Application of Biochar to Stabilize Mercury in Riverbank Sediments and Floodplain Soils from South River, VA under Conditions Relevant to Riverine Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-07)Disposal of mercury (Hg) containing products related to industrial activities has led to large-scale watershed contamination across the globe, posing long-term risks to human health due to its persistent properties. Hg in ... -
Control of mercury and methylmercury in contaminated sediments using biochars: A long-term microcosm study
(Elsevier, 2018-05-01)The effectiveness of activated carbon and four types of biochar, switchgrass (300 °C and 600 °C), poultry manure (600 °C), and oak (∼700 °C) with respect to mercury (Hg) and methylmercury (MeHg) control was assessed in ... -
Evaluation of mercury stabilization mechanisms by sulfurized biochars determined using X-ray absorption spectroscopy
(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 ...
