Abstract:
... Schwertmannite is an important Fe(III)-oxyhydroxysulfate in acid mine drainage (AMD) polluted areas and its stability depends on surrounding environmental factors and previously bound elements. The treatment and neutralization of AMD normally involve the use of lime, which leads to the discharge of abundant Ca in the mining area. Such an environmental disturbance brings up an important and less co ...

Abstract:
... The feasibility of decomplexation removal of typical contaminants in electroplating wastewater, complexed Cu(II) with 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-diphosphonic acid (Cu-HEDP), was first performed by a three-dimensional electrode reactor with activated biochar as particle electrodes. For the case of 50 mg/L Cu-HEDP, Cu(II) removal (90.7%) and PO₄³⁻ conversion (34.9%) were achieved under the conditions o ...
... Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) is a typical persistent organic pollutant that is widely detected in the environment. Despite the significant efforts put into its mineralisation, there is still a lack of microorganism resources that can completely mineralise HBCD. Stable isotope analysis revealed that the Citrobacter sp. Y3 can use [¹³C]HBCD as its sole carbon source and degrade or even mineralise i ...

Abstract:
... It is still challenge to avoid Cl poisoning and achieve efficient elimination of Cl-VOCs at low temperature. This paper tentatively explored water-promoted catalytic ozonation of Cl-VOCs and feasibility of application in complex flue gas over monolithic cobalt catalyst. O₃ decomposition and Cl-VOCs ozonation occur simultaneously but the active radicals and intermediates from O₃ decomposition and C ...

Abstract:
... The seasonal changes in dissolved organic matter (DOM), and its correlation with the release of internal nutrients during the annual cycle of cyanobacteria in the eutrophic Lake Chaohu, China, were investigated from four sampling periods between November 2020 and July 2021. The DOM fluorescence components were identified as protein-like C1, microbial humic-like C2, and terrestrial humic-like C3. T ...

Abstract:
... Styrene emissions can be treated by physicochemical, biological, or physicochemical/biological means. Due to its low solubility in water an alternative to eliminate styrene emissions from air is the use of two-phase partitioning bioreactors (TPPBs) which comprised a hydrophobic non-aqueous phase (NAP) which can improve mass transfer of styrene. This study was devoted to prepare and evaluate the ma ...

Abstract:
... Fine root litter represents an important carbon input to soils, but the effect of global warming on fine root turnover (FRT) is hardly explored in forest ecosystems. Understanding tree fine roots' response to warming is crucial for predicting soil carbon dynamics and the functioning of forests as a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂). We studied fine root production (FRP) with ingrowth cores ...

Abstract:
... Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), which possess the characteristics of high volatility and destroy ozone layer, are hardly disposed of through traditional methods. With a tightly closed reaction environment and high-temperature water medium, CFCs can react and generate inorganic Cl⁻ and F⁻ under subcritical water conditions, which is very useful to enhance leaching and enrich rare metals. Therefore, in ...

Abstract:
... An ultra-efficient electro-Fenton catalyst with porous carbon coated Fe-Mo metal (FeMo@PC), was prepared by calcining MIL-53(Fe)@MoO₃. This FeMo@PC-2 exhibited impressive catalytic performance for sulfamethazine (SMT) degradation with a high turnover frequency value (7.89 L/(g·min)), much better than most of reported catalysts. The mineralization current efficiency and electric energy consumption ...

Abstract:
... Soil organic matter (SOM) is a critical component of the soil system and a sensitive indicator of soil quality. We aimed to investigate the response of SOM pools to different land uses and management in irrigated croplands of the semi-arid region of northeast Brazil. Four sites irrigated under long-term (29 years) land uses were selected: banana (B1 and B2); elephant grass (EG) - perennial systems ...
... The supervised deep learning methods applied in mineral prospectivity mapping usually need sufficient samples for training models. However, mineralization is a rare event. Insufficient known mineral deposits cannot meet the sample requirement of supervised learning methods, resulting in lower predictive accuracies and poor generalization abilities. For the purpose of solving this issue, this paper ...
... Two-dimensional polymers functionalized with controllable density of carboxyl groups were constructed with the Langmuir–Blodgett method. Mineralization of calcium phosphate shows significantly different characteristics on these films, which clearly indicates that the density of carboxy groups plays a determining role in controlling the nucleation and orientated growth of calcium phosphate. ...
... Wadi-Allaqi district, in the southern part of the Eastern Desert of Egypt, is a historic well-known gold resource that has been exploited since the Pharaonic era. The study area represents the western segment of Wadi-Allaqi, about 220 km southeast Aswan city, Upper Egypt. It covers approximately 4702 km². Exploring new potential mineralization zones was conducted by integrating the Landsat-8 and a ...

Abstract:
... Cementochronology has long been associated in the literature with a high correlation between chronological and estimated age, and low differences between the two ages. The excessive accuracy was rather suspicious, and the method did not even appear in common forensic practice. An important step towards more widespread use of the method is the need to standardize work procedures, including indexes ...

Abstract:
... Tectonic structures controlling mineralization in some parts of Southeast Nigeria were evaluated using airborne potential field data. High- and low-frequency filters and depth determination tools were adopted to evaluate short- and long-wavelength anomalies, resolve the spatial spreading of igneous intrusions, depths to geologic sources and basin topography. The high-frequency results exhibited hi ...

Abstract:
... Osteoporosis is a systemic metabolic disease defined by a decreased bone mineral density, microarchitectural deterioration, and an increased incidence of fragility fractures that may lead to morbidity and mortality. Boron may stimulate new bone formation and regeneration, when combined with nano-hydroxyapatite. We questioned whether injecting boron-containing nano-hydroxyapatite composites with hy ...

Abstract:
... Black phosphorus (BP), a promising layered material widely used in energy storage systems, sensors, and transistors, is usually prepared by mineralization. However, without a clear BP growth mechanism, various problems arise, such as a high preparation cost, low preparation efficiency, and poor purity; the insufficient information concerning the BP growth mechanism greatly limits the large-scale a ...

... The efficacy of the Vacuum UV/Ozonation (VUV/O₃) process was evaluated for the degradation of favipiravir (FAV). It was found that coupling O₃ and VUV resulted in a considerable synergistic catalytic effect on FAV removal. The VUV/O₃ process performed better in moderately alkaline conditions than in acidic ones; complete FAV degradation and 99.4% TOC removal were achieved within 10 and 60 min, res ...

Although more than 2.2 million cranial repair surgical operations are performed every year, orthopedic doctors still dream of excellent artificial repair materials with suitable strength, on-site and on-demand fast-shaping properties, and bone induction properties. However, fast-shaping and high-strength properties seem to contradict each other, and even mineralized hydrogels, which already have e ...
