Summary: To differentiate the causes of aged organic carbon (OC) in sediments, we propose a mathematical index, b(AgedOC), and apply it to terrestrial OC transport and dispersal pathways and other continental margin settings. This method helps us understand the contribution of lateral transport to the aging of OC in marine sediments.

Summary: The study introduces "transfer efficiencies" as a new framework for quantifying the sedimentary portion of the marine organic carbon cycle. The commonly-used burial efficiency metric is loosely defined and inconsistent, while transfer efficiencies provide a more accurate and precise measurement with an emphasis on the ongoing degradation of organic carbon.

Summary: This study analyzed the abundance of microplastic particles in bottom sediments of the Baltic Sea. The content of microplastics varied with water depth, with fibers being the most common type. The distributions of fibers, fragments, and films differed significantly from different types of bottom sediments. An erosion/transition/accumulation pattern for fibers in the Baltic Sea was outlined. The distribution principles of other microplastics remain uncertain.

Summary: The formation pathways of ·OH during the redox transformation of humic acids (HAs) and its contribution to the transformation of microplastics (MPs) were investigated for the first time in this study. It was found that ·OH could be continuously produced through two pathways during the redox cycles and lead to oxidative degradation of MPs. Furthermore, the electrocatalytic activity of HAs was closely related to ·OH generation.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the organic matter properties of Fluvisols (arable soil and grassland) and nearby riverbank sediments, and found that the properties of organic matter in Fluvisols are influenced by the quantity and quality of organic matter transported in suspended matter during flood events in flood valleys. The current land-use type significantly impacted the properties of organic matter in Fluvisols.

Summary: About 15 Tg of plastic enter the ocean each year, with the majority accumulating in marine sediments rather than floating on the surface. From 1950 to 2010, an estimated 170 Tg (25-900 Tg) of nonfibrous plastic has accumulated in marine sediments globally, confirming their role as a major sink for plastic.

Summary: The Cananeia-Iguape estuarine-lagoon complex in Sao Paulo state, Brazil, serves as a natural laboratory to study metal binding by humic substances in subtropical settings. The sources of humic substances were found to be a mix of marine and terrestrial origins, with copper and chromium being the most abundant trace metals bound to these substances in the system. Marine Free Humic Acids exhibited the highest binding capacity for trace metals, while terrestrial Fulvic Acids derived from mangrove organic matter decay showed the lowest binding capacity.

Summary: The study found that multiple low-abundance archaeal groups are actually catabolic protein degraders, while the functional role of widespread extracellular peptidases is not an optimal tool to identify protein catabolism. In addition, the catabolic degradation of sedimentary protein is not a common feature of the abundant archaeal community in temperate and permanently cold marine sediments.

Summary: The study investigates the isotopic stability of lipid biomarker compositions in two sediment cores from the brine-filled Shaban Deep in the northern Red Sea. It shows that the stable carbon isotope compositions of long-chain n-alkanes and alkenones remain stable under different sedimentary conditions, while the stable hydrogen isotope composition of long-chain n-alkanes and bulk organic matter increases consistently during degradation. The findings suggest that source-specific refractory molecules show minor variations under strong degradation, while compounds with multiple sources can exhibit strong variability, potentially hindering their use as paleoenvironmental proxies.

Summary: This study comprehensively investigates the geochemical and environmental roles of humic acids in sediments from urbanized lakes in the Arctic region. The findings reveal specific features of humic acids in these aquatic ecosystems, including slowed humification due to cold climatic conditions and water pollution. The immature and high-oxygen molecules of humic acids actively leach toxic metals from sediments, while stable organometallic compounds form due to the high percentage of dispersed organic matter and structural flexibility of the acids. The geochemical composition and enrichment of sediments by trace elements and hydrocarbons significantly influence the interaction between metals and humic acids.

Summary: This study explores the use of Cu2+ ions and CuO as co-catalysts to enhance the efficiency of WO3 in the visible light-driven photocatalytic oxidation of arsenite. The addition of Cu2+ was found to effectively suppress the dissolution of WO3, while the efficiency of CuO was slightly lower. The results show that significant improvement in the efficiency of photocatalytic oxidation of As(III) with WO3 can be achieved by adding Cu2+ ions and CuO.

Summary: The Ag/Ag2O-modified ZnO photocatalyst prepared by a simple method showed excellent performance in degrading the organic pollutant DBP, being four times more efficient than zinc oxide alone. The addition of Ag and Ag2O increased the total pore volume of the photocatalyst, leading to an increase in active sites. The efficient electron transfer of Ag/Ag2O/ZnO was found to be responsible for the enhanced activity.

Summary: The ZnO/g-C3N4 composite was successfully synthesized and characterized. The composite showed 8 times higher degradation rate of BPE compared to pure g-C3N4. The excellent photocatalytic activity was attributed to the synergistic effect between g-C3N4 and ZnO, which improved charge separation, reduced recombination, and increased visible light absorption.

Summary: Novel tungsten-modified mixed-valence tin oxides (Sn3O4) were successfully prepared by the solvothermal method using tin (II) chloride dihydrate and sodium tungstate (IV) dihydrate as precursors, with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as the assistant. The presence of tungsten and the optimized amount of CTAB in the preparation method enhanced the photocatalytic dye degradation reaction, achieving almost complete decolorization of methyl orange within 40 minutes. The improved photocatalytic activity of the W-Sn3O4 catalyst was attributed to increased reduction power, enhanced separation of electron-hole pairs, extended visible light absorption range, and optimized band structure by CTAB additive.

Summary: Biodiesel, as a sustainable energy alternative, can be produced by synthesizing glycerol, which is a byproduct of biodiesel synthesis. In this study, the photocatalytic biohydrogen generation using ZnO with the aid of simultaneous deposition of copper from an aqueous biomass-derivative glycerol solution was investigated. The concentration of glycerol solution, Cu ion concentration, and reaction temperature were found to affect the biohydrogen production rate. Furthermore, the photocatalytic H2 production efficiency with ZnO could be improved by simultaneous Cu deposition.

Summary: The goal of this study was to determine the accumulation of heavy metals in the tissues and bones of Red Hybrid Tilapia and Mackerel from two sites in Terengganu, Malaysia. Zinc, copper, nickel, and lead were examined. The highest levels of zinc, nickel, and lead were found in the fish bone, while copper was higher in the tissues. Lead values in the tissues exceeded acceptable levels, while copper and zinc were within range. Soil samples also showed different patterns, with higher concentrations of zinc, followed by lead, copper, and nickel in Paka River compared to Kijal. More research is needed to determine the source of contamination.

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.
