The result demonstrates that the PLA-based polyurethane resin conforms to A2 (nuclear growth) mechanism, and the activation energy of the reaction gradually decreases as the conversion rates increases. The main degradation of polyurethane resin is the decomposition of carbamate, ester group, amide and urea group by comparing the results of the data, and the products of the thermal decomposition are mainly small molecules of primary amine, carbon dioxide, enol, enolic acid and aldehydes.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"40 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138596403","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}

Retained fly ash at bottom of hopper has been mixed with water and dumped in lagoons in form of slurry as pond ash (PA) or lagoon ash. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) is a by-product obtained from steel industry. In this study, three phase of concrete specimens were prepared. In first phase, the specimens were prepared using 100% cement with various water-to-cementitious ratios. In second phase, specimens were prepared with varying water-to-cementitious ratios and PA contents ranging from 0 to 20%. Finally, the third phase, specimens were prepared to determine the optimal PA content, with GGBS ranging from 0 to 25%. The mechanical and rheological properties of different proportions of PA and GGBS have been experimentally investigated at 28 days. In addition, the flow ability and packing density of different proportions of PA and GGBS various mixes were tested. The test results revealed that combination of PA and GGBS up to 27% would enhance the fresh and harden properties of cementitious material. The rheological behaviour of optimal PA and GGBS concrete were tested at 28 days using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results confirmed that the addition of PA and GGBS resulting in a denser, less porous, and more compact CSH microstructure in concrete.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"13 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138596632","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}

Drought is one of the most severe environmental stresses affecting plant productivity. Plants in the Mediterranean climate zone are exposed to heat and drought in summer, and these conditions have a significant effect on plant growth and development. However, in this case, the entry of CO 2 into mesophyll cells is prevented and therefore the rate of photosynthesis decreases which ultimately causes a reduction in plant growth. In order to acclimate to stressful environmental conditions, plants exhibit several structural modifications to cope with these harmful conditions. This review highlights some aspects of anatomical adaptive changes in plants under drought stresssuch as a reduction in leaf size and angle, stomatal position, epidermal thickness and deposition of the cuticle to prevent the loss of water from the leaf surface. Furthermore, it elaborates the role of buliform cells in leaf rolling, structural adaptation in the mesophyll cells, and the presence of trichomes. Mesophyll cells and bulliform cells provide easier rolling of leaves in case of intense drought. In arid conditions, the economical use of water by plants is possible by closing the stomata and reducing transpiration.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"21 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139186235","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}

In acid treatment, the ceramsite surface generated a composite pore structure, thus the specific surface area of ceramsite is significantly increased through acid treatment. In alkaline treatment, hydroxyl functional groups were loaded on the surface of the ceramsite, therefore the adsorption capacity for heavy metals was significantly improved. The surface of modified ceramic particles carries a negative charge, which is beneficial for the adsorption of cations. Taking lead ions as an example, the adsorption performance of ceramic particles on heavy metals was tested, and the maximum adsorption capacity reached 33.2 mg/g. Furthermore, the modified ceramic particles exhibit good desorption and regeneration properties. The modified ceramsite offers advantages in terms of raw material sources and production costs compared to natural zeolite.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"17 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138604124","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 existing research focuses on the impact of digital economy on green total factor productivity, ignoring digital technology, which is a key technology for improving efficiency to achieve green development. Exploring the impact of digital technologies on green total factor productivity helps to understand the impact of digital economic development on green development from an internal perspective of the digital economy. This paper uses an SBM-GML index to measure regional green total factor productivity based on provincial level data and innovatively constructs digital technology indicators based on micro-level ICT patent data in China. Fixed-effects model is used to study the impact of digital technology on green total factor productivity and moderating model is used to examine the moderating effect of capital accumulation. The results indicate that: (1) At the national level, digital technology is conducive to the improvement of green total factor productivity, and the result passes the robustness test. From a dynamic long-term impact perspective, the effect of digital technology development on green total factor productivity is showing an increasing trend. (2) Digital technology’s effect on green total factor productivity is heterogenous. The results of the subregional heterogeneity analysis indicate that the effect is greater in the coastal regions and southern regions. The results of the heterogeneity analysis of the external environment indicate that the effect is greater in regions with smaller economies, regions with lower external economic dependence, and regions with lower government fiscal intervention. (3) Capital accumulation has moderating effect in the process of digital technology affecting green total factor productivity which will inhibit the improvement of digital technology development on green total factor productivity. Based on the conclusions, to better utilize the role of digital technology in promoting green development, it is necessary for the government to build a digital technology exchange platform, promote the balanced development of digital technology, and expand domestic demand to reduce the dependence on capital accumulation.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"17 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138601655","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}
