Boron, which is an essential element for plants, is toxic to humans and animals at high concentrations. Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) and thermally activated LDHs have shown good uptake of a range of boron species in laboratory scale experiments when compared to current available methods, which are for the most part ineffective or prohibitively expensive. LDHs were able to remove anions from water by anion exchange, the reformation (or memory) effect and direct precipitation. The main mechanism of boron uptake appeared to be anion exchange, which was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Solution pH appeared to have little effect on boron sorption while thermal activation did not always significantly improve boron uptake. In addition, perpetration of numerous LDHs with varying boron anions in the interlayer region by direct co-precipitation and anion exchange have been reported by a number of groups. The composition and orientation of the interlayer boron ions could be identified with reasonable certainty by applying a number of characterisation techniques including: powder XRD, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. There is still considerable scope for future research on the application of LDHs for the removal of boron contaminants. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Summary: This study established a model to investigate the dispersion and transport processes of common microplastics in river sediments, finding that lower density microplastics are more mobile and different types of plastics exhibit varying levels of mobility in sediment. The study results suggest that river sediments may act as pollution sinks for microplastics.

Water-sediment interactions and mobility of heavy metals in aquatic environments

Lorena S. Miranda, Buddhi Wijesiri, Godwin A. Ayoko, Prasanna Egodawatta, Ashantha Goonetilleke

Summary: The study reveals that the mineralogical composition of sediments plays a crucial role in the adsorption and desorption of heavy metals. Particulate organic matter is the most influential nutrient in heavy metals adsorption in riverine environments, while particulate phosphorus is more significant in estuarine conditions. Dissolved nutrients do not have a significant positive effect on the release of heavy metals in riverine areas, but dissolved phosphorus increases the transfer of specific metals from sediments to overlying water in estuarine conditions.

Zili Jiang, Fengting Sun, Ray L. Frost, Godwin Ayoko, Guangren Qian, Xiuxiu Ruan

Summary: The study showed that unassembled LDHs exhibited greater adsorption capacities and shorter equilibrium time for methyl orange, possibly due to their loose structure and more exposed adsorption sites. This suggests that unassembled LDHs could be an effective pathway for exploring the adsorption sites of LDHs.

Summary: The integration of heavy metal leaching based on the PROFILE weathering model into the steady-state critical load (SSCL) of heavy metals was conducted to assess the environmental capacity of agro-ecosystem. The leaching rates of Hg, As, Cd, Cr, Pb, Cu, and Zn in paddy soil were quantified, and their correlations with pH, CaO, TFe2O3, and Corg were analyzed. Atmospheric deposition, rice plant uptake, and leaching were identified as the main input and output pathways for heavy metals in agricultural soil. The SSCL model provides new insights for the establishment of environment management in agricultural soils.

Surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) as a template for porous polymer synthesis

Jonas Blahnik, Jennifer Schuster, Rainer Mueller, Eva Mueller, Werner Kunz

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
