Metamorphic index mineral zones, pressure– temperature (P–T) conditions, and CO2–H2O fluid compositions were determined for metacarbonate layers within the Wepawaug Schist, Connecticut, USA. Peak metamorphic conditions were attained in the Acadian orogeny and increase from 420 C and 6.5 kb in the low-grade greenschist facies to 610 C and 9.5 kb in the amphibolite facies. The index minerals olig...

Ceramic bricks based on low-melting clay and ferro-dust from self-disintegrating, low-carbon, ferrochrome slags, graded M100 to M175, respectively, were obtained in the temperature range 950 – 1100°C. The highest grades are fired at temperatures 1050 1100°C, M150 which can be used as earthquake-resistant. Studies have shown that hematite, wollastonite, diopside a liquid phase appear brick firin...

The weathering of primary silicates, and their carbonation in particular, is key for the geochemical cycling elements, strongly affecting C cycle long-term regulation Earth's climate. knowledge on controlling factors mechanisms aqueous silicates however still far from complete. This precludes a better understanding chemical nature strong handicap to implement effective Carbon Capture Storage (C...

Fe-rich alkali-activated materials have been studied for their suitability high-temperature application up to 1000 °C. The evolution of compressive strength, mineral composition and microstructure was monitored using FT-IR, XRD, TGA SEM-WDS the pastes mortars obtained by alkali activation fayalite wüstite non-ferrous slags. For both binders, changes in strength revealed moderate fluctuations be...
