Assessing trends in Speciation of First-Row Transition Metals in Children’s Playgrounds of Owerri, Nigeria

By Verla Andrew Wirnkor, Ekweogu Chinonye Victoria, Diagi Bridget Edewede, Aririguzo Bernadine Ngozi, and Iwuoha Godson Ndubuisi

Abstract: Chemical species of metals affect toxicity but trends of these metals species in soils are less studied. This study examined the trends and variability of species of metals in soils from playgrounds within Owerri. Eighty-one composite soil samples from nine playgrounds were collected in dry and rainy season to reflect spatio-seasonal variability. Samples were characterized…

Structure and dynamics of carbon dangling bonds in activated carbon materials from biomass†

By Indra Neel Pulidindi, Varadarajan Thirukallam Kanthadai, and Viswanathan Balasubramanian

Abstract: Activated carbon materials are inevitable for energy-related applications. Production of such materials from biomass is sustainable. Microporous activated carbon materials with high specific surface area and pore sizes of less than 2 nm find life-saving applications apart from their utility in environmental remediation. The free electron density of these materials is tunable and is a…
