“…Enterprise green development belongs to a development model that can bring long-term benefits, and this benefit can only be obtained in the process of long-term persistence. Therefore, whether considering the current interests or long-term strategic thinking, enterprises need to adhere to the development model of green development for a long time [ 5 ].…”

China’s 13th five-year plan puts forward the development concept of “green development” and takes the construction of green financial system as the development strategy, which shows that the concept of environmental governance and green development is becoming more and more important for national economic development. It is a major strategic task for China to build an environmental governance system dominated by the government and dominated by enterprises and implement the main responsibility of enterprise environmental governance. At present, the environmental supervision of local governments needs to be improved urgently. It is necessary to strengthen the production regulation of enterprises and promote the emission of “three wastes” up to the standard based on the principle of “polluter pays.” The green development of enterprises is not only conducive to the improvement of their own “three effects” and corporate image but also has the external spillover effect of giants and is conducive to the construction of ecological civilization. Therefore, this study will focus on the collaborative governance in the field of environment, explore the ideal collaborative governance framework in the process of environmental collaborative governance, as well as the difficulties and optimization paths of collaboration, and put forward corresponding suggestions for the current environmental governance.

“…High saline water (seawater or brackish water) or wastewater with high salinity can be desalinated in the MDC. In this study, NH 4 Cl was desalinated in the MDC. The current generated through desalination and substrate oxidation is supplied to the MEC, hence, maintaining a selfsustaining system.…”

“…Portable drinking water is essential for the survival of most living things, especially humans. Due to deforestation, overconsumption, heavy metal pollution, chemical pollution, and the impact of global warming, the amount of potable freshwater is gradually reducing [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]. Water bodies polluted with heavy metals and ammonia from industries have become a global concern [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ].…”

The recirculatory microbial desalination cell–microbial electrolysis cell (MDC–MEC) coupled system is a novel technology that generates power, treats wastewater, and supports desalination through eco-friendly processes. This study focuses on the simultaneous efficient removal of Fe2+ and Pb2+ in the MEC and ammonium ions in the MDC. It also evaluates the performances of dual-chambered MEC (DCMEC) and single-chambered MEC (SCMEC), coupled with MDC with Ferricyanide as catholyte (MDCF) in heavy metals (Pb2+ and Fe2+) removal, in addition to the production of voltage, current, and power within a 48-h cycle. The SCMEC has a higher Pb2+ (74.61%) and Fe2+ (85.05%) removal efficiency during the 48-h cycle than the DCMEC due to the simultaneous use of microbial biosorption and the cathodic reduction potential. The DCMEC had a higher current density of 753.62 mAm−2 than that of SCMEC, i.e., 463.77 mAm−2, which influences higher desalination in the MDCF than in the SCMEC within the 48-h cycle. The MDCF produces a higher voltage (627 mV) than Control 1, MDC (505 mV), as a power source to the two MECs. Stable electrolytes’ pH and conductivities provide a conducive operation of the coupled system. This study lays a solid background for the type of MDC–MEC coupled systems needed for industrial scale-up.

How environmental reputation and ethical behavior impact the relationship between environmental regulatory enforcement and environmental performance

The paper investigates the nature of the relationship between environmental regulation enforcement (ERE) and environmental performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Drawing upon the institutional theory and a sample of 229 SMEs, the results indicate an inverted U-shaped relationship between ERE and environmental performance. In addition, we theorized and found that environmental reputation moderates the U-shaped relationship between ERE and environmental performance, such that the relationship is positive when environmental reputation is high. Moreover, the results show that organizational ethical behavior (OEB) conditions the U-shaped relationship, such that the relationship is positive when OEB is high. In the absence of moderators, returns to environmental performance from increasing environmental regulation were observed to reach harmful levels. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
