Many metals can be extracted from ores that are mainly carbonates. As mentioned earlier in the chapter, even in the Middle Ages mining engineers were able to test rocks for the presence of carbonates using hydrochloric acid. In school chemistry, many salts can be made simply from carbonates that are insoluble in water. To a dilute solution of the acid, the carbonate is added in small portions until there is no more gas given off and an obvious excess is seen.

Unlike storage in reservoirs or aquifers which rely on natural voids in porous and permeable rocks, with storage in salt caverns, the gas is stored in man-made, solution-mined caverns. Geology is only the starting point, and engineers design and construct the project.

The studies on the basic principles of engineering and process design were done at Imperial ColleM in England subsequent demonstration on pilot plants was done by industrial companies in England," by the U.S. Bureau of Mines at Salt Lake City, and by the National Institute for Metalluigy (now MINTEK)...
