The modified biochars enhanced Cr(VI) reduction by 55% (SM-BC-M) compared to manure (29%, SM) and manure-derived biochars (40% reduction, SM-BC). Among the modified biochars, SM-BC-M showed a higher Cr(VI) reduction rate (55%) than PM-BC-M (48%) in Soil 2. Various oxygen-containing surface functional groups such as phenolic, carboxyl, carbonyl, etc. on biochar surface might act as a proton donor for Cr(VI) reduction and subsequent Cr(III) adsorption. This study underpins the immense potential of modified biochar in remediation of Cr(VI) contaminated soils.]]> Thu 16 Aug 2018 13:28:48 AEST ]]> Waste to watt: anaerobic digestion of wastewater irrigated biomass for energy and fertiliser production https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47848 Thu 02 Feb 2023 16:32:49 AEDT ]]> Runoff initiation, soil detachment and connectivity are enhanced as a consequence of vineyards plantations https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30925 −1, 1 h) at plot scale (0.25 m2) to characterize the runoff initiation and sediment detachment. In recent vine plantations (<1 year since plantation; R) compared to old ones (>50 years; O). Slope gradient, rock fragment cover, soil surface roughness, bulk density, soil organic matter content, soil water content and plant cover were determined. Plantation of new vineyards largely impacted runoff rates and soil erosion risk at plot scale in the short term. Tp, Tr and Tro were much shorter in R plots. Tr-Tp and Tro-Tr periods were used as connectivity indexes of water flow, and decreased to 77.5 and 33.2% in R plots compared to O plots. Runoff coefficients increased significantly from O (42.94%) to R plots (71.92%) and soil losses were approximately one order of magnitude lower (1.8 and 12.6 Mg ha−1 h−1 for O and R plots respectively). Soil surface roughness and bulk density are two key factors that determine the increase in connectivity of flows and sediments in recently planted vineyards. Our results confirm that plantation of new vineyards strongly contributes to runoff initiation and sediment detachment, and those findings confirms that soil erosion control strategies should be applied immediately after or during the plantation of vines.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:00 AEDT ]]> Waste recycling by vermicomposting: maturity and quality assessment via dehydrogenase enzyme activity, lignin, water soluble carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous and other indicators https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30224 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:33 AEDT ]]> The effect of environmental conditions and soil physicochemistry on phosphate stabilisation of Pb in shooting range soils https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23911 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:10:03 AEDT ]]> Modeling the effect of green technology innovation and renewable energy on carbon neutrality in N-11 countries?

The results showed that hydrothermal carbonization influences the physicochemical properties of the biosolids, such as promoting pore structure and trace elements below the threshold values for use in agriculture. The spectroscopic techniques demonstrated higher presence of oxygen-containing functional groups (e.g., C-O/O-H) on surfaces of Sewchar than that of biosolids. The Sewchar doses of 10 Mg ha-1 and 60 Mg ha-1 yielded the highest dry biomass for beans and rice respectively. Increasing Sewchar doses negatively correlated with radish dry biomass, as indicated by linear regression equation fitting (p < 0.05). Thus, biomass responses to Sewchar application into the soil varied with Sewchar dose and type of plant. For a proper environmental management, a survey was conducted to assess farmers' perception and acceptance of Sewchar as a soil amendment. The survey revealed that younger farmers who had higher education qualifications were more prone to use Sewchar as soil amendment. Additionally, farmers who would not use Sewchar as soil amendment attributed the highest level of importance to economic criteria, such as fertilizer and freight prices. In the future, studies on a longer term under field conditions should be performed to elucidate the interactions between Sewchar and soil properties on plant growth and to ensure the safe use of Sewchar as a soil amendment.]]> Mon 19 Aug 2019 10:05:27 AEST ]]> Integration of hard and soft supervised machine learning for flood susceptibility mapping https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46256 Mon 14 Nov 2022 15:55:57 AEDT ]]> Examining the effects of green revolution led agricultural expansion on net ecosystem service values in India using multiple valuation approaches https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37959 Mon 12 Jul 2021 11:20:43 AEST ]]> Animal carcass- and wood-derived biochars improved nutrient bioavailability, enzyme activity, and plant growth in metal-phthalic acid ester co-contaminated soils: a trial for reclamation and improvement of degraded soils https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36467 Mon 11 Mar 2024 17:44:29 AEDT ]]> Trade and technological innovation: the catalysts for climate change and way forward for COP21 https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41334 Mon 08 Aug 2022 10:59:21 AEST ]]> Glyphosate use in urban landscape soils: fate, distribution, and potential human and environmental health risks https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39211 2 = 0.873), oxides of Al (R2 = 0.361) and Fe (R2 = 0.126), and contents of clay (R2 = 0.061) and silt (R2 = 0.432) were positively correlated with the distribution coefficient (Kd) of glyphosate, while alkaline pH (R2 = −0.389) and sand content (R2 = −0.343) negatively correlated with the Kd values. Well-decomposed soil OM, consisting of C–H and Cdouble bondO functional groups, enhanced glyphosate sorption, whereas partially decomposed/undecomposed OM facilitated desorption process. Desorption of glyphosate was favoured in seven of nine selected soils due to adverse hysteresis effects (HI = 0.74–1.0). The higher values of leachability index (0.31–1.0) and groundwater ubiquity score (1.60–3.44) calculated for the urban soils indicated the great leaching potential of glyphosate from soil surface to waterbodies. Use of glyphosate on impermeable surfaces might directly contaminate water sources and affect potability of water, non-target biota, and food safety. The calculated values of cancer risk (10−8‒10−12) and hazard quotient (1.47 x 10−6‒4.12 x 10−6) suggested that the human exposure to glyphosate-contaminated soils through dermal, ingestion and inhalation pathways might cause negligible or no carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks to humans. Therefore, glyphosate should be applied judiciously at recommended concentrations in the urban landscapes, mainly on impervious surfaces, to minimize its health impacts in humans and environment.]]> Fri 27 May 2022 10:34:27 AEST ]]> Hydrogeochemical characteristics of groundwater contamination in Guwahati city, Assam, India: Tracing the elemental Threads https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55384 Fri 24 May 2024 10:35:14 AEST ]]> A novel framework for addressing uncertainties in machine learning-based geospatial approaches for flood prediction https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51951 Fri 22 Sep 2023 17:05:37 AEST ]]> Adding worms during composting of organic waste with red mud and fly ash reduces CO2 emissions and increases plant available nutrient contents https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42997 Fri 09 Sep 2022 14:04:02 AEST ]]> Biochar as a potential strategy for remediation of contaminated mining soils: Mechanisms, applications, and future perspectives https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51495 Fri 08 Sep 2023 11:58:00 AEST ]]> Oxidative transformation of iron monosulfides and pyrite in estuarine sediments: implications for trace metals mobilisation https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33161 Fri 07 Sep 2018 16:40:17 AEST ]]> Efficient bioremediation of laboratory wastewater co-contaminated with PAHs and dimethylformamide by a methylotrophic enrichment culture https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50216 Fri 07 Jul 2023 12:23:35 AEST ]]>
