Response surface methodology to understand the anaerobic biodegradation of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in contaminated soil—significance of nitrate conce...
(2014-09-01)
Abstract Purpose Problems associated with Organochlorine pesticide (OCP)-contaminated
soils have received wide attention. To understand the anaerobic biodegradation process
constraints, innovative mathematical analysis ...
Isolation and characterization of a toxic metal-tolerant Phenanthrene-degrader Sphingobium sp. in a two-liquid-phase partitioning bioreactor (TPPB)
(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 ...
Does powder and granular activated carbon perform equally in immobilizing chlorobenzenes in soil?
(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
(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
(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) ...
