Journal Article
Mwesigye, A. R., Young, S. D., Bailey, E. H., & Tumwebaze, S. B. (2016). Population exposure to trace elements in the Kilembe copper mine area, Western Uganda: a pilot study. Science of the Total Environment, 573, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2016.08.125

The mining and processing of copper in Kilembe, Western Uganda, from 1956 to 1982 left over 15 Mt. of tailings containing cupriferous and cobaltiferous pyrite dumped within a mountain river valley. This pilot study was conducted to assess the nature... Read More about Population exposure to trace elements in the Kilembe copper mine area, Western Uganda: a pilot study.

Kinetic study of time-dependent fixation of UVI on biochar (2016)
Journal Article
Ashry, A., Bailey, E. H., Chenery, S., & Young, S. D. (2016). Kinetic study of time-dependent fixation of UVI on biochar. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 320, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2016.08.002

Biochar, a by-product from the production of biofuel and syngas by gasification, was tested as a material for adsorption and fixation of UVI from aqueous solutions. A batch experiment was conducted to study the factors that influence the adsorption a... Read More about Kinetic study of time-dependent fixation of UVI on biochar.

Iodine binding to humic acid (2016)
Journal Article
Bowley, H. E., Young, S. D., Ander, E. L., Crout, N. J., Watts, M. J., & Bailey, E. H. (2016). Iodine binding to humic acid. Chemosphere, 157, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2016.05.028

The rate of reactions between humic acid (HA) and iodide (I-) and iodate (IO3-) have been investigated in suspensions spiked with 129I at concentrations of 22, 44 and 88 µg L-1 and stored at 10oC. Changes in the speciation of 129I-, 129IO3- and mixe... Read More about Iodine binding to humic acid.

Using isotopic dilution to assess chemical extraction of labile Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in soils (2016)
Journal Article
Garforth, J. M., Bailey, E. H., Tye, A. M., Young, S. D., & Lofts, S. (2016). Using isotopic dilution to assess chemical extraction of labile Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb in soils. Chemosphere, 155, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2016.04.096

Chemical extractants used to measure labile soil metal must ideally select for and solubilise the labile fraction, with minimal solubilisation of non-labile metal. We assessed four extractants (0.43 M HNO3, 0.43 M CH3COOH, 0.05 M Na2H2EDTA and 1 M Ca...
