Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated a growing global interest in utilising agricultural waste to remediate wastewater. This stems from growing apprehensions about high levels of heavy metals, especially Pb2+ ions, in wastewater produced by industrial processes such as mining, paint production, oil refining, smelting, and electroplating. This study examined apple pomace's Pb2+ ions adsorption from wastewater. Response Surface Methodology... More

Abstract: Rural communities in developing countries often struggle with resource dependency, economic challenges, and poor infrastructure, and villages in Uttarakhand, India, are no exception. This study aims to examine the socioeconomic factors influencing forest conservation, assess livelihood dependency on forest resources, and evaluate how socioeconomic status shapes sustainable forest management in Shishambara and Buddhi villages in Dehradun....

Abstract: In March 2022, Winrock International released the Carbon Assessment of the Everglades Agricultural Area (EAA) in collaboration with the Everglades Foundation. The report estimated annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from sugarcane production in the EAA at 7.36 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalents (t CO2e), attributing emissions primarily to peat oxidation, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), cultivation...

Abstract: Numerical thermodynamic models are proposed for the quaternary fluid system H2O-CO2-NaCl-CaCl2 and its ternary subsystems H2O-NaCl-CaCl2, H2O-CO2-NaCl, and H2O-CO2-CaCl2. The models are valid for temperatures from 150 °C to 350 °C, pressures from 0.2 to 1.4 kbar, and for arbitrary concentrations of salts. The latter feature is inherited from the earlier developed models of binary systems... More

Abstract: The global palm oil industry continues to face persistent negative campaigns, often framed around environmental degradation, human rights concerns, and sustainability failures. Despite various corrective efforts, such as Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) certification and deforestation-free commitments, these narratives remain dominant, particularly in Western consumer markets. This study was conducted to examine how the... More
