Plastic litter is widely acknowledged as a global environmental threat, and poor
management and disposal lead to increasing levels in the environment. Of recent concern is …

As a low-cost adsorbent, biochar can be used as a low-cost adsorbent for wastewater
treatment, particularly with respect to treating heavy metals in wastewater. A number of …

Plastic debris, in particular, microplastics and nanoplastics, is becoming an emerging class
of pollutants of global concern. Aging can significantly affect the physicochemical properties …

During the past decade, biochar has attracted immense scientific interest for agricultural and
environmental applications. A broad range of biochars with advantageous properties (eg …

Partitioning of organic pollutants is essential to their fate, mobility and removal from water
and soil. To study the partitioning behavior of selected alkylphenols, bisphenol A, phthalates …

This chapter discusses the microbial community and pollutants associated with Microplastics
(MPs) in the environment, the interactions of MPs with microorganisms and pollutants, and …

Colloids associated with heavy metals are ubiquitous in contaminated groundwater; waste
accumulation at imperfectly sealed landfills can produce large amounts of leachate with …

Leaching behavior of organic contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs) can be altered in the presence of organic amendments through enhanced sorption …

A sequential treatment consisting of coagulation/flocculation followed by transport column
experiment was adopted and used in this work for the treatment of landfill leachate …

This study investigates how pulverized wood-derived biochar affects leaching and release
behavior of Chromium (Cr), Copper (Cu), and Nickel (Ni) from construction and demolition …
