Journal ArticleDOI

Bioaccessibility and health risk of arsenic and heavy metals (Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn and Mn) in TSP and PM2.5 in Nanjing, China

TL;DR: Values of hazard quotient and hazard index indicated the non-carcinogenic risks from the studied metal(loid)s to children via ingestion, dermal contact and inhalation pathways in Nanjing given the present air quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Batch and column sorption of arsenic onto iron-impregnated biochar synthesized through hydrolysis.

TL;DR: Fe-impregnated biochar can be used as a low-cost filter material to remove arsenic from aqueous solutions and is suggested to be mainly controlled by the chemisorption mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biochar technology in wastewater treatment: A critical review.

TL;DR: It can be concluded that biochar technology represents a new, cost effective, and environmentally-friendly solution for the treatment of wastewater.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioaccessibility and health risk of arsenic, mercury and other metals in urban street dusts from a mega-city, Nanjing, China.

TL;DR: Both Hazard Quotient values for single elements and Hazard Index values for all studied elements suggested potential non-carcinogenic health risk to children, but not to adults and SBET-extractable contents of elements were significantly correlated with their total contents and the dust properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Removal of lead, copper, cadmium, zinc, and nickel from aqueous solutions by alkali-modified biochar: Batch and column tests

TL;DR: In this article, a modified biochar was obtained through slow pyrolysis of hickory wood and then further modified with NaOH to improve surface area, cation exchange capacity, and thermal stability.
