Dissolution of diopside-bearing slag and its amorphous counterpart was investigated to decipher recovery potential these slags. The contribution direct phase dissolution using a biotic solution with Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans versus sterile growth medium, whereas citric acid applied demonstrate slags in organic medium. Potential metal donor phases easily released elements were identified by ...

The inclusion of small amounts copper is often reported to enhance the mechanical and biointegrative performance bioceramics towards tissue engineering applications. In this work, 3D scaffolds were additively manufactured by robocasting precipitation derived doped diopside. Compositions chosen in which magnesium sites diopside substituted up 3 at.%. Microstructure, performance, bioactivity, bio...

Abstract Almahata Sitta is a polymict breccia, consisting of many kinds clasts. Here we present our mineralogical and petrological results on an EL3 fragment, MS-177 from Sitta. This fragment shows typical type 3 chondritic texture, well-defined chondrules, isolated silicate minerals, opaque nodules. Most chondrules are enstatite-rich with some having olivine. Although these components chondrit...
