The results of the studies of the physicochemical properties and genesis of asphaltites from the deposits of the Orenburg region are considered. Based on the data of a study on the distribution of hydrocarbon biomarkers (n-alkanes, isoprenanes, steranes, and terpanes), it was found that deposit formation occurred in carbonate layers under reducing conditions. The distribution of steranes and terpanes confirmed a sufficient maturity of the asphaltite. The C28/C29 sterane ratio of 0.31 corresponds to Silurian age according to Grantham or to Silurian–Devonian age according to the pregnane coefficient (a ratio of the sum of C21–C22 pregnanes to the sum of C21–C22 pregnanes and C27–C29 regular steranes) of 9.0%. Thus, it is likely that asphaltites from the Ivanovk deposit in the Orenburg region were redeposited in Silurian/Devonian source rock formations.

In this work, we evaluate the physicochemical properties of Sr[Formula: see text]BaxMMoO6 (M [Formula: see text] Mg, Mn, Fe) double perovskites as alternative anode materials for solid oxide fuel cells, for which the effect of substitution of strontium by barium in a full range of compositions is studied. The crystal structure, microstructure, characterization of transport properties (electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient) and oxygen content as a function of temperature, as well as chemical stability in oxidizing and reducing conditions are discussed. Fe- and Mo-containing Sr[Formula: see text]BaxFeMoO6 oxides show very high total conductivities with values of 100–1000 S[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm[Formula: see text], while Sr[Formula: see text]BaxMgMoO6 present good redox stability.

Small amounts of iron and manganese are quite common in domestic water supply because of the presence of iron and manganese in the soil and rock formations through which the water passes in reaching the point of use. Iron and manganese is characterized by red-brown staining of bathroom fixtures and laundry, and cause taste and odor problems. Iron and manganese are brought into solution by biological reactions under anaerobic reducing conditions. When the water is exposed to air or oxygen, oxidation of iron and manganese occurs slowly, forming objectionable colloidal precipitates. The deposition of these precipitates will stain plumbing fixtures, interfere with laundering, and cause difficulties in water distribution systems by supporting growth of microorganisms such as clonotrix and crenotrix that can clog pipelines and cause taste and odor problems. Processes in which oxidation is followed by removal of suspended solids can effectively remove soluble iron and manganese from water. Three common processes for removing iron and manganese are: aeration-filtration, chlorination filtration, and potassium permanganate-manganese greensand filtration. This article describes these processes and present result from pilot’s studies of iron and manganese removal from water. Kata kunci : zat besi, mangan, aerasi, kkhlorinasi, filtrasi, mangan zeolit.

Northwest Java Basin (NWJB) is one of the proven hydrocarbon basins in Indonesia. The scope of this paper will focus onthe shales and sandstone interval within Y1 well in Karawang area, NWJB, Indonesia.A cored interval from Y1 well was chosen for an investigation of the clay minerology for the gamma-ray activity and with the purpose of determining how the Spectral Natural Gamma (SNG) log could be used as an indicator of source rock and reservoir quality. The Th/U as a redox indicator is used to assert that the shales are of anoxic conditions of shallow marine environments. Despite the relatively high insoluble Th values (60-74.15) ppm, the presence of U in substantial amounts, which only occurs in reducing conditions where it is preserved as a lower insoluble valence (U4+) explains for the low Th/U values ranging between (5.8-7.1) ppm/ppm. The overall Th/U value of the evaluated shales remain less than 25, where Th/U <25 is suggestive of marine sediments, whereas Th/U <4 is indicative of marine black shales of reducing conditions. Although no linear relationship was found between clay content and K, Th, or U, the K content characteristic three discrete reservoir characteristic (RC). The RC-I has predicted a matrix-supported texture with the highest K signal, illite and illitised kaolinite are roughly equal in importance as source of K. The RC-II has predicted a grain-supported texture with intermediate K content. K-feldspar, mica and illite as the main sources. The RC-III has predicted have a low K content with grain-supported texture and most of the K is hosted in feldspar. Overall, the laboratory measurements appear to be applicable to the log data, and, using SEM or XRD, the detail facies subdivision can be extended throughout the source rock and reservoir section based on the SNG log.

The history of petroleum exploration in central Australia has been enlivened by vigorous debate about the source(s) of the oil and condensate found in the Cooper/Eromanga basin couplet. While early workers quickly recognized the source potential of thick Permian coal seams in the Patchawarra and Toolachee Formations, it took some time for the Jurassic Birkhead Formation and the Cretaceous Murta Formation to become accepted as effective source rocks. Although initially an exploration target, the Cambrian sediments of the underlying Warburton Basin subsequently were never seriously considered to have participated in the oil play, possibly due to a lack of subsurface information as a consequence of limited penetration by only a few widely spaced wells. Dismissal of the Warburton sequence as a source of hydrocarbons was based on its low generative potential as measured by total organic carbon (TOC) and Rock-Eval pyrolysis analyses. As most of the core samples analysed came from the upper part of the basin succession that has been subjected to severe weathering and oxidation, these results might not reflect the true nature of the Warburton Basin’s source rocks. We analysed a suite of source rock extracts, DST oils and sequentially extracted reservoir bitumens from the Gidgealpa field for conventional hydrocarbon biomarkers as well as nitrogen-containing carbazoles. The resulting data show that organic facies is the main control on the distribution of alkylated carbazoles in source rock extracts, oils and sequentially extracted bitumens. The distribution pattern of alkylcarbazoles allows to distinguish between rocks of Jurassic, Permian and pre-Permian age, thereby exceeding the specificity of hydrocarbon biomarkers. While no pre-Permian signature can be found in the DST oils, it is present in sequentially extracted residual oils. However, the pre-Permian molecular source signal is diluted beyond recognition during conventional extraction procedures. The bitumens that are characterised by a pre-Permian geochemical signature derive from differing pore-filling oil pulses and exhibit calculated maturities of up to 1.6% Rc, thereby proving for the first time the petroleum generative capability of source rocks in the Warburton Basin.

A detailed study of the palynology and palynofacies of the Fjerritslev Formation (Lower Jurassic - basal Middle Jurassic) has resulted in the definition of four spore/pollen zones and four dinoflagellate cyst zones. The spore/pollen zones are the Corollina - Ricciisporites Zone (Late Rhaetian), the Cerebropollenites macroverrucosus Zone (Sinemurian - Pliensbachian), the Spheripollenites - Leptolepidites Zone (Toarcian), and the Perinopollenites elatoides Zone (Middle Jurassic). The dinoflagellate cyst zones are the Rhaetogonyaulax rhaetica Zone (Rhaetian), the Dapcodinium priscum Zone (latest Rhaetian - earliest Sinemurian), the Liasidium variabile Zone (Sinemurian), and the Nannoceratopsis gracilis Zone (Late Pliensbachian - ?Bajocian/Bathonian). These zones, and the Pinuspollenites - Trachysporites Zone Lund 1977 (Hettangian), are proposed for use in the Danish Subbasin. The combined spore/pollen and dinoflagellate cyst zonation has resulted in a detailed biostratigraphical subdivision of the sequences studied. A new combination, Manumia delcourtii (Pocock 1970) nov. comb. et emend., is proposed here, and the species description emended. New photographs of the holotypes of some of the species erected by Nilsson (1958) are included in the plates. The kerogen assemblages recorded from the Fjerritslev Formation, indicate a marine depositional environment, with a high but variable influence of terrestrially-derived organic particles. Stratigraphic variation in the kerogen assemblages generally correlate with the lithostratigraphical subdivision, and support previous environmental interpretations of the Fjerritslev Formation. Indications of strongly reducing conditions in the bottom waters were found in the Stenlille-2 borehole, in samples here referred to the Early Toarcian. The variations in the kerogen assemblages in the sequence investigated from the Gassum-1 borehole are not correlatable with the other boreholes, but seem primarily to reflect a distinct decrease in bioturbation in the Late Sinemurian. The Fjerritslev Formation does not generally represent a potential source rock for oil. Some levels (parts of the F-111 member) show, however, the characteristics of a fair to good source rock. The organic matter is generally immature or only at the earliest stage of maturity.

In this study, source rock characteristics and lateral changes in thermal maturity of the Sargelu Formation (Middle Jurassic) in three outcrops were studied. The formation’s outcrops can be found in the High Folded, and Imbricated Zones of Iraqi Tectonic Division. In order to achieve the main goals of this study, the Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Rock-Eval pyrolysis were performed on the organic matter (OM) of the Sargelu sediments. Pristane/Phytane ratios for analyzed samples indicate reducing conditions (anoxic) during sedimentation. Moreover, based on  C29/C30 hopanes ratios the sediments of the Sargelu Formation associated with clay- rich source rock. Biomarker thermal maturity parameters display that all samples are thermally in Oil Window at least. The biomarker findings reveal that the samples of Walasimt and Barsarin are seem more mature than Banik section. The values for TOC% of the Sargelu Formation may show Excellent, Very Good, and Poor quality source rock. The Pyrolysis executed for studied samples revealed the kerogen in Banik section belongs to Types II and III (Probably Oil/Gas- prone), while Barsarin and Walasimt sections obtained Types III-IV Kerogen (Gas- prone). Pyrolysis parameters suggested Early Mature Stage in Banik, While Overmature in Barsarin and Walasimt. The data also shows that organic matter of the Sargelu Formation in Banik section is in Oil Widow, while in Barsarin and Walasimt is in Gas Window.

The paper presents the performance of ore beneficiation process carried out on KGHM run-of-mine ore relating to its physicochemical properties. The properties are strongly associated with the lithology of rock formations. The susceptibility of specific lithological fraction occurred in the ore for the beneficiation process is described. Functional relationship between recovery and concentrate grade [ε = f(β)] was developed as the example for one of the KGHM concentrators plants. The variety of ore properties and its effect on process efficiency is discussed. It has been proved that industrial process efficiency is very sensitive to both the alteration of lithological fractions and the content of major valuable metals and accompanying compounds.
