ABSTRACT The fractionation of milligram quantities of gadolinium (Gd) and terbium (Tb) ions is demonstrated using annular free‐flow isotachophoresis (ITP) with ammonium as the leading ion and hydronium as the terminating ion, and α‐hydroxyisobutyric acid (HIBA) and acetate as lanthanide complexing ligands.

Risk assessment using IEUBK model for the Naica mine tailings
Abstract Mexico has a long history of mineral extraction, during which limited environmental regulations allowed the accumulation of toxic waste near communities, primarily in rural or undeveloped areas. Some of these toxic substances, such as lead, pose significant risks to vulnerable populations, particularly children aged 0 to 7 years.

Multifactorial Screening for Fine‐Scale Selection of CCS Industrial Clusters and Hubs in Brazil
ABSTRACT As Brazil moves toward implementing its decarbonization commitments, carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs are emerging as a key pathway for large‐scale CO2 abatement in hard‐to‐abate sectors. This paper presents a multifactorial, data‐driven framework to screen and prioritize potential CCS industrial clusters and hubs across Brazilian regions,
