The new publication in Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta demonstrates how aluminium can slow the transformation of jarosite, and change the products of its transformation. Jarosite is commonly associated with acid sulfate soils, and the study sheds new light on the possible effect of Al in stabilising jarosite in flooded acid sulfate soils.
The study shows that combined sulfate and limestone amendment of intermittently flooded rice growing soil is an effective treatment to decrease the amount of both arsenic and cadmium that is taken up by rice. The findings have been released in an article that was published in the journal Environmental Pollution.
A new study published in Geochimica Cosmochimica Acta explores how vivianite transformation occurs in intertidal sediments in the presence and absence of sulfide and calcium carbonate. The outcomes are important to understand the dynamics of P in sediments following sea level rise.
