Haze related air pollution has become one of major environmental concerns in some Asian countries. Sulfate is a main component ambient particulate matter (PM) the urban environment during haze episodes. Among pollutants, sulfur dioxide (SO2) an important precursor sulfate and new atmospheric particle formation. However, under different conditions its underlying formation mechanisms are not clea...

Aerosol particles can serve as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) to form cloud droplets, and its composition is a main factor governing whether an aerosol particle is an effective CCN. Pure mineral dust particles are poor CCN; however, changes in chemical composition of mineral dust aerosol particles, due to heterogeneous reactions with reactive trace gases in the troposphere, can modify their CC...

the core sediment samples were analysed for grain size, carbonates (caco3), organic carbon (oc) to obtain a preliminary view of its environmental conditions near point calimere along the southeast coast of vedaranyam, india.the high concentration of sand in the core is attributed to the tidal influence at the akkarapallivasal river mouth. the sea water which enters the river suspends the floccu...

Mineral scale deposition in near wellbore regions of injection wells is one of the main challengeable issues during the water injection process, which magnifies the importance of robust models in predicting the amount of mineral scale deposition such as calcium sulfate. One of the main challenges of CaSO4 scale is in carbonated reservoirs, in which sensitive behavior is observed in related to t...
