Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Most environmental issues are directly or indirectly related to chemicals. What potentially toxic substances are in the environment? Where do they come from? What happens when they enter the environment? What about their transformation? What harm could be done? What measures and monitoring should we take? What measures can be taken to prevent or reduce the environmental impact of new chemical products before they enter the environment? To investigate and understand the chemistry of our environment, contamination of the environment, and consequent impacts on environmental and public health, environmental analytical chemistry emerged and was applied in the initial detection and monitoring of pollutants, separation and removal of contaminants, and the recovery and purification of vital wastes and environmental remediation. 

The development of environmental science thus depends on the development of environmental analytical chemistry. This Special Issue of the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is seeking technical innovations in analytical chemistry for environmental research with an emphasis on novel contributions on environmental detection and remediation. 

Topics include but are not limited to the following: environmental analytical chemistry, environmental behavior and the effects of pollutants, environmental pollution and remediation chemistry, environmental geochemistry, environmental toxicology and health, and electrochemistry analysis.

Vivianite plays an important role in alleviating the phosphorus crisis and phosphorus pollution. The dissimilatory iron reduction has been found to trigger the biosynthesis of vivianite in soil environments, but the mechanism behind this remains largely unexplored. Herein, by regulating the crystal surfaces of iron oxides, we explored the influence of different crystal surface structures on the synthesis of vivianite driven by microbial dissimilatory iron reduction. The results showed that different crystal faces significantly affect the reduction and dissolution of iron oxides by microorganisms and the subsequent formation of vivianite. In general, goethite is more easily reduced by Geobacter sulfurreducens than hematite. Compared with Hem_{100} and Goe_L{110}, Hem_{001} and Goe_H{110} have higher initial reduction rates (approximately 2.25 and 1.5 times, respectively) and final Fe(II) content (approximately 1.56 and 1.20 times, respectively). In addition, in the presence of sufficient PO43−, Fe(II) combined to produce phosphorus crystal products. The final phosphorus recoveries of Hem_{001} and Goe_H{110} systems were about 5.2 and 13.6%, which were 1.3 and 1.6 times of those of Hem_{100} and Goe_L{110}, respectively. Material characterization analyses indicated that these phosphorous crystal products are vivianite and that different iron oxide crystal surfaces significantly affected the size of the vivianite crystals. This study demonstrates that different crystal faces can affect the biological reduction dissolution of iron oxides and the secondary biological mineralization process driven by dissimilatory iron reduction.
