A 25-year-long study provides the first quantitative measurement of in situ calcium-magnesium silicate mineral dissolution by ants, termites, tree roots, and bare ground. This study reveals that ants ...

A study was made of the use of magnesium silicates as adsorbents for phosphate present in water. It was found that the phosphate absorption capacity for the minerals and the alumina studied is in the ...

Magnesium is commonly found in rocks and sea water as well as living organisms. Paul Knochel relates how this element has also sparked a great deal of interest among chemists. One of the most abundant ...

Stanford University chemists have developed a practical, low-cost way to permanently remove atmospheric carbon dioxide, the ...

Ammonium salts could provide a viable way of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via carbon mineralization, studies suggest. Their work focused on using carbon mineralization, a process that ...

Of all the planet-warming greenhouse gases human activity releases into the atmosphere, carbon dioxide is the most significant emission. As such, experts have suggested that, in addition to ...
