ABSTRACT
This study investigates the potential of valorized wood bark waste as an efficient, low-cost adsorbent for removing Pb(II) ions from aqueous solutions. Valorization via pyrolysis significantly enhanced the surface area (from 105.3 to 344.7 m²/g) and pore volume (from 0.168 to 0.421 cm³/g), promoting higher adsorption capacity. Characterization using FT-IR, SEM-EDS, BET, and TGA confirmed structural and chemical modifications that improved Pb(II) uptake. Batch experiments optimized parameters such as pH (optimal at 5), contact time (100 min), temperature (55 °C), and adsorbent dosage (0.5 g). The valorized adsorbent (VWBWA) demonstrated superior performance, achieving a maximum adsorption capacity of 114.03 mg/g, nearly twice that of the raw form (59.20 mg/g). Adsorption followed both Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms, and kinetic data fit pseudo-second-order and intraparticle diffusion models, indicating chemisorption and pore diffusion mechanisms. Thermodynamic analysis revealed the process was spontaneous and endothermic, with higher enthalpy (39.54 kJ/mol) and entropy (13.44 J/mol·K) changes for VWBWA. Desorption studies confirmed reusability, with acetic acid showing optimal elution. These findings establish valorized wood bark waste as a promising and sustainable biosorbent for lead remediation in industrial wastewater treatment, aligning with circular economy and waste valorization principles.

ABSTRACT
Lignin, a carbon-neutral biopolymer, exhibits significant potential for circular economy applications in pavement engineering. As a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based products, lignin and its derivatives have attracted growing research interest for asphalt modification. After modification, the deformation and aging resistance of lignin-modified asphalt (LMA) was enhanced by at least 20 %. The effectiveness of lignin in asphalt applications can be further enhanced by synthesizing lignin-based resins. The physical and rheological properties of lignin-based resin-modified asphalt exhibit comparable performance to those of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt. To advance the implementation of lignin and its derivatives in pavement engineering materials while enhancing their performance efficacy and utilization rates, this review systematically summarizes lignin sources, extraction methodologies, synthesis strategies for lignin-based resins, and their application advancements in asphalt modification. Furthermore, the environmental impacts were assessed through life cycle analysis (LCA), and potential development pathways along with future research directions were discussed. Future research should prioritize enhancing lignin utilization efficiency, optimizing the performance efficacy of its derivatives, and increasing substitution rates in asphalt formulations to advance industrial implementation within sustainable pavement engineering.

ABSTRACT
Wastewater reuse for irrigation is a key solution to freshwater shortages and food crises caused by population growth and climate change, aligning with circular economy and sustainable development principles. However, traditional techniques struggle to handle the complex nonlinearities in wastewater reuse, which hinders broader adoption. Artificial intelligence (AI) can effectively capture and manage the complex dynamics in wastewater treatment and irrigation-two crucial stages in wastewater reuse-making it a promising technology for future development. This review aims to critically examine the application of AI in both wastewater treatment and agricultural reuse, highlighting technical limitations, regulatory misalignments, and implementation gaps. Studies show that AI enhances wastewater treatment by improving real-time water quality monitoring, effluent quality, energy savings, and cost reduction. AI also optimizes irrigation by improving water reuse efficiency, scheduling, and reducing risks like over-irrigation and soil contamination, boosting agricultural productivity and sustainability. However, existing AI models are primarily designed based on wastewater discharge standards, overlooking reclaimed water requirements. A notable example of this misalignment is the persistent focus of AI models on specific pollutants removal (e.g., nitrogen), aligned with traditional discharge standards, despite these pollutants no longer being key parameters under reclaimed water quality criteria (e.g., Regulation (EU) 2020/741). AI models also focus heavily on predicting conventional water quality parameters while neglecting contaminants of emerging concern (CECs). Moreover, many AI models are only validated in simulated environments and do not provide robust evidence of performance in real-world reuse systems. The review concludes with a roadmap of future research needs, offering practical insights for researchers, plant operators, and policymakers. This synthesis serves as a reference framework to guide the development of integrated, quality-aware AI systems for sustainable water reuse.

ABSTRACT
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) accounts for ≈6% of global plastic production, contributing considerably to the global solid-waste stream and environmental plastic pollution. Since the discovery of PET-depolymerizing enzymes, enzymatic PET recycling has been regarded as a promising method for plastic disposal, particularly in the context of a circular economy strategy. However, because the PET-degrading enzymes developed so far suffer from relatively limited thermostability and low catalytic efficiency, as well as degradation product inhibition, their large-scale industrial applications are still largely hampered. To overcome these limitations, we engineered the current PET-hydrolyzing enzyme gold standard [the ICCG variant of leaf-branch compost cutinase (LCC-ICCG)] using in silico protein design methods to develop a PET-hydrolyzing enzyme that features enhanced thermal stability and PET depolymerization activity. Our mutant, LCC-ICCG-C09, features a 3.5 °C increase in melting temperature relative to the LCC-ICCG enzyme. Under optimal reaction conditions (68 °C), the engineered enzyme hydrolyzes amorphous PET material into terephthalic acid (TPA) with a two-fold higher efficiency compared to LCC-ICCG. Owing to its enhanced properties, LCC-ICCG-C09 may be a promising candidate for future applications in industrial PET recycling processes.
