Microbial community succession characteristics in an anaerobic baffled reactor during phenol gradient acclimation by Yuan LI, Chunmei YU, Daqiang CANG

“…However, the ΔG' values for these reactions were consistently greater than −20 kJ·mol−1, indicating that propionate degradation did not occur under the experimental conditions. From a thermodynamic point of view, high hydrogen partial pressure levels in the reactor affected the propionate degradation process and also inhibited sludge bioactivity. …”

Hydrogen and hydrogen sulphide in volcanic gases: abundance, processes, and atmospheric fluxes by Aiuppa, Alessandro, Moussallam, Yves

“…The high H$_{2}$ concentrations (and low H$_{2}$S/SO$_{2}$ compositions, of ${\sim }$0.1 on average) in high-temperature (${>}$1000 °C) magmatic gases are overall consistent with those predicted thermodynamically assuming external redox buffering operated by the coexisting silicate melt, at oxygen fugacities ranging from ${\Delta }$FMQ $-$1 to 0 (non-arc volcanoes) to ${\Delta }$FMQ 0 to ${+}$2 (arc volcanoes) (where ${\Delta }$FMQ is oxygen fugacity expresses as a log unit difference relative to the Fayalite–Magnetite–Quartz oxygen fugacity buffer). …”

The European summer heatwave of 2019 – a regional storyline perspective by T. Klimiuk, P. Ludwig, A. Sanchez-Benitez, H. F. Goessling, P. Braesicke, P. Braesicke, J. G. Pinto

“…To isolate the more certain thermodynamic response from the less certain dynamical response to anthropogenic climate change, we employ an event-based storyline approach and focus the present study on the 2019 summer heatwaves that occurred over central Europe. …”

Study on the correlation between microstructural evolution and hydrogen storage properties in hyper-eutectic Mg-xNi (x = 15, 20, 25) alloys by So Jin Jung, Seok Su Sohn, Da Hye Lee, Won-Seok Ko, Tae Jun Ha, Ryun-Ho Kwak, Byeong-Chan Suh, Young Min Kim, Hyung-Ki Park

“…To understand why the plateau pressure remained constant despite variations in alloy composition, the equilibrium compositions of the Mg and Mg2Ni phases in the alloys were calculated through thermodynamic calculations. In addition, the compositions of the Mg and Mg2Ni phases within the lamellar structure were analyzed using transmission electron microscope. …”

Exploring the processes controlling secondary inorganic aerosol: evaluating the global GEOS-Chem simulation using a suite of aircraft campaigns by O. G. Norman, C. L. Heald, C. L. Heald, C. L. Heald, S. Bililign, P. Campuzano-Jost, H. Coe, H. Coe, M. N. Fiddler, J. R. Green, J. L. Jimenez, K. Kaiser, J. Liao, J. Liao, A. M. Middlebrook, B. A. Nault, B. A. Nault, B. A. Nault, J. B. Nowak, J. Schneider, A. Welti

“…Predicting concentrations of these species is complicated by the cascade of processes that control their abundance, including emissions, chemistry, thermodynamic partitioning, and removal. In this study, we use 11 flight campaigns to evaluate the GEOS-Chem model performance for SNA. …”

Application of iron-rich slag to capture carbon dioxide gas through direct gas-solid carbonation by F. Abdul, R.F. Rahman, K.A. Purwanto, F.I. Ma'ruf, Y. Setiyorini, V.A. Setyowati, S. Pintowantoro

“…The iron-rich slag operates under the diffusion-controlled model when it comes to capturing carbon dioxide.CONCLUSION: Iron-rich slag is reported to capture carbón dioxide at 175 degrees celsius with carbón dioxide and water vapor condition, which is proven both from thermodynamic calculations and experiments. Iron(II) carbonate is a carbonate compound generated by the carbón dioxide capture reaction by iron-rich slag. …”
