  Goonetilleke, Ashantha (Elsevier, 2020-09)

  Social media is increasingly becoming a formal tool of communication across the world. For example, state emergency organisations maintain social media channels to share information with millions of people. While community ...
• Mathematical modelling of the influence of physico-chemical properties on heavy metal adsorption by biosorbents 

  Goonetilleke, Ashantha (Elsevier, 2020-09)

  Adsorption rate is a critical parameter in the design of effective biosorbent treatment systems for heavy metals removal. Though numerous studies have identified the physico-chemical properties of biosorbents that exert ...
• Assessing the effect of surface hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity on pollutant leaching potential of biochar in water treatment 

  Goonetilleke, Ashantha (Elsevier, 2020-09)

  This study investigated the role of surface hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity of biochar on its pollutant leaching potential (pollutants originally in biomass feedstock), including nutrients, organic matter and metals, in water ...
• Influential factors on microplastics occurrence in river sediments 

  Goonetilleke, Ashantha (Elsevier, 2020-10)

  Rivers are regarded as sinks and pathways of plastic pollutants from terrestrial environments to various other aquatic systems such as lakes and oceans. Although extensive research has been conducted in recent years on ...
• Removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from wastewater using dual-mode ultrasound system 

  Goonetilleke, Ashantha (Wiley, 2019-11)

  Treatment of wastewater using ultrasound systems is gaining increasing interest due to its effectiveness for a wide range of pollutants and no secondary pollutant production. This paper proposes two ultrasound systems ...
