Purpose: Biochar modified with metal oxides has proved high capacities in removing heavy metals in wastewater. There is a limited number of studies exploring the potential of Fe-Mn binary oxides-biochar adsorbents for several heavy metals removal from contaminated water; however, the adsorption behavior and mechanism for Pb2+ ions adsorbed on Fe-Mn binary oxide/ Eichhornia crassipes […]
Purpose The long-term use of manure as a source of nutrients can promote phosphorus (P) leaching, especially in sandy soils. The aim was to evaluate P mobility from organic and mineral sources in columns, linked with the Dystric Xeropsamments adsorption characteristics with long-term organic fertilization regime. Methods The mineral, chemical, and physical properties of the […]
Purpose Riparian zones are identified as mitigation areas of agricultural pollutants to river ecosystems. However, the mitigation mechanisms of these pollutants remain unclear mainly on the effects of different types of riparian vegetation and its organic matter content in the pollutants removal process. This study aims to assess the content of organic matter in soils […]
