Graphitic Carbon
December 2014, Vol. 10, No. 6
In natural systems, graphitic carbons are widespread and exhibit an infinite range of structure, from amorphous-like compounds (e.g. soots, charcoal) to crystalline graphite through a myriad of turbostratic structures (e.g. coals, kerogens). A variety of structures and chemistries down to the nanometer scale control the physicochemical properties of graphitic carbons and determine their behavior and fate during geological processes. This issue of Elements presents recent advances in our understanding of the formation of graphitic carbons (graphitization, fluid deposition) and discusses their role as actors and/or tracers in cosmochemistry, geobiology, geochemistry, and petrology. In particular, graphitic carbons may carry an important biological legacy in rocks, they may be used for assessing the thermal history of rocks, and they buffer the chemical composition of fluids in equilibrium with rocks. The issue also presents an introduction to the new carbon nanomaterials (e.g. graphene, carbon nanotubes), which bear structural similarities to natural graphitic carbons, and to their technological applications.

$20.00Arsenic is an element known throughout history as a classic poison. Currently, very small but highly significant concentrations of this element in drinking water supplies are causing massive health problems to many millions of people in some of the world’s poorest nations, and more localised sources related to mining and processing are also a concern.

Medical Mineralogy And Geochemistry, December 2007, Vol. 3, No. 6
$20.00Medical mineralogy and geochemistry is an emergent, highly interdisciplinary field concerned with both normal and pathological interactions between minerals or amorphous inorganic solids and biomolecules or cells within the human body, and the transport and fate of prions and protein toxins in the soil environment. Prior research has, appropriately, focused on the complex genetic and molecular biological aspects, but there is a growing recognition of the vital need for understanding the surface and bulk properties and reactivities, especially at the challenging nanoscale characteristic of biomacromolecules and biominerals.
