About a spring with health benefits other uses Spa disambiguation TOC right Mineral spas are resorts developed around naturally occurring mineral spring locales. Origins Spas grew in reputation in the nineteenth century on into the late middle twentieth century for their purported healing or healthful benefits to those wealthy enough to partake of their waters. This was called a Mineral cure and gave let to the phrase taking a cure , still used as a euphemism, normally though today for one trying to kick a drug dependency. In many cases, they were located in mountainous locales that gave an additional excuse to leave the drudgery of a hot house in warm weather during summer s onset and were seasonally populated by the well to do. They eventually became early vacation spots with the counter Victorian work ethic rationale of health as an excuse to have fun and mix with one s peers in recreation. Subsequently, many such became the seed stock for today s modern vacation resorts. Locations such as Steamboat Springs, Colorado Steamboat Springs , Vail, Colorado Vail , St Moritz , Mineral Wells, Texas Mineral Wells first became popular for the questionable health benefits of mineral or soda water soaks, ingestion, and clean outs during the hey day of patent medicines and backward medical knowledge.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Mineral hydration is an inorganic chemical reaction where water is added to the crystal structure of a mineral , usually creating a new mineral, usually called a hydrate . In geology geological terms, the process of mineral hydration is known as retrograde alteration and is a process occurring in retrograde metamorphism . It commonly accompanies metasomatism and is often a feature of wall rock alteration around ore bodies. Hydration of minerals occurs generally in concert with hydrothermal circulation which may be driven by tectonic or igneous activity. Mineral hydration is also a process in the regolith that results in conversion of silicate minerals into clay minerals. There are two main ways in which minerals hydrate. One is conversion of an oxide to a double hydroxide , as with the hydration of calcium oxide CaO to calcium hydroxide Ca OH sub 2 sub , the other is with the incorporation of water molecules directly into the crystalline structure of a new mineral, as in the hydration of feldspar s to clay mineral s, garnet to Chlorite group chlorite or kyanite to muscovite . Some mineral structures, for example, montmorillonite , are capable of including a variable amount of water without significant change to the mineral structure. Hydration is the mechanism by which Portland cement develops strength.

An exception would be sand, gravel, limestone, subsurface water, etc. which are normally considered part of the surface estate. Mineral rights can be severed Mineral estates are often severed from the surface estate. Such severance is accomplished with a Conveyancing conveyance or reservation of the minerals in a conveyance.

Acids and bases A mineral acid or inorganic acid is an acid derived from one or more inorganic chemistry inorganic compounds, and all mineral acids form hydrogen ions and the conjugate base ions when dissolved in water. Characteristics Commonly used mineral acids are sulfuric acid , hydrochloric acid and nitric acid They are also known as bench acids . Mineral acids range from acids of great strength example sulfuric acid to very weak boric acid . Mineral acids tend to be very soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents. Mineral acids are used in many sectors of the chemical industry as feedstocks for the synthesis of other chemicals, both organic and inorganic. Large quantities of these acids, especially sulfuric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid are manufactured for commercial use in large plants. Mineral acids are also used directly for their corrosive properties. For example, a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid is used for removing the deposits from the inside of boilers, with precautions taken to prevent the corrosion of the boiler by the acid. This process is known as descaling.
