Silicate weathering is critical to global carbon cycle and climate change, and has attracted
considerable attention in Earth science studies. Chemical weathering intensity evaluation …

Clay minerals are naturally occurring rock and soil materials primarily composed of fine-
grained aluminosilicate minerals, characterized by high hygroscopicity. In animal …

Mortars are cement-based materials used mainly to coat and settle construction blocks. In
addition to cement, their composition usually includes hydrated lime, sand, and water. The …

The construction process of earth pressure balance shield (EPBS) generates a large amount
of shield slag. In China, the conventional methods for treating shield slag involve crude …

A new electrode based on carbon paste (CP) modified with natural clay was used for heavy

The soil freezing characteristic curve (SFCC) represents the constitutive relationship
between sub‐zero temperature and unfrozen water content in soil. It governs the hydrologic …

Advanced oxidation process of the water organic contaminants is among the promising
technologies for water purification. In this work, ZnO nanoparticles have been supported on …

With regard to the differences between soil particle size distribution (PSD) obtained by sieve-
sedimentation methods (SSMs), eg, the sieve-pipette method (SPM) and the laser diffraction …

Hydrogen (H2) energy is produced by electrochemically splitting water molecules, and if
produced economically, it will bring a paradigm shift in the development of sustainable …

The study investigated molecular mechanisms of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
on a surfactant modified clay (SMC), which rivals or exceeds the performance of granular …
