The profiles of trace and major elements in three Odontarrhena species from the ultramafics of Western Iran (O. callichroa, O. penjwinensis and O. inflata) were evaluated to provide detailed information on their soil-plant relationships and potentials for agromining. The mean concentrations of Ni...

Migration of soil pollutants can cause groundwater pollution, which is dominated by the soil adsorption of pollutants. Heavy metals and fluoroquinolone antibiotics exist in the soil and form compound pollution, with different adsorption behaviors in the soil. It may make the levofloxacin (LVFX)...

The reduction process of pollutants by nano zero-valent iron (nZVI) is limited by mass transfer and its effective utilization, and previous studies have ignored the electron loss caused by its oxidative passivation. The carbon-coated structure can effectively inhibit the oxidation of nZVI, but the...

The combined application of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KH₂PO₄) and thermally activated nano serpentine and KH₂PO₄ and thermally activated nano zeolite could immobilize cadmium (Cd) in contaminated soils by increasing soil pH value. The results showed that adding nPS₇₀₀-2.0 (KH₂PO₄ and...

The effectiveness of amendments such as alum [Al₂(SO₄)₃.18H₂O] in reducing phosphorus (P) loss to floodwater has been reported under summer conditions and laboratory-controlled environments, but not under actual spring weather conditions in cold climate regions with high diurnal temperature...

Nanotechnology has emerged as a key empowering technology for agriculture production due to its higher efficiency and accurate target delivery. However, the sustainable and effective application of nanotechnology requires nanomaterials (NMs) to have higher stability and less aggregation/coagulation ...

The interaction between microbes and plants in rhizospheric environment is evident regarding sustainable development in agriculture. Microbes are involved in various metabolic activities in plant systems, which in turn help in plant health improvement. Eventually, plant-microbe interactions are...

Soil erosion and sedimentation are major factors in landscape evolution and river morphology. The erosion resistance of sediments plays an important role in landscape evolution processes because it determines the threshold of an acting force at the initiative sediment motion, and the amount of...

Soil contamination by heavy metal(loid)s is a considerable environmental concern, and immobilization is a promising way to reduce toxicity. In recent years, modified/engineered biochars have gained enormous attention for their use in soil remediation, and various studies have reported notable...

For this study, an electro kinetic method used to eliminate cadmium from the polluted soil. This method is useful at low permeability medium. Several experiments were conducted with variable operating circumstances, using different pH purging solutions. Rice husks were used in this work as an...
