Lead (Pb) is a toxic metal originating from natural processes and anthropogenic activities
such as coal power plants, mining, waste gas fuel, leather whipping, paint, and battery …

Heavy metal contamination of soil and water is one of the most prominent environmental
issues worldwide. Through bioaccumulation and biomagnification of the food chain, heavy …

The present study investigated biosorption of Pb (II) and Zn (II) using a heavy metal tolerant
bacterium Oceanobacillus profundus KBZ 3-2 isolated from a contaminated site. The effects …

As a new bioremediation technology for toxic metals, microbiologically induced calcite
precipitation (MICP) is gradually becoming a research focus. This study investigated the …

Manganese (Mn), as a cofactor of multiple enzymes, exhibits great significance to the human
body, plants and animals. It is also a critical raw material and alloying element. However …

Abstract Nowadays, MICP (Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation) technology has broad
application prospects in civil engineering, such as sand consolidation, crack healing in …

The use of a biological dust suppressant for the prevention of mine dust was explored. A
biological dust suppressant was prepared with Bacillus pasteurii, CaCl 2 and urea as raw …

Zinc plant leach residues (ZPLRs) are hazardous solid wastes generated from zinc metal
production owing to their substantial contents of lead (Pb), a toxic heavy metal. This study …

Kitchen waste and wind erosion are two worldwide environmental concerns. This study
investigated the feasibility of using kitchen waste for Sporosarcina pasteurii cultivation and …

Abstract The former Pb–Zn mining town of Kabwe in central Zambia is ranked amongst the
worst polluted areas both in Africa and in the world. The fine dust particles from the ISF and …
