This paper reviews the development of ex-situ soil treatment technologies over the last 20 years, against the background of developing legislation and market forces. Legislation along the lines of site remediation, soil treatment, landfilling and reuse was developed and improved in the eighties and nineties. In addition, substantial budgets were made available by the national government to tack...

In recent years, copper-based nanomaterials have gained significant attention for their practical applications due to cost-effectiveness, thermal stability, selectivity, high activity, and wide availability. This review focuses on the synthesis extensive of copper in environmental catalysis, addressing knowledge gaps pollution management. It highlights advancements using remediation heavy metal...

Soil contamination is a major threat to the sustainability of agricultural fields and safety food production. This paper presented remediation techniques, including surface covering, encapsulation, thermal restoration, stabilization, solidification, phytoremediation, bioremediation, combined remediation. Bioremediation, which uses microorganisms break down contaminants, has gained popularity du...

photodegradation of dicamba, an ionizable herbicide, using tio2 supported on hzsm-11 zeolite was investigated. four photocatalysts with different weight percentages (wt%) of tio2 were evaluated: 3%, 10%, 30% and 50%. the effects of the catalyst concentration, the initial ph value and the repeatability of the photocatalytic activity after multiple cycles of reuse were also evaluated. results sho...

hexavalent chromium is mobile and hazardous in the environment. electrokinetic remediationof chromium (iv)-contaminated soils is intended either to remove or to reduce cr (vi) to cr (iii). this studyexamines the effectiveness of utilizing edta and acetic acid solutions as alternative electrolytes in theelectrokinetic (ek) process, with coupled nano-scale zero-valent iron (nzvi) as a barrier for...

Natural wood has been used for construction, fuel, and furniture thousands of years because its versatility, renewability, aesthetic appeal. However, new opportunities are arising as researchers have developed ways to tune the material's optical, thermal, mechanical, ionic transport properties by chemically physically modifying wood's naturally porous structure chemical composition. Such modifi...

BACKGROUND Cognitive remediation (CR) is a psychological therapy, effective in improving cognitive performance and functioning in people with schizophrenia. As the therapy becomes more widely implemented within mental health services its longevity and uptake is likely to depend on its feasibility and acceptability to service users and clinicians. AIMS To assess the feasibility and acceptabili...

Remediation Therapy CRT is designed to improve memory and boost thinking power. Cognitive Remediation Therapy for Schizophrenia: Theory and Practice. Www.omh.state.ny.usomhwebcogdysmanualcogdyshndbk.pdf.Abstract. Purpose: Cognitive deficits in schizophrenia mainly affect memory, attention and executive functions. Cognitive remediation is a technique derived from.Cognitive remediation therapy ai...

BACKGROUND Cognitive deficits are a core feature of schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders and are associated with decreased levels of functioning. Behavioural interventions have shown success in remediating these deficits; determining how best to maximise this benefit while minimising the cost is an important next step in optimising this intervention for clinical use. AIMS To examine ...
