Determining the Surface Structure of Silicated Alumina Catalysts via Isotopic Enrichment and Dynamic Nuclear Polarization Surface-Enhanced NMR Spectroscopy

David Lyndon Emsley, Brennan James Walder, Jasmine Viger-Gravel

Isotopic enrichment of Si-29 and DNP-enhanced NMR spectroscopy are combined to determine the detailed surface structure of a silicated alumina catalyst. The significant sensitivity enhancement provided by DNP is vital to the acquisition of multinuclear and ...

Scaling of dissolved organic carbon removal in river networks

Enrico Bertuzzo, Tom Ian Battin

Streams and rivers play a major role in the global carbon cycle as they collect, transform and deliver terrestrial organic carbon to the ocean. The rate of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) removal depends on hydrological factors (primarily water depth and re ...

Biogenic non-crystalline U(IV) revealed as major component in uranium ore deposits

Rizlan Bernier-Latmani

Historically, it is believed that crystalline uraninite, produced via the abiotic reduction of hexavalent uranium (U-(VI)) is the dominant reduced U species formed in low-temperature uranium roll-front ore deposits. Here we show that non-crystalline U-(IV) ...

Are flood-driven turbidity currents hot spots for priming effect in lakes?

Damien Bouffard

In deep stratified lakes, such as Lake Geneva, flood-driven turbidity currents are thought to contribute to the replenishment of deep oxygen by significant transport of river waters saturated with oxygen into the hypolimnion. The overarching aim of this st ...

Influence of calcium to silica ratio on aluminium uptake in calcium silicate hydrate

Karen Scrivener, Émilie Michèle L'Hôpital

Aluminium uptake in calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) was studied at different Ca/Si ratios from 0.6 to 1.6 at 20 degrees C. Aluminium incorporation in C-S-H depends on the total amount of aluminium present in the sample. At low Al/Si ratio (
