Tellurium (Te) is a rare metalloid in the chalcogen group of the Periodic Table. Tellurium is
regularly listed as a critical raw material both due to its increased use in the solar industry …

This study aimed to clarify the changes in sulfur-driven microorganisms and sulfur metabolic
pathways in the vertical soil profile during the restoration of different afforestation types. Soils …

Gold is either the only economically important metal or a major by-product in 11 well-
characterized deposit types—paleoplacer, orogenic, porphyry, epithermal, Carlin, placer …

Abstract Tellurium (Te) is a Critical Mineral and its biogeochemical behaviour has mostly
been interpreted from laboratory-based studies rather than direct field observations, due to …

Specialised microbial communities colonise the surface of gold particles in soils/sediments,
and catalyse gold dissolution and re-precipitation, thereby contributing to the environmental …

Biochar had been widely used to improve the activity of photocatalysts, the biochar-based
photocatalysts had more potential for environmental pollution remediation, but their effect on …
