UV-activated assisted electrochemical process for mine water deep mineralization and resource recovery.
Article in Nature communications, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
High-salinity mine water generated during membrane concentration of mine water contains structurally stable complex organic matter that resists removal and mineralization by conventional advanced oxidation processes, ultimately producing low-value by-product salts that hinder the resource utilization pathway. Leveraging the ultraviolet sensitivity of inherent chromophore groups and conjugated structures, this study developed an ultraviolet-activated assisted electrochemical process. By harnessing ultraviolet/oxidant synergies, this approach achieves ~89.9% total organic carbon removal, with minimal performance decay over 1000 hours. Combined with ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, fluorescence excitation-emission-matrix spectroscopy, fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer, and model contaminant experiments, this study elucidates an ultraviolet activation and radical attack synergistic mechanism driving organic mineralization. The direct integration of purified brine with bipolar membrane electrodialysis successfully produces acid, high-purity alkali (>99%), and reusable water, thereby closing the loop of impurities removal and resource recovery. This integrated system offers a strong strategy for high-value resource recovery and sustainable mine water management.
