The isotopic composition and mass balances of sources and sinks of sulfur are used to constrain the limnological–hydrological evolution of the last glacial Lake Lisan (70–14 ka BP) and the Holocene Dead Sea. Lake Lisan deposited large amounts of primary gypsum during discrete episodes of lake level decline. This gypsum, which appears in massive or laminated forms, displays dS values in the rang...

This study focuses on the economization of natural anhydrite, which has a wide range uses and is environmentally friendly, in Türkiye. Anhydrite, one most common evaporitic minerals world, almost no usage area Evaporite deposits consisting gypsum, halite, bassanite selenite are prominent country, especially Tertiary period sedimentary basins. The Sivas basin these important Mining operates carr...

In insects, perception of chemical stimuli is involved in the acceptance or rejection of food. Gustatory receptors (Grs) that regulate external signals in chemosensory organs have been found in many insects. Tribolium castaneum, a major pest of stored products, possesses over 200 Gr genes. An expanded repertoire of Gr genes appears to be required for diet recognition in species that are general...

Please cite this article in press as: Brinck, E., Fr doi:10.1016/j.apgeochem.2009.09.001 Gypsum and S are applied to soils being irrigated with Na–HCO3 dominated coalbed natural gas (CBNG) produced water to protect soil structure and fertility. Wyoming law requires beneficial use of produced water and irrigation with CBNG produced water in the semi-arid Powder River Basin is becoming more commo...

Consistent use of high RSC water may deteriorate the physical properties of soil and increases pH and SAR of soil. Continuous use may reduce germination / the establishment of seedling, retards plant growth and leads to a significant reduction in yield. Therefore, a field experiment in microplots was displayed at research plot in St. John’s College, Agra to study the effect of sodic water on th...

The potential for mineral scaling that may limit the generation of new potable water resources by reverse osmosis (RO), from inland brackish water of high gypsum scaling propensity, was experimentally explored via flux decline measurements and real-time RO membrane surface imaging. Antagonistic gypsum and calcium carbonate scaling kinetics were demonstrated for high-sulfate brackish water desal...

Even though a lot of research has been carried out concerning the preparation of carbonate apatite (CHA), they were related to CHA in the form of powder. In the present study, macroporous CHA bone substitutes were prepared through composition-transformation of gypsum and Ca-hydroxide. Here, we investigated the effect of added Ca-hydroxide to gypsum, carbonation periods, and hydrothermal tempera...

To evaluate the effect of gypsum and manure on the yield and quality of sugarcane and properties of sodic soils, an experiment was conducted on farmer’s field at Dosehra area, District Charsadda during Kharif 2004. Ten treatments comprised of control (T1), gypsum @ 25 % of the soil requirement (T2), gypsum @ 50 % (T3), gypsum @ 75 % (T4), gypsum @ 100 % (T5), farm yard manure (FYM) @ 20 tons ha...

An Ultic Haploxeralf soil collected from ridges built into the slopes of the Coastal Mountain Range of Central Chile was used in applications of humic and fulvic acids (HFA) extracted from sludge from sewage treatment plants, in combination with gypsum (CaSO4). A total of 12 treatments were applied by combining four doses of HFA (0, 20, 30 and 40 t ha-1) with three doses of gypsum (0, 1.2 and 6...
