Summary: Chemical transformations in aerosols have significant impacts on aerosol properties, atmospheric pollutants, and climate and health. However, current models do not consider the coupled nature of multiphase processes. This study demonstrates that considering the coupled kinetic and diffusion processes, as well as the thermodynamic properties, can accurately predict the kinetics of chemical reactions in aerosols. Furthermore, the reaction timescales are limited by the rate of ozone arrival in the bulk phase, particularly for slow-reacting solutes with low surface affinity.

Summary: Chemical transformations in aerosols have significant impacts on the lifetime of particle phase species, the fate of atmospheric pollutants, and the properties of aerosols relevant to climate and health. However, current models often neglect the coupled nature of multiphase processes in atmospheric aerosol reactivity. This study combines experimental observations and kinetic modeling to reveal the importance of coupled kinetic and diffusion processes in accurately predicting the decay kinetics of ozone in aerosols.

Summary: The Narm deposit is part of the Kashmar-Kerman Tectonic Zone in Central Iran, containing about 135,000 tons of iron ore with magnetite as the main mineral. The mineralization process is indicated to be formed by magmatic-hydrothermal activity based on mineral assemblages and geochemical characteristics, as well as fluid inclusion analysis and oxygen isotope data.

Summary: We investigated the rates of magmatic processes by studying the volcanic products erupted in August 2017 from Bogoslof volcano. Our findings revealed that the distinct boundaries in the crystal clots of plagioclase, clinopyroxene, and amphibole were formed as a result of rapid decompression during magma ascent and subsequent storage in a shallow cryptodome. Diffusion chronometry on zoned clinopyroxene phenocrysts allowed us to determine that the diffusion began no more than 180 days before the final explosive event.

Summary: The study investigates the mineral alteration and porosity evolution of shale during deterioration processes caused by water-rock reactions. Sequential water-rock reactions accelerate the mineral alterations and porosity changes, with greater effects observed in the latter part of the sequence. The findings suggest that the self-designed reaction system effectively represents sequential water-rock reactions and the deterioration of shale increases successively along the water flow direction.

Summary: Mineral-impregnated carbon fibers (MCFs) offer a promising reinforcement for geopolymer concrete, providing cement-free, lightweight, fireproof, and durable structures. Experimental results show that MCFs have comparable load-transferring capacity and post-crack behavior at ambient temperature, but better bonding quality at elevated temperatures. Finite element modeling can accurately predict the pull-out process in conjunction with experimental data.

Summary: Reactions in the HBr+ + HCl (DCl) system were investigated under single-collision conditions using a guided ion-beam apparatus. Proton transfer (PTHCl) and charge transfer (CT) were observed in the HBr+ + HCl system, while in the HBr+ + DCl system, proton transfer (PTDCl) and deuterium abstraction (DA) were accessible. The cross sections for all reaction channels were measured as a function of collision energy and ion rotational energy, and compared with theoretical simulations using ab initio molecular dynamics.

Summary: Developing green insulation materials, particularly natural esters, has become crucial for future research. This study demonstrated that natural esters can effectively delay cellulose ageing in comparison to mineral oil, by reducing the acid hydrolysis reaction of cellulose. Furthermore, natural esters form hydrogen bonds with hydronium ions, leading to fewer hydronium ions in cellulose, which results in smaller binding energy between cellulose and hydronium ions and ultimately slower thermal ageing rate.

Summary: This study investigates the process of secondary mineral precipitation in basalt exposed to CO2-saturated formation water, revealing the presence of stilbite and montmor-illionite in suspension and authigenic minerals like kaolinite, Fe-oxide, and Na-nontronite on the surface of the basalt wafers at the end of the incubation.

Summary: CO2 mineralization is the safest and highest-capacity method for CO2 geosequestration. Molecular dynamics calculations show that the leaching of Ca ions from Ca-olivine has a substantially lower energy barrier and faster dissolution rate compared to the leaching of Mg ions from Mg-olivine, indicating the former has greater capacity for carbon dioxide mineralization.

Summary: Low-intensity emission of volcanic ash is the most frequent eruptive activity worldwide, characterized by heterogeneous texture and composition. Lack of precursor signals makes petrological monitoring the only way to understand the mechanisms and evolution.

Summary: The article reports on the ash cloud caused by the collapse of the Stromboli volcano crater rim on May 19, 2021. The ash cloud spread eastward and deposited a layer of fine pinkish ash over the village of Stromboli. The study compares the ash deposit with previous deposits related to other volcanic events and provides insights into the characteristics of the ash cloud. The results suggest that the distribution of mass and grain size is not correlated with the distance from the source, and the fine ash is mainly attributed to the fragmentation of clasts.
