Characterization of novel arsenic-iron precipitates formed during biological iron reduction

Lead Institution

Colorado State University

Principal Investigator

Thomas Borch

Project type

Exploratory Research

Arsenic (As) is a priority pollutant, the fate of which is in part controlled by reactions with ferrous iron. Ferrous iron is capable of mediating solid phase transformations of soil and sediment…

Biogenic Iron Mineralization by a Novel Gram-Positive Bacterium: Impact on the Fate of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene

Lead Institution

Principal Investigator

Thomas Borch

Project type

Exploratory Research

Introduction We are studying the impact of biogenically produced Fe(II) and humic acid analogs on the (bio)transformation of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT). The batch systems that we are investigating…

Fe oxide and organic carbon interactions: implications for global carbon sequestration

Lead Institution

Colorado State University

Principal Investigator

Thomas Borch

Project type

Large-Scale EMSL Research

Iron (Fe) minerals can have large specific surface areas and reactive functional groups, which make them strong sorbents for soil nutrients, contaminants, and organic matter (OM), therefore,…
