Unlike organic contaminants, metal (loid) s do not undergo microbial or chemical
degradation and persist for a long time after their introduction. Bioavailability of metal (loid) s …

Immobilization is among the most-suitable strategies to remediate cadmium (Cd)
contaminated sites. Organic additives (OAs) have emerged as highly efficient and …

New value-added uses for solid municipal waste are needed for environmental and
economic sustainability. Fortunately, value-added biochars can be produced from mixed …

Soil is the sink and source of heavy metals (both geogenic and anthropogenic) and plants
are the ecosystem regulators, balancing the chemistry of life on earth. However, roots are …

The main aim of this study was to test the efficiency of biochar for Cu removal from synthetic
and soil solutions, respectively. The biochar was produced from brewers draff via pyrolysis …

Soil contamination with toxic metals has increasingly become a global concern over the past
few decades. Phosphate and carbonate compounds are good passivation materials for Pb …

Regular application of phosphate (P) fertilisers has been identified as the main source of
heavy metal (loid) contamination including cadmium (Cd) in agricultural soils. Some of these …

Mining activity releases toxic metals (TMs) into the soil ecosystem and creates serious
problems for the environment and human beings due to their adverse eco-toxilogical …

Mining activities are among the main sources of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in the
environment which constitute a real concern worldwide, especially in developing countries …

The aim of this study was to evaluate metals (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) sorption behavior after
biochar application into a metal-contaminated soil. Additionally, two different types of …
