Carbon dioxide removal could result in the use of lower-grade iron ore in a decarbonized net-negative emission steel industry (2024)
Journal Article
Renforth, P., Campbell, J., Foteinis, S., Cosgun, E., Young, J., Strunge, T., …van der Spek, M. (in press). Carbon dioxide removal could result in the use of lower-grade iron ore in a decarbonized net-negative emission steel industry. Journal of cleaner production, Article 142987. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.142987

Reducing the emissions from steel production is essential in meeting climate targets while maintaining economic prosperity. Here we show that applying deep emissions mitigation to the steel industry together with the reaction of by-product slag with...

PFAS River Export Analysis Highlights the Urgent Need for Catchment-Scale Mass Loading Data (2024)
Journal Article
Byrne, P., Mayes, W. M., James, A. L., Comber, S., Biles, E., Riley, A. L., & Runkel, R. L. (2024). PFAS River Export Analysis Highlights the Urgent Need for Catchment-Scale Mass Loading Data. Environmental Science and Technology Letters, 11(3), 266–272. https://doi.org/10.1021/acs.estlett.4c00017

Source apportionment of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) requires an understanding of the mass loading of these compounds in river basins. However, there is a lack of temporally variable and catchment-scale mass loading data, meaning identi...

Environmental behaviour of iron and steel slags in coastal settings (2024)
Journal Article
Riley, A. L., Cameron, J., Burke, I. T., Onnis, P., Macdonald, J. M., Gandy, C. J., …Mayes, W. M. (2024). Environmental behaviour of iron and steel slags in coastal settings. Environmental science and pollution research, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-024-33897-4

Iron and steel slags have a long history of both disposal and beneficial use in the coastal zone. Despite the large volumes of slag deposited, comprehensive assessments of potential risks associated with metal(loid) leaching from iron and steel by-pr...
