Measuring coral calcification under ocean acidification: methodological considerations for the 45Ca-uptake and total alkalinity anomaly technique

Thomas Krüger, Stéphanie Kéren Cohen, Maoz Fine

As the oceans become less alkaline due to rising CO2 levels, deleterious consequences are expected for calcifying corals. Predicting how coral calcification will be affected by on-going ocean acidification (OA) requires an accurate assessment of CaCO3 depo ...

Ligand and Metal Based Multielectron Redox Chemistry of Cobalt Supported by Tetradentate Schiff Bases

Rosario Scopelliti, Marinella Mazzanti, Julie Renée Michelle Andrez

We have investigated the influence of bound cations on the reduction of cobalt complexes of redox active ligands and explored the reactivity of reduced species with CO2. The one electron reduction of [CoII(Rsalophen)] with alkali metals (M = Li, Na, K) lea ...

Halide removal from aqueous solution by novel silver-polymeric materials

Urs von Gunten

The objective of this study was to analyze the behavior of a new material, silver-doped polymeric cloth (Ag-cloth), in the removal of bromide and iodide from waters. Silver is immobilized on the cloth, guaranteeing selective adsorption of the halide ions a ...

An Alien Divalent Ion Reveals a Major Role for Ca2+ Buffering in Controlling Slow Transmitter Release

Ralf Schneggenburger, Daniel Keller, Olexiy Kochubey

Ca2+-dependent transmitter release occurs in a fast and in a slow phase, but the differential roles of Ca2+ buffers and Ca2+ sensors in shaping release kinetics are still controversial. Replacing extracellular Ca2+ by Sr2+ causes decreased fast release but ...

Control of groundwater pH during bioremediation: Improvement and validation of a geochemical model to assess the buffering potential of ground silicate minerals

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Elsa Marina Lacroix

Accurate control of groundwater pH is of critical importance for in situ biological treatment of chlorinated solvents. The use of ground silicate minerals mixed with groundwater is an appealing buffering strategy as silicate minerals may act as long-term s ...

Using Silicate Mineral Particles for pH Control during in situ Bioremediation of Chlorinated Ethene Source Zones

Elsa Marina Lacroix

Soil and groundwater pollution by chlorinated solvents such as tricholorethene (TCE) and tetrachloroethene (PCE) is a frequent problem in the industrialized world. Chlorinated solvents, characterized by a low solubility and a density greater than water, fo ...

Uptake of Fluoride from Aqueous Solution on Nano-Sized Hydroxyapatite: Examination of a Fluoridated Surface Layer

Janet Gordon Hering

Hydroxyapatite (Ca-10(PO4)(6)(OH)(2), HAP), both as a synthetic material and as a constituent of bone char, can serve as an effective and relatively inexpensive filter material for fluoride (F-) removal from drinking water in low-income countries. Fluoride ...

Predictive hydrogeochemical modelling of bauxite residue sand in field conditions

David Andrew Barry, Laurin Wissmeier

The suitability of residue sand (the coarse fraction remaining from Bayer´s process of bauxite refining) for constructing the surface cover of closed bauxite residue storage areas was investigated. Specifically, its properties as a medium for plant growth ...

Hydrogeochemical Modelling of Variably Saturated Soils : Model Development and Application to Bauxite Refining Residue

Laurin Wissmeier

This thesis is about the simulation of flow, transport and geochemical reactions in variably saturated soils. Motivated by the problematic disposal and revegetation of residue from aluminium refining, novel modelling tools for general geochemical reactions ...

Buffering soil-water acidity in chlorinated solvent bioremediation schemes

David Andrew Barry, Christof Holliger, Alessandro Brovelli, Clare Robinson, Elsa Marina Lacroix

Chlorinated solvents form a significant part of groundwater contamination worldwide. They are difficult to remove via physical means, and anaerobic source-zone remediation based on provision of fermentable e-donor is an attractive clean-up dechlorination o ...

Implementation of variably saturated flow into PHREEQC for the simulation of biogeochemical reactions in the vadose zone

David Andrew Barry, Laurin Wissmeier

A software tool for the simulation of one-dimensional unsaturated flow and solute transport together with biogeochemical reactions in the vadose zone was developed by integrating a numerical solution of Richards' equation into the geochemical modelling fra ...
