Organic ligand complexation reactions at the mineral-water interface play an important role in several environmental and geochemical processes such as adsorption, dissolution, precipitation, pollutant transport, nutrient cycling, and colloidal stability. Although organic ligand …

Accurate prediction of long-term moisture expansion in fired clay ceramics requires finding a relationship between the reactivity of a ceramic material with moisture and time. Recently a (time)1/4 law has been proposed which provides a precise relationship between moisture expan…

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effects of soluble salt concentration (i.e., salinity) on geotechnical characteristics and sedimentation behavior of fine-grained soils (e.g., mine tailings) and identify test methods applicable for characterizing high-saline soi…
