Does powder and granular activated carbon perform equally in immobilizing chlorobenzenes in soil?
Song, Yang; Wang, Fang; Kengara, Fredrick O; Bian, Yongrong; Yang, Xinglun; Gu, Chenggang; Ye, Mao; Jiang, Xin (Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)The objective of this study is to compare the efficacies of powder activated carbon (PAC) and granular activated carbon (GAC) as amendments for the immobilization of volatile compounds in soil. Soil artificially-spiked ... -
Effects of pH and metal ions on oxytetracycline sorption to maize-straw-derived biochar
Jia, Mingyun; Wang, Fang; Bian, Yongrong; Jin, Xin; Song, Yang; Kengara, Fredrick O; Xu, Renkou; Jiang, Xin (Elsevier, 2013-05-30)Biochars produced from biomass residues have been recognized as effective sorbents to hydrophobic compounds, but knowledge on sorption of antibiotics to biochar and its mechanisms are still inadequate. Sorption of ... -
Immobilization of chlorobenzenes in soil using wheat straw biochar
Song, Yang; Wang, Fang; Kengara, Fredrick O; Yang, Xinglun; Gu, Chenggang; Jiang, Xin (American Chemical Society, 2013-04-25)Biochar has shown great potential for immobilizing organic contaminants in soil. In this study, pentachlorobenzene (PeCB), 1, 2, 4, 5-tetrachlorobenzene (1, 2, 4, 5-TeCB), and 1, 2, 4-trichlorobenzene (1, 2, 4-TCB) ... -
The interactive biotic and abiotic processes of DDT transformation under dissimilatory iron-reducing conditions
Jin, Xin; Wang, Fang; Gu, Chenggang; Yang, Xinglun; Kengara, Fredrick O; Bian, Yongrong; Song, Yang; Jiang, Xin (Pergamon, 2015-11-30)Abstract The objective of the study was to elucidate the biotic and abiotic processes under dissimilatory iron reducing conditions involved in reductive dechlorination and iron reduction. DDT transformation was ... -
Isolation and characterization of a toxic metal-tolerant Phenanthrene-degrader Sphingobium sp. in a two-liquid-phase partitioning bioreactor (TPPB)
Wang, Congying; Wang, Fang; Hong, Qing; Zhang, Yinping; Kengara, Fredrick O; Li, Zengbo; Jiang, Xin (2013-10-01)A phenanthrene-degrading strain PHE3, identified as the genus of Sphingobium, was isolated using a two-liquid-phase partitioning bioreactor. More than 96% of the initial amount (up to 100 mg l− 1 silicone oil) of ...
