Soil vapor extraction (SVE) and bioremediation (BR) are two of the most common soil remediation technologies. Their application is widespread; however, both present limitations, namely related to the efficiencies of SVE on organic soils and to the remediation times of some BR processes. This work aimed to study the combination of these two technologies in order to verify the achievement of the ...

High dispersion Pt nanoparticles supported on 2D Ti3C2X2 (X = OH, F) nanosheets are presented and electro-chemical measurements confirm that the Pt/Ti3C2X2 catalyst shows enhanced durability and improved ORR activity compared with the commercial Pt/C catalyst.

Soil contamination with heavy metals and metalloids has become a serious environmental problem with rapid industrialization and urbanization [1-3]. Generally, the contamination is resulted from anthropogenic activities such as mining, domestic waste discharge, agricultural production and industrial activities. Heavy metals and metalloids such as Cd, Pb, Cr, Cu, Hg, Cs, Se, Zn and As enter the f...

Rapid growth in population, industry, urbanization and intensive agriculture have led to soil water pollution by various contaminants. Nanoremediation has become one of the most successful emerging technologies for cleaning up contaminants due high reactivity nanomaterials (NMs). Numerous publications are available on use NMs removing contaminants, efficiencies often improved modifications with...

This study proposed an integrated valorisation system, by combining adsorption and electro-Fenton processes for fast effective micropollutant remediation of a complex pharmaceutical mixture. The pharmaceuticals venlafaxine, fluoxetine trazodone, commonly detected in the environment (river water sediment), were selected this as target pollutants. Initially, degradation process ternary mixture wa...

RNA interference-mediated gene silencing offers the potential of targeted inhibition of disease-relevant genes. In vivo delivery of RNAi reagents can be obtained by a variety of approaches. Physical delivery methods appear safer and lack side effects. Electro-permeabilization is one of the non-viral methods successfully used to transfer small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) in vitro and in vivo. A pr...

2 Chemical desorption from soil and sediment is of central importance to most environmental concerns including remediation. Des-orption affects chemical fate, toxicity, and associated risk to human and aquatic life as well as the efficiency of most remediation technologies. Desorption is commonly mod-eled as a reversible partitioning process in fate, risk, and remediation models. However, the r...
