  2. 1. Thin water and ice films on minerals : a molecular level study

    Author : Merve Yeşilbaş; Jean-François Boily; Johannes Messinger; Grégory Lefèvre; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; water; ice; cryosalt; minerals; rocks; atmosphere; Dynamic Vapour Sorption; FTIR; cryo-FESEM; fysikalisk kemi; Physical Chemistry;

    Abstract : Minerals in Earth’s crust and suspended in the atmosphere form water or ice films as thin as a few nanometers to as thick as a few micrometers, and beyond. Mineral-bound water and ice films in terrestrial systems (e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. Minerals and Managers: : production contexts as evidence for social organization in Zimbabwean prehistory

    Author : Lorraine Swan; Paul Sinclair; Eva Hjärthner-Holdar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Archaeology; Zimbabwean past; farming communities; environment; mineral resources; mineral production; social organization; social change; Arkeologi;

    Abstract : In the Zimbabwean past, farming societies utilized mineral resources for their own use and for exchange to local and regional populations, as well as to markets beyond African borders. Successful agriculture was constrained by environmental hazards, principally unpredictable and often inadequate rainfall. READ MORE

    Abstract : Fluoride (F-) concentration in drinking water is one of the water quality parameters in countries with high concentrations in groundwater sources. Natural minerals have shown considerable effectiveness in F- removal. READ MORE

  6. 4. Molecular-level controls on water and organics intercalation in layered minerals

    Author : Jerry Lindholm; Michael Holmboe; Jean-Francois Boily; Virginie Marry; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Minerals; Dynamic Vapor Sorption; montmorillonite; XRD; adsorption model; intercalation;

    Abstract : Layered minerals are naturally abundant and often display a large surface area in relation to their weight. For swelling layered minerals, most of this area is contained between the layers in the interlayer space. READ MORE

  7. 5. Flotation of silicate minerals : physico-chemical studies in the presence of alkylamines and mixed (cationic/anionic/non-ionic) collectors

    Author : Vidyadhar Ari; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Mineralteknik; Mineral Processing;

    Abstract : The mechanism of adsorption of long chain alkyl primary amines and, co-adsorption of amines and alcohols on silicate minerals (quartz and feldspar) were studied using FTIR (DRIFT and IRRAS) and XPS spectroscopy methods. The spectroscopy data were correlated with zeta-potential and Hallimond flotation results. READ MORE
