It was found that despite triggering antioxidant enzyme activity, Cd stress heightened lipid peroxidation levels. Exogenous P input partially mitigated the lipid peroxidation impact and decreased the levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and peroxidase (POD) antioxidant enzymes, revealing reduced ROS-scavenging activity. Importantly, notable relationships were determined between the amount of Cd uptake in the root and the amount of non-protein thiols (R² = 0.914), glutathione (R² = 0.805) and phytochelatins (R² = 0.904) in proportion to the amount of exogenous P applied. The levels of amino acids proline and cysteine were also enhanced by exogenous P input showing their influence in alleviating Cd stress. Overall, it is reported that Cd detoxification in ryegrass plants can be stimulated by exogenous P input, which facilitates chelation-mediated Cd detoxification processes.]]> Thu 01 Dec 2022 10:07:29 AEDT ]]> Environmental fate, toxicity and risk management strategies of nanoplastics in the environment: current status and future perspectives https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38276 Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:51:39 AEDT ]]> Emerging contaminants: A One Health perspective https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55404 Mon 27 May 2024 12:04:23 AEST ]]> Green immobilization of toxic metals using alkaline enhanced rice husk biochar: effects of pyrolysis temperature and KOH concentration https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40045 2 adsorption-desorption, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses were conducted to reveal the influence on biochar physiochemical properties. The immobilization performances were examined through Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP), and Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was adopted to visualize the results from leaching tests. The stabilization mechanisms of alkaline enhanced biochars were investigated using Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS), Tessier sequential extraction method and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. The results indicated that rice husk biochar pyrolyzed at a relatively low temperature (i.e., 300 °C) and activated by moderate alkaline concentrations (i.e., 1 M or 3 M KOH) rendered optimum stabilization performance. KOH activation was a double-edged sword, with high alkaline concentrations destroying biochar's cell structures. Moreover, the integration of TOF-SIMS, XRD and sequential leaching method shed lights on the underlying mechanisms involved in metal stabilization. Surface complexation between toxic metals and oxygen-containing functional groups rather than liming or precipitation was proven to be the fundamental stabilization mechanism.]]> Mon 04 Jul 2022 13:41:37 AEST ]]> Nanobiochar-rhizosphere interactions: Implications for the remediation of heavy-metal contaminated soils https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47339 Fri 13 Jan 2023 12:16:30 AEDT ]]> Biochar application for the remediation of heavy metal polluted land: A review of in situ field trials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42990 Fri 09 Sep 2022 13:56:20 AEST ]]>
