The g-MoS2 coated biochar (g-MoS2-BC) composites were synthesized by coating original biochar with g-MoS2 nanosheets at 300°C(BC300)/700°C (BC700). The adsorption properties of the g-MoS2-BC composites for ciprofloxacin (CIP) were investigated with an aim to exploit its high efficiency toward soil amendment. The specific surface area and the pore s...

Biochar is a "green" material that has been widely used in environmental applications for its capability to remove or immobilize contaminants in different environmental media (i.e. soil, water and air) and mitigate climate change. In this study, the feasibility of using KOH enhanced biochar for soil Cd and Pb stabilization was investigated, and the...

Aristolochic acids (AAs) are persistent soil pollutants in the agricultural fields of the Balkan Peninsula that are endemic for Aristolochia clematitis L. This class of carcinogenic and nephrotoxic phytotoxins is taken up by crops through root absorption and contaminates staple foods across the peninsula. Human exposure to AAs via dietary intake ha...

Application of H2O2 in in-situ chemical oxidation (ISCO) for soil remediation has been limited by its rapid decomposition. However, effect of main factors involving in this phenomenon are not well understood. In this contribution, H2O2 decomposition in the six types of natural soils was investigated by kinetic analyses and soil characterizations. T...

Humic acids (HA) play an important role in the distribution, toxicity, and bioavailability of metals in the environment. Humic-like acids (HLA) that simulate geochemical processes can be prepared by NaOH aqueous extraction from hydrochars produced by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). HLA can exhibit properties such as those found in HA from soils, ...

The application of Atrazine in soil has always been a main problem in agriculture because its residuals may maintain in the soil for a long term. In this paper, two strains of Atrazine degrading bacteria (Klebsiella sp. FH-1 and Arthrobacter sp. NJ-1) were used to make biological compound microbial inoculum to repair the Atrazine contaminated typic...

We evaluated the feasibility of using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) coated with polyethylenimine (PEI), a cationic polymer, to remediate radioactive contaminated soil by separating Cs-contaminated clay from the soil. The influences of the solution pH, PEI-to-MNPs mass ratio, and the PEI-MNPs dose on the magnetic separation performance were systemat...

Pour des raisons environnementales et de santé publique, la remédiation des sites et sols pollués est impérative. Une des techniques in-situ utilisées pour dépolluer des sols présentant une pollution aux hydrocarbures, est l’utilisation de mousse liquide. Grâce à son effet bloquant, la mousse crée une barrière entre l’eau et le polluant, et facilit...

Bioremediation has been attracting researchers' attention to develop as a technique to remove the pollution of crude oil in the environment. However, more or stronger novel strains capable of crude oil removal are still required. In this study, the potential of five newly isolated bacterial strains for crude oil abatement was evaluated in the liqui...

Graphene adsorbents have been applied to remove diverse pollutants from aqueous systems. However, the mechanical strength of most graphene adsorbents is low and the fragile graphene sheets are released into the environment. In this study, we prepared carboxylated graphene oxide/chitosan/cellulose (GCCSC) composite beads with good mechanical strengt...
