This paper reports the effects of single and combined application of biochar and phosphate fertilizer on immobilization of heavy metals in e-waste-contaminated soils. The results showed that combined amending biochar and phosphate fertilizer improved physical and chemical characteristics of soil but resulted in ammonium nitrogen loss. Biochar combi...

The present work aimed to evaluate the effects of commercial fungicides containing the active compounds from the triazole group—tebuconazole (TBZ) and difenoconazole (DFZ)—and dicarboximide group—procymidone (PRD) and iprodione (IPD) on the mitotic cycle of the plant model Lactuca sativa L. These active compounds have been present in foods sampled ...

Algal blooms are one of the greatest aquatic environmental concerns, and the control of algal blooms has become a great challenge in recent years. In this study, we evaluated the effects of Bidens pilosa plant extracts in comparison to those of several widespread plants, including rice (Oryza sativa), Pistia stratiotes, Eichhornia crassipes, and Pt...

Membrane filtration techniques are distinguished among methods for wastewater treatment and fully correspond to the requirements of the green concept of chemistry and production. The limiting factor for greater application of these methods is the phenomenon of fouling and the decline of the permeate flux. In this study, polynomial neural network ba...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute and chronic effects caused by exposure to the 2,4 dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D)-based commercial herbicide Amina Zamba® on Physalaemus albonotatus tadpoles from Gosner stage 25. The lethal concentration (LC50) was determined after exposure to different concentrations of Amina Zamba® (350 to 2400 ...

The immobilized algae Sargassum vulgare was used as biosorbent for Fe3+ removal through a batch and continuous system in order to study the biosorption capacity and to establish a new method of the valorization of this waste. The kinetic data could be described by the pseudo first-order and pseudo second-order kinetic models. The batch equilibrium ...

Environmental fate and impacts of graphene oxide (GO) nanoparticles are strongly influenced by their subsurface behaviors. The present work examined the aggregation and transport behaviors of GO in saturated sand columns under different temperature (6 and 24 °C), surfactant concentration (0.04% and 0.4%), cation valence, and electrolyte concentrati...

The goal of the study was to assess the sorption properties of calcined eggshells (CEs) as a P reactive media filter. The CEs were calcined in a temperature of 900 °C. A double stage test was performed: batch studies (kinetic and equilibrium) and small-scale column experiment. The estimation of optimal mass ratio of CEs for perspective usage was th...

The aim of this paper is to select feasible agricultural straws as high-quality sustained-release carbon source and examine the effect of determined agricultural organic waste on improving denitrification efficiency. Five kinds of agricultural straws, i.e., the rice straw, the corn straw, the wheat straw, the broomcorn straw, and the reed straw, we...

Copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) are ordinary heavy metals. Unreasonable development and utilization of these heavy metals will cause severe pollution to the soils and consequently bring damage to human health. Therefore, recovering soils polluted by heavy metals is crucial. An indoor pot experiment was carried out involving seven treatments, namely, l...
