Zinc oxide – mesoporous silica nanocomposite: preparation, characterisation and application in water treatment for lead, cadmium and chromium removal (2023)
Journal Article
Saod, W. M., Oliver, I. W., Thompson, D. F., Contini, A., & Zholobenko, V. (in press). Zinc oxide – mesoporous silica nanocomposite: preparation, characterisation and application in water treatment for lead, cadmium and chromium removal. International Journal of Environmental Analytical Chemistry, 1-13. https://doi.org/10.1080/03067319.2023.2246016

Applications of nanomaterials in water and wastewater treatment and in environmental clean-up operations depend on the adsorption capacity of the materials for contaminants such as potentially toxic elements (PTEs). However, on their own nanoparticle...

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) Analysis of Heavy Metal Contamination in Graveyards with Contrasting Soil Types (2022)
Journal Article
Madden, C., Pringle, J., Jeffery, A., Wisniewski, K., Glanville, H., Heaton, V., …Oliver, I. (2022). Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) Analysis of Heavy Metal Contamination in Graveyards with Contrasting Soil Types. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 29, 55278–55292. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-022-19676-z

Human remains have been interred in burial grounds since historic times. Although the re-use of graveyards differs from one country, region or time-period to another, over time graveyard soil may become contaminated or enriched with heavy metal eleme...
