Book ChapterDOI
Chapter One – Mineral–Organic Associations: Formation, Properties, and Relevance in Soil Environments
Markus Kleber,Karin Eusterhues,Marco Keiluweit,Christian Mikutta,Robert Mikutta,Peter S. Nico +5 more
TL;DR: An overview of the current knowledge on mineral-organic associations can be found in this article, where the authors identify key questions and future research needs, as well as a survey of the existing research work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodegradation of forest floor organic matter bound to minerals via different binding mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the biodegradation of OM bound to goethite (α-FeOOH), pyrophyllite, and vermiculite via specific mechanisms as estimated from OC uptake in different background electrolytes and operationally defined as 'ligand exchange', 'Ca2+ bridging', and 'van der Waals forces'.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectroscopic evidence for ternary complex formation between arsenate and ferric iron complexes of humic substances.
TL;DR: This study provides the first spectroscopic evidence for ternary complex formation between As (V) and Fe(III)-HS complexes, suggesting that this binding mechanism is of fundamental importance for the cycling of oxyanions such as As(V) in organic-rich, oxic soils and sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arsenic sequestration by organic sulphur in peat
TL;DR: In this article, natural organic matter plays an active role in the immobilization of arsenic in anoxic wetlands, which represents an important arsenic sink in the global ice-free land area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic Coprecipitates of Exopolysaccharides and Ferrihydrite. Part I: Characterization
Christian Mikutta,Robert Mikutta,Steeve Bonneville,Friedrich E. Wagner,Andreas Voegelin,Iso Christl,Ruben Kretzschmar +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors synthesized ferrihydrite (Fh) in solutions containing acid polysaccharides [polygalacturonic acid (PGA), alginate, xanthan] and compared its properties with that of an abiotic reference by means of X-ray diffraction.
