Heavy metal (HM) pollution of soils is a globally important ecological and environmental
problem. Previous studies have focused on i) tracking pollution sources in HM-contaminated …

Heavy metals are widespread toxic environmental pollutants that can generate enormous
health and public concern. Iron (oxyhydr) oxides are ubiquitous in both natural and …

Fe (hydr) oxides and organic matter (OM) are two of the main active substances ubiquitously
occurring in natural environments. Fe (hydr) oxides rarely exist as a discrete component in …

Iron (Fe) oxides are widely recognized to prevent the degradation of organic matter (OM) in
environments, thereby promoting the persistence of organic carbon (OC) in soils. Thus …

The mineral-organo composites control the speciation, mobility and bioavailability of heavy
metals in soils and sediments by surface adsorption and precipitation. The dynamic changes …

As consequence of the dual demands for pollution control and carbon (C) fixation in soils, Fe
(II)-catalyzed mineral transformation may be a promising method to simultaneously …

Synthetic functional biochar using agricultural waste as raw materials not only serves as an
effective means for recycling waste but can also be employed for the remediation of heavy …

Arsenic mobility in soils, sediments and groundwater systems is strongly controlled by
adsorption occurring at iron oxide/water interfaces, and the extent of this adsorption may be …

Cadmium (Cd) contamination of soils is a global problem, particularly in paddy soils. Fe
oxides, as a key fraction of paddy soils, can significantly affect the environmental behavior of …

Goethite, hematite, ferrihydrite, and other iron oxides bind through various sorption reactions
with humic substances (HS) in soils creating nano-, micro-, and macro-aggregates with a …
