Labile Fe (III) phase (includes Fe (III) aq, Fe (III) ads, or Fe (III) s species) is an important
intermediate during the interaction between Fe (II) and Fe (III)(oxyhydr) oxides, but how does …

Stabilization of organic matter in soil is important for natural ecosystem to sequestrate
carbon and mitigate greenhouse gas emission. It is largely unknown what factors govern the …

The availability of heavy metals in terrestrial environments is largely controlled by their
interactions with minerals and organic matter, with iron minerals having a particularly strong …

Petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical studies have been carried out on beneficiated
coal products from mines and preparation plants in the Santa Catarina Basin, southern …

Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to study the dynamic properties of water at
the silica− liquid interface at ambient temperature. Three different degrees of hydroxylation …

Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been
