TL;DR: In this article, a study of the dependence of Young's modulus for small samples of sea ice on their brine content was made, where the velocity of ultrasonic waves through the samples and the brine contents from their salinity and temperature were determined from their measurements.
Abstract: A study is made of the dependence of Young's modulus for small samples of sea ice on their brine content. Young's modulus is determined from the velocity of ultrasonic waves through the samples and the brine content from their salinity and temperature. It is found that, over a range of brine content of about 0.01 to 0.1 as a fraction of the total volume, Young's modulus decreases linearly with increasing brine content. Its value is 10.0 × 1010 dyne cm−2 when the brine content is 0 and 6.5 × 1010 dyne cm−2 for a brine content of 0.1.

03 Jan 2007TL;DR: A copolymer derived from a cationic monomer effectively inhibits and controls the formation of inorganic scales was used in the removal of zinc sulfide and iron sulfide scales formed when zinc bromide brines are used as completion fluids as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: A formulation containing a copolymer derived from a cationic monomer effectively inhibits and controls the formation of inorganic scales. The formulation has particular application in the removal of zinc sulfide and iron sulfide scales formed when zinc bromide brines are used as completion fluids. The copolymer exhibit high solubility in high-density brines, such as zinc bromide brines. The polymers may be introduced into an oil or gas well as a portion of a carrier fluid or with brine. The preferred copolymer for use in the invention contains an acrylamide unit and a diallyldimethylammonium salt and, optionally, an acrylic acid or a salt thereof. The weight average molecular weight of such inhibitor copolymers is generally between from about 500,000 to about 5,000,000.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that most of the salt in the successively forming upper layers must have been injected directly from the bottom of the deep through one or more vents located above the level of the lowest brine interface.
Abstract: The brines in the Atlantis II Deep of the Red Sea occur in horizontally uniform, well-mixed layers, with the hottest and saltiest water at the bottom, separated from the successively cooler and fresher layers above by very sharp vertical temperature and salinity gradients. Data acccumulated over 3 decades are used to test the widely accepted hypothesis that all heat and salt for the brine layers are supplied from below and that the layered brine structure is the result of double diffusion. Using the changes in temperature and salinity in each layer over successive time intervals, one can deduce the corresponding fluxes of heat and salt across the interfaces. It is found that the required flux of salt cannot be sustained by double diffusion alone. An alternative calculation shows that most of the salt in the successively forming upper layers must have been injected directly from the bottom of the deep through one or more vents located above the level of the lowest brine interface. For the bottom layer, however, it is not possible to obtain the observed salinity and temperature changes unless hot saline water is injected directly into that layer and some of the heat and a smaller fraction of the salt are transferred upward through the interface. This process will also maintain convection in each of the layers and keep them well mixed, as is observed. The new interpretation in terms of separate inputs at various levels in the Atlantis II Deep is also supported by recent geochemical evidence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the seawater decalcification process using the brine pretreatment waste of soda ash plant as alkali source by CO 2 was carried out, which allowed the use of moderate temperature and pressure conditions in the process of seawater decomposition with mineral carbonation.
