Abstract: A geothermal brine containing recoverable metals is contacted with at least two electrodes, across which an electrical potential is applied to cause the metals to deposit upon said electrodes. The invention is particularly useful for the recovery of iron, zinc, lead, and manganese from a brine from a geothermal aquifer such as is found at the Salton Sea in California.
Abstract: Compositions and methods for vegetation control comprise synergistic combinations of a thiazol-urea abscission agent and an adduct formed by the reaction of sulfuric acid with an amide. The synergistic combinations are particularly useful for the defoliation of cotton.
