Extractive Metallurgy of Copper 4th ed.
Summary:
This new edition has been extensively revised and updated since the 3rd edition published in 1994. It contains an even greater depth of industrial information, focussing on how copper metal is extracted from ore and scrap, and how this extraction could be made more efficient. Modern high intensity smelting processes are presented in detail, specifically flash, Contop, Isasmelt, Noranda, Teniente and direct-to-blister smelting. Considerable attention is paid to the control of SO2 emissions and manufacture of H2SO4. Recent developments in electrorefining, particularly stainless steel cathode technology are examined. Leaching, solvent extraction and electrowinning are evaluated together with their impact upon optimizing mineral resource utilization. The book demonstrates how recycling of copper and copper alloy scrap is an important source of copper and copper alloys. Copper quality control is also discussed and the book incorporates an important section on extraction economics. Each chapter is followed by a summary of concepts previously described and offers suggested further reading and references.

Product Description:
Plate tectonic collision, climate oscillation, glacial fluctuation, severe wind and water erosion - all have wrought dramatic change on the landscape of the Western Himalaya, one of the most dynamic and spectacular landscapes on Earth. Study of the region - from the Western Himalaya foothills and lowlands to the Arabian Sea - is of particular value to geology and geomorphology because of the size and frequency of events. That much of South Asia is relatively inaccessible has enhanced the significance of research in Pakistan and adjacent areas. Himalaya to the Sea focuses on the general evolution of landforms in Pakistan but is also an essential guide for predictive, protective and remedial measures to mitigate the natural hazards which plague the region and constrain development. The authors describe regional erosion and sedimentation within the context of topographical evolution; more specifically, they deal with neotectonics, past and present glaciation, general mountain geomorphology and process mechanics, past and present fluvial processes and landforms, wind blown loess deposits, age dates, soils, marine terraces and archaeology. This is the first integrated assessment of the geomorphology and Quaternary evolution of this region, from highlands to ocean. Presenting new research, methodologies and theory, this highly illustrated book also provides the first comprehensive bibliography to this exciting region.

Andean Geology
Volvemos!
Hola, volvemos con dos interesantes aportes, el primero se trata de un paper acerca de los porfidos cupriferos, recien salido de horno. Este articulo esta contenido en el ultimo volumen de la Economic Geology y se trata de una especie de review acerca del estado del arte en el estudio de los porfidos cupriferos realizado por Sillitoe. Un articulo de lectura obligada para todos aquellos que les guste la geologia economica.
Porphyry Copper Systems
Como segudo aporte les entrego un "virtual issue" de la Journal of Metamorphic Geology, el que recopila una serie de papers acerca de las distintas texturas que se encuentran en las rocas metamorficas, comprendiendo desde caracteristicas petrograficas hasta fisico-quimicas. La lista de los temas y de los articulos pueden ser encontrados en el siguiente enlace.

Terremotos
Hace rato que no actualizaba este blog, pero sin lugar a dudas, el terremoto recién pasado en Chile hace necesario esto, ya que hay varios temas dando vuelta en internet, que han adquirido el nivel de mitos en varios foros que he visitado en estos días, particularmente lo del el cambio en el eje terrestre o las predicciones acerca del terremoto.
Bueno, lo primero es lo primero: acerca de las predicciones.
He leído algunas predicciones, como la del "Mago Yin" y teorías dosmildoceanas que para el publico común son muy atractivas de creer.
Así también, a las horas del terremoto salio un articulo en terra en el que se aseguraba que u estudio realizado por expertos lo habría anticipado.
Vamos por parte.
Lo del supuesto mago no me lo creo para nada y ni siquiera lo voy a analizar, sin embargo, la respuesta o la información entregada por el sismólogo consultado en la misma noticia a mi parecer es deficiente, ya que el estudio ya se encontraba publicado (es más, se había enviado a revisión en Marzo del 2007.
El articulo en si (publicado en Physics of the Earth & Planetary Interiors, Vol. 175, issues 1-2, pp. 78-85) concluye que la parte sur del gap Concepción-Constitución ha acumulado un déficit de deslizamiento que es más que suficiente para producir un gran terremoto de magnitud 8.0-8.5, aproximadamente. Esto es, por supuesto, el peor escenario y es necesario que sea refinado en trabajos adicionales.
Pero el articulo no menciona una fecha exacta, un año o un mes, por lo que el titulo de la noticia de terra es un tanto alarmista.
El articulo completo se encuentra acá: download (pdf, sin compresión ni contraseña)
Por otro lado, tenemos lo del cambio en el angulo de rotación de la tierra a partir del terremoto de Chile. Esto es totalmente cierto, me declaraba ignorante en el tema, pero si, se han registrado modificaciones al eje terrestre con varios terremotos, Chile 2010, Indonesia 2004, Chile 1960, etc., claro que son cambios prácticamente imperceptibles y solo demostrables a partir de modelos computacionales. La explicación de este fenómeno es simple, tal desplazamiento de masa en la zona de subducción tiene una respuesta a nivel planetario. La tierra, luego del terremoto trata de volver al equilibrio, y como hace esto, modificando el eje terrestre con respecto a la nueva distribución de masa, es lo que los expertos denominan efecto "ice-skater".
Mas información acerca de los efectos del terremoto de Chile la encontraran en el siguiente enlace.
Y finalmente, les traigo libros relacionados con el tema:
Earthquakes: Plate Tectonics and Earthquake Hazards
By Timothy, Ph.D. Kusky
Description:
Every day parts of the surface of the Earth are rattled by earthquake tremors, and occasionally, some regions are shaken violently during earthquakes, resulting in widespread damage and destruction. Earthquakes in Iran, Turkey, and Japan have demonstrated how the motion of the Earth's tectonic plates can suddenly make apparently safe environments dangerous and even deadly."Earthquakes" focuses on the furious power of nature unleashed and the massive devastation that is often a result of the relentless forces that build up within the Earth. Presenting the main ideas of plate tectonics, this comprehensive and insightful reference provides readers with an understanding of how, why, and where most earthquakes occur. Coverage includes what happens during an earthquake, using many examples of hazards such as landslides, passage of seismic-earthquake waves through the ground, and other phenomena that people have encountered during real earthquakes. Black-and-white photographs and line illustrations, an index, a glossary, and a geologic timescale enhance this in-depth resource.Chapters include: General Earth Structure and Plate Tectonics; Divergent Plate Boundaries; Transform Plate Boundaries and Transform Faults; Convergent Margins; Earthquakes; Earthquake Hazards; Earthquake Prediction, Preparation, and Response; and, Descriptions of Earthquake Disasters.
Earthquake Early Warning Systems
By Paolo Gasparini, Gaetano Manfredi, Jochen Zschau
Description:
During the past few decades, economic losses and human casualties due to natural disasters increased exponentially on our planet, mainly because of the increased density of population and industry in high hazard areas. Although the prediction of earthquakes is not practicable yet, the present technology allows a prompt identification of the onset of any dangerous seismic event before it hits an urban area. Earthquake early warning can provide an alert within a few tens of seconds in advance. This small lead time may be used to minimize property damage and loss of lives in metropolitan areas and to aid emergency response. The book provides information on the major EEW systems in operation and on the state of the art of the different blocks forming an EW system: the rapid detection and estimation of the earthquake s focal parameters, the signal transmission, the engineering interface and the information reliability/false alarm problem.
Fault-Zone Properties and Earthquake Rupture Dynamics
By Eiichi Fukuyama
Description:
The dynamics of the earthquake rupture process are closely related to fault zone properties which the authors have intensively investigated by various observations in the field as well as by laboratory experiments. These include geological investigation of the active and fossil faults, physical and chemical features obtained by the laboratory experiments, as well as the seismological estimation from seismic waveforms. Earthquake dynamic rupture can now be modeled using numerical simulations on the basis of field and laboratory observations, which should be very useful for understanding earthquake rupture dynamics.
Features:
* First overview of new and improved techniques in the study of earthquake faulting
* Broad coverage
* Full color
Benefits:
* A must-have for all geophysicists who work on earthquake dynamics
* Single resource for all aspects of earthquake dynamics (from lab measurements to seismological observations to numerical modelling)
* Bridges the disciplines of seismology, structural geology and rock mechanics
* Helps readers to understand and interpret graphs and maps
Also has potential use as a supplementary resource for upper division and graduate geophysics courses.

Un nuevo blog...
Navengando por el internerd me tope con un blog muy similar a este. Se trata de "911geo", el cual es un sitio argentino, realizado por unos estudiantes de geologia del pais vecino. En palabras de los autores:
"Muchos de ustedes, estan agobiados por no tener las herramientas mo la info para seguir educandose, o estan lejos, perdieron los contactos,my no saben como seguir adelante… Ahora estamos aqui para compartir datos y ayudarnos! El conocimiento es de la humanidad y debe ser compartido por todos! Si conoces a alguien que necesite informacion pasale la direccion de este sitio o envianos cosas utiles a nuestro mail que le puedan ser utiles a otros!!!!"
El sitio cuenta con varios documentos que no estan en geolibros, sin embargo, no se encuentra la cantidad de la que se dispone aca. En fin, hay varios aportes interesantes, como libros de geomorfologia, paleontologia, geologia de Argentina y mapas geologicos de parte de ese pais.
No quise "robar" links asi que mejor revisen por ustedes mismos el sitio.
Saludos a todos!

Sedimentologia
Hola a tod@s, desde que empece este blog me han pedido cosas en español, el numero de libros en nuestro idioma es muy escaso, y los que existen actualmente son antiguos y a veces, demasiado basicos. Navegando por mi HD, me di cuenta de que tenia un libro (que encontre surfeando por la web) que, si bien tiene 17 años desde su publicacion original, es "relativamente nuevo".
Se trata de el libro "Sedimentologia" de Alfredo Arche, un viejo conocido para todos nosotros, para los que utilizaron su libro de estratigrafia vol 1 & 2. Este libro es un scan a dos paginas por hoja de una fotocopia (al parecer), pese a esto, tiene una buena calidad que no dificulta para nada la lectura, las ilustraciones tambien estan ok, asi que, a bajarlo y disfrutarlo!
