Engineered biochars are promising candidates in a wide range of environmental
applications, including soil fertility improvement, contaminant immobilization, wastewater …

Arsenic, one of the elements having most terrible impact on the human being, is threatening
the world continuously. It exists in the combined form in rocks under earth which on …

Removal of arsenic (As) from water supplies is needed to reduce As exposure through
drinking water and food consumption in many regions of the world. Magnetite nanoparticles …

Oxides and their precursors have been extensively studied, either singly or in combination
with other amendments promoting sorption, for in situ stabilization of metals and As in …

The spread of contaminants in soil can be hindered by the soil stabilization technique.
Contaminant immobilizing amendments decrease trace element leaching and their …
