1. Introduction. Gypsum-salt rock, composed mainly of gypsum and anhydrite with small amounts of rock salt, salt minerals, dolomite, and some other constituents, is one of the major evaporite rock types (Calaforra and Gazquez, 2017; Benamara et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2017).Due to the characteristics of gypsum salt, such …
Gypsum is commonly applied as an ameliorant but there are few field studies into its long-term (> 10 years) effects on soil chemistry, especially at depths greater than 0.4 m, and no long-term ...
This variety does not much occur in India but countries like Turkey, Egypt, Oman, Thailand, etc. have substantial occurrence of natural anhydrite. In general the gypsum that occurs in nature is called mineral gypsum. In addition to mineral gypsum occurring in gypsum mines, gypsum is recovered from salt pans during production of common salt in c...
To recover REEs from PG, firstly, the occurrence of REEs should be made clear. The general occurrence of REEs in PG has been found as the stable REEs independent minerals including monazite, xenotime 15, 16 and the unstable phases dominated by the isomorphs substitution. 6, 17 The REEs mineral inclusions are difficult …
