ZIF-67/PVA nanofibers were developed by integrating zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF-67) nanoparticles into electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The synthesized material was thoroughly characterized using SEM, Raman spectroscopy, XRD, FTIR, TGA, and XPS. Adsorption studies of Pb2+ were conducted by varying parameters such as initial concentration, ZIF-67/PVA dosage, pH, and contact time. The adsorption process was analyzed using both linear and nonlinear isotherms, with the data best fitting the PFO and Avrami kinetic models (R2 = 0.98) and the nonlinear Freundlich isotherm model (R2 = 0.91). The nanofibers demonstrated high efficacy, with a maximum Pb2+ adsorption capacity of 140.3 mg g–1 at pH 6, initial ion concentration of 10 and 20 mg L–1 ZIF-67/PVA. Molecular docking simulations indicated that the adsorption primarily involves electrostatic and hydrogen-bonding interactions. The results highlight the potential of ZIF-67/PVA nanofibers for water treatment, emphasizing their effectiveness, regeneration capability, and suitability for sustainable remediation applications.","PeriodicalId":7078,"journal":{"name":"ACS Es&t Water","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142254035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the evolutionary mechanism of the water supply system in the receiving area under the impact of water diversion projects remains unclear. The theory of dissipative structures is utilized in this study to analyze the entropy flow of the water supply system in the receiving area. An entropy flow measurement index system is constructed, and the transformed Brussels model is combined to determine the evolutionary direction of the water supply system under the influence of the water diversion project. Taking Zhengzhou City as an example, the results show that after the South-to-North Water Transfer Project commenced operation, the evolutionary value increased from 0.048 to 0.199, indicating that the system is evolving toward a dissipative structure. In contrast, without the South-to-North Water Transfer Project, the evolutionary value decreased from −0.850 to −1.045, indicating that the system is evolving toward a nondissipative structure. Upon further discussion, it was found that the South-to-North Water Transfer enhanced the negative entropy of environmental management in Zhengzhou’s water supply system, reduced the positive entropy of the water supply mode, and steered the system toward sustainable and healthy evolution.","PeriodicalId":7078,"journal":{"name":"ACS Es&t Water","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142253991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the sustainable provision of nitrite remains a crucial challenge. This study aimed to assess a promising alternative to existing partial nitrification- and heterotrophic partial denitrification (PDN)-based Anammox processes by substituting the nitrite supply with autotrophic sulfur-driven PDN. After 200 days, the desirable nitrogen removal efficiency of 96.1% was obtained in the S-PDN coupling Anammox process (S-PDN/A) with a high-quality effluent total nitrogen of 3.1 mg N/L. Additional experiments identified S-PDN/A as a stepwise reaction with generated S0 as an intermediate. Initially, S2– was oxidized to S0 [21.2 mg of S/(g of SS·h)], coupled with ultrafast denitrification [NO3– → N2, 3.9 mg of N/(g of SS·h)]. Subsequently, S0 served as an electron donor for S-PDN (NO3– → NO2–), efficiently facilitating Anammox as the dominant nitrogen removal pathway contributing up to 71.0% with a reaction rate of 1.7 mg N/(g SS·h). Distinct from reported prevalence of Candidatus brocadia in the Anammox technology for low-strength wastewater treatment, Candidatus kuenenia (0.12% → 3.4%) unexpectedly triumphed due to unique ecological niche provided by S-PDN. S-PDN/A offers fresh insights into Anammox application, enabling a potential reduction of up to 100% in organics demand, 43.0% savings in aeration energy consumption, and 69.9% decrease in biomass generation when compared to conventional bioprocesses.","PeriodicalId":7078,"journal":{"name":"ACS Es&t Water","volume":"26 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142254042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose a simple yet highly efficient system based on iron electrocoagulation (Fe-EC) for simultaneous magnetite production and Se removal. The in situ-generated reductants [Fe(II)] and adsorbents (magnetite) led to Se removal (201 mg L–1 h–1) significantly outperforming ex situ magnetite adsorption (29.2 mg L–1 h–1). Selenite was rapidly adsorbed by iron (hydr)oxides and reduced to less toxic Se0, alleviating the risk of Se re-release from Se-laden solids. Se can be efficiently removed by 4 min Fe electrolysis at 0.11 A followed by an 11 min stirring, affording 84% removal efficiency under oxic conditions and 90% under anoxic conditions. Se removal continued during settling, reaching >99% after 24 h. Likewise, selenate could also be efficiently removed. In addition, the inhibitory effects of coexisting sulfate and bicarbonate were eliminated by adjusting the pH, current intensity, and dissolved oxygen concentration. Moreover, the practicality was verified in two types of simulated wastewater, managing Se removal from 600 to ≤3 μg L–1 at an energy consumption of 0.66–1 kWh m–3. Meanwhile, the produced particles were black solids with magnetic properties, which can be easily harvested from treated water by magnetic separation, overcoming the drawbacks of conventional (electrochemical) coagulation. This study provides new insights for developing a robust Fe-EC system for Se-laden wastewater treatment.","PeriodicalId":7078,"journal":{"name":"ACS Es&t Water","volume":"201 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142254037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines the water-based livelihood system and how it has been affected by increased development pressure and climate change. In answering this question, the study undertakes the reviews of literature and the case studies of livelihoods in Tonle Sap Lake (TSL). It concludes that the flood pulse of TSL shapes three categories of communities and their livelihoods and assets. Hydropower operations and climate change have altered the flows, volumes, inundation, productivity, and livelihoods. The structures and processes at national, regional, and global levels have influenced the livelihoods and governance of TSL. Further, the regional development programs and cooperation frameworks have impacted the structures and processes, the hydrological regimes, and the livelihoods of local people.

Thirteen sites within an urban catchment were sampled utilizing a time-of-travel sampling approach to minimize the influence of subdaily fluctuations in mass from PFAS point sources and to quantify PFAS and ancillary chemical loads from various PFAS sources. A larger increase in perfluoroalkyl sulfonate (PFSA) loads (8 to 11 μg/s, up to 618%) than in perfluoroalkyl carboxylate (PFCA) loads (no change to 3.4 μg/s, up to 122%) was observed at sites below tributaries influenced by military bases with known groundwater discharge. Point discharges from two sewage treatment plants (STPs) resulted in increases in PFCA and PFSA loads that were similar (6 and 10 μg/s respectively) below the first STP and greater for PFCA compared to PFSA loads (23 and 13 μg/s respectively) below the second STP. Overall, percent increases in total PFAS load ranged from 20 to 277% for military base inputs and 44 to 77% for STP inputs. A focus catchment that represents only 14% (76.9 km2) of the drainage area at the most downstream site (544 km2) accounted for about 70% of PFSA and 40% of PFCA loads observed at the most downstream site.
