Investigating the simultaneous removal of hydrocarbons and heavy metals by highly adapted Bacillus and Pseudomonas strains
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The status, content and availability of heavy metals and hydrocarbons are highly affected by weathering processes – particularly – in areas characterized by harsh conditions. Their concomitant removal by highly adapted ...
Immobilization of heavy metals by microbially induced carbonate precipitation using hydrocarbon-degrading ureolytic bacteria
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Crude oil contamination introduces multiple threats to human health and the environment, most of which are from toxic heavy metals. Heavy metals cause significant threats because of their persistence, toxicity, and ...
Principles and Applicability of Integrated Remediation Strategies for Heavy Metal Removal/Recovery from Contaminated Environments
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Contamination of agricultural soils with heavy metals present lethal consequences in terms of diverse ecological and environmental problems that entail entry of metal in food chain, soil deterioration, plant growth ...
An overview of heavy metals toxicity in plants, tolerance mechanism, and alleviation through lysine-chelation with micro-nutrients—A novel approach
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article Review)
Abstract: Plants must adapt themselves to the prevailing conditions for their survival, resulting in the acquisition of a wide range of metal tolerance mechanisms. Although many metal elements are essential for the growth ...
Aquaculture sediments amended with biochar improved soil health and plant growth in a degraded soil
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
Sustainable and safe management of aquaculture sediments is of great concern. Biochar (BC) and fishpond sediments (FPS) are rich in organic carbon and nutrients and thus can be used as soil amendments; however, it is not ...
Recent developments in the application of nanomaterials in agroecosystems
(
MDPI AG
, 2020 , Article)
Nanotechnology implies the scientific research, development, and manufacture, along with processing, of materials and structures on a nano scale. Presently, the contamination of metalloids and metals in the soil has gained ...
Microalgae potential to protect from heavy metals-induced carcinogenicity
(
Elsevier
, 2024 , Article)
Toxic elements are present naturally in the environment; however, during the last century, their level has been continuously rising in the air, water, and soil due to anthropogenic activities, including urban runoff, ...
A systematic review on the bioremediation of metal contaminated soils using biochar and slag: current status and future outlook
(
Springer
, 2023 , Article Review)
Heavy metals contaminated soils are posing severe threats to food safety worldwide. Heavy metals absorbed by plant roots from contaminated soils lead to severe plant development issues and a reduction in crop yield and ...
Sustainable alkali-activated binders with municipal solid waste incineration ashes as sand or fly ash replacement
(
Springer Nature
, 2022 , Article)
The present study investigates the feasibility of using two types of municipality solid wastes incineration ashes, namely, fly ash and bottom ash in the production of sustainable alkali-activated binder. The ashes are ...
Use of lignite as a low-cost material for cadmium and copper removal from aqueous solutions: Assessment of adsorption characteristics and exploration of involved mechanisms
(
MDPI
, 2021 , Article)
Lignite, as an available and low-cost material, was tested for cadmium (Cd) and copper (Cu) removal from aqueous solutions under various static experimental conditions. Experimental results showed that the removal efficiency ...
