Abstract:
In this study, a facultative anaerobic strain isolated from marine sediments and identified as Citrobacter freundii, was used to induce the precipitation of carbonate and phosphate minerals in the laboratory under anaerobic conditions. This is the first time that the ability of C. freundii ZW123 to precipitate carbonate and phosphate minerals has been demonstrated. During the experiments, carbonic anhydrase, alkaline phosphatase and ammonium released by the bacteria not only promoted an increase in pH, but also drove the supersaturation and precipitation of carbonate and phosphate minerals.

Studies of mineral-forming processes in modern peat bogs can shed light on metal concentrations and their cycling in similar environments, especially in geological paleoanalogs. In terms of the mineralogical and geochemical evolution of peat bog environments, the Vasyugan Swamp in Western Siberia is a unique scientific object. Twelve peat samples were collected from the Vasyugan Swamp up to the depth of 275 cm at 25 cm intervals. The studied peat deposit section is represented by oligotrophic (0–100 cm), mesotrophic (100–175 cm), and eutrophic (175–275 cm) peat, and this is underlain by basal

Microbial-induced carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a bio-inspired solution where bacteria metabolize urea to precipitate. This carbonate acts as a bio-cement that bonds soil particles. The existing framework has focused mainly on applying MICP through infiltration of liquid bacterial solutions in existing soil deposits. However, this technique is inefficient in soils with high fines content and low hydraulic conductivity, and thus few studies have focused on the use of MICP in fine soils.

Abstract:
A study of the dynamics of crude oil decomposition was carried out using the bio-preparations “Glaukoil” and “Lenoil” and various methods (aeration, application of a sorbent and a biological product at different times, the use of a polymer shelter, the addition of a moisture-retaining component and the distribution of the dose of mineral fertilizers) in order to optimize the oil destruction technology at emergency oil spills. It is shown that the most effective methods are the use of a polyethylene film to maintain a higher temperature during oil decomposition, additional aeration, and the use

Summary We used broad-ion-beam slope cutting in combination with scanning electron microscopy undertaken under cryogenic conditions (Cryo-BIB-SEM) to study mineral/oil/brine contacts in reservoir carbonates. This direct-imaging method allows pore-scale investigation of in-situ fluids and their distributions down to the nanometer scale. In this study, we compare two types of carbonate reservoirs: a fine-grained Lixhe limestone (Belgium) and a coarse-grained limestone from the Maastricht area (The Netherlands). In both rock types, we first quantify the porosity with BIB-SEM and derive the spatia

South Africa is a cornucopia of mineral riches and the performance of its mining industry has significant impacts on the economy. Hence, an accurate distributional assumption of the underlying mining index returns is imperative for the forecasting and understanding of the financial market. In this paper, we propose three subclasses of the generalized hyperbolic distributions as appropriate models for the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) Mining Index returns.

Although much effort has been put into determining dust sources from satellite observations, geo-locating active dust sources is still challenging and uncertainties in space and time are evident.
