Interaction of inositol phosphate with calcite

The interaction of myo-inositol hexaphosphate with calcite was studied to evaluate the adsorption mechanisms and the electrochemical modifications induced by interaction of a molecule at such a high-charge density. In addition to quantitative information through the construction of adsorption isotherms, FT-IR and Laser Doppler Velocimetry - Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (LDV-PCS) were employed to investigate the nature of the adsorbent-adsorbate bonds and to determine the electrophoretic mobility and size of the particles before and after sorption. The experiments were also run with orthophosphate (Pi) for comparison. The amount of sorbed P increased to reach a plateau at 17.8 mol m^-2 for inositol hexaphosphate (IHP) while for Pi rose 1.4 mol m^-2 but at C_e > 610^-4 M it had a sharp increase reaching 155 mol m^-2. As expected, for Pi, adsorption predominated up Ce 610^-4 M by covering about 20% of total surface. The adsorption occurred at sites that behaved as nucleus of formation of the clustering of Ca- and PO₄-ions with the ending formation of calcium phosphate precipitates at C_e higher than 610^-4 M. The reaction of inositol hexaphosphate with calcite involves, besides adsorption, precipitation of Ca salts and hence calcite dissolution also at the lowest added IHP concentrations, accounting for the large amount retained by calcite. Sorption of IHP on calcite caused aggregation of particles at low concentrations followed by an increase of their negative charge and hence re-dispersion at higher concentrations. These results indicate a great IHP-fixing capacity of calcite that can affect its accumulation in soils and P bioavailability, and a considerable change of calcite electrochemical properties and particle size distribution that can modify aggregate stability.     

Investigation of the Influence of Fillers on the Properties of Poly(vinyl acetate) Adhesives

The properties of poly(vinyl acetate) compositions prepared as potential wood adhesives were investigated. The paper presents the results of the influence of various kinds of inorganic fillers based on calcium carbonate and alumino-silicate and an organic filler, starch, on the adhesive composition properties. The comparison among rheological behavior of the adhesive dispersions concerning the specific role of fillers were made. Mechanical and relaxation properties of the adhesive films could reveal the effect of filler characteristics on the polymer matrix. The significant influences of particle size distribution and specific surface area on the poly(vinyl acetate) adhesive composition were determined, along with other filler characteristics.

Existence and release of fluid inclusions in bornite and its associated quartz and calcite

The existence and release of fluid inclusions in bornite and its associated minerals, namely, quartz and calcite were investigated and confirmed. The structures, forms, and phases of these large quantities of fluid inclusions were also studied. A mass of fluid inclusions with various sizes, distributions, shapes, and phases exist in bornite and its associated minerals. Their sizes vary from a few micrometers to tens of micrometers, and the forms appear as negative crystals, or elongated, elliptical, and irregular. At room temperature, fluid inclusions were mainly characterized as gas-liquid two- phase. However, small amounts of fluid inclusions with pure gas phase and pure liquid single-phase were also observed in quartz and calcite. These fluid inclusions initially broke during the ore crushing and grinding process and then released into the flotation pulp in the flotation process. The quantitative analysis of fluid inclusions in the solution and the comparisons of mineral dissolution show that the amount of copper and iron released by fluid inclusions in the bornite sample is higher than the amount dissolved by the mineral; fluid inclusions in the associated gangue minerals, quartz, and calcite also make contribution.

In situ restoration of the surface defects on cement-based materials by bacteria mineralization with spraying method

Defects of cement-based materials can be restored by microbial carbonate precipitation, but in order to accelerate the completion of the mineralization process, previous studies all adopt the approach of immersion in bacterial liquid, which can not be applied for in situ repair. We investigated micro-environment, basophil-domestication of microorganism and effective absorption of micro-organisms by cement-based materials, and adopted spray technology to conduct in situ repairs on the defects on the surface of cement-based materials and enhance the repair process operability. Through microbial carbonate precipitation in the defects by spraying bacteria liquid, 100 μm thickness of calcium carbonate fi lm can be deposited on sample surface and in defects holes' microenvironment within 3 to 5 days. The capillary water absorption coeffi cient of specimen surface is 77% lower than the value before repair. The repairing effect is remarkable which makes it possible to conduct on-site repairs.

F-在方解石表面的吸附及其对方解石表面性质的影响

氟元素主要存在于磷矿和萤石等矿物中,这些矿物中都伴生有方解石脉石矿物,在浮选分离的弱酸条件下,矿物表面的F^-会部分溶出并吸附到矿物表面,从而影响矿物表面性质。本文研究了F^-在方解石表面的吸附及其对方解石表面性质的影响机理。结果表明,在矿浆pH 值为5.5时,F^-以化学吸附的方式吸附在方解石表面,随着吸附时间的增加吸附量逐渐增加,90 min时方解石对F^-的吸附达到平衡。在油酸钠(NaOL)为捕收剂时,F^-的存在会降低方解石表面的疏水性。通过Zeta电位测试、溶液化学计算和X射线光电子能谱仪(XPS)分析表明,F^-会和方解石表面的Ca²⁺反应生成CaF₂沉淀,占据方解石表面的Ca位点,降低NaOL在方解石表面的吸附量。     

Characterization of two distinctly different mineral-related proteins from the teeth of the Camarodont sea urchin Lytechinus variegatus: Specificity of function with relation to mineralization

The majority of the mineral phase of the Lytechinus variegatus tooth is comprised of magnesium containing calcite crystal elements, collectively arranged so that they appear as a single crystal under polarized light, as well as under X-ray or electron irradiation. However, the crystal elements are small, and in spite of the common alignment of their crystal axes, are not the same size or shape in different parts of the tooth. The toughness of the tooth structure arises from the fact that it is a composite in which the crystals are coated with surface layers of organic matter that probably act to inhibit crack formation and elongation. In the growth region the organic components represent a greater part of the tooth structure. In the most heavily mineralized adoral region the primary plates fuse with inter-plate pillars. Using Scanning Electron Microscopy; TOF-SIMS mapping of the characteristic amino acids of the mineral related proteins; and isolation and characterization of the mineral-protected protein we report that the late-forming inter-plate pillars had more than a three-fold greater Mg content than the primary plates. Furthermore, the aspartic acid content of the mineralrelated protein was highest in the high Mg pillars whereas the mineral-protected protein of the primary plates was richer in glutamic acid content.These results suggest that the Asp-rich protein(s) is important for formation of the late developing inter-plate pillars that fuse the primary plates and increase the stiffness of the most mature tooth segment.
