Abstract

Urban areas in hyper-arid regions face a dual threat of water scarcity and urban heat islands, exacerbated by conventional infrastructure. This study introduces and evaluates the "Sponge Park" concept—a decentralized, nature-based system of permeable surfaces and subsurface storage—as a replicable model for integrated water management and climate adaptation in arid cities. A novel multi-model computational framework was developed, coupling Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for process-level subsurface hydrology and heat transfer, the EPA HELP model for long-term water balance, and TR-55/HydroCAD for extreme storm event routing. The system, designed for a 13-ha site in Abu Dhabi, integrates high-infiltration silica-sand pavers and breathable aquicludes (APAC). A comprehensive Monte Carlo analysis (n=1,000) quantified uncertainties in key parameters. Simulations under local climatic inputs (80 mm/yr rainfall) project exceptional performance: >93.6 ± 3.8% annual rainfall infiltration, <0.1% runoff for 50 mm/24h storms, and pollutant removal efficiencies of 98.0 ± 2.1% (SS) and 93.9 ± 4.2% (COD). The system harvests 5,240 ± 520 m³/yr of water for reuse. The latent heat flux from evaporation (9.32 ± 0.93 GJ/yr per 1,000 m²) translates to a microclimate cooling of 0.4–0.6 °C. A life-cycle cost analysis confirms economic viability with a net present value of +$0.42 million. The Sponge Park provides a quantitative, policy-ready blueprint for transforming arid cities. It demonstrates a sustainable pathway to achieving water security and climate resilience, directly supporting the UAE's Estidama framework, Net-Zero 2050 goal, and relevant UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The simulation-based proof-of-concept establishes a new benchmark for sponge city applications in water-stressed regions, with a defined plan for field validation.

Abstract

The booming development of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Vietnam has worsened the problem of end-of-life EV battery management in a sustainable and economically feasible way. Reverse supply chain management (RSCM) plays a critical role in reducing environmental risks, resource dependency, and circular economy goals. However, the choice of suitable reverse supply chain strategies is impaired by several economic, environmental, technical, and policy-related barriers. This study proposes an integrated AHP-TOPSIS framework for the evaluation and prioritization of reverse supply chain alternatives for EV batteries in the Vietnamese context. Ten key barriers were identified, from an extensive literature review and expert consultation by twelve domain specialists. High collection and transportation costs (weight = 0.244) and high recycling and processing expenses (weight = 0.162) were shown to be the most significant barriers when AHP was applied to determine their relative importance. The four options—Direct Recycling, Second-Life Applications, Centralized Recycling, and Decentralized/Hybrid Recycling—were then ranked using TOPSIS. According to the findings, Decentralized/Hybrid Recycling had the highest closeness coefficient, followed by Second-Life Applications, while Direct Recycling had the lowest. The results show how adaptable and localized reverse supply chain topologies can help solve the issue of cost-related barriers. In order to promote sustainable EV battery management in Vietnam, the suggested framework provides policymakers and industry stakeholders with useful insights.

Abstract

Plastic waste that is resistant to natural degradation remains a critical environmental challenge. One promising strategy to address this issue is the development of bioplastics derived from renewable, biodegradable resources. This study investigates the potential of combining Spirulina platensis and arrowroot (Maranta arundinacea) flour to produce bioplastics with improved mechanical, chemical, and biodegradation performance. An experimental approach was employed using four formulations: bioplastics derived solely from S. platensis, solely from arrowroot flour, a composite of S. platensis and arrowroot flour, and a commercial bioplastic (ecoplast) as a positive control. Comprehensive characterization was conducted using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), tensile strength, thickness measurement, and biodegradation tests in accordance with ASTM standards. The results demonstrate that the combined Spirulina–arrowroot formulation exhibits more balanced and superior properties compared to single-component bioplastics. The composite bioplastic achieved a tensile strength of 4.267 MPa and an elongation at break of 105.5%, approaching the performance of commercial bioplastic. FTIR analysis confirmed the presence of key functional groups, including hydroxyl (–OH), carboxyl (–COOH), ester (C–O), and aromatic structures, indicating effective polymer network formation. SEM observations revealed a smoother and denser surface morphology, while XRD analysis indicated a semi-crystalline structure with a crystallinity of 49.6%. All bioplastic samples fully decomposed in composted soil within three days, highlighting their excellent biodegradability. Overall, the combination of Spirulina platensis and arrowroot flour effectively compensates for the limitations of each individual material, yielding a strong, flexible, and rapidly degradable bioplastic. These findings suggest a viable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional plastics and provide a foundation for the future development of large-scale bioplastic products with properties comparable to commercial materials.

Abstract

The increasing accumulation of plastic waste from fishing nets is primarily driven by the large volume of nets introduced into aquatic systems. Fishing nets are predominantly manufactured from polyethylene, a polymer known for its high resistance to degradation, allowing it to persist in marine environments for hundreds of years. Consequently, discarded or degraded fishing nets represent an ongoing environmental challenge, which is further exacerbated by their fragmentation into microplastics. In response to this issue, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by Spirulina sp. for the bioremediation of polyethylene-derived microplastics from fishing nets in seawater. A quasi-experimental design was employed, consisting of control and treatment reactors. EPS was applied at concentrations of 20, 30, and 40 mg in the treatment reactors, while the control reactor received no EPS addition. The remediation process was conducted over treatment periods of 5, 9, and 13 days. Following the treatment, laboratory analyses were performed to assess changes in key water quality parameters, including salinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and Spirulina growth rate. In addition, the residual microplastics that were not flocculated were quantified. The results indicated that the presence of microplastics influenced the growth dynamics of Spirulina. Nevertheless, EPS application resulted in a measurable reduction in microplastic mass, with decreases of 5.0 g, 10.1 mg, and 11.6 mg observed in the 20, 30, and 40 mg treatments, respectively. Overall, the findings demonstrate that bioremediation using Spirulina-derived EPS is effective in reducing polyethylene microplastics in seawater. Future studies are recommended to extend the treatment duration, utilize natural seawater under environmentally realistic conditions, and evaluate the broader ecological impacts of EPS-based bioremediation to support its practical application in marine environments.
