While prior studies have focused on the impacts of wheat and rice residue burning, the effects of sugarcane trash burning remain underexplored. This study aimed to compare air quality at six locations in Northern Haryana over two years to assess the impact of sugarcane burning on ambient air quality. Results showed that pollutant concentrations increased significantly during burning, with PM_2.5, PM₁₀, SO₂, and NO₂ levels increasing by 1.49, 1.63, 1.69, and 1.09 times, respectively (<i>p</i> &lt; 0.05). The carbon monoxide (CO) concentration also significantly increased with a mean value of 1.56 ± 0.26 mg/m³ occurring during the sugarcane trash-burning period. The PM_2.5, PM₁₀, and CO concentrations exceeded the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), though SO₂ and NO₂ concentrations remained within permissible limits. Additionally, the study identified strong correlations between pollutant levels and meteorological variables, with higher humidity increasing pollutants and wind speed significantly decreasing pollutant concentrations. The PM_2.5/PM₁₀ ratio of 0.76 indicates the emission of finer particles, and SEM–EDX analysis of the PM_2.5 filter paper revealed potassium-enriched particles likely from trash burning. The air quality index declined to very poor (category V) during burning periods, underscoring the need for regulatory measures. This study revealed a significant increase in pollutant concentration, during sugarcane trash burning causing a marked decline in the AQI and exacerbating environmental and health risks. This highlights the urgent need for regulatory mandates and adoption of sustainable trash management methods.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"22 9","pages":"8135 - 8148"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143904869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Samples were collected from five sites over four seasons in 2017 and analysed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), with metal levels were compared to water and sediment quality guidelines.

Organic dyes and their challenges in the removal process together with their ability to transport coexisting pollutants are becoming a global threat to living organisms and the environment. Here, five types of organic dyes with different charges and sizes are sustainably removed from water using modified waste material as an economical and environmentally friendly sorbent. These dyes include methyl orange (MO), indigo carmine (IC), crystal violet (CV), methylene blue (MB), and malachite green (MG). Modified activated carbon derived from coconut shell (biochar) (<b>AC-CS</b>) was successfully prepared via a pyrolysis method using pre- and post-treatment modification to produce a sorbent with high porosity and rich functional groups. The structure, morphology, and porosity of the <b>AC-CS</b> were characterized through a series of techniques. The performance of <b>AC-CS</b> on the dye removal efficiency was studied through batch adsorption and column filtration experiments. Batch adsorption studies indicated removal efficiencies between 90 to 100% for all dyes by various adsorption mechanisms like electrostatic interactions (π–π stacking and H-bonding) and Fenton-like reaction. Furthermore, the <b>AC-CS</b> exhibited excellent removal efficiency for above mentioned dyes reaching the maximum adsorption capacities of 900 mg g⁻¹ (IC), 199 mg g⁻¹ (MB), 100 mg g⁻¹ (MG), 98 mg g⁻¹ (MO), and 39 mg g⁻¹ (CV). The adsorption isotherm and kinetics are in good match with pseudo-second-order models and thermodynamic studies showed dye molecule removal is spontaneous and thermodynamically favorable at higher temperatures. Also, our result for the simultaneous removal of a mixture containing quinary dyes revealed a higher removal performance at a shorter time than single dyes due to the effect of changing the surface charge of <b>AC-CS</b> by adsorbed dye molecules. Finally, the dynamics adsorption behavior of <b>AC-CS</b> was also studied by passing dyes and dye-mixture through a fixed-bed column representing this sorbent has potential for the treatment of micropollutant-containing wastewater in actual sewage and large-scale which provides basic support for the future practical applications.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":589,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Environmental Science and Technology","volume":"22 7","pages":"5363 - 5386"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143602341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Developing low-cost and high-surface-area adsorbents synthesised by nanotechnology to eliminate organic dyes is an essential issue in water treatment. Recently, silica aerogels, a kind of nanomaterials, have been investigated as adsorbents due to their high porosity, high surface area, and low cost. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize tetraethoxysilane (TEOS)-based silica aerogel (SA) to assess its efficacy in removing eriochrome black T (EBT), which is a potentially hazardous dye. Based on adsorption studies, the optimal adsorption conditions were found to be 0.2 g adsorbent dosage, pH 2, 120 min contact time, 10 mg L⁻¹ initial EBT concentration, and a temperature of 40 °C. The adsorption data were best fitted with a remarkably high correlation coefficient of R² = 0.999 in the pseudo-second-order model. According to the results of the adsorption isotherm model analysis, the R² values for the Temkin, Freundlich, and Langmuir models were determined to be 0.971, 0.935, and 0.954, respectively, particularly at the optimally determined temperature of 40 °C. Thermodynamically, the process is exothermic and spontaneous. In addition to experimental studies, the WB97x-D level of the Density Functional Theory was used to elucidate the detailed adsorption mechanism between SA and EBT in the water phase.
