Environmental screening of water associated with shale gas extraction by fluorescence excitation emission matrix
The shale revolution has involved the production of oil and gas from shale reservoirs enabled by modern techniques such as horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. Large volumes of water-based fluids are required for hydraulic fracturing, some of which return to the surface as produced water. The recycling and effective disposal of produced wa...
High flux Fe/activated carbon membranes for efficient degradation of organic pollutants in water by activating sodium pe...
Efficient removal of organic pollutants in water is an important task and difficult problem in environmental treatment. In this paper, activated carbon supported Fe ions catalyst (Fe/AC) was prepared by a modulated hydrothermal approach for catalytic activating sodium persulfate (PS) to remove trace of humic acid (HA) in water. The effect of the do...

Depth profile of colloidal iron in the pore water of an Albic Podzol
Iron (Fe) colloids dominate the soil solution Fe and these colloids potentially act as vectors for nutrients and contaminants in soil. The question remains which factors, that is, gradients in soil chemical characteristics with depth or physical processes, cause vertical mobilisation and immobilisation of Fe colloids in soils. This question was add...

Genomic Aromatic Compound Degradation Potential of Novel Paraburkholderia Species: Paraburkholderia domus sp. nov., Para...
We performed a taxonomic and comparative genomics analysis of 67 novel Paraburkholderia isolates from forest soil. Phylogenetic analysis of the recA gene revealed that these isolates formed a coherent lineage within the genus Paraburkholderia that also included Paraburkholderiaaspalathi, Paraburkholderiamadseniana, Paraburkholderiasediminicola, Par...
Applications of biochar in redox-mediated reactions.
Published in Bioresource technology
Biochar is chemically more reduced and reactive than the original feedstock biomass. Graphite regions, functional groups, and redox-active metals in biochar contribute to its redox characteristics. While the functional groups such as phenolic species in biochar are the main electron donating moieties (i.e., reducers), the quinones and polycondensed...
Salinity, dissolved organic carbon, and interpopulation variability hardly influence the accumulation and effect of copp...
Published in Environmental toxicology and chemistry
To improve the ecological relevance of environmental risk assessment, an improved understanding is needed of 1) the influence of environmental conditions on the toxicity of pollutants, and 2) the effect of these factors in combination with possible interpopulation variability. The influences of salinity and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) on the acc...
Accelerated Reduction of Bromate in Frozen Solution
Bromate is a common disinfection byproduct formed during ozonation. Reducing bromate into bromide can remove this toxic pollutant, however, not many studies have been done for its environmental fate. In this work, we demonstrate a new transformation pathway that bromate can be efficiently reduced to bromide in frozen solution in the presence of org...
