Abstract

A biological invasion is a form of biological pollution that is most likely more terrible than chemical pollution. Xanthium spinosum is one of the most invasive alien plant species. However, its abundance and impacts on invaded plant communities have not yet thoroughly studied. This study aimed to investigate the abundance and impacts of X. spinosum on invaded plant communities in the North Shewa Zone, Ethiopia. The study applied the quadrat method, sampling 80 main plots within 1 m2. Differences in mean cover-abundances of X. spinosum across various land types were compared using one-way-ANOVA followed by Tukey’s Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) Test. The results showed that roadsides and flooded areas exhibited the maximum mean cover-abundance of X. spinosum compared to farmland and rangeland. The number of plant species recorded was 106 in the control areas, compared to only 73 in the invaded areas. Hence, the number of plant species decreased by 31.13% in the infested area compared to the control. Thus, X. spinosum was among the factors contributing to the reduction of plant diversity, affecting the sustainability of biodiversity in the study areas.  Therefore, implementing management measures against the spread of X. spinosum is to address the ongoing threat to biodiversity.

Abstract

Spent bleaching earth and ZnO composite (SBE/ZnO) was prepared as the catalyst for the advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) of rhodamine B (RB) under O3/UV.  The photocatalytic ozonation process of RB was conducted at an ozone flow rate of 1 L/min by adjusting the variation of initial RB concentration, catalyst dosage, and reaction time.  The RB removal efficiency of 96.7% was reached within 36 min at optimal operational conditions (initial concentration of 100 mg/L and catalyst dosage of 1.5 g). The kinetical analysis at this condition showed that the photocatalytic ozonation process of RB followed a pseudo-first-order reaction with a rate constant of 0.0975 min-1. Meanwhile, the effect of operational variables was evaluated using response surface methodology (RSM) and resulted in an optimized model for RB Removal following equation:  RB Removal = 84.95 - 6.24A + 5.81B + 22.45C + 3.07AB + 13.14AC - 6.72BC + 0.1174A2 + 7.86B2 - 8.90C2, where A is the initial concentration of RB, B is catalyst dose and C is reaction time, with a high coefficient of determination R2 = 0.9432.

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with high Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emission, contributing significantly to climate change problems. As part of its commitment to address this, the Indonesian government, through State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), is dedicated to mitigating climate change. Early reporting on this mitigation efforts is crucial in addressing this pressing issue. This study aims to examine how company ownership and other companies’ characteristics (such as sector type, size, and profitability) influence the disclosure of climate change mitigation efforts. Content analysis is conducted on the annual and sustainability reports of top-100 Indonesian companies, based on their financial performance in 2020. Among the 100 observations, only 13 companies were categorized as have comprehensive reporting. In addition, using the General Ordered Logit Model (GOLM) regression, this study reveals that SOEs do not demonstrate superior disclosure compared to private companies. Instead, industry type and company size notably influence the climate change mitigation efforts, while the company’s profitability shows no significant impact on reporting. Therefore, improving disclosure require stricter regulatory enforcement, especially for SOEs and private companies, business in the low-emissions sectors, and those with limited asset levels.

Abstract

As a member of the Global Geopark Network, Gunung Sewu UNESCO Global Geopark is designed to attract tourists, with a focus on the tourism industry to generate revenue. However, this development triggers environmental pressure on the already fragile karstic ecosystem, necessitating the implementation of mitigation measures. This research aims to employ Karst Ecosystem Services (KESs) as a tool for managing the karst area and the Geopark itself, exploring both the concept and its implementation. Two examples of ecosystem services, scenic and habitat quality, are generated using InVEST tools as the representations of Karst Ecosystem Services. In the Karst of Gunung Sewu, the habitat quality of tree covers, ponds, and caves is threatened by limestone mining, agriculture, and large-scale infrastructure, while the scenic quality is degraded by the presence of construction sites, large statues, and unused or abandoned building. These ecosystem services can contribute to strengthening the Geopark’s pillars through conserving intactness and maintaining energy flow within the habitat for the Geoconservation pillar. For geoeduaction pillar, scenic landscapes provide visual interpretation, and the integrity of landforms supports morphological interpretation. Lastly, habitat and scenic quality can be developed to enhance tourism attraction while maintaining the environment quality for the Sustainable Local Economic Development pillar.

Abstract

Fashion Industry practices globally are considered to have major negative impacts on both the environment and society. Production and consumption have increasingly moved towards the industry’s model of take-create-dispose. As this phenomenon is observed to take center stage in more industrialized and advanced nations, developing countries including Ghana, also contribute directly or indirectly to the negative impacts. Fashion production in Ghana is predominantly centered on small to medium-scale enterprises, and their mode of operation allows for customized small runs tailored to specific end-customers, thereby providing an avenue for exploring sustainable strategies that may have a positive impact on the environment and society.  This paper takes a narrative review approach to how the fashion industry in Ghana impacts sustainability and the opportunities to make positive impacts on sustainability at a global level. It demonstrates how Ghana, as a developing country, imports raw materials for both textile and apparel production from counterparts in developing and developed countries and contributes to negative environmental impacts associated with sourcing countries. However, with the emergence of sustainable strategies, local contemporary fashion designers can embrace culturally friendly sustainable models to enhance their practice toward industry sustainability.

Abstract

A trial was conducted to evaluate the effect of spent engine oil (SEO), bio-treated with liquid organic fertilizer, on maize plant growth. The study utilized three concentrations of SEO (0.5 and 10% w/w) and four liquid organic fertilizers (water control, cattle dung, poultry manure and rabbit manure). These factors were arranged in a 3 × 4 factorial setup with three replications in a completely randomized design. Collected data included percentage moisture, dry weight, nutrient content and uptake, heavy metal concentration, and post-harvest soil chemical properties. Soil composite samples on physical and chemical analysis carried out show that the engine oil pollution negatively affected soil pH, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, and exchangeable cations, but it increased total organic carbon before maize cultivation. The percentage moisture and dry weight of the maize plant were not significantly (p > 0.5) influenced by engine oil pollution or liquid organic fertilizer application. N, P and Mg content of maize plant were significantly reduced by the engine oil pollution but significantly boosted by organic fertilizer application. Cr and Pb content of the maize were increased with engine oil concentration but decreased with liquid organic fertilizer. Nutrient uptake was decreased with increase in engine oil content but increased with liquid organic fertilizer application. At the end of the experiment, engine oil pollution significantly depressed pH, total N, available P and exchangeable cations, but increased organic C, total hydrocarbon, exchangeable Al and heavy metal content while it was opposite for liquid organic fertilizer. Our findings suggested that soils polluted with SEO should be corrected with the application of organic fertilizers.

Abstract

The techniques for chitosan extraction from indigenous crabs were assessed using physicochemical properties of the chitosan, and its utilization in the treatment of crude oil polluted water was investigated. Physicochemical properties, heavy metal analytic method (AAS), and hydrocarbon analysis (GC-MS method) of the water samples were employed for this investigation. Results obtained from the physical and chemical properties of the chitosan extracted from indigenous crabs (Scylla species) showed a comparable percentage yield (53% and 50%) compared to synthetic chitosan (72%). The pH values obtained from the chitosan ranged from 6.9 – 13.0, while the percentage degree of deacetylation (DDA) ranged from 60 – 75%. The water quality obtained from Ochani River, filtered with chitosan, yielded the best result with chitosan C compared to chitosan B. The heavy metal content in the polluted Ochani River was totally removed with the control (synthetic chitosan A) compared to chitosan C, which showed a comparably reduction. However, the bio-filtration with chitosan B also revealed better reduction compared to chitosan A. The study established that irrespective of the crude method applied in the extraction of the chitosan from indigenous crabs, its efficacy in treating crude oil-polluted Ochani River was highly impactful.

Abstract

Non-revenue water (NRW) is a crucial problem for the Perusahaan Umum Daerah Air Minum (PERUMDAM) Palangka Raya due to its extensive service area, lacking metered divisions that hinder leak detection in the distribution pipe network. This research explores the potential for reducing NRW levels by establishing a district meter area (DMA) within the central drinking water supply system (SPAM) PERUMDAM Palangka Raya service area. DMA configuration, designed to meet specific distribution pipe criteria, is carried out through the EPANET 2.2 program. This study aims to identify the decrease in NRW through the implementation of the Fix and Variable Area Demand (FAVAD) pressure management method. Due to limited resources, a priority assessment for DMA formation was performed using the Weight Sum Model (WSM) method. The analysis results show the possibility of dividing the central drinking water supply system service area into 27 DMAs, with the formation of DMA I/11 identifies as the highest priority DMA. After the DMA was established, the NRW component that decreased was water loss caused by pipe leaks, resulting in a saved amount of 15,261 m3/month. This reduction contribute to a dicrease in NRW levels by 6.06%, preventing clean water scarcity in Palangka Raya City.

Abstract

The low pH and high metal concentration in acid mine drainage cause environmental problems and affect human health. Adsorption not only removes the pollutants but also increases pH levels. Natural adsorbents have gained attention because of their widespread availability, low cost, and effectiveness. Zalacca peel waste is among the biomass materials showing promise as activated carbon for removing contaminants from acid mine drainage. This study aims to investigate the adsorption capacity of activated carbon from zalacca peel for removing iron and manganese from acid mine drainage. Adsorption studies were conducted in batch experiments using various dosages and contact times. Optimal results were achieved with a dosage of 0.8 grams per 100 mL and contact time of 60 minutes, resulting in 80% removal efficiency for iron and 24% for manganese. The neutralization process occurred post-adsorption, bringing the final pH close to neutral levels, suitable for environmentally safe discharge. Experiment data were fitted to the Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetics. FTIR analysis revealed functional groups including C-H, C-O, and C=C was found in the adsorbent. Furthermore, surface area and pore volume experienced slight increases following activation with KOH.
