Article Abstract

3H and 99Tc are important nuclides in low and intermediate level radioactive wastes, and in safety assessment of near surface repository their migration characteristic usually determines the computing result. The medium of loess appears to possess the characteristic of weak adsorption ability to 3H and 99Tc when they are migrating in it, so the adsorption ability are often neglected, and 3H are used to identify groundwater velocity. But in the field test it was showed that in the aerated zone loess possesses stronger adsorption ability to 99Tc than to 3H, and in the aquifer the stronger adsorption ability to 3H than to 99Tc. In this paper the migration tests of 3H and 99Tc were simulated by NESOR program of non-equilibrium adsorption model. The results show: 99Tc distribution coefficient ranges 0.05-0.055 mL/g in the aerated zone, 3H distribution coefficient is 0.116 mL/g in the aquifer, and the parameter reflects integrated impact of loess on 3H and 99Tc, and the mechanism of them being retarded still need proving.

Cesium ions (Cs) are notable radioactive contaminants hazardous to humans and the environment. Among various remediation methods, adsorption is a practical way to remove Cs from water, and Prussian blue (PB) is well-known as an efficient Cs adsorbent. Although various PB derivatives have been proposed to treat Cs-contaminated water, soil remediation is still challenging due to the limited mobility of pollutants in soil.

Introduction: Manganese-oxidizing bacteria (MOB) play a critical role in converting soluble Mn(II) to insoluble Mn(III/IV) oxides, which have been widely applied for environmental remediation, particularly in heavy metal pollution control. Therefore, the discovery of novel MOB strains is of great significance for advancing pollution mitigation and ecosystem restoration.

Methods: In this study, a manganese-oxidizing bacterial strain was isolated from Mn-contaminated soil near an electroplating factory using selective LB medium supplemented with 10 mmol/L manganese chloride (MnCl), and the Leucoberbelin Blue (LBB) assay was employed to screen and identify strains with strong Mn(II)-oxidation ability.

Antiferroelectric SnO Network with Amorphous Surface for Electrochemical N Fixation.

Electrochemical nitrogen fixation-a sustainable pathway for converting abundant N into NH using renewable energy-holds transformative potential for revolutionizing artificial nitrogen cycles. Nevertheless, even the state-of-the-art catalytic systems also suffer from inadequate N adsorption capacity, which critically limits ammonia production rates and Faradaic efficiency (FE). To overcome this bottleneck, we strategically leveraged the antiferroelectric properties of SnO to establish dipole-dipole interactions with N molecules, synergistically enhancing both N adsorption and activation kinetics.
