Regenerative Energie
Heavy metals represent important raw materials. However, these elements can be potentially hazardous for the health of humans, animals, plants and other living organisms. In industry, wastewaters with a variable concentration of different metal components e.g. Cu, Ni, Zn, Ag, Pd, Au, Sn and Cr are produced. The amount of heavy metal containing wastewaters has strongly increased in the last decades due to the rapid development of industry.
Herein, we present a new, economic, energy-saving and environment-friendly technique to treat industrial wastewater. With our concept we succeeded (1) to purify metal (A, B) loaded wastewater, (2) to prevent production of highly voluminous hydroxide sludge and (3) to recover metals as a secondary resource, as (doped) ferrites (A2+ Fe 3+2-x B3+x O4), delafossite (A1+ Fe3+1-x B3+x O2), binary oxides and/or zero-valent metals directly from aqueous solutions at low temperatures between 40 °C and 90 °C.
The procedure includes a facile precipitation reaction and ageing of the residues in some cases. The wastewater purification rates achieved by this treatment technique are 99.98 % - 100 % for Cu, Zn, Ni, Ag, Fe, Pd, Cr, Pb and Mn at optimal conditions.
Using this method no highly voluminous hydroxide sludge is produced. The recovery of the heavy metals is economically feasible due to high ratios of the specific element (A, B) in the residue. In some cases the precipitated synthesis product itself, e.g. nano crystalline delafossite can be directly used for industrial applications. Therefore, this concept can effectively prevent pollution, provide a source for usable heavy metals and avoid dissipation of metals into the Environment.

Die innerstaatliche Umsetzung des Pariser Klimaschutzübereinkommens
- ein Rechtsvergleich

Like all public international law treaties, the Paris Climate Accords rely on national law for their implementation. The success of the agreement therefore depends, to a large extent, on the stepstaken or not taken by national governments and legislators as well as on the instruments and mechanisms chosen for this task. Against this background, the present article compares different approaches to the implementation of the Paris Agreement, using court decisions as a means to assess their (legal) effectiveness.
