The mineral-organo composites control the speciation, mobility and bioavailability of heavy
metals in soils and sediments by surface adsorption and precipitation. The dynamic changes …

Interactions between microorganisms and clay minerals are ubiquitous in nature and are
involved in the formation and transformation of clay minerals and the global cycles of many …

Global resources of heavy Rare Earth Elements (REE) are dominantly sourced from
Chinese regolith-hosted ion-adsorption deposits in which the REE are inferred to be weakly …

This study evaluates different methods to determine points of zero charge (PZCs) on five
organic materials, namely maple sawdust, wood ash, peat moss, compost, and brown algae …

The number of studies using various stable isotope systems for tracing contamination
sources and various biogeochemical processes is rapidly rising due to the increased …

Magnesium isotopic compositions of a set of clay-rich saprolites developed on the Neogene
tholeiitic basalt from Hainan Island in southern China have been measured in order to …

Arsenic is a metalloid with a high risk of carcinogenesis. High levels of arsenic in the water
and soil environment can directly impact on humans and ecosystems. Ferrihydrite plays an …

This work is aimed at quantifying the main environmental factors controlling isotope
fractionation of Cu during its adsorption from aqueous solutions onto common organic …

This book provides a description of the generalized two layer surface complexation model,
data treatment procedures, and thermodynamic constants for sorption of metal cations and …

The coadsorption of ciprofloxacin (Cip) and Cu (II) on montmorillonite and kaolinite was
studied between pH 4.0 and 9.5. At pH< 5.0, Cu2+, Cip+ and [Cu (II)(Cip±)] 2+ were the …
