The opposed transformation of arsenic (As) and cadmium (Cd) in paddy soil postures numerous challenges for their simultaneous remediation. An incubation study was conducted on the immobilization of Cd and As by biochar (BC), goethite (G), goethite-combined biochar (BC + G), and goethite-modified biochar (GBC). The results showed that biochar effect...

A novel macroporous strong acidic cation exchange resin (D001) modified by nano-sized goethite ([email protected]) was fabricated by using a facile ethanol dispersion and impregnation method, and its efficiency for Cr(VI) removal was tested thereafter. Due to the dispersing effect of ethanol, FeOOH particles of 20-150 nm were coated on the D001 surfaces....

Fe(III) (hydr)oxides commonly contained many metal impurities such as Al. The incorporation of Al might change the properties of minerals and consequently affect sorption behaviors of pollutants with polar functional groups (e.g., diclofenac (DCF)). In this study, batch experiments and microscale characterization were conducted to investigate the D...

The dynamics of tropical weathering through time with the formation and long-term evolution of laterite associated with climatic and geodynamic forcing is still a poorly explored issue. To better access this, we focused on lateritic-bauxitic duricrusts from the well-explored, 300 m high Kaw mountain in northeastern French Guiana. Macroscopically ho...

Natural Fe-bearing ochres ranging in color from yellow to deep red and brown abound on earth’s crust. Quite often, ochres can be used for pigmenting purposes upon little or no processing, and, hence, the pertinent materials have been widely employed for decorative and artistic purposes since the dawn of prehistory; ochres have also found medicinal ...

Assessing the surface reactivity of metal (hydr)oxides in soils is essential for quantifying ion adsorption phenomena that control the availability of nutrients and pollutants. Despite the high natural abundance of Fe and Al (hydr)oxides in intensively weathered environments, the surface reactivity of these pedogenic materials has not been consiste...

The production and degradation of plastic remains can result in nanoplastics (NPs) formation. However, insufficient information regarding the environmental behaviors of NPs impedes comprehensive assessment of their significant threats. In this study, the transport behavior of unmodified NPs (PSNPs), carboxyl-modified NPs (PSNPs−COOH), and amino-mod...

The present thesis focuses on studying the adsorption of uranium and neptunium on important mineral surfaces at the atomic scale using computational methods. The hybrid density functional theory (DFT) employed within the periodic electrostatic embedded cluster method (PEECM) has been used to model the [010] goethite and [1014] calcite surfaces, and...

Humic substances, the most abundant component of soil organic matter, play vital roles in the biogeochemical cycles and pollutant redox reactions. However, the knowledge regarding the distribution of persistent free radicals (PFRs) and redox capacity in different molecular weight fractions (MWF) of humic acid (HA) and their impact on the transforma...

BackgroundMercury (Hg) is recognized as one of the 10 most toxic elements in nature and is much more persistent in soils than in other environmental compartments. However, an effective, environmentally friendly, economical, and large-scale applicable technology for the remediation of soils contaminated by Hg has not yet been established. This study...
