In order to enhance the using efficiency of the adsorbent and decrease production costs, reclaimed saturation Lanthanum modified pine needles (LH pine needles) have been studied as a possible solution. Pine needles gathered from the woods of Northeast China area were used as raw material for generating LH pine needles by alkali-isopropanol treatment and chemical precipitation. To explore the utilization of LH pine needles as a recycling adsorbent in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and laboratory water distribution. Results show that removal effective of phosphorus (P) by LH pine needles in low concentration reclaimed water of WWTPs was 41% and up to more than 92% in its adding standard. In the wide pH range, LH pine has an effective adsorption capacity for phosphorus; pH can also interfere with the adsorption capacity of LH pine as there is a negative correlation between them. The adsorption of phosphorus by LH pine needles is divided into three stages with a pH ranging from 3~11. Ligand exchange reaction, electrostatic reaction and Lewis acid reaction are PO43− adsorption mechanism. The analysis of the recycling efficiency of LH pine needles proved that LH pine needles have good regeneration performance. After being eluted by NaOH regeneration agent for more than 10 times, the adsorption efficiency of phosphorus can still be stable at over 90% in seven cycles.

Abstract Using waste pomelo peel as raw material, pomelo peel-based biochar (BC) was prepared by pyrolysis at 400 °C, and the pomelo peel-based biochar was prepared by loading γ-Fe2O3 onto the surface of the pomelo peel-based biochar by unlimited oxygen chemical precipitation. The results showed that the pomelo peel biochar loaded with γ-Fe2O3 had higher specific surface area and larger pore volume. The load of γ-Fe2O3 gives γ-Fe2O3@BC excellent magnetic separation ability, and its magnetic saturation intensity is as high as 30.60 emu/g. BC and γ-Fe2O3@BC were applied to remove norfloxacin (NOR) from a water body. It was found that the adsorption of NOR by both of them followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption isotherm mainly conforms to the Sips model, and the adsorption process of NOR is a spontaneous endothermic reaction. The pH and ionic strength have a great influence on the adsorption of NOR by BC and γ-Fe2O3@BC, and they play a role mainly by influencing the morphology of NOR in water. The adsorption mechanism showed that cation exchange and hydrogen bonding were the main forces for BC to adsorb NOR. Moreover, the γ-Fe2O3 particles enhanced the hydrophobicity of the pomelo peel-based biochar, making the hydrophobicity become the main force for the adsorption of NOR by the γ-Fe2O3@BC. The adsorption–desorption experiment showed that after four cycles of recycling, the adsorption capacity of γ-Fe2O3@BC for NOR was still up to 61.43% of the initial adsorption capacity, and it had a good recycling property.

In the mountainous canton Grisons, much visited by tourists, the forest has always had an important role to play. New challenges are now presenting themselves. The article goes more closely into two themes on the Grisons forestry agenda dominating in the next few years: the increased use of timber and climate change. With the increased demand for logs and the new sawmill in Domat/Ems new opportunities are offered to the canton for more intensive use of the raw material, wood. This depends on a reduction in production costs and a positive attitude of the population towards the greater use of wood. A series of measures from the Grisons Forestry Department should be of help here. The risk of damage to infrastructure is particularly high in a mountainous canton. The cantonal government of the Grisons has commissioned the Forestry Department to define the situation concerning the possible consequences of global warming on natural hazards and to propose measures which may be taken. The setting up of extensive measurement and information systems, the elaboration of intervention maps, the estimation of the danger potential in exposed areas outside the building zone and the maintenance of existing protective constructions through the creation of a protective constructions register, all form part of the government programme for 2009 to 2012. In the Grisons, forest owners and visitors will have to become accustomed to the fact that their forests must again produce more wood and that, on account of global warming, protective forests will become even more important than they already are today.

White Sugar

The bought sugar in the processed raw material (either beet or cane) comprises a high financial value and may contribute to somewhere around 50% of the white sugar production costs. It is therefore of the utmost importance to minimize sugar losses along the process and produce as much white sugar as possible from the raw material. This paper explains the principle of technical accounting as tool to control sugar extraction and losses in beet sugar manufacture. The sugar mass balance used to calculate the overall sugar extraction yield, as well as several simple calculations proposed for estimating the different sugar losses (like e.g. extraction (diffusion) losses, infection losses, sugar losses in molasses, etc.) in the subsequent process steps will be explained in detail. Proper technical accounting is considered indispensable for continuous process control and process improvement in pursuit of best-practice operation and cost-leadership.

AbstractHigh-consistency processing of fibrillated cellulose materials is attractive for commercial applications due to potential for lowered production costs, energy savings and easier logistics. The current work investigated structure–property relationships of fibrillated cellulose suspensions produced at 20% consistency using VTT HefCel (High-consistency enzymatic fibrillation of cellulose) technology. Morphological examination of the fibrillated materials revealed that enzymatic action on the cellulose substrates was not a direct function of enzyme dosage but rather was dependent on the raw material composition. Furthermore, shear viscosity of the HefCel suspensions was found to decrease with increasing enzyme dosage while the water retention increased. The shear viscosity followed power law relationship with the power law index varying in the range 0.11–0.73. The shear-thinning behavior decreased with increasing consistency. Moreover, suspension viscosity ($$\upmu$$ μ ) was found to be highly dependent on the consistency ($$\mathrm{c})$$ c ) as $$\upmu \sim {\mathrm{c}}^{\mathrm{m}}$$ μ ∼ c m , with $$\mathrm{m}$$ m ranging from 2.75 to 4.31 for different samples. Yield stress (τy) of the HefCel suspensions was measured at 7 and 10% consistencies. The performance of the fibrillated cellulose grades in a typical application was demonstrated by casting films, which were characterized for their mechanical properties. Graphic abstract

In this study, the hydrated sodium aluminosilicate material was synthesized by one-step hydrothermal alkaline desilication using fly ash (FA) as raw material. The synthesized materials were characterized by XRD, XRF, FT-IR and SEM. The characterization results showed that the alkali-soluble desilication successfully had synthesized the sodium aluminosilicate crystalline (N-A-S-H) phase of sodalite-type (SOD), and the modified material had good ionic affinity and adsorption capacity. In order to figure out the suitability of SOD as an adsorbent for the removal of ammonium and phosphorus from wastewater, the effects of material dosing, contact time, ambient pH and initial solute concentration on the simultaneous removal of ammonium and phosphorus are investigated by intermittent adsorption tests. Under the optimal adsorption conditions, the removal rate of ammonium was 73.3%, the removal rate of phosphate was 85.8% and the unit adsorption capacity reached 9.15 mg/L and 2.14 mg/L, respectively. Adsorption kinetic studies showed that the adsorption of ammonium and phosphorus by SOD was consistent with a quasi-secondary kinetic model. The adsorption isotherm analysis showed that the equilibrium data were in good agreement with the Langmuir and Freundlich model. According to thermodynamic calculations, the adsorption of ammonium and phosphorus was found to be a heat-absorbing and spontaneous process. Therefore, the preparation of SOD by modified FA has good adsorption properties as adsorbent and has excellent potential for application in the removal of contaminants from wastewater.

As Earth’s fossil energy resources are limited, there is a growing need for renewable resources such as biodiesel. That is the reason why the social, economic and environmental impacts of biofuels became an important research topic in the last decade. Depleted stocks of crude oil and the significant level of environmental pollution encourage researchers and professionals to seek and find solutions. The study aims to analyze the economic and sustainability issues of biodiesel production by a systematic literature review. During this process, 53 relevant studies were analyzed out of 13,069 identified articles. Every study agrees that there are several concerns about the first-generation technology; however, further generations cannot be price-competitive at this moment due to the immature technology and high production costs. However, there are promising alternatives, such as wastewater-based microalgae with up to 70% oil content, fat, oils and grease (FOG), when production cost is below 799 USD/gallon, and municipal solid waste-volatile fatty acids technology, where the raw material is free. Proper management of the co-products (mainly glycerol) is essential, especially at the currently low petroleum prices (0.29 USD/L), which can only be handled by the biorefineries. Sustainability is sometimes translated as cost efficiency, but the complex interpretation is becoming more common. Common elements of sustainability are environmental and social, as well as economic, issues.
