Towards engineering mitigation of leaching of Cd and Pb in co-contaminated soils using metal oxide-based aerogel composites and biochar

Abstract

The remediation of heavy metal contaminated environments and related mechanisms in a comprehensive manner using metal-based nanomaterials can provide a useful resource for academic as well as industrial researchers.

Experimental data from the development of Lymnaea stagnalis embryo test for chemicals hazard assessment

“…Every plate was dedicated to testing a specific cadmium concentration (32, 70, 155, 341, and 750 µg/L of Cadmium), with one plate designated for the control group. Cadmium was chosen as the positive test compound due to its well-studied nature in Biosystems and environment [2] , [3] , [4] and the model's proven sensitivity to the compound. It was also used as reference in the Lyamnea stagnalis OECD reproductive test guideline working as a reference compound for the test development, providing the basis to define the models sensitivity in the current testing conditions when compared to the available test guidelines and models [ 1 , [5] , [6] , [7] ].…”

Application of the Zn0.5Mn0.5Fe2O4–PMMA nanocomposite for efficient removal of complex organic pollutants

“…Among these, adsorption has emerged as a favorable approach for treating dye-containing effluents due to its high efficiency 16 and cost-effectiveness and no secondary pollution generation. [17][18][19] Ferromagnetic nanocomposites (NCPs) have gained great attention recently due to their unique spatial coordinate of z, high adsorption capacity, 20 and high surface area-to-volume ratio. 21 One class of ferromagnetic NCPs are the spinel ferrite nanoparticles, employed in various industries to remove various contaminants, including dyes from wastewater.…”
