Operando Observation of (Bi)carbonate Precipitation during Electrochemical CO2 Reduction in Strongly Acidic Electrolytes

Corsin Battaglia, Nukorn Plainpan, Alessandro Senocrate

Precipitation of (bi)carbonate salts during the electrochemical CO2 reduction (CO2RR) has been identified as a major cause of degradation and one of the main challenges to be overcome before implementing this technology on the industrial scale. Recently, t ...

Contradict mechanism of long-term magnesium and sodium sulfate attacks of nano silica-modified cement mortars - Experimental and thermodynamic modeling

Qiao Wang

The mechanisms of external sulfate attack on cement mortars containing nano silica have been studied under full immersion conditions after 3 years. The sulfate degradation processes were compared between sodium sulfate and magnesium sulfate solutions with ...

The impact of calcite impurities in clays containing kaolinite on their reactivity in cement after calcination

Karen Scrivener, Franco Alberto Zunino Sommariva, Emmanuelle Boehm Courjault

The use of supplementary cementitious materials as a partial replacement for Portland cement is the most effective way to reduce the carbon footprint of the concrete industry. Raw clays containing kaolinite (kaolin) are promising substitute materials. In t ...

Tuning the Incorporation of Magnesium into Calcite during Its Crystallization from Additive-Free Aqueous Solution

Esther Amstad, Camelia Borca, Huachuan Du

Under ambient conditions, marine organisms are able to synthesize a variety of functional materials, ranging from eye lenses to protective shells through the meticulous control over magnesium incorporation into calcite during its crystallization. The mecha ...

Optimizing Mesostructured Silver Catalysts for Selective Carbon Dioxide Conversion into Fuels

Sophia Haussener, Silvan Suter

Mesostructured silver catalysts have shown a substantial rise in reaction selectivity for the conversion of CO2 into fuels with increasing thickness of ordered, inverse-opal films. The challenge lies in the optimization of the morphology to maximize the CO ...

Magnesium Partitioning Between Earth's Mantle and Core and its Potential to Drive an Early Exsolution Geodynamo

James Badro

Magnesium partitioning between metal and silicate was experimentally investigated between 34 and 138GPa, 3,500 and 5,450K using laser-heated diamond anvil cells. The 22 measurements are combined with previously published data (total of 49 measurements) to ...

Influence of calcium and magnesium carbonates on hydration kinetics, hydrate assemblage and microstructural development of metakaolin containing composite cements

Mohsen Ben Haha, Pawel Tadeusz Durdzinski

The hydration of metakaolin composite cements containing quartz, natural limestone and dolomite rock is studied using a multi-method approach and modelling. The study demonstrates that the calcite present in limestone and dolomite rock is very reactive. Co ...

Travertines associated with the Alhama-Jaraba thermal waters (NE, Spain): Genesis and geochemistry

Freshwater carbonates are interesting archives in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions. However, more studies of those systems are needed to fully understand past environments. In this work the actively-forming travertines of the Alhama-Jaraba thermal syste ...

Rapid mobilization of noncrystalline U(IV) coupled with FeS oxidation

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Malgorzata Alicja Stylo

The reactivity of disordered, noncrystalline U(IV) species remains poorly characterized despite their prevalence in biostimulated sediments. Because of the lack of crystalline structure, noncrystalline U(IV) may be susceptible to oxidative mobilization und ...
