The 9th national conference on applied geochemistry in China will be held Chengdu, Sichuan province, October 2023, hosted by the committee of geochemistry, Chinese Society for Mineralogy, Petrology and Geochemistry (CSMPG) [...]

Microbial abundance and diversity in deep subsurface environments is dependent upon the availability of energy and carbon. However, supplies of oxidants and reductants capable of sustaining life within mafic and ultramafic continental aquifers undergoing low-temperature water-rock reaction are relatively unknown. We conducted an extensive analysis of the geochemistry and microbial communities r...

One hundred and nineteen samples of clay (n = 42), rock and sand temper (n = 7), and pottery (n = 70) from the various drainages in and around the North Carolina Sandhills were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis (NAA) at the University of Missouri Research Reactor Center (MURR). Here we report the analytical methods and describe some of the chemical patterns identified in the ...

Arsenic occurs naturally in the earth's crust and is widely distributed in the environment. Natural mineralization and activities of microorganisms enhance arsenic mobilization in the environment but human intervention has exacerbated arsenic contamination. Although arsenic is useful for industrial, agricultural, medicinal and other purposes, it exerts a toxic effect in a variety of organisms, ...
