The performance of four treatment configurations was evaluated based on physicochemical analyses (COD, TOC, Pb (II), Na, NO<sub>3</sub> -N, pH, conductivity) and supported by membrane permeability monitoring and ecotoxicity tests with Vibrio fischeri and Lemna minor. The UF-NF-RO system demonstrated significant removal of pollutants, with COD, TOC, Pb(II), and Na reductions of 88.6 %, 63.3 %, 99.6 % and 91.1 %, respectively. However, despite of the high retention degrees, the effluent did not meet discharge standards.

This study employs system dynamics modeling and the Water Resource Carrying Capacity (WRCC) framework to assess four degrowth scenarios focused on rice and wheat cultivation, evaluating their effects on water consumption and economic value-added. Results show that eliminating rice production and reducing wheat cultivation by 10 %, or converting 20 % of irrigated wheat to rainfed farming, yielded only marginal improvements in the Water Resource Carrying Capacity (WRCC) index. Reaching a sustainable WRCC demands at least a 25 % reduction in agricultural water withdrawals, with an associated 13 % decline in economic output.

However, the environmental impact of hydrocarbon extraction and utilization remains a challenging phenomenon, which has recorded a far worse impact on the soil, groundwater, and public health.

The concentrations of HCCs and variations in electrical resistivity values were examined. The regional aquifer vulnerability to the HCCS was evaluated. Based on the study's outcomes, HCCs occur in the overburdened topsoil at depths of 0.0 m–3.5 m, with electrical resistivity values varying between 15,000 Ωm and 60,000 Ωm.

This article presents two distinct synthesis routes of Li/Al LDH materials, hydrothermal and coprecipitation, their characterizations and their Li extraction properties in synthetic brine. Indeed, the synthesis route impacts the physicochemical properties of the adsorbent and hence the Li<sup>+</sup> extraction performances. A link between the structural and morphological properties of the adsorbents and the extraction properties was established. The material obtained by the coprecipitation method appears more effective for extracting lithium, as it is made up of grains of small particles with a greater pore volume and a larger exchange surface. This morphological property leads directly to a fast extraction kinetics, which is an essential point for a viable DLE process. This article also shows a close link between the LiCl content in the materials and the maximum achievable extraction capacity. The two active materials studied here have in fact the same maximum capacities due to an identical LiCl content in their crystalline structure, meaning that all sorption sites can be reached under optimal extraction conditions.
