This study presents a sustainably engineered lignin-based biocomposite reinforced with chitosan, designed for multifunctionality, enhanced material performance, and produced <em>via</em> a ‘green’ and simple one-pot synthesis in aqueous medium. The synthesized granular material, <em>i.e.</em> a zwitterionic lignin-chitosan composite (ZLC), was used for the removal of a wide range of chemically diverse contaminants. ZLC showed 80–90% removal of heavy metals such as Cr(<small>VI</small>), Cu(<small>II</small>), and four different cationic and anionic dyes. It was also tested against an array of five PFAS molecules, such as perfluorinated sulfonic and carboxylic acids, showing up to 86% removal for perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS). All adsorption processes followed the pseudo-second order and Langmuir models. The material also showed antifouling behavior, demonstrating robustness for real-time application. Lastly, ZLC was tested against effluent water matrices, <em>i.e.</em>, wastewater streams from mining areas located in Sweden. The multifunctional adsorption performance of the environment-friendly material, coupled with its ease of production, cost effectiveness, and reusability, indicates that ZLC has a high potential that can garner industrial interest for simplifying multi-step filtration processes.</p>","PeriodicalId":72941,"journal":{"name":"Environmental science.

Utilizing novel liquid chromatography tandem ion-mobility spectrometry and high-resolution mass spectrometry, the occurrence of more than 4000 LC-amenable organic micropollutants was investigated through wide-scope target and suspect screening. A total of 171 analytes were detected in marine samples, with pharmaceuticals identified as the most prevalent class (36% in seawater, 41% in sediments) followed by plant protection products (18% in seawater, 27% in sediments). Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were also detected in both matrices. Semi-polar ECs with higher molar mass were determined exclusively in sediments near WWTPs, possibly due to their high log <em>P</em> values, reflecting their affinity for particulate matter.

Risk assessment, based on risk quotient calculations and environmental quality standards (EQSs) set by EU legislation, revealed that PFASs exceeded annual average environmental quality standard values in 92% of seawater samples, whereas 20 ECs in seawater and 12 in sediments exceeded predicted no-effect concentrations (PNECs), indicating potential adverse effects on marine biota.</p>","PeriodicalId":72941,"journal":{"name":"Environmental science.

Untreated waste poses major environmental, economic, and societal challenges, especially affecting agriculture and industry. Addressing this crisis necessitates innovative waste management strategies and sustainable practices to mitigate the impending waste burden on ecosystems and societies worldwide. Recent advancements in biofuels and biochemicals intensified research into the conversion of biogenic waste into bio-carboxylic acid/volatile fatty acids (VFAs), driven by the dual imperatives of sustainable waste management and renewable resource development. This study presents a comparative analysis of three waste streams: cheese whey from the cheese-making industry, lignocellulosic brewery spent grains (BSG), and agricultural by-products like wheat straw (WS) assessing their efficacy in carboxylic acid production by mixed culture fermentation. Each substrate produced a diverse array of carboxylic acids, including acetic, propionic, butyric, valeric, iso-valeric, and caproic acids exhibiting unique fermentation efficiencies in carboxylic acid production. The experimental results reveal distinct fermentation efficiencies, the highest concentration of short-chain carboxylic acids (SCCA) production of 11.84 gCOD per L from CW, alongside a medium-chain carboxylic acid (MCCA) production of 3.95 gCOD per L. Notably, despite the lignocellulosic composition of the substrates, both BSG and WS demonstrated substantial and competitive yields of SCCA and MCCA. Specifically, BSG produced 10.68 gCOD per L of SCCA and 3.54 gCOD per L of MCCA, while WS yielded 11.51 gCOD per L of SCCA and 3.84 gCOD per L of MCCA. These findings highlight the viability of lignocellulosic substrates for carboxylic acid production, suggesting significant opportunities for enhancing bioprocessing strategies in biochemical and industrial applications. Taxonomic analysis of microbial communities showed a significant predominance of <em>Firmicutes</em>, <em>Bacteroidota</em>, and <em>Actinobacteriota</em>. The Clostridiaceae family exhibited dominance across all reactors, with respective abundances of 82.72%, 27.67%, and 61.29%. The BSG uniquely showcased an enrichment of <em>Lactobacillaceae</em> (23.86%), <em>Ruminococcaceae</em> (7.72%), and <em>Prevotellaceae</em> (3.24%). Key genera contributing to carboxylic acid production included <em>Clostridium sensu stricto 1</em>, <em>Romboutsia</em>, and <em>Enterococcus</em>.

Ten polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), 23 alternative halogenated flame retardants (AHFRs), and 16 organophosphate esters (OPEs) were analyzed in dust from 12–16 locations per ship.

This study provides the first spatiotemporal assessment of REE distribution in the PSRB, investigating total (TC), 0.45 µm filtered (FC), and labile (LC) concentrations in surface waters along seven distinct sites in São José dos Campos city during both wet and dry seasons. Labile concentrations were determined using passive samplers <em>via</em> the diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique. Sum of TC (∑TCREE) ranged from 4.8 to 24 ng mL<small>⁻¹</small>, depending on the site and campaign. Sum of FC (∑FCREE) were higher than those reported for other Brazilian and pristine global rivers (ranged from 2.3 to 20 ng mL<small>⁻¹</small>) also depending on site and campaign. Maximum sum of LC (∑LCREE) was lower than 1.3 ng mL<small>⁻¹</small>. The high ∑FCREE/∑TCREE ratio observed (mean value of approximately 60% for both the wet and dry campaigns), combined with the low ∑LCREE/∑TCREE ratio (mean values of around 8% in the wet season and about 3% in the dry season), suggests that a substantial portion of REE is associated with particulate matter rather than being in labile complexes or truly dissolved form. While the FC showed limited seasonal variability, DGT results revealed a strong positive correlation between REE atomic number and lability during the dry season (<em>r</em> = 0.91). This trend was not observed in the wet season, likely due to increased hydrological variability, colloidal mobilisation, and complexation with dissolved organic carbon (DOC). The transport of REE in the PSRB was strongly influenced by colloids and the presence of Fe, Mn, and Si, particularly affecting light REE. The integration of DGT concentrations with equilibrium-based chemical speciation modelling enabled a more comprehensive assessment of REE speciation in the PSRB. Positive La, Gd, and Yb anomalies at polluted sites indicate anthropogenic inputs, with La and Gd as potential emerging contaminants.
