Antimony(V) mobility in acid mine drainage (AMD) is often controlled by sorption and coprecipitation with schwertmannite - a poorly-ordered Fe(III) oxyhydroxysulfate mineral. However, due to its metastable nature, schwertmannite transforms over time to more thermodynamically stable Fe(III) phases, such as goethite. This study examines how transformation of Sb(V)-bearing schwertmannite to goethite impacts Sb(V) mobility, while also assessing the role that Sb(V) may play in stabilizing schwertmannite against such transformation.

Questions about the origin of the adsorption/desorption hysteresis in mesoporous materials are as old as sorption experiments themselves. The historical conception that underlines most existing methods to extract pore size distributions from sorption data assumes that adsorption is a metastable process and that desorption takes place at thermodynamic equilibrium. In this work, we measure nitrogen and argon sorption on a series of 14 SBA-15 ordered mesoporous silicas and use small-angle X-ray scattering to independently determine their pore sizes.

Cementation in construction materials primarily relies on the aqueous precipitation of minerals such as carbonates and silicates. The kinetics of nucleation and growth play a critical role in the development of strength and durability, yet our understanding of the kinetic controls governing phase formation and porosity reduction in cements remains limited. In this study, we synthesized bisphosphonate molecules with varying alkyl chain lengths and functional groups to investigate their impact on calcium carbonate precipitation.

Amorphous solid dispersions (ASDs) are a widely used formulation technology for poorly water-soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). Depending on the API-polymer combination and API load in the ASD, the amorphous API might be thermodynamically metastable and crystallize over time. The crystallization onset is one critical factor that can define the shelf life of the ASD.
