Summary: This study investigated the combined effect of silver and pyrite on chalcopyrite bio-dissolution, showing that their presence increased the release of copper. The promotion effect of silver and pyrite on chalcopyrite bio-dissolution was mainly attributed to the increase of ferric ions in solution and the reduction of passivation layer on chalcopyrite surface.

Summary: Pyrite nanomaterials are effective in remediation of Cr(VI) contaminated wastewater, with hexapod-like pyrite nanosheet clusters showing higher removal efficiency than microspherulites. The enhanced removal rate of Cr(VI) is attributed to the increased dissolution of Fe(II) and S(-II) into the suspension. Additionally, the stability and longevity of hexapod-like pyrite nanosheet clusters make them promising for remediation of Cr(VI) contaminated environments.

Summary: Recent studies have found that the combination of zero-valent iron (ZVI) and pyrite (FeS2) can effectively remove Cr(VI) from water. This study discovered that dissolved oxygen (DO) plays a crucial role in enhancing the removal efficiency. The presence of DO led to the oxidation of pyrite, producing protons that promote ZVI corrosion and creating dissolved sulfide, which improves the removal of Cr(VI) by forming ferrous sulfide precipitates on the ZVI surface.

Summary: To improve the removal efficiency of Cr (VI) by chitosan, this study successfully synthesized a Zr4+ and glutaraldehyde crosslinked polyethyleneimine functionalized chitosan (CGPZ) composite. The adsorption process of Cr (VI) by CGPZ was found to be a spontaneous endothermic process controlled by entropy. The adsorbent showed good acid-base resistance and regeneration performance. CGPZ can synergistically adsorb Cr (VI) through electrostatic interaction and ion exchange, and then reduce Cr (VI) to Cr (III) and chelate Cr (III) through specific functional groups.

Summary: Chitosan/bentonite composites (CSBT) were synthesized and used for the immobilization of chromium in the soil. CSBT could reduce the content of exchangeable and oxidizable forms of chromium, while increasing the content of residual form. The addition of 0.2 g.kg(-1) CSBT had the best effect, with the concentration of exchangeable, reducible and oxidizable forms decreased by 46.74%, 8.15%, and 14.46%, respectively. The amino, carboxyl, and hydroxyl groups of CSBT promoted the conversion of available chromium to residual state in soil, and reduced the bioavailability of chromium in soil.

Summary: Microplastics (MPs) are found to mediate the transformation of chromium (Cr) species under sunlight irradiation, reducing Cr(VI) to Cr(III). The reduction process is affected by various factors including the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS), properties of the MPs, and environmental factors. The reduction of Cr(VI) induced by MPs can occur in reservoir water and has a faster rate compared to purified water.

Summary: This study revealed the mechanism behind the poor removal capacity of commercial activated carbon for toxic heavy metal Cr(VI) under neutral pH conditions. Unlike the common belief that electrostatic repulsion is the main factor, our research suggested that the higher amount of Cr2O3 precipitate on the activated carbon surface at higher pH levels led to the reduced Cr(VI) sequestration capability.

Summary: The effect and mechanism of manganese ions and visible light on chalcopyrite bioleaching mediated by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans were explored in this study. The presence of Mn2+ and visible light was found to improve the leaching rate of chalcopyrite and promote the growth of A. ferrooxidans. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometer analysis revealed that Mn2+ promoted the formation of extracellular polymeric substance on the surface of chalcopyrite, changing the morphology of A. ferrooxidans and enhancing bacterial adsorption. UV-vis absorbance spectra indicated that Mn2+ promoted the response of chalcopyrite to visible light and enhanced its catalytic effect on bioleaching. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed that Mn2+ and visible light reduced the formation of a passivation layer on chalcopyrite, further promoting bioleaching. Electrochemical results suggested that Mn2+ and visible light improved the electrochemical activity of chalcopyrite, thereby increasing its bioleaching rate.

Summary: A novel method of using hematite to inhibit chalcopyrite biodissolution was proposed and verified in this study. The results showed that hematite significantly inhibited chalcopyrite biodissolution, resulting in the decrease of acid mine drainage (AMD) formation. It was found that hematite promoted the formation and accumulation of passivation substances on chalcopyrite surface, thus effectively suppressing chalcopyrite biodissolution and limiting the formation of AMD.

Summary: Humic acid is a widely available and environmentally friendly substance that can be a good choice for inhibiting chalcopyrite biooxidation and alleviating copper pollution. This study proposed and validated a novel method for inhibiting chalcopyrite biooxidation using humic acid. The results showed that humic acid effectively inhibited chalcopyrite biooxidation and reduced the release of copper ions. Moreover, humic acid inhibited bacterial growth, promoted the formation of mineral phases, and intensified the passivation of chalcopyrite, effectively hindering the biooxidation of chalcopyrite.

Summary: The use of machine learning to predict the performance of specific adsorbents in phosphate adsorption shows great promise in saving time and revealing underlying mechanisms. However, the small size of the dataset and insufficient detailed information limits the model training process and the accuracy of results. To address this, the study employs a fuzzing strategy that replaces detailed numeric information with descriptive text messages on the physiochemical properties of adsorbents. This strategy allows the recovery of discarded samples with limited information, leading to accurate prediction of adsorption amount, capacity, and kinetics. The study also finds that phosphate uptake by adsorbents is generally through physisorption, with some involvement of chemisorption. The framework established in this study provides a practical approach for quickly predicting phosphate adsorption performance in urgent scenarios, using easily accessible information.
