TL;DR: It is clear from the preliminary experiments reported here that crack surfaces in olivine (and probably other silicate minerals and glasses) are capable of stabilizing compounds that otherwise would not be stable in cooling lava.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report the cation and anion concentrations and Sr, oxygen and carbon isotopic compositions of formation waters from four extraction wells sampled at surface, over ~ 6 months after commencement of CO2 injection in a five spot pattern for enhanced oil recovery at the Salt Creek field, Wyoming.

TL;DR: In this article, the first report of boehmite as a major alteration mineral in a mid-ocean ridge hydrothermal environment was made, which constitutes the first reporting of BoEmite as an alteration mineral.

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical electron microscopy on individual grains from a portion of a chondritic porous interplanetary dust particle (aggregate W7029C1 from the NASA Johnson Space Center Cosmic Dust Collection) shows that layer silicates compose 50 percent of the silicate fraction examined.
Abstract: Analytical electron microscopy on individual grains from a portion of a chondritic porous interplanetary dust particle (aggregate W7029C1 from the NASA Johnson Space Center Cosmic Dust Collection) shows that layer silicates compose 50 percent of the silicate fraction examined. These layer silicates can be classified into two distinct crystallochemical groups: (1) fine-grained, polycrystalline smectite minerals; and (2) well-ordered, single crystals of kaolinite and Mg-poor talc. The layer silicates in this portion of sample W7029(asterisk)A are dissimilar to those described in other chondritic porous aggregates. The predominant layer silicate assemblage in W7029(asterisk)A indicates that heating of the aggregate during atmospheric entry was brief and probably to a temperature less than 300 C. Comparison with terrestrial phyllosilicate occurrences suggests that some layer silicates in aggregate W7029(asterisk)A may have been formed by alteratiton from preexisting silicate minerals at low temperatures (less than 25 C) after aggregate formation.

TL;DR: In this article, six silicate minerals were investigated in batch study and one in continuous flow column study for their ability to adsorb polio-virus I From 642 × 10 4 to 895 × 104 PFU of the polio-viruses were adsorbed per mg of silicate mineral with differences shown for the various minerals.
