    Abstract: Microplastic (MP) pollution has become a global concern and a hot issue in Vietnam, especially along the coastal hydrosphere. The investigation was carried out by collecting the sediment samples from three typical urbanised beaches in Da Nang: My Khe, T20, and Son Thuy. The qualitative identification and quantitative analysis of MP samples were conducted using micro-Fourier-transform-infrared spectroscopy (μFTIR). A tailored analysis based on adaptation procedure of well-known ones was applied including 5 steps: (1) Drying and homogenising sediment sample; (2) Digestion and cleaning sediment sample; (3) MPs separation by the flotation; (4) MPs sample filtration; (5) MPs quantification and identification. The obtained data showed that the abundances of MPs at three beaches of Son Thuy, T20, and My Khe were 1,460±758, 1,799±370, and 29,232±2,577 items/kg dry sediment, respectively. MPs were classified by different sizes, in which the one with sizes being smaller than 150 μm was accounted for the highest proportion of 77.83% at Son Thuy, 87.96% at T20, and 65.91% at My Khe beach. The chemical composition of MPs with various polymers was precisely identified, in which three dominant polymers were determined as PTFE [Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon)] , EVOH (Ethylene vinyl alcohol), and PA [Polyamide (Nylon)]. Preliminary results of MPs analysis in sediment samples of the three selected beaches in Da Nang can be interpreted as a solid basis for further investigation of MP debris in the shoreline, offshore, and other related samples towards conclusions about the sources of MP pollution in the marine environment in Vietnam’s coastal hydrosphere in future.

    Abstract: This case study focused on zero emission via waste sludge treatment process from a brewery wastewater treatment plant. A perspective solution was based on three main processes by sludge digestion (40 m3/day), biogas recovery and purification for generation (20 kWh) and organic fertilizer production for green agriculture. The system is designed to integrated processes and operated autocompletively, except for the fertilization of crops. This work results showed that organic content decreased 55 - 70% after 20 days of sludge retention time (SRT) with 55 - 65% methane (CH4) yield. The contaminants in biogas was purified by high gravity rotating packed bed (HGRPB) device using aqueous solution (NaOH 0.01 M) and removal efficiency of CH4 concentration is 87%, this CH4 content met a demand of the standard for generator engines or boiler combustion. The digested sludge was combined with other by-products to produce organic fertilizer for green agricultural development, the quality of organic fertilizer was examined and met the regulations of Decree No. 84/2019/ND-CP of the Government: Regulations on fertilizer management. The achievements of this case study respond the harmonious combination among waste treatment, energy recovery and organic fertilizer production to contribute to the direction of the circular economy aspect and sustainable development.

    Abstract: The preliminary screening of microplastics (MPs) in sewage sludge from centralized industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in Da Nang city of Viet Nam was investigated in this study. The MPs samples were collected in the sewage sludge from two WWTPs namely Hoa Cam (HC) and Hoa Khanh (HK). The obtained results indicated that the concentrations of MPs in the sewage sludge of HC and HK were 1,164 and 3,745 particles/kg dry weight, respectively. The MPs sizes varied from 1.6 to 5,000 μm, of which the size in the range of 1.6 - 100 μm was dominant at HC (42.5 %) and HK (51.8 %). The shape of MPs was mainly in the form of fragments and fibers. The MPs colour was also observed and the results showed that black, grey and yellow were the main colours of MPs. In addition, MPs chemical composition was determined and the results indicated that polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene (PE) were dominant with 36.7 % and 25.2 % for HK and 23.5 % and 25.8 % for HC, respectively.
