Dust in the wind: Crystalline silicates, corundum and periclase in PG 2112+059
We have determined the mineralogical composition of dust in the Broad Absorption Line (BAL) quasar PG 2112+059 using mid-infrared spectroscopy obtained with the Spitzer Space Telescope.

Low toxic corrosion inhibitors for aluminum in fresh water [PDF]
Combinations of chemical compounds that reportedly reduce the corrosion of aluminum in fresh water were evaluated. These included combinations of borates, nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, silicates, and mercaptobenzothiazole.

Improved CMAS corrosion resistance of rare earth niobates by high-entropy and composite design
This study reports the preparation of two single-phase high-entropy rare-earth niobates (RE1/5Ho1/5Er1/5Y1/5Yb1/5)3NbO7, (RE = Ce, Lu), and two composite-phase high-entropy rare-earth niobates (RE1/5Ho1/5Er1/5Y1/5Yb1/5)3NbO7:(RE1/5Ho1/5Er1/5Y1/5Yb1/5 ...

Effect of microstructure of modified diatomite on its adsorption properties
The effect of microstructural changes caused by chemical modification of diatomite with aluminosilicate nanoparticles on its adsorption properties with respect to fluorine has been elucidated. The surface modification of diatomite with aluminosilicate is

Supercritical Fluid Geochemistry in Geothermal Systems
Supercritical fluids exist in the roots of many active high-temperature geothermal systems. Utilization of such supercritical resources may multiply energy production from geothermal systems; yet, their occurrence, formation mechanism, and chemical ...

Development of durable “green” concrete exposed to deicing chemicals via synergistic use of locally available recycled materials and multi-scale modifiers [PDF]
From the economic and social perspectives, the use of waste materials would not be attractive until their costs and quality can satisfy the construction requirements.

Simultaneous aluminum, silicon, and sodium coordination changes in 6 GPa sodium aluminosilicate glasses [PDF]
We present the first direct observation of high-coordinated Si and Al occurring together in a series of high-pressure sodium aluminosilicate glasses, quenched from melts at 6 GPa.

Differentiation of Planetesimals and the Thermal Consequences of Melt Migration
We model the heating of a primordial planetesimal by decay of the short-lived radionuclides Al-26 and Fe-60 to determine (i) the timescale on which melting will occur; (ii) the minimum size of a body that will produce silicate melt and differentiate ...

Concentration of main elements in mineral matter of Polish coking coal and its cleaning products
The chemical composition of coal mineral matter, and particularly the content of major elements (Al, Si, Fe, Ca, K, Na, Mg), plays an important role in the processing and use of bituminous coals.
