Abstract
The control of multiple heavy metals (HMs) pollution in solid wastes, especially the co-contamination of As and other heavy metal cations, is of great importance to ecological and environmental health. To address this problem, the preparation and application of multifunctional materials have attracted wide attention. In this work, a novel Ca-Fe-Si-S composite (CFSS) was applied to stabilize As, Zn, Cu, and Cd in acid arsenic slag (ASS). The CFSS exhibited synchronous stabilization ability for As, Zn, Cu, Cd and owned strong acid neutralization capacity. Under simulated field conditions, the acid rain extracted HMs in ASS successfully decreased below the emission standard (GB 3838-2002-IV category in China) after incubated by 5% CFSS for 90 days. Meanwhile, the application of CFSS promoted the transformation of leachable HMs into less accessible forms, which was conductive to the long-term stabilization for HMs. There was competitive relation among the three heavy metal cations, following the stabilization sequence of Cu > Zn > Cd during incubation. And the stabilization mechanisms of HMs by CFSS were proposed as chemical precipitation, surface complexation, and ion/anion exchange. The research will be greatly conducive to the remediation and governance of field multiple HMs contaminated sites.

Abstract
Coprecipitation of radionuclides with barite has been studied to remove radionuclides from radioactive liquid waste because of its excellent removal efficiency; however, little information exists concerning the stability of the ions coprecipitated with barite. This study systematically investigated the stability of iodate, selenite, and selenate coprecipitated with barite via leaching tests. These oxyanions were gradually leached from the oxyanion-bearing barite into ultrapure water over time. Leaching of the oxyanions significantly increased in leaching solutions containing NaCl (pH 5.3), NaNO3 (pH 5.9), and Na2SO4 (pH 5.7). Conversely, leaching of the oxyanions was suppressed in KH2PO4 solution (pH 8.5), indicating that phosphate stabilized the oxyanion-bearing barite. The effect of phosphate treatment on oxyanion-bearing barite was further investigated. The results showed that the barite surface was modified with phosphate, and a thin surface layer of a barium phosphate-like structure was formed. The amount of oxyanions leached from the phosphate-treated samples into leaching solutions containing NaCl or NaNO3 was much lower than the amounts leached from the untreated barite samples into ultrapure water. The barite coprecipitation combined with subsequent phosphate treatment may be a promising method to efficiently remove iodate, selenite, and selenate from wastewater and stabilize them as barite coprecipitates.

Abstract
Stabilizing the hazardous calcium arsenic residues (CAR) and monitoring the subsequent fate of arsenic (As) are critical to reduce its risk to the environment. In this work, a novel in situ method has been proposed to stabilize CAR by adding FeIII solution and subsequent formation of the secondary mineral (yukonite). The experiments were conducted at pH 6-9 with different Fe/As molar ratios (0.28-0.66) and the solid phases were characterized by using X-ray diffraction and scanning/transmission electron microscopy. Results showed that the stability of the CAR was significantly increased after the addition of FeIII solution, indicating good fixation effectiveness. The dissolved As concentration in the treated CAR samples continuously decreased to <5 mg/L after 490 days of treatment at Fe/As molar ratio ≥ 0.54 and pH ≥ 8, with the leached As concentration lower than 5 mg/L (US EPA standard) for most of the treated CAR in the TCLP and HVM tests. The formation of yukonite under different experimental conditions is closely related to the enhanced stability of the treated CAR. This work provides a novel in situ method to treat CAR which might have potential for future industrial applications.

Abstract
High-level arsenic-containing wastewater (HAW) causes serious environmental pollution. Chemical precipitation is the most widely used technology for treating HAW. However, chemical precipitation generates huge amounts of hazardous solid wastes, which leads to secondary pollution. In this work, an efficient method, producing no secondary pollution was developed for one-step complete removal of As(V) from HAW using a hazardous solid waste namely arsenic-bearing gypsum (ABG). After the treatment, ABG was transformed into highly stable and environment-friendly mineral Johnbaumite. Meanwhile, the arsenic concentration in the wastewater decreased from 10,000 mg L-1 to 0.22 mg L-1 under optimized hydrothermal conditions (ABG dosage of 50 g L-1, solution pH of 13.5, temperature of 150 °C for 12 h). The mechanism mainly included the following processes: (i) The phase transformation of ABG resulted in the release of calcium and hydrogen arsenate ions in ABG, (ii) Hydrogen arsenate ions transformed into arsenate ions in alkaline environment, and (iii) Under alkaline conditions, calcium ions combined with arsenate ions to form Johnbaumite, whereas the hydrothermal conditions accelerated the crystal growth of Johnbaumite. This study provides a new idea for the synchronous treatment of toxic heavy metal-containing wastewaters and hazardous solid wastes.

Abstract
Soils at primary explosives sites have been contaminated by high concentrations of antimony (Sb) and co-occurring heavy metals (Cu and Zn), and are largely overlooked and neglected. In this study, we investigated Sb concentrations and species and studied the effect of combined Fe- and Fe-Al-based sorbent application on the mobility of Sb and co-occurring metals. The content of Sb in soil samples varied from 26.7 to 4255.0 mg/kg. In batch experiments, FeSO4 showed ideal Sb sorption (up to 97% sorption with 10% FeSO4·7H2O), whereas the sorptions of 10% Fe0 and 10% goethite were 72% and 41%, respectively. However, Fe-based sorbents enhanced the mobility of co-occurring Cu and Zn to varying levels, especially FeSO4·7H2O. Al(OH)3 was required to prevent Cu and Zn mobilization. In this study, 5% FeSO4·7H2O and 4% Al(OH)3 mixed with soil was the optimal combination to solve this problem, with Sb, Zn, and Cu stabilizations of 94.6%, 74.2%, and 82.2%, respectively. Column tests spiked with 5% FeSO4·7H2O, and 4% Al(OH)3 showed significant Sb (85.85%), Zn (83.9%), and Cu (94.8%) retention. The pH-regulated results indicated that acid conditioning improved Sb retention under alkaline conditions. However, no significant difference was found between the acidification sets and those without pH regulation. The experimental results showed that 5% FeSO4·7H2O + 4% Al(OH)3 without pH regulation was effective for the stabilization of Sb and co-occurring metals in primary explosive soils.

Abstract
The strong ability of ferrihydrite and its aged minerals for fixing arsenate is a key factor in remediating arsenate-polluted environments. It is therefore crucial to clarify the stability of Fe-As complexes and the release conditions for As(V). The As(V) release amount was evaluated and compared in the presence of six representative anions, namely, phosphate, silicate, sulfate, inositol hexaphosphate, citrate, and oxalate. It was found that the As(V) release amount changed with the aging time of ferrihydrite and that this tendency generally followed two rules. These are, longer aging time leads to lower As(V) release (Rule 1), and longer aging time leads to higher As(V) release (Rule 2). Whether Rule 1 or Rule 2 dominated As release depended on the number of surface groups, size of competing anions, and contribution of As(V) re-adsorption. Characterization results using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) provided evidence for the predicted mechanisms of As(V) release under various circumstances. In this work, it was demonstrated that when inorganic anions such as sulfate and silicate are present, ferrihydrite with longer aging time led to decreased As(V) release. When organic anions are present, ferrihydrite with less aging time results in reduced As(V) leaching. For anions such as phosphate, the As(V) release amount in relation to the ferrihydrite aging time depends on the concentration of phosphate ions. Nevertheless, the ligand concentration and As(V) loading rate on ferrihydrite should be simultaneously considered for the rule governing As(V) releasing.

Abstract
Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) are promising soil contamination amendment agents for its efficient absorbing abilities. However, the application of LDHs in remediation of heavy metal contaminated soil are to be developed. In this study, we synthesized MgAlFe-LDHs by introducing Fe3+ into interlayer of the MgAl-LDHs using co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were employed to characterized the micro structure of MgAlFe-LDHs. And then pot incubation and pilot experiments were conducted to investigate the heavy metal removal efficiencies of MgAlFe-LDHs and its potential being applicated in As contaminated soil amendment from a deserted arsenic plant site. Incubation experiments showed that the MgAlFe-LDHs had a higher removal efficiency on arsenic contaminated soil compared to other agents. And the results of pilot experiments indicated that the MgAlFe-LDHs can immobilize up to 90% of the As in soil with 5% (w/w) addition. Based on the results above, MgAlFe-LDHs are promising materials amending the heavy metal contaminated soil with practical application value.

Abstract
Due to the neutral charge of As(III) oxy-ions that make approaching the traditional adsorbent very improbable compared to the As(V) case, making it harder to be separated. To enhance the adsorption of As(Ш), the FeOOH coated cellulose acetate (CA) membrane doped with MnO2 nanoparticles (FeOOH@MnO2@CAM) was fabricated and then to removes As(Ш) in water through the synergistic effect of oxidation and adsorption, and the maximum adsorption capacity can reach 50.34 mg/g. FeOOH@MnO2@CAM was fabricated with CA as a substrate by dipping-precipitation phase inversion and hydrothermal method. Langmuir and pseudo-second-order model showed that As(Ш) was adsorbed by chemical interactions through the monolayer and thermodynamic showed that As(Ш) adsorption was an exothermic and spontaneous process. The results of the pH study showed that as the pH increases from 3 to 11, the adsorption capacity of As(Ш) decreases from 50.34 to 14.32 mg/g, which was attributed to the acidic environment promoting the protonation of the surface of FeOOH@MnO2@CAM, which increases the electrostatic attraction, and the alkaline environment increases electrostatic repulsion due to deprotonation. The competitive ions exhibited the PO43- significantly reduce the adsorption capacity of As(Ш),and as the PO43- content increases, the adsorption capacity of As(Ш) decreases from 29.76 to 18.57 mg/g, which was attributed to the similar chemical properties of PO43- and arsenate. Importantly, FeOOH@MnO2@CAM still maintains an adsorption capacity of 20.19 mg/g after seven cycles, demonstrating that it is a kind of environmentally friendly material to remove As(Ш) in the water environment.

Stabilization and transformation of selenium during the Fe(II)-induced transformation of Se(IV)-adsorbed ferrihydrite under anaerobic conditions. JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2020; 384:121365.

Abstract
Selenium (Se) is an essential nutrient for human beings at trace concentrations, but also a hazardous contaminant at high concentrations. As an important geological adsorbent, the transformation of 2-line ferrihydrite (Fh) strongly influences the geochemical behavior of selenium. However, little is known about the effect of the recrystallization of Fh on the fate of adsorbed Se(IV) in the reducing environments. We investigated the redistribution and transformation of Se(IV) during the recrystallization of Se(IV)-adsorbed Fh accelerated by Fe(II) under anaerobic conditions. Synchrotron based X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy was utilized to characterize oxidation state of Se. Results revealed that the adsorbed Se(IV) inhibited the Fe(II)-catalyzed recrystallization of ferrihydrite to goethite. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that pH and the presence of Se(IV) had significant impacts on the morphology of the produced goethite. Approximately 30-75% adsorbed Se(IV) transformed to phosphate-unextractable form, indicating that the adsorbed Se transformed to more stable phase during the recrystallization of Fh. The XANES results indicated that a small fraction of Se(IV) was reduced to elemental Se. Our study demonstrated that the stability of adsorbed Se(IV) on ferrihydrite could be enhanced during Fe(II)-catalytic transformation of Fh under anoxic environments.
