We revisit a fundamental question in mineral dissolution kinetics, namely: is the function of dissolution rate versus the distance from equilibrium continuous, or does the "switch" between two different reaction mechanisms cause a discontinuity, i.e., a kinetic bifurcation?
One fundamental physical effect of CO2 dissolution is the slight increase in water density in the layer in contact with the buoyant free-phase CO2 plume.
These studies have clearly shown that solutional weathering is a fundamental process, acting through intergranular dissolution of quartz increasing the rock porosity and decreasing the rock strength to erosion.
As a direct application example, the derived analytical solutions are used to investigate the fundamental behaviours of the NAPL dissolution problems associated with radial aqueous-phase-liquid flow in the fluid-saturated porous media.
In this review, we summarize our current understanding of solid dispersions both in the solid state and in dissolution, emphasizing the fundamental aspects of this important technology.
Platinum dissolution, however, is a fundamental process that can be also studied effectively on extended surfaces, but it has been still ambiguously discussed in the literature.
It is also worth mentioning that Wang et al. showed in their analysis of a wide selection of ILs that the molar ratio of IL to OH was 2.1 ± 0.3 at the cellulose solubility limit for each IL, showing the fundamental importance of this ratio in carbohydrate dissolution.
The data set is the first of its kind to provide high resolution quantification of gas-water dissolution, and will facilitate an improved understanding of the fundamental processes of gas movement and fate in these complex systems.
But while the first-place finish of the Greek party New Democracy removed for the moment the immediate threat of dissolution of the currency zone, it did not address the fundamental problems facing Spain and other members of the euro zone.
The federal government took us to a double-dissolution election under the pretext of a bill that strips fundamental human rights from building and construction workers.
