1. Interaction of Lead and Calcium with Biochar Produced from Cassava Waste: Perspectives for Agricultural and Environmental Application
Biochar from slow pyrolysis under controlled conditions is favorable in the transformation of waste into materials that serve as soil conditioners, and/or environmental remediation. Thus, this work aimed to produce and characterize biochar from cassava waste under different temperature conditions and evaluate interactions with Ca2+ and Pb2+ for agricultural

2. Estimation of mercury released from an abandoned gold mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Abstract Mining is very important to the economic, political and social development of the Minas Gerais State in Brazil ever since the time the country became a Portuguese colony in the early 1500s. However, few researches have been conducted to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with the mining activity at this time. There are many abandoned mine

3. COMPLEXO ESTUARINO LAGUNAR MUNDAÚ-MANGUABA: CARACTERIZAÇÃO DA MATÉRIA ORGÂNICA NATURAL E INTERAÇÃO COM ÍONS Hg2+
The Mundaú-Manguaba lagoon estuary complex is the most important ecosystem in the state of Alagoas, and a source of sustenance for a large number of the state’s inhabitants. However, degradation by anthropic sources has been causing impacts on this ecosystem. Understanding the characteristics of the natural organic material of the waters of the mundaú-ma

4. BIORREMEDIAÇÃO DE EFLUENTES POR MEIO DA APLICAÇÃO DE MICROALGAS - UMA REVISÃO
National industrial effluent remediation strategies are largely outdated, which makes these processes costly and at the same time inefficient. Among the most worrying compounds are heavy metals, which have bioaccumulative and toxic characteristics to living beings. In addition to these, high nutrient loads constitute a huge environmental problem, since the d

5. Sorbent system based on acetylated microfibrillated cellulose for remediation of oil aquatic environments
ABSTRACT The growth of oil exploration and transport in marine environments brings concern over potential environmental disasters caused by oil spills. Thus, various materials are being developed and studied in order to minimize environmental impacts caused by these oil spills. Among these materials, the use of sorbents has appeared as a great potential tech

6. Endophytic fungus Purpureocillium sp. A5 protect mangrove plant Kandelia candel under copper stress
Abstract Mangrove is an important ecosystem in the world. Mangrove ecosystems have a large capacity in retaining heavy metals, and now they are usually considered as sinks for heavy metals. However, the mechanism of why the soil of mangrove ecosystems can retain heavy metal is not certain. In this research, endophytic fungus Purpureocillium sp. A5 was isolat

7. Action of Canavalia ensiformis in remediation of contaminated soil with sulfentrazone
ABSTRACT This study evaluated the jack bean (Canavalia ensiformis) as a potential remediator of sulfentrazone in the soil. The experiment was conducted under field conditions in a complete randomised block design. The treatments consisted of soils with and without herbicide application as well as the absence and presence of C. ensiformis cultivation associat

8. Remediação de solos contaminados por processos fenton: uma revisão crítica
The remediation of contaminated soils is probably one of the biggest environmental challenges, mainly due to the complex dynamics of the pollutants in this medium. Among a variety of treatment alternatives proposed for the in-situ remediation of contaminated soils, Fenton processes appear as the most cost-effective, particularly when catalyzed by native iron

9. APPLICATION OF THERMAL PLASMA FOR INERTIZATION OF SLUDGE PRODUCED DURING TREATMENT OF LANDFILL LEACHATE
One of the outstanding issues of concern by governments and society in general relates to the final destination of solid waste, which can bring severe impacts on social, political, economic and environmental dimensions. The sustainable development of enterprises and industries goes for the care of the planet, thus ensuring the quality of life for future gene

10. Solubility of Heavy Metals/Metalloid on Multi-Metal Contaminated Soil Samples from a Gold Ore Processing Area: Effects of Humic Substances
ABSTRACT Bioavailability of heavy metals at contaminated sites is largely controlled by the physicochemical properties of the environmental media such as dissolved organic matter, hydroxides and clay colloids, pH, soil cation exchange capacity and oxidation-reduction potential. The aim of this study was to investigate soil pH and heavy metal solubility effec

11. TiO2 Supported on HZSM-11 Zeolite as Efficient Catalyst for the Photodegradation of Chlorobenzoic Acids
The photocatalytic decomposition of 2-, 3- and 4-chlorobenzoic acids (2CB, 3CB and 4CB, respectively) with TiO2 loaded on HZSM-11 zeolite was investigated. The optimum decomposition rate of 2CB was obtained with TiO2/HZSM-11(30%) (TiO2 30 wt.%) catalyst at a concentration of 1 mg mL-1. 2CB and 3CB decompose at similar rates, but 4CB remains adsorbed on TiO

12. Bioremediation of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) using rhizosphere technology
The remediation of polluted sites has become a priority for society because of increase in quality of life standards and the awareness of environmental issues. Over the past few decades there has been avid interest in developing in situ strategies for remediation of environmental contaminants, because of the high economic cost of physicochemical strategies,
