The continuous depletion of minerals caused by land mining and the increase in their demand have pushed the development of novel sustainable technological processes for mineral recovery from unconventional sources. In this context, magnesium (Mg) has gained considerable attention for its peculiar properties and high relevance of its compounds, such as magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH). In the present work, the influence of several operating conditions on the Mg(OH) precipitation process was thoroughly investigated by adopting a novel multiple feed-plug flow reactor. The influence of (i) initial Mg concentrations in the feed stream; (ii) brine and alkaline flow rates; and (iii) the product recycling strategy (seeded crystallization) was considered. The results marked the possibility of improving sedimentation and filterability properties of Mg(OH) suspensions by adopting the recycling strategy to overcome industrial issues associated with the production of Mg(OH) suspensions using NaOH solutions.

Trial of alginates in throat symptoms: protocol for a pragmatic, multicentre, placebo controlled, double blind, parallel, randomised controlled trial of liquid alginate (Gaviscon Advance) for the treatment of persistent throat symptoms.

Introduction: Persistent throat symptoms (PTS) are indicators for over 60 000 new patient referrals to NHS secondary care annually. PTS have been attributed to manifestation of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) with the hypothesis that gastric refluxate damages and irritates the mucosa of the upper aerodigestive tract. Symptoms of PTS and GORD are commonly treated with proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) or alginates are often, incorrectly, advocated.

Article Synopsis
- The study developed GG/SA/Mg-Al-LDH composite microspheres (G-LDH) using natural polymers, which significantly improved adsorption of Congo red and hexavalent chromium compared to traditional Mg/Al-LDH.
- G-LDH demonstrated an average particle size of 400-900 nm and a unique microsphere shape, with high adsorption capacities of 361.6 mg/g for Congo red and 461.7 mg/g for chromium solutions.
- The adsorption behavior of G-LDH aligns with the Langmuir isotherm model, indicating an efficient, spontaneous process suitable for low-cost water treatment applications.
Experiments outside the lab come with new responsibilities.

The coadsorption of anionic and cationic pollutants on adsorbents holds considerable importance in the development of relevant removal technologies and the understanding of pollutant transport in complex environmental media. Herein, tungsten (W), an emerging contaminant, and nickel (Ni) were chosen as two differently charged inorganic pollutants to investigate their removal characteristics on a magnesium-aluminum layered double hydroxide (LDH) prepared via microwave radiation. In the single systems, the amount of adsorbed W on LDH was initially increased and then decreased with increasing initial W concentration.

Background: Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are promising candidates for biodegradable materials in next-generation bone implants due to their favourable mechanical properties and biodegradability. However, their rapid degradation and corrosion, potentially leading to toxic byproducts, pose significant challenges for widespread use.
Objectives: This study aimed to address the challenges associated with Mg-based materials by thoroughly evaluating the biocompatibility, genotoxicity, and mechanical properties of Mg-based devices manufactured via Single Point Incremental Forming (SPIF).
