Bioaugmentation of thiabendazole-contaminated soils from a wastewater disposal site: Factors driving the efficacy of this strategy and the diversity of the indigenous soil bacterial community

Papadopoulou E.S., Genitsaris S., Omirou M., Perruchon C., Stamatopoulou A., Ioannides I., Karpouzas D.G. (2018)

The application of the fungicide thiabendazole (TBZ) in fruit packaging plants (FPP) results in the production of effluents which are often disposed in adjacent field sites. These require remediation to prevent further ...

Effects of sheep bone biochar on soil quality, maize growth, and fractionation and phytoavailability of Cd and Zn in a mining-contaminated soil

Azeem M., Ali A., Arockiam Jeyasundar P.G.S., Bashir S., Hussain Q., Wahid F., Ali E.F., Abdelrahman H., Li R., Antoniadis V., Rinklebe J., Shaheen S.M., Li G., Zhang Z. (2021)

Biochar prepared from various feedstock materials has been utilized in recent years as a potential stabilizing agent for heavy metals in smelter-contaminated soils. However, the effectiveness of animal bone-derived biochar ...

Investigation of Extraction Methods for the Assessment of the Pseudo-Total Concentration of Potentially Toxic Elements in Moderately Contaminated Soils of Central Greece

Golia E.E., Tsiropoulos N.G., Vleioras S., Antoniadis V. (2020)

The aim of this research was the investigation of the effectiveness of several extractants as possible assessment of pseudo-total As, Pb and Cu concentrations in moderately contaminated soils of Central Greece. In soils ...

Modulation of hexavalent chromium toxicity on οriganum vulgare in an acidic soil amended with peat, lime, and zeolite

Antoniadis V., Zanni A.A., Levizou E., Shaheen S.M., Dimirkou A., Bolan N., Rinklebe J. (2018)

Dynamics of chromate (Cr(VI)) in contaminated soils may be modulated by decreasing its phytoavailability via the addition of organic matter-rich amendments, which might accelerate Cr(VI) reduction to inert chromite (Cr(III)) ...

Phytoremediation potential of twelve wild plant species for toxic elements in a contaminated soil

Antoniadis V., Shaheen S.M., Stärk H.-J., Wennrich R., Levizou E., Merbach I., Rinklebe J. (2021)

Green remediation of soils highly contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be achieved using suitable plants. Such phytoremediation procedure often takes into consideration PTE concentrations in plants only, ...

Remediation of Cd and Cu contaminated water and soil using novel nanomaterials derived from sugar beet processing- and clay brick factory-solid wastes

Lashen Z.M., Shams M.S., El-Sheshtawy H.S., Slaný M., Antoniadis V., Yang X., Sharma G., Rinklebe J., Shaheen S.M., Elmahdy S.M. (2022)

Producing nanomaterials from hazardous wastes for water and soil treatment is of great concern. Here, we produced and fully characterized two novel nanomaterials from sugar beet processing (SBR)- and brick factory-residuals ...

Streptomyces pactum addition to contaminated mining soils improved soil quality and enhanced metals phytoextraction by wheat in a green remediation trial

Ali A., Guo D., Li Y., Shaheen S.M., Wahid F., Antoniadis V., Abdelrahman H., Al-Solaimani S.G., Li R., Tsang D.C.W., Rinklebe J., Zhang Z. (2021)

Streptomyces pactum (Act12), an agent of a gentle in situ remediation approach, has been recently used in few works in phytoextraction trials; however, the impact of Act12 on soil quality and metal phytoavailability has ...
