However, complex depositional settings and multiple geochemical processes have made it difficult to understand the mechanism of groundwater salinization. To characterize coastal groundwater salinization and elucidate its controlling mechanisms in Tianjin, China, a total of 228 groundwater samples were collected. The degree of groundwater salinization and associated hydrochemical evolution was systematically investigated using the groundwater quality index for seawater intrusion (GQI<sub>SWI</sub>) and some hydrochemical indicators and evolutionary diagrams. Hydrochemical analyses revealed an overall evolution from HCO₃-Ca type to Cl-Na type groundwater, with distinct salinization geochemical evolution pathways among different aquifers. The GQI<sub>SWI</sub> assessment indicated that both shallow and deep groundwater in Tianjin are dominated by fresh and brackish waters, with only minor differences in the overall degree of salinization along the vertical profile. Salinization of shallow groundwater is mainly concentrated in coastal areas and generally decreases progressively from the coastline toward inland areas. In contrast, the spatial distribution of salinity in deep groundwater is characterized primarily by localized high-salinity anomalies, without the development of a continuous salinization zone. Groundwater salinization in Tianjin therefore cannot be attributed solely to modern seawater intrusion; rather, it is jointly controlled by modern coastal salt inputs, freshwater recharge, long-term water-rock interactions, and ion exchange. These findings provide new insights into the identification of seawater intrusion and the interpretation of salinization mechanisms in complex coastal groundwater systems and offer a scientific basis for groundwater resource protection and management.</p>","PeriodicalId":23621,"journal":{"name":"Water Environment Research","volume":"98 10","pages":"e70607"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149115211","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}

Structural and morphological analyses confirmed the progressive transformation of the lignocellulosic precursor into a porous carbonaceous structure, while nitrogen adsorption-desorption analysis demonstrated that Lavender AC750 possessed the highest BET surface area (646.39 m<sup>2</sup>/g) and pore volume (0.239 cm<sup>3</sup>/g), with a developed micro/mesoporous structure. Consequently, Lavender AC750 was selected for adsorption studies. The experimentally determined point of zero charge (pH<sub>pzc</sub>) was 4.33, and adsorption performance was influenced by solution pH, contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial flutamide concentration, and temperature. Nonlinear equilibrium analysis showed that the Langmuir model provided the best fit (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9164, RMSE = 1.540 mg/g), yielding a maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 32.23 mg/g. Nonlinear kinetic analysis showed that the pseudo-first-order model satisfactorily described the adsorption kinetics (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.9435, RMSE = 0.545 mg/g), with a calculated equilibrium capacity (5.943 mg/g) close to the experimental value (5.83 mg/g). The combined results suggest that flutamide adsorption involves pore filling and surface adsorption accompanied by π-π interactions, hydrogen bonding, and pH-dependent electrostatic contributions.

A continuous-flow single-stage PN/A reactor treating low-strength ammonium (NH<sub>4</sub> <sup>+</sup>) wastewater without influent chemical oxygen demand (COD) was investigated, and a modified kinetic model was developed to clarify the role of partial denitrification (PD) in the presence of influent COD.

This study explores the potential of biochar made from banana peel (BPBC) for removing methylene blue (MB), methyl orange (MO), As(V), and Ni(II) from their aqueous solutions using spectrophotometry. The biochar was produced by pyrolyzing dry banana peels at 400°C in a Muffle Furnace and was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis. SEM images reveal surface roughness and pore development, indicating a heterogeneous and porous surface. BET analysis showed an increase in surface area and pore volume after pyrolysis, confirming mesoporosity. PZC for banana biochar surface was determined to be 5, which indicated that the biochar surface is positively charged at pH values below it. A maximum removal efficiency of 95.02% was observed for MB using 0.5 g of biochar in 30-min contact time with BPBC. Ni(II) and As(V) ions were removed with efficiencies of 81.86% and 54.80%, respectively, using 1 g of biochar.

The research was conducted at pilot scale at the La Victoria facility in Sucre, Colombia, between June 2024 and March 2025. A multifactorial experimental design comprising 18 trials was applied, with electric potential (0, 12, 15, and 18 V) and interelectrode distance (2 and 3 cm) as independent variables. The primary response variable was chemical oxygen demand (COD), complemented by biochemical oxygen demand (BOD<sub>5</sub>), total suspended solids (TSS), turbidity, total phosphorus (TP), and total nitrogen (TN). Among the discrete conditions evaluated, EC3-15 (3 cm, 15 V) provided the most favorable overall performance, achieving removals of 75.8% for COD, 76.0% for BOD<sub>5</sub>, 57.4% for TSS, approximately 92.0% for turbidity, 72.8% for TP, and 62.7% for TN.
