Why zinc oxide specifically? While both zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are naturally occurring minerals that sit on top of your skin to block and reflect the sun’s powerful UVA and UVB rays, zinc ...

Manganese oxide minerals, such as birnessite and related phases, play a pivotal role in environmental processes ranging from the sequestration of heavy metals to the cycling of water and redox-active ...

The project has identified concentrations exceeding 2% zirconium oxide and 40ppm hafnium oxide.

These unexpected strategies turn iron oxide minerals into highly versatile carbon snatchers, capable of grabbing and holding onto many different types of organic molecules. The findings offer new ...

Iron oxide in soil performs the same transformation as plants and microbes that are known to secrete enzymes to transform organic phosphorus into bioavailable inorganic phosphorus. Northwestern ...

Phosphorus is a key element for all life on Earth. For decades, researchers thought that, in nature, only enzymes could transform organic phosphorus—phosphates within biomolecules—into its ...

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / December 9, 2019 / Applied Minerals, Inc. (the "Company" or "Applied Minerals") (OTCQB:AMNL), a leading global producer of halloysite clay, under the trade name DRAGONITE, ...

Scientists know iron oxide minerals store large amounts of carbon in soils, but lack a detailed, quantitative understanding of the specific chemical mechanisms that allow them to bind such a wide ...
