The element is much more abundant than was thought several years ago. It is now considered to be the 16th most abundant element in the earth s crust. Rubidium occurs in pollucite, leucite, and zinnwaldite, which contains traces up to 1%, in the form of the oxide. It is found in lepidolite to the extent of about 1.5%, and is recovered commercially from this source. Potassium minerals, such as those found at Searles Lake, California, and potassium chloride recovered from the brines in Michigan also contain the element and are commercial sources. It is also found along with cesium in the extensive deposits of pollucite at Bernic Lake, Manitoba. 

A member of the halogen group of elements, it is obtained from natural brines from wells in Michigan and Arkansas. Little bromine is extracted today from seawater, which contains only about 85 ppm. 

This book grew out of a collection of technical-support web pages. Those pages were also posted to the computational chemistry list server maintained by the Ohio Supercomputer Center. Many useful comments came from the subscribers of that list. In addition, thanks go to Dr. James F. Harrison at Michigan State University for providing advice born of experience.

Time Manufacture. Limestone is consumed at the rate of 32-34 x 10 t/yr in the manufacture of lime. About 75% of the tonnage is captively produced in the United States. The balance is shipped from quarries in northern Michigan and British Columbia in large ore boats or barges. The Hmestone lime ratio is ca 2 1.

A number of pool, also called swimming pool, reactors have been built at educational institutions and research laboratories. The core in these reactors is located at the bottom of a large pool of water, 6 m deep, suspended from a bridge. The water serves as moderator, coolant, and shield. An example is the Lord nuclear reactor at the University of Michigan, started in 1957. The core is composed of fuel elements, each having 18 aluminum-clad plates of 20% enriched uranium. It operates at 2 MW, giving a thermal flux of 3 x 10 (cm -s). The reactor operates almost continuously, using a variety of beam tubes, for research purposes. 

Properties. The composition of shale oil has depended on the shale from which it was obtained as well as on the retorting method by which it was produced. Properties of shale oils from various locations are given in Table 8. A comparison of a Green River shale oil and a Michigan Antrim shale oil, retorted under similar conditions, is given in Table 9.
