Abstract Phosphates, and especially potash, play an essential role in the increase crop yields. Potash is mined Germany underground mines using a conventional drill-and-blast technique. The most commercially valuable mineral contained potash potassium chloride that separated from aboveground processing plants. plants perform economically best if amount of output equal to specific value, so-call...

We examine several issues related to peridotite partial melting by composition (Na2O decreases, CaO/Al2O3 increases) are similar to the effects of increasing total extent of melting of a fixed source performing thermodynamic calculations using the MELTS algorithm. composition, and the two phenomena may therefore be difficult to MELTS calculations suggest that the high alkali content of neardisc...

The influence of increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio on the electrochemical action of a waterborne potassium silicate zinc-rich coating was investigated by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and corrosion potential (Ecorr) measurements. The EIS results showed that increasing the SiO2/K2O molar ratio in the range of 3.135 to 5 by the addition of nano-SiO2 to the resins improve...

Bastnaesite, a rare-earth fluocarbonate, was found in the Mountain Pass district in April 1949. Subsequent geologic mapping has shown that rare-earth mineral deposits occur in a belt about 6 miles long and iy2 miles wide. One of the deposits, the Sulphide Queen carbonate body, is the greatest concentration of rare-earth minerals now known in the world. The Mountain Pass district is in a block o...
