This book was released on 2008-03-11 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minerals are part of virtually every product we use. Common examples include copper used in electrical wiring and titanium used to make airplane frames and paint pigments. The Information Age has ushered in a number of new mineral uses in a number of products including cell phones (e.g., tantalum) and liquid crystal displays (e.g., indium). For some minerals, such as the platinum group metals used to make cataytic converters in cars, there is no substitute. If the supply of any given mineral were to become restricted, consumers and sectors of the U.S. economy could be significantly affected. Risks to minerals supplies can include a sudden increase in demand or the possibility that natural ores can be exhausted or become too difficult to extract. Minerals are more vulnerable to supply restrictions if they come from a limited number of mines, mining companies, or nations. Baseline information on minerals is currently collected at the federal level, but no established methodology has existed to identify potentially critical minerals. This book develops such a methodology and suggests an enhanced federal initiative to collect and analyze the additional data needed to support this type of tool.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minerals of California Largely because of these factors, the law of diminishing returns seems not yet to have taken any real toll from California's mineral production. In this connection it should suffice to point to three notable developments in the mineral economy of the State that have transpired very largely since just the last edition of Minerals of California (bull. 173, 1) The bastnaesite deposit at Mountain Pass had been discovered a few years previously, development was underway, but returns at that time were somewhat disappointing. It took the sub sequent discovery of practical methods for refining the rare earths and producing relatively pure europium oxide, as well as the discovery of the application of this rare earth to color television, to make the Moun tain Pass deposit the bonanza that it is fast becoming. 2) In 1956, pro duction of asbestos in California received only the barest mention in the us. Bureau of Mines Minerals Yearbook. In 1966 it will be reported as a multimillion dollar industry, with plans for expansion and enor mous reserves of ore. This has come about partly through recognition that the curious mountain leather of the Coalinga area was not tremolite, after'all, but a true chrysotile fibre in an unusual habit; partly through technological success in learning how to process this material; and partly through the economic opportunities conferred by growth of population. 3) In 1956 geothermal steam was a commercial oddity reported only from Italy and beginning to be talked about in New Zealand. Today, the successful harnessing of geothermal energy in the last four years toproduce electric power at The Geysers represents a first in this field in terms of the entire North American continent. And developments in the Niland area of the Imperial Valley presage the possibility of producing not only power, but potash! How fortunate can we be? Has California not been already more than sufficiently favored? Yet. There is more to this success story A mineral is a mineral; but for a mineral to be useful, man must enter on the scene. California has attracted more mineralogists (whether measured in the somewhat restricted scientific terms of numbers of Fellows of the Mineralogical Society of America, or in the broader and more popular terms of number of members of the Federated Min eral Societies) than has any other state. Moreover, California has attracted more top flight scientists in all fields than most other states. The juxtaposition (if one may put it that way) of a wide variety of minerals in a diversity of geologic settings, and of numbers of imagina tive scientists in general and mineralogists in particular, virtually guarantees that there will be more and perhaps bigger new discoveries, both of minerals and of useful application for minerals, than any we have yet Seen.

This book was released on 2002-03-14 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Office of Industrial Technologies (OIT) of the U. S. Department of Energy commissioned the National Research Council (NRC) to undertake a study on required technologies for the Mining Industries of the Future Program to complement information provided to the program by the National Mining Association. Subsequently, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health also became a sponsor of this study, and the Statement of Task was expanded to include health and safety. The overall objectives of this study are: (a) to review available information on the U.S. mining industry; (b) to identify critical research and development needs related to the exploration, mining, and processing of coal, minerals, and metals; and (c) to examine the federal contribution to research and development in mining processes.
