The increasing anthropogenic pressure results in environmental pollution and thus
adversely affects the integrity of ecosystems. Consequently, various methods of removing …

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 …

Clay minerals retain or adsorb metal ions in the Earth's critical zone. Rocks, sediments and
soils rich in clay minerals can concentrate rare earth elements (REEs) in ion adsorption-type …

The discharge of dyes and antibiotics (ATBs) into the water streams causes severe water
and soil pollution, which poses a global threat to aquatic ecosystems and humans. Clay …

In the context of rising anthropogenic activities and world conflicts, there is an urgent need
for energy supply, such as nuclear power from uranium minerals. Nonetheless, uranium is …

Size as one of important physicochemical properties for graphene oxide (GO) may affect its
adsorption and desorption behaviors. To date, there are few reports giving a systematic …

The polyamide-based nanocomposites were formed via inorganic nanosized
(montmorillonite clay MMT, or TiO 2) particles that incorporated inside a polyamide 6 (PA6) …

Highly efficient low-cost alum sludge-based sorbents,(termed as AS-Sorbents), derived from
alum sludge by-product waste have shown a significant potential for treating wastewaters …

Hydrothermal carbon has received increasing attention because of its simple and mild
synthesis conditions. In this paper, amidoxime-functionalized hollow carbon spheres (C …

Adsorption and subsequent reduction of U (VI) on Fe (II)-bearing clay minerals can control
the mobility of uranium in subsurface environments. Clays such as montmorillonite provide …
