Effects of carbonate on ferrihydrite transformation in alkaline media

Environ. Sci.: Processes Impacts, 2024, 26,288-297
DOI: 10.1039/D3EM00469D, Paper
Ying Li, Chaoqun Zhang, Meijun Yang, Jing Liu, Hongping He, Yibing Ma, Yuji Arai
This study indicates that in alkaline media, carbonate slightly inhibits ferrihydrite transformation and suppresses goethite formation, but promotes hematite formation, which has important implications for elemental biogeochemical cycles.

In silico approaches for the prediction of the breakthrough of organic contaminants in wastewater treatment plants

Environ. Sci.: Processes Impacts, 2024, 26,400-410
DOI: 10.1039/D3EM00267E, Paper
Open Access Open Access

Characteristics and ecological risks of microplastic pollution in a tropical drinking water source reservoir in Hainan province, China

Environ. Sci.: Processes Impacts, 2024, 26,451-460
DOI: 10.1039/D3EM00528C, Paper
Ling Mo, Hongyu Fu, Qiyuan Lu, Sifan Chen, Ruijuan Liu, Jun Xiang, Qiao Xing, Licheng Wang, Kexin Sun, Bowen Li, Jing Zheng
The overall abundance of microplastics in water was 3.05 ± 1.16 items per L and in sediment was 0.15 ± 0.06 items per g dw. The pollution load index and the potential ecological hazards of microplastics in most sites are at a low level.
