Understanding adsorption and biodegradation in granular activated carbon for drinking water treatment: a critical review
Drinking water treatment plants use granular activated carbon (GAC) to adsorb and remove
trace organics, but the GAC has a limited lifetime in terms of adsorptive capacity and needs …

Symbiotic role of Glomus mosseae in phytoextraction of lead in vetiver grass [Chrysopogon zizanioides (L.)]
Lead (Pb) has limited solubility in the soil environment owing to complexation with various
soil components. Although total soil Pb concentrations may be high at a given site, the …
