Vitrification is a well-established waste treatment method that has been used for silicate based wastes to achieve waste volume reduction and improve chemical stability before further use. However, the poor mechanical strength of the vitrified products has led to a low commercia…
In biotechnology and drug delivery silica materials are of interest but the controlled generation of silicic acid is difficult. To get more insight into the molecular mechanisms that control biosilification, it is important to study the proteins involved in this process. The spo…
Pyrrhotite and pyrite commonly contain minor quantities of cobalt, nickel, arsenic and other trace elements, which reflect major effects of source lithology and fluid chemistry, and subordinate effects relating to local processes. Electron probe micro-analyses (EPMA) of silicate…
Volume 32 of Reviews in Mineralogy introduces the basic concepts of melt physics and relaxation theory as applied to silicate melts, then to describe the current state of experimental and computer simulation techniques for exploring the detailed atomic structure and dynamic proc…
The Mineralogical Society of America sponsored a short course for which this was the text at Stanford University December 9 and 10, 1995, preceding the Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union and MSA in San Fransisco, with about 100 professionals and graduate students in …
