The sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB)-induced ferrihydrite transformation is an important cause for arsenic (As) contamination in the aquifer near mining area. Calcium carbonate (CaCO) is widespread and has the potential of regulating As fate directly or indirectly. However, the influence of CaCO on ferrihydrite transformation and the associated As mobilization/redistribution in SRB-containing environments remains unclear.

Natural building blocks like chitins for self-assembling into complex materials have garnered significant interest owing to the inherent and diverse functionalities. However, challenges persist in the assembly of chitin-based composites, primarily stemming from chitin's poor solubility and compatibility. Herein, a quercetin-mediated multiple crosslinking strategy was developed to enhance compatibility by quercetin-mediated interfacial interactions between chitin and inorganic materials, achieving a series of chitin-based composite hydrogels with high performances.

A population belonging to the C. intermedius group was recently found in an isolated limestone karst block in Kampot Province in southwestern Cambodia, part of which lies within the recently designated Phnom Preah Kuhear Loung Natural Heritage Site.

Two anti-dissolution mechanisms of aragonite in acidified artificial seawater were investigated by monitoring the dissolution process in the presence of organic and inorganic additives. Among them, the carboxyl functional group (RCOO) in PAA bonds with Ca and bicarbonate, while strong protonation of silicates directly binds to hydrogen ions from bicarbonate. These interactions ultimately form stable polymer-rich amorphous calcium carbonate and dense silica layers on the surface of aragonite, effectively inhibiting further dissolution under dissolved CO.
