Role of coal ash morphology and composition in delivery and transport of trace metals in the aquatic environment.

Journal Article Environmental pollution (Barking, Essex : 1987) · December 2024 Fly ash is predominately the inorganic byproduct of coal combustion for electrical power generation. It is composed of aluminosilicates with Fe, Mg, K, and Ca forming submicron to 100 μm spheres and amorphous particles. During combustion trace elements are ... Full text Cite

The potential water quality impacts of hard-rock lithium mining: Insights from a legacy pegmatite mine in North Carolina, USA.

Journal Article The Science of the total environment · December 2024 The global green energy transition has spurred increased lithium exploration and extraction, yet the water quality impacts from lithium mining are understudied. This study investigates the potential water quality impacts from a legacy hard-rock lithium min ... Full text Cite

Reconstructing the depositional environment and diagenetic modification of global phosphate deposits through integration of uranium and strontium isotopes

Journal Article Chemical Geology · September 5, 2024 The geochemistry of phosphate rocks can provide valuable information on their depositional environment and the redox condition of global oceans through time. Here we examine trace metal concentrations and uranium (δ238U, δ234U) and strontium (87Sr/86Sr) is ... Full text Cite
