Limitations of standalone MD and crystallization are discussed to underline the evolution of MDCr. In this review, MDCr’s ability and feasibility in the treatment of industrial wastewater are highlighted. This manuscript also examines the operational issues, including crystal deposition (scaling) on the membrane surface, pore wetting phenomenon and economic consequences (energy use and operating costs). Finally, opportunities and future prospects of the MDCr technology are discussed. MDCr technology can amplify natural resources availability by recovering freshwater and useful minerals from the waste stream, thus compensating for the relatively high cost of the technology.Flowback water from shale gas operations contains formation-derived compounds, including trace metals, radionuclides, and organics. While accidental releases from storage tanks with flowback water are low-probability events if multiple containment barriers are put in place, they cannot be entirely excluded. Here the natural attenuation potential of deep unsaturated zones and groundwater was explored using predictive modelling involving a hypothetical leak from a storage tank. Actual chemical concentrations from flowback water at two shale gas wells with contrasting salinity (12,300 and 105,000 ppm TDS) in the Beetaloo Sub-basin (Northern Territory, Australia) served as input to the one-dimensional HYDRUS model for simulating chemical transport through the unsaturated zone, with groundwater at 50 and 100 m depth, respectively. Subsequent chemical transport in groundwater involved the use of a three-dimensional analytical transport model. For a total of 63 chemicals the long-term attenuation from dilution and dhemical mixtures. Improved understanding of fate and transport of flowback chemicals will help effectively manage water-quality risks associated with shale gas extraction.Thousands of organic pollutants are intentionally and unintentionally discharged into water bodies, adversely affecting the ecological environment and human health. Screening for organic pollutants that pose a potential risk in aquatic environments is essential for risk management. This review evaluates the processes, methods, and technologies used to screen such pollutants in the aquatic environment and discuss their advantages and disadvantages, in addition to the challenges and knowledge gaps in this field. Combining non-target screening, target screening, and suspect screening is often effective for compiling a list of potential risk compounds and enables the quantitative analysis of these compounds. Sample preparation technologies and pollutant detection technologies considerably affect the results of pollutant screening. The limited amount of chemical and toxicological information contained in databases hinders the screening of organic pollutants with potential risk. Machine learning, high-throughput methods, and other technologies will increase the accuracy and convenience of screening for high-risk pollutants. This review provides an important reference for screening these compounds in aquatic environments and can be used in future pollutant screening and risk management.Reports of vibriosis and other related gastrointestinal infections have remained a recurring concern in the diverse global continent. The safety of drinking surface water and associated environmental pollution has remained a public health concern in limited resource sittings. Seen in this light, we report the antibiogram signatures of Vibrio species recovered from surface waters in the South-Western districts of Uganda. Surface water samples were collected for four months for Vibrio species isolation in four districts (Bushenyi-B, Mitooma-M, Rubirizi-R, and Sheema-S) using bacteria culture procedures, disc diffusion and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technique. Isolates were characterised, and the antibiotic fingerprints were determined using PCR and nine selected antibiotics in routine use. A total of 392 Vibrio species were confirmed from the various districts (B 172, M 79. R 60, S 81), with 163 (94.77%) resistant to colistin (polymixin), 145 (84.3%) resistant to cefotaxime, 127 (73.84%) resistant to azithlocal and international levels.Rapid composting by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) may be insufficient to maturation and humification of composting and further composting is necessary. The purpose of this study was to explore cornstalk addition on toxic metals (Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd), toxic metals resistance bacterial (TMRB) destiny and their relationship with physicochemical factors during BSFL manure composting. High-throughput sequencing was performed by six treatments, namely T1 to T6, where T1 to T3 were BSFL manures from chicken, pig and dairy manure, respectively, and T4 to T6 were same manures and utilized cornstalk to adjust C/N to 25. The results showed that cornstalk amendment could enhance the toxic metals immobilization rate compared to control treatments in the ultimate product. TMRB indicated that the major potential hosts bacteria were Firmicutes, Bacteroidota, Proteobacteria, Acidobacteriota and Actinobacteriota, and the sum relative abundance were 63.33%, 90.62%, 83.62%, 69.38%, 50.66% and 90.52% in T1 to T6 at the end of composting. Bacteria diversity and heat map revealed composting micro-ecology with additive cornstalk to remarkably effect main resistant bacterial distribution via adjusting environmental factors and potential hosts bacterial. Finally, T5 treatment was able to greatly decrease the TMRB abundance, and improve the ability of composting and ultimate product quality.Microplastic (MP) contamination has been reported to be higher in terrestrial compared to aquatic environments. This is probably due to the fact that plastic items are mostly produced and used in terrestrial environments and have a longer residence time. However, there are several links between the terrestrial and aquatic environments. We analyzed drainage water samples from agricultural soils in the Seeland, a heavily drained agriculturally intensive area in Switzerland for its MP (>100 μm) concentration and composition. We found MP in relevant numbers (mean 10.5 ± 9.5 N L-1). The polymers were mainly PA and PE, and the size distribution showed an exponential increase with decreasing particle size. The results show considerable MP concentrations in drainage water and imply a transport of MP in soils down to the drainage pipes. Given the large areas drained both in Switzerland and globally, it is proposed that MP leaching from soil can be a significant source of MP to aquatic ecosystems. Such a contribution should be considered when dealing with MP cycling on a local to global scale.Pharmaceuticals as ubiquitous organic pollutants in the aquatic environment represent substances whose knowledge of environmental fate is still limited. One such compound is metoclopramide, whose direct and indirect photolysis and toxicological assessment have been studied for the first time in this study. Experiments were performed under solar radiation, showing metoclopramide as a compound that can easily degrade in different water matrices. The effect of pH-values showed the faster degradation at pH = 7, while the highly alkaline conditions at pH = 11 slowed photolysis. The highest value of quantum yield of metoclopramide photodegradation (ϕ = 43.55·10-4) was obtained at pH = 7. Various organic and inorganic substances (NO3-, Fe(III), HA, Cl-, Br-, HCO3-, SO42-), commonly present in natural water, inhibited the degradation by absorbing light. In all experiments, kinetics followed pseudo-first-order reaction with r2 greater than 0.98. The structures of the photolytic degradation products were tentatively identified, and degradation photoproducts were proposed. The hydroxylation of the aromatic ring and the amino group’s dealkylation were two major photoproduct formation mechanisms. Calculated thermochemical quantities are in agreement with the experimentally observed stability of different photoproducts. Reactive sites in metoclopramide were studied with conceptual density functional theory and regions most susceptible to •OH attack were characterized. Metoclopramide and its degradation products were neither genotoxic for bacteria Salmonella typhimurium in the SOS/umuC assay nor acutely toxic for bacteria Vibrio fischeri.Water was the source of life, in order to solve the serious water pollution problem facing the world, researchers have proposed many solutions. Among them, photoelectric catalytic technology based on semiconductor materials was an ideal and sustainable solution. Herein, by combining successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) with sol-gel electrospinning two strategies, a novel S-scheme heterojunction based on flexible and hierarchical BiOI/TiO2 nanofibrous membranes (BiOI/TiO2 NFM) was fabricated. The degradation rates of tetracycline (TC) and Rhodamine B (RHB) were 98.7% and 95.6%, respectively, under visible light irradiation. The main reason, except for the benefits offered by the hierarchical nanofiber structure, such as the large surface area, tightly connected interfaces and more exposed active sites, other advantages derived from photogenerated carrier transfer and superior redox ability were also momentous. To reveal the formed S-scheme heterojunction, a variety of test methods were used to characterize and test. These studies showed a significant increase in charge separation efficiency in the BiOI/TiO2 NFM, and the charge transport of S-scheme heterojunction was demonstrated. This study may offer new design ideas for the design and construction of novel structures of S-scheme heterojunctions.1,4-Dioxane (DX) is a synthetic chemical used as a stabilizer for industrial solvents. Recent occurrence data show widespread and significant contamination of drinking water with DX in the US. DX is classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a group 2B carcinogen with the primary target organ being the liver in animal studies. Despite the exposure and cancer risk, US EPA has not established a drinking water Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) for DX and a wide range of drinking water targets have been established across the US and by Health Canada. The DX carcinogenic mechanism remains unknown; this information gap contributes to the varied approaches to its regulation. Our recent mice study indicated alterations in oxidative stress response accompanying DNA damage as an early change by high dose DX (5000 ppm) in drinking water. Sodium L-ascorbyl-2-phosphate Herein, we report a follow-up study, in which we used glutathione (GSH)-deficient glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (Gclm)-null mice to investigate the role of redox homeostasis in DX-induced liver cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. Gclm-null and wild-type mice were exposed to DX for one week (1000 mg/kg/day by oral gavage) or three months (5000 ppm in drinking water). Subchronic exposure of high dose DX caused mild liver cytotoxicity. DX induced assorted molecular changes in the liver including (i) a compensatory nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) anti-oxidative response at the early stage (one week), (ii) progressive CYP2E1 induction, (iii) development of oxidative stress, as evidenced by persistent NRF2 induction, oxidation of GSH pool, and accumulation of the lipid peroxidation by-product 4-hydroxynonenal, and (iv) elevations in oxidative DNA damage and DNA repair response. These DX-elicited changes were exaggerated in GSH-deficient mice. Collectively, the current study provides additional evidence linking redox dysregulation to DX liver genotoxicity, implying oxidative stress as a candidate mechanism of DX liver carcinogenicity.
