By the removal of soluble material from the original substance the insoluble material remaining may form valuable residual deposits. From carbonates and silicates in the original rock may be converted into practically insoluble oxides, which form iron ores as rock weathers; silica may be leached from kaolin, leaving the insoluble hydrous aluminum oxide, bauxite, a most important aluminum ore. Such deposits are generally formed in warm moist climates and would not be found in areas which have been glaciated. 3, record 2, English, - residual%20deposit

L'une des méthodes souvent envisagées et retenues pour gérer les sédiments contaminés est le recouvrement en milieu aquatique (capping). Cette technique consiste à placer les sédiments contaminés dans une dépression ou dans un site où les conditions hydrodynamiques assurent la stabilité des matériaux, et à les recouvrir d'une couche de sable ou de silt non contaminé d'une épaisseur variant de moins de un mètre à plus de deux mètres. 1, record 4, French, - recouvrement%20en%20milieu%20aquatique

A method of stoping in which the ore is extracted by excavating a series of horizontal(sometimes inclined) timbered slices alongside each other, beginning at the top of the ore body and working progressively downward; the slices are caved by blasting out the timbers, bringing the capping or overburden down upon the bottom of the slices which have been previously covered with a floor or mat of timber to separate the caved material from the solid ore beneath.... As the slices are mined out and caved this mat follows the mining downward, filling the space occupied previously by the ore. 5, record 9, English, - top%20slicing

Avant de foudroyer par enlèvement du soutènement, on pose à la sole du chantier un plancher préalable, constitué de croûtes de bois posées sur des feuillards d'acier, pour former la couronne de la tranche suivante, l'isolant des éboulis frais, qui ne pèseront que modérément sur le soutènement [...] En variante, on peut exploiter en tranches inclinées. 1, record 9, French, - m%C3%A9thode%20de%20la%20tranche%20horizontale%20unidescendante
