Heavy metal (HM) pollution of soils is a globally important ecological and environmental
problem. Previous studies have focused on i) tracking pollution sources in HM-contaminated …

Heavy metals are widespread toxic environmental pollutants that can generate enormous
health and public concern. Iron (oxyhydr) oxides are ubiquitous in both natural and …

The mineral-organo composites control the speciation, mobility and bioavailability of heavy
metals in soils and sediments by surface adsorption and precipitation. The dynamic changes …

Arsenic mobility in soils, sediments and groundwater systems is strongly controlled by
adsorption occurring at iron oxide/water interfaces, and the extent of this adsorption may be …

Interactions between microorganisms and clay minerals are ubiquitous in nature and are
involved in the formation and transformation of clay minerals and the global cycles of many …

Adsorption and coprecipitation of organic matter with iron (hydr) oxides can alter iron (hydr)
oxide surface properties and their reactivity towards nutrient elements and heavy metals …

Transport of lead (II) and copper (II) ions in soil is affected by the soil phosphorus status. Part
of the explanation may be that phosphate increases the adsorption of copper (II) and lead (II) …

Quantitative understanding the kinetics of toxic ion reactions with various heterogeneous
ferrihydrite binding sites is crucial for accurately predicting the dynamic behavior of …

Heavy metal composite pollution is widespread in the surrounding environment of tailings
ponds in arid and semi-arid regions, leading to the abandonment of substantial agricultural …

The availability of heavy metals in terrestrial environments is largely controlled by their
interactions with minerals and organic matter, with iron minerals having a particularly strong …
