Metal Ions and the Route to Life
Volume 28, entitled Metal Ions and the Route to Life, of the series Metal Ions in Life Sciences, advocates for the prime importance of the recognition of metal ions and metal-bearing minerals in the transition from inanimate matter to first life on our planet. Unlike the relatively unreactive organic molecules, the traditional protagonists of orthodox origin-of-life hypotheses, metals and minerals are natural catalysts, abundantly present in the majority of settings on the early Earth considered as conducive to bringing forth life. In these palaeogeochemical settings, they may have catalyzed the anabolic conversions of inorganic precursor molecules into organics and may have converted redox disequilibria between environmental reductants and oxidants into the ordering, i.e. the lowering of entropy, of first living entities. Far-fetched? Yet, this is precisely what metal ions do in life today! An unlikely coalition of biology (biochemistry and bioenergetics) and physics (thermodynamics and condensed matter physics) is growingly questioning the plausibility of the orthodox hypotheses while putting metal ions and minerals centre-stage in their scenarios. In this volume, 29 internationally renowned experts from fields as diverse as microbiology, biochemistry, astrobiology, electrochemistry, ecology, mineralogy, geology and geochemistry shine light from their individual angles on this topic, bringing home metal ions' primordial importance to extant life, presenting minerals with tantalizing reactivities appearing as look-alikes of life's processes and sketching out plausible, metal-ion-based scenarios for life's emergence on planet Earth. Metal Ions and the Route to Life provides the empirical groundwork to interested researchers and the general public for revisiting their preconceived ideas about the origin of life and for appreciating the absolute indispensability of metal ions in life - now just as at its beginnings!

Degradation and Recycling of Polymer Materials
This Special Issue features papers and reviews on the topics of "microplastics," "recycling," and "plastic degradation mechanisms." Discarded plastics are currently causing significant environmental damage to diverse ecosystems such as the ocean, meaning that the development of purification methods is an urgent priority. Focusing on "microplastics" as a representative environmental problem, this Special Issue includes research regarding their formation mechanisms. Additionally, we have gathered papers and reviews on "recycling" and "plastic degradation mechanisms" as potential approaches for developing methods to suppress their formation. Furthermore, regarding "microplastics," we have included papers that delve into the generation behavior of nanoplastics and which detail the latest cutting-edge research in this field. The sections focused on "recycling" and "plastic degradation mechanisms" feature carefully selected papers that present novel technologies not previously explored. We hope that this Special Issue will serve as a catalyst for the development of new technologies for purifying microplastics.

Introductory Chemistry Problems
The essential point of the book is to show students in Introductory Chemistry classes how to obtain answers that are at least reasonable, and to realize when there must have been an error because the answer falls outside the range of possible values. Students often leave ridiculous answers because they simply plug into equations they have memorized (correctly or incorrectly). They have not learned to think about the meaning of the numbers that appear in their calculations. This book attempts to show students how to correct this.

Feature Papers in Extractive Metallurgy
Extractive metallurgy deals with the processes for the recovery of valuable metals from ores and concentrates (primary metallurgy) or waste raw materials such as slags, slime, and flying ashes (recycling or secondary metallurgy). Regarding the type of obtained metals, these processes are divided into five different groups: extractive metallurgy of iron and steel, non-ferrous extractive metallurgy, extractive metallurgy of precious metals, extractive metallurgy of rare earth elements, and refractory metal extractive metallurgy. These processes in extractive metallurgy include unit processes for separating highly pure metals from undesirable metals in an economically efficient system. Extractive metallurgy is based on unit metallurgical operations that are usually separated into three categories: 1) hydrometallurgy (leaching, mixing, neutralization, precipitation, cementation, and crystallization); 2) pyrometallurgy (roasting and smelting); and 3) electrometallurgy (aqueous electrolysis and molten salt electrolysis).
