Sulfate radical-based advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) have been applied in soil
remediation to degrade traditional pollutants in situ, such as polychlorinated biphenyls …

Biochars are biological residues combusted under low oxygen conditions, resulting in a
porous, low density carbon rich material. Their large surface areas and cation exchange …

Evidence is accumulating that sorption of organic chemicals to soils and sediments can be
described by “dual-mode sorption”: absorption in amorphous organic matter (AOM) and …

This paper provides an updated review on the subjects, the available alternative to produce
biochar from biomass, quantification and characterization of biochar, the adsorptive capacity …

Microplastic particles are increasingly being discovered in diverse habitats and a host of
species are found to ingest them. Since plastics are known to sorb hydrophobic organic …

Microplastic (MP) has been identified as an emerging vector that transports hydrophobic
organic compounds (HOCs) across aquatic environments due to its hydrophobic surfaces …

A lot of soil (particularly, former industrial and military sites) has been contaminated by
various highly toxic contaminants such as petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic …

The solid− water distribution ratios (K d values) of “native” PAHs, PCBs, and PCDDs in
Boston and New York Harbor sediments were determined using small passive polyethylene …

Produced from incomplete combustion of biomass and fossil fuel in the absence of oxygen,
black carbon (BC) is the collective term for a range of carbonaceous substances …

In aqueous environments, hydrophobic organic contaminants are often associated with
particles. Besides natural particles, microplastics have raised public concern. The release of …
