Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are key components of sustainable, low
carbon cements. To maximize their use in blended cements, the impact of SCMs on cement …

Minerals and organic matter (OM) may form intricate associations via myriad interactions. In
soils, the associations of OM with mineral surfaces are mainly investigated because of their …

The soil microbial carbon pump (MCP) conceptualizes a sequestration mechanism based
on the process of microbial production of a set of new organic compounds, which carry the …

Vibrational spectroscopy techniques provide a powerful approach to the study of
environmental materials and processes. These multifunctional analytical tools can be used …

Systems at the surface of the Earth are continually responding to energy inputs derived
ultimately from radiation from the Sun or from the radiogenic heat in the interior. These …

Focusing on layered compounds at the core of materials intercalation chemistry, this
reference comprehensively explores clays and other classes of materials exhibiting the …

Crystalline surfaces of common rock-forming minerals are likely to have played several
important roles in life's geochemical origins. Transition metal sulfides and oxides promote a …

The rates of mineral dissolution contribute to processes controlling soil fertility, porosity in
aquifers and oil reservoirs, transport and sequestration of contaminants and CO 2, cycling of …

Citric acid plays an important role as a stabilizer in several nanomaterial syntheses and is a
common organic acid found in nature. Here, the adsorption of citric acid onto TiO2 anatase …

The sorption behaviour of vermiculite has been studied with respect to cadmium, copper,
lead, manganese, nickel, and zinc as a function of pH and in the presence of different …
