Adsorption Characteristics and Transport Behavior of Cr(VI) in Shallow Aquifers Surrounding a Chromium Ore Processing Residue (COPR) Dumpsite by Yu Liu, Yin Li, Yucheng Hu, Khan M. G. Mostofa, Siliang Li, Zhenying Liu

“…The kinetics proved that Cr(VI) is not easily adsorbed by the aquifer mediums but transports with groundwater. Thermodynamics indicated that Cr(VI) adsorption on tested aquifers was feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic. …”

Study of unusable liquid propellant residues evaporation processes parameters in the tanks of launch vehicle worked-off stage in microgravity by V. I. Trushlyakov, V. A. Urbansky

“…The physical and mathematical model of the liquid evaporation process is based on the first thermodynamics law. Based on the analysis of the Frud and Grashof criteria, the assumption that there is no convection movement inside the drop (Rayleigh number is less than critical) for both boundary conditions variants, the heat transfer coefficient of the gas-vapor mixture produced in the tank is determined based on the regression dependence obtained in ground conditions as a function of from the Nusselt, Reynolds, Prandtl numbers. …”

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). …”
