Optimisation of Electrokinetic Extraction System: Colourimetric Determination of Copper (II) in Sand Using Polymer Inclusion Membrane

ELECTROPHORESIS, EarlyView.
Electrokinetic extraction (EKE) allows the direct transfer of heavy metals from soli samples, such as soil and sediment, into a polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) with a colourimetric detection. This avoids length and complex sampling handling and extraction processes.

Field Studies on the Influence of High‐Voltage Direct Transmission Underground Cables on Soils Along the SuedLink Route in Southwest Germany

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
During regular operation of the SuedLink at a load ≤75 %, the average increase in temperature in the plowing horizon is expected to be less than 1.6°C in the soils along the route in Southwest Germany. ABSTRACT Background The SuedLink was planned as a high‐voltage direct‐current underground cable route. The construction itself is a massive intervention
