However, managing the risks in GBs projects is challenging because of their unique features and integrable technologies. To this end, this paper proposes a framework that aligns risk management practices with sustainability objectives by identifying key risk factors, examining their impact, and emphasising proactivity, resilience, and transparency in managing the critical risks and affecting the successful implementation and delivery of GBs projects. To achieve this, a two-phase approach for data collection and analysis. First, a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework is applied to critically evaluate selected studies, synthesize findings on major risk categories, and identify gaps and patterns that inform the proposed risk management framework. Second, bibliometric analysis of the identified papers from the first methodological phase is conducted to map the research landscape, uncover key publication trends, analyse the annual progression of GBs risk management studies, and explore keyword co-occurrence and collaboration networks related to risk and sustainability in GBs projects. This study offers valuable implications for both academia and industry by addressing the pressing need for more sustainable and resilient risk management in GBs projects. Theoretically, it advances current literature by explicitly integrating sustainability objectives within the risk management process, thereby shedding light on complex interdependencies that are often overlooked in conventional frameworks. By doing so, it contributes to a more holistic understanding of how sustainability and risk factors intersect throughout the project lifecycle. Methodologically, the use of a systematic and replicable PRISMA-based review ensures the credibility and depth of the findings, providing a structured categorisation of GB-specific risks, drivers, and uncertainties that can guide future empirical investigations. Practically, the proposed framework serves as a valuable decision-support tool for project managers, designers, and policymakers by offering clear steps for implementation, improving proactive risk identification and mitigation, and enhancing overall project resilience. Furthermore, the developed framework lays a foundation for future research to test and refine its components across different geographical, regulatory, and technological contexts, and to explore advanced digital and AI-driven tools that could further strengthen proactive and predictive risk management in sustainable construction.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":349,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cleaner Production","volume":"519 ","pages":"Article 145891"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144321193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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-situ straw return may exacerbate soil contamination by enhancing pollutant input and decreasing microbial activity.

Here, we investigated the impact of fractions of straw-derived dissolved organic matter (DOM) on PAHs bioavailability in soils, and clarified the effects of in-situ straw return on PAHs removal and bioavailability in PAHs contaminated soils by analyzing FTIR, EEMs, PAHs concentration, PAHs fractions transformation and metagenomics. Our results showed that the DOM fraction with low molecular weight from straw decomposition enhanced HMW PAHs desorption. Only in high contamination soils did in-situ straw return increase PAHs removal rate (4.05 %–6.20 %), bioavailable fractions concentrations (50.22 %–97.62 %) and uptake rate in winter wheat (19.46 %–22.68 %). Metagenomics showed that in-situ straw return promoted PAHs degraders including <em>Nocardioides</em> (153.06 %–316.13 %), <em>Halomonas</em> (91.77 %–262.35 %), and <em>Streptomyces</em> (167.92 %–208.11 %).

Sustainable wave-driven floating photobioreactors, which offer low cost and high production efficiency, hold great potential for producing <em>Spirulina</em> at a lower cost to replace fishmeal. However, the economic feasibility of this method has not been evaluated. This study assessed the economic viability of producing <em>Spirulina</em> biomass in floating photobioreactors, with the widely used raceway ponds for commercial <em>Spirulina</em> production as the comparison. The results indicated that the total production cost of <em>Spirulina</em> in the floating photobioreactors is approximately $ 2.57 per kg for a 20-ha production area, lower than the $ 3.89 per kg cost in raceway ponds. Expanding the production area to 100-ha could reduce the cost of <em>Spirulina</em> in the floating photobioreactors to be lower than the price of fishmeal ($ 2.27 per kg), while the cost in the raceway ponds would remain higher than fishmeal ($ 3.55 per kg). A sensitivity analysis revealed that the production cost could potentially be further reduced to $ 1.26 per kg for the floating photobioreactors and $ 1.76 per kg for the raceway ponds with the proposed strategy.

When the CO concentration in the flue gas exceeds 0.4 vol %, the heat released from the complete oxidation of CO can satisfy the demands of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) denitrification. A comprehensive benefit analysis demonstrated that the COC heat supplementation scheme significantly reduced blast furnace gas consumption and usage costs by 2–3 orders of magnitude while lowering annual CO₂ emissions by approximately 40 %. To reduce the cost of catalysts in COC scheme applications, a highly active catalyst with ultra-low Pt loading was developed. Under ultra-low Pt loading of 0.01 wt %, the catalyst achieved complete CO oxidation at 210 °C. The turnover frequency (TOF) of 0.01Pt/Ti-D N₂ at 230 °C was 49.81 s⁻¹, representing a two-order-of-magnitude improvement compared to the conventional 0.1Pt/Ti catalyst (0.1 s⁻¹).

This study innovates an acid/alkali-assisted hydrothermal processing strategy for simultaneous solid-liquid valorization of BSG into energy-dense biofuels and nutrient-rich biofertilizer. Through a dual-phase experimental design, we decoupled the synergistic effects of process parameters and additives (H₂SO₄, Ca(OH)₂) on carbon-nitrogen phase partitioning and functional enhancement. At optimized conditions (180 °C, 45 min), the system achieved 57 wt% carbon in hydrochar alongside 4 wt% nitrogen fixation, with the liquid phase concentrating 1419 ± 50.92 mg L⁻¹ dissolved carbon and 233 ± 9.67 mg L⁻¹ bioavailable nitrogen. Additive dosage critically governed molecular restructuring: stabilizing C=C bonds and pyridinic-N/pyrrolic-N moieties in solids while preserving non-phytotoxic nitrogenous organics in liquids. Consequently, additive-enhanced hydrochar exhibited higher combustion stability, improved thermal reactivity, and suppressed emissions of inert and nitrogen-containing gases, whereas the hydrolysate accelerated seed gemination rate and biomass accumulation in rice seedlings, rivaling urea efficacy. Notably, Ca(OH)₂ emerged as the superior additive, achieving dual enhancements of biofuel and biofertilizer metrics.
