Abstract
Estimating the availability of phosphorus in soils and sediments is complicated by the diverse mineralogical properties of iron (hydr)oxides that control the environmental fate of phosphorus. Despite various surface complexation models have been developed, lack of generic phosphate affinity constants (logKPO4s) for iron (hydr)oxides hinders the prediction of phosphate adsorption to iron (hydr)oxides in nature. The aim of this work is to derive generic logKPO4s for the Charge Distribution-Multisite Complexation extended-Stern-Gouy-Chapman (CD-MUSIC-eSGC) model using a large phosphate adsorption database and previously derived generic protonation parameters. The optimized logKPO4s of goethite, hematite and ferrihydrite are located in a much narrower range than those in the RES3T database. Specifically, the logKPO4 ranges of FeOPO3, FeOPO2OH, FeOPO(OH)2, (FeO)2PO2, and (FeO)2POOH complexes were 17.40-18.00, 24.20-27.40, 27.90-29.80, 26.50-29.60, and 30.70-33.40, respectively. A simplified CD-MUSIC-eSGC model with species FeOPO2OH and (FeO)2PO2 and generic logKPO4 values 26.0 ± 0.9 and 27.9 ± 0.8, respectively, provides an accurate prediction of phosphate adsorption and dominant speciation to the iron (hydr)oxides at environmental pH and phosphate levels. For ferrihydrite at low pH and high phosphate levels the species FeOPO(OH)2 and (FeO)2POOH cannot be neglected. The simplified model expands the application boundaries of CD-MUSIC-eSGC model in predicting the phosphate adsorption on natural iron (hydr)oxides without laborious characterization.

Abstract
The Fe3O4/TBADT composite catalyst (M-DT) can efficiently oxidize aromatic amine compounds selectively into nitroso compounds in the presence of H2O2. The high efficiency is due to the strong interaction between Fe3O4 and TBADT.

Abstract
As an emerging contaminant, tungsten's distribution and speciation in soils are far from understood. In this study, two soil profiles near a typical abandoned tungsten smelter in Hunan Province, China were collected and investigated, to ascertain the binding and association of tungsten with different soil components and subsequently to understand its mobility. The data showed that past tungsten smelting activities resulted in elevated concentrations of both tungsten and arsenic in the soil profiles, both of which ranged from dozens of to a few hundred mg/kg. Nano-scale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) was employed to quantify the distribution and association of tungsten with various other elements. Combined with sequential extraction and mineralogical analysis, the data from NanoSIMS showed that aluminosilicates including kaolinite and illite were the most important mineral hosts for tungsten, whereas arsenic was predominantly bound to iron (oxyhydr)oxides. Additional data from 13C nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed that soil organic matter retained tungsten in deep soils (>70 cm) by binding tungsten through carboxyls on aromatic rings. Compared to arsenic, tungsten migrated deeper in the soil profiles, suggesting its higher mobility and potential risk to groundwater quality.

Abstract
Tungsten (W) is a contaminant with health implications whose environmental behaviors are not understood well. Sorption to mineral surfaces is one of the primary processes controlling the mobility and fate of W in soils, sediments, and aquifers. However, few papers published hitherto have not yet figured out the influences of dissolved organic matter (DOM) on this process. Here, we examine W(VI) adsorption behaviors onto Al (hydr)oxide (AAH) in the presence or absence of DOM derived from plant rhizosphere, using batch experiments coupled with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphology and functional group analyses results show that DOM can facilitate the aggregation of AAH and block surface Al-OH groups. Coexisting DOM inhibits W(VI) adsorption onto AAH at acidic to neutral pH (4-7), and the presence of either Na + or PO43- can exert a completely different impact on W(VI) adsorption. XPS and FTIR characterizations further demonstrate surface W complexes with the Al-OH groups of AAH and carboxyl groups of DOM. There is no reduction of W(VI) during the adsorption processes, and poly-tungstate species are formed on the surface of both AAH and AAH-DOM coprecipitates. This study provides the first evidence of the roles of natural DOM on W sequestration at the mineral-water surface, which has an important implication for the prediction of the migration and bioavailability of W in natural environments.

Antimony (V) Adsorption at the Hematite–Water Interface: A Macroscopic and In Situ ATR-FTIR Study. SOIL SYSTEMS 2021.

Abstract
The environmental mobility of antimony (Sb) is largely unexplored in geochemical environments. Iron oxide minerals are considered major sinks for Sb. Among the different oxidation states of Sb, (+) V is found more commonly in a wide redox range. Despite many adsorption studies of Sb (V) with various iron oxide minerals, detailed research on the adsorption mechanism of Sb (V) on hematite using macroscopic, spectroscopic, and surface complexation modeling is rare. Thus, the main objective of our study is to evaluate the surface complexation mechanism of Sb (V) on hematite under a range of solution properties using macroscopic, in situ attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopic, and surface complexation modeling. The results indicate that the Sb (V) adsorption on hematite was highest at pH 4–6. After pH 6, the adsorption decreased sharply and became negligible above pH 9. The effect of ionic strength was negligible from pH 4 to 6. The spectroscopic results confirmed the presence of inner- and outer-sphere surface complexes at lower pH values, and only outer-sphere-type surface complex at pH 8. Surface complexation models successfully predicted the Sb (V) adsorption envelope. Our research will improve the understanding of Sb (V) mobility in iron-oxide-rich environments.

THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2020; 731:139224.

Abstract
A thorough understanding of the geochemical behavior of W in soils is crucial for environmental risk assessment. Soil pH is known as master variable of element solubility and bioavailability in soils. Here we report on effects of soil pH (modified by liming and acid - base additions) and soil aging on the environmental availability of W in soil using W solubility and chemical fractionation as indicators. Experimental soils included two naturally acidic soils with contrasting soil texture (SAND, CLAY), at native pH or limed with 2.5% CaCO3, and spiked with increasing concentration of W. Our results showed that W was significantly more labile in alkaline compared to acidic soils, confirming the validity of results of pure-mineral studies for more heterogeneously composed soils. While labile W was generally greater in the SAND compared to the CLAY soil, the reverse trend was observed in the limed soils at the highest W addition (5000 mg kg-1). Combining our results with previous mechanistic reports suggests that clay edge sorption sites significantly contributed to W retention in treatments with low to medium W additions, resulting in lower environmental availability for W in the CLAY soil. At high W concentrations and high pH, the stronger W retention in the SAND was attributed to continuous formation of W surface polymers on the more abundant metal (oxyhydr)oxides, a process that has been previously reported to occur even under alkaline conditions. A first comparison of various soil chemical methods (Bray & AB-DTPA extractions, soil solution centrifugation CL, diffusion-based DGT) to predict W phytoavailability in soil also revealed a strong pH dependency challenging the identification of a suitable method. This study is one of the first demonstrating the pH dependence of W in natural soils and delivers evidence for increased risk of W mobilization in W polluted, alkaline soil environments.

Abstract
Tylosin (Tyl) is a veterinary antibiotic commonly used in swine and poultry production. Due to metabolic inefficiencies, it enters the environment through manure applications. Ion exchange is an important retention mechanism for Tyl, particularly for smectite clay. The objectives of this study are to characterize the exchange interactions of Tyl with common soil cations in subsoil horizons that contain smectite and to investigate the interactions using in situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Adsorbed Tyl in pH neutral, smectitic subsoil horizons is divided into exchangeable and nonexchangeable forms. The percentage of adsorbed Tyl that is exchangeable varies from 36% to 43% when Na+ is the competing cation, and from 57% to 66% when Ca2+ competes. In NaX-TylX binary exchange systems, neither Na+ nor Tyl+ is preferred by the clay exchange phase, and the Vanselow selectivity coefficients (KV) for the NaX→TylX exchange reaction range between 0.79 and 1.41. In the CaX2-TylX systems, Tyl+ is preferred by the clay exchange phase when the equivalent fraction of TylX (ETylX) is less than 0.4. The KV values for the CaX2→TylX exchange reaction are at a maximum at the lowest ETylX values, with 17.6 <KV < 58.1, then decrease with increasing ETylX to 1.34 <KV < 6.28. Adsorbed Tyl masks the CEC of the soil clays; the effect is greatest in systems that are initially Tyl-saturated, and is attributed to the steric effects of the large Tyl molecule. In situ FTIR indicates that Tyl interacts with soil iron oxides through the dimethylamine moiety.
