Clean water shortages require the reuse of wastewater. The presence of organic substances
such as humic acids in wastewater makes the water treatment process more difficult. Humic …

Iron (Fe) minerals play an important role in stabilizing soil organic carbon (SOC). Fe-
mediated SOC protection is mainly achieved through adsorption, co-precipitation, or …

Abstract Mesoporous (~ 7–8 nm) biopolymer hydrogel beads (HNTs-FeNPs@ Alg/β-CD)
were synthesised via ionic polymerisation route to separate heavy metal ions. The …

Cr (VI) detoxification and organic matter (OM) stabilization are usually influenced by the
biological transformation of iron (Fe) minerals; however, the underlying mechanisms of …

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 …

As consequence of the dual demands for pollution control and carbon (C) fixation in soils, Fe
(II)-catalyzed mineral transformation may be a promising method to simultaneously …

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) in the natural environment has a significant effect on the
biogeochemical cycles of iron (Fe), such as adsorption and reduction reaction. However, the …

Soil, the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir, is central to climate change and relevant
feedback to environmental health. Minerals are the essential components that contribute to …

Globally increasing wildfires and widespread applications of biochar have led to a growing
amount of black carbon (BC) entering terrestrial ecosystems. The significance of BC in …

Lignin is a common soil organic matter that is present in soils, but its effect on the
transformation of ferrihydrite (Fh) remains unclear. Organic matter is generally assumed to …
