In this study, lithium extraction from a Li-rich kaolin is performed by roasting with Na 2 SO 4
and water leaching. The thermal analysis of the Li-rich kaolin is characterized by TGA and …

We observed the growth of salt crystals in sulfate saline soil solution during evaporation at
constant relative humidity and temperature and studied the formation mechanism of soil …

We report on the crystallization behavior and the salt weathering potential in natural rock
and porous stone of single salts (NaNO 3, Na 2 SO 4) and salt mixtures in the ternary NaNO …

Salt crystallization is an aggressive weathering mechanism affecting porous building
materials. The extensive use of Portland cement, a source of alkalis, in modern buildings …

Spontaneous combustion disasters occur in coal seams worldwide. Under high-temperature
baking by a coal fire, surrounding rocks are metamorphosed to form combustion …

Jarosite sludge coming from the hydrometallurgical zinc production route is a hazardous
material, which is currently neutralized and landfilled by the so-called Jarofix® process. The …

Sodium sulfate is known as one of the most destructive salts causing weathering. Many
experiments on accelerated weathering tests show that major deterioration effects by …

Cliffs along the Isotake coast, Shimane, Japan, have two types of distinctive surfaces with
different colours, with tafoni and without tafoni, even though they consist of the same …

Jarosite and blast furnace sludge (BFS) are two of the main wastes from hydrometallurgical
zinc production and iron production by blast furnace, respectively. Jarosite is a hazardous …

Salt damage is one of the most common and serious diseases in silicate cultural relics. In
this research, low-field nuclear magnetic resonance (low-field NMR), automatic high-speed …
