Notes. Column 9 indicates the percentage of S goes into solid OCS (mOCS) or solid H2S (mH2S) at the end of Phase I, and Col. 10 the percentage of S+ goes into mOCS or mH2S at the end of Phase I.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
