...Published in Environmental Sciences Europe
To realize the integrated remediation of SW/GW and soil in the rural river network area, the integrated remediation in rural river network area project (IR-RRNA), funded by the Ministry of Science and Technology of the People’s Republic of China, has been launched. In eastern China, the rural river network area (RRNA) is an anthropic active area ch...
The Process of Selecting a Method for Identifying Potentially Contaminated Sites—a Case Study in a Municipality in South...
Published in Water, Air, & Soil Pollution
Concerns about the environmental contamination have increased in recent decades. There are numerous potentially contaminated sites worldwide; however, only a few of these are effectively identified. Although there are several methods that can be applied for identification of potentially contaminated sites, these differ in their approaches and consi...
Polyaluminium Chloride and Anionic Polyacrylamide Water Treatment Residuals as a Sorbent for Cd2+ and Zn2+ in Soils
Published in Water, Air, & Soil Pollution
Water treatment residuals produced after addition of polyaluminium chloride and anionic polyacrylamide (PAC-APAM WTRs) were evaluated for the potential to remove Cd2+ and Zn2+ from aqueous solutions by batch adsorption studies. The maximum adsorption capacity obtained from Langmuir modeling was 85.5 mg Cd2+/g PAC-APAM WTRs or 25.6 mg Zn2+/g PAC-APA...
In situ soil flushing to remediate confined soil contaminated with PFOS- an innovative solution for emerging environment...
Published in Chemosphere
PerFluoroOctane Sulfonate (PFOS), is a toxic anthropogenic chemical that has been produced and gradually released into the environment for the past seven decades. An accurate audit of global PFOS contamination and contaminated sites are yet to be published. The available technologies to remediate PFOS contaminated soil are limited and often basic s...
Chemical stabilization of Cd-contaminated soil using fresh and aged wheat straw biochar.
Published in Environmental science and pollution research international
Metal mining and smelting activities can introduce a substantial amount of potentially toxic elements (PTE) into the environment that can persist for an extended period. That can limit the productivity of the land and creates dangerous effects on ecosystem services. The effectiveness of wheat straw biochar to immobilize Cd in contaminated soil due ...
Remediation of lead (II)-contaminated soil using electrokinetics assisted by permeable reactive barrier with different f...
Published in Journal of hazardous materials
Removal of lead (II) (Pb2+) from contaminated soil was investigated using a new-type switchable-array-electrode electrokinetics assisted by permeable reactive barrier (SAE/EK-PRB). The soil pH after treatments with SAE/EK-PRB ranged from 3.5 to 4.8, and the peak values of current density was highest with 3.01 mA/cm2 at voltage gradient 2.5 V/cm. Bo...
The influences of fly ash on stabilization for Cd in contaminated soils.
Published in Environmental science and pollution research international
Soil contaminated with potentially toxic metals (PTMs) has being a global environmental issue, which needs to be addressed on the priority basis. Fly ash (FA) is a kind of low-cost alkaline materials, which has been widely used in remediation of soil contaminated by PTMs, while the effects of FA on the stability for PTMs in contaminated farmland so...
Applications of chitosan in environmental remediation: A review.
Published in Chemosphere
Environmental biotechnology is the use of biotechnology to develop and regulate biological systems for the remediation of environmental contamination. Nature has gifted ample material for remediation of its resources, among which chitosan is one of the most important and largely available biomaterial globally. Chitosan is a biopolymer obtained by d...
Mitigation of Cd accumulation in rice with water management and calcium-magnesium phosphate fertilizer in field environm...
...Published in Environmental geochemistry and health
Pollution of Cd has seriously threatened environmental safety and human health. The field experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of calcium-magnesium phosphate fertilizer and water management on bioavailability of Cd in soils and its accumulation in rice. The results revealed that continuous flooding has enhanced soil pH from 5.10 to 5...
