Occurrence of Vanadium in Belgian and European Alluvial Soils by V. Cappuyns, E. Slabbinck

“…By analysis of both the Belgian and European data, the relationship between physicochemical soil characteristics and total V concentrations was quantified and some areas polluted with V were detected. A regression equation, in which V concentrations in alluvial soils were expressed as a function of major element composition, was proposed for the Belgian and European data. …”

DETERMINATION OF WATER QUALITY IN SPRINGS OF EKATERINBURG CITY AND SVERDLOVSK OBLAST by Vladimir S. Semenishchev, Svetlana M. Titova, Anna V. Voronina

“…We determined that water in only 7 springs (22%) fully met the requirements of sanitary norms from the point of view of content of chemical and radioactive pollutants. In 17 cases, water did not meet the requirements of the norms for the chemical factor, in 4 cases – for the radiation factor, and in 3 cases – for both the chemical and radiation factors. …”

The Use of Clay-Polymer Nanocomposites in Wastewater Pretreatment by Giora Rytwo

“…Clay-based materials have been widely used for effluent pretreatment and pollutant removal. This study presents the use of nanocomposites, comprised of an anchoring particle and a polymer, as “coagoflocculants” for the efficient and rapid reduction of TSS and turbidity in wastewater with a high organic load. …”

Study on Advanced Treatment of Coking Wastewater by Fenton Process Improved With Coagulation-Response Surface Method by XU Weidong, ZHANG Fakui, LI Jie, WANG Yae, ZHENG Xuejun, DUAN Nan

“…After biochemical treatment of coking wastewater,the organic matter is difficult to reduce further.In order to meet the emission requirements,the effluent shall be subjected to an advanced treatment to reduce its organic matter.This paper treats the coking wastewater by the combined coagulation-Fenton method.The results show that:When the influent COD is 250~400 mg/L,the optimal coagulation conditions are as follows:coagulant PFS dosage:800 mg/L;pH:8;CPAM dosage:0 mg/L;and stirring time:15 min.The optimal conditions of Fenton are as below:Fe²⁺ dosage:302.38 mg/l;n(Fe²⁺)∶n(H₂O₂):1.00∶6.84;initial pH:3.84;reaction time:125.84 min.After the advanced treatment by coagulation-Fenton oxidation,the organic matter concentration decreases from 250~400 mg/L to 60 mg/L or below,and the effluent meets the Emission Standard of Pollutants for Coking Chemical Industry (GB 16171—2012).…”

Nature Capital. An ecological transition and open space transformation phenomena by Renzo Lecardane

“… As indicated by the UN 2030 Agenda and the new European goals for 2030, Ecological Transition is at the basis of the new development model to reduce polluting emissions, prevent and combat land disruption, minimise the impact of productive activities on the environment and improve the quality of life and environmental security for future generations: on the one hand, orienting an ecological transition towards equity and collective well-being means rethinking the system of relations between man and the natural and built environment and, on the other hand, referring to the construction of social and cultural communities starting from environmental issues and land resources. …”
