Sludge-derived activated carbon (SAC) was prepared by Fenton activation and calcination, and used as adsorbent to eliminate Eriochrome Black T (EBT) dye from aqueous media. The characterization results indicated that the produced SAC had a porous structure, high specific surface area, and abundant functional groups on its surface. The adsorption process was affected by pH, adsorbent dosage, time, and temperature. The adsorption capacity increased with temperature, and the highest adsorption capacity reached 178.2 mg·g in 48 h at 318 K and pH 6. The results of the adsorption isotherm, kinetic, and thermodynamic analyses revealed that the adsorption of EBT onto SAC was naturally endothermic and spontaneous, involved both physical and chemical processes, and belonged mostly to the multilayer type of adsorption.

Olive mill wastewater (OMWW), a pollutant resulting from the olive oil industry, poses a serious ecological challenge due to its high pollution load. This effluent is highly concentrated in chemical oxygen demand (COD), which is 200 times higher than that of sewage wastewater. Moreover, OMWW is characterized by a strong acidity, high content of fatty matter, and high concentration of phenolic compounds.

The utilization of urban waste for land management plays a crucial role in reshaping material flows between human activities and the environment. Sewage sludge alkaline thermal hydrolysis (ATH) produces sludge-derived plant biostimulants (SPB), which have garnered attention due to the presence of indole-3-acetic acid. However, there remains a gap in understanding SPB's molecular-level effects and its comprehensive impact on crops throughout their growth cycle.

To improve the hydrogen sulfide (HS) adsorption performance of sludge-derived char, a type of red mud-modified sludge char (RSC) was prepared through microwave-assisted one-step pyrolysis and steam activation of sludge and red mud (RM). The effects of pyrolysis temperature, RM mass percentage, and steam flow rate on the cumulative adsorption capacity of HS were systematically investigated using response surface method. The results indicated that the sludge char showed a significant increase in cumulative adsorption capacity from 1.

Article Synopsis
- Alkaline thermal hydrolysis of sewage sludge creates biostimulants that improve plant growth, with this study specifically examining their effects on rice quality in agriculture.
- The research found that rice treated with sewage sludge-derived biostimulants (SS-BS) meets safety standards and is enriched with nutrients such as protein and vitamins, enhancing overall quality.
- The study also identifies key genes involved in increasing beneficial compounds while inhibiting the synthesis of certain less desirable substances, supporting the idea of SS-BS as a tool for sustainable agriculture and functional food production.
