Effect of treatment on the microstructural characteristics of bio-improved sand

Bio-chemical processes have recently become the core of several studies in the geoengineering field, where the emphasis is placed on new and emerging applications. Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation has been introduced as an alternative cementation ...

Growth and dissolution of calcite in the presence of adsorbed stearic acid

Francesco Stellacci, Georg Fantner, Kislon Voitchovsky, Blake William Erickson, Maria Ricci, Juan José Segura Sugranes

The interaction of organic molecules with the surface of calcite plays a central role in many geochemical, petrochemical and industrial processes and in biomineralization. Adsorbed organics, typically fatty acids, can interfere with the evolution of calcit ...

Morphology, microstructure, crystallography, and chemistry of distinct CaCO3 deposits formed by early recruits of the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis

Anders Meibom, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Melany Melissa Gilis

Scleractinian corals begin their biomineralization process shortly after larval settlement with the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) structures at the interface between the larval tissues and the substrate. The newly settled larvae exert variable deg ...

Toward Demystifying the Mohs Hardness Scale

Jean-François Molinari

Today, the Mohs scale is used profusely throughout educational systems without any persuasive understanding of the fundamental principles. Why one mineral has a scratch hardness over the next culminating in a scale of 1 (chalk) to 10 (diamond) has no atomi ...

Trace concentration - Huge impact: Nitrate in the calcite/Eu(III) system

Kislon Voitchovsky, Moritz Schmidt

The interactions of trivalent lanthanides and actinides with secondary mineral phases such as calcite is of high importance for the safety assessment of deep geological repositories for high level nuclear waste (HLW). Due to similar ionic radii, calcium-be ...

Effect of accelerated carbonation on AOD stainless steel slag for its valorisation as a CO2-sequestering construction material

Muhammad Salman, Ruben Anton Snellings

Non-stabilized Argon Oxygen Decarburisation (AODNS) slag in powdered form was examined for its carbon dioxide sequestration capacity and for its potential utilisation in the fabrication of high value building materials. The curing of the sample was carried ...

Effect of water on the frictional behaviour of cohesive rocks during earthquakes

Marie Estelle Solange Violay, Andrea Cavallo

Fluid-rock interactions can control earthquake nucleation and the evolution of earthquake sequences. Experimental studies of fault frictional properties in the presence of fluid can provide unique insights into these interactions. We report the first resul ...
