Heavy metal pollution has resulted in serious environmental damage and raised significant
public health concerns. One potential solution in terminal waste treatment is to structurally …

Hg II contaminants tend to be soluble in the anoxic sediments, which would potentially
deteriorate the traditional solidification/stabilization (S/S) process. The thiol-functionalized …

Mercury (Hg) contamination in paddy soils poses a health risk to rice consumers and the
environmental behavior of Hg determines its toxicity. Thus, the variations of Hg speciation …

To estimate the risks and developing remediation strategies for the mercury (Hg)-
contaminated soils, it is crucial to understand the mechanisms of Hg transformation and …

Thermal treatment of mercury (Hg)-contaminated soil was studied to investigate the
desorption behavior of Hg at different temperatures. The soil samples were collected from …

The Amazon region abounds in precious mineral resources including gold, copper, iron, and
coltan. Artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) poses a severe risk in this area due to …

The issue of mercury (Hg) is becoming a growing concern in the Amazon basin. The
Madeira River is known for intense artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM), and Hg …

Artisanal small-scale gold mining (ASGM), an increasingly prevalent activity in South
America, generates mercury-contaminated tailings that are often disposed of in the …

Mercury sulfides (HgS), one of the largest Hg sinks in the lithosphere, has long been
considered to be highly inert. Recently, several HgS speciation (eg, nano-or micro-sized …

In this study, to clarify the evolution of Hg during the heating process of iron ore, a
combination of sequential leaching and temperature-programmed heat treatment (TPHT) …
