Valorization of salt post-modified poultry manure biochars for phosphorus recovery from aqueous solutions: investigations on adsorption properties and involved mechanism
(
Springer
, 2021 , Article)
In this research work, raw poultry manure biochar (RPM-B) was post-modified by two metal salts and then evaluated for P recovery from aqueous solutions in batch mode. The modified biochar characterization showed that RPM-B ...
Mycoremediation of Tunisian tannery wastewater under non-sterile conditions using Trametes versicolor: live and dead biomasses
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Tannery wastewater contains high concentration of pollutants (nitrogen, organic matter, toxic metals, etc.). The present study investigated the efficiency of mycoremediation on the removal of organic and inorganic pollutants ...
Carbon mineralization, biological indicators, and phytotoxicity to assess the impact of urban sewage sludge on two light-textured soils in a microcosm
(
Wiley
, 2020 , Article)
The agricultural reuse of urban sewage sludge (USS) modifies soil properties depending on sludge quality, management, and pedo-environmental conditions. The aim of this microcosm study was to assess C mineralization and ...
Realizing algae value chains in arid environments: an Arabian Peninsula perspective
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
