      Adsorption of hexavalent chromium on dunite 

      Demetriou, Antri; Pashalidis, Ioannis (2011)
      The paper presents and discusses the effect of various physicochemical parameters (e.g. pH, ionic strength, Cr(VI) initial concentration, amount of the adsorbent, temperature and contact time between metal ion and adsorbent) ...

      Carbon sequestration via enhanced weathering of peridotites and basalts in seawater 

      Rigopoulos, I.; Harrison, A. L.; Delimitis, A.; Ioannou, I.; Efstathiou, A. M.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Oelkers, E. H. (2018)
      Enhanced weathering of mafic and ultramafic rocks has been suggested as a carbon sequestration strategy for the mitigation of climate change. This study was designed to assess the potential drawdown of CO2 directly from ...

      Radon emanation from phosphogypsum and related mineral samples in Cyprus 

      Lysandrou, Michaela; Charalambides, Antonios; Pashalidis, Ioannis (2007)
      Radon emanation rates from phosphogypsum samples have been determined to assess the radiological impact of radon emanated from a phosphogypsum disposal site. For comparison corresponding measurements were conducted with ...
