In this study, a metal-organic framework, UiO-66-2,5-dimercapto-1,3,4-thiadiazole (DMTD), was synthesized as a promising adsorbent for gold (Au) recovery from solid wastes. Initially, UiO-66-NH₂ was functionalized with four different thiadiazole derivatives, containing thiol, amine, and methyl functional groups at the 2' and 5' positions. Among these, DMTD was selected due to its superior sorption efficiency. The synthesized UiO-66-DMTD exhibited exceptional selectivity and sorption efficiency during repeated addition of spent adsorbent, even in the presence of competing ions, within a pH range of 1 to 6. Au(III) appears to interact with S = C, S-H, and N = C groups on thiadiazole through reductive chelation, resulting in 53% Au(0), 26% Au(I), and 21% Au(III), based on the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results. To obtain pure Au(0), tin chloride solution was reacted following the Au sorption by UiO-66-DMTD, and as a result, Au(0) nanoparticles with 200-500 nm size range were recovered. Overall, the consecutive reaction of the leaching solution with UiO-66-DMTD and tin chloride is an effective method for the selective recovery of Au(0) nanoparticles from secondary resources.</p>","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144473632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

A critical research gap exists regarding the comparative study between Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) and BS-VI compliant vehicles in various diverse Indian driving conditions. Laboratory-based measurement often fails to captures detailed emission profiles in complex traffic conditions. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the emissions from BS-IV petrol, BS-IV diesel, and BS-VI petrol vehicles in Indian driving conditions using a portable emission measurement system (PEMS). We developed a novel framework that integrates vehicle specific power (VSP) with unsupervised techniques to identify and analyze the distinct emission profiles over various driving conditions. The best clustering algorithm's results (k means) were used to compare and assess the emissions characteristics of BS-VI and BS-IV vehicles under various driving conditions. Result showed that CO₂ and NO_x emissions were highest for all three vehicle types during transitions from idle to minor acceleration and lowest during idling/creeping. BS-VI petrol vehicles demonstrated a substantial decrease (25 to 90%) in NO_x emissions compared to BS-IV petrol vehicles across different driving conditions. However, the difference in CO₂ emissions between BS-IV and BS-VI petrol vehicles was minimal (5%). The developed models can be a decision-support tool for policymakers to encourage responsible driving behavior and reduce vehicular emissions. This research is notable for its accurate, data-driven representation of real-world emissions. It offers policymakers a crucial tool for assessing emission regulations and driving patterns, encouraging eco-friendly driving practices.</p>","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144473634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 we present a novel approach for uranium removal from aqueous system by chemically modifying low-grade coal (low-carbon and high silicate content) with adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP) nucleotide and adsorbent referred here as coal@AMP. Functionalisation of coal was carried out by incorporating amide and phosphate functional groups via oxidation and reduction phenomenon. Chemical make-up and structural morphology of coal@AMP was explored using FT-IR and SEM-EDX analysis. Under the optimised pH 6 and adsorbent dose (10 mg per 100 mL), the coal@AMP exhibited 92.2% removal of uranium from aqueous medium in 300 s, following pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir adsorption isotherm. It corresponded to a maximum adsorption capacity (q_max) of 624.6 mg/g. The fast and efficient adsorption of uranium by coal@AMP is favoured by the strong interaction or chelation of uranium species with the amide and phosphate groups. Coal@AMP exhibited excellent selectivity towards adsorption of uranium against interfering ions, e.g. Cd²⁺, Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Fe²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, Mn²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Ni²⁺.

This study developed optimal concrete mixture proportions for different heating and re-curing regimes. The objective functions were 28-day, residual, and re-cured compressive strengths, cost, and embodied CO₂emissions. A data set, including approximately 500 mix designs, was collected from the literature to develop an optimal ANN model to predict the first three objectives. The genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization were used to tune the ANN model's hyperparameters. NSGA-II and MOPSO algorithms, besides this optimal ANN model, were then used to develop the optimal mixture proportions for different heating and re-curing regimes. TOPSIS was utilized to sort the non-dominated solutions and select the optimal one based on different weight vectors. The results showed that the R² values for the verification set in predicting the 28-day, residual, and re-cured compressive strengths were 0.999, 0.987, and 0.977, respectively. The sensitivity analysis revealed that the heating regime (especially peak temperature) is the most fundamental input feature in predicting the post-fire behavior of concretes. The optimal concrete mixture proportion depends mainly on the case study, which considers economic, environmental, and post-fire mechanical objectives. Most of the mixtures were high-strength concretes when all objectives were equally weighted. Increasing the cost and embodied CO₂ emissions weights resulted in cost-efficient and environmentally friendly concretes in exchange for inferior mechanical properties. The developed mixtures by NSGA-II were mostly blended with metakaolin when all objectives equally weighted. Silica fume appeared as SCM in mixtures when the cost and embodied CO₂ emissions weighted five times that of the mechanical objectives. The proposed framework facilitates the appropriate selection of the mixture proportion.</p>","PeriodicalId":545,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science and Pollution Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144473631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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}

Results show that recycling significantly reduces GWP by 49% compared to incineration (354 kg CO₂ equivalent vs. 693 kg CO₂ equivalent) and by 48% compared to landfill (677 kg CO₂ equivalent), while HTP impact is reduced by 85%. Although incineration allows partial energy recovery, it has the highest environmental footprint across most impact categories except HTP. The findings emphasize the need for strong regulatory frameworks to promote solar PV waste recycling, aligning with circular economy principles to mitigate environmental impact.

Monthly sampling of water quality parameters and fish species was performed from July 2020 to June 2021. Fishermen's perception was assessed to determine the declining factors of fish abundance from the haor. A total of 59 fish and 3 prawn species were recorded belonging to 9 orders and 20 families. Cypriniformes was the most abundant group, accounting for 26.34% of the overall catch. Fish catch showed monthly variation with January (24.88%) and May (1.56%) recording the highest and lowest catch, respectively. Among the fish species, Puntius sophore (8.36%) was the most abundant species while the least contribution was noted for Bagarius bagarius (0.07%). Planktivore (32.09%) also showed the highest dominance among the trophic groups.

Furthermore, correlation analysis signifies the importance of water temperature, DO, pH, TDS, alkalinity, nitrate, and phosphate in structuring the total abundance of fish species in the Khaliajury haor. The present study identified the dewatering during dry months, overexploitation, destructive fishing practices, structures impeding fish migration, and siltation as the key factors for declining fish abundance in the Khaliajury haor.
