The common traditional method of AMD management is its environmentally unfriendly disposal, which often results in environmental pollution. Therefore, in this review, a quantitative, qualitative, bibliometric and systematic approach to examining experimental and peer-reviewed articles on AMD wastewater generation, properties, common pollutants, and treatment methods was conducted. Moreover, this review assesses the present remediation techniques implemented in AMD management. Finally, the most current challenges and future outlook on AMD treatment are highlighted, and valuable insights as well as recommendations are provided for actions that need to be taken to improve present AMD wastewater management, treatment, reutilization, and resource sustainability efforts.</p>","PeriodicalId":72941,"journal":{"name":"Environmental science.

Surprisingly, hydrophilic poly(ethylene oxide)-based diols and triols, when blended with approximately 20% glycerol, yielded coatings with improved crosslink density and moderated curing kinetics. Notably, glycerol inclusion did not enhance P700 performance, but its combination with poly(ethylene oxide)-based diol resulted in a synergistic improvement in release control for the coating formulations. These hydrophilic blended systems not only achieved excellent controlled-release behavior but also outperformed the hydrophobic P700-based coatings.

Here we report the characterization of Zn-, Pb-, and Cd-containing NPs by single-particle inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (spICP-MS) in snow samples collected from two vastly different sites in Canada: an urban environment from Winnipeg and a remote location at the Müller Ice Cap in Axel Heiberg Island of the Canadian Arctic. Average mass concentrations of Zn-, Pb-, and Cd-containing NPs in fresh snow samples from the urban location ranged from 0.7–149, 1.5–296 and 0.2–1.6 ng L<small>⁻¹</small>, respectively. These concentrations accounted for 0.05–17% of total dissolved (operationally defined as the fraction filtered by a 0.45 µm membrane) concentrations of Zn, 0.2–31.5% of Pb, and 0.05–2.2% of Cd for Cd in the urban snow samples.

This integrated approach could reduce monitoring uncertainties to approximately 15–25%, enabling farm-level benchmarking and independent verification of mitigation actions.

However, in the northern coastal area of Java Island, mangrove ecosystems have experienced significant degradation under pressure from anthropogenic activities. This study aims to analyze and classify the primary anthropogenic factors contributing to the degradation of mangrove ecosystems in the northern coastal area of Java, based on the latest available studies. The method employed is a scoping review, guided by the PRISMA-ScR framework. The data were collected from various national and international databases, including Scopus, DOAJ, EBSCO, Garuda, and Google Scholar, covering publications from January 2010 to April 2025. From the literature selection process, 44 scientific articles met the inclusion criteria and were analysed qualitatively. The study's results showed that mangrove degradation occurred in 18 districts/cities on the north coast of Java, with the highest levels of damage in metropolitan areas such as Jakarta, Semarang, and Surabaya. The primary factors contributing to degradation include converting land into ponds, industrial and residential development, coastal reclamation, pollution from industrial and domestic waste, illegal logging, and the expansion of coastal infrastructure. This combination of pressures has resulted in the loss of approximately 70% of Java's native mangrove forests over the last three decades. Recommended mitigation efforts include implementing sustainable aquaculture systems (silvofishery), developing buffer zones and green infrastructure, and adopting the Building with Nature (BwN) approach to nature-based restoration. Additionally, community-based ecological mangrove restoration (CBEMR) needs to be strengthened to enhance local participation.

However, the mechanistic interplay between polymer density-driven stratification and niche-specific microbial adaptation remains unexplored. This study presents the first integrated metagenomic investigation linking density-mediated plastic segregation to depth-stratified microbial community assembly and metabolic functionality in a tropical open dumpsite. Depth profiling revealed that low-density polyethylene dominated the layers closer to the surface, whereas polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate were concentrated in the bottom layers. A stratification pattern was subsequently detected in adjacent soil microplastic profiles, indicating density-dependent dispersal mechanisms. Metagenomic sequencing revealed distinct microbial niches aligned with plastic layers: surface zones favoured aerobic <em>Proteobacteria</em> and <em>Actinobacteria</em>, whereas anoxic depths enriched anaerobic taxa and pathways for methane metabolism, alternative carbon fixation, and dissimilatory processes. These findings highlight plastic density as an important driver of vertical microplastic migration and indigenous microbial community structuring, informing predictive modelling of contamination risk trajectories and the design of depth-targeted bioremediation strategies using adapted native consortia.

By weight, copper represents the main metallic fraction of PCBs. Thus, the selective removal and recovery of high-purity copper is crucial for efficient recycling, in addition to the extraction of minor, precious metal components, such as gold, silver, and palladium. This paper presents an integrated study of detailed characterization, process development, and the environmental impact of copper recycling from virgin PCBs using hydrometallurgical approaches – rather than the well-established pyrometallurgical route. Thorough mineral liberation analysis helped us understand specific processing and metallurgical approaches based on the accessibility of the target metal phases. Near quantitative copper leaching was achieved with H<small>₂</small>SO<small>₄</small>/H<small>₂</small>O<small>₂</small> and HNO<small>₃</small>, whereas heterotrophic bioleaching with citric acid and polyglutamic acid resulted in &lt;13% of copper leaching. In a two-stage process, &gt;98% of the leached copper was selectively transferred to the organic phase by solvent extraction with a LIX 84-I-kerosene/CuSO<small>₄</small>–H<small>₂</small>SO<small>₄</small> system. With the exception of Ni<small>²⁺</small>, co-extraction of further metal ions was not detected. Subsequently, up to 98% of the copper was recovered from the organic phase <em>via</em> stripping with a model electrolyte containing copper(<small>II</small>) sulfate in H<small>₂</small>SO<small>₄</small>. From the enriched electrolyte solutions, metallic copper with a purity of 99.64–99.84% was electrodeposited on a stainless steel cathode, with a current efficiency of 98.66–99.85%.

According to life cycle assessment, based on the energy and chemical consumption of the copper recycling process, the global warming potential of the tested approaches lies in the range 13.0 kg CO<small>₂</small> eq. per (kg Cu) – 40.3 kg CO<small>₂</small> eq. per (kg Cu).
