Minerals are widely assumed to protect organic matter (OM) from degradation in the
environment, promoting the persistence of carbon in soil and sediments. In this Review, we …

Minerals and organic matter (OM) may form intricate associations via myriad interactions. In
soils, the associations of OM with mineral surfaces are mainly investigated because of their …

With the massive use and discarding of plastic products, plastic particles, including
nanoplastics (NPs), which are continuously released under the action of environmental …

Microplastic (MP) pollution is an increasing global problem due to the ubiquity of these
particles in the environment and the uncertainty surrounding their fate. Most MPs undergo …

Due to the presence and significance of alumina in the natural aquatic environment and its
increasing application in drinking and wastewater purification, the knowledge of the …

In wetlands, large quantities of dissolved organic matter (DOM) are solubilized under
reducing conditions. Controlled incubations of a wetland soil were performed under oxic and …

Batch experiments were performed to investigate the feasibility of humic acid (HA) removal
by synthetic nanoscale zerovalent iron (NZVI) and its interaction with As (III) and As (V), the …

In the past decade, a number of UK and US water utilities have been experiencing
operational difficulties connected with the increased dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels …

To explore the adsorption mechanisms of a soil humic acid (HA) on purified kaolinite and
montmorillonite, a combination of adsorption measurements, attenuated total reflectance …

The stabilization and preservation of soil organic matter have been attributed to the strong
reactive sites of mineral surfaces that cause physical isolation and chemical stabilization …
