Built environment and sustainability. Recycled materials and Design for Disassembly between research and good practices by Cesare Sposito, Francesca Scalisi

“…In the context of environmental emergency of which the construction sector is one of the main causes – since it consumes 40% of the (embodied and operational) energy and produces about a third of the total waste – and due to the ambitious objectives set by the international community and by many countries to reduce the environmental impact of buildings during their whole life cycle, this paper wants to make a contribution to the understanding of the state of the art on cycle-based research activities, sustainable experiments and good practices that the building industry and the academy have implemented in recent years.  …”

Studies of the Selective Removal of Micro-Quantities of Platinum(IV) Ions from Macro-Quantities of Model Solutions of Aluminium, Copper, Iron, Nickel and Zinc Chloride on Anion-Exc... by Z. Hubicki, G. Wójcik

“…Platinum has been widely applied as an industrial catalyst and consequently the recovery of noble metals from industrial wastes has become an economic issue. In the present studies, laboratory tests were undertaken to examine the selective removal of micro-quantities of platinum(IV) from 1 M solutions of aluminium, copper, iron, nickel and zinc chloride in 0.1 M hydrochloric acid using anion-exchangers containing tertiary amine group functions (Amberlite IRA-67 and Amberlite IRA-93) and polyamine group functions (Diaion CR-20). …”

Analysis of Distribution and Influencing Factors of Three-Nitrogen in Groundwater of the Liuxi River Basin by PANG Yuan, ZENG Hui, ZHANG Mingzhu, ZHUO Quanlong, GUO Zhengguo

“…Based on the monitoring data of 28 sampling points in the study area from 2012 to 2018,the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of groundwater three nitrogen in Liuxi River Basin were analyzed.The results showed that the mass concentrations of ammonia nitrogen,nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen in groundwater in the study area showed a downward trend with time,and the annual decreasing ranges were 0.220,0.120 and 0.001 mg/L,respectively;the mass concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen in the middle reaches were 1.1 and 1.6 times higher than those in the lower reaches,respectively;the average mass concentrations of ammonia nitrogen,nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen in bedrock fissure water were 3.2,0.1 and 0.7 times of that in loose rock pore water,respectively;the correlation degree of ammonia nitrogen and pesticide and fertilizer application was greater,the correlation degree of nitrate nitrogen and nitrite nitrogen and waste water discharge was greater;and three-nitrogen was affected by rainfall to a certain extent,but the correlation was poor;ammonia nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen were closely related to the redox condition and runoff condition of groundwater.…”
