Different volume concentrations of BMB were combined with conventional diesel fuel (CDF), and 100 ppm of Al₂O₃ was dispersed into 30 % BMB-CDF blends using ultrasonication with a surfactant. The combustion analysis exposed that the addition of BMB to CDF reduced in-cylinder pressure while increasing net heat release and advancing the crank angle for peak values. The 30 % BMB blend led to a drop in brake thermal efficiency (BTE), with a corresponding upsurge in brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) emissions of 10.4 %, 11.3 %, and 10.9 %, respectively. However, formations of hydrocarbons (HC), carbon monoxide (CO), smoke, and particulate matter (PM) decreased by 14.3 %, 6.3 %, 11.1 %, and 12.5 %, respectively. The incorporation of Al₂O₃ nanoparticles improved BTE by 5.2 % and reduced BSFC, HC, CO, NOx, and smoke by 4.2 %, 13.7 %, 14.9 %, 5.8 %, and 15.5 %, respectively. Although PM emissions increased by 47.2 % with the nanoparticle-enriched blend, integration of the ESP effectively captured exhaust nanoparticles, reducing PM emissions by 54.2 %.

Despite numerous review studies on greenhouse cooling systems, there is a notable lack of comprehensive, actionable recommendations for incorporating renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and minimizing water usage within SGCS. Additionally, there is a gap in assessing the holistic sustainability of these systems across environmental, energy, and water conservation dimensions.

Despite their importance, previous studies have largely overlooked critical issues like radioactive hazards, human health risks, and environmental impacts associated with advanced thorium extraction methods. This study addresses these gaps by quantifying the environmental impact associated with solvent extraction and electrosorption techniques using a life cycle assessment (LCA) framework to compare environmental indicators for thorium recovery from monazite ore and WLP residues. The LCA was conducted from cradle to gate, incorporating inventory data from the Ecoinvent database 3 and SimaPro software version 9, with inputs of raw material extraction, transportation, energy consumption, and chemical uses. Emissions into air, water, and soil were quantified across all processing phases. The LCA midpoint findings reveal that thorium disulfate in monazite processing is the key contributor to global warming, producing 45 kg CO₂-eq, whereas transportation and electricity consumption also considerably affect emissions, contributing 25.07 kg CO₂-eq and 26.17 kg CO₂-eq, respectively. Comparative analysis of midpoint indicators showed that solvent extraction had a more significant environmental impact than electrosorption in the context of human carcinogenic toxicity, freshwater ecotoxicity, and marine ecotoxicity. The damaged assessment highlighted endpoint indicators that monazite processing had a higher impact than WLP on human health (0.0364–0.0016 DALY), ecosystems (0.0016–0.0005 species·yr), and resources (0.0012–0.0005 USD, 2013), primarily due to the use of chemicals and emissions.
