The rapidly expanding global energy demand is forcing a release of regulated pollutants
into water that is threatening human health. Among various wastewater remediating …

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 concentrations of U in natural waters are usually low, being typically less than 4 μg/L in
river water, around 3.3 μg/L in open seawater, and usually less than 5 μg/L in groundwater …

Ion-adsorption rare earth elements (iREE) deposits are the globally predominant source of
heavy rare earth elements (HREE), which are mainly discovered and mined in southern …

Uranium (U) is of enormous global importance because of its use in energy generation,
albeit with potential environmental legacies. While naturally occurring U is widespread in the …

The adsorption mechanism of U (VI) and Eu (III) on carbonaceous nanofibers (CNFs) was
investigated using batch, IR, XPS, XANES, and EXAFS techniques. The pH-dependent …

The oxygenation of Earth's surface fundamentally altered global biogeochemical cycles and
ultimately paved the way for the rise of metazoans at the end of the Proterozoic. However …

PHREEQC version 2 is a computer program written in the C programming language that is
designed to perform a wide variety of low-temperature aqueous geochemical calculations …

Herein, a practical and simple calcination method was used to synthesize layered double
oxides (denoted as LDO) and layered double oxides/carbon dots nanocomposites (denoted …

Nuclear accidents that lead to melting of a reactor core create heterogeneous materials
containing hundreds of radionuclides, many with short half-lives. The long-lived fission …
