Experimental study of amorphous silicate formation

open access: yes, 2003
Broad infrared bands at 10 and 18 μm have often been observed around oxygen-rich evolved stars, and these are thought to arise from amorphous silicate dust grains.

Heterogeneous Exhumation Mechanisms in Neoproterozoic Collisional Metamorphism: P–T Constraints From Pelotas and Punta del Este Terranes, Southern Brazil and Uruguay

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
Petrography, thermobarometry, and pseudosection modelling reveal peak metamorphic conditions of 3–7.5 kbar and 520°C–800°C in Tonian‐Cryogenian orthogneisses of the Dom Feliciano Belt. Metamorphic field gradients of 27°C/km–39°C/km and variable exhumation mechanisms support correlation of these units as remnants of a Himalayan‐type Piratini Orogeny ...

A Steep-extinction Quasi-stellar Object at z = 4.6: JWST Evidence for Abundant Small Dust Grains

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
The rapid accumulation of massive dust reservoirs in the early Universe remains a major challenge in astrophysics. While core-collapse supernovae can inject large dust grains ( a  ≳ 0.1 μ m) on short timescales, explaining the total dust budgets in the ...

Ferrous silicate spherules with euhedral iron-nickel metal grains from CH carbonaceous chondrites: Evidence for supercooling and condensation under oxidizing conditions

open access: yes
The CH carbonaceous chondrites contain a population of ferrous (Fe/(Fe + Mg) approximate to 0.1-0.4) silicate spherules (chondrules), about 15-30 mum in apparent diameter, composed of cryptocrystalline olivine-pyroxene normative material, +/-SiO2-rich ...

Bryozoan‐Rich Carbonate Units of the Erfoud Area (SE Morocco) Record Latest Katian to Early Hirnantian Interglacial Intervals

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
In this study, we re‐examine the depositional architecture of the Erfoud limestone in Morocco. Introducing new biostratigraphic constraints from chitinozoan assemblages, we show that Katian to Hirnantian bryozoan‐pelmatozoan meadows reflect flooding events linked to a series of interglacial transgressions known to have occurred immediately prior to the

CO2 Infrared Spectra on Silicate Dust Grain Analogs: Implications for JWST Observations

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
Carbon dioxide is one of the three most abundant species within the ice mantles around dust grains inside molecular clouds. Since a substantial number of interstellar grains are made of siliceous materials, we have studied the infrared profile of CO _2 ...

Iron‐modified natural sand as a heterogeneous Fenton catalyst for methylene blue and textile wastewater treatment

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND The continuous discharge of organic dyes into freshwater poses long‐term environmental risks. Heterogeneous Fenton‐like processes using iron (Fe)‐modified silica (SiO2) supports are promising for dye removal; however, catalysts derived from natural sand and operating under near‐neutral conditions remain relatively underexplored ...

Plant Availability of Phosphorus From Sewage Sludge Ash‐Based Fertilizers and Its Relationship to Phosphorus Extractability

open access: yesJournal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Sewage sludge ash (SSA) is a potential phosphorus (P) source for fertilizers, but untreated SSA (USSA) often shows low plant availability of P. To increase P availability, sodium additives can be applied before sewage sludge incineration or during thermochemical SSA posttreatment, as this leads to the formation of CaNaPO4.

Ngarrawa (mound spring) sediments as archives of Holocene environmental change in arid central Australia: Insights from Itrax XRF scanning

open access: yesJournal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Central Australia's ngarrawa, or ‘mound springs’, are unique hydrological systems that serve as some of the only near‐permanent sources of water and continuous sediment deposition in Australia's arid interior. As such, they hold significant potential as palaeo‐climate and ‐environmental archives in a region where many aspects of past climate ...

Investigating Silicate, Carbon, and Water in the Diffuse Interstellar Medium: The First Shots from WISCI

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
The dusty interstellar medium (ISM) of the Milky Way is distributed in a complex, cloudy structure. It is fundamental to the radiation balance within the Milky Way, provides a reaction surface to form complex molecules, and is the feedstock for future ...
