Continental flood basalts (CFB) are considered as potential CO2 storage sites because of their high reactivity and abundant divalent metal ions that can potentially trap carbon for geological timescales. Moreover, laterally extensive CFB are found in many place in the world within reasonable distances from major CO2 point emission sources.Based on the mineral and glass composition of the Columb...

In order to study the influence of nanomaterials on carbonation resistance marine concrete under bending loads, an appropriate amount nano-SiO2 was added plain concrete, and a self-developed box loading device were used conduct coupling test. Four different stress levels set measure depth nano-concrete at ages. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyze interfacial trans...

Experimental results are reported on the (Ca-looping) multicyclic CO2 capture of CaO and nanosilica/CaO composites derived from Ca(OH)2 and nanosilica/Ca(OH)2 dry mixtures subjected in-situ to linear and Constant Rate Thermal Analysis (CRTA) preheating programs in either air or air/CO2 atmospheres. By means of CRTA preheating the rates of the reactions taking place during pretreatment are kept ...

Flavour results from the integration of aroma, taste and chemosensory information within the brain. Understanding interactions between the anatomically separate systems which relay this information is crucial to our appreciation of how different aspects of food contribute to flavour perception and the formulation of successful products. To examine these interactions, a beverage system was creat...
