Removal of heavy metals from real mine tailings coupling electrokinetic soil flushing and Bioleaching

Acosta-Hernández I., Muñoz Morales M., Rodríguez Romero L., Villaseñor Camacho J., (Corresponding) Fernandez-Morales F.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

In the present work, polluted mine tailings from the abandoned Pb/Zn mine of San Quintín (Ciudad Real, Spain) have been treated by an innovative in-situ bioleaching process. Bioleaching uses the capacity of certain microorganisms of oxidizing iron and/or reduce sulphur which enhance the process of...Read more

Chromium (VI) and nickel removal by resin supported nanomagnetite: column experiments

(Corresponding) Mystrioti C., Papassiopi N., Xenidis A.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Magnetite is a mixed-valent iron oxide with magnetic properties, which is considered as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of Cr(VI) from the aquatic environment. However nanomagnetite possesses difficulties for in situ remediation applications due to clogging effects and high separation cost...Read more

Keywords:

nanomagnetite, cationic resin, flow conditions, column tests, Cr(VI) removal.

Using CO2- induced magnesium carbonate as environmental friendly additives for petroleum decontamination sandy soils

(Corresponding) Abdeh Keykha H., Mavroulidou M., Mohamadzadeh H.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Chemical pollutants, including petroleum contaminations causes soil pollution due to improper transportation, leakage, or storage. Several methods for soil decontamination have been presented according to the type of soil and their level of pollution. In choosing the appropriate method and...Read more

Cultivation of milk thistle in Pb-contaminated urban soils

(Corresponding) Papadimou S., BARBAYIANNIS N., GOLIA Ε.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

In order to remediate heavy metal-contaminated soils of urban areas, we conducted an experiment using a pharmaceutical phytic species such as milk thistle (Silybum marianum (L.) Gearn.). The experiment was carried out using two different soil samples (one acid and one alkaline) from urban areas...Read more

Cultivation of fiber crops for sustainable soil remediation and biobased raw material production for industrial uses

(Corresponding) Kotoula D., Karaviti T., Gorgiou P., Alexopoulou E., Papazoglou E.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The contamination of agricultural soils with toxic metals is an escalating issue, posing hazards to both wildlife and human populations across vast land areas. The objective of the FORTE project is to address this issue by cultivating industrial hemp, flax and kenaf on contaminated mining and...Read more

The effects of plant biostimulant and mycorrhiza applications on industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) growth and phytoremediation performance

Karaviti T., Kotoula D., Georgiou P., (Corresponding) Papazoglou E.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a fast-growing lignocellulosic crop suitable for the phytoremediation of heavy metals, radionuclides, and organic contaminants on polluted marginal lands. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of plant biostimulant and mycorrhiza...Read more

Plastic to microplastic in the United Arab Emirates – plastic bottle caps in a hot, arid environment

Selem B., Alkarbi A., Alhosani A., Ahmad F., Elemam M., Iftikhar S., Mourad A., (Corresponding) Thiemann T.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The degradation of plastic bottle tops as a common contributor to plastic waste in the environment was assessed under the hot, arid conditions of the hinterland of the United Arab Emirates. 500 bottles tops were collected from 5 different locations in the Al Ain area and their surface oxidation...Read more

Evaluation of phytotoxicity of landfill leachates after treatment with UV radiation based processes

Grilla E., Isari E., (Corresponding) Kokkinos P., Parthenidis P., Evgenidou E., Lambropoulou D., Kalavrouziotis I.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The aim of this study is to investigate the ability of reuse landfill leachates after advanced treatment in agriculture. UV/Fenton and Fenton processes were applied in the treatment of a stabilized (L2) and a medium (L1) landfill leachate. In addition to above data, phytotoxicity tests were...Read more

A comprehensive monitoring approach to evaluate the impact of an urban landfill on a naturally reducing aquifer

(Corresponding) Preziosi E., Parrone D., Frollini E., Ciotoli G., Sciarra A., Ruggiero L., Ghergo S.

Topic:

Soil and groundwater contamination and remediation

The processes leading to high levels of arsenic, iron, and manganese in a naturally reducing aquifer beneath a landfill are investigated. Traditional groundwater monitoring (physical-chemical parameters, major and trace inorganic compounds, organic compounds) has been complemented with the analysis...Read more
