Recovery of water, salts, and hazardous dye from complex saline textile wastewater faces obstacles in separating dissolved ionic substances and recovering organic components during desalination. This study realized the simultaneous fractionation, desalination, and dye removal/recovery treatment of textile wastewater by using trehalose (Tre) as an a...

The inversion of Cu contents in rocks based on hyperspectral remote sensing is indicative of geochemical exploration as well as mineral resource exploration. Due to the strong redundancy of band information in hyperspectral data, characteristic band selection is the key to improving the accuracy of metal element inversion models in hyperspectral da...
Research towards mild reductive depolymerization of lignin is gaining momentum because of its potential for producing sustainable functionalized aromatics, but achieving high yields still relies on expensive noble metal catalysts. This study aims to improve the catalysts' cost effectiveness through addition of a non-noble metal to a Pd nanoparticle...
Interest in the capitalization of waste biomass is steadily increasing in the last years, with many scientists involved in the valorisation of these untapped sources of specialty chemicals and energy, that would otherwise be composted or destined to landfills. In view of developing a circular economy, crop waste is an important resource of specialt...

Understanding clay flotation mechanisms has become a major concern because of the increasing level of environmental contamination of soil and ground water by heavy metals and radionuclides. Clays are often used as sorbents for extracting metals in indirect flotation processes but can function simultaneously as defoamers. However, how foam generatio...

Angiosperms have a complex history of whole-genome duplications (WGDs), with varying numbers and ages of WGD events across clades. These WGDs have greatly affected the composition of plant genomes due to the biased retention of genes belonging to certain functional categories following their duplication. In particular, regulatory genes and genes en...
Complexation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) with cations and minerals contributes to the stabilization of carbon in soils, and can enable the transport of metals in the environment. Hence, a proper understanding of mechanisms that control DOM binding properties in the soil is important for major environmental challenges, such as climate change a...
