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 ... -
Data on removal kinetics of pharmaceutical compounds, artificial sweeteners, and perfluoroalkyl substances from water using a passive treatment system containing zero-valent iron and biochar
(Elsevier, 2019-12)The data presented in this paper relate to the research paper “Removal of pharmaceutical compounds, artificial sweeteners, and perfluoroalkyl substances from water using a passive treatment system containing zero-valent ... -
Effect of composting and amendment with biochar and woodchips on the fate and leachability of pharmaceuticals in biosolids destined for land application
(Elsevier, 2022-03)Land application of biosolids can improve soil fertility and enhance crop production. However, the occurrence and persistence of pharmaceutical compounds in the biosolids may result in leaching of these contaminants to ... -
Mercury distribution and speciation in biochar particles reacted with contaminated sediment up to 1030days: A synchrotron- based study
(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 ... -
Removal of Perchlorate, Pharmaceutical Compounds, Artificial Sweeteners, and Perfluoroalkyl Substances from Water Using Photocatalytic and Passive Treatment Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2017-07-12)The persistence and widespread occurrence of emerging contaminants (ECs) such as perchlorate (ClO4-), pharmaceutical compounds, artificial sweeteners, and perfluoroalkyl substances in the environment has received increasing ... -
Removal of pharmaceutical compounds, artificial sweeteners, and perfluoroalkyl substances from water using a passive treatment system containing zero-valent iron and biochar
(Elsevier, 2019-11-15)Emerging contaminants are widely detected and persistent in environmental waters. Advanced oxidation processes are among the most effective methods for removing emerging contaminants from water; however, high energy ... -
Stabilization of Mercury in River Water and Sediment Using Biochars
(University of Waterloo, 2016-11-29)Mercury (Hg) is a common contaminant in air, oceans, lakes, rivers, soils, and sediments as elemental, inorganic and organic forms. Organic Hg (e.g., methylmercury (MeHg)), which is much more toxic than other forms and can ...
