As every-one knows, cadmium contamination poses a significant and permanent threat to people and aquatic life. Therefore, research on how to remove cadmium from wastewater is essential to protect the natural environment. In this study, agricultural and forestry waste straw sprayed with selenium-enriched foliar fertilizer was prepared as biochar, which was altered by calcium chloride (CaCl) to remove Cd from water. The outcomes demonstrated that biochar generated by pyrolysis at 700 °C (BC700) had the best adsorption effect. Secondly, pseudo-second-order kinetics and Langmuir adsorption models were used to predict the Cd adsorption. Finally, electrostatic adsorption, ion exchange, and complexation of oxygen functional groups (OFGs) were demonstratedto be the main adsorption mechanisms. These conclusions indicate that selenium-rich straw biochar is a novel adsorbent for agroforestry waste recovery. Meanwhile, this work will offer a promising strategy for the overall utilization of rice straw.

Co-composting of livestock manure and selenate is an effective means to produce selenium-rich organic fertilizer. However the effect of selenate on greenhouse gas emission during composting is still unknown. To probe the influences of selenate on greenhouse gas and microbial community changes during swine manure composting.

This study examined the selenium (Se) and cadmium (Cd) uptake by rice from soil and analyzed the relationship between Se and Cd in naturally occurred Se-rich paddy fields with a high geological background of Cd. Significant correlations were observed between soil Se and plant biomass Se, but not between soil Cd and plant biomass Cd. High concentrations of Cd were detected in rice plants and particularly in rice grains, suggesting potential health risks to human.

Intensive rice-wheat cultivation cycle in Northern belt of India in general and in the State of Punjab in particular results in large volumes of straw and other post-harvest residue annually. The agricultural area, bordering the districts of Nawanshahr and Hoshiarpur, is popularly known as the seleniferous belt of India. The agri-residues, generated in seleniferous region of this state, are observed to contain significantly high concentration of selenium (Se).

Cultivation of saprophytic fungi on selenium-rich substrates can be an effective means to produce selenium-fortified food. Pleurotus florida, an edible species of oyster mushrooms, was grown on wheat straw from the seleniferous belt of Punjab (India) and its potential to mobilize and accumulate selenium from the growth substrate was studied. Selenium concentration in biofortified mushrooms was 800 times higher compared with control samples grown on wheat straw from non selenium-rich areas (141 vs 0.
