Cadmium (Cd) and arsenic (As) are commonly co-adsorbed onto iron oxides in the soil environment, especially in south China. This study aimed to elucidate the regulatory mechanisms in determining the As(Ⅴ)-Cd(Ⅱ) interactions on a goethite interface after excluding pH interference. At pH 6.0, the results obtained illustrated that As(Ⅴ) and Cd(Ⅱ) adsorbed onto goethite obeyed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption processes were mainly chemical adsorption. Furthermore, As(Ⅴ) adsorbed onto goethite were mainly inner ring adsorption and monolayer adsorption both in the single adsorption process and in co-adsorption processes with Cd(Ⅱ). For comparison, Cd(Ⅱ) adsorbed onto goethite also demonstrated inner ring adsorption and monolayer adsorption during single adsorption, and As(Ⅴ)-Cd(Ⅱ) co-adsorption were transformed to outer ring adsorption and multilayer adsorption processes. Through analysis by Zeta potential, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electrostatic adsorption and formation of ternary complexes (Fe-As-Cd) were proven to be the critical mechanisms in determining the interactions between As(Ⅴ) and Cd(Ⅱ) during their co-adsorption processes. The results obtained in this study should help us to further understand the micro-chemical interaction processes of heavy metals on the soil environment.

Microorganisms that utilize organic matter to reduce Fe oxides/hydroxides constitute the primary geochemical processes controlling the formation of high-arsenic (As) groundwater. Biogenic secondary iron minerals play a significant role in As migration. However, the influence of quinone electron shuttles and competitive anionic phosphate on this process has not been thoroughly studied.

The anionic species of antimony(V) and phosphate(V) are commonly found in the contaminated soil of mining areas, exerting a significant influence on the sorption of heavy metals and thus affecting their migration. This study quantitatively discussed the sorption mechanism of Sb and P in promoting the sorption of Cd or Cu on goethite through a series of extraction methods. In the single sorption system, the majority of Cu (87-98%) is adsorbed on goethite in the form of EDTA-extractable Cu (EF Cu, possibly inner-sphere complexes) under pH conditions of 3.

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.

Article Synopsis
- Environmental DNA (eDNA) interacts differently with mineral surfaces, influencing its stability and behavior in the environment, particularly regarding its use in genetic detection tools.
- The study focused on herring testes DNA interacting with two iron oxides, α-FeOOH (goethite) and α-FeO (hematite), revealing that DNA adsorption is primarily through its phosphate groups and retains a B-form structure, though with some distortion on α-FeO surfaces.
- Stability tests showed that the melting temperature of adsorbed DNA varies with the mineral type and changes in pH, highlighting the significance of specific mineral interactions for eDNA stability in environmental conditions.
