Biochar is produced from a wide range of organic materials by pyrolysis, specifically for improvement poor quality soils. One the main issues nowadays in studying biochar as soil amendment to upscale experiments and move short-term, laboratory conditions long-term field trials. This paper presents study, being final step scale-up technology development, on grain husk fibre sludge application with focus two degraded types temperate region. The effects an acidic calcareous sandy agricultural...

The present study examined the chlorophyll content in a 7-day contact time experiment series. Lemna minor was exposed to caffeine, benzophenone, bisphenol A, 3,4-dichlorophenol, metamizole-Na, Na-diclofenac, acetochlor, atrazine, diuron, metazachlor and metolachlor find convenient sensitive response tested chemicals including some emerging micropollutants. results demonstrated differences sensitivity As anticipated industrial pesticides were most toxic. lowest observed effect concentration...

Abstract. Quantifying the impact of biochar on carbon persistence across soil textures is complex, owing to variability in conditions. Using artificial soils with precise textural and mineral compositions, we can disentangle effects from particle size. We show that application significantly reduces early-stage mineralization rates plant residues various (from 5 % 41 clay) but more sandy soils. Clay silt particles alone also reduce C mineralization, magnitude changes negligible compared...

Abstract BACKGROUND Red mud is increasingly considered a valuable by‐product requiring development of new re‐use technologies instead deposition as waste. This paper reports the results microcosm study aiming to reveal beneficial effects Ajka red mud, soil ameliorant, on specific acidic sandy in eastern Hungary. RESULTS The amount mixed into ranged between 0 and 50%. experiment was monitored by an integrated methodology combining physical chemical methods with biological ecotoxicological...

Biochar is used to improve soil fertility and mitigate climate change by carbon sequestration. The potential of using biochar together with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a fertilization technique, offers an alternative way for sustainable agriculture. In the present study acid stress adapted PGPR inoculants were applied in three different quantities order enhance maize crop yield acidic sandy (pH 4.4). objective was monitor effect on biota inoculated PGP bacteria. Soil...

Abstract. Quantifying the impact of biochar on carbon persistence across soil textures is complex, owing to variability in conditions. Using artificial soils with precise textural and mineral composition, we could disentangle effects from particle size. We can show that application significantly reduces early-stage mineralization rates plant residues various (from 5 41 % clay) but more sandy soils. This finding suggests compensate for lack clay promoting C systems. short report contributes...

The lack of high-grade scandium (Sc) ores and recovery strategies has stimulated research on the exploitation non-ore-related secondary sources that have great potential to safeguard critical raw materials supply EU's economy. Waste may satisfy growing global Sc demand, specifically residues from titanium dioxide (TiO2) production. New technologies are being developed for such residues; however, possible environmental impacts intermediary products usually not considered. In order provide a...

Bauxite residue (red mud) is considered an extremely alkaline and salty environment for the biota. We present first attempt to isolate, identify characterise microbes from Hungarian bauxite residues. Four identified bacterial strains belonged Bacilli class, one each Actinomycetia, Gammaproteobacteria, Betaproteobacteria classes, two Alphaproteobacteria class. All three fungi Ascomycota division. Most tolerated pH 8-10 salt content at 5-7% NaCl concentration.

Development of an unconventional test method involves usually the comparison biological responses under a variety conditions. The quality these methods relies on appropriate experimental design. Daphnia magna heartbeat rate as physiological endpoint for assessing aquatic pollution has been minor interest so far; nonetheless, this could be early and sensitive indicator harmful effect micropollutants. Our aim was to set up optimal design test. studied factors were composition medium, age...
