Soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a pivotal role in governing the environmental behavior and fate of metal ions. The inherent heterogeneity of DOM, however, leads to complex and poorly understood interactions with heavy metals. In this study, soil DOM was fractionated into four pH-dependent fractions via PPL solid-phase extraction combined with sequential acid elution. The binding interactions of these fractions with Cu(II) were systematically investigated through and, coupled with two-dimensional correlation (2D-COS) analysis. The results indicated that low-pH fractions exhibited enhanced aromaticity and more pronounced spectral responses. Regardless of the DOM fraction, 2D-COS analysis revealed that short-wavelength chromophores (< 230 nm) preferentially coordinated with Cu(II), and the binding sequence of fluorescent components followed protein-like > fulvic-like > humic-like components. Moreover, functional group analysis showed that carboxyl C = O groups dominated the binding response, followed by aliphatic C-OH or phenolic O-H, while pH-based fractionation of DOM primarily influenced binding accessibility rather than binding mechanism. Meanwhile, the parallel factor analysis (PARAFAC) results revealed that protein-like substances exhibited higher conditional stability constants, whereas humic-like fractions provided more accessible binding sites among the pH-dependent DOM fractions. Collectively, these findings illuminated that the heterogeneous complexation mechanisms between DOM fractions and Cu(II), and provide a basis for assessing environmental geochemical risks of heavy metals.
The photocatalytic reduction of soluble U(VI) to insoluble U(IV) offers a promising strategy for uranium removal and recovery from radioactive wastewater. However, conventional sacrificial agents like methanol generate toxic byproducts and complicate uranium recovery. This study presents a highly efficient visible-light-driven photocatalytic system employing metal-free carbon quantum dots modified g-C3N4 (Cdots/CN) in conjunction with sulfite as a multifunctional sacrificial agent. The Cdots/CN composite was successfully synthesized via a facile calcination method and characterized by SEM, TEM, XPS, and Raman spectroscopy. Under optimized conditions, this synergistic photocatalytic system achieved a high U(VI) removal efficiency of 96.67% and retained over 92% efficiency across five consecutive cycles. As evidenced by control experiments, SO3 2- served dual roles as a hole scavenger and an oxygen consumer. Meanwhile, trapping experiments and electron paramagnetic resonance tests confirmed that SO3 center dot- and photogenerated electrons (e-) were the primary reactive species, with the SO3 center dot exhibiting dominance. XPS and XRD analyses verified the complete reduction of U(VI) to UO2 on the catalyst surface after reaction. This work not only demonstrates an effective photocatalytic strategy for uranium remediation but also highlights the superior performance of sulfite as a green alternative to conventional sacrificial agents, offering new insights for the design of sustainable wastewater treatment systems.
Soil dissolved organic matter (DOM) plays a pivotal role in governing the environmental behavior and fate of metal ions. The inherent heterogeneity of DOM, however, leads to complex and poorly understood interactions with heavy metals. In this study, soil DOM was fractionated into four pH-dependent fractions (pH 2, 3, 5, and 7) using PPL solid-phase extraction combined with sequential acid elution. The binding interactions of these fractions with Cu(II) were systematically investigated through fluorescence spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopies, coupled with two-dimensional correlation (2D-COS) analysis. The results indicated that low-pH fractions exhibited enhanced aromaticity and more pronounced spectral responses. Regardless of the DOM fraction, 2D-COS analysis revealed that short-wavelength chromophores (< 230 nm) preferentially coordinated with Cu(II), and the binding sequence of fluorescent components followed protein-like > fulvic-like > humic-like fraction.

Phosphate-activation sequence has vital influence on the performance and mechanism of Cd(II) removal by biochar. Hence, the difference activation sequences (pyrolysis-impregnation, impregnation-pyrolysis and copyrolysis) were employed to produce K3PO4 activated sludge biochar to investigate the differences of Cd(II) sorption behavior and mechanism from aqueous solution. Compared to pristine sludge biochar (SBC) and pyrolysis-impregnation activated biochar (SBC-IB), the surface of impregnation-pyrolysis activated sludge biochar (SBC-IS) and co-pyrolysis activated sludge biochar (SBC-CS) exhibited rougher, more porous and higher graphitized. Compared to SBC (66.53 mg/g), SBC-IB (141.89 mg/g) and SBC-IS (175.34 mg/g), SBC-CS (262.39 mg/g) possessed the largest Cd(II) adsorption capacity at 303 K. The sorption mechanism could include complexation, precipitation, Cd(II)-pi interaction and cation exchange. By quantifying the mechanism contribution, pyrolysis-impregnation mainly improved complexation capacity, whereas impregnation-pyrolysis and co-pyrolysis primarily enhanced the contribution of precipitation and ion exchange. This work could provide a comprehensive guide for phosphate-activated biochar.
This study investigates the efficacy of activated carbon-nano-hydroxyapatite (AC-nHAP) gel microspheres, composed of sodium alginate and AC-nHAP, as permeable reactive barrier (PRB) fillers for electrokinetic remediation of uranium-contaminated soil.

Uranium mining and smelting processes produce a large amount of low-concentration uranium wastewater, which endangers the ecological environment and human health. It is urgent to remove uranium (VI) from uranium-containing wastewater. In this study, UiO-66 and chitosan (CS) were used as raw materials to prepare UiO-66/CS new composite materials by cross-linking method. Through static adsorption experiments, different pH values, adsorbent dosage, adsorption time and initial uranium concentration were investigated. The influence of external factors on U(VI) removal rate. The UiO-66/CS material was characterized and analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), etc., revealing the mechanism of adsorbent removal of U(VI). The results show that: when the initial uranium concentration is 5 mg/L, the temperature is 298 K, the pH is 5, the dosage is 0.15 g/L, and the adsorption time is 120 min, the removal rate of U(VI) by UiO-66/CS can reach 90.24%. The adsorption process conforms to the quasi-second-order kinetic model and Freundlich isotherm adsorption model. The adsorption and removal mechanism of U(VI) is mainly the complexation of —NH, —COOH, Zr—O,—OH and other functional groups with U(VI).
Uranium is a relatively active and chemically toxic natural radionuclide, its enrichment in the environment poses a serious threat to human health and ecosystems. It is necessary to dispose the uranium contaminated soil safely and efficiently. In this study, the effect of coal gangue-based geopolymers on the solidification of uranium-contaminated soil was examined using a single factor experiment. The highest compressive strength of the solidified body reached 24.6 MPa, and the highest fixation efficiency of uranium reached 77.44%. The results show that lower liquid-to-solid ratio, higher alkali activator content and lower alkali activator modulus promote the solidification of uranium.
