Source and background threshold values of potentially toxic elements in soils by multivariate statistics and GIS-based mapping: a high density sampling survey in the Parauapebas basin, Brazilian Amazon
(Springer, 2020)
A high-density regional-scale soil geochemical survey comprising 727 samples (one sample per each 5 � 5�km grid) was carried out in the Parauapebas sub-basin of the Brazilian Amazonia, under the Itacai�nas Basin Geochemical ...
Quantification of groundwater-agricultural soil quality and associated health risks in the agri-intensive Sutlej River Basin of Punjab, India
(Springer, 2020)
The quality of drinking water and agricultural soil significantly affects the health of residents of the area. The quality of groundwater used as drinking and irrigation water along with agricultural soil of an agri-intensive ...
Geochemical mapping in stream sediments of the Carajas Mineral Province: Background values for the Itacaiunas River watershed, Brazil
(Elsevier, 2020)
Multi-elemental analysis of high-density (regional-scale) geochemical surveys is an important strategy for multi-purpose applications, particularly in addressing geochemical background concentrations in different sampling ...
Water chemistry and estimation of background levels of elements in surface water bodies from a protected area in the vicinity of Fe deposits, Southeastern Amazon
(Taylor and Francis Inc., 2020)
This paper aimed to provide the knowledge of water chemistry and quality and background values of the elements in surface waters around the Fe-ore deposits of N3 and N4WSul of Serra dos Carajas, Brazil. Water samples were ...
Multivariate statistics and geochemical approaches for understanding source-sink relationship - a case study from close-basin lakes in Southeast Amazon
(Elsevier, 2020)
Multivariate statistical approaches were applied on geochemical data of lake sediments and the catchment basin materials (Al-enriched crusts and soils) from four upland lakes (namely LB1, LB2, LB3, and LB4) in the Serra ...
Degradation of chlorpyrifos in soil using laccase immobilized iron oxide nanoparticles and their competent role in deterring the mobility of chlorpyrifos
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Covalent-immobilization of the laccase enzyme onto the iron oxide nanoparticles was achieved using N-(3-Dimethylaminopropyl)-N?-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDAC) as cross-linkers. The presence of sulphur moeity in the ...
Green fabrication of ZnO nanoparticles using Eucalyptus spp. leaves extract and their application in wastewater remediation
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
The present study explored removal of carcinogenic cationic and anionic dyes from aqueous medium using green fabricated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). The ZnO-NPs were synthesized employing biogenic green reduction ...
Batch fed single chambered microbial electrolysis cell for the treatment of landfill leachate
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
A fed batch membraneless microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) was investigated for treating combined leachate and dairy wastewater at an applied voltage 0.8 V and hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 48 h. The COD (chemical ...
Evaluating the role of phenology in managing urban invasions: A case study of Broussonetia papyrifera
(Elsevier GmbH, 2020)
Multidisciplinary approaches are required for the management of invasive woody species in urban areas. In this context, phenological studies are a useful tool to understand tree development and devise suitable management ...
Biohythane production from food processing wastes – Challenges and perspectives
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
The food industry generates enormous quantity of food waste (FW) either directly or indirectly including the processing sector, which turned into biofuels for waste remediation. Six types of food processing wastes (FPW) ...
