On the Application of Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation for Soils: A Multiscale Study

Two laboratory experiments are used to provide preliminary evidence towards upscaling the microbially induced calcite precipitation (MICP) for soils. Fine sand is packed and subsequently subjected to MICP treatment in 11-liter cylindrical tanks. Different ...

Supercritical CO2 injection and residence time in fluid-saturated rocks: Evidence for CO2 and mineral dissolution and effects on rock integrity

Lucas Xan Pimienta, Ke Liu

CO2 injection and storage in geological reservoirs is an attractive prospect for mitigating the anthropogenic production of greenhouse gases and global warming. The technology could lead to mineral precipitation and therefore stable storage over geological ...

On Lewis acidity/basicity and hydrogen bonding in the equation-of-state approach

Vassily Hatzimanikatis

The central objective of this work is to revisit the development of the widely used Lewis acidity/basicity scales and seek possibilities for their eventual unification. The primary focus is on hydrogen bonding interactions which are dealt with the estimati ...

Communication: Mean-field theory of water-water correlations in electrolyte solutions

Michele Ceriotti, Sylvie Roke, David Mark Wilkins

Long-range ion induced water-water correlations were recently observed in femtosecond elastic second harmonic scattering experiments of electrolyte solutions. To further the qualitative understanding of these correlations, we derive an analytical expressio ...

Development of high efficiency 100% aqueous cobalt electrolyte dye-sensitised solar cells

In this study we report the application of three cobalt redox shuttles in 100% aqueous electrolyte dyesensitised solar cells (DSCs). By using chloride as a counter-ion for cobalt bipyridine, cobalt phenanthroline and cobalt bipyridine pyrazole, the redox s ...

Hydration states of AFm cement phases

Karen Scrivener, Thomas Matschei, Mahsa Saeidpour

The AFm phase, one of the main products formed during the hydration of Portland and calcium aluminate cement based systems, belongs to the layered double hydrate (LDH) family having positively charged layers and water plus charge-balancing anions in the in ...

Catalysis of water oxidation in acetonitrile by iridium oxide nanoparticles

Hubert Girault, Manuel Alejandro Méndez Agudelo, Heron Vrubel, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon, Véronique Amstutz, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta

Water oxidation catalysed by iridium oxide nanoparticles (IrO2 NPs) in water–acetonitrile mixtures using [RuIII(bpy)3]3+ as oxidant was studied as a function of the water content, the acidity of the reaction media and the catalyst concentration. It was obs ...

Accounting for evolving pore size distribution in water retention models for compacted clays

Anne-Catherine Adolphine M Dieudonné

Water retention in compacted clays is dominated by multi-modal pore size distribution which evolves during hydro-mechanical paths depending on water content and stress history. A description of the evolutionary fabric has been recently introduced in models ...
