The deep geological disposal concept is widely accepted by the scientific community for the
storage of high activity level nuclear waste. It uses a multi-barrier system to isolate …

Rapid industrialization and urbanization have resulted in elevated concentrations of
contaminants in the groundwaters and subsurface soils, posing a growing hazard to humans …

Fe-Mn binary oxides (FMBO) with different Fe/Mn molar ratios were synthesized to
investigate the influence of the changed iron oxides forms and the manganese oxide on the …

Soil organic matter (SOM) affects arsenic (As) and antimony (Sb) mobility in soils under
waterlogged conditions by acting as an electron donor, by catalyzing redox–cycling through …

This study demonstrates that floodplain soils of the River Wupper, Germany, are seriously
contaminated with metal (loid) s. We used an automated biogeochemical microcosm system …

Soil contamination by toxic antimony (Sb) released from corroding ammunition has become
an issue of public concern in various countries. Many of these soils are at least occasionally …

The Fe (II)-induced transformation of ferrihydrite, a potent scavenger for antimony (Sb), can
considerably influence Sb mobility in reducing soils, sediments and groundwater systems. In …

The distribution and chemical species of tellurium (Te) in contaminated soil were determined
by a combination of microfocused X-ray fluorescence (μ-XRF), X-ray diffraction (μ-XRD), and …

Antimony (Sb), a toxic metalloid, is soluble as antimonate (Sb (V)). While bio-reduction of Sb
(V) is an effective Sb-removal approach, its bio-reduction has been coupled to oxidation of …

Iron (Fe) oxides are important host phases for antimony (Sb), a toxic metalloid of
environmental concern. In wetland soils and sediments, poorly ordered Fe oxides such as …
