Composites history

Summary Provides detailed information about the composition, history, effect, uses and abuses of common drugs, including illegal drugs and addictive substances, as well as commonly abused classes of prescription drugs. 

Efforts aimed at overcoming the limitations have resulted in methods that range from modified classical treatments to new formulations. Because detailed chemical descriptions were not yet available, the work of Frenkiel (5) on the Los Angeles basin stresses diffusive aspects of the problem by treating plume trajectories from a collection of puff sources. Other early work (20) used simplified chemistry in an analog computer solution for composition histories in a network of homogeneously mixed cells. The horizontal faces of each cell were assumed to be the inversion base and the ground, respectively. This approach some-...

Figure 13.31 shows the surfactant composition histories at the effluent end when 1.5% sodium carbonate was added. We can see that all the surfactants with different carbon chains and those with the second carbon chain replaced by the benzene ring flowed out earlier than without the alkali (refer to Figure 13.30). Cio, Cn, and C12 and the ones with their second carbon replaced by benzene ring flowed almost at the same velocity. The flow velocities of C13 and the one with the second carbon replacement changed. This figure shows that the alkali changed the rock surface properties and thus changed the chromatographic separation.

Figure 13.32 shows the surfactant composition histories at the effluent end when 0.1% HPAM was added. All the surfactants flowed more slowly. Figure 13.33 shows the synergistic effect of alkali and polymer that reduced chromatographic separation significantly. 

Calcite cement is the dominant cement type in the central basin. Cemented zones can be visually recognized in cores and are from 10 cm to, in a few cases, more than 1 m thick (Boles Ramseyer, 1987). Cement zones cannot be easily traced between wells spaced as close as 100 m, suggesting that the intensely cemented zones are relatively isolated and discontinuous, certainly on a basin scale and in most cases on a reservoir scale. Most cement zones have not been studied in sufficient detail to establish growth patterns. A few detailed analyses of individual zones show that some have a composite history (i.e. variable isotopic compositions) on a scale of less than 0.5 m (e.g. cement zone at North Coles Levee, well NCL 488-29, 2621 m depth), whereas others show little variation (Schultz et al., 1989). Systematic growth patterns, such as are typical for concretions in shales (e.g. Raiswell, 1971 Boles et al., 1985) or in concretions that coalesce to form continuous cemented beds (Bjor-kum Walderhaug, 1990), have not been recognized in the zones studied to date. Apart from extensively cemented zones, calcite occurs as scattered crystals in many samples. 

The question of how long subsurface cementation continues can be constrained in the San Joaquin basin as well as anywhere, owing to the young age of the strata. However, in spite of the brief and simple burial history of the San Joaquin basin, the relatively well constrained fluid composition history and the relatively well documented geochemistry of its carbonate cements, we still cannot determine the growth time of a given cement zone to any better than perhaps 100 000 years or less.

A few remarks need to be made. The doxology at the end of the book was most probably added by the final redactor of the Book of Micah. This view is, of course, in need of an argument. It is, however, not the aim of this contribution to sketch the redactional and compositional history of the Book of Micah or to discuss the question whether or not the redactional process concurred with...
