Physical and chemical characterization of recycled glass sand for environmental restoration
Abstract Introduction We rely on coastal resources for food, water, and energy. However, over 75% of U.S. coastlines are eroding. Concurrently, the U.S. recycles less glass than other developed countries, landfilling hundreds of millions of tons every year.

ABSTRACT A simple, robust and cost‐effective analytical methodology was developed for the determination of niobium in highly refractory materials: Nb‐doped gadolinium zirconate (Gd2Zr2O7:Nb) and niobium pentoxide (Nb2O5). The challenge of digesting these matrices was successfully accomplished by establishing two independent dissolution procedures: (i ...
