This book provides a description of the generalized two layer surface complexation model,
data treatment procedures, and thermodynamic constants for sorption of metal cations and …

Limonite ore is a potentially important iron resource and widely distributed in the world.
However, it is difficult to process by traditional methods due to the high water content and …

Porous structures based on aluminum oxide-hydroxide (Al 2 O 3-Al (OH) 3) show high
refractoriness. Regarding their use as thermal insulators, the preparation of aqueous …

Mullite formation from kaolinite was studied by means of high-temperature in situ powder
neutron diffraction by heating from room temperature up to 1370° C. Neutron diffractometry …

Aluminum hydrate dehydration interfaces were studied using a van der Waals density
functional. The interface configurations investigated here as a first exploration of possible …

Canister integrity and radionuclides retention is of prime importance for assessing the long
term safety of nuclear waste stored in engineered geologic depositories. A comparative …

Dehydration reactions and the corresponding kinetics of gibbsite [γ-Al (OH) 3] were
analyzed using non-isothermal thermoanalysis and the Kissinger equation. It is concluded …

Geopolymers have been studied as viable alternative to traditional Portland cement‐based
products, given the use of industrial by‐products as raw materials. This work evaluated the …

An in-depth investigation of pore structure evolution and corresponding fracture behavior of
calcium aluminate cement (CAC) bonded alumina-spinel castables treated at 110–1600° C …

Aluminum hydroxides were synthesized through the acidification of sodium aluminate
solution using single organic diester or diacid as pH adjustor and aluminum chelating agent …
