Purpose: To evaluate the effect of Silica (SiO(2)) and Calcium Carbonate (CaCO(3)) based dentifrice on their dentine abrasives.
Methods: Microscope, environmental electron scanning electron microscope (SEM) and radioactive Dentine Abrasion (RDA) assay were used to quantitatively measure the wear of dentine.
Results: The mechanical brushing assay showed severe dentine abrasion with CaCO(3) based dentifrices. There were only minor scratches on the specimens brushed with SiO(2) dentifrices. Analysis of the thin section by SEM after exposure to dentifrices showed that NaF/SiO(2) produced significant remineralization whereas MFP/CaCO(3) system resulted in little remineralization. RDA values were 86.17 and 98.61 for SiO(2) based dentifrices and 222.85 and 253.84 for CaCO(3) based dentifrices, respectively. The morphology of the irregular shaped CaCO(3) with sharp points/edges further explained the brushing and RDA results.
Conclusion: These results indicate that abrasive in dentifrice, e.g. CaCO(3), can cause severe abrasion of dentine in vitro.

The dolomite dust-emulsified asphalt composite (DAC) with excellent mechanical properties was successfully prepared using alkali activation. The effects of different alkali concentrations and emulsified asphalt contents on the mechanical properties of the materials were studied. And the micro-mechanisms of its mechanical performance changes were analyzed through SEM and XRD characterization.

In the course of pipe jacking construction, the carrying-soil effect frequently arises, influenced by factors such as excavation unloading, ongoing disturbance from successive pipe sections, and the progressive accumulation of soil adhesion. The pipe jacking slurry serves as a critical agent for friction reduction and strata support, essential for the secure advancement of the construction process. This study introduces the Microbial-Induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICP) technology into the realm of pipe jacking slurry, aiming to enhance its friction-reduction capabilities and the stability of the soil enveloping the pipe.

Calcium (Ca)-enhanced organic matter (OM) fouling of nanofiltration (NF) membranes leads to reduced flux during desalination and requires frequent cleaning. Fouling mechanisms are not fully understood, which limits the development of targeted fouling control methods. This study employed synchrotron-based X-ray fluorescence (XRF) and X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy to quantify the spatial distribution and mass of Ca deposition as well as changes in the Ca coordination environment characteristic of specific fouling mechanisms, respectively.

This paper reports a method for determining the carbonation rate (CR) of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) during carbonation process based on headspace gas chromatography technique. The method was carried out by simultaneously detecting the signal values of carbon dioxide and oxygen. Then the carbonation rate of precipitated calcium carbonate in the carbonation process can be calculated by the ratio (γ) of carbon dioxide to oxygen based on a new mathematical model.
