Acid mine drainage (AMD), a source of considerable environmental pollution worldwide, has
prompted the development of many strategies to alleviate its effects. Unfortunately, the …

Abstract Tetravalent actinides, An (IV), are usually assumed to be little mobile in near-neutral
environmental waters because of their low solubility. However, there are certain …

Interactions between aqueous ferrous iron (Fe (II)) and secondary Fe oxyhydroxides
catalyze mineral recrystallization and/or transformation processes in anoxic soils and …

The points of zero charge (PZC) and isoelectric points (IEP) from the recent literature are
discussed. This study is an update of the previous compilation [M. Kosmulski, Surface …

In this study, Si-doped ferrihydrite (Si-Fh) was successfully synthesized by a simple
coprecipitation method for removal of heavy metals in water. Subsequently, the …

Antimony (V) substitution is common in secondary ferrihydrite, especially in mining areas
and tailings. However, its impact on the adsorption behavior of ferrihydrite is still unclear …

Acid and metalliferous release occurring when sulfide (principally pyrite)-containing rock
from mining activities and from natural environments is exposed to the elements is …

Siliceous ferrihydrites are abundant nanoparticles in natural environments. Although it is
well known that the physical properties of ferrihydrite are affected when formed in the …

Naturally occurring ferrihydrite often contains impurities such as Al and Si, which can impact
its chemical reactivity with respect to metal (loid) adsorption and (in) organic or microbially …

Evidence is provided by photon correlation spectroscopy, ultrafiltration and
ultracentrifugation that uranium (IV) can form silicate-containing colloids of a size of⩽ 20nm …
