Pyrite affects the adsorption of tylosin (TYL) due to their coexistence in the lake system. As well as the reactivity groups of S-S-H, S-OH, and Fe-OH, defects also have the possibilities to influence the adsorption of organic contaminants. However, the role of these active sites in antibiotic adsorption on pyrite has not been deeply studied. Besides, pH, N, P, dissolved oxygen, and dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluctuate greatly in lake at different seasons, which may change the surface characteristics of pyrite. Hence, the adsorption of TYL on natural pyrite considered solution chemistry and DOM in lake water was explored in this study. The fitting results of the kinetic and isotherm models showed that the adsorption included physical and chemical interactions. The neutral initial solution pH was conductive to TYL adsorption owing to the combined result of electrostatic and cover of Fe-oxyhydroxide. NO and NH had no effect on TYL adsorption, whereas HPO promoted adsorption by forming flocculent Fe(HPO) precipitates. The dissolved oxygen increased adsorption. This is due to the co-promotion of the pyrite oxidation by oxygen and sulfur defects. The Fe(II)-DOM complex caused by pyrite surface oxidation reduced the concentration of TYL in solution by gathering. Except for the surface charge, reactivity groups on pyrite significantly influenced the adsorption of TYL. The bond fracture of S-S resulted in sulfur defects that contributed to pyrite oxidation. As a result, Fe(III)/Fe(II) on the surface of pyrite or in solution produced a complex Fe(III)/Fe(II) with anions and DOM. In addition, Fe(III)-S on sulfur defects interacted with the O-H of TYL through hydrogen bonding. Furthermore, the Fe-O-C bond is formed by the interaction of C-OH on TYL and Fe(III) (hydr)oxides on the surface of pyrite. The study provides a deep insight into the effect of pyrite surface active sites on amphoteric antibiotic adsorption. It helps to understand antibiotic migration and interactions with widespread pyrite in the real environment.

By analyzing the chemical characteristics of the formation water in the tight sandstone reservoirs of the P2x8 and P1s1 in the southern Ordos Basin, combined with rock mineral composition, reservoir physical properties, and well gas testing data, the genesis mechanism of formation water and its guiding role in gas reservoir development were discussed. The results show that the formation water is derived from the mixture of syngenetic seawater and meteoric water and has undergone remarkable modification by water-rock interactions, showing characteristics of Ca enrichment and Mg and SO depletion. The albitization of plagioclase in reservoir rock components causes Ca excess and Na deficiency in formation water, while the chloritization of albite leads to the increase of Na.

In recent years, the Telaaobao Mineral Area in the Northwestern Ordos Basin has been newly discovered as a uranium mineralization area with its ore-bearing target layer located within the Lower Cretaceous Huanhe Formation, belonging to a new area and a new layer, and has great uranium deposit formation potential. In order to deeply study the issues of the ore-bearing target in this area, such as the petrology, mineralogy, and uranium mineralization of the ore-bearing sandstone, based on the data from field geological investigation and drill core logging, the petrological characteristics of the ore-bearing sandstone of the target layer are preliminarily interpreted using a polarizing microscope and a scanning electron microscope, and the uranium mineral composition, uranium occurrence state, and uranium deposit mineralization are investigated through the electron probe microanalysis technique in this paper. The results show that the target layer sandstone in the study area has the characteristics of proximal deposit and has undergone significant epigenetic alteration and transformation, producing favorable conditions for uranium- and oxygen-containing water transportation and uranium mineralization.

Wetlands, as crucial terrestrial carbon reservoirs, have recently suffered severe degradation due to intense human activities. Lacustrine sediments serve as vital indicators for understanding wetland environmental changes. In the current paper, porewater samples were extracted from lacustrine sediment in three boreholes with a depth of ~75 cm in the Huixian karst wetland, southwest China, to study the chemical and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) evolution under anthropogenic influence.

The transition to net zero emissions requires the capture of carbon dioxide from industrial point sources, and direct air capture (DAC) from the atmosphere for geological storage. Dissolved CO has reactivity to rock core, and while the majority of previous studies have concentrated on reservoir rock or cap-rock reactivity, the underlying seal formation may also react with CO. Drill core from the underlying seal of a target CO storage site was reacted at in situ conditions with pure CO, and compared with an impure CO stream with SO, NO and O that could be expected from hard to abate industries.

Quantification of modal mineralogy in drill-core samples is crucial for understanding the geology and metal deportment in a mining operation. This study assesses conventional procedures to quantify modal mineralogy, that includes an initial drill-core logging, followed by petrographic descriptions and SEM-based automated mineralogy analyses performed in selected regions of interest, against a novel approach using laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). Our proposed methodology aims to quantify the modal mineralogy directly in a drill-core sample, avoiding previous stages of selection and preparation of samples.
