Summary: Field and laboratory observations show that the efficiency of hydraulic fracturing is affected by geochemical alterations to rock surfaces, which can block pore and fracture networks. The study focuses on changes to fluid chemistry and shale surfaces resulting from shale-fluid interactions. Different shale samples have different responses to fluid injection, indicating the importance of understanding the specific characteristics of the formation.

Summary: This study aimed to test the reliability of pre-drilling water quality observations in assessing the impacts of later gas drilling. The research was conducted in a shale gas basin where hydraulic fracturing had not yet occurred. The findings showed that methane concentrations in groundwater can vary naturally through time due to changes in the mixture of freshwater and deeper formation brine extracted by wells, and not necessarily as a result of gas drilling. Therefore, comprehensive sampling and testing prior to drilling are necessary to distinguish the causes of changing methane concentrations.

Summary: This paper examines the issue of hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in the Marcellus Shale and highlights the tradeoffs between economic benefits and environmental impacts. The Marcellus region has the largest proven reserves of natural gas in the US, but fracking has detrimental effects on wildlife and habitats. To achieve a more sustainable balance, it is recommended that industry, scientists, and regulators work together to develop best management practices.

Summary: This study evaluates secondary mineral precipitation and permeability attenuation in carbonate-rich shale samples from the Delaware Basin using laboratory and synchrotron-based techniques. The results demonstrate that carbonate-rich shales have strong neutralization abilities towards acidic fracturing fluid and that the contribution of the acid spearhead to rock permeability enhancement is limited. This has important implications for acidizing carbonate-rich shale formations and iron transformations within these shales.

Summary: Studying the microscopic characteristics of shale can provide a theoretical basis for evaluating its macroscopic mechanical properties and fracturability. Different types of quartz in shale have different effects on the quality of shale oil/gas reservoirs. This study used finite element numerical simulation to set up different models based on the microscopic occurrence states of quartz, and found that the size and occurrence mode of quartz have a significant impact on shale compressive strength, while quartz content has the most significant influence on shale brittleness. The presence of quartz particles can enhance the compressive strength of shale and form complex fracture networks.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of supercritical carbon dioxide injection on the geomechanics of kerogen in shale formations. It reveals that the injection of supercritical carbon dioxide alters the mechanical behavior of kerogen, leading to a decrease in ductility under applied stress. This research provides nano-scale insights into the advantages of using supercritical carbon dioxide to degrade the mechanical integrity of organic matters contained in shales, supporting the value of carbon dioxide sequestration in shale formations.

Summary: This study investigated the degradation pathways and kinetics of CNB under varying treatment conditions and times using electrochemical AOP. Non-targeted mass spectrometry revealed multiple ring hydroxylation and ring opening products that became increasingly harder to chemically oxidize over time. The results suggest that a combination of limited and targeted chemical oxidation followed by biodegradation of incomplete oxidation products is a more sustainable approach for treating groundwater contaminated with CNBs and other aromatic compounds.

Summary: The study demonstrates that modifying granular activated carbon (GAC) with cationic polymer poly dia-llyldimethylammonium chloride (polyDADMAC) enhances its adsorption capacity for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs). The modified GAC shows effective adsorption even in the presence of competing ions. Additionally, low-power ultrasound can be used to desorb PFASs from the polyDADMAC-GAC, making it a regenerable adsorbent.

Summary: Recent studies have identified the significant role of ion dehydration in the permeation of small ions through polyamide membranes. In this study, the researchers quantified the intrinsic permeability and activation enthalpy and entropy for a variety of ions in polyamide nanofiltration membranes. The results showed a correlation between hydration strength and enthalpic barrier, with smaller bare ions experiencing smaller entropic losses after dehydration. The measured activation enthalpies suggested that ions are only partially dehydrated. Additionally, simulations at higher temperatures and experimental results in a pressure-driven system revealed higher permeation rates and reversed ion-ion selectivity, indicating the activation of ion transport through ion dehydration when additional energy is supplied.

Summary: Thermal treatment is the only technology currently available for destroying per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in wastes. However, concerns exist about the emission of incomplete combustion products from incinerators. Researchers used advanced theory to investigate the thermal destruction pathways and mechanisms of PFAS, and ranked them based on thermal stability. The results showed that PFAS can be effectively destroyed at temperatures lower than other commonly incinerated organic compounds. Rating: 8/10.

Summary: Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent and widespread contaminants that can be found in unconventional water resources. Electrochemical oxidation, low-temperature plasma treatment, and sonolysis are three commercially available advanced water treatment technologies that can effectively destroy PFAS. Each technology has specific aspects that depend on water quality and quantity, making them suitable for different applications. These technologies offer practical and field-ready solutions to tap into unconventional water resources by destroying PFAS to very low levels.

Summary: The objective of this study is to incorporate soil hydraulic properties into the erodibility factor (K) of USLE-type models. By modifying and improving the existing equations for soil texture and permeability, the study successfully included information on saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) into the calculation of K factor. Using the Random Forest machine learning algorithm, two independent K factor maps with different spatial resolutions were generated. The results show that the decrease in K factor values has a positive impact on the modeling of soil erosion rates.

Summary: Atmospheric PM2.5, which can generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), is associated with cardiorespiratory morbidity and mortality. The study found that both the mass concentration of PM2.5 and the DTT activity were higher during the heating season than during the nonheating season. Combustion sources were the primary contributors to DTT activity during the heating season, while secondary formation dominated during the nonheating season. The study also revealed that biomass burning had the highest inherent oxidation potential among all sources investigated.

Aluminum was found in tumor areas of 24% of patients and was associated with epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) and cell death. Additional analyses revealed higher tumor mutational burden and mutations in genes related to EMT and apoptosis in aluminum-positive colon cancers. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of aluminum toxicity may improve strategies for the management of colon cancer patients.
