Combustion of wood produces particulate matter (PM) emissions having the potential to induce respiratory tract diseases in humans. To date, however, few, if any, in vitro submerse exposure adverse effect studies characterized the actual particle characteristics within the culture medium. Indeed, the availability of particles and adsorbed toxic compounds in liquids may depend on particle charact...

[1] Previous field-scale experimental data and numerical modeling suggest that the dual-domain mass transfer (DDMT) of electrolytic tracers has an observable geoelectrical signature. Here we present controlled laboratory experiments confirming the electrical signature of DDMT and demonstrate the use of time-lapse electrical measurements in conjunction with concentration measurements to estimate...

The porosity of a zone can be estimated either from a single “porosity log” (sonic, density, neutron, or magnetic resonance log) or a combination of porosity logs, in order to correct for variable lithology effects in complex reservoirs. In the carbonates, mineral mixtures are primarily drawn from calcite, dolomite, and quartz (either as sand grains or as chert); anhydrite and gypsum may also o...

To study the mechanical effect of clay under acidic and basic conditions, typical minerals, montmorillonite illite, were taken as main research objects in this study. The variation law mechanism cohesive force internal friction angle studied by immersing remoulded soil HNO 3 solution with pH = NaOH (alkaline waste liquid) 13.5, respectively. It was found that, a corrosion reaction between miner...

By Korzhinsky and Schrienemakers, methods, phase relations of Mn-Al-Ca-silicates and other minerals in highly oxidized quartzites and schists of blueschist type metamorphism have been discussed. Because, such rocks were extensively studied in central Shikoku of Japan and in Andros and Evvia islands of Greece, they have been considered as thermodynamic system for discussion. The system contains ...

Recently, we have reported studies of transport and sorption of heavy metal ions in watersaturated quartz sand columns under relatively fast water flow. In these experiments, clear indications for a fast and strong adsorption of the ions to the sediment could be found. Here we report the findings in a series of other experiments performed under static conditions. In this case, much higher conce...
