As a side benefit, it can be used to reduce the amount of salt in underground water tables, leading to an improvement in the surrounding land usage for agriculture. Due to its nature, it is only commercially possible in areas that have large reserves of saline groundwater, such as Australia .
Oil sand tailings or oil sands process-affected water (OSPW), have a highly variable composition and a complex mixture of compounds. [4] In his oft-cited 2008 journal article, E. W. Allen wrote that typically tailings ponds consist of c. 75% water, c. 25% sand, silt and clay, c.2% of residual bitumen, as well as dissolved salts, organics, and minerals.
The Dead Sea salt ponds in the West Bank, Israel and Jordan. The salt ponds in Salina, Malta. The name of the village is the Maltese word for salt pan. The Port Hedland, Dampier, Lake McLeod, Useless Loop and Onslow salt ponds in Western Australia. Yellow Walls, Malahide, Ireland; active from 1770 to 1837. [10] Lake Grassmere in New Zealand
A shale gas well being drilled by a drilling rig in Pennsylvania. Produced water is a term used in the oil industry or geothermal industry to describe water that is produced as a byproduct during the extraction of oil and natural gas, [1] or used as a medium for heat extraction.
Oil dispersant mechanism of action. An oil dispersant is a mixture of emulsifiers and solvents that helps break oil into small droplets following an oil spill.Small droplets are easier to disperse throughout a water volume, and small droplets may be more readily biodegraded by microbes in the water.
The South Bay Salt Works, a Californian saltern, with salt ponds.. A saltern is an area or installation for making salt.Salterns include modern salt-making works (saltworks), as well as hypersaline waters that usually contain high concentrations of halophilic microorganisms, primarily haloarchaea but also other halophiles including algae and bacteria.
The Roswell, New Mexico tests proved that outdoor ponds could be run with extremely high efficiency of CO 2 utilization. Careful control of pH and other physical conditions for introducing CO 2 into the ponds allowed greater than 90% utilization. Single day production reported over the course of one year was as high as 50 grams (1.8 oz) of ...
Mallard II moving mud, with its bucket outstretched. Mallard II is a wooden-hulled clamshell dredger [2] used to maintain levees on the San Francisco Bay Salt Ponds. [3] [4] Mallard II was constructed in 1936, [5]: 45 and is "probably the oldest operating dredge in California"; [6]: 51 she is owned and operated by Cargill Salt.
