The solution-mediated formation of calcium sulfate minerals, ie gypsum, anhydrite and
bassanite, is a common process in both natural and engineered settings. It plays a key role …

Sulfate scaling, as insoluble inorganic sulfate deposits, can cause serious operational
problems in various industries, such as blockage of membrane pores and subsurface media …

The use of microfluidics on synchrotron X-ray beamlines represents an advanced sample
preparation and delivery platform for state-of-the-art X-ray characterization of micro-samples …

Gypsum (CaSO4· 2H2O) is the most common sulfate mineral on Earth and is also found on
Mars. It is an evaporitic mineral that predominantly precipitates from brines. In addition to its …

Millions of tons of hazardous spent sulfuric acid and coagulation sediments from water
treatment facilities are produced annually. In this work, a green approach for the synthetic …

One of the major applications to be interested by the processes controlling the nucleation
(and growth) of minerals are the concrete and the gypsum industries. The available …

The cylindrical pores of track-etched membranes offer excellent environments for studying
the effects of confinement on crystallization as the pore diameter is readily varied and the …

Characterizing the pathways by which crystals form remains a significant challenge,
particularly when multiple pathways operate simultaneously. Here, an imaging‐based …

The rapid increase of nanoparticles in the environment has occurred largely as a result of
anthropogenic activities, such as industrialization, including accelerated mining activities …

Calcium sulfate is an important construction material. More than 1600 million square meters
of interior surfaces are covered with plasterboards in Europe each year. Plasterboard is …
