Salina formation

Solution mining produced nearly 23 million metric tons of salt in 1989 representing more than half of the total U.S. salt production (14). Salt brine is made from bedded salt at more than 18 different locations and from 17 salt domes (15). Bedded salt of the salina formation is the most widely and intensively exploited by solution mining. Enormous reserves of salina salt are available. Cost of solution mining salt is usually less than the cost of salt produced by dry mining. The method is particularly good where salt deposits are deep and dry mining would not be feasible.

Within each of the two classical domains, bacteria and eucarya, reciprocal combinations of ribosomal subunits from distantly related organisms yield synthetically active hybrid ribosomes [174-176], In contrast, formation of hybrid particles from eucaryal and bacterial ribosomal subunits appears to be subject to severe constraints [174], One case of hybrid monosome formation from subunits of bacterial E. coli) and eucaryal ribosomes Artemia salina) has been reported by Boublik et al. [177] hybrid ribosomes (73S), however, were assembled only from Artemia 40S subunits and E. coli SOS subunits, and only at levels (30mM) considerably higher -about twofold - than those (ISIS mM) normally required for poly(U)-directed poly(Phe) synthesis in both bacterial and eucaryal cell-free systems.

Thus D. salina provides an experimental system in which prokaryotic galac-tolipid biosynthesis can be examined with a virtual absence of eukaryotic galactolipid formation. A further experimental asset is that radioactivity administered in the form of C-16 0 remains entirely within Cjg fatty acids, saturated and unsaturated, and that fed as C-18 l is recovered only in... 

This very large halite/potash deposit has many aquifers that contain a high-calcium chloride brine (Table 2.4 Figs. 2.3 and 2.4) both above and below the Silurian Salina Group s halite (NaCl) and 33,700 km (13,000 mi ) potash (sylvinite, a mixture of NaCl and KCl) deposits. The major aquifers are the overlying Devonian carbonate and sandstone beds, but there are also many lesser aquifers (Fig. 2.7). There is an extensive area of strong calcium chloride brine directly over the potash deposit and extending to the south southeast (Fig. 2.4) in the first porous bed above the potash (the Sylvania Sandstone Formation) that is at...
