Geochemistry of Formation Water and Implications for Ultradeep Tight Sandstone of DK Gas Field in Kuqa Depression by Xiaobo Guo, Libin Zhao, Wei Han, Longfei Zhou, Zhilong Huang, Xiongwei Sun, Xuejun Yang, Tonghui Zhang, Chenglin Zhang

“…The results indicate that the formation water can be classified as condensate water, gas-water transition zone water, mixed water, and isolated formation water, all of which are acidic and of CaCl2 type, with increasing salinity or chloride ion content. Sodium/chloride ratio (ρNa+/ρCl-), metamorphic coefficient (ρ(Cl--Na+)/ρ(Mg2+)), desulfurization coefficient (100×ρSO42−/ρCl−), and trace elements concentration parameters show that the formation water was formed in a closed and reductive environment and experienced strong water-rock interaction. …”

Simulation of Arc Discharge in an Argon/Methane Mixture, Taking into Account the Evaporation of Anode Material in Problems Related to the Synthesis of Functional Nanostructures by Almaz Saifutdinov, Boris Timerkaev

“…However, with an increase in the current density, the evaporation rate of copper atoms from the anode increases, and a jump in the <i>I</i>–<i>V</i> characteristic is observed, caused by a change in the plasma-forming ion. This is due to the lower ionization energy of copper atoms compared to argon atoms. …”
