Impact ejecta from the Albion Formation are exposed in northern Belize. The ejecta come from the outer portion of the continuous ejecta blanket of the Chicxulub crater, which is located 360 km to the northwest. The basal unit of the Albion Formation is a 3⁄41-m-thick clay and dolomite spheroid bed composed of up to four discrete flows. The clay spheroids are altered impact glass, and the dolomi...

Uncertainty and sensitivity analysis results obtained in the 1996 performance assessment (PA) for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) are presented for two-phase flow in the vicinity of the repository under disturbed conditions resulting from drilling intrusions. Techniques based on Latin hypercube sampling, examination of scatterplots, stepwise regression analysis, partial correlation analy...

A three stage flotation scheme was employed to beneficiate a low grade. high dolomitic phosphate ore from Florida. The reagent scheme used. developed on the basis of our previous fundamental studies. consisted of oleic acid added as collector. mineral oil and ethoxylated sulfonate as co-collectors and 1. hydroxy ethylidene 1.1diphosphonic acid (Dequest 2010) as francolite depressant. The three ...

The pine nut from the stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is the most important edible fruit in mediterranean forests. Despite this fact, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the application of agronomy techniques in stands of this species to increase pine nut production. Our study focuses on the effect of mineral fertilization on cone production and size, which in turn, are closely related to nut yi...

introduction thermal infrared integrated dust index (tiidi) is one of indices that is presented in this direction. the index operates based on four brightness temperature difference including wavelengths 3.7, 8.6, 11 and 12 micrometer. according to the studies, btd (bt12-bt11) is used for cloud detection. btd (bt8.6-bt11) is the index for separation for dust from sandy surface and btd (bt3.7-bt...

In this study, production possibility of glass and glass-ceramic produced from granite was investigated. The composition of granite based glass bath mixture was 50 wt% granite, 25 wt% dolomite and 25 wt% sodium carbonate. Composition that was grounded and mixed in a ball mill for 2 h was melted at 1500 ◦C for 1 h. Glass samples were heat treated for crystallization to produce glass-ceramic mate...

Calcium carbonate and calcium-magnesium carbonate in the form of limestone, dolomite, marl, chalk, and Oyster shell are one of the most widely utilized non-metallic materials in the industrial world. The largest use of limestone or calcium carbonate is in the cement industry where it is used as a source of CaO and also in the concrete industry where it is used as the primary coarse aggregate. F...

DSDP/ODP porewater profiles in organic carbon-bearing (< 5% org. C) sediments commonly show decreases in Ca concentrations and increases in alkalinity over depths where sulphate is being removed by microbial reduction. These Ca depletion profiles represent the combined effect of diffusion, advection and reaction (addition by ion exchange and removal by precipitation mainly as CaCO3 and/or dolom...
