Abstract Knowledge about the behavior and reactions of separate soil components with
trace elements (TEs) and their distribution coefficients (K ds) in soils is a key issue in …

In this review, chemical and biological parameters are discussed thatstrongly influence the
speciation of heavy metals, their availability tobiological systems and, consequently, the …

Remediation of heavy metal–contaminated soil and water bodies necessitates the
continuous development of effective decontamination techniques. To address this issue …

Purpose Biochar derived from waste biomass is now gaining much attention for its function
as a biosorbent for environmental remediation. The objective of this study was to determine …

Biochar (BC) produced from agricultural crop residues has proven effective in sorbing
organic contaminants. This study evaluated the ability of dairy-manure derived biochar to …

The physicochemical properties and adsorption capacities of yak manure biochar (SP350-
YMB) and modified yak manure biochar by H 2 O 2 (AC-YMB) were investigated. Results …

The solid–liquid interface reaction between phosphate rock (PR) and metals (Pb, Cu, and
Zn) was studied. Phosphate rock has the highest affinity for Pb, followed by Cu and Zn, with …

The ammonia and nitrate are one of the most common groundwater contaminants present in
the rural areas. Therefore it is necessary to remove ammonia and nitrate from water. There …

The effectiveness and mechanism of nano-hydroxyapatite particles (nHAp) in immobilizing
Pb and Cd from aqueous solutions and contaminated sediment were investigated. The …

Batch experiments were performed to evaluate the combined effects of ionic activity, pH, and
contact time on the cadmium sorption in three different minerals, vermiculite, zeolite, and …
