2. Fluid inclusion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_inclusion

   The methods of using fluid inclusions to identify mineral deposits include assessing the abundance of a specific inclusion type, looking into variations in the inclusions' temperatures of phase changes during heating and cooling, [2] and variations in other properties such as decrepitation behavior, and inclusions chemistry. [1]

3. Hydrothermal mineral deposit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrothermal_mineral_deposit

   Mineral commodities can be classified as metals or non-metals. [2] Metals refer to elements of the periodic table which include base, ferrous, minor fissionable and precious metals. On the other hand, non-metals refer to industrial minerals such as gypsum, diamonds, oil, coal and aggregate. Hydrothermal deposits of economically valuable and ...

4. Oilfield scale inhibition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oilfield_scale_inhibition

   Oilfield scale inhibition is the process of preventing the formation of scale from blocking or hindering fluid flow through pipelines, valves, and pumps used in oil production and processing. Scale inhibitors (SIs) are a class of specialty chemicals that are used to slow or prevent scaling in water systems.

5. Oil burner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_burner

   An oil burner is a part attached to an oil furnace, water heater, or boiler. [1] It provides the ignition of heating oil/biodiesel fuel used to heat either air or water via a heat exchanger . The fuel is atomized into a fine spray usually by forcing it under pressure through a nozzle which gives the resulting flame a specific flow rate, angle ...

6. Limescale - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limescale

   The type found deposited on the heating elements of water heaters consists mainly of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3). Hard water contains calcium (and often magnesium ) bicarbonate or similar ions. Calcium, magnesium, and carbonate ions dissolve from rocks through which rainwater percolates before collection.

7. Metasomatism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasomatism

   This is common in porphyry copper and porphyry molybdenum deposits. Argillic alteration, commonly present in the distal areas of porphyry deposits, is a low-temperature assemblage that converts feldspars and some other minerals into clay minerals such as kaolinite and illite. It can overprint older, higher-temperature alteration assemblages.
