Dionex - Alkylbenzene Sulfonate in Treatment Plant Wastewater

Analytical chemistry’s success in determining the composition and quantity of matter plays a crucial role in addressing environmental challenges. However, its reliance on energy-intensive processes, non-renewable resources, and waste generation raises concerns. A paradigm shift is occurring to align analytical chemistry with sustainability science. Elia Psillakis from the Technical University of Crete, Crete, Greece, and winner of this year’s Silver Jubilee Award from the Chromatographic Society gives an update on current initiatives in green analytical chemistry.

A new tutorial article has been created focusing on the best practices in batch sorption when removing contaminants using biochar-based techniques.

This article discusses how integrating seven prioritization strategies can enhance compound identification, support environmental risk assessment, and accelerate decision-making.
