Mine water cannot be discharged until it has been treated, which increases the cost of mining and causes environmental damage. This paper attempted to use sulfate mine water as a flame retardant material for the treatment of coal spontaneous combustion (CSC) in underground mines. The temperature-programed experimental device and gas chromatograph were used to simulate the low-temperature oxidation process of coal. Infrared spectroscopy was used to study the influence and inhibition mechanism of mine water and chloride inhibitor on active functional groups. It was found that although the sulfate mine water inhibited the formation of -OH, it accelerated the cleavage of the aromatic ring. The thermogravimetric experiment was used to analyze the ignition temperature and activation energy of different coal samples. It was found that mine water had an obvious effect on inhibiting CSC in the combustion stage, which could increase the oxidation temperature of coal.

Social ecology of artisanal sand mining in the Niger River around Bamako, Mali.

Sand, shaping both natural waterways and urban infrastructure, has recently seen a major surge in extraction, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions like West Africa. To assess the organization, quantification, and socio-ecological implications of sand mining around Mali's capital Bamako, we employed a mixed methods approach including structured and unstructured interviews, truck counts, turbidity analyses, and river depth measurements. Our study identified five artisanal systems for mining sand and gravel from the Niger River, using tied-up pirogues, single pirogues, carts, tractors, and trucks.

Microorganisms in eutrophic water play a vital role in nitrogen (N) removal, which contributes significantly to the nutrient cycling and sustainability of eutrophic ecosystems. However, the mechanisms underlying the interactions and adaptation strategies of the N removal microorganisms in eutrophic ecosystems remain unclear. We thus analyzed field sediments collected from a eutrophic freshwater ecosystem, enriched the N removal microorganisms, examined their function and adaptability through amplicon, metagenome and metatranscriptome sequencing.

Quantification of the non-linear relationship between arsenic (As) and physico-chemical parameters in groundwater through a Self-Organizing Map (SOM) was performed for the first time in Chapai-Nawabganj, Bangladesh. Due to the continuous assessment of groundwater quality, the spatial distribution of As with associated elements was observed for the aerial extent of contaminated groundwater. The results exhibited that 57 % and 31 % of groundwater samples (n = 35) exceeded the allowable limit of As according to the WHO recommended drinking water standard (10 μg/L) and Bangladesh Drinking Water Standard (BDWS) (50 μg/L), respectively.

The rapid impact assessment matrix (RIAM) is a widely utilized tool for evaluating environmental impacts in municipal solid waste management. However, the traditional RIAM (T-RIAM) method includes ambiguities in its scoring classification, which can hinder decision-making accuracy. This study introduces a modified RIAM approach, enhancing classification precision by refining impact categories, making it particularly valuable for projects constrained by time and resources.

In this study, kaolinite-poly(urea-formaldehyde) was successfully prepared through the polymerization of urea intercalated within the kaolinite structure. Polymerization was carried out under ambient conditions by immersing kaolinite-urea in formaldehyde. Evidence of urea intercalation and polymerization was obtained from FTIR, XRD, and thermal analysis (TG-DSC).
