Dimethyldithioarsinic acid (DMDTA(V)), present in such intense sources as municipal landfill leachate, has drawn a great deal of attention due to its abundant occurrence and different aspect of toxicity. The hydrosulfide (HS(-)) concentration in leachate was studied as a major variable affecting the formation of DMDTA(V). To this end, the HPLC-ICPMS system equipped with the reversed-phase C18 column was used to determine DMDTA(V).

Article Synopsis
- Lithium manganese oxide adsorbents have been created to extract lithium from seawater efficiently, but microfouling by marine bacteria poses a challenge.
- Research conducted involved using both coated and non-coated frames of these adsorbents to identify bacterial species responsible for fouling, focusing on samples collected over 30 days.
- The study found that Pseudoalteromonas and Vibrio were the main bacteria on the non-coated adsorbents, while the antifouling agent significantly reduced Vibrio presence, highlighting the effectiveness of antifouling strategies for improving lithium recovery.
