Heat-treated serpentine products from mining wastes have been examined to remediate highly contaminated soil with total concentration of Cu 10470 mg/kg and Ni 5300 mg/kg. The series of laboratory and field experiments (for 10 years) were conducted. The modified Tessier method was used to assess the metals geochemical mobility. The effect of hydrati...

The prevalence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) in agricultural soils has raised concerns regarding the health risks associated with the consumption of PFAS-contaminated agricultural products. The present study investigated the uptake and translocation of nine PFASs in lettuce using a hydroponic setting. During the uptake experiments,...

Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987)
Antimony (Sb-V), a carcinogenic metalloid, is becoming prevalent in water and soil due to anthropogenic activities. Biochar could be an effective remedy for Sb(V)-contaminated water and soil. In this study, we used pristine and engineered pinecone-derived biochar as an innovative approach for treating Sb(V)-contaminated water and shooting range soi...

The aim of the research work was to present a multilayer hydrogel capsule with controlled nutrient release properties as an innovative fertilizer designed for sustainable agriculture. Preparation of the capsules included the following steps: sorption of micronutrients (Cu, Mn, Zn) on eggshells (1) and their immobilization in sodium alginate, with t...

Microplastic is a new type of pollutant, which can act as a carrier for organic contaminants. It affects the migration and bioavailability of chemicals and potentially threatens the ecology. This work investigated the adsorption kinetics, isotherm and influencing factors of 17β-estradiol (E2) on three dominate microplastics. Then, used molecular dy...

Contamination through per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have occurred globally in soil and groundwater systems at military, airport and industrial sites due to the often decades-long periodic application of firefighting foams. At PFAS contaminated sites, the unsaturated soil horizon often serves as a long-term source for sustained PFAS con...

The synthesis of clay-biochar composite has been recognized as an effective way to enhance the removal of pollutants. The interaction between clay mineral and biomass during thermal pyrolysis and the sorption capacity for ionic/nonionic organic containments have not been elaborated. In this study, two types of biochar were obtained from pyrolytic c...

The purpose of this study was to eliminate phosphate (P) from wastewater using MnFe2O4 nanoparticles. BET, TGA/DTG, FTIR, SEM, TEM, VSM, XRD and EDX/Map analyses were used to determine the MnFe2O4 surface properties. The specific surface area of the adsorbent was 196.56 m2/g and VSM analysis showed that the adsorbent has a ferromagnetic property. T...

With huge amount of plastic entering to the environment, microplastic pollution has become a great concern. Microplastic behavior in the environment is important to evaluate its harm to ecosystem and human beings. It has been found that microplastic can be used as a carrier to adsorb and enrich heavy metals or organic pollutants in water or soil. W...

In this discussion, we highlight that the terms sorption and adsorption are often confused and misused in many articles. Even if one thought their formal definition is well known, this does not appear to be the case. We recommend encouragement to adopt the word adsorption only when fully supported by appropriate data and using the sorption terminol...
