The contamination of aquatic sediments with metals is a widespread environmental
problem. Coastal aquatic ecosystems with low hydrodynamics need to be periodically …

Global governance of soil resources as well as revitalizations and remediation of degraded
areas seem to be necessary actions for sustainable development. A great deal of effort has …

In this study, the feasibility of using zero-valent iron (ZVI) and Fe 3 O 4-loaded biochar for Pb
immobilization in contaminated sandy soil was investigated. A 180-day incubation study …

Existing schemes of solid waste handling have been improved implementing advanced
systems for recovery and reuse of various materials. Nowadays, the 'zero waste'concept is …

Soil washing with natural chelators to remediate metal-contaminated soils has been gained
attention by researchers. However, the abilities of the chelators to remediate the multiple …

The present study focuses on soil washing enhancement via soil pretreatment with
nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) for the remediation of potentially toxic elements. To this …

Batch experiments were conducted with a heavy metals and arsenic co-contaminated soil
from an abandoned mine to evaluate the feasibility of a remediation technology that …

The extraction efficiency of heavy metals from soils using three forms of gamma poly-
glutamic acid (γ-PGA) as the washing agents was investigated. Controlling factors including …

Soil washing is an efficient method to remove heavy metals from contaminated soils;
however, soil properties can be altered during remediation processes. Therefore, changes …

This paper describes a feasibility study of physical soil washing techniques to separate
potentially toxic elements, such as As, Cu, Hg, Pb and Sb, in a brownfield affected by pyrite …
