Abstract The data on the chemical composition and content of balneological components (Fe, H2SiO3, CO2, S2-) for three water samples from the Ulan-Bulak acidic ferruginous spring are presented. For the first time, carbonic water was released in the composition of the spring waters, the origin of which is explained by the ingress of hydrocarbonate water into an acidic medium, followed by dissociation according to the HCO3 - + H+ → H2CO3 → H2O + CO2 scheme. An acidic environment is formed as a result of oxidation of sulfide mineralization, presumably gold-bearing. From secondary minerals at the spring, modern sulfate minerals (gypsum, jarosite), hydromica (illite) were found, ocher sediments are widely developed. Given the uncertain nature of the formation of the spring waters, it is considered worthy of special studies, including an inspection of the presence of sulfide mineralization.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of polypropylene glycol (PPG), as a corrosion inhibitor for aluminium corrosion in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution at 303-333 K and the effect of addition of iodide ions on the corrosion inhibition efficacy of PPG. Design/methodology/approach The corrosion inhibition performance of PPG alone and on addition of iodide ions in the acid medium was evaluated using weight loss and electrochemical [electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), linear polarisation resistance (LPR) and potentiodynamic polarization (PDP)] methods as well as surface analysis approach at 303-333 K. The morphology of the corroding aluminium surface without and with the additives was visualised using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The trend of inhibition efficiency with temperature was used to propose the mechanism of inhibition and type of adsorption. Findings Results obtained showed that PPG moderately retarded the corrosion of Al in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. Addition of KI to PPG is found to synergistically improve the inhibitive ability of PPG. From the variation of inhibition efficiency, K_ads, and E_a, with rise in temperature, physisorption mechanism is proposed for the adsorption of PPG and PPG + KI onto the Al surface in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. Polarisation results showed that PPG and PPG + KI acted as mixed type inhibitor. The adsorption of PPG and PPG + KI, respectively, onto the metal surface followed El-Awady et al. adsorption isotherm model. SEM and water contact angle analysis confirmed the adsorption of PPG and PPG + KI on Al surface. Research limitations/implications The research is limited to aqueous acid environment in aerated condition, and all tests were performed under static conditions. Practical implications The use of PPG as corrosion inhibitor for Al corrosion in acidic medium were reported for the first time. The results suggest that iodide ions could be used to enhance corrosion protection ability of PPG which could find practical application in corrosion control in aqueous acidic environment. The data obtained would form part of database on the synergistic effect of iodide ions addition to polymer to control acid-induced corrosion of metal. Originality/value The use of PPG as corrosion inhibitor for Al corrosion in acidic medium were reported for the first time. The results suggest that iodide ions could be used to enhance corrosion protection ability of PPG which could find practical application in corrosion control in aqueous acidic environment. The data obtained would form part of database on the synergistic effect of iodide ions addition to polymer to control acid-induced corrosion of metal.

The article presents the results of studies on the current state, properties and chemical composition of some mineral waters of the Uvs Aimak, located in the west of Mongolia. The article presents the results of studying the mineral waters in different sums of Uvs aimak in Mongolia, such as Malchin Sagil, Tsagaanhayrhan, Umnugobi, Turgun, Tarialan, Zuungobi, Ulaangom and others. For each sample, 37 standard indicators were obtained using a conventional in hydro-chemical practice traditional chemical methods (weight and volume) and the highly sensitive method of spectrometric study of mineral waters. The results showed that the composition of  11 mineral sources referred to sodium and potassium groups of bicarbonate and the sulphate classes with weak alkaline conditions. According to research history of Uvs province, for the first time, in 1960, chemists O. Namnandorj, E.M Murzaev, and Sh. Tsegmed undertook research on Chandmani spring, Khar тermes spring and Givantin spring, respectively. But the chemists determined only contents of macro elements in their research. There are few research data of studying micro elements, dissolved gas and bioactive elements. The sources had a high content of sulphate ions. As compared with the results obtained in 1960, the mineralization of the most mineral sources tends to increase. The mineral waters studied differ insignificantly between each other in the relations of physical properties and chemical composition. We found that most of the studied waters belong to the first type of calcium group of the hydrocarbonate class, to waters with a weak alkaline medium (pH = 6.94-8.74), with a large mineralization (197.67-1577.25 mg/L) according to the mineral water classification system. The mineralization of these waters has a strong correlation depending on the content of cations Mg2+, Na+ + K+, etc., as well as anions SO42- and HCO3-.Forcitation:Ulziikhishig I., Sukhbaatar I., Battumur T.

A mise‐a‐la‐masse survey was carried out in Bhukia area, Banswara district, Rajasthan, India for auriferous sulfide occurrences. This area was originally surveyed for copper mineralization. Exploratory drilling, however, proved it to be economically not viable. The area was reopened for geophysical surveys when grab samples indicated the presence of gold. Initial geophysical surveys for copper mineralization showed electromagnetic, induced polarization, and resistivity anomalies. At first, one borehole was drilled for gold exploration on the basis of initial geophysical surveys. It encountered massive sulfide mineralization in association with gold. Borehole logging and a mise‐a‐la‐masse survey were carried out in this borehole. Three further boreholes drilled on the basis of the mise‐a‐la‐masse results encountered massive sulfide mineralization in association with gold. One of the three boreholes, 100 m from the first borehole along strike, was used for another set of mise‐a‐la‐masse measurements. A composite equipotential map was prepared using the results of mise‐a‐la‐masse results of both the boreholes. The equipotential contours show a north‐northwest‐south‐southeast trend of mineralization. The boreholes drilled on the basis of the mise‐a‐la‐masse results have delineated a strike length of more than 500 m of gold‐bearing sulfide mineralization. The sulfide content ranges from 10 to 40% and gold concentration ranges from 2 to 6 ppm. The dip and plunge of the lode, as anticipated from the mise‐a‐la‐masse results, are toward the west and north, respectively. Mise‐a‐la‐masse surveys are continuing in the adjoining areas.

The strength of abrasive wheels is one of the key factors affecting the performance of abrasive machining. The paper discusses ways to improve the strength of abrasive wheels. The stress-state mathematical model presented herein is a generalization of the existing models. It is used herein to find for the first time that there are numerous optimal combinations of the elastic modulus and reinforcing material density, which result in the same minimum value of the objective function. It is found out that increasing the radius of the reinforcing component while also optimizing the mechanical properties of its material may increase the permissible breaking speed of the wheel several times. We herein present a regression equation and a nomogram for finding the optimal combination of control factors. Conventional methods for testing the mechanical properties of materials, which have been proven reliable for testing metals and alloys, are not as reliable for testing abrasive materials, as the test results they generate are not sufficiently stable or accurate. We therefore propose an alternative method that does not require any special equipment or special studies.

Abstract. As part of the FORMES summer 2008 experiment, an Aerodyne compact time-of-flight aerosol mass spectrometer (cToF-AMS) was deployed at an urban background site in Marseille to investigate the sources and aging of organic aerosols (OA). France's second largest city and the largest port in the Mediterranean, Marseille, provides a locale that is influenced by significant urban industrialized emissions and an active photochemistry with very high ozone concentrations. Particle mass spectra were analyzed by positive matrix factorization (PMF2) and the results were in very good agreement with previous apportionments obtained using a chemical mass balance (CMB) approach coupled to organic markers and metals (El Haddad et al., 2011a). AMS/PMF2 was able to identify for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, the organic aerosol emitted by industrial processes. Even with significant industries in the region, industrial OA was estimated to contribute only ~ 5% of the total OA mass. Both source apportionment techniques suggest that oxygenated OA (OOA) constitutes the major fraction, contributing ~ 80% of OA mass. A novel approach combining AMS/PMF2 data with 14C measurements was applied to identify and quantify the fossil and non-fossil precursors of this fraction and to explicitly assess the related uncertainties. Results show with high statistical confidence that, despite extensive urban and industrial emissions, OOA is overwhelmingly non-fossil, formed via the oxidation of biogenic precursors, including monoterpenes. AMS/PMF2 results strongly suggest that the variability observed in the OOA chemical composition is mainly driven in our case by the aerosol photochemical age. This paper presents the impact of photochemistry on the increase of OOA oxygenation levels, formation of humic-like substances (HULIS) and the evolution of α-pinene SOA (secondary OA) components.

Chemical compositions of plants are affected by the initial nutrient contents in the soil and climatic conditions; thus, we analyzed for the first time the effects of soil and leaf nutrients on the compositions of the essential oils (EOs) of Siparuna muricata in four different localities in Ecuador. EOs were obtained by hydrodistillation and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and a gas chromatography/flame ionization detector (GC/FID). Enantiomeric distribution by GC/MS was determined, modifying the enantiomeric separation of β-pinene, limonene, δ-elemene, β-bourbonene, cis-cadina-1 (6), 4-diene and atractylone. A total of 44 compounds were identified. The most representative for L1 were guaiol, atractylone and 4-diene; for L2, cis-cadina-1(6),4-diene and myrcene; for L3, atractylone, myrcene and germacrene B; and finally, L4 germacrene B, myrcene and cis-cadina-1(6),4-diene. Correlations between soil- leaf chemical elements such as Al, Ca, Fe, Mg, Mn, N and Si in the different localities were significant with chemical composition of the essential oil of Siparuna muricata; however, correlations between soil and leaf K, P, and Na were not significant. Cluster and NMDS analysis showed high dissimilarity values of secondary metabolites between four localities related with changes in soil- leaf nutrients. Thus, the SIMPER routine revealed that not all secondary metabolites contribute equally to establishing the differences in the four localities, and the largest contributions are due to differences in guaiol, cis-cadina-1(6),4-diene, atractylone and germacrene. Our investigation showed for the first time the influences of altitude and soil- leaf chemical elements in the chemical composition of the EOs of S. muricata.

The subject of the research is the methods of forecasting the Eastern Transbaikalia - a large mining region of Russia, in which the main internal and external criteria for ore content are established by modern geological mapping at a scale of 1:1,000,000. The article considers endogenous geochemical criteria for gold concentration in the Earth’s crust of the region, which constitute a mandatory methodological method for predicting gold ore objects at any scale. The aim of the work is to clarify the achieved level of knowledge about the mineralogical and geochemical criteria for gold concentration in the course of the evolution of the Earth’s crust up to the formation of industrial deposits and the isolation of ore formations. The methodology of the study is to systematize a huge amount of factual material concerning the processes of natural concentration of gold, to analyze its representativeness, to assess the completeness and reliability of published and stock information used to clarify the mineralogical and geochemical criteria for predicting ore gold. Using the chemical properties of gold, the forms of finding gold, amount of it in the forming geological complexes and natural environments, their evolution, distribution in structural and tectonic zones, some causes of concentration and mineralogical and geochemical prediction criteria are considered. Special attention is paid to the need to study and account for nanoscale (dispersed) gold. As the main ore-formation units of gold mineralization, standardized ore formations are defined with a division into gold ore proper, complex gold-bearing and gold-bearing and geological and industrial types of deposits. There are 15 geological and industrial types, of which 13 are transbaikal deposits standards and two are attracted from other regions. These types of deposits differ in the number of objects related to them. Due to some similarity in the composition of ore matter, geological and industrial types differ in the most important classification characteristics for the forecast. Areas of distribution of direct and indirect mineralogical and geochemical features grouped into mineralogical and geochemical forecast criteria are promising for endogenous concentration of gold mineralization

The Relationship

For the first time, a mycological analysis of outdoor urban environment (air, leaves, sealed surfaces) was carried in the cities of subarctic (Murmansk) and temperate (Moscow) climatic zones. The chemical composition of dust deposited on leaves of dominant tree species was taken as an indicator of the air quality. Assessment of the complex impact of factors (climate zone, type of substrate, anthropogenic load) on the quantitative and qualitative parameters of mycobiome was performed. Compared to Moscow, Murmansk was characterized by an increased number and concentrations of pollutants in the deposited dust. The number of culturable airborne fungi in Murmansk was substantially lower than in Moscow. Half of the species belonged to the opportunistic in both cities. Most dangerous opportunistic fungi were absent in the air of recreational zones but present on leaves surface and in road dust in all assessed zones of the cities. Dust chemical composition affected the diversity of fungi species. While the relationship of biological parameters with concentration of potentially toxic metals was generally negative, Cd increased the fraction of opportunistic fungi in road dust. The study revealed an importance of substrate in determining the sensitivity of outdoor mycobiome to pollution and highlighted its biological characteristics sensitive to climate.
