The description of the geochemical properties of the bentonite backfill that serves as engineered barrier for nuclear repositories is a central issue for performance assessment since these play a large role in determining the fate of contaminants released from the waste. In this study the porewater chemistry of bentonite was assessed with a thermodynamic modelling approach that includes ion exc...

Lithium ion batteries have been one of the major power supplies for small electronic devices since the last century. However, with the rapid advancement of electronics and the increasing demand for clean sustainable energy, newer lithium ion batteries with higher energy density, higher power density, and better cyclic stability are needed. In addition, newer generations of lithium ion batteries...

Correct interpretation of mass spectra is essential to our understanding of the ion chemistry occurring in the gas phase inside mass spectrometers and for constructing a solid knowledge from which mass spectrometry (MS) data of novel molecules will be interpreted. Assignments of product ions leading to incorrect dissociation mechanisms can also be dangerous in several disciplines such as in for...

The study determines the major ion chemistry of Teesta River catchment in Eastern Himalayan region and evaluates hydrochemical processes controlling water composition area. Water basin was neutral to alkaline condition. HCO3−, Ca2+, Na+, Mg2+ SO42- were identified as dominant ionic species Ca-Mg-HCO3 facies. Higher contribution (Ca2++Mg2+) HCO3− towards TZ+ TZ−, high ratios (Ca2++Mg2+)/(Na++K+)...
