Nano-manganese oxides-modified biochar for efficient chelated copper citrate removal from water by oxidation-assisted adsorption process.

Removal of chelated copper from wastewater is more difficult than that of copper ions owing to its stable structure, wide range of pH tolerance, and stronger mobility. Copper citrate (CuCA) widely exists in the water system and inevitably poses serious hazards to human health and environment. Biochar as economic functional material has been widely used for environmental applications, especially in wastewater treatment.

Biosafety of cadmium contaminated sediments after treated by indigenous sulfate reducing bacteria: Based on biotic experiments and DGT technique.

Sulfate reducing bacteria (SRB) biostabilization has attracted particular attention due to its ability to prevent and control heavy metal pollution. In this study, biotic experiments (immobilisation test of Daphnia (D.) magna, germination experiment of cucumber seeds, and in vitro experiment using gut juices of Sipunculus (S.
