Clay minerals are very common in nature and highly reactive minerals which are typical
products of the weathering of the most abundant silicate minerals on the planet. Over recent …

The understanding of adsorption of proteins and nucleic acids on clay minerals and their
interactions is important in biological applications for soil ecosystem, the earth's biochemical …

In the Earth's lithosphere, fungi are of fundamental importance as decomposer organisms,
animal and plant pathogens and symbionts (eg lichens and mycorrhizas), being ubiquitous …

The relationship between cesium (Cs) adsorption on clay minerals with various
expandabilities and Cs mobility in environment was investigated using sequential extraction …

The Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant accident in Japan, triggered by a big
earthquake and the resulting tsunami on 11 March 2011, caused a substantial release of …

The details of the ion-exchange properties of the layered sulfide material K2 x Mn x Sn3− x
S6 (x= 0.5− 0.95)(KMS-1) with Cs+ and Rb+ cations are reported. X-ray photoelectron …

The aim of this review is to examine the hypothesis that organic matter decreases the
adsorption of radiocaesium on clay minerals. The factors that determine radiocaesium …

In this study, the adsorption performance of ethylamine-modified montmorillonite (Ethyl-Mt)
and calcium-saturated montmorillonite (Ca-Mt) were evaluated by Cs+ adsorption …

Most of radioactive nuclides emitted into the air eventually fall to the ground, after then 80%
of cesium fallout is fixed in soil and the other 20% is mobile as exchangeable fraction. It is …

Lead (Pb) is a ubiquitous environmental pollutant capable to induce various morphological,
physiological, and biochemical functions in plants. Only few publications focus on the …
