Due to the 'forever' degrading nature of plastic waste, waste management is often complicated. The applications are ubiquitous and inevitable in many scenarios. Current global plastics production ca. 3.5 MMT per year, with current trend, will reach 25,000 by 2040. However, rapid growth manufacture material's inherent resulted accumulation a vast amount garbage. recycling rate <10 %, while large volumes discarded cause environmental ecological problems. Recycling rates for vary widely region...

The main aim of this study was to test the efficiency biochar for Cu removal from synthetic and soil solutions, respectively. produced brewers draff via pyrolysis. Additionally, prepared also activated using 2 M KOH enhance its sorption remove both solutions. Two different aqueous solutions were these experiments: (i) a Cu-nitrate salt with 0.01 NaNO3 (ii) solution obtained Cu-contaminated CaCl2 leaching procedure. Batch column experiments used evaluate (BC) (BCact) Results showed that...

The aim of this study was to evaluate metals (Cd, Cu, Pb and Zn) sorption behavior after biochar application into a metal-contaminated soil. Additionally, two different types originated from the same organic material (contaminated uncontaminated) at rates (1% 2% w/w) were evaluated as novelty experiment. Batch sorption/desorption experiments established compare originating single- multi-element solutions. Zinc one main contaminants in studied soil easily desorbed presence lesser extent by...

Technology-critical elements (TCEs) include most rare earth (REEs), the platinum group (PGEs), and Ga, Ge, In, Nb, Ta, Te, Tl. Despite increasing recognition of their prolific release into environment, soil to plant transfer remains largely unknown. This paper provides an approximation potential for uptake by calculating bioconcentration factors (BCFs), defined as concentration in edible vegetable tissues relative that cultivation soil. Here data were obtained from indoor experiment growing...

Abstract Background Previous studies have suggested that the targeted application of biochars in agricultural soils may benefit soil health and crop production. Physico-chemical properties after biochar addition been explored, but less is known about how microbial parameters respond. Therefore, impact (NB), mineral fertilizer-activated (AB), or fertilizer (MF) on selected chemical lettuce-planted was evaluated a pot experiment. Results In comparison to control, enzymes activities, related...

While vegetable uptake of traditional metal contaminants is a well-studied pathway to human exposure and risk, paucity information exists on the emerging contaminants. This study evaluated Technology-critical elements (TCEs) gallium (Ga), germanium (Ge), niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), thallium (Tl), rare earth (REEs) into lettuce cultivated in 21 European urban soils. For comparison, cadmium (Cd) was also analysed. First, predicted by multiplying soil concentrations with previously established...
