Phytoremediation is an attractive strategy for cleaning soils polluted with a wide spectrum of
organic and inorganic toxic compounds. Among these pollutants, heavy metals have …

The paper evaluates all important aspects related to V present in coal and its behaviour
during coal combustion with particular attention paid to its potential extraction from ash and …

Despite extensive research and technology to reduce the atmospheric emission of Pb from
burning coal for power generation, minimal attention has been paid to Pb associated with …

To promote the sustainable and clean use of sewage sludge (SS) and bituminous coal (BC),
BC was mixed with SS at 2%, 4% and 16% as sludge-coal briquettes (named by SBC1 …

Co-combustion of sewage sludge (SS) and coal slime (CS) could improve the combustion
properties of the two materials, however, high levels of trace elements (TEs) can be released …

In the process of municipal solid waste (MSW) pyrolysis, kaolinite possesses an outstanding
trapping effect on semi-volatile metal vapors (Pb, Cd) through physical and chemical …

Thermal treatments commonly used to remedy organic-contaminated soils can inadvertently
impact the behavior of non-targeted pollutants, notably heavy metal (loid) s in soil. This study …

Abstract The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is disrupting the world from many aspects.
In this study, the impact of emission variations on PM 2.5-bound elemental species and …

In the field of heavy-metal emission control during coal combustion, kaolinite can be used as
an additive in furnaces to effectively capture semivolatile heavy-metal elements. To …

Air pollution is monitored mainly in urban or industrial areas, even if it is known that in rural
ones, low emission can significantly worsen air quality. Hence, cheap and easily accessible …
