The hydrogen economy is one of the possible directions development for European Union economy, which in perspective 2050, can ensure climate neutrality member states. use on a larger scale requires creation storage system. Due to necessary volumes, best sites are geological structures (salt caverns, oil and gas deposits or aquifers). This article presents an analysis prospects large-scale under...

Salt giants are large-scale, basin-wide deposits formed sporadically in the geological past, from early Paleozoic to late Cenozoic. Their role as sinks for seawater dissolved ions is well known, however biogeochemical conditions that accompany salt giant formation and their effects on carbon cycling remain poorly constrained. Here we show massive gypsum of Mediterranean – youngest Earth a parti...

The discovery of lithium in the Salar de Atacama northern Chile 1969 laid foundations for development world’s leading brine deposit. available background on deposits located and Maricunga salt flats indicates reserves 10,879,000 tons lithium, to which resources are added 3,335,100 identified 9 additional Andean pre-Andean flats. future exploration is also auspicious considering that there infor...

In this research, the thermophilic microbial composition of samples from four areas Tecozautla geyser, Hidalgo, Mexico, was studied. The were: sediments (GD), salt deposits (GA), and mats (GB GC). Sequencing 16S rRNA gene amplicons carried out, obtaining 1,425,506 readings. Bioinformatic analysis identified 32 phyla in being most representative for GA Armatimonadetes, Chloroflexi, Cyanobacteria...

Biosurfactants can be used for bioremediation as amphiphilic compounds that have shown good tolerance to changes in temperature, salt concentration, pH, and other environmental factors. They received increased attention because they are biodegradable do not generate any secondary contaminants. remove organic molecules example hydrocarbon contaminants through various mechanisms such surface tens...

The demand for “green” metals such as lithium is increasing the world works to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. More than half of world’s resources are contained in lithium-brine deposits, including salt flats, or “salars”, Andean region South America, also known Lithium Triangle. genesis deposits largely driven by leaching from source rocks watersheds, transport via groundwater systems sal...

Records of past changes in lake levels and lake water isotopic composition in closed basins provide key insights into past variations in the hydrological cycle; however, these records are often limited by dating precision and temporal resolution. Here we present data from lacustrine cave carbonates, a previously unexplored class of carbonates that comprise a promising new archive of past hydrol...

Dear Editor, Deposits, composed mainly of calcium-containing mixtures or inflammatory cells [1-4], may form on the surface of an intraocular lens (IOL) implanted during cataract surgery. In severe cases, a significant decrease in visual acuity may necessitate IOL replacement [1]. In this case report, we describe a patient who had refractory deposits on an IOL that spontaneously disappeared afte...

Abstract In this article, demulsifiers used to break down the oil emulsions of our local fields were studied, comparing their effectiveness. The effect demulsifier and amount water extracted from analyzed using deposition centrifuge methods. positive temperature increase on efficiency was also optimal values for today are compared. resulting composition reduces formation salt sediments in proce...
