Dynamics of Fe, Mn, and Al liberated from contaminated soil by low-molecular-weight organic acids and their effects on the release of soil-borne trace elements (2018)
Journal Article
soil-borne trace elements. Applied Sciences, 8(12), 2444. https://doi.org/10.3390/app8122444

A 15-day batch experiment was conducted to investigate the behaviours of Fe, Mn, and Al oxides upon attack by three common low-molecular-weight organic acids, and their effects on liberation of trace elements from a multi-contaminated soil. While t... Read More about Dynamics of Fe, Mn, and Al liberated from contaminated soil by low-molecular-weight organic acids and their effects on the release of soil-borne trace elements.

Decomposition of long-chain petroleum hydrocarbons by Fenton‐like processes : effects of ferrous iron source, salinity and temperature (2018)
Journal Article

Differential release of sewage sludge biochar-borne elements by common low-molecular-weight organic acids (2018)
Journal Article
Vause, D., Heaney, N., & Lin, C. (2018). Differential release of sewage sludge biochar-borne elements by common low-molecular-weight organic acids. Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 165, 219-223. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoenv.2018.09.005

Biochar materials originated from sewage sludge may contain elevated levels of potentially toxic elements. There was a lack of information on the mobility of biochar-borne elements, as driven by lowmolecular-weight organic acids (LMWOAs) contained in...
