Decachlorobiphenyl (DCB) is one of the 209 polychlorinated biphenyls congeners characterized by its high toxicity and chemical stability. It is produced by industrial activities. A possible strategy to eliminate DCB is by bacterial degradation. The main objective of this study was to define the optimal conditions for biodegradation and bioaccumulat...

The present work aims to study the effect of disk material and disk surface roughness on the oil recovery rate and oil recovery efficiency. Materials used in this study were steel, plastic, and woven fabric; two types of oil were used, namely, SAE50 and used car engine oil. The oil recovery rate was found to increase with increasing disk rotational...

Intensified vehicular traffic causes increased heavy metal contamination of the environment. We investigated the heavy metal chemistry of soils located under silver fir stands in the vicinity of Poland’s S7 roadway. Three sampling sites were located in fir stands in central Poland. Fieldwork included soil sampling of the organic (O) horizon and min...

Calcium (Ca) concentrations in lakes have declined in many regions, and concerns have been expressed that Ca levels are falling below biologically significant thresholds. Wood ash additions to soil are typically used to combat soil acidification, and it is unclear whether wood ash additions to upland soils will lead to higher Ca leaching to surface...

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is increasingly considered as a promising method to deal with animal manure. Inevitably, using this method for treatment of animal manure led to large amount of hydrothermal liquid. However, the effect of temperature on the characteristics of liquid product that derived from hydrothermal carbonization of animal manu...

Acid mine water was treated with fly ash zeolite (FAZ), followed by different active chemicals to know its suitability for crops. Acid mine drainage (AMD) was obtained from Gorbi abandoned opencast mines of Singrauli, Northern Coalfields (NCL), India. The AMD was treated with 20 g/l dosing of fly ash zeolite, followed by different precipitating che...

The aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology has shown a great potential for effectively removing oxytetracycline (OTC) from wastewater in an environmentally friendly way. In this study, the removal mechanism of OTC by the AGS process was investigated. The results showed that AGS has adsorption behavior to OTC and biodegradation at the same time. T...

The elemental analysis of road dust can be used to determine the contribution of traffic-related metal emissions to the local environment. Previous studies have shown that brake wear, tire wear, and lead wheel weights release significant amounts of metals that lead to decreased biodiversity and degradation of urban streams. Highway pavement has not...
