Ultralight large grain porous material - expanded obsidian [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2019
In the production of crushed stone, lithoidal pumice and perlite sand, it is advisable to separate and segregate the obsidian. Wherein, the separated obsidian is converted into production waste.

Spatially heterogeneous argon-isotope systematics and apparent 40Ar/39Ar ages in perlitised obsidian [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In situ laser ablation Ar-isotope analyses of variably hydrated and devitrified obsidian from the ~ 27 Ma Cochetopa Dome, San Juan, USA, reveal complex interplay between degassing of initial Ar and absorption of atmospheric Ar.

Strategies for obtaining obsidian in pre-European contact era New Zealand. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Archaeological evidence of people's choices regarding how they supply themselves with obsidian through direct access and different types of exchanges gives us insight in to mobility, social networks, and property rights in the distant past.

The unknown Oldowan. ~1.7-million-year-old standardized obsidian small tools from Garba IV, Melka Kunture, Ethiopia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The Oldowan Industrial Complex has long been thought to have been static, with limited internal variability, embracing techno-complexes essentially focused on small-to-medium flake production. The flakes were rarely modified by retouch to produce small

Energy Landscapes in Chemical Reactions and Transport

open access: yesChemPhysChem, Volume 26, Issue 6, March 15, 2025.
Kinetics/dynamics of chemical reactivity and transport of chemical species in a solid are both determined by the energy landscape in which they take place. Discussing common grounds but also distinct differences may help in advancing the understanding in both fields.

Chemical diffusion of fluorine in melts in the system Na2OAl2O3SiO2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1985
The volatilization of fluorine from three melts in the system Na2OAl2O3SiO2 has been investigated at 1 atm pressure and 1200–1400°C. The melts chosen have base compositions corresponding to albite, jadeite and a peraluminous melt with 75 mole % SiO2 ...

Challenges in dating blanket peat and implications for understanding its initiation in Ireland

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Blanket peat is widespread in maritime extra‐tropical environments. Prehistoric land‐use activity was traditionally invoked as the stimulus of blanket peat initiation in the British Isles, but recently, climate has been viewed as the driver of peat formation.

Chemical diffusion of fluorine in jadeite melt at high pressure [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
The chemical diffusion of fluorine in jadeite melt has been investigated from 10 to 15 kbars and 1200 to 1400°C using diffusion couples of Jadeite melt and fluorine-bearing jadeite melt (6.3 wt.% F). The diffusion profile data indicate that the diffusion
