Reconstruction of Polyhalite Ore-Formed Temperature from Late Middle Pleistocene Brine Temperature Research in Kunteyi Playa, Western China by Jun Li, Wenxia Li, Weiliang Miao, Qiliang Tang, Yongshou Li, Xiaolong Yuan, Qingyu Hai, Yongsheng Du, Xiying Zhang

“…However, under the overall low-temperature background, polyhalite seems to be easily enriched at relatively high temperature; for example, the content of polyhalite is generally high in the first relatively dry and hot salt-forming period, and the brine temperature at the peak stage of polyhalite at 45 m is relatively high, which indicates that the high temperature conditions promote the formation of polyhalite in KSL. …”

How does the ultrasonic assist CO2 immiscible flooding? by Hengli Wang, Leng Tian, Yanzhong Zhen, Yating Li, Yi Gao, Gaorun Zhong, Kaiqiang Zhang

“…With ultrasonic assistance, the recovery rate increased to 62.84 %, and the maximum radius of residual oil droplets was reduced from 81.8 μm to 36.5 μm. Additionally, the amount of residual oil in the 0.1 μm to 1 μm range slightly decreased, suggesting that ultrasonic assistance mainly improves the recovery of flake residual oil, with a slight improvement in film residual oil recovery as well. …”
