This study evaluates the on use of crushed rocks (remineralizers) to increase soil fertility levels and which contributed agricultural productivity, recovery degraded areas, decontamination water, carbon sequestration. The these geological materials is part assumptions rock technology and, indirectly, facilitates achievement sustainable development goals related management, climate change, pres...

Using the data of the CAMREX project (1982–1984) on the water geochemistry of the Amazon river and its main tributaries, it was possible to assess the silicate rock weathering processes and the associated consumption of atmospheric/soil CO2, taking into account seasonal and spatial variations. This study confirms the important role of the Andes in the fluvial transport of dissolved and particul...

About half of the IIE nonmagmatic iron meteorites contain silicate inclusions with a primitive to differentiated nature. The presence of preserved chondrules has been reported for two IIE meteorites so far, Netscha€evo and Mont Dieu, which represent the most primitive silicate material within this group. In this study, silicate inclusions from two samples of Netscha€evo were examined. Both sili...

New velocity data in addition to literature data derived from sonic log, seismic, and laboratory measurements are analyzed for elastic silicate rocks. These data demonstrate simple systematic relationships between compressional and shear wave velocities. For water-saturated elastic silicate rocks, shear wave velocity is approximately linearly related to compressional wave velocity and the compr...

Plagioclase feldspar, clinopyroxene, and ilmenite in a polished thin section of a type A crystalline rock were analyzed. The clinopyroxene grains are compositionally variable, and both high Ca and low Ca phases are present. The plagioclase is compositionally homogeneous. The ilmenite is chemically homogeneous except for occasional, small areas of high local chromium concentration. Accessory min...

Experimental research was conducted to study the fire resistance of steel tubular columns used in prefabricated and modular construction. In order to achieve high-efficient prefabrication and fast on-site installation, membrane protections using board products and thermal insulation blankets are adopted as the favorable protection method. Three protected tubular columns were tested in a full-sc...

Diamond formation has typically been attributed to redox reactions during precipitation from fluids or magmas. Either the oxidation of methane or the reduction of carbon dioxide has been suggested, based on simplistic models of deep fluids consisting of mixtures of dissolved neutral gas molecules without consideration of aqueous ions. The role of pH changes associated with water-silicate rock i...
