Sequential leaching methods have been used for the speciation of Be, Ni, and V in five soil samples from Csepel Island on the Danube river located near an oil-fired power plant. The concentrations of the elements of the extracts were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The total efficiency (the sum of the extracted metals divided by metal fraction which is soluble in aqua regia) of the five-step method was always higher. The difference for Ni was considerable, because of the high abundance of Ni found in the moderately reducible fraction, which is absent from the three-step method. The sum of the mobile species (exchangeable, carbonatic, and easily reducible) determined by both methods, were in reasonable agreement; this was not so for the individual fractions. There were greater differences between the non-mobile fractions (moderately reducible and oxidizable), because of the presence or absence of the moderately reducible fraction. For both methods there was good correlation between the oxidizable fraction and the organic matter content of the soils.

This perspective focuses on the modulation of metal-support interaction (MSI) in catalysts for CO hydrogenation, highlighting their profound impact on catalytic performance. Firstly, it outlines different strategies, including the use of highly reducible oxides and moderate reduction treatments, which induce the classical strong metal-support interaction (SMSI) effect and the electronic metal-support interaction (EMSI) effect. Morphology engineering and crystalline phase manipulation of oxides presented as effective methods to control EMSI are also discussed.

Article Synopsis
- The dry reforming of methane (DRM) process is gaining importance for reducing greenhouse gases (CH and CO) while producing syngas amid global warming concerns.
- Strontium-promoted Lanthanum-zirconia supported Ni catalysts were studied and showed different types of CO-interacting species, impacting their effectiveness in the DRM reactions.
- To optimize hydrogen yield (around 60% in 420 minutes), it's vital to balance the active Ni sites and CO-interacting components in the catalyst.
[Pollution Characteristics, Risk Assessment, and Source Analysis of Heavy Metals in Soil from a Typical Abandoned Antimony Smelting Factory].

Article Synopsis
- A study was conducted on soil from an abandoned antimony smelting factory in Guizhou Province, collecting 14 soil samples to assess heavy metal pollution, focusing on elements like Sb, As, and Cd.
- Results showed high concentrations of heavy metals in the soil, particularly Sb and As, which significantly exceeded background levels, indicating severe contamination.
- The ecological risk assessment revealed that Sb, As, and Cd posed severe risks, while other metals presented moderate to substantial risks; Sb was identified as a critical pollutant needing remediation.
Fe(III) reduction mediates vanadium release and reduction in vanadium contaminated paddy soil under different organic amendments.

Vanadium(V) contaminated soil is abundant in iron(Fe) oxides due to co-occurrence of V and Fe bearing minerals. However, biogeochemical transformation of redox-active V and Fe in soil, and the bacteria involved, has remained less investigated. This study explored the extent to which microbial mediated organic decomposition coupled to Fe(III) reduction contributed to V(V) release/reduction in V-contaminated paddy soil under different organic amendments.
