Book
Kumar, M., Agarwal, V., Gomes, R. L., & Prasad Panday, D. (Eds.). (2024). Water Sustainability and Hydrological Extremes: Quantity, Quality, and Security. Elsevier

Water Sustainability and Hydrological Extremes: Quantity, Quality, and Security presents a study for the mitigation of hydrological extremes through case studies. The focus is on the effect of extremes on water quality and the fate of geogenic, micro... Read More about Water Sustainability and Hydrological Extremes: Quantity, Quality, and Security.

Interactions between antibiotic removal, water matrix characteristics and layered double hydroxide sorbent material (2024)
Journal Article
Johnston, A.-L., Lester, E., Williams, O., & Gomes, R. L. (2024). Interactions between antibiotic removal, water matrix characteristics and layered double hydroxide sorbent material. Chemosphere, 367, Article 143546. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chemosphere.2024.143546

Sorption by layered double hydroxides (LDH) is gaining substantial interest for remediating emerging contaminants, including pharmaceuticals from wastewaters. Findings from a sorbent material performing successfully in lab-based studies using non-env...

Zero-valent iron (ZVI) facilitated in-situ selenium (Se) immobilization and its recovery by magnetic separation: Mechanisms and implications for microbial ecology (2024)
Journal Article
Wang, Z., Lü, C., Wang, Y., Gomes, R. L., Clarke, C. J., & Gomes, H. I. (2024). Zero-valent iron (ZVI) facilitated in-situ selenium (Se) immobilization and its recovery by magnetic separation: Mechanisms and implications for microbial ecology. Journal of Hazardous Materials, 473, Article 134591. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhazmat.2024.134591

Selenium (Se(VI)) is environmentally toxic. One of the most popular reducing agents for Se(VI) remediation is zero-valent iron (ZVI). However, most ZVI studies were carried out in water matrices, and the recovery of reduced Se has not been investigat...
