Conventional soil improvement techniques can lead to permanent soil pollution or emission of carbon dioxide. It is therefore a challenge for engineers to design alternative sustainable and cost-effective grouting techniques. In Microbial Induced Calcite Pr ...
The concern for the presence of micropollutants in surface waters is nowadays increasing. Among them, biocides leached from façades have demonstrated to be particularly ecotoxic. This study deals with these chemicals from a new viewpoint. Instead of analyz ...
The use of green plants specifically chosen or tailored for the remediation of polluted soils and brownfields, the treatment of industrial wastewater or the removal of volatile organic compounds from indoor or outdoor air is becoming essential for sustaina ...
Background, aim and scope Phytoremediation does exploit natural plant physiological processes and can be used to decontaminate agricultural soils, industrial sites, brownfields, sediments and water containing inorganic and organic pollutants or to improve ...
Enhanced reductive dehalogenation is an attractive in-situ treatment technology for chlorinated contaminants. The process includes two acid-forming microbial reactions, that is, fermentation of an organic substrate to hydrogen and short chain fatty acids f ...
Chloroethenes such as tetrachloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) are among the most prevalent contaminants in groundwater. Because of their low aqueous solubility, PCE and TCE are often present as dense non aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) that can act ...
Thousands of chemicals are in daily use; many of these reach the aquatic environment, which serves as a medium of transport and deposition into sediment and organisms. It is often unknown which effects these contaminants, alone or in combination with other ...

Purpose Many agricultural and brownfield soils are polluted and more have become marginalised due to the introduction of new, risk-based legislation. The European Environment Agency estimates that there are at least 250,000 polluted sites in the member sta ...
Photocatalytic degradation of phenol, nalidixic acid, mixture of pesticides, and another of emerging contaminants in water was mediated by TiO2 and iron oxide immobilized on functionalized polyvinyl fluoride films (PVFf-TiO2-Fe oxide) in a compound parabol ...
