Batch Melting Inversion of Whole-rock Residues... 

In the context of non-modal (eutectic) batch melting, the variation in the concentration of a trace element in a whole-rock residue,, is given by Shaw (1970) as... 

The linear regression method, or slope-intercept method (Zou, 1997), for whole-rock residues can only be applied to modal batch melting. For elements a (highly incompatible) and b (not-so-highly incompatible), their concentrations in the residue during modal batch melting, and, respectively, are given by... 

If residual peridotites are pervasively serpentinized, the whole-rock residues would be unsuitable for inversion of partial melting. In most... 

The results from a typical injectivity test are given in Figure 12 where resistance factor (RF) and residual resistance factor (RRF) are plotted versus the number of pore volumes of polymer and brine injected. Resistance factor is the mobility of brine (k/p) divided by the mobility of polymer and is a measure of the reduced Injection rate the polymer produces in a given reservoir rock. Residual resistance factor is the mobility of brine before polymer injection divided by the mobility of brine after polymer injection. Thus, a permeability reduction of 99 percent corresponds to an RRF of 100. 

A mixed slope is composed of both soil and rock. Residual soil, weathered soil, or colluvial soil overlies rock on this type of slope. If the dip directions of the surface between soil and rock and that of the slope gradient are similar, groundwater flow along this surface can be a critical component in failure. 

Field analogues should be based on reservoir rock type (e.g. tight sandstone, fractured carbonate), fluid type, and environment of deposition. This technique should not be overlooked, especially where little information is available, such as at the exploration stage. Summary charts such as the one shown in Figure 8.19 may be used in conjunction with estimates of macroscopic sweep efficiency (which will depend upon well density and positioning, reservoir homogeneity, offtake rate and fluid type) and microscopic displacement efficiency (which may be estimated if core measurements of residual oil saturation are available). 

As a special development in recent years, SEMs have been designed which no longer necessitate high vacuum (enviromnental SEM, ESEM variable pressure SEM, VPSEM). This development is important for the imaging of samples with a residual vapour pressure, such as aqueous biological or medical samples, but also samples in materials science (wet rock) or organic chemistry (polymers). 

Flake Mica. Flake mica is mined from weathered and hard rock pegmatites, granodiorite, and schist and gneiss by conventional open-pit methods. In soft, residual material, dozers, shovels, scrapers, and front-end loaders are used to mine the ore. Often kaolin, quartz, and feldspar are recovered along with the mica (see also Clays Silicon compounds). 

Large amounts of tar or pitch by-products are produced by industrial processes. The distillation of cmde petroleum (qv) yields a pitch-like residue termed bitumen or asphalt (qv). In the United States, these terms are interchangeable, but in Europe the term asphalt is generally restricted to naturally occurring rock or lake asphalt, whereas the residual product of cmde-od distillation is termed bitumen. Although these are important industrial materials produced in millions of metric tons annually, they are not included herein (see Asphalt Petroleum, products). 

Barite [13462-86-7], natural barium sulfate, BaSO, commonly known as barytes, and sometimes as heavy spar, tiU, or cawk, occurs in many geological environments in sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic rocks. Commercial deposits are of three types vein and cavity filling deposits residual deposits and bedded deposits. Most commercial sources are replacement deposits in limestone, dolomitic sandstone, and shales, or residual deposits caused by differential weathering that result in lumps of barite enclosed in clay. Barite is widely distributed and has minable deposits in many countries. 

Phosphate rock, mined widely throughout the world for its fertilizer value (see Fertilizers), in certain regions contains a few percent of lanthanides. For example, the apatite deposits in the Kola peninsula on the Russian/Finnish border. The Ln content is recoverable from the various processing residues, and because other Ln-containing minerals, such as loparite [12173-83-0], are also found there, the location suppHes a significant part of the demand in Eastern Europe. 

The Sturtevant air separator Stuiicvant Inc.) incorporates a hydrauhc mechanism to adjust the width of the ring baffle over the spinner blades, which allows adjusting the separation cui ve within limits, at some cost in production rate. For example, the residue on 74- Im screen can be varied from 1 to 20 percent, with a production rate shown in Table 20-20 for cement rock. 

Figure 1 illustrates the IR spectra of NBR and HNBR samples with different concentrations of residual double bonds [11]. The CN stretching vibration is observed at 2222 cm in NBR and HNBR. The peak at 1440 cm is for C—H deformation of —CH2— groups. The =C—H out of plane deformations of trans, vinyl, and cis double bonds are observed at 970 cm", 920 cm", and 730 cm", respectively. These peak absorbances decrease gradually, and a new peak at 723 cm" appears on the spectrum of HNBR for—CH2— rocking vibration [when (CH2)n n > 4] [11,78]. The CN stretching vibration is taken as an internal standard and the... 

Soil reaction (pH) The relationship between the environment and development of acid or alkaline conditions in soil has been discussed with respect to formation of soils from the parent rock materials. Soil acidity comes in part by the formation of carbonic acid from carbon dioxide of biological origin and water. Other acidic development may come from acid residues of weathering, shifts in mineral types, loss of alkaline or basic earth elements by leaching, formation of organic or inorganic acids by microbial activity, plant root secretions, and man-made pollution of the soil, especially by industrial wastes. 

Copper, Cu, is unreactive enough for some to be found as the metal, but most is produced from its sulfides, particularly the ore cbalcopyrite, CuFeS2 (Fig. 16.10). The crushed and ground ore is separated from excess rock by froth flotation, a process that depends on the ability of sulfide ores to be wetted by oils but not by water. In this process, the powdered ore is combined with oil, water, and detergents (Fig. 16.1 l). Then air is blown through the mixture the oil-coated sulfide mineral floats to the surface with the froth, and the unwanted copper-poor residue, which is called gangue, sinks to the bottom. 

Dissolution of CaCOs is a congruent reaction the entire mineral is weathered and results completely in soluble products. The above reaction is driven to the right by an increase of CO2 partial pressure and by the removal of the Ca and/or bicarbonate. Any impurities present in the calcareous rock, such as silicates, oxides, organic compounds, and others, are left as residue. As the calcium and bicarbonate leach...
