In this study, environmentally friendly flame retardants capable of efficient flame retardancy at low concentrations in wood were developed. Urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin and guanidinium azole (GZ)-phytate (PA)-copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)) flame-retardant resin coating blends were prepared using urea, formaldehyde, 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole (GZ), phytanic acid (PA), and copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)). Employing dioctyl phthalate as the plasticizer and tannic acid as the curing agent, a three-stage reaction was performed to obtain the desired UF-GZ/PA/Cu as a bio-based flame retardant.

Article Synopsis
- Eutrophication and phosphorus scarcity highlight the need for effective phosphorus removal technologies, prompting the study of a lanthanum hydroxide-coated sludge biochar adsorbent.
- The optimized adsorbent (La-C-550) demonstrated strong phosphorus adsorption, with a capacity of 76.4 mg-P/g, and effective performance across various pH levels and in the presence of competing anions.
- In tests using actual wastewater, La-C-550 successfully reduced phosphorus levels to below 0.1 mg-P/L, meeting quality standards and showcasing its potential as a cost-effective solution for wastewater treatment.
Novel food preservation strategy using sprayed PVA/chitosan-based coatings activated by macroemulsions of chamomile essential oil adsorbed on activated carbon.

Active films based on polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) were developed by encapsulating chamomile essential oil using an emulsification process, followed by adsorption onto activated carbon (AC) to stabilize the oil droplets. Microscopic analysis showed that the average size of the micelles was between 0.1 μm and 1.

USDA - Agricultural Research Service, United States.
The demand for seed-based restoration and revegetation of degraded drylands has intensified with increased disturbance and climate change. Invasive plants often hinder the establishment of seeded species; thus, they are routinely controlled with herbicides. Herbicides used to control invasive plants may maintain soil activity and cause non-target damage to seeded species.

This study investigated the feasibility of using/reusing commercial activated carbon (CAC) for the capture of high molecular weight and high-boiling point volatile organic compounds (HBPVOCs). The CAC was first characterized using proximate analysis, heat value analysis, iodine value analysis, element analysis, inductively coupled plasma spectrometry, and specific surface area analysis. We then assessed the adsorption/desorption performance of a CAC-based PSA system for the removal of Butyl Cellosolve (BCS), a HBPVOC commonly used in paints, coatings, cleaners, and industrial processes.
