Soil-formation process is critical to ecological rehabilitation on bauxite residue disposal areas. In this study, a soil column experiment was taken to assess the dynamic variations of soil-formation indicators in bauxite residue driven by the integration of waste solids and microorganisms. Results showed that the combination of waste solids and microorganisms significantly decreased the alkalinity, accumulated organic carbon content, and improved aggregate stability of bauxite residue. Compared with waste solids treatments, the addition of acid-producing microorganisms enhanced the changes of soil-formation indicators. The integration of waste solids and microorganisms increased the content of aliphatic carbon, presenting low thermal stability in the residues. The integration of waste solids and microorganisms provides a potentially effective method for soil formation and ecological remediation on bauxite residue disposal areas.

The assessment of research performance is widely seen as a vital tool in upholding the highest standards of quality, with selection and competition believed to drive progress. Academic institutions need to take critical decisions on hiring and promotion, while facing external pressure by also being subject to research assessment. Here we present an outlook on research assessment for career progression with specific focus on promotion to full professorship, based on 314 policies from 190 academic institutions and 218 policies from 58 government agencies, covering 32 countries in the Global North and 89 countries in the Global South.

Molten salt thermal treatment of solid waste is a promising way for energy recovery and pollutant removal. However, the migration of nitrogen during pyrolysis of waste tires poses a challenge for cleaner production. This study investigated nitrogen conversion pathways during waste tires pyrolysis using a binary NaOH-NaCO salt at 425, 500, and 575 °C.

In this study, the cavitation erosion (CE) behavior of wire-arc directed energy deposition (DED) nickel-aluminum bronze (NAB) alloys is compared with that of cast alloys, and the synergistic effect between corrosion and CE is investigated. The CE resistance of the wire-arc DED NAB alloy is better than that of the cast alloys. The CE of NAB alloys preferentially occurs at the boundaries of the α-Cu and residual β phases, and in the matrix around the κ phase.

The application of micro-nano size photovoltaic waste silicon (wSi) as an anode material for lithium-ion battery holds significant practical potential; However, it faces a series of challenges related to the volume expansion of Si during cycling. In this study, a simple, efficient, and eco-friendly microwave method is proposed for the rapid preparation of graphene-coated silicon materials (wSi@rGO) in just a few seconds, in which graphene as the stable interface mitigates structural failure caused by significant volume expansion, enhances electron and ion conductivity, inhibits undesirable side reactions between silicon and electrolyte, and promotes the stability of solid electrolyte interface (SEI). Importantly, the instantaneous high temperature generated by microwaves facilitates the formation of interfacial SiC chemical bonds, which strengthen the interaction between Si and graphene, thereby reducing Si delamination.

Sudden groundwater pollution in karst areas poses a serious threat to drinking water safety. Tracing contamination sources is crucial for managing and remediating groundwater pollution. Traditional tracing methods often lack accuracy, so this study combined multiple techniques to trace and quantify pollution sources near the municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill in Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, China.
