The major interest in nanoparticles as an application platform for biotechnology arises from
their high surface-to-volume ratio. Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are particularly …

Owing to their chemical and magnetic properties, magnetite nanoparticles are an interesting
adsorbing material for biomolecules. The understanding of the interactions of simple …

We studied the sorption of As (V) in single and multi-component (As (V)-Se (VI)) aqueous
systems using nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) and nZVI-functionalized zeolite (Z-nZVI) …

Abstract Although, glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) is one of the most widely used
herbicides in the world, its interaction with poorly crystalline iron oxides, such as ferrihydrite …

The use and disposal of antibiotics results in their release in large quantities to the
environment, posing serious threats to human and ecological health. In the present work …

Inspired by nature, many applications and new materials benefit from the interplay of
inorganic materials and biomolecules. A fundamental understanding of complex organic …

The redox process of electron shuttles like cysteine on iron minerals under aerobic
conditions may largely determine the fate of arsenic (As) in soils, while the interfacial …

Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are expected to be an important source for the
formation of mineral-organic associations in soil. Because such formations affect the …

In natural freshwater and sediments, mercuric mercury (Hg (II)) is largely associated with
particulate minerals and organics, but it remains unclear under what conditions particulates …

The marine sponge Hippospongia communis (Demospongiae: Porifera) is a representative
of bath sponges, which possess characteristic mineral-free fibrous skeletons made of a …
