Weathering of sulphide minerals produces a large variety of Fe-oxide-bearing ochreous,
varicoloured precipitates and efflorescences of variably soluble sulphate salts. These …

Goethite is a commonly found iron (hydr) oxide in soils and sediments that has been proven
to possess abundant defects in structures. However, the underlying impact of these defects …

Iron-containing earth minerals of various hues were the earliest pigments of the prehistoric
artists who dwelled in caves. Being a prominent part of human expression through art …

Synthesized cement systems made with variable C 3 A/C 4 AF ratios, containing C 3 S,
gypsum and, optionally, calcite, were stored long-term at humid conditions at 5 or 20° C …

Nanoparticle properties can show marked departures from their bulk analog materials,
including large differences in chemical reactivity, molecular and electronic structure, and …

Copper is one of the most dangerous soil contaminants. Soils affected by high copper
concentrations show low biodiversity and, above all, inadequate environmental quality …

In this article, we describe the programs for instrument control, data acquisition, and analysis
developed to adapt a Scanning Magnetic Microscope for the Delta Mode technique. This …

The mineralogical and chemical evolution of ochreous precipitates forming from acid mine
drainage (AMD) from the abandoned Libiola Fe–Cu-sulfide mine (Eastern Liguria, Italy) was …

In the present paper, the adsorption of cysteine on hematite, magnetite and ferrihydrite was
studied using FT-IR, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), Mössbauer spectroscopy and …

In this work, we investigated a 3 ha sulphide-bearing waste-rock dump (Libiola Mine, Italy)
using mineralogical, geochemical, and geostatistical analyses. The dumped materials were …
