In situ ATR‐FTIR spectroscopic study of metformin adsorption on gibbsite and Loring silt loam
Metformin is an anti‐diabetic drug that has received increased environmental attention due to probable toxic effects on aquatic ecosystems. Although several studies reported metformin adsorption on soils and minerals, spectroscopic evidence of adsorption

Application of Chemometric Methods in X-Ray Diffraction Data on Arabica Coffee Management Soils in Brazil. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Soil mineralogy, analysed by x‐ray diffraction (XRD), is crucial to understanding its variability and influence on physical and chemical properties. However, soil analysis by XRD faces challenges, especially with large sample volumes and subjective interpretation.

Chemical and mineralogical characteristics of tropical soils on the transport of Na<sup>+</sup>, K<sup>+</sup>, Ca<sup>2+</sup>, and Mg<sup>2+</sup> from the application of treated wastewater. [PDF]
Abstract With the search for water security, the reuse of water in irrigation becomes interesting and inevitable. Given the complexity of soil–solute interactions, the use of simplified artificial solutions represents an innovative approach, as it facilitates understanding these interactions while posing no risk to human health or the environment ...

Solid-state NMR characterisation of the thermal transformation of a Hungarian white illite [PDF]
1H, 27Al, 29Si and 39K solid-state NMR are reported from a Hungarian illite 2:1 clay for samples heated up 1600 °C. This single-phase sample has a small amount of aluminium substitution in the silica layer and very low iron-content (0.4 wt%).
