Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

A chrome-free combination tanning strategy: based on silicic acid and plant tannin
Silicic acid, commonly derived from cheap and easily available sodium silicate, has recently received great attention for application in leather industry to produce ecological leather with a cleaner approach.

Silica cycling in the ultra-oligotrophic eastern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
Although silica is a key plant nutrient, there have been few studies aimed at understanding the Si cycle in the eastern Mediterranean Sea (EMS). Here we use a combination of new measurements and literature values to explain the silicic acid distribution ...

Fine defective structure of silicon carbide powders obtained from different starting materials [PDF]
The fine defective structure of silicon carbide powders obtained from silicic acid-saccharose, aerosil-saccharose, aerosil-carbon black, and hydrated cellulose-silicic acid gel systems was investigated.

Using silicon isotopes to understand the role of the Southern Ocean in modern and ancient biogeochemistry and climate [PDF]
The growth of siliceous phytoplankton, mainly diatoms, in the Southern Ocean influences the preformed nutrient inventory in the ocean on a global scale.

Selective removal of silicic acid by a gallic-acid modified resin
To remove silicic acid from aqueous solutions, a novel gallic acid-type resin (GA-type resin) was prepared by a grafting method. The effects of the adsorption capacity, pH and presence of NaCl, NaNO3, Na2SO4, and NaCO3 salts on the silicic acid removal ...

Did silicon aid in the establishment of the first bacterium? [PDF]
Silicic acid increased numbers of both aerobic and facultatively anaerobic bacteria in ultrapure water incubated under strict oligotrophic conditions; soil extracts acted as the bacterial inoculum. The results are discussed in relation to the possibility

Biogenic silica production and diatom dynamics in the Svalbard region during spring [PDF]
Diatoms are generally the dominant contributors to the Arctic Ocean spring bloom, which is a key event in regional food webs in terms of capacity for secondary production and organic matter export.
