• The effect of sodium hydroxide on Al uptake by calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) 

      Barzgar, Sonya; Lothenbach, Barbara; Tarik, Mohamed; Di Giacomo, Alessio; Ludwig, Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      To reduce the CO2 emissions from cement production, Portland cement (PC) is partially replaced by supplementary cementitious materials (SCM). Reactions of SCM with PC during hydration leads to the formation of Csingle ...
    • Fe(II) interaction with cement phases: Method development, wet chemical studies and X-ray absorption spectroscopy 

      Mancini, A.; Wieland, E.; Geng, G.; Lothenbach, Barbara; Wehrli, B.; Dähn, R. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Fe(II) interaction with cement phases was studied by means of co-precipitation and sorption experiments in combination with X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy. Oxidation of Fe(II) was fast in alkaline ...
    • Improving superamphiphobicity by mimicking tree-branch topography 

      Ding, Wenwu; Dorao, Carlos Alberto; Fernandino, Maria (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      when a droplet impacts on a superhydrophobic structured surface below a certain impact velocity, the droplet can bounce off completely from the surface. However, above such velocity a fraction of the droplet will pin on ...
    • Toward Green Flotation: Interaction of a Sophorolipid Biosurfactant with a Copper Sulfide 

      Dhar, Priyanka; Havskjold, Håkon; Thornhill, Maria; Roelants, Sophie; Soetaert, Wim; Kota, Hanumantha Rao; Chernyshova, Irina (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals have sparked growing interest in biosurfactants from many surfactant-loaded industries including those utilizing froth flotation for mineral separation. However, the ...
