Mineral Land Rights provides a wealth of information, and Levonne Louie’s 35+ years of land experience place her in a unique position to deliver all fundamental concepts of mineral land in an intelligent yet concise and easy-to-read format." – Joan Dornian, oil and gas lawyer "Accurate, informative, plain-language explanations of any regulatory field ought to be welcome contributions to any literature. Levonne Louie’s new book certainly fits this bill." -Fenner Stewart, Assistant Professor of Law at the University of Calgary, in Resources: Canadian Institute of Resources Law Mineral land is one of the most basic components of the oil and gas industry, but it’s often misunderstood. If you’re a landowner, do you know which rights you have and what to do if an oil and gas company approaches you to lease or drill on your land? If you’re an oil and gas industry professional, are you lacking critical knowledge about mineral land that could enhance the work you do every day? Mineral Land Rights: What You Need to Know is a concise, jargon-free and definitive guide that simplifies a complex subject, written by a true expert in the field.

Free Download Mineral Scale Formation and Inhibition By George H. Nancollas, Anita Zieba (auth.), Dr. Zahid Amjad M.Sc., Ph.D. (eds.)
1995 | 354 Pages | ISBN: 1489914021 | PDF | 14 MB
This book documents the proceedings of the symposium, "Mineral Scale Formation and Inhibition," held at the American Chemical Society Annual Meeting August 21 to 26, 1994, in Washington, D. C. The symposium, sponsored by the Division of Colloid and Surface Chemistry, was held in honor of Professor George H. Nancollas for his pioneering work in the field of crystal growth from solution. A total of 30 papers were presented by a wide spectrum of scientists. This book also includes papers that were not presented but were in the symposium program. The separation of a solid by crystallization is one of the oldest and perhaps the most frequently used operations in chemistry. Because of its widespread applicability, in recent years there has been considerable interest exhibited by academic and industrial scientists in understanding the mechanisms of crystallization of sparingly soluble salts. The salt systems of great interest in industrial water treatment area (i. e. , cooling and boiler) include carbon ates, sulfates, phosphates, and phosphonates of alkaline earth metals. Although not as common as calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate, barium and strontium sulfates have long plagued oil field and gas production operations. The build-up of these sparingly soluble salts on equipment surfaces results in lower heat transfer efficiency, increased corrosion rates, increased pumping costs, etc. In the laundry application, insoluble calcium carbonate tends to accumulate on washed fabrics and washing equipment parts, resulting in undesirable fabric-encrustation or scaling.

Free Download Current Trends in Mineral-Based Products and Utilization of Wastes: Recent Studies from India
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031504011 | 312 Pages | PDF (True) | 11 MB
Minerals are essential commodities for the growth of mankind, and all the progress of humanity owes unequivocally to minerals. However, winning minerals through mining has always been cursed, and mankind has paid a heavy price for mining in the form of great loss of flora and fauna and unprecedented impact on the environment. Notwithstanding any arguments either in favor or against, one cannot deny that for the progression, advancement, and security of nations mining is indispensable, compulsory, and unavoidable trade. It is in the best interest of every stakeholder; a sustainable approach to mining must be adopted. Sustainability has many dimensions, two most important being: the optimum utilization of mined-out materials and creating value-added products from the mining wastes. Taking a cue from this, an international seminar was organized on "Prospectsand Challenges of Mineral Based Products and Utilization of Wastes for the ‘Make in India’ Initiative" at Hotel Radisson Blu from 10-12 November 2022. The conference was attended by about 120 delegates from all over India. This book is a compilation of selected papers presented during the conference, broadly divided into the following groups: (a) rare earth elements, (b) ferrous minerals, © non-ferrous minerals, (d) industrial minerals, (e) waste utilization and valorization and (f) other significant contributions. Written by experts and edited by academicians and technocrats, this book promises to be a valuable and essential reading for professionals, researchers, as well as students.
