Conventional soil improvement techniques can lead to permanent soil pollution or emission of carbon dioxide. It is therefore a challenge for engineers to design alternative sustainable and cost-effective grouting techniques. In Microbial Induced Calcite Pr ...
Simulation of biodegradation of chlorinated solvents in dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source zones requires a model that accounts for the complexity of processes involved and that is consistent with available laboratory studies. This paper describ ...
Microbial Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP) is an innovative technique for soil grouting in which injected bacteria supplemented with chemicals lead to calcite precipitation in soils. A comprehensive research work is carried out to better understand and ...
The selective radius shift model was used to relate changes in mineral volume due to precipitation/dissolution reactions to changes in hydraulic properties affecting flow in porous media. The model accounts for (i) precipitation/dissolution taking place on ...
Two methods of covalent grafting of a protein onto a calcite surface were developed. Single-molecule force spectroscopy was used to examine the characteristics of individual albumin-albumin polyclonal body complexes. The practical applicability of the prop ...
Two protocols of covalent attachment of proteins onto the calcite surface, viz. one using the metallochelat and second using the aminohexil, are elaborated. Single molecule force spectroscopy method has been used to test their efficiency and practical appl ...
It has been generally thought that scleractinian corals form purely aragonitic skeletons. We show that a well-preserved fossil coral, Coelosmilia sp. from the Upper Cretaceous (about 70 million years ago), has preserved skeletal structural features identic ...
The Mg/Ca ratio of Foraminifera calcium carbonate tests is used as proxy for seawater temperature and widely applied to reconstruct global paleo-climatic changes. However, the mechanisms involved in the carbonate biomineralization process are poorly unders ...
Calcite is among the most abundant minerals on earth and plays a central role in many environmental and geochemical processes. Here we used amplitude modulation atomic force microscopy (AFM) operated in a particular regime to visualize single ions close to ...
The effect of sorption and coprecipitation of Fe(II) with calcite on the kinetics of Fe(II) oxidation was investigated. The interaction of Fe(II) with calcite was studied experimentally in the absence and presence of oxygen. The sorption of Fe(II) on calci ...
