Water strategies and practices for sustainable development in the semiconductor industry

Morphological and optical characterizations of Sb2O5 nanorods as new photoelectrode for hydrogen generation

“…Therefore, preserving the water and its purity is of great importance for all living organisms and especially for human beings [9]. There are many aspects of services, businesses and households that use potable water and impact it negatively by transforming it into waste-water [10,11]. To reuse or save as much water as possible, treatment of wastewater or transforming it into green hydrogen are of crucial importance and are being economically feasible approaches [8,10,11].…”

“…There are many aspects of services, businesses and households that use potable water and impact it negatively by transforming it into waste-water [10,11]. To reuse or save as much water as possible, treatment of wastewater or transforming it into green hydrogen are of crucial importance and are being economically feasible approaches [8,10,11]. The key technical issue towards green hydrogen generation from west water splitting is the use highly active and stable photoelectrode material [12].…”

Key Traits of Leading Sustainable Firms in the Semiconductor Industry

“…Scholars and practitioners alike have recognized the need for sustainable practices within this industry to mitigate these impacts and ensure long-term viability [23,24]. Consequently, research in this domain has explored various aspects of sustainability, ranging from specific manufacturing processes and material treatments [25,26] to broader industry-wide initiatives aimed at reducing the environmental footprint [27] and enhancing social responsibility [15,28].…”

Composite modification of carbon fiber cathode with tree-like branched polypyrrole-microwires and polyaniline-nanorods for enhancing hexavalent chromium reduction

“…Cr(III) adsorption on cathode = (C an(Cr tot ) − C ef(Cr tot ) )/C an(Cr tot ) (4) where C in , C an , and C ef are the Cr(VI) or Cr tot concentration in the influent, anode-treated influent, and effluent solutions of ERD (mg L −1 ), respectively. For further evaluating the Cr(VI) removal performance by ERD, the energy consumption (Wh mol −1 ) and energy efficiency for Cr(VI) reduction were obtained by the following equations.…”

“…1,2 As the predominant forms of Cr(VI) and Cr(III) in wastewaters, the Cr(VI) species have received more attention than the Cr(III) ones due to their greater toxicity, more bioavailability, and higher mobility. 3,4 The limit of Cr(VI) in drinking water was suggested to be 50 μg L −1 by the Standards for drinking water quality in China (GB 5749-2022). Since Cr(III) species with low solubility (pK sp = 30.2) are easily removed by precipitation, Cr(VI) reduction to Cr(III) has been regarded as an effective strategy for the treatment of Cr(VI)-contaminated wastewater.…”
