A number of organisms produce crystalline calcium carbonate via a metastable precursor
phase termed amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC). ACC also forms during production of …

The structure and the strength of organic compound adsorption on mineral surfaces are of
interest for a number of industrial and environmental applications, oil recovery, CO2 storage …

Macromolecular binding to minerals is of great importance in the formation of biofilms, and
carboxylate functional groups have been found to play a pivotal role in the functioning of …

Acid leaching of ultramafic rocks to produce Mg 2+-and Ca 2+-rich solutions for mineral
carbonation may inadvertently leach toxic trace metals. This study investigates the capacity …

The biological mediation of mineral formation (biomineralization) is realized through diverse
organic macromolecules that guide this process in a spatial and temporal manner. Although …

X-ray computed tomography data from chalk drill cuttings were taken over a series of voxel
dimensions, ranging from 320 to 25 nm. From these data sets, standard petrophysical …

Aluminum hydroxide adjuvants are widely used in human vaccines, such as diphtheria,
tetanus, hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines. The adsorption of antigens on aluminum …

Understanding the complex and dynamic nature of calcite surfaces under ambient
conditions is important for optimizing industrial applications. It is essential to identify …

Radium-224-labeled CaCO3 microparticles have been developed to treat peritoneal
carcinomatosis. The microparticles function as carriers of 224Ra, facilitating intraperitoneal …

We design four-group experiments to understand the morphological and orientational
diversity of LiFePO4 crystallites in hydrothermal and/or solvothermal syntheses. In the …
