This study investigates how anthropogenic resources could fit into the United Nations Framework Classification for Fossil Energy and Mineral Reserves and Resources 2009 (UNFC-2009). Compared to geogenic resources, anthropogenic deposits are more heterogene ...
Objective. Mechanism of calcification of cardiac valves was investigated through a comparative characterization of structure, morphology, and size of hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals formed in mineral deposit on cardiac valves, bone tissue, and crystals synth ...
A (Ca,Na)-hexaluminosilicate, whose Ca end member was previously synthesized in numerous high-pressure experiments, has been identified by Raman spectroscopy in heavily shocked Martian meteorites. This mineral has a structural formula close to (CaxNa1-x)Al ...
A key problem in environmental science and in engineering geology is the often incomplete understanding of the origin of dissolved components in groundwater. The dissolved contents of trace elements in groundwater are of special importance for groundwater ...
A comparative characterization of crystal structure, morphology, sizes, and orientation in Ca phosphate precipitation from aqueous solutions, the mineral phase in bones, and mineral deposits on cardiac valves has been performed by high-resolution transmiss ...
In vivo calcification of polyethylene and glycol diacrylate (PEG DA) hydrogels of mol. wt. (MW) 400, 1000, 4000, 6000 and 10,000 and polyethylene glycol tetraacrylate (PEG TA) of MW 18,500 was investigated using a rat s.c. model. This study was performed i ...
Curbing and capturing CO2 emissions is no longer enough to cope with the demanding environmental challenges of the coming years. Long-term storage technologies need deployment, to help industrial sectors to reach ambitious emission standards. Mineral carbo ...
Extractive resources are indisputably a necessary component of international sustainable development. Despite current advancements in the circular economy, world production needs for raw materials are ever increasing, and still a long way remains for it to ...
