Rare earth elements (REEs) are among the most important raw materials in developing new
high-tech devices. There are many ways to recover REE ions from diverse sources. A new …

Biosorption is a low-cost green technology for water pollution decontamination. Recently,
new adsorbent materials (raw or modified) were synthesized and tested in a wide variety of …

Tetracycline (TC), a widely used antibiotic, is frequently detected in soil environments. It has
a strong tendency to form complexes with metals, including iron (oxyhydr) oxide. In this …

Tetracycline (TC) is a widely used antibiotic. Ferrihydrite and goethite are representative of
amorphous and crystalline iron oxide minerals (IOMs). In this paper, the mechanisms …

Purpose The size of soil particles strongly affects the accumulation and adsorption of heavy
metals which partly controls the co-transport of heavy metals by soil colloids. However, the …

Understanding the transport of biochar and heavy metals is important for evaluation of the
long-term stability and ecotoxicity of heavy metals after biochar remediation. In this study, 13 …

To investigate the influence of grape-pruning-residue (GPR) biochar on cadmium (Cd), lead
(Pb), copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) immobilization in a contaminated soil, a laboratory study was …

High concentration of labile metals in soil directly affects soil quality, water health and
human safety. Decreasing mobility of metals, especially in contaminated soils, by cost …

The development of a novel type of high-efficient biochar (BC) is important for the removal of
tetracycline (TC). In this study, a bimetallic nickel/copper-loaded BC (Ni/Cu-BC) was …

The interactions between organic pollutants and iron minerals play an important role in their
environmental fate. In this study, the effects of low-molecular-weight organic acids …
