Mobilization of heavy metals from urban contaminated soils under water inundation conditions (2014)
Journal Article
Mukwaturi, M., & Lin, C. (2015). Mobilization of heavy metals from urban contaminated soils under water inundation conditions. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 285, 445-452. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2014.10.020

A microcosm experiment was conducted to investigate heavy metal release from the urban soils heavily contaminated by past industrial activities. The aim was to assess the mobility of various heavy metals under inundation with water. The results sho...

Evaluation of atmospheric CO2 sequestration by alkaline soils through simultaneous enhanced carbonation and biomass production (2014)
Journal Article
Maryol, E., & Lin, C. (2015). Evaluation of atmospheric CO2 sequestration by alkaline soils through simultaneous enhanced carbonation and biomass production. Geoderma, 241, 24-31. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoderma.2014.10.015

A series of microcosm experiments were conducted. The objectives were to evaluate the effects of Ca/Mg-bearing materials on CO2 sequestration in highly alkaline sodic soils (Sodosol) through carbonation and biomass production. Application of gypsum... Read More about Evaluation of atmospheric CO2 sequestration by alkaline soils through simultaneous enhanced carbonation and biomass production.

Capping hazardous red mud using acidic soil with an embedded layer of zeolite for plant growth (2014)
Journal Article
Ma, Y., Si, C., & Lin, C. (2014). Capping hazardous red mud using acidic soil with an embedded layer of zeolite for plant growth. Environmental Technology, 35(18), 2314-2321. https://doi.org/10.1080/09593330.2014.902113

A nearly three-year microcosm experiment was conducted to test the effectiveness of capping red mud using acidic soil with an embedded layer of zeolite in sustaining the growth of a grass species. This ‘sandwich-structured’ design allowed self-sustai... Read More about Capping hazardous red mud using acidic soil with an embedded layer of zeolite for plant growth.

Bioethanol production from sugarcane grown in heavy metal-contaminated soils (2014)
Journal Article
Xie, J., Weng, Q., Ye, G., Luo, S., Zhu, R., Zhang, A., …Lin, C. (2014). Bioethanol production from sugarcane grown in heavy metal-contaminated soils. Bioresources, 9(2), 2509-2520. https://doi.org/10.15376/biores.9.2.2509-2520

Field and laboratory experiments were conducted to evaluate the feasibility of bioethanol production using the juice of sugarcane grown in heavy metal-contaminated soils. The results suggest that the sugar concentration was not adversely affected whe... Read More about Bioethanol production from sugarcane grown in heavy metal-contaminated soils.
