The discovery of thousands of exoplanets in the last two decades that are so different from planets in our own solar system challenges many areas of traditional planetary science. However, ideas for how to detect signs of life in this mélange of planetary possibilities have lagged, and only in the last few years has modeling how signs of life might appear on genuinely alien worlds begun in earn...

Mineral trace elements (MTE) constitute an environmental restriction on the recycling of municipal solid waste incineration-bottom ash (MSWI-BA). The study speciation MTE and factors that control their release allows to predict behavior under different conditions and, consequently, suggest actions expand management MSWI-BA.A geochemical modeling led a better understanding MTE. In this study, ta...
