Beyond the coupled distortion model: structural analysis of the single domain cupredoxin AcoP, a green mononuclear copper centre with original features

Cupredoxins are widely occurring copper-binding proteins with a typical Greek-key beta barrel fold. They are generally described as electron carriers that rely on a T1 copper centre coordinated by four ligands provided by the folded polypeptide. The discov ...

Effect of alkali, aluminium and equilibration time on calcium-silicate-hydrates

Yu Yan

Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the main hydration product in Portland and blended cements, and greatly affects durability and mechanical properties of the hydrated cement. In the presence of Al-rich supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), C-(A-)S ...

Biostimulation as a sustainable solution for acid neutralization and uranium immobilization post acidic in-situ recovery

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Pierre Rossi, Thomas Coral

Major uranium (U) deposits worldwide are exploited by acid leaching, known as 'in-situ recovery' (ISR). ISR involves the injection of an acid fluid into ore-bearing aquifers and the pumping of the resulting metal-containing solution through cation exchange ...

Al uptake in calcium silicate hydrate and the effect of alkali hydroxide

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Yan Yan

The effect of Al and of pH on the structure of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H), the most important hydration product in Portland and blended cement, was studied at Ca/Si similar to 1.0. The presence of Al led to higher amounts of secondary phases, larger ...

Effect of alkali hydroxide on calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H)

Karen Scrivener, Barbara Lothenbach, Yu Yan, Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital, Sheng-Yu Yang

This paper investigates the effect of KOH and NaOH on C-S-H structure and solubility. Both KOH and NaOH have a similar effect, they increase pH values and silicon concentrations, and decrease calcium concentrations. At higher alkali hydroxide concentration ...

Historical Changes in Seasonal Aerosol Acidity in the Po Valley (Italy) as Inferred from Fog Water and Aerosol Measurements

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Acidity profoundly affects almost every aspect that shapes the composition of ambient particles and their environmental impact. Thermodynamic analysis of gas-particle composition datasets offers robust estimates of acidity, but they are not available for l ...

The effect of alkali hydroxides and equilibration time on Al uptake by calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H)

Sonya Barzgar

Cement production accounts for approximately 8% of man-made CO2 emissions. Lowering these CO2 emissions is currently one of the most important and urgent research topics within the cement community. To reduce these emissions, the Portland cement (PC) is pa ...

Fe(II)-Catalyzed Ligand-Controlled Dissolution of Iron(hydr)oxides

Janet Gordon Hering

Dissolution of iron(III)phases is a key process in soils, surface waters, and the ocean. Previous studies found that traces of Fe(II) can greatly increase ligand controlled dissolution rates at acidic pH, but the extent that this also occurs at circumneutr ...
