Predicting the dissolution kinetics of silicate glasses using machine learning

open access: yes, 2017
Predicting the dissolution rates of silicate glasses in aqueous conditions is a complex task as the underlying mechanism(s) remain poorly understood and the dissolution kinetics can depend on a large number of intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

Artificial weathering pools of calcium-rich industrial waste for CO2 sequestration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Processes of carbonation of calcium-rich aqueous industrial wastes from acetylene production were performed mimicking rock weathering, using the atmospheric carbon dioxide as reactant.

Effects of Artificial Weathering on Some Surface Properties of Anatolian Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) Wood Applied with Yacht Varnish

open access: yesBioResources, 2023
Anatolian chestnut wood is an industrial material used in various indoor and outdoor applications in Turkey. This study investigated the effects of artificial weathering (times: 144, 288, 432, and 576 h) conditions on color parameters (L*, ∆L*, a*, ∆a ...

First disk-resolved spectroscopy of (4) Vesta

open access: yes, 2009
Vesta, the second largest Main Belt asteroid, will be the first to be explored in 2011 by NASA's Dawn mission. It is a dry, likely differentiated body with spectrum suggesting that is has been resurfaced by basaltic lava flows, not too different from the

Bio‐Inspired Molecular Events in Poly(Ionic Liquids)

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Originating from dipolar and polar inter‐ and intra‐chain interactions of the building blocks, the topologies and morphologies of poly(ionic liquids) (PIL) govern their nano‐ and micro‐processibility. Modulating the interactions of cation‐anion pairs with aliphatic dipolar components enables the tunability of properties, facilitated by “bottom‐up ...

Effects of CaCO3 surface modification and water spraying on the weathering properties of PBAT/CaCO3 films

open access: yesPolymer Testing, 2021
Poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) is considered as the most promising polymers for preparing biodegradable mulching films. However, PBAT films are suffered to severe weathering in use. This study aims to look into the effects of high amounts

Geoengineering potential of artificially enhanced silicate weathering of olivine [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010
Geoengineering is a proposed action to manipulate Earth’s climate in order to counteract global warming from anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. We investigate the potential of a specific geoengineering technique, carbon sequestration by artificially enhanced silicate weathering via the dissolution of olivine.

Optimization of the bi-oleothermal treatment process for wood preservation and fireproofing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The bi-oleothermal© process (combination of oil and heat treatment) is a well mastered alternative method for wood protection. However, the fire behavior and resistance to decay of bi-oleothermally treated wood are not good enough to ensure performance ...
