Congratulations on the success of the Webinar on Minerals and Mineral Materials

Minerals and Mineral Materials (MMM, Online ISSN 2832-269X) recently successfully hosted its second quarter Webinar on April 23, 2024, from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM UTC+8.

Chaired by Professor Yanbai Shen from Northeastern University, with Professor Chunquan Li from China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) as the guest speaker, the Webinar centered "Advances in the Application of Mineral Materials in Wastewater Treatment"(Figure 1), attracting the attention of numerous experts and scholars in related fields.

The event focused on the construction and performance research of kaolin-based multiscale iron-based materials for wastewater treatment. It mainly discussed the loading of iron-based carbon nitrides on kaolin and the degradation of harmful substances in wastewater through persulfate activation (Figure 2-3).
