Massive and ambitious underground space development projects are being undertaken by
many countries around the world to decongest megacities, improve the urban landscapes …

Trace elements are actively cycled in seawater, are essential components for marine life,
and are transported to the seafloor where they can become enriched in marine sediments …

This review discusses modern developments in CO 2 surface chemistry by focusing on the
work published since the original review by HJ Freund and MW Roberts two decades ago …

The deep geological disposal concept is widely accepted by the scientific community for the
storage of high activity level nuclear waste. It uses a multi-barrier system to isolate …

Surface reactions on calcite play an important role in geochemical and environmental
systems, as well as many areas of industry. In this review, we present investigations of …

Coprecipitation of selenium oxyanions with barite is a facile way to sequester Se in the
environments. However, the chemical composition of Se-barite coprecipitates usually …

Calcite is the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) under ambient
conditions and is ubiquitous in natural systems. It plays a major role in controlling pH in …

Trace elements are widely used to constrain environmental conditions and biogeochemical
processes through geologic time. Authigenic carbonates in particular are a reliable archive …

Calcium carbonates such as calcite are the dominant hosts of inorganic iodine in nature and
are potentially important for the retention and removal of radioactive iodine isotopes (129 I …

While naturally found in trace quantities, several regions throughout the world have been
designated as “seleniferous” or containing an overabundance of the trace element …
