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...

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...

Numerous studies on the remediation of metal-contaminated soil by compost focus on the remediation efficiency of compost, however, they have not delved into the issue of nutrients and metal speciation. In this study, the application of municipal solid wastes primary compost (MSW-C), secondary compost (MSW-SC) and the aging compost (MSW-AC) has been...

Biochar can act as "electron shuttle" in soil redox reactions. It is possible that biochar accepts the electrons from low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) in soil and then transfer them to the acceptors, e.g., Cr(VI). This study evaluated the interaction between seven soil LMWOAs and peanut shell biochar (BC) as well as its effect on the ele...

After a field experiment utilising electroosmosis and non-ionic surfactant Tween 80 as a remediation effort on the removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from a long-term asphalt-contaminated soil, the PAH heterogeneity in the soil was yet extensive. This study come as a follow-up to address the following questions: (i) was PAH (re)dist...

Steady efforts in using ultrasonic energy to treat oil-contaminated sand started in the early 2000s until today, although pilot studies on the area can be traced to even earlier dates. Owing to the unique characteristics of the acoustic means, the separation of oil from sand has been showing good results in laboratories. This review provides the co...

This study was aimed to investigate the adsorption and fixation effects of hydroxyapatite (HAP) on lead-contaminated soil. According to the experimental results, the microstructure of hydroxyapatite was observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) showed that OH- and PO43- were the main functional...

In this study, plant (SAP, TAN) and microbial (RAM) biosurfactants were applied to two soils, in single or sequential soil washing. Soil 1 was moderately acidic, with higher content of organic matter and HMs (Cd, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn), and was aged for 24 months. Soil 2 was alkaline, with lower content of organic matter and HMs, and was aged for 1 mon...
