Biochar’s Influence as a Soil Amendment for Essential Plant Nutrient Uptake

Gunarathne, V; Mayakaduwa, S; Vithanage, M (Springer, 2017)

Biochar has recently become an interesting option for soil management in terms of nutrients depleted lands, which is now emerging as an increasing global concern. Since biochar is derived from biomass, they are high in ...

Applications of biochar in redox-mediated reactions

Yuan, Y; Bolan, N; Vithanage, M; Biswas, J.K (Elsevier, 2017)

Biochar is chemically more reduced and reactive than the original feedstock biomass. Graphite regions, functional groups, and redox-active metals in biochar contribute to its redox characteristics. While the functional ...

Microorganisms and Heavy Metals Associated with Atmospheric Deposition in a Congested Urban Environment of a Developing Country: Sri Lanka

Weerasundara, L.; Amarasekara, R.W.K.; Magana-Arachchi, D.N.; Ziyath, A.M.; Karunaratne, D.G.G.P.; Goonetilleke, A.; Vithanage, M. (Elsevier, 2017)

Thiolated arsenic in natural systems: What is current, what is new and what needs to be known

Herath, I; Vithanage, M; Seneweera, S; Bundschuh, J (Elsevier, 2018)

Thiolated arsenic compounds are the sulfur analogous substructures of oxo-arsenicals as the arsinoyl (As=O) is substituted by an arsinothioyl (As=S) group. Relatively brief history of thioarsenic research, mostly in ...

Trace element dynamics of biosolids-derived microbeads

Wijesekara, H; Bolan, N.S; Obadamudalige, N; Vithanage, M (Elsevier, 2018)

This study focused on quantifying and characterising microbeads in biosolids (i.e., treated sewage sludge), and in examining interactions of microbeads with trace elements when biosolids are added to soil. Under laboratory ...
