Nanoscale Defect Modulation in Zn 1-x Ni x Fe 2 O 4 Spinel Nanoparticles: Hydrodynamic Agglomeration, Mesoporosity, and Coupled Magnetic and Electrochemical Responses

This study demonstrates that low-concentration nickel doping (specifically at x = 0.03) in ZnNiFe2O4 spinel nanoparticles induces a critical defect-rich mesoporous structure that simultaneously maximizes grain-boundary scattering to enhance magnetic coercivity and optimizes electrochemical charge storage, establishing a narrow compositional threshold for co-tuning multifunctional properties.

Mechanical and abrasion behaviour of cement and alkali-activated material mixes based on oil refinery waste catalyst: investigation and semi-empirical predictive models

This study demonstrates that incorporating 20 wt% oil refinery waste catalyst (ECAT) into cement mortars significantly enhances mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, while developing accurate semi-empirical predictive models for both cement and alkali-activated material mixes to support sustainable construction practices.

Phenol Adsorption from Water Using Raw and Quaternized Waste Sorbents: Isotherm, Kinetic, and Thermodynamic Analysis

This study demonstrates that quaternized agricultural waste peels from *Cucumis metuliferus* and *Aframomum melegueta* serve as highly effective, regenerable, and sustainable biosorbents for removing phenol from wastewater, achieving up to 95.95% removal efficiency through chemisorption mechanisms that outperform their raw counterparts.

Exposure-Integrated Risk Prioritization of Legacy and Emerging PFAS: A Case Study of a Major River Basin in South Korea via High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry

This study pioneers an exposure-integrated risk prioritization framework for the Geum River basin in South Korea by combining high-resolution mass spectrometry with QSAR-based hazard assessment, revealing that while long-chain PFAS possess the highest intrinsic toxicity, short-chain variants like PFBS and PFHxA along with PFOA constitute the greatest management priority due to their widespread environmental loading.

Ferrous-Assisted Corona Plasma Decolorization of Acid Black 194 and Auramine O in a Continuous-Flow Recirculation System

This study demonstrates that an atmospheric-pressure corona plasma system assisted by ferrous species in a continuous-flow recirculation setup effectively achieves over 97% decolorization of both the azo dye Acid Black 194 and the triarylmethane dye Auramine O within 90 minutes, with specific energy consumptions of approximately 40–42 kWh m⁻³.
