Influence of compost and digestates on plant growth and health: potentials and limits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Composts can influence soil fertility and plant health. These influences can be positive or negative, depending of the quality of the composts. In order to estimate the potential of Swiss composts to influence soil fertility and plant health, one hundred

Environmental Transformation and Trophic Transfer of Engineered Nanomaterials in the Agri‐Food Chain and Implications for human Health

open access: yesChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are increasingly applied in agriculture to improve crop yield, nutrient efficiency, and food quality. This study examines the environmental transformation of ENMs, their uptake in plants, and their transfer across the agri‐food chain leading to human exposure.

Wurtzite‐Chalcopyrite Crystal Polymorphism in CuGaS2 Nanoparticles Dictates the Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Crystal phase‐ and size‐selective synthesis of chalcopyrite and wurtzite‐type CuGaS2 NPs was successfully achieved. They exhibited clear LSPR in the NIR region. The extinction coefficient of chalcopyrite was three times higher than that of wurtzite due to its greater symmetry and dipole moment. These results will enable precise control of the plasmonic

HUMIC ACID-LIKE MATTER ISOLATED FROM GREEN URBAN WASTES. PART I: STRUCTURE AND SURFACTANT PROPERTIES

open access: yesBioResources, 2008
A humic acid-like substance (cHAL2) isolated from urban green wastes before composting was compared to a humic acid-like substance (cHAL) isolated from a mix of urban organic humid waste fraction and green residues composted for 15 days.

Optimization of a reactor for biostimulant production with emphasis on the economic aspects of hydrolysis

open access: yesThe Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Biostimulants are increasingly used in agriculture to promote plant growth, improve stress tolerance, and support sustainable farming practices. One common method of production is chemical hydrolysis of protein‐rich waste, such as tannery by‐products, offering an economical and eco‐friendly alternative to conventional raw materials.

The effect of pH on the binding of heavy metal ions with humic substances and hymatomelanic acids of peats

open access: yesУчёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2017
The values of the dissociation constants (–COOH and –OH) of humic substances and hymatomelanic acids have been determined by the potentiometric titration method. It has been shown that hymatomelanic acids are enriched in phenolic groups compared with the

Determination of Silver Binding to Natural Organic Matter Using Ion Selective Electrode [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Natural organic matter (NOM) is considered an important factor in the protection of the aquatic environments; organic ligands can complex with metals, to decrease their toxicity and bioavailability. NOM is measured as dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in mg
