Article Synopsis
  • Beudantite is a secondary mineral formed from the oxidation of sulfide-rich mining tailings, impacting the geochemical cycling of arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) at mine sites.
  • Research showed that when beudantite dissolves under varying pH conditions (2-8), it releases small amounts of As and Pb, with the release rate changing over time.
  • The study concludes that beudantite is a stable host for As and Pb, potentially reducing environmental and health risks by immobilizing these metals released from mining activities.

The electrocatalytic activity of carbon materials is highly dependent on the controlled modulation of their composition and porosity. Herein, mesoporous N-doped carbon with different amounts of nitrogen was synthesized through a unique strategy of using a high nitrogen containing CN precursor, 3-amino 1,2,4 triazine (3-ATZ) which is generally used for the preparation of carbon nitrides, integrated with the combination of a templating method and high temperature treatment. The nitrogen content and the graphitisation of the prepared materials were finely tuned with the simple adjustment of the carbonisation temperature (800-1100 °C).
