Coal fly ash (CFA), a by-product of coal combustion has been regarded as a problematic
solid waste, mainly due to its potentially toxic trace elements, PTEs (eg Cd, Cr, Ni, Pb) and …

Abstract Globally, fly ash (FA), generated in huge quantities from coal fired power plants is a
problematic solid waste. Utilization of FA as an ameliorant for improving soil quality has …

Fly ash generates as the result of coal combustion in thermoelectric power stations whereas
ore mining activities produce mine waste-rock and tailings worldwide. High concentrations …

Fly ash is considered as an environmental hazard worldwide, since it generally contain
organic pollutants, probable toxic metals like Se, As, B, V, Al, Pb, Hg, Cr and radionuclide's …

In this study, we have shown that the plant growth promoting bacterial strain NBRI K24 and
strain NBRI K3 from fly ash (FA) contaminated soil reduce the toxicity of Ni and Cr in …

Coal-based power generation is a principal source of electricity in India and many other
countries. About 15–30% of the total amount of residue generated during coal combustion is …

Abstract Background and aims Silicon (Si) was suggested to enhance plant resistance to
toxic elements, and its beneficial role was mainly based on external and internal plant …

In China, agricultural use of anaerobic digestate sludge is considered a concern due to high
heavy metal content of the sludge. In this study, sequential extraction procedure (SEP) was …

Land degradation is one of the major global environmental issues that need serious
attention. The land itself is a complex system regulating myriads of processes. Any …

Coal fly ashes (CFA) are generated in large amounts worldwide. Current combustion
technologies allow the burning of fuels with high sulfur content such as petroleum coke …
