Journal ArticleDOI

Biological aspects involved in the degradation of organic pollutants

TL;DR: In this article, a simple and effective system (biobed) to minimize environmental contamination from pesticide manipulation, especially when filling the spraying equipment, a typical point source of contamination, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fungal diversity and use in decomposition of environmental pollutants.

TL;DR: A critical review of the actual state of fungal activities on environmental pollutants, fungal diversity, the use of fungi in the degradation of chemical pollutants, enzyme degrading systems and perspectives on the useof fungi in bioremediation and unexplored research is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of biodegradable polymers as encapsulating agents for the development of a urea controlled-release fertilizer using biochar as support material.

TL;DR: The crop yield was negatively affected by all developed CRFs using biochar compared with the traditional fertilization, and the highest concentration of N in the leachates was the nitrate form.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrooxidation of 2,4-dichlorophenol and other polychlorinated phenols at a glassy carbon electrode

TL;DR: In this paper, a dual mechanism where one pathway yields a quinone-like species and the other one leads to insoluble polymers that passivate the electrode surface is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Degradation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons by free and nanoclay-immobilized manganese peroxidase from Anthracophyllum discolor.

TL;DR: Overall results indicate that nanoclay, a carrier of natural origin, is a suitable support material for MnP immobilization, and immobilized MnP shows an increased stability to high temperature, pH and time storage, as well as an enhanced PAHs degradation efficiency in soil.
