While not the flashiest of the 35 minerals on the United States Geological Survey's critical list, barite plays an essential role in America's energy sector. Barite derives its name from barús, the Ancient Greek word for heavy, owing to an exceptionally high specific gravity for a non-metallic mineral. It is this weight that makes barite a key ele...

In U mining mill tailings, barite is one of the dominant sulfate-binding minerals. In such environments, sequential extractions are generally used to identify the U- and 226 Ra-binding phases and their associated reactivity.

The Oman Sea is located between Iran, Oman, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates and connected to the Indian Ocean; thus, the Indian Ocean monsoon winds have noticeable effects on this area. Circulation in the Oman Sea is dominated by clockwise and counterclockwise gyres in the west and in the east, respectively ( Saraji, 2014 ).

The exploration and mining of Nigerian barite are primarily by artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM) whose operations are characterized by poor productivity. As a result, the quantity and quality of barites produced do not satisfy the nation's oil sector demands and other industries that require the mineral. This situation leads to massive …

Barite mining in southwestern ia began around 1875 and became a commercial source by 1880. There are two main mining areas, one in Russell and Tazewell Counties and one in Smyth County (Watson, 1907). In both areas, barite occurs with limonite, calcite, siderite, and occasional fluorite as stratified replacements in limestone and ...

Gowater protected area is located on the northern shores of the Oman Sea, in the Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran (Zahed et al., 2010).The sampling area included five sites in the mangrove forests between the port city of Chabahar and the protected area of Gowater, which has the highest density of mangrove trees and is representative of all …

The estimated amount demanded barites in Nigeria in the chemical industry is about 13,400 tonnes while that of the petroleum industry for the production of drilling mud is about 70,500 tonnes as of 1988. Consumption of white barites in liquid paint in the UK alone amounts to about 1000 tonnes per annum (Onwualu et al., 2013a, b).

Sequential pattern mining (SPM) is an important branch of knowledge discovery that aims to mine frequent sub-sequences (patterns) in a sequential database. Various SPM methods have been investigated, and most of them are classical SPM methods, since these methods only consider whether or not a given pattern occurs …

Oman's mining industry has attracted increasing interest from both foreign and local operators as Oman was the first GCC producer and exporter of ferrochrome.
