The potters of Qallaline (or Kallaline, from qallāl, meaning “potters” in Arabic), a district of Tunis (Tunisia) near the now-vanished Bab Kartâjanna gate, produced tiles from the 16th century until the end of the 19th century,...

The lithological dichotomy in the Hammam Faraun Member (Gulf of Suez, Egypt) reveals a stable western flank with Nullipore carbonate deposits, contrasting with the clastic-prone eastern margin influenced by tectonic activity. This study aims to decip...

Zircon is one of the most common accessory minerals in all types of granitoids. Due to its resistance to secondary processes, it preserves information about the composition of magma and conditions at the time of crystallization. Madeira albite granit...

To address the challenges of low KCl recovery and high collector consumption during flotation at low temperature, a novel approach with utilizing a compound collector consisting of octadecylamine hydrochloride (ODA) and alcohols (butanol, octanol, an...

This study investigated the effectiveness of palygorskite (Pal) as an adsorbent for removing total phenolic content (TPC), dissolved chemical oxygen demand (d-COD), and color from treated olive wastewater (TOW). Experiments were conducted to evaluate...

Deep carbonate reservoirs have garnered significant attention and demonstrated great potential for oil and gas exploration in recent years. The Majiagou Formation in the Ordos Basin has received much attention for its deep oil and gas deposits recent...

Manganese is a critical metal for modern industry, essential in steelmaking and increasingly important for the production of advanced battery materials. As one of the world’s leading consumers and importers of manganese, China faces a persisten...

The complex geology of southwestern Mexico results from prolonged interaction between the North American and Farallon plates along an active subduction zone. This process led to crustal growth via oceanic lithosphere consumption, island arc accretion...

Beyond its renowned gemological value, diamond serves as a vital economic mineral and a unique messenger from Earth’s deep interior, preserving invaluable geological information. Since the Mengyin region is the source of China’s greatest...

A small, strongly schistose Ni-laterite occurrence at the Vermion ophiolite (40°26′ Ν, 22°10′ Ε), Northen Greece, along a strong shear zone, is characterized by relatively high Ni, Co and Mn contents, magnetite as the d...
