Handheld LIBS for Li Exploration: An Example from the Carolina Tin-Spodumene Belt, USA by Michael A. Wise, Russell S. Harmon, Adam Curry, Morgan Jennings, Zach Grimac, Daria Khashchevskaya

“…Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS), which has recently emerged as tool for geochemical analysis outside the traditional laboratory setting, is an ideal tool for Li exploration because it is the only technique that can measure Li in minerals, rocks, soils, and brines in-situ in the field. In addition to being used in many products essential to modern life, Li is a necessary element for a reduced carbon future and Li–Cs–Ta (LCT) granitic pegmatites are an important source of Li. …”

Geochemical characteristics and genetic types of natural gas in the Changxing-Feixianguan Formations from the Yuanba Gas Field in the Sichuan Basin, China by Xiaoqi Wu, Guangxiang Liu, Quanyou Liu, Jingdong Liu, Xiaoyu Yuan

“…The identification of gas origin and gas–source correlation indicate that the natural gases reservoired in the Changxing-Feixianguan Formations in the Yuanba Gas Field have been altered by thermochemical sulfate reduction, and they are mainly composed of oil cracking gases derived from the secondary cracking of oil generated by the sapropelic-prone source rocks in the Permian Longtan Formation. The CO2 in the gas pools are mainly inorganic and were derived from the interaction between the acidic fluid and carbonate reservoirs.…”
