in the alum shale of Sweden but as early as 1826 HisiNGER (p. 216) published an analysis of barytes from the alum shale at Andrarum in Scania. It was not, however, the small, free crystals that he analysed but a concretionary aggregate of the type known already at .
Shale gas exploration efforts to date have been primarily focused on the southern part of the Alum Shale, namely in Skåne and south central Sweden. 5 The Swedish government granted permission for shale gas prospecting and testdrilling as early as 2008. 6 By December 2012, the government had issued seventeen permits for shale gas exploration ...
Natural laboratories include, but are not limited to, Alum Shale (Sweden), Posidonia shale (Germany), Lower Carboniferous (Germany and Netherlands), Barnett shale and Marcellus shale (both ...
Alum shale's wiki: The Alum Shale Formation (also known as alum schist and alum slate) is a formation of black shale of Middle Cambrian to Tremadocian (Lower Ordovician) in age found in southern Scandinavia. It is shale or clay slate containing pyrite. Decomposition of pyrite by weathering forms sulfuric acid, which acts on potash and alumina constituents to form alum, which often occurs as ...
the fact that shales both from Sweden and Estonia have been used for production of hydrocarbons the remaining waste behaves very differently. Two waste piles have been compared; one in Sweden (Kvarntorpshögen, 28 Mton, black alum shale, 18% kerogen [1]) and one in Estonia (Kukruse, Mton, kukersite, 1065% kerogen [2]).
May 01, 2018· Aura Energy is an Australianbased minerals company that 100% owns polymetallic and uranium projects with large resources in Sweden (Häggån project) and Mauritania (Tiris project). Aura's focus is on the Häggån Project, located in Sweden's Alum Shale province, one of the largest depositories of vanadium in the world.
with, the outcropping rocks in south western Sweden. Th e rocks at the surface in Scania contain Cambrian age oil source rocks in the Alum Shale. Th e same rocks were encountered in some of the wells drilled around Malmö, off shore south and west of Falsterbo in 1972 and off shore in the Falsterborev well drilled in 1973.
Jul 20, 2011· Although the exact resource potential in Sweden's Alum Shale is unknown, there could be trillion cm of recoverable shale gas, according to a 2009 report by Advanced Resources International consultancy. The US Energy Information Administration puts the country's recoverable shalegas resources at 12 trillion cf.
Jul 27, 2013· From my exchanges with my friend Christian in France, here are some Trilobite fossils that he collected in Sweden. First up are a couple of black shale pieces that have partial cephalon pieces from two species of Trilobites: Ctenocephalus exsulans and Bailiella impressa Cambrian Brantevik, Sweden
ABSTRACT This study focuses on the abundance and mobility of Ca, Fe, S and trace elements (As, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, U, V and Zn) in black shale (alum shale) in SE Sweden. Samples of nonweathered, weathered and burnt black shale were chemically characterized and the potential element release from them was assessed by standard waterbased leaching tests and pH/redoxregulated ...
Uranium in Sweden. There are huge amounts of low grade uranium in Sweden both in old bedrocks and younger black shales (alum shale). Most of the black shale uranium is in the south part of Sweden, most of the bedrock uranium is the north. As part of the former plans for nuclear weapons in Sweden a uranium mine was established in black shale in...
Calcit crystals in the Alum Shale as indicators of methane formation Credit: GFZ Considering geological time scales, the occurrence of biogenic shale gas in Sweden´s crust is relatively young. An international team of geoscientists (led by HansMartin Schulz, German Research Centre for Geosciences ...
Abstract The Alum Shale of Sweden contains black shales with anomalously high uranium concentrations in excess of 100 ppm. Syngenetic or early diagenetic origin of this uranium indicates that organic matter within these shales has been irradiated by decaying uranium for approximately 500 Ma.
Alum Shale of central and southern Sweden and belongs to the extensive formation of the CambrianOrdovician black shales extending from Lake Onega in the east to the Jutland Peninsula in the west.
