Efficacy of bioadmendments in reducing the influence of salinity on the bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil (2023)
Journal Article
Atai, E., Jumbo, R. B., Cowley, T., Azuazu, I., Coulon, F., & Pawlett, M. (2023). Efficacy of bioadmendments in reducing the influence of salinity on the bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil. Science of the Total Environment, 892, Article 164720. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.164720

This study aimed to investigate the potential of three bioamendments (rice husk biochar, wheat straw biochar, and spent mushroom compost) to enhance microbial degradation of crude oil in saline soil. A soil microcosm experiment was conducted, compari... Read More about Efficacy of bioadmendments in reducing the influence of salinity on the bioremediation of oil-contaminated soil.

Bioengineering remediation of former industrial sites contaminated with chemical mixtures (2023)
Journal Article
Atai, E., Jumbo, R. B., Andrews, R., Cowley, T., Azuazu, I., Coulon, F., & Pawlett, M. (2023). Bioengineering remediation of former industrial sites contaminated with chemical mixtures. Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, 10, Article 100319. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hazadv.2023.100319

Former gasworks sites are known to be contaminated with complex chemical mixtures that require remediation before redevelopment. Bioamendments such as biochar and spent mushroom compost (SMC) offer a green and sustainable remediation approach to help...
