Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) with UV irradiation and photocatalyst titanium dioxide
(TiO 2) are gaining growing acceptance as an effective wastewater treatment method. A …

From synthetic drugs to biodegradable plastics to the origin of life, the chiral selection of
molecules presents both daunting challenges and significant opportunities in materials …

A new edition of a landmark volume which takes into account the vast amount of new
spectral data on minerals. The whole field will be covered systematically from theory to …

MANY geochemical processes, such as crystallization of silicate magmas or planetary
differentiation, require a knowledge of the way in which elements become partitioned …

Thermodynamic oxygen isotope factors for anhydrous silicate minerals have been
calculated by means of the modified increment method. The obtained order of 18 O …

The modified increment method has been applied to the calculation of oxygen isotope
fractionation factors for hydroxyl-bearing silicate minerals. The order of 18 O enrichment …

In order to model the behaviour of Zr, Hf, Ti, P, U, Th, Y and the rare-earth elements (REE) in
the continental crust, the parameters which control the equilibria between accessory …

Oxygen isotope fractionations involving carbonates and sulfates have been controversial for
a long time. There are important unresolved conflicts among the results of theoretical …

We present a quantitative model to describe the partitioning of rare earth elements (REE)
and Y between clinopyroxene and anhydrous silicate melt as a function of pressure (P) …

The biomineral component of bones and teeth is synthesized within the body, under direct
physiological control, and therefore the chemistry of bone (including the trace element …
