Zirconium clusters of UiO-66 have been hydroxylated with NaOH to generate strong binding sites for As(III) species in wastewater treatment. Hydroxylated UiO-66 provides high adsorption capacity over a wide range of pH from 1 to 10 with a maximum uptake of 204 mg g, which is significantly enhanced compared to those of pristine UiO-66, acid-modulated UiO-66, and other adsorbents for use in a wide pH range of treatment processes. The local structure of hydroxylated sites and As(III) adsorption mechanism are determined by extended X-ray absorption fine structure combined with density functional theory calculations.

Cadmium （Cd） and arsenic （As） often coexist in water and agricultural soils around mining areas, and it is difficult to remove them at the same time due to their opposite chemical behaviors. Therefore, this study employed a co-precipitation-pyrolysis method to synthesize silica-based magnetic biochar （SMB） materials for the remediation of water contaminated with both Cd and As. The optimization of preparation conditions involved introducing three different types of silicates （NaSiO, CaSiO,and SiO） into the biomass-magnetite mixture, followed by pyrolysis at various temperatures （300℃, 500℃, and 700℃）, and the optimal preparation conditions were determined based on the composite batch experiments.

Combining chemical oxidation and adsorption is highly desirable but challenging to remove organoarsenic compounds for water purification. Herein, we prepared a Zn-doped CuO (CuZnO-2) catalyst by incorporating Zn atoms into the CuO lattice, which results in abundant surface oxygen vacancies (OVs) and modulates the electronic structure of Cu-OVs-Zn sites for PMS activation to degrade p-arsanilic acid (p-ASA) and adsorb the secondary arsenic species simultaneously. The elevated d-band centers for Cu upward to the Fermi level can significantly strengthen the adsorption of PMS, p-ASA, and the generated arsenic species.

Methanogenic archaea are known to play a crucial role in the biogeochemical cycling of arsenic (As); however, the molecular basis of As transformation mediated by methanogenic archaea remains poorly understood. Herein, the characterization of the redox transformation and methylation of As by , a model methanogenic archaeon, is reported. was demonstrated to mediate As(V) reduction via a cytoplasmic As reductase (ArsC) in the exponential phase of methanogenic growth and to methylate As(III) via a cytoplasmic As(III) methyltransferase (ArsM) in the stationary phase.

ZnAlFe mixed metal oxides (ZnAlFe-MMOs) were synthesized from layered double hydroxides (LDHs) prepared by the coprecipitation method at pH 9 using an initial weight composition of Zn = 75%, Al = 15% and Fe = 10%, with or without the addition of citric or oxalic acid. The solids were calcined at 400 °C to obtain the respective MMOs, which exhibited relatively high specific surface areas (165.3-63.

The treatment of heavy metal(loid) (HM) composite pollution has long posed a challenge for the bioremediation of organohalide-contaminated sites. Given the prevalent cohabitation of sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) with organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB), we proposed a sulfate-amendment strategy to achieve synergistic remediation of trichloroethene and diverse HMs [50μM of As(III), Ni(II), Cu(II), Pb(II)]. Correspondingly, 50-75 μM sulfate was introduced to HM inhibitory batches to investigate the enhancement effect of sulfate amendment on bio-dechlorination.
