In this study, a ZnO@Ag2O@Fe3O4 nanocomposite as an innovative magnetic solid phase extraction agent was introduced. The structural and morphological properties of the as-prepared nano-sorbent were characterized using X-ray diffraction analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption–desorption techniques. The synthesized mag...

Previous studies have shown that porous hydrated calcium silicate (PS) is very effective in decreasing cadmium (Cd) content in brown rice. However, it is unclear whether the PS influences cadmium transformation in soil. The present study examined the effect of PS on pH, cadmium transformation and cadmium solubility in Andosol and Alluvial soil, and also compared its effects with CaCO3, acidic p...

Land snails are highly tolerant to cadmium exposure and are able to accumulate soil cadmium independently of food ingestion. However, little information exists on the kinetics of cadmium retention in terrestrial gastropods exposed to an increase in the soil cadmium content, over time. There is also little knowledge about how exposure to cadmium-polluted soils influences shell growth and archite...

phytoremediation is a biological method by which plants are used to remove environmental pollution caused by toxic elements such as the accumulation of cadmium, copper, lead, chromium, etc. from soil. the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) help the plant to increase uptake and translocation of low mobility nutrients and also micronutrients. in this research, arbuscular mycorrhizal inoculant was...

the pollution of soil by heavy metals is considered to be quite a big problem in many areas ofthe world. to limit the accumulation of lead and cadmium from soil in the products, a correct understanding ofthe characteristics and specifications of the translocation of cadmium and lead is necessary. in order to evaluatethe effects of cadmium and lead interaction on zinc and manganese concentration...
