“…Previous research, such as that carried out by Yusuf et al, (2023), Ambi et al, (2020) and Seid and Gonfa, (2022), have suggested that the removal of contaminants depends on the speci c characteristics of the sample and that bioremediation technologies offer a promising alternative for water decontamination. The removal of iron is a critical process in the management of water and its contamination, since it can affect people's quality of life (WHO, 2003).…”

Heavy metals are of great environmental and sanitary importance due to the toxicity they generate, for this reason a wide variety of methods have been studied for their elimination in the water matrix. One of these methodologies is bioremediation, which consists of removing these elements using biomass (microorganisms or plants), live plants (phytoremediation) or biomaterials. In this study, we investigated the technical feasibility of using the Trichonephila clavipes spider web as a biomaterial for iron removal in water by bioremediation. A bibliometric analysis was carried out, where the process variables and an experimental design were defined using the Response Surface Methodology (RSM), and the iron concentrations were measured before and after the experiment using X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy by dispersive energy (EDX). We obtained an iron removal of 91.82%, using 28.09 h, 81.42 ppm of iron and 0.062 g of spider web. This work is novel and presents a new methodology for the bioremediation of water contaminated with iron, using spider webs. The results indicate a high efficiency in the removal of iron, which could have important implications in solving environmental and health problems associated with the presence of heavy metals in water.

“…Over the years, pollution of water resources has increased, making uncontaminated water bodies even more scarce all over the globe. The pollution has destroyed aquatic ecosystems and resulted in health and safety issues for humanity (Zhai et al, 2021;Yusuf et al, 2023). Protecting water resources and preventing the release of different pollutants represent the first steps in ensuring safety for the environment and people (Berman et al, 2020).…”

Detecting hazardous substances in the environment is crucial for protecting human wellbeing and ecosystems. As technology continues to advance, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising tool for creating sensors that can effectively detect and analyze these hazardous substances. The increasing advancements in information technology have led to a growing interest in utilizing this technology for environmental pollution detection. AI-driven sensor systems, AI and Internet of Things (IoT) can be efficiently used for environmental monitoring, such as those for detecting air pollutants, water contaminants, and soil toxins. With the increasing concerns about the detrimental impact of legacy and emerging hazardous substances on ecosystems and human health, it is necessary to develop advanced monitoring systems that can efficiently detect, analyze, and respond to potential risks. Therefore, this review aims to explore recent advancements in using AI, sensors and IOTs for environmental pollution monitoring, taking into account the complexities of predicting and tracking pollution changes due to the dynamic nature of the environment. Integrating machine learning (ML) methods has the potential to revolutionize environmental science, but it also poses challenges. Important considerations include balancing model performance and interpretability, understanding ML model requirements, selecting appropriate models, and addressing concerns related to data sharing. Through examining these issues, this study seeks to highlight the latest trends in leveraging AI and IOT for environmental pollution monitoring.

“…At present, DBD is one of the more energy-efficient plasma reactors [38]. Yusuf et al [39] recounted the application of plasma technology to degrade different types of pollutants including dyes, organic compounds such as phenol, pesticides, emerging contaminants and pathogenic microorganisms. The authors further discussed the synergistic effect from the plasma with complementally processes such as catalysis, achieved through the increase in the production of reactive species, resulting in enhanced process performance.…”

Chlorination, ozonation and non-thermal plasma water purification technologies were compared in terms of their effectiveness, efficiency, capital and operating costs, energy yield and chemical demand. Retrofitting plasma technology to chlorination plants offered the lowest capital cost (ZAR 14,000 or USD 253,376 based on the current South African Reserve Bank rate of ZAR/USD of 18.0983) and the most effective contaminant removal (of the three possible combinations). How- ever, this combination yielded the highest operating costs (ZAR 586,000 per annum or USD 10.6 million) and the lowest energy efficiency. It was concluded that retrofitting chlorination plants with plasma technology is feasible. However, plasma generators should be redesigned to consume less energy or to operate using renewable energy. Furthermore, research should be performed on contaminants of emerging concern to establish a deadline after which their concentration must not exceed a specified limit. This will accelerate the implementation of plasma technology and secure the health of our posterity.
