The efficacy of ferrihydrite in remediating Cd-contaminated soil is tightly regulated by Fe(II)-induced mineralogical transformations. Despite the common coexistence of iron minerals such as goethite and lepidocrocite, which can act as templates for secondary mineral formation, the impact of these minerals on Fe(II)-induced ferrihydrite transformation and the associated Cd fate have yet to be elucidated. Herein, we investigated the simultaneous evolution of secondary minerals and Cd speciation during Fe(II)-induced ferrihydrite transformation in the presence of goethite versus lepidocrocite.

Several groundwater quality investigations have been conducted in coastal regions that are commonly exposed to multiple anthropogenic stressors. Nonetheless, such studies remain challenging because they require focused-diagnostic approaches for a comprehensive understanding of groundwater contamination. Therefore, this study integrates a multi-tracer approach to acquire comprehensive information allowing for an improved understanding of the origins of groundwater contamination, the relative contribution of contaminants, and their biogeochemical cycling within a coastal groundwater system.

Article Synopsis
  • Nano-self-assembly of natural organic matter (NOM) plays a critical role in affecting both NOM and pollutant dynamics in complex environments, highlighting the need for advanced analysis methods.
  • Machine learning (ML) is proposed as a valuable tool for interpreting NOM self-assembly processes by utilizing big data to explore structure-property relationships and environmental impacts.
  • The review emphasizes the importance of developing new ML algorithms and frameworks to address challenges in data interpretation, while also proposing an integrated research approach that combines ML, experiments, and theoretical models for better understanding NOM-related environmental issues.

The natural minerals with semiconducting properties possess photochemical activity through generating reactive oxygen species (ROSs) and affect the fate of adsorbed organic pollutants. Iron oxyhydroxides occur in different polymorphic structures under various geological and climatic conditions in natural environment. However, the difference in their photoactivity has not been well understood.

Iron (Fe) (oxyhydr)oxides and natural organic matter (NOM) are active substances ubiquitously found in sediments. Their coupled transformation plays a crucial role in the fate and release risk of heavy metal(loid)s (HMs) in lake sediments. Therefore, it is essential to systematically obtain relevant knowledge to elucidate their potential mechanism, and whether HMs provide immobilization or mobilization effect in this ternary system.
