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, 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 ...

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 ...

Evaluation of Photocatalysts for Water Splitting through Combined Analysis of Surface Coverage and Energy-Level Alignment

Alfredo Pasquarello, Francesco Ambrosio, Zhendong Guo

To examine whether suitable conditions occur for the water splitting reaction at their interfaces with liquid water, we determine the pH-dependent surface coverage for a series of semiconductors, including GaAs, GaP, GaN, CdS, ZnO, SnO2, and rutile and ana ...

Hematite Photoanodes for Solar Water Splitting: A Detailed Spectroelectrochemical Analysis on the pH-Dependent Performance

Nestor Guijarro Carratala, Florian Le Formal, Yongpeng Liu, Florent Alexandre Boudoire

The effect of the electrolyte pH on the performance of metal oxide photoanodes for solar water oxidation has not been fully resolved, and contrasting views have been presented in recent reports. Herein, a comprehensive set of spectroelectrochemical techniq ...

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 ...

Probing renal pH using hyperpolarized [1-13C]alaninamide

Rolf Gruetter, Arnaud Comment, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara, Alice Radaelli

Hyperpolarized molecular probes can be effectively used as pH markers. To date, the only two probes reported in vivo as extracellular pH sensors are 13C-bicarbonate, and [1,5-13C2]zymonic acid. Alaninamide is a derivative of alanine which is found to be se ...

Halide removal from waters by silver nanoparticles and hydrogen peroxide

Urs von Gunten

The objective of this study was to remove halides from waters by silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The experimental parameters were optimized and the mechanism involved was also determined. The AgNP/H2O2 process proved efficacious ...

VUV/UV light inducing accelerated phenol degradation with a low electric input

Juan Kiwi, Mengkai Li

This study presents the first evidence for the accelerated degradation of phenol by Fenton's reagent in a minifluidic VUV/UV photoreaction system (MVPS). A low-pressure mercury lamp used in the MVPS led to a complete degradation of phenol within 4-6 min. T ...

RSC Publishing2017

A better understanding of silica dissolution-precipitation reactions at high pH aqueous solutions allows for promotion of favorable (e.g., pozzolanic) reactions and mitigation of deleterious (e.g., alkali-silica) reactions in concrete. In this paper, the k ...
