• Effect of biochar application on plant uptake of sulfamethoxazole in soil 

  Keerthanan, S; Vithanage, Meththika (Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2021-06)

  The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of cinnamon wood biochar (CWBC) in minimizing the plant uptake of sulfamethoxazole (SUL) from the contaminated soil. For this purpose, Ipomoea ...
• Characterization of some selected compost samples for the presence of microplastics and heavy metals associated with them 

  Atugoda Thilakshani, Piyumalia Hansika; Vithanage Meththika (Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2021-06)

  Microplastics are ubiquitous in terrestrial environments as land-based sources mainly contribute to their origin. Mismanagement of solid waste can contribute to heavy loads of microplastics, which ...
• Invasive plant-derived biochar for sorptive removal of hexavalent chromium in aqueous media 

  Ekanayake, Anusha; Rajapaksha, Anushka.U; Vithanage, Meththika (Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2021-06)

  Due to increased industrialization and urbanization, chromium (Cr) has been commonly used and released to the environment in a variety of industrial activities.
• A chemometric study on the effect of feedstock choice and pyrolysis conditions on biochar production and its influence on the remediation of pharmaceuticals from aqueous solutions 

  Fernando, Sachin; Gunatilake, Sameera R.; Peiris, Chathuri; Abeysundara, Sachith P. (Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2021-06)

  Removal of antibiotics and non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) from aqueous ecosystem is a serious concern due to their extensive usage and resulting the adverse effects on human and ecological health. Biochar
• Influence of feedstock and production conditions on characteristics of biochar and its correlation for the adsorption of oxyanions: A Comprehensive meta-analysis 

  Sutherson, Lilogini; Peiris, Chathuri; Abeysundara, Sachith P.; Gunatilake, Sameera R. (Institute of Chemistry Ceylon, 2021-06)

  Water contamination by oxyanions can be considered as a major environment problem. Biochar (BC) is a carbon rich porous material produced via biomass pyrolysis under limited oxygen condition. Biochar has been widely ...
