“…In the C 1s region, both COS and Na-COS exhibited two signals at 285.0 eV and 289.6 eV, due to C-H and carbonate groups, respectively [29]. The Ca 2p of COS and Na-COS exhibited a doublet with a separation of 3.5 eV, 2p1/2, and 2p3/2 components, whose binding energy (BE) values were 347.00 eV, 350.5 eV, and 346.3 eV, 349.8 eV, respectively, suggesting that the Ca was associated with CaO [30,31]. In the O 1s spectra, both COS and Na-COS displayed doublet peaks; however, the intensity Figure 3 presented C 1s, Ca 2p, O 1s, and Na 1s regions for COS (bottom) and Na-COS (top).…”
