TL;DR: Synergistic effects between alkali-free hydrotalcites and gold nanoparticles afford efficient heterogeneous catalysts for the cascade oxidation of 5-HMF to 2,5-FDCA.

TL;DR: Crystal structures of lanthanide(III) complexes with N-donor extractants showed that generally the lighter lanthanides had their coordination spheres completed by a bidentate nitrate ion, giving a 2+ charged complex cation, whereas the structures of the heavier Lanthanides displayed tricationic complex species with a single water molecule completing their coordination environments.

TL;DR: Remediation of high pH Cr(VI) contamination related to COPR and its groundwater by biogenic nano-magnetite and nano-zero valent iron and stabilization of the COPR Cr( VI) source by addition of nanoparticles.

TL;DR: Immobilization of Tc(VII) by reduction and incorporation into magnetite at high pH and with significant stability upon reoxidation has clear and important implications for limiting technetium migration under conditions where magnetite is formed including in geological disposal of radioactive wastes.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used X-ray absorption fine structure analysis to determine the coordination environment and therefore uptake mechanism towards the uranyl cation for a selection of commercially available ion exchange resins in non-saline and saline conditions.
