The paper presents research on chloride minerals of natural origin from Kłodawa (Poland), i.e., colorless, blue and purple halite as well colorless sylvite. Selected samples were studied by chemical analysis (ICP-OES, ICP-MS, titration methods) crystallographic measurements. Then, for the tested halides, was carried out using far-infrared spectroscopy. Spectroscopic studies confirmed simple way...

As Australia and the world transition to net zero emissions, hydrogen will continue grow in importance as a clean energy source, with underground storage (UHS) expected be key component of this new industry. Salt (halite) caverns are preferred option for hydrogen, given their scale, stability high injection withdrawal rates they can support. The use salt storing gas is an established industry N...

Despite the fact that phyllosilicates are ubiquitous in mature fault and shear zones, little is known about the strength of phyllosilicate-bearing fault rocks under brittle–ductile transitional conditions where cataclasis and solution-transfer processes are active. In this study we explored steady-state strength behaviour of a simulated fault rock, consisting of muscovite and halite, using brin...

Total suspended sediments and the total dissolved solids (TDS) from three river gaging stations, near Delaware Water Gap, Riegelsville and Trenton on the Delaware River measured by the USGS were used to estimate the physical erosion, chemical weathering and total denudation rates of the Delaware River Basin. The denudation rates are 28 and 128 tons/km 2 /yr for the upper stream and downstream s...
