Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

This topic focuses on advanced technologies and mechanisms in environmental engineering for organic waste treatment and pollution control. It integrates anaerobic digestion and composting to realize resource recovery of organic waste, while exploring strategies for odor reduction, greenhouse gas emission mitigation, pollutant removal, heavy metal pollution remediation and antibiotics resistance gene control. Meanwhile, it combines machine learning to model and optimize carbon metabolism and treatment processes. In addition, catalytic air oxidation and membrane-based water treatment are introduced to enhance the efficiency of pollutant degradation and water purification. This topic aims to develop green, efficient and intelligent technical systems for organic waste utilization and environmental pollution governance, providing theoretical and technical support for sustainable environmental development.

In this study, a composite adsorbent (CS-ABnt) based on activated bentonite and chitosan was prepared using a simple coating method in the form of beads designed to combine high adsorption performance with the ease of solid–liquid separation typical of bead-type materials, serving as a low-cost tetracycline adsorbent. The composite was characterized by FTIR, EDX, and zeta potential measurements, which confirmed successful chitosan coating of the bentonite surface and a marked shift in the point of zero charge (from pH 5.54 for chitosan to pH 7.32 for CS-ABnt). Batch adsorption experiments showed that tetracycline removal was strongly pH-dependent, with an optimum near pH 6, and that the CS-ABnt composite consistently outperformed its individual components (chitosan and activated bentonite) across all tested doses, contact times, and temperatures. Equilibrium data were best described by the Langmuir isotherm, yielding a maximum adsorption capacity of 49.11 mg·g−1, while kinetic data followed the pseudo-second-order model, revealing that the rate-limiting step is chemisorption. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG° < 0, ΔH° > 0, ΔS° > 0) indicated a spontaneous, endothermic adsorption process. Taken together, these results enabled a 95% removal efficiency of tetracycline to be achieved. Full article
