Organic chemical signatures of New Zealand carbonate concretions and calcite fracture fills as potential fluid migration indicators [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Macroscopic calcite crystals are common in sedimenta¬ry strata, occurring both as tectonic veins and also filling one or more generations of septarian rupture or later brittle fractures in calcareous concretions.

Physical Origin of Temperature Induced Activation Energy Switching in Electrically Conductive Cement

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The temperature‐induced Arrhenius activation energy switching phenomenon of electrical conduction in electrically conductive cement originates from structural degradation within the biphasic ionic‐electronic conduction architecture and shows percolation‐governed characteristics: pore network opening dominates the low‐percolation regime with downward ...

Amphibalanus amphitrite begins exoskeleton mineralization within 48 hours of metamorphosis

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2020
Barnacles are ancient arthropods that, as adults, are surrounded by a hard, mineralized, outer shell that the organism produces for protection. While extensive research has been conducted on the glue-like cement that barnacles use to adhere to surfaces ...

Coagulated Mineral Adsorbents for Dye Removal, and Their Process Intensification Using an Agitated Tubular Reactor (ATR)

open access: yesChemEngineering, 2021
The aim of this study was to understand the efficacy of widely available minerals as dual-function adsorbers and weighter materials, for the removal of toxic azo-type textile dyes when combined with coprecipitation processes. Specifically, the adsorption

Investigation of the interaction of water with the calcite {1014} surface using ab-initio simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Density functional theory calculations were employed to explore the interaction between water and the {1014} surface of calcite. In addition a defective {1014} surface and stepped surfaces in contact with water were investigated.

A Supramolecular Thermal Switch for Precision Pyroptosis via Host−Guest Recognition and Electrostatic Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A supramolecular pyroptotic thermal switch encapsulates I3− within β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) and undergoes CaCO3 mineralization. Upon lysosomal acidification, CaCO3 is degraded, releasing Ca2+ and I3−. Concurrently, BODIPY activation converts I3− into I2, inducing oxidative stress and Ca2+ overload, which together trigger caspase‐3/GSDME‐mediated ...

The Problem of Formation Destruction in Carbon Dioxide Storage: A Microscopic Model

open access: yesAlgorithms
In the context of the current global transition toward low-carbon energy, the issue of CO2 utilization has become increasingly important. One of the most promising natural targets for CO2 sequestration is the terrigenous sedimentary formations found in ...

Protease‐Triggered Chromogenic Release From Peptide‐Modified Calcium Carbonate Microspheres Enables Colorimetric Detection of Porphyromonas gingivalis Activity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a chromogenic release‐based assay system with protease‐cleavage peptide‐modified calcium carbonate microspheres for colorimetric detection of Porphyromonas (P.) gingivalis activity. In response to Arg‐specific gingipain secreted by P. gingivalis, the supernatant becomes colored, enabling colorimetric analysis and providing the monitoring of ...

Characterization of a complex carbonate-silicate apatite ore and its concentration by a two-stage anionic flotation method

open access: yesREM: International Engineering Journal, 2022
A carbonate-silicate low weathering phosphate ore from an igneous origin deposit in Southeastern Brazil presents a challenge mainly for apatite flotation from its gangue minerals, calcite and dolomite, plus the presence of phlogopite, diopside, magnetite,
