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.
M.E. Gonzalez,Mara Cea,Jorge Medina,A. González,María Cristina Diez,Paula Cartes,Carlos M. Monreal,Rodrigo Navia +7 more
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
M.S. Ureta-Zañartu,P. Bustos,Cristhian Berríos,María Cristina Diez,María de la Luz Mora,Claudio Gutiérrez +5 more
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.
Francisca Acevedo,Leticia Pizzul,M.dP. Castillo,María Eugenia González,Mara Cea,Liliana Gianfreda,María Cristina Diez +6 more
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.
