The partitioning (or sorption) of trace elements from aqueous solutions onto mineral surfaces
and natural organic matter (NOM) has played a major role in determining the trace element …

Raman spectrometry has received attention for the past 3 decades in its application to the
characterisation of pure cement phases, white and grey cements. Various configurations of …

Aluminum alloys play an important role in circular metallurgy due to their good recyclability
and 95% energy gain when made from scrap. Their low density and high strength translate …

The physical and chemical properties of the hydrated α-Al2O3 (0001) surface are important
for understanding the reactivity of natural and synthetic aluminum-containing oxides. The …

In this study, transmission FT-IR spectroscopy is used to investigate the adsorption of water
on aluminum oxide surfaces, including both single-crystal and particle surfaces. The FT-IR …

We investigated the As (III) and As (V) adsorption complexes forming at the γ-Al2O3/water
interface as a function of pH and ionic strength (I), using a combination of adsorption …

The coordination and speciation of selenate (SeO4) and sulfate (SO4) on goethite and Al
oxide were studied using Raman and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy. Raman spectra were …

The stability of γ-alumina suspensions in water has been investigated by long-duration
experiments (1 day to 6 months). Several complementary methods were used to …

The increasing alarm of global warming always draws interest in reactions like dry reforming
of methane (DRM) where both global warming gases (CO 2 and CH 4) are converted into …

Raman spectroscopy has been used to follow the hydration of one of the principal
components of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) clinkers, tricalcium aluminate, both in the …
