A novel composite of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) and molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) was prepared by using dopamine (DA) as a template molecule. Selective copolymerization methacrylic acid trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (copoly(MAA-co-TRIM)) in the presence DA achieved at vinyl group functionalized MWNT surface. Vinyl groups modified on MWNTs surface are key factor for formation MWNTs-MIPs. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission...

The mobility of chromium (Cr) is controlled by minerals, especially iron (oxyhydr)oxides. influence organic carbon (OC) on the and fate Cr(VI) during Fe(II)-induced transformation (oxyhydr)oxide, however, still unclear. We investigate how low-weight carboxyl-rich OC influences ferrihydrite (Fh) controls Cr(VI/III) in reducing environments Cr formation secondary Fe minerals stabilization OC. With respect to presence retards growth goethite crystals stabilizes lepidocrocite for a longer time....

The fixation of environmentally hazardous Cr(VI) in soils is largely attributed to its retention by iron (Fe) (oxyhydr)oxides the soil environment, which are prevailingly associated with organic carbon (OC). effect OC different binding strengths on adsorption and mobility fate during aging Fe (oxyhydr)oxide however, unknown. Here we investigate how strength influences ferrihydrite (Fh) organominerals, Fh organominerals subsequent or release as proceeds. We conduct experiments onto apply...

Evaporites of Middle Miocene Badenian stage occur widely in basins from the Carpathian Mountain region (Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine), but their source formation process are still debatable. A detailed boron isotope study combination with previous chlorine chemistry data salt samples three localities (Wieliczka mine, Trans-Carpathian Basin, East Slovakian Basin) reveal ranges δ11B (−4.5 to +35.7‰) δ37Cl (−0.2 +0.8‰). Modelling calculation indicates that both Rayleigh fractionation...

Various green materials like biochar and Fe0 (nano-scale zerovalent iron, nZVI) have been applied to remediate aqueous Cr(VI) contamination, but few studies tried further improve the performance of nZVI and/or composites with different sulfidation methods. Here, we modified a hybrid material nZVI@biochar Na2S pyrite (FeS2), it remove under experimental conditions, revealed key factors influencing removal performance. The results show that loading is an effective method increase Fe S contents...

The activation of persulfate with vanadium titano-magnetite for dinitrotoluene (2,4-DNT) degradation was investigated the first time. New findings showed that this titano-magnetite/persulfate system exhibited high efficiency 2,4-DNT. Effects initial solution pH and coexisting inorganic anions (i.e., Cl-, NO3- HCO3- ) on were also evaluated during experiments. •OH is dominant radical repeatability test material still had activity after repeated utilization, 2,4-DNT reduced by 15.6%, which...
