Evaluation of mercury stabilization mechanisms by sulfurized biochars determined using X-ray absorption spectroscopy
Liu, Peng; Ptacek, Carol J.; Elena, Krista M. A.; Blowes, David W.; Gould, W. Douglas; Finfrock, Y. Zou; Wang, Alana O.; Landis, Richard C. (Elsevier, 2018-04-05)The application of biochar to treat mercury (Hg) in the environment is being proposed on an increasing basis due to its widespread availability and cost effectiveness. However, the efficiency of Hg removal by biochars is ... -
Mercury distribution and speciation in biochar particles reacted with contaminated sediment up to 1030days: A synchrotron- based study
Liu, Peng; Ptacek, Carol J; Blowes, David W; Finfrock, Y. Zou (Elsevier, 2019-04-20)A previous long-term microcosm experiment showed mercury (Hg) in the aqueous phase of contaminated sediment was effectively stabilized through the addition of biochar. The present study focuses on the application of ...
