Increased availability of toxic Al 3+ is the main constraint limiting plant growth on acid soils. Plants adapted to acid soils, however, tolerate toxic Al 3+, and some can accumulate Al in their aerial parts to a significant degree. [...]

Landfill leachate (LL) contains a large amount of toxic compounds and its treatment is currently a matter of concern. In this work, an adapted compost in different airlift bioreactors was used to depurate a complex, toxic and old landfill leachate without treatment (raw leachate) and after pretreatments (coagulation/flocculation; coagulation/flocculation and filtration; coagulation/flocculation, filtration and photo-Fenton process).

Access to clean water for drinking, sanitation, and irrigation is a major sustainable development goal of the United Nations. Thus, technologies for cleaning water and quality-monitoring must become widely accessible and of low-cost, while being effective, selective, sustainable, and eco-friendly. [...]

A warning microanalyzer for the rapid monitoring of different heavy metals in water using Carbon Dots (CDs) as selective optical reagents is presented. The synthesized CDs have different surface functionalization and exhibit selective fluorescence quenching by heavy metal ions, that combined with the use of microfluidics, provide sensitivity, ease of automation and reproducibility to the method.

This study presents the use of the modified coffee husk and coffee lignin as sorbents in the heavy metal ions sorption of Pb(II), Cd(II), Cr(III), and Cu(II) in an aqueous solution. The modification of sorbents was carried out by the impregnation method, using silver nitrate (AgNO3) and sodium borohydride (NaBH4) as a nanoparticles' (NPs) precursor, and reducing agent, respectively.

Rice and rapeseed agricultural wastes, as nonliving biomass, are proposed for heavy metal remediation in polluted effluents (chromium, cadmium, copper and lead). The physicochemical characterization of these biomasses shows that the surface of both sorbents is negatively charged (zeta potential), the surface area of sorbents is 4. [...]
