Biosolid application to soil may be a supply of nutrients and micronutrients but it may also accumulate toxic compounds which would be absorbed by crops and through them be incorporated to the trophic chain. The present ...

Mine tailings arc difficult to revegetate due to the lack of organic matter, severe nutrient limitations, and potential metal toxicity. Biosolids has been shown to be favorable for improving properties of mine tailings. ...

Biosolid model samples (BMSs) were developed to study the capacity of various matrixes to adsorb polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) as a function of their composition. A commercial standard reference samples for biosolids ...

An extraction method of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from biosolids, based on continuous pressurized solvent extraction (PSE), was developed and optimized through an experimental design and followed by gas ...

One of the most negative environmental impacts that have had an explosive growth of Santiago's Metropolitan Region in the last decades, has been the pollution of water courses caused by effluents of waste waters. As a ...

Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) generate pasty wastes, known biosolids, which can be toxic and recalcitrant, motivating studies aiming at their degradation. Filamentous fungi were investigated to degradation of biosolids ...

The effect of biosolid application on the distribution and extractability of Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn was assessed in Mollisol soils from an important agricultural zone in central Chile. These were amended with biosolids at ...
