Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been detected in a variety of environmental media, and they continuously introduced into the environment for industrial reasons, despite their harmful impact upon ecological health. Considering adverse effects PCBs, many researchers begun to analyze remediation technologies PCB-contaminated soil. In this study, rise fall as well physical chemical properties...

Phytoremediation is a technology that uses plants for the remediation of the contaminated soils, sediments, tailings, and groundwaters. In this work, the ability of TrifoliumAlexanderium for the phytoremediation of the tailings soil in the Anjir-Tange coal washing plant was investigated. For this purpose, Trifolium sp. was cultivated in three soils consisting of the tailings dam, an agricultura...

Biochar remediation of soil: linking biochar production with function in heavy metal contaminated soils | A. Taraqqi-A-Kamal, Christopher J. Atkinson, Aimal Khan, Kaikai Zhang, Peng Sun, Sharmin Akther, Yanrong Zhang Agricultural Journals

Soil with heavy metals’ contamination has caused worldwide concern, and there is an increasing interest in the application of washing agents for remediation soils contamination. The review summarizes recent findings about soil different agents. For technologies, solubilizing capability, toxicity, biocompatibility are essential concerns. Washing can enhance desorption removal from soil. Inorgani...

Arsenic (As) is an ubiquitous trace metalloid found in all environmental media. Its presence at elevated concentrations in soils derives from both anthropogenic and natural inputs. Arsenic is a toxic and carcinogenic element, which has caused severe environmental and health problem worldwide. Technologies currently available for the remediation of arsenic-contaminated sites are expensive, envir...

Biosurfactants are a unique class of compounds that have been shown to have a variety of potential applications in the remediation of organic- and metal-contaminated sites, in the enhanced transport of bacteria, in enhanced oil recovery, as cosmetic additives, and in biological control. However, little is known about the distribution of biosurfactant-producing bacteria in the environment. The g...

The Yellow River is the most important water resource in northern China. In the recent past, heavy metal contamination has become severe due to industrial processes and other anthropogenic activities. In this study, riparian soil samples with varying levels of chromium (Cr) pollution severity were collected along the Gansu industrial reach of the Yellow River, including samples from uncontamina...
