The study of pollutants found in biochar and its effects on agricultural soil was conducted in this paper. The aim of the research was to analyse organic and inorganic pollutants found in biochar which either originate from the biomass itself or are formed ...
The soluble fraction of atmospheric transition metals is particularly associated with health effects such as reactive oxygen species compared to total metals. However, direct measurements of the soluble fraction are restricted to sampling and detection uni ...
Water pollution by heavy metals is of increasing concern due to its devastating effects on the environment and on human health. For the removal of heavy metals from water sources, natural materials, such as spent-coffee-grains or orange/banana/chestnut pee ...
The emissions of heavy metals have peaked in the second half of the 20th century in central Europe, and so have their depositions. Moreover, soil properties have changed through acidification, which is expected to impact the mobility and availability of tr ...
Air pollution is a major environmental health risk and it contributes to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and excess mortality worldwide. The adverse health effects have been associated with the inhalation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and indu ...
The generation of catalyst design tools is important for developing both economically and environmentally friendly reactions. This thesis focuses on the use and development of such a tool, molecular volcano plots, which have the ability to estimate catalyt ...
Determination of the levels of heavy metal ions would support assessment of sources and pathways of water pollution. However, traditional spatial assessment by manual sampling and off-site detection in the laboratory is expensive and time-consuming and req ...
Aquatic oligochaetes, comprising a large number of species showing various degrees of resistance to chemical pollution, are recognized as valuable bioindicators of sediments’ quality. In the Geneva area (Switzerland), oligochaete tools were previously test ...
This poster was presented at the IUTAM Symposium on Data-driven mechanics, taking place in Paris, France in Octoboer 2022. It shows a proof-of-concept for a new application of Data-Driven Computational Mechanics (DDCM): using it as a new type of adaptive r ...
Transition metal catalyzed C-H activation plays a major role in modern organic chemistry, affording mild, selective and atom-efficient protocols. Most of current developments in the field rely on the use of several precious metals. As a consequence, an int ...
