“Ball-milled phosphate/micro zero-valent iron/biochar for lead and cadmium removal and stabilization in water and soil: Performance, mechanisms, and environmental applications”
- Authors: D. Tuyiringire, X. Liu, Q. Zheng, J. Qu, Y. Zhang
- Journal: Separation and Purification Technology
- Year: 2025
- Citations: 0
- Summary: This study introduces a novel composite, P-mZVIBC500, synthesized through ball milling of phosphate, macroscale zero-valent iron, and biochar. The composite demonstrated high adsorption capacities for lead (243.57 mg/g) and cadmium (132.67 mg/g), effectively reducing their presence in contaminated water and soil systems.
