The persistence and bioaccumulation of environmental pollutants in water bodies, soils and
living tissues remain alarmingly related to environmental protection and ecosystem …

Over recent decades there has been a great deal of interest and associated research into
aspects of the f-block (lanthanide and actinide) metal chemistry of naturally-occurring …

Humic acid can effectively bind metals and is a promising adsorbent for remediation
technologies. Our studies initially focussed on Cu 2+ as a common aqueous contaminant …

Wetlands are specific areas able to regulate metals mobility in the environment. Among
metals, rare earth elements (REE) appear to be particularly interesting because of the …

The ability of biochar to immobilize metals relies on the amount of functional groups at its
surface but the contribution of each functional groups (eg carboxylic, phenolic) to metal …

Soil contains large amounts of humic acid (HA), iron ions and manganese ions, all of which
affect U (VI) migration in the soil. HA interacts with iron and manganese ions to form HA salts …

Many wetlands around the world act as sinks for pollutants, in particular for trace elements.
In comparison to terrestrial environments, wetlands are still far less studied. A collaborative …

The role of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on the biochemical behavior and toxicity of
heavy metals in water is very important but complex and unclear. The present work extracted …

Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) is a powerful separation and
analytical technique in the field of analytical chemistry. This review provides an update of …

Rare earth elements (REE) have raised significant environmental concern due to their
increasing use in human activities and subsequent release into the environment. Hence, in …
