To reflect the local rock type variation with depth, we first updated the typical mineralogy based brittleness calculation formulas.
Prediction of soil mineralogy based on liquid limit of the soil yielded a wide range of correlation coefficients between the measured and calculated values.
The LREE concentrations in the serpentine phase are higher than those expected for the primary mantle mineralogy (olivine, orthopyroxene) based on data from relic clinopyroxenes and equilibrium partition coefficients.
The mineralogy of Vesta, based on data obtained by the Dawn Mission (De Sanctis et al. 2012), is consistent with HED achondrites and confirmed the presence of the proposed layered crust model (Takeda 1979).
More systematic miner-alogical descriptions would be desired if mechanistic pathways are to be discussed based on mineralogy.
In general, this process consumes large quantities of sulphuric acid when based on oxide mineralogy.
Methods to estimate ANRnc, based on silicate mineralogy and solution assays from long-term column leach tests, are compared.
The list of minerals used in this study was chosen based on the mineralogy of meteorites, interplanetary dust particles and Stardust samples.
However, no work has been conducted to compare the China shale plays with other mature shale plays in the North America using multiple experimental methods based on the mineralogy analysis and organic geochemistry.
On the other hand, traditional guidelines, based on bulk mineralogy, might suggest treatment with mild or moderate strength HF for low total chlorite content regardless of the clay distribution in the pore space (Coulter and Jennings 1997).
