This work proposes an eco-efficient treatment technology for the remediation of a kaolinite-
based clay soil artificially contaminated with hexavalent chromium (50 mg Cr (VI) kg–1 soil) …

The removal of toxic hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) ions is highly demanded. Herein, the
magnetic kaolin embedded chitosan (MKCS) beads with different mass ratios of MK/CS …

Herein, feedstock (pinewood, rice straw, and dairy manure) and pyrolysis temperature (300,
500, and 700° C) were selected as the influencing factors of properties of biochar (BC) to …

In order to properly reuse food waste and remove various contaminants from wastewater,
the development of green, sustainable and clean technologies has demonstrated potential …

In this study, a facile covalent conjugation method was utilized to prepare N, N-bis (2-
hydroxyethyl) glycine (Bicine) modified graphene oxide (GO), which was employed for the …

The high mass transfer resistance of the sediment limits the migration of copper (Cu) ions
generated from the operation of a sediment microbial fuel cell (SMFC), causing difficulty in …
