recycling in Indonesia, such as (i) superiority of the informal sector, (ii) lack of regulation and infrastructure, (iii) lack of awareness and reliable data about e-waste, (iv) low rate of research works on recycling technology development, and (v) large diversity of socio-economic and geographic conditions in Indonesia.

The recycling of Cu-bearing sludge is thus quite promising as compared to that of mining only primary ores, since it can reduce the energy consumption and environmental impacts due to greenhouse gas emission as well as the depletion of mineral resources. The present review paper emphasizes on the necessity of copper recovery from industrial sludge while examining the compositions and the characterization techniques applied, and current extraction and the separation approaches followed. The most significant issues addressed include the effective extraction of copper and still achieving selective separation from other impurities. The hydrometallurgical techniques provide more appropriate methods for copper recovery from the complex industrial sludge than other approaches; this too requires further investigations to enhance the extraction efficiency, separation selectivity from the leach solutions and the quality of obtained Cu products.","PeriodicalId":12714,"journal":{"name":"Geosystem Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46466823","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 race is on to develop alternative ways to utilize secondary sources, open new mines, reduce waste and recycle more. From being entirely dependent on China’s REE resources, the researchers and entrepreneurs globally are working towards development of alternative strategies to explore their indigenous resources to be self-sufficient. However, the existing strategies to extract these valuables rely on usage of mineral acids/alkalis. Continued effort on development of sustainable leaching methodologies led to the exploration of organic acids as a potential alternative. Low-molecular-weight carboxylic acids and organosulphonic acids have emerged as highly potent class of lixiviants for REE extraction. The knowledge of their variation in chemical structure and their complex potency towards lanthanides is essential towards development of an industrially viable process. In this review, the efficiency of the different organic acids in leaching REEs from various primary and secondary sources, along with their respective structural relevance has been summarized. This is expected to ameliorate the existing momentum of advancing nature-friendly industrial processes.","PeriodicalId":12714,"journal":{"name":"Geosystem Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43126352","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}

First, this study reviewed the monitoring of ammoniacal odor recommended by multiple low-cost monitoring sensors integrated with information technology (IT). To enhance the monitoring data quality, periodic calibration and validation through reference instruments is essential. To estimate odor emissions, emission factors should be classified by considering various scenarios and conditions. The application of modelling is desirable for predicting the dispersion of ammonia and odors, but a simpler model should be developed for non-experts in the preliminary stage. For ammonia treatment and resource recovery, it is necessary to support the development of high-efficiency and eco-friendly treatment technologies, which should be tested in upscaled systems with actual odors under field conditions.","PeriodicalId":12714,"journal":{"name":"Geosystem Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44192133","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}
