Uranium-containing polyoxometalates (U-POMs), an important class of actinide cluster
compounds, are the products of the assembly of uranium or uranium and POMs. These …

Engineered black carbon (biochar) can be introduced into groundwater through its extensive
engineered applications (eg, in-situ remediation of groundwater/soils), which can participate …

The wide utilization of plastic related products leads to the ubiquitous presence of plastic
particles in natural environments. Plastic particles could interact with kaolinite (one type of …

The uranyl ion (UO2) 2+, a uranium nuclear waste, is one of the serious contaminants in our
