Weathering of basalt releases base cations increasing alkalinity and soil pH, which we hypothesized would reduce N2O emissions. Repeated applications of basalt to a heavily fertilized annual Zea mays and Glycine max rotation (maize and soybean) and the low-fertilized perennial bioenergy grass Miscanthus x giganteus (miscanthus) in Illinois raised soil pH from 6.6 to 7.1 in maize/soybean and from 5.4 to 6.3 in miscanthus and consistently reduced annual N2O emissions by 16–40% over 7 growing seasons. Although not statistically significant for any given crop, our results indicate an emerging trend of increased N leaching (23% pooled across crops and years), suggesting a potential shift in N loss from the atmosphere to groundwater. Crop yields increased or remained unchanged, indicating enhanced weathering is compatible with conventional farming practices. Regional land model simulations show that ERW deployment across the US Corn Belt could reduce soil N2O emissions by 11% under a moderate deployment pathway and by 24% under a more intensive deployment pathway. The effects of enhanced weathering extend beyond CO2 sequestration and may benefit both greenhouse gas mitigation and bioenergy crop production, with a potential trade-off of increased N mobility in fertile, organic matter-rich US Midwestern soils.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2026-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149368114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, prior studies have largely treated surfactants as either emulsion stabilizers or hydrate kinetic promoters in isolation, leaving unresolved whether the concentration that optimizes CO2 trapping is compatible with that needed for hydrate formation near submarine temperatures. This study addresses that gap through a systematic, multiscale evaluation of SDS-stabilized CO2 emulsions. At ∼3 °C, SDS precipitates before reaching its critical micelle concentration; solubility, interfacial tension, and bulk hydrate formation experiments identify 1000 ppm as a practical upper limit for porous-medium experiments. High-pressure, low-temperature microfluidic experiments show that SDS above 500 ppm improves CO2–water displacement efficiency by increasing effective CO2-phase viscosity and reducing interfacial tension, yielding smaller CO2 ganglia and stable, piston-like displacement. SDS up to 1000 ppm shortens induction times and increases hydrate film growth rates, following a power-law dependence on subcooling with an exponent of 2. CO2 emulsions further sustain open transport pathways via continued CO2 dissolution, enabling efficient long-term CO2-to-hydrate conversion. These results define a concentration window where SDS simultaneously enhances CO2 storage and hydrate kinetics.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2026-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149368140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conventional recycling recovers metals but often consumes energy and chemicals while sacrificing cathode structural value. Electrochemical methods enable cathode repair, controlled dissolution, and selective recovery, yet their suitability for diverse feeds and product requirements remains unclear. This Critical Review develops a material-state- and product-oriented framework linking cathode degradation, electrochemical transformations, and product specifications. Relithiation, defect repair, and cell-level rejuvenation are evaluated as regeneration strategies, with functional repurposing considered separately. Electrochemical leaching is classified by direct or indirect redox transfer, while paired or coupled operation is treated as reactor-level integration. Electrodialysis, electrosorption, and electrodeposition are assessed for ion redistribution, selective capture, concentration, and product formation. Because extraction efficiency alone cannot establish successful recycling, we emphasize feedstock tolerance, selectivity, Faradaic and ion-transport efficiencies, energy and reagent consumption, component durability, and qualified-product yield within defined system boundaries. Future priorities include diagnosis-guided routing, realistic black-mass validation, standardized reporting, scalable reactors, and integrated techno-economic and life-cycle assessment. Electrochemical technologies can complement established recycling through feedstock-adaptive pathways that retain, recover, or upgrade cathode value.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2026-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149368110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Siderite is a major reservoir of structural Fe(II) and frequently occurs in close proximity with goethite. But whether such close proximity effects transformation of structural Fe(II) remains unclear. This study demonstrated that coupling siderite dissolution and diffusive transport established a narrow microenvironment between siderite surface and bulk solutions, which has higher aqueous Fe(II) (Fe(II)aq) concentration and increased pH. Close proximity enables goethite to access the microenvironment and form the proton-mediated feedback interaction with siderite, promoting the formation of surface-associated Fe(II). Therefore, the surface-associated Fe(II) pool in mixed systems increased to 109.3–538.7 μM, 2.8–13.7 times higher than that in dual-chamber systems. This increase can be quantitatively predicted from siderite surface area (A) and proton activity (aH+) via a unified relationship (A·aH+0.37). The A determines the number of available reaction sites, and the aH+ governs the reaction rate. Nitrobenzene reduction experiments revealed that surface-associated Fe(II) pool sustained reduction capacity over successive reaction cycles by linking structural Fe(II) and Fe(II)aq. These findings identify interaction between siderite and goethite as an overlooked mechanism for generating a persistent surface-associated Fe(II) pool. The species distribution of Fe(II) determines the durability of abiotic natural attenuation in aquifers.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2026-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149368115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using transcriptomics, phosphoproteomics, and metabolomics as discovery tools, combined with validation in Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats and human thyroid follicular epithelial cells (Nthy-ori 3–1), we investigated this mechanism. TBPH increased thyroglobulin (TG) and thyroid peroxidase (TPO) in rat thyroid and elevated circulating triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) levels. In Nthy-ori 3–1 cells, TBPH remodeled glycerophospholipid metabolism, leading to phosphatidylinositol synthase (PIS)-dependent accumulation of the signaling lipid lysophosphatidylinositol 18:1 (LPI_18:1). LPI 18:1 selectively activated the ERK-EGR1 signaling axis and drove TG/TPO upregulation. Knockdown of PIS or EGR1, or pharmacological inhibition of ERK, abolished TBPH-induced TG/TPO expression. These findings reveal a previously unrecognized PIS-LPI-ERK-EGR1 pathway through which TBPH enhances thyroid hormone synthesis, highlighting a lipid metabolism-driven mechanism of endocrine disruption and providing a mechanistic basis for reassessing the health risks of NBFRs.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2026-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149368111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we developed a soil-mediated corrosion-current hydrogel filtration system (SCHFs) that integrates a conductive adsorptive hydrogel membrane with a soil-based corrosion-energy-harvesting unit. Natural soil served as the solid electrolyte, while discarded Al and carbon cloth enabled direct harvesting of corrosion energy for conductive-membrane regulation during gravity-driven filtration. In 60-day continuous river water filtration, the SCHFs permeate concentrations of Cu2+ and Mn2+ approaching the detection limit under the tested conditions. In addition, SCHFs also accelerated NH4+-N stabilization and reduced the final permeate concentration to 0.2 mg L–1. Moreover, a thicker but more porous surface cake layer was formed during SCHF operation, limiting pore blockage and reducing the 60-day flux decline. Microbial community analysis further indicated that SCHFs reshaped the membrane biofilm and enriched taxa associated with nitrogen transformation. Soil and electrode analyses suggested that Al released from the sacrificial electrode was partly immobilized as aluminum-containing silicate minerals, suggesting a low secondary environmental risk under controlled Al input. These results suggest that coupling soil-mediated microcurrent in SCHFs regulate interfacial transport and fouling-layer architecture, thereby improving dissolved-metal retention and long-term hydraulic stability.","PeriodicalId":36,"journal":{"name":"环境科学与技术","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":9.028,"publicationDate":"2026-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149368108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the Pearl River fishes under standardized input conditions, MFRefData retrieved more sequences and covered more species than the refdb and CRABS toolkits, while also achieving higher sequence retrieval efficiency and memory efficiency. In an in silico mock community of 40 fish species and three mitochondrial 12S primer sets, MFRefData produced more correct species-level assignments than databases generated by the refdb and CRABS toolkits. Applied to real eDNA samples, MFRefData recovered broader species-level biodiversity signals.

We investigate the organic acid-enhanced extraction of critical elements from wollastonite-rich tailings while assessing carbon dioxide (CO2) mineralization potential. Tailings were obtained from a mine in New York and contained aluminum, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, and titanium in wollastonite, pyroxene, garnet, and feldspar phases. Flow-through dissolution experiments at 40 and 80 °C using citric, formic, and oxalic acids (0.001–0.1 M), coupled with online pH, temperature, and pressure monitoring, were conducted, and the data were used to validate a multimineral kinetic model based on population balance equations, aqueous geochemistry, and ligand-dependent dissolution rate laws. Formic and oxalic acids achieved superior extraction, with formic acid particularly efficient for calcium─enabling coupled CEs recovery and CO2 mineralization. The ligand-promoted rate laws show a kinetic order of 0.5–1 with respect to formate activity for all minerals. Moreover, comparison of the estimated rates with previous works shows up to 1 order of magnitude faster dissolution in the presence of 0.1 M formic acid, reaching a plateau around pH 4 as the formate activity becomes constant. Overall, our multimineral kinetic framework demonstrates that model complexity should match element distribution, with mineral-specific kinetic models required for elements concentrated in distinct phases.

This work presents an integrative framework fingerprinting polymer biodegradation across phylogenetically diverse microorganisms. A modified high-throughput clear-zone assay was adapted to physiologically diverse species through minimal media formulations and used to characterize fragmentation across 19 microorganisms and 14 commercial polymers. Paucimonas lemoignei, Priestia megaterium, and Pseudomonas stutzeri showed expansive fragmentation capability. Poly(1,4-butylene adipate), degraded by 11 of 19 species, proved most universally degradable, while poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate), poly(ε-caprolactone), and poly(lactic acid) were degraded more selectively. Plate-based screening of protease, esterase, and urease activity supported the aliphatic-ester selectivity pattern. MicroResp quantification, addressing the often-conflated distinction between fragmentation and mineralization, confirmed mineralization in 63.3% (19 of 30) fragmentation-positive pairs. Comparative genomics identified 465 depolymerase homologues, 187 with predicted signal peptides.

Conventional Raman-activated cell sorting (RACS) enables label-free single-cell phenotyping but often compromises cell viability during laser interrogation and ejection, limiting the cultivation of functional indigenous microorganisms. Tire-wear-derived 6PPD-quinone (6PPDQ) is increasingly recognized as a highly toxic emerging contaminant in roadside soils, yet the indigenous microorganisms associated with its biological attenuation in roadside soils remain poorly characterized. Using 6PPDQ as a model emerging contaminant, we developed a droplet-shielded RACS platform based on a monolayer micropore-array chip that confines individual cells within picoliter-scale aqueous droplets during Raman phenotyping and laser ejection. Under the tested workflow-specific conditions, droplet-shielded RACS increased postsorting cultivation success of Escherichia coli from 13.9% to 95.6% and improved the cultivation success of 13C-6PPDQ-assimilating soil cells from 6.67% to 36.7%. Isotopic red shifts at 1001 and 1668 cm–1 enabled identification of cells assimilating 13C-6PPDQ-derived carbon. Guided by this strategy, we recovered indigenous 6PPDQ degraders affiliated with Bordetella and Brucella and confirmed their degradation capacity in pure culture. DNA-SIP provided complementary evidence for assimilation of 13C-labeled ring-derived carbon by the corresponding taxa. Single-cell genome amplification and sequencing identified cytochrome P450-, protocatechuate-, and catechol-metabolism-associated genes, indicating predicted metabolic potential in 6PPDQ transformation.
