This study presents a hydrometallurgical route for selective silica recovery using ammonium bifluoride (NH<sub>4</sub>HF<sub>2</sub>) to produce high‑grade nanoscale amorphous silica. Near‑complete extraction (~ 98%) is achieved within 3 h at 80 °C with 30 wt% NH<sub>4</sub>HF<sub>2</sub>, and kinetic analysis indicates a mixed‑control mechanism (<i>E</i><sub><i>a</i></sub> = 16–18 kJ/mol). To model the recovery as a function of time, reagent concentration, and temperature, three machine learning (ML) techniques were compared: fully connected artificial neural network (ANN), random forest (RF), and least squares regression (LS). The ANN outperformed the others (R<sup>2</sup> = 0.995, RMSE = 0.028), providing a robust predictive tool that also enables flexible selection of conditions for 98% recovery with reduced reagent use. With the potential to recycle up to 95% of NH<sub>4</sub>HF<sub>2</sub>, the ANN‑optimized process enhances the economic feasibility of the industrial‑scale IOT valorization. Selective silica removal enriches the residual valuable elements and simplifies their downstream separation by circumventing silicate interference.

Despite extensive research on waste causation, there is limited empirical evidence on the effectiveness of structured operational interventions in real construction conditions. This study evaluates phase-based waste minimisation strategies using a longitudinal quasi-experimental design across twenty high-rise residential projects in Bengaluru, India. Material wastage was monitored over eight construction phases, generating a balanced panel dataset of 160 site–phase observations. Projects were categorised into intervention and non-intervention groups, with structured measures introduced from Phase 3 onwards. A two-way fixed-effects panel model was applied to control for site-specific and temporal variations. The results reveal a clear divergence in waste performance. Intervention sites achieved a 24.91% reduction in waste-related cost, whereas non-intervention sites recorded a 17.50% increase. Econometric analysis indicates a reduction of − 8.57 kg/m² in material waste intensity (<i>p</i> < 0.01), along with cost reductions of −₹15.61/m² and −₹9.01/m² at phase and cumulative levels, respectively.

This paper systematically reviews the fundamental principles, technical challenges, optimization strategies, and product applications of composting.

Establishing a multi-dimensional evaluation system is critical for scientifically assessing compost maturity and stability to ensure product quality. Once mature, the compost serves as a premium soil amendment and organic fertilizer, boosting crop growth and curbing chemical fertilizer use through improved soil structure, elevated fertility, and modulated microbial activity, thereby advancing sustainable agriculture.

Although mechanical recycling is the most commonly used method today for most waste textiles, for synthetic fabrics, the process can damage the fabrics and degrade the quality of the recovered fibers.

The results indicated that LD slag exhibits cementitious characteristics that enhance the mechanical properties of concrete, with optimal performance at a 10% replacement. Beyond this level, further replacement led to a gradual decline in strength due to changes in the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) and matrix heterogeneity. Microstructural analysis revealed that SCC mixes developed a denser ITZ and greater formation of calcium silicate hydrate gels compared to NCC, contributing to a more homogeneous microstructure and higher strength.
