The release of arsenic from biologically formed arsenic-containing FeS under aerobic environment: Implications for the stability and species variation of nano-sized iron sulfide in remediation

Biologically formed nano-FeS is a potential and low-cost adsorbent and soil remediation agent. Remediation of arsenic from contaminated groundwater and soil by biological FeS is promising, however, the fate and transport of arsenic associated with nano-FeS in the natural environment are poorly under...

Remediation of arsenic from contaminated groundwater and soil by biological FeS is promising, however, the fate and transport of arsenic associated with nano-FeS in the natural environment are poorly understood.
