Circular Economy in Industrial Design Research: A Review

In the past decades, industrial design practice and research have focused extensively on how to optimize production and consumption, as a way to prevent negative environmental impacts, such as resource depletion, pollution, and excessive wa...

Nanotechnology and the environment: A European perspective

The potential positive and negative effects of nanotechnology on the environment are discussed. Advances in nanotechnology may be able to provide more sensitive detection systems for air and water quality monitoring, allowing the simultaneo...

Drivers of municipal waste generation in Nordic countries: panel evidence

Municipal waste generation remains a persistent sustainability challenge, even in countries with strong environmental governance and circular economy ambitions. Yet it remains unclear how affluence, household final consumption expenditure a...

Seasonal monopolization of small carrion by a scarab beetle in terra firme Amazonian rainforests

Abstract Small vertebrate carcasses represent an abundant resource in tropical rainforests, where scavengers play a key role in nutrient recycling, enhancing productivity in nutrient-poor habitats such as Amazonian terra firme forests. Howe...

Anticancer, antioxidant and antibacterial potential of L-Glutaminase (Streptomyces roseolus strain ZKB1) capped silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles and its molecular characterization

Abstract The current investigation reports anti-cancer, antioxidant and antibacterial potential of L-Glutaminase (Streptomyces roseolus strain ZKB1) and L-Glutaminase capped nanoparticles. The highest L-Glutaminase production of 9.57 U/mL w...

Hornification in Commercial Chemical Pulps: Dependence on Water Removal and Hornification Mechanisms

Understanding cellulose hornification provides crucial information regarding drying of pulp, paper, and other cellulosic materials as well as recycling them. By measuring drainage, fiber width, and water retention value of hardwood and soft...

Leaching and recycling of NdFeB permanent magnets using ionic non-toxic hydrotropes instead of extractants

We show hereby that recycling of NdFeB permanent magnets by selective leaching and precipitation is possible, using an electrolyte as hydrotrope, thus avoiding the need of any specific extractant molecules. We analyse the yield of the extra...

Reusing Effluent Water in Drainage Ditches for Irrigation in Hilly Regions

【Objective】 Most hilly regions in China are short of freshwater resources and recycling the effluent water in their drainage ditches is a way to relieve this pressure and improve water use efficiency. This paper investigates how reusing the...

Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation Activity of BiFeO3 Microspheres by Decoration with g-C3N4 Nanoparticles

In this work, the g-C3N4 nanoparticles decorated BiFeO3 microspheres composites (g-C3N4/BiFeO3) were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal treatment of g-C3N4 nanoparticles together with BiFeO3 microspheres. The SEM and HRTEM observation...
