Leaching Mechanisms of Cr(VI) from Chromite Ore Processing Residue by Wazne, Mahmoud

“…However, experimental results suggested that Cr(VI) solubility is controlled partially by Cr(VI)-hydrocalumite at pH >10.5 and by hydrotalcites at pH >8 in addition to adsorption of anionic chromate species onto inherently present metal oxides and hydroxides at pH <8. As pH decreased to <10, most of the Cr(VI) bearing minerals become unstable and their dissolution contributes to the increase in Cr(VI) concentration in the leachate solution. …”

Nonlinear effects in locally resonant nanostrip phononic metasurface at GHz frequencies by Feng Gao (3548)

“…Each of the nanostrips is 250 nm wide and is made of a 680-nm-thick SiO₂ layer stacking on 50-nm Al metal electrodes. Finite element analysis reveals that the device operates in a vertically polarized (compression) mode with substantial acoustic energy confined in the nanostrips, leading to a local resonance at low acoustic velocity. …”
