Specific ion effects (SIE), encompassing the Hofmeister Series, have been known for more
than 130 years since Hofmeister and Lewith's foundational work. SIEs are ubiquitous and …

Interfacial reactions drive all elemental cycling on Earth and play pivotal roles in human
activities such as agriculture, water purification, energy production and storage …

Ions differ in their ability to salt out proteins from solution as expressed in the lyotropic or
Hofmeister series of cations and anions. Since its first formulation in 1888, this series has …

Following up on scattered reports on interactions of conventional chaotropic ions (for
example, I−, SCN−, ClO4−) with macrocyclic host molecules, biomolecules, and …

Crude oil emulsions are commonly encountered in oilfield-related industries. Some of these
emulsions are formed in-situ during the tertiary enhanced oil recovery process. Additionally …
