Adsorption of molybdate and tetrathiomolybdate onto pyrite and goethite: effect of pH and competitive anions.

TL;DR: The preferred adsorption by iron mineral of MoS4(2-), as well as its behavior in the presence of competitive anions suggests that tetrathiomolybdate species may be an ultimate reservoir and may control Mo enrichment in the sediments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Magnetic nickel ferrite as a heterogeneous photo-Fenton catalyst for the degradation of rhodamine B in the presence of oxalic acid

TL;DR: In this article, a magnetic species was synthesized in a 100mL Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave at 180°C for 10h and the results showed that the synthesized species was nickel ferrite nanoparticles with diameters of approximately 10nm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Graphene oxide enhances the Fenton-like photocatalytic activity of nickel ferrite for degradation of dyes under visible light irradiation

TL;DR: Graphene oxide was added to nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) to yield GO-doped NiFe 2O4 (GO-NiFe 2 O4) as mentioned in this paper, which was used as a photo-Fenton catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling the competitive effect of phosphate, sulfate, silicate, and tungstate anions on the adsorption of molybdate onto goethite.

TL;DR: The model suggests that Mo and W are retained mainly by the formation of monodentate complexes on the goethite surface, which indicates that surface complexation modeling may have applications in predicting competitive adsorption in more complex systems containing multiple competing ions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contrasting effects of biochar nanoparticles on the retention and transport of phosphorus in acidic and alkaline soils.

TL;DR: Investigation of the retention and transport of phosphorus in two acidic and two alkaline soils as affected by wood chip-derived biochar nanoparticles indicates that biochar NPs have contrasting effects on the retention of P in acidic and alkali soils, implying the cautious land applications of biochar for nutrients retention in soils with different acidities.
