Elucidating veterinary antibiotic interactions with soil is important for assessing and mitigating possible environmental hazards. The objectives of this study were to investigate the effects vegetative management, properties, >1000 Da dissolved organic matter (DOM) on sulfamethazine (SMZ) behavior in soil. Sorption experiments performed over a range SMZ concentrations (2.5-50 μmol L) using samples from three soils (Armstrong, Huntington, Menfro), each planted one vegetation treatments:...
Cobalt–nitrogen co-doped carbon nanotubes (Co3@NCNT-800) were synthesized via a facile and economical approach to investigate the efficient degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous environments. This material demonstrated high catalytic efficiency carbamazepine (CBZ) presence peroxymonosulfate (PMS). The experimental data revealed that at neutral pH 7 an initial CBZ concentration 20 mg/L, application Co3@NCNT-800 0.2 g/L facilitated rate 64.7% within 60 min. Mechanistic investigations...
The historic Sanborn Field located on University of Missouri campus at Columbia, Missouri, was designed to demonstrate the importance agricultural practices, such as fertilization, tillage, and crop rotation. Knowledge effect long-term practices soil quality is critical for farmers make better management decisions efficiently sustainably produce crops. This study examined rotation effects activities enzymes including phenol oxidase, peroxidase, dehydrogenase, cellulose, β-glucosaminidase in...
Tropical estuary wetlands are important for aquaculture and wildlife. However, many of them receive large amounts anthropogenic heavy metals annually. Here, the transformation spiked metals, namely, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, effects salinity on their in wetland soils after an eight-month-long incubation under moisture-saturation conditions were studied Pearl River China. Cd exhibited high mobility bioavailability, with 12.2% to 25% existing exchangeable fraction. Other primarily existed...
Knowledge of veterinary antibiotic (VA) transport and persistence is critical to understanding environmental risks associated with these potential contaminants. To understand mobility sulfamethazine (SMZ) sorption processes involved during SMZ in soil, batch experiments were conducted column leaching performed repacked soil columns containing silt loam soils collected from cropland (Crop) an agroforestry (AGF) vegetative buffer system. Bromide (Br − ) was applied as a nonreactive tracer...
Most farms have a centralized location to fill spray tanks with pesticides and flush clean application equipment. These sites, depending on the frequency of use, could be significant sources surface groundwater contamination. One approach minimize this contamination is install treatment system, such as biobed. This study sought construct biobed test effects different biomix materials in enhancing dissipation herbicides widely used crop production. The four types evaluated had mixing ratios...
