The dolomite reservoir in the 5th member of the Ordovician Majiagou Formation (M5) in the Ordos Basin can be divided into two types based on whether or not gypsum is present, i.e., gypsum-bearing and gypsum-free reservoirs. The gypsum-bearing reservoir mainly develops in the 1–4th sub-members of M5 and is composed of micritic to silt-sized dolomite. The main …

Direct physical evidence of dolomite recrystallization

The dolomite phase with the lower amount of Mg may grow faster, but it may also be more soluble, the common scenario of the Ostwald step rule (Morse & Casey, 1988; Sibley, 1990). Stoichiometric dolomite has a lower standard free energy than calcium-rich dolomite (Carpenter, 1980), hence non-stoichiometry is an energetic drive for recrystallization.

Sedimentary rock

Sedimentary rock - Evaporites, Deposits, Minerals: Evaporites are layered crystalline sedimentary rocks that form from brines generated in areas where the amount of water lost by evaporation exceeds the total amount of water from rainfall and influx via rivers and streams. The mineralogy of evaporite rocks is complex, with almost 100 varieties possible, but …

Anhydrite

The name "anhydrite" comes from the Greek and means "stone without water". Unlike the chemically related gypsum, anhydrite does not contain water. Anhydrite usually occurs in coarse-grained, massive aggregates, but can also form cubic and prismatic crystals up to about 20 cm in size. In its pure state, anhydrite is transparent and colorless.

Lithium Production Processes

Using McDermitt B clay containing 0.64% Li, several methods were applied to extract lithium including multiple-reagent roast—water leach, sulfur dioxide roast—water leach, …

What Is Lithium Extraction and How Does It Work?

Depending upon the desired product, different reagents may be applied to produce other commonly sold forms of lithium, such as lithium hydroxide, lithium chloride, lithium bromide, and butyl lithium. Once the lithium extraction process is complete, the remaining brine solution is returned to the underground reservoir.

In this study, we employed geochemical compositional analysis, strontium isotope analysis, and high-temperature and high-pressure experiments on the brine and its …

New insights into the influence of mineral surface …

The adsorption of dissolved ions from one mineral onto the surface of another mineral induces a transformation in the surface of the adsorbing mineral, resulting in an augmented similarity between their surface properties [16].When the pH of apatite (Ca 5 (PO 4) 3 (F,Cl,OH)) and calcite (CaCO 3) pulp is less than 9.8, the CO 3 2-dissolved on calcite will …
