Solubility and Structure of Calcium Silicate Hydrate

A poorly crystalline class of calcium silicate hydrates known as C–S–H possesses extensive disorder and structural variations at the nanometer scale. The extent of these variations has generally obscured a comprehensive understanding of the C–S–H nanostructure, but new relationships between solubility and structure appear to shed new light on this old problem. These relationships were inspired ...

Synthesis and application of Ti-incorporated mesoporous silicate in deep oxidesulfurization of DBT from liquid fuel

In-situ synthesis of Ti-incorporated MCM-41 nano catalyst was carried out by the hydrothermal method to prepare a mesoporous catalyst for the oxidative desulfurization reaction (ODS). Oxidative reaction of dibenzothiophene (DBT) as a heavy sulfur compound was evaluated in a solution of n-decane as a model of liquid fuel. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by XRD, FESEM, EDX, TEM, FTIR...

A New Look at Pt Solubility in Silicate Liquid

Introduction: Pt nuggets found in the silicate glass of solubility experiments at low fO2 may be the quench products of Pt in solution in silicate liquid, not mechanical contaminants. Pt solubilities measured in the range of geologically interesting fO2 would then be several orders of magnitude higher than conventionally assumed. Such a finding may remove the perception of "excess" Pt in Earth'...

HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF VANADIUM SILICATE MOLECULAR SIEVES WITH ANALCIME, MAGEDIITE AND ZSM-11 STRUCTURE

Vanadium silicates such as V-Al-analcime, V-analcime, V-magediite and V-ZSM-11 were synthesized using vanadium pentoxide or vanadyl sulfates. Vanadium silicates with analcime structure with and without aluminum (V-Al-analcime, V-analcime) were prepared as pure phase by hydrothermal crystallization from a gel with molar composition of (1 SiO2; 0.2 V2O5; 1 Na2O; 0.034 Al2O3; 35.7 H2O) and (1 SiO2...
