Leucaena wood (LW)-derived biochar was prepared at various pyrolysis temperatures (500, 700, and 900 °C) for 90 min. Among all, highly microporous LW biochar, pyrolyzed at 900 °C, showed the highest CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption capacity of 52.18 mg/g at 30 °C, 1 bar This biochar was further impregnated with ammonium metavanadate solution at different concentrations (1, 3, 4, 5 and 8 wt%) and then heated at 500 °C to obtain vanadium oxide-deposited biochar. The metal deposition of 3 wt% increased the CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption capacity of the biochar to 71.85 mg/g under the same adsorption conditions, which can be attributed to the significant contribution of vanadium oxide to CO<sub>2</sub> chemisorption. Here, vanadium oxide could create oxygen vacancy on the LW surface which further react with CO<sub>2</sub> in the atmosphere. Kinetic studies revealed that the Avrami model could accurately predict the CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption behaviour, indicating both physisorption and chemisorption contributed to the adsorption. The activation energy for CO<sub>2</sub> uptake was calculated at around − 8.04 kJ/mol.

In this study, a natural Clinoptilolite-type zeolite was modified with Hexadecyl Trimetilammonium Bromide (HDTMA) for PFOS remediation in aqueous solutions. The modification introduced an inversion of Clinoptilolite's natural surface net charge, i.e., from negative to positive, making it effective in capturing PFOS.

To enhance the efficiency of the PRO system, the inherently hydrophobic PSF surface is modified through functionalization with benzenesulfonamide groups (BSA-PSF). The modification process involves chloromethylation of PSF, followed by substitution with BSA, and subsequent electrospinning to produce BSA-PSF fibers. A thin-film composite forward osmosis membrane, composed of an electrospun BSA-PSF support layer and a polyamide thin layer synthesized through interfacial polymerization (BSA-PSF/PA), is developed. The incorporation of BSA improves the hydrophilicity of the membrane surface, while also imparting antibacterial features to the electrospun BSA-PSF. Comparative analyses with pristine PSF membranes reveal that the pure water flux of the BSA-PSF membrane achieves a notable 65 LMH, surpassing the pristine PSF membrane’s flux of 45 LMH. Moreover, protein absorption is significantly reduced in the BSA-PSF membrane (40.6 <i>μ</i>g cm<sup>−2</sup>) compared to the unmodified PSF membrane (64.2 <i>μ</i>g cm<sup>−2</sup>). The establishment of a hydration layer near the surface, facilitated by hydrogen interactions between water units and the hydrophilic sulfonamide chains in the polymer, contributes to lower protein adsorption than observed in the pristine PSF membrane. Notably, the prepared BSA-PSF/PA membrane exhibits advanced surface hydrophilicity, commendable antibacterial properties, exceptional fouling resistance, and high water permeability.

This study focuses on the crucial regions of the Arabian Sea, Red Sea, and Mediterranean Sea which are highly affected by human-caused climate change, aiming to unravel the complexities of air–sea CO<sub>2</sub> exchange dynamics. Understanding these processes is essential for predicting climate changes and assessing the health of marine ecosystems. In this context, a combination of observation-based data (Oc_v2020), and a multi-model ensemble of climate model simulations, were employed to explore the spatial and temporal variations in air–sea CO<sub>2</sub> flux (FCO<sub>2</sub>) over these areas from 1982 to 2019. We implemented the Bayesian Model Averaging approach on the model outputs, resulting in a better representation of simulated CO<sub>2</sub> flux. Overall, climate models seem to underestimate the FCO<sub>2</sub> over the western Arabian Sea. We speculate that this model failure is attributed to the negative biased in vertical water velocity and the unrealistically representation of carbon release during coastal upwelling processes in the model. Our findings suggest that CO<sub>2</sub> source across the Red Sea, the Arabian Sea, and the central region of the Mediterranean Sea has been reduced with a trend of − 0.494 ± 0.009, − 1.350 ± 0.001, and − 0.329 ± 0.074 gCm<sup>−2</sup> year<sup>−1</sup> decade<sup>−1</sup>, respectively. In contrast, the CO<sub>2</sub> sink across the Western Mediterranean has been enhanced with a trend of − 0.793 ± 0.086 gCm<sup>−2</sup> year<sup>−1</sup> decade<sup>−1</sup>. In general, change in the water temperature was recognized as the major contributor to the sea surface partial pressure of CO<sub>2</sub> (pCO<sub>2</sub>). The exception was found in the Arabian Sea, where non-thermal effects play the major role. Our results show that the CO<sub>2</sub> flux variation is accompanied by regional changes in the sea surface pCO<sub>2</sub>. Across the North Arabian Sea, FCO<sub>2</sub> is also correlated with the surface wind variability, which is likely due to the changes in wind-driven upwelling. In conclusion, our study advances the understanding of regional air–sea CO<sub>2</sub> exchange dynamics, emphasizing the need for improved model representation in areas with intense seasonal upwelling. The prominent changes in the Arabian Sea, underscore the immediate necessity for science-based management in this region to mitigate the impacts of human-induced global warming.</p>","PeriodicalId":14121,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Research","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140568170","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}
