In this study, a functionally stable insoluble Cu/Fe nanoparticles (Cu/Fe NPs) were synthesized and applied denitrification with different contaminants. The results showed that 50 mg/L Cu/Fe NPs increased NO3--N reduction rate up to 14.3 mg/(L·h) about 3 folds compared with the control system (4.7 mg/(L·h)), and Cu/Fe NPs exhibited excellent restorative e ...

Chromium, being among the most toxic heavy metals, continues to demand immediate attention in the remediation of Cr-contaminated environments. In this study, a strain of LBA36 (Bacillus toyonensis) was isolated from heavy metal contaminated soil in Luanchuan County, Luoyang City, China. The reduction and adsorption rates of LBA36 in 30 mg·L-1 Cr-containin ...

Ice can serve as a significant temporary repository and conveyance mechanism for microplastics (MPs). MPs present in the water column can become entrapped within developing ice formations, subsequently being sequestered and transported by ice floes. With changing temperatures, MPs stored in ice can be released back into the environment, while freezing con ...
