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 …

Electrokinetic remediation (EKR) technology is a promising method to remove heavy metals
from low permeability soil, because it is environmentally friendly, efficient and economical …

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 …

Poorly crystalline Fe (III)(oxyhydr) oxides like ferrihydrite are abundant in soils and
sediments and are often associated with organic matter (OM) in the form of mineral-organic …

Strong correlations between iron oxides (FeOx) and organic matter (OM) in soils have
implied the importance of the former in stabilizing the latter. One mechanism thought to be …

Environmental context Natural organic matter exerts a powerful control on chemical
conditions in waters and soils, affecting pH and influencing the biological availability …

Coagulation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) by hydrolyzing metals is an important
environmental process with particular relevance, eg, for the cycling of organic matter in …

Ninety-eight surface soils were sampled from the uplands of England and Wales, and
analysed for loss-on-ignition (LOI), and total and dissolved base cations, Al, Fe, and trace …

Iron oxide minerals play an important role in stabilizing organic carbon (OC) and regulating
the biogeochemical cycles of OC on the earth surface. To predict the fate of OC, it is …

Bioavailability considerations are one of the tools for a proper assignment of sites potentially
and actually at risk as it allows assessing both the extent (hazard) and probability (risk) of …
