A multitude of natural processes and technical applications require our ability to provide a
reliable prediction of crystal surface reactivity. During the last decades, the detailed analysis …

The contents of this monograph are two-scope. First, it intends to provide a synthetic but
complete account of the thermodynamic and kinetic foundations on which the reaction path …

This review covers a wide range of surface analytical techniques: X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS), scanning photoelectron microscopy (SPEM), photoemission electron …

Magnesite growth rates and step velocities have been measured systematically as a
function of temperature from 80 to 105° C and saturation state in 0.1 M NaCl solutions using …

Selective leaching kinetics of calcareous phosphate rock in succinic acid solution was
investigated. Using a known particle size range of the sample, liquid/solid ratio and acid …

Reactive properties of carbonate minerals and rocks attract a significant attention with
regard to modern environmental and industrial problems, including geologic carbon …

The dissolution of siderite (FeCO3) and rhodochrosite (MnCO3) under oxic and anoxic
conditions is investigated at 298 K. The anoxic dissolution rate of siderite is 10− 8.65 mol m …

We present evidence of inhibition of calcite dissolution by dissolved magnesium through
direct observations of the (104) surface using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and vertical …

Organic and inorganic hybrid perovskites have attracted significant attentions due to their
impressive optoelectronic properties. MAPbBr 3, one of the most popular members in …

Aqueous solutions equilibrated with supercritical CO2 (150° C and total pressure of 150bar)
were investigated in order to characterize their respective conditions of carbonation …
