Magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) is an iron ore mineral that is globally mined especially for steel production. It is denser (5.15 g/cm 3 ) than Earth’s crust (~2.7 g/cm 3 ) and is expected to accumulate at the bottom of melt-rich ...

Infections with multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria constitute a silent pandemic threat that is increasing globally. A major technical and scientific hurdle hampering the development of efficient antibiotics against ...

Background: As shown in previous studies vegetarians and especially vegans are at risk for iron deficiency. Our study evaluated the iron status of German female vegans. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the dietary ...

In Lower Saxony three full-scale plants for the mechanical-biological pretreatment (MBP) of residual municipal solid waste (RMSW) prior to landfilling are now in operation. The three plants support a wide range of mechanical ...

The change of the oxidation state of redox-sensitive elements is frequently associated with a change in solubility and mobility. Understanding these mobilization processes and developing monitoring tools is crucial to limit ...
