Efficient sorption of perfluoroalkyl acids by ionic liquid-modified natural clay
TL;DR: In this article, a series of ionic liquid (IL)-modified natural clay was applied for clay modification, and the successful intercalation of ILs was verified with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), zeta potential measurement, and elemental analysis.

Effects of EDDS on the Cd uptake and growth of Tagetes patula L. and Phytolacca americana L. in Cd-contaminated alkaline soil in northern China
TL;DR: Pot experiments were conducted to evaluate the enhanced effects of S,S-ethylenediamine disuccinic acid (EDDS) on phytoextraction in alkaline soil by measuring the degradation kinetic characteristics of EDDS and Cd absorption dynamics of Tagetes patula L. patula and Phytolacca americana.

Cadmium and lead immobilization in a calcareous contaminated soil using the cost-effective amendments
TL;DR: In this article, an incubation pot trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness of pumice (P), leca (LE), bentonite (BE), zeolite (Z), biochar 640 °C (BI1), and biochar 420 °C(BI2) as soil amendments to remediate a cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb)-polluted soil.

An Environmentally Friendly Soil Amendment for Enhancing Soil Water Availability in Drought-Prone Soils
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors investigated the effect of ATP on the soil water retention curve, soil saturated hydraulic conductivity, and soil structure in the Loess Plateau and found that applied ATP significantly increased the soil clay content, and the relative change of SS with 3% ATP applied increased by 53.7%.
