Improving the existing knowledge on the enantioselectivity of processes affecting chiral pesticide enantiomers in the environment is necessary to maximize the efficacy and minimize the environmental impact caused by the use of pesticides with chiral properties. In this work, the enantioselectivity of the sorption, degradation, and leaching processes of the chiral fungicide metalaxyl in three sl...

Abstract Global concern over lithium (Li) in the environment has significantly increased due to its widespread uses. However, literature review on Li kinetics alkaline soils is scant. Hence, batch experiments were conducted quantify and simulate retention release of sandy clay loam soils. Sorption isotherms fitted using Freundlich Langmuir equations. Second-order two site (SOTS) multi-reaction ...

Four alkaline biosolids were produced from sewage sludge using lime, lime/sodium silicate, cement and cement/sodium silicate. X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), single chemical extraction and sequential extraction were used to determine the characteristics of alkaline biosolids and untreated sewage sludge. The results of extr...
