Abstract. The world is rapidly adopting renewable energy alternatives at a remarkable rate to address the ever-increasing environmental crisis of CO 2 emissions. Renewable energy system offers enormous potential to decarbonize the environment because they produce no greenhouse gases or other polluting emissions.
Due to their a vast range of applications, a large number of batteries of different types and sizes are produced globally, leading to different environmental and public health issues. In the following subsections, different adverse influences and hazards created by batteries are discussed. 3.1. Raw materials inputs.
Anaerobic membrane (AnMBR) wastewater treatment has gained recognition as a low-energy, prospective substitute for the traditional, energy-intensive activated sludge technique. [] Harclerode et al. [ 49 ] compared the energy efficiency of AnMBR for the removal of sulfides from wastewater and determined that chemical coagulation facilitated …
The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) gives EPA the authority to control hazardous waste from cradle to grave. This includes the generation, transportation, treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. RCRA also set forth a framework for the management of non-hazardous solid wastes. The 1986 amendments to …
We acknowledge the support for this work provided by the project "Advanced Nanostructured Materials for Sustainable Growth: Green Energy Production/Storage, Energy Saving and Environmental Remediation" (TAEDR-0535821), which was implemented under the action "Flagship actions in interdisciplinary scientific …
In the context of climate change and the circular economy, biochar has recently found many applications in various sectors as a versatile and recycled material. Here, we review application of biochar-based for carbon sink, covering agronomy, animal farming, anaerobic digestion, composting, environmental remediation, construction, and …
This paper presents a comprehensive review of studies on electrodialysis (ED) applications in wastewater treatment, outlining the current status and the future prospect. ED is a membrane process of separation under the action of an electric field, where ions are selectively transported across ion-exchange membranes. ED of both …

Nevertheless, degradation mechanisms for active materials of energy storage batteries are complicated that cannot be simplified as electrode corrosion. Correspondingly, one proposed strategy is not able to overcome all universal hazards because each treatment behaves with its clear limitation.
The USA Environmental Protection Agency claims that 90% recycling is achieved for automotive Pb-A batteries [86]. ... Batteries may impact the environment during manufacturing, use, storage, treatment, disposal and recycling. Due to their a vast range of applications, a large number of batteries of different types and sizes are …
CARBON FOR ENERGY STORAGE AND ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION (CESEP2023) taking place in Budapest, Hungary from 24-28 September 2023. The conference will be jointly organized by the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, Budapest University of Technology and Economics and the Institute of Materials and …
Energy is typically needed for raw water extraction and conveyance, treatment, water storage and distribution. This document describes strategies for saving energy at public water systems.

There is a growing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) for electric transportation and to support the application of renewable energies by auxiliary energy storage systems. This surge in demand requires a concomitant increase in production and, down the line, leads to large numbers of spent LIBs. The ever-increasing battery waste …
The National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) issues permits to all wastewater dischargers and treatment facilities. These permits establish specific discharge limits, monitoring and reporting requirements and may also require these facilities to undertake special measures to protect the environment from harmful pollutants.
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is recognized as a crucial instrument among the several mechanisms that are considered. This research investigates the intrinsic relationship between Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and the global shift towards sustainable energy. Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) offer a …
Electrochemical energy storage and conversion (EESC) technology is key to the sustainable development of human society. As an abundant and renewable source, biomass has recently shown widespread applications in EESC, achieving both low environmental impact and high performances.
