A comparison of soil characteristics in relation to success of a restored prairie
(2013)The Department of Energy's Weldon Spring Site began as an ordinance site and later became a uranium processing facility. Remediation of hazardous waste resulted in an on-site disposal cell and approximately 150 surrounding ... -
Effect of Cooling Rates on Mineralization in Portland Cement Clinker
(2015-08-12)The rate at which cement clinker is cooled as it exits the kiln has long been known to be an important factor in cement quality. Cooling rate is one of the variables that has a significant impact on the minerals produced ... -
Geochemical evaluation of the Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) impact hypothesis, El Carrizal Baja California Sur, Mexico
(2013)The Younger Dryas Boundary (YDB) extraterrestrial impact hypothesis is purported to have triggered the Younger Dryas stadial and coincides with the Pleistocene extinction and disappearance of the Clovis Paleo-Indian ... -
Metals hosts in the Pennsylvanian Hushpuckney and Stark Black Shales from Selected Areas in Kansas City
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2017)The Hushpuckney Shale of the Swope Formation and the Stark Shale of the Dennis Formation, two black shales in the Pennsylvanian Kansas City group, contain elevated concentrations of transition and based metal elements, ... -
Ripening Kinetics of Iron Sulfides in the Presence/Absence of a Carbonyl Group
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)The ripening of mackinawite (Fe₁+ₓS) to pyrite (FeS₂) or greigite (Fe²⁺Fe³⁺ ₂S₄) was examined at temperatures between 23 and 90°C to better understand the kinetics of low temperature iron sulfide crystallization in the ...
