Iron (Fe) is the fourth most abundant element in the earth's crust and plays important roles in
both biological and chemical processes. The redox reactivity of various Fe (II) forms has …

Selenium is usually known as the 'double-edged sword element'for its dual toxic and
beneficial character to health. Since the pioneer works by Schwarz and Foltz on the …

Suboxic soils and sediments often contain the Fe (II)-bearing minerals mackinawite (FeS),
siderite (FeCO3) or magnetite (Fe3O4), which should be able to reduce aqueous selenite …

Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment has caused phosphorus (P) accumulation in many
freshwater sediments, raising concerns that internal loading from legacy P may delay the …

The chemistry of pore water is an important property of clayrocks being considered as host
rocks for long-term storage of radioactive waste. It may be difficult, if not impossible, to obtain …

Binding of antibiotics to clay minerals can decrease both their physical and biological
availability in soils. To elucidate the binding mechanisms of tetracycline antibiotics on …

Despite the importance of Fe redox cycling in clay minerals, the mechanism and location of
electron transfer remain unclear. More specifically, there is some controversy whether …

Freshwater suspended particulate matter (SPM) plays an important role in many
biogeochemical cycles and serves multiple ecosystem functions. Most SPM is present as …

The mobility and availability of the toxic metalloid selenium in the environment are largely
controlled by sorption and redox reactions, which may proceed at temporal scales similar to …

Carbon-negative strategies such as geologic carbon sequestration in continental flood
basalts offers a promising route to the removal of greenhouse gases, such as CO2, via safe …
