N2O Decomposition over Fe-ZSM-5: A Systematic Study in the Generation of Active Sites

Lioubov Kiwi, Bryan Bromley, Fernando Cardenas Lizana

We have carried out a systematic investigation of the critical activation parameters (i.e., final temperature (673-1273 K), atmosphere (He vs. O-2/He), and final isothermal hold (1 min-15 h) on the generation of "alpha-sites", responsible for the direct N2 ...

Rapid, Robust, and Relevant (R3) Reactivity Test for Supplementary Cementitious Materials

Karen Scrivener, Ruben Anton Snellings, François Henri Avet, Xuerun Li

Although supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are now commonly accepted and widely used, consensus has not been reached for methods to test their chemical reactivity. A multitude of test methods exist but often fall short on one or more of the key f ...

Differential Heating Drives Downslope Flows that Accelerate Mixed-LayerWarming in Ice-Covered Waters

Alfred Johny Wüest, Damien Bouffard, Hugo Nicolás Ulloa Sánchez, Kraig Bates Winters

In ice-covered lakes, penetrative radiation warms fluid beneath a diffusive boundary layer, thereby increasing its density and providing energy for convection in a diurnally active, deepening mixed layer. Shallow regions are differentially heated to warmer ...
