Iron is one of the most abundant elements on Earth, widely present in the Earth’s crust, water bodies, and living organisms. The redox reactions of iron in natural cycles, especially in water bodies, play a crucial role in nutrient cycling and pollutant degradation in ecosystems. However, the mechanisms of iron cycling and its interaction with micr...

Selenium (Selenium) is an essential trace element widely found in nature and involved in various biological metabolic processes. However, when selenium concentrations are too high, they can cause severe toxic effects on humans, animals, and the environment. Industrial activities, especially coal combustion in coal-fired power plants, are one of the...

Microbial Reduction of Fe(III)-Bearing Solids Recovered from Hydraulic Fracturing Flowback Water: Implications for Wastewater Treatment

Hydraulic fracturing is a technique used to extract natural gas from unconventional reservoirs, but it generates large volumes of flowback and produced water. These waters contain complex mixtures of organic and inorganic constituents, particularly the solids associated with these fluids, which are often rich in iron (Fe), toxic organics, heavy met...

Bacterial Toxicity of Sulfidated Nanoscale Zerovalent Iron in Aerobic and Anaerobic Systems: Implications for Chlorinated Solvent Clean-Up Strategies
