PET particles exposed to Zn, Cd, and Pb solution adsorbed from 7.2 to 8.5%, 5.3 to 9.8%, and 29.8 to 68.5% of the initial heavy metals concentration, respectively. 11.3 to 15.2%, 12.5 to 23.35%, and 5.5 to 33.6% of the initially adsorbed Zn, Cd, and Pb were desorbed in the wheat rhizosphere zone in the three defined scenarios, respectively. The results show that PET particles can act as a vector in transferring heavy metals to the rhizosphere zone.]]> Fri 22 Jul 2022 14:31:16 AEST ]]> Advances and future directions of biochar characterization methods and applications https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32017 Fri 20 Apr 2018 14:47:48 AEST ]]>
