Corrosion of Potential Canister Materials During Oxic to Anoxic Transient in Compacted Bentonite

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
A comprehensive analytical approach was applied to investigate material degradation phenomena of cast iron and copper as potential canister materials for the safe disposal of high‐level radioactive waste, as well as compacted bentonite exposed to artificial water relevant for disposal. ABSTRACT The long‐term performance of the engineered barrier system

Particle‐Scale Mechanics of a Regolith‐Type Soil

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The existing studies have reported that the surface of Mars shows the presence of materials having igneous origin, including basalt and regolith‐type coarse soils. These findings are affected by significant uncertainties and, therefore, the selection of simulants for various exploration applications, including surface mobility of rovers ...

Time-resolved luminescence from feldspars: New insight into fading

, 2006
Time-resolved infrared optically stimulated luminescence (IR-OSL) signals of K- and Na-feldspar samples extracted from sediments were measured in UV, blue and red detection windows, using a fast photon counter and pulsed IR stimulation (lambda = 875 nm).

From Waste to Value: A Data‐Driven Framework for Sustainable Raw Materials Substitution in the Ceramic Industry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With increasing geopolitical risks, environmental pressures, and regulatory demands, the sustainable sourcing of raw materials has become a global priority for achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG

Prospects of Eliminating Fluorspar Consumption in a Sustainable Argon‐Oxygen‐Decarburization Process

steel research international, EarlyView.
This study aims at identifying pathways for eliminating fluorspar consumption in the argon‐oxygen‐decarburization (AOD) process. Thermodynamic calculations suggest the feasibility of completely replacing fluorspar with alternative fluxes such as Al2O3, Na2O, K2O, and Li2O of suitable amounts.

Integrated Alpha–Gamma Radiation Exposure From Natural Radionuclides in Cement and Gypsum Production: Implications for Occupational Lung Cancer Risk

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural radionuclides in cement and gypsum production materials pose significant risks of occupational radiation exposure that are not well documented in Iraqi Kurdistan. This study quantifies alpha and gamma radiation levels from naturally occurring radioactive materials, specifically 222Rn, 238U, 232Th, and 40K, in cement and gypsum samples ...

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Mortars From Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto: Materials, Formulations, and Technology

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents an archaeometric investigation of 18 hydraulic rendering and bedding mortars from Punic and Hellenistic–Roman Solunto (NW Sicily). The research aimed to characterize raw materials, reconstruct manufacturing sequences, and evaluate technological proficiency through mineralogical and petrochemical analyses.
