Various testing methods were employed to evaluate the mechanical properties of the aggregates, their ability to immobilize heavy metals in MSWIFA, and their subsequent impact on mortar performance. The results showed that as the coal fly ash (CFA) content increased, the compressive strength of the artificial aggregate gradually increased. The carbonation curing shortened the curing period of MSWIFA-based artificial aggregates. The aggregates subjected to 7 d of carbonation exhibited at least a 6.90 % strength increase compared to those cured for 28 d under standard conditions. The combined use of CFA and carbonation curing enhanced the aggregates' apparent density and reduced water absorption. This improvement is attributed to the formation of calcium carbonate polymorphs and C-S-H gel, which synergistically filled pores and micro-cracks, refined the pore structure, and enhanced the interfacial transition zone. In addition, the hydration products, notably C-S-H gel, Friedel's Salt, and AFt, played a crucial role in immobilizing heavy metals, achieving stabilization efficiencies of up to 90 % for heavy metals such as Pb and Zn. The mortar mixed with carbonization-cured artificial aggregate demonstrated superior to the mortar mixed with standard-cured artificial aggregate in terms of compressive strength, gas permeability and carbonation resistance. In summary, this research provides innovative approaches for the resource utilization of MSWIFA, which can alleviate the shortage of natural aggregates and is conducive to achieving green, low-carbon and sustainable development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20743,"journal":{"name":"Process Safety and Environmental Protection","volume":"201 ","pages":"Article 107568"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144613108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}

Livestock and poultry manure, a major agricultural waste stream, contains significant quantities of EPs. Its extensive application in agroecosystems facilitates the uptake and acropetal movement of EPs by edible crops, thereby posing risks of human exposure via food consumption. Microbially-derived laccase, ubiquitously distributed in agroecosystems, exhibits exceptional efficacy in EP detoxification through enzymatic polymerization. By mediating copolymerization between EPs and co-substrates, the enzymatic process generates non-toxic precipitates——a mechanism validated in experimental bioremediation protocols targeting EP-contaminated water, soil, and rhizosphere environments. This process mirrors natural humification pathways, offering dual benefits of pollutant decontamination and humus-like substance formation within root-associated zones. This study summarizes the new horizons opened by microbe-produced laccase for EP rhizoremediation, organic carbon humification, and crop uptake. We briefly delineate the current status of EP soil contamination and crop accumulation in China, followed by an analysis of EP subcellular partitioning and cytotoxic effects across crop organs.

The model explicitly couples contaminant advection, dispersion, adsorption, and degradation across a three-domain system (inside aquifer-cutoff wall-outside aquifer), allowing for more accurate performance prediction of vertical barriers. A series of scenario comparisons were conducted using the proposed model, examining the effects of initial pollution status, source dynamics, hydraulic gradients, and barrier permeability. Results show that ignoring pre-existing contamination may lead to an overestimation of breakthrough time by more than 200 %, while source removal can reduce outlet concentrations by up to 50 % depending on wall placement. Sensitivity analysis indicates that reducing barrier permeability (from 10⁻⁸ to 10⁻⁹ m/s) or reversing hydraulic gradients can delay contaminant breakthrough time by an order of magnitude. Practical design curves are introduced to optimize barrier thickness, installation timing, and position, demonstrating that early installation, expanded control zones, and high-adsorption/low-permeability backfilling significantly reduce required barrier dimensions.

The leaching of riparian soil, discharge of industrial wastewater, agricultural activities, and domestic sewage discharge can all introduce new dissolved organic matter (DOM) into rivers, thereby altering the structure of the original DOM in the river. In recent years, fluorescence traceability technology, especially three-dimensional fluorescence spectroscopy (3D-EEM) combined with parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC), has become an important tool to study the source and change of DOM. However, there are differences in the definition and calculation methods of the traditional fluorescence index, which leads to its limited applicability in different water bodies, so it is unable to accurately distinguish the sources of pollutants. Here, by combining the random forest model with three-dimensional to two-dimensional, taking the Liaohe River Basin as the research object, a new fluorescence traceability model is constructed. Divide it into three sources, i.e., originating from urb sewage, agricultural wastewater and soil organic matter, and thus defined as U-DOM, A-DOM, T-DOM, respectively. Based on the random forest model, special nodes of three-dimensional fluorescence spectrum can be identified, which can be tracked from three sources. It was closely related to the key peaks and nodes of EEM from three different sources, i.e., URB sewage (U-SoI: U-1/U-2 =(Ex: 245, Em: 440)nm/((Ex: 230, Em: 345)nm), agricultural wastewater (A-SoI: A-1/A-2 =( Ex: 245, Em: 325)nm/( Ex: 260, Em: 430)nm) and soil organic matter (T-SoI: T-1/T-2 =( Ex: 260, Em: 430)nm/( Ex: 285, Em: 365)nm). It is found that when U-SoI is greater than 0.9, it can be recognized as a typical U-DOM; When A-SoI is between 0.2 and 0.3, it indicates that it is A-DOM; When T-SoI is less than 0.5, it is displayed as T-DOM. Compared with the traditional fluorescence index traceability method, the new traceability model shows that the operation is more convenient and efficient, can provide more accurate traceability results, and can flexibly distinguish the source of pollutants according to the specific environment and pollution characteristics, so as to better adapt to the traceability requirements in different scenarios.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":20743,"journal":{"name":"Process Safety and Environmental Protection","volume":"201 ","pages":"Article 107553"},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144589086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"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}
