The present study gathers mineralogical and isotopic geochemical data of 45 soil samples collected from the and wineries (Southern Italy) in order to provide useful information for the geotraceability of white wine . Mineralogical analyses show the ubiquitous presence of quartz, frequent and moderate contents of feldspars and phyllosilicates (i.e., illite/mica, kaolinite, and smectite). Rhizosphere soils from vineyards show a strontium isotope signature (Sr/Sr) ranging from 0.708604 to 0.711234 (average 0.710334; 1σ = 0.000943; = 7) for the total fraction and a narrower range (from 0.706907 to 0.708807; average 0.708120; 1σ = 0.000641; = 7) for the bioavailable one. For the rhizosphere soils collected from the vineyards of winery, Sr/Sr ratios range from 0.708268 to 0.712413 (average 0.710145; 1σ = 0.001622; = 8) and from 0.707968 to 0.709157 (average 0.708384; 1σ = 0.000409; = 8) for the total and the bioavailable fraction, respectively. Actually, the bioavailable Sr fraction shows a narrower range of Sr/Sr ratios compared to that of the total fraction, making the former more suitable for any study of wine traceability.

Enhanced weathering and carbon dioxide (CO) mineralization of ultramafic mine wastes, including kimberlite residues from diamond mining, provides secure storage of this greenhouse gas and may physically stabilize mine impoundments. Yet, the outcomes of these processes over extensive periods (i.e.

The Higher and Tethys Himalayan region of NW-Himalaya is less explored from the natural radioactivity mapping assessment, though geologically and tectonically, this region is still active. The concentration of primordial radionuclides (Ra, Th, and K) in rock samples of the Manali-Leh Highway region of the Himalayas is determined in the present study using the HPGe detector. The radiological hazard parameters are also estimated in terms of radium equivalent activity (Ra), annual effective dose (E and E), hazard indices (H, H, H, and H), and gamma absorbed dose rate.

The current framework for managing construction waste, guided by European Union regulations, calls for an integrated waste management system. However, the reuse of old plaster waste, particularly from deteriorated facades, remains underexplored. This study investigates the potential of repurposing old plaster waste as a substitute for aggregates and cement in mortars, with the aim of promoting environmental sustainability and resource efficiency.

This study exposes U(VI)-sorbed schwertmannite and jarosite to biotic reductive incubations under field-relevant conditions and examines the changes in aqueous and solid-phase speciation of U, Fe, and S as well as associated microbial communities over 180 days. The chemical, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and microscopic data demonstrated that the U(VI)-sorbed schwertmannite underwent a rapid reductive dissolution and solid-phase transformation to goethite, during which the surface-sorbed U(VI) was partly reduced and mostly repartitioned to monomeric U(VI)/U(IV) complexes by carboxyl and phosphoryl ligands on biomass or organic substances. Furthermore, the microbial data suggest that these processes were likely driven by the consecutive developments of fermentative and sulfate- and iron- reducing microbial communities.

New remains of a Taymyr mammoth, including bones, bone collagen, hairs, skin, and soft (muscle and fat) tissues were studied comprehensively by mineralogical, spectroscopic, chromatographic, and isotope-geochemical methods. The results were used to infer the mammoth's biological age and diet, paleoclimatic conditions, and the mechanisms and degree of fossilization of the remains.
