We developed novel flexible electrochemical stripping (FECS) for tunable recovery of ammonia/ammonium (total ammonia nitrogen, TAN) from urine as (NH4)2SO4 and aqueous NH3. Batch and continuous experiments demonstrated that product speciation could be readily controlled by modifying electrochemical cell operation frequency, duration, and applied current without affecting TAN removal. During continuous experiments, FECS recovered NH3 solutions with concentrations similar to ready-to-use cleaners (1% and 2% NH3 (w/w) or 8.22 and 16.4 g/L TAN) and cleaner concentrates (5% NH3 (w/w) or 41.1 g/L TAN), as well as (NH4)2SO4 solutions between 5 and 18.4 g/L TAN, approaching commercial fertilizer concentrations (28.4 g/L TAN). Beyond modifying applied current, future process engineering and operating condition optimization should reduce energy consumption, increase recovery efficiency, and enhance economic viability of FECS. Our findings will enable the development and deployment of electrochemical nitrogen recovery in contexts with varying needs for ammonia-based products, paving the way for circular economies that integrate distributed chemical manufacturing with sanitation systems.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"11 8","pages":"886–894 886–894"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141972634","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}

We evaluated the relative concentration efficiency and spatial–temporal distribution in raw wastewater to inform its development as a marker. The results showed significantly higher (p < 0.01) enrichment in raw wastewater solids (mean of 9.2 × 107 GC/mL) than in liquid fractions [mean of 2.3 × 106 genome copies (GC)/mL]. The relative concentration efficiencies were 28% for nanotrap particles, 23% for Amicon ultrafiltration, 3.6% for pH drop and filtration, 4% for skim milk flocculation, and 0.04% for poly(ethylene glycol) precipitation compared to direct wastewater extraction. DNase pretreatment reduced pBI143 levels by 90.3%, indicating that it is mainly extracellular in raw wastewater. Over 21 days, pBI143 levels remained stable and were consistently a mean of 1.3 log10 higher than other fecal indicators (Carjivirus, PMMoV, and HF183). In raw wastewater from eight states (n = 16), pBI143 concentrations averaged 2.2 × 106 GC/mL (95% confidence interval of 1.7–2.7 × 106) and pBI143 was detected in all samples. The findings support pBI143’s potential as a fecal indicator and normalization marker, though further validation is needed to confirm its specificity to humans.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"11 8","pages":"812–817 812–817"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141973096","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}

The rapid advancement of space-based methods for detecting and quantifying methane plumes provides an essential tool for uncovering these superemission events. We use a number of methane-sensitive satellite missions, including the Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI global mapper and several high-resolution instruments, to document a methane leak from a well blowout happening in Kazakhstan’s Karaturun East oil field in 2023. A dense time series of plume detections from those satellites shows that the leak was active during 205 days and that most of the emissions were in the range 20–50 t/h. Using 48 high-quality emission rate estimates, we calculate that a total of 131 ± 34 kt of methane was released to the atmosphere during this leak, which exceeds the total emissions from all previously documented accidents. Our study characterizes the evolution and magnitude of the 2023 Karaturun East methane leak and showcases how different types of satellite instruments can be combined to document and quantify methane leaks active during long time periods.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"11 8","pages":"825–830 825–830"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://pubs.acs.org/doi/epdf/10.1021/acs.estlett.4c00399","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141973382","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Incorporating red-emitting spheroidal cluster-assembled superstructures (CASs), comprised of Cu17 nanoclusters (Cu17NCs), coprotected by l-cysteine (l-Cys) and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino) ethane (DPPE) ligands, the sensor exhibits notable sensitivity toward arsenite (As3+) and (As5+) ions. A detection limit of 1 ppb in tap water was achieved through luminescence-based quenching. Remarkably, it demonstrates selective detection of As amidst common interfering metal ions such as Cd2+, Hg2+, Fe3+, Pb2+, Cu2+, and Cr3+. A sensor disc made of CASs coated on nonwoven polypropylene (PP) mats has been devised for practical field applications. Electron microscopy reveals disrupted morphology of the spheroids due to As interaction. Moreover, the CASs exhibit significant antibacterial efficacy against Gram-negative Escherichia coli and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and antibiofilm properties against Bacillus subtilis.

In six species investigated, PFAS were detected in all baleen tested (n = 18 plates, 220 samples, ∑10PFAS range of 0.02–60.5 ng/g of dry weight), at levels higher than those of other tissue types besides liver. Three of the species in our data set had not been tested for PFAS contamination previously, and two of those species (blue whale and North Atlantic right whale) are internationally endangered species. Apparent links were observed between PFAS and life-history events by testing successive subsamples along the growth axis of the baleen plates. These results establish baleen as a viable sample matrix for assessing PFAS contamination in marine ecosystems by enabling multiyear time-series analyses through single-tissue sampling with seasonal resolution.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"11 8","pages":"862–870 862–870"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141973379","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}

Here, three municipal solid waste landfills in Florida were assessed for neutral PFAS in landfill gas and ionic PFAS in landfill leachate to compare the relative mobility between the two pathways. Landfill gas was directly sampled using a high volume, XAD-2 resin based sampling approach developed for adsorption and analysis of 27 neutral PFAS. Across sites, 13 neutral PFAS were identified from fluorotelomer alcohol (FTOH), fluorotelomer olefin (FTO), secondary FTOH, fluorotelomer acetate (FTOAc), and fluorotelomer methyl acrylate (FTMAc) classes; however, FTOHs dominated concentrations (87–97% total neutral PFAS), with most detections surpassing utilized calibration levels. Even under conservative assumptions, the mass of fluorine leaving in landfill gas (32–76%) was comparable to or greater than the mass leaving in landfill leachate (24–68%). These findings suggest that landfill gas, a less scrutinized byproduct, serves as a major pathway for the mobility of PFAS from landfills.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"11 7","pages":"730–737"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141522074","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}

We herein demonstrate that switching the UV radiation source from conventional low-pressure UV (UV254) to far-UVC (UV222) increases the UV fluence-based concentration of hydroxyl radicals (HO•) in the UV/peracetic acid (UV/PAA) process by 4.1-fold and 27.9-fold in deionized water and real surface water, respectively. Acetyloxyl radicals (CH3C(O)O•) are generated in the UV222/PAA process at a steady-state concentration of 2.4 × 10–12 M in deionized water, while they are undetectable in the UV254/PAA process under the comparable conditions. The enhancement to radical production is mainly attributed to the 15.7-fold higher molar absorption coefficients of PAA0 at 222 nm than 254 nm (50 vs 3.5 M–1 cm–1), which suppresses the compromised 1.1-fold lower innate quantum yield at 222 nm than 254 nm (0.78 vs 0.86 mol einstein–1). The enhanced radical generation and direct photolysis promote the fluence-based degradation rate constants of bisphenol A, phenol, and nitrobenzene by 4.1-fold, 3.3-fold, and 2.9-fold in the UV222/PAA process than the UV254/PAA process.","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"11 7","pages":"759–763"},"PeriodicalIF":8.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141522075","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}
