  2. 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.

  3. Descaling agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descaling_agent

    Limescale build-up inside a pipe reduces both liquid flow and thermal conduction from the pipe, so will reduce thermal efficiency when used as a heat exchanger.. A descaling agent or chemical descaler is a liquid chemical substance used to remove limescale from metal surfaces in contact with hot water, such as in boilers, water heaters, and kettles.

  4. 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 ...

  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. 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]

  7. Field (mineral deposit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(mineral_deposit)

    The deposits must be machined to extract the metals in question from the waste rock and minerals from the reservoir. The deposits are formed by a variety of geological processes. The abundance of a field will result in direct costs associated with the mining of the deposit and the consequent cost of the extracted metal.
