	Trona
		Trona is probably the most common and well known of these minerals.
		Trona gets its name from a discarded Arabic word for native salt, "tron", which is derived from the word "natrun".
		The trona is mined, then processed into soda ash or bicarbonate of soda, for a variety of uses.

	Trona - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Trona is found at Owens Lake and Searles Lake, California; Green River Formation, Utah; and the Nile Valley in Egypt.
		The trona near Green River, Wyoming is the largest known deposit in the world and lies in deep veins at 900 and 1600 feet below ground level.
		Trona has also been mined at Lake Magadi in the Rift Valley in Kenya for nearly 100 years, and occurs in 'salt' pans in the Etosha National Park in Namibia.

	Recovery of alkali values from trona deposits - Patent 4344650
		Because the interlayered trona seams in the beds of salt-containing trona are thick, numerous, and relatively close together, the recovery of their alkali values is facilitated by the method of this invention, which employs an aqueous solvent introduced to the region of the trona deposits by solution mining techniques.
		Although a salt redistribution within the region of the underground trona cavity may well occur, sodium chloride need not be precipitated or produced as a solid byproduct during the surface operations to recover the alkali values from the withdrawn salt-saturated mining from the withdrawn salt-saturated mining solution.
		The dissolution of the trona via its reaction with sodium hydroxide results in the release of water of hydration from the trona, which dilutes the aqueous mining solvent and may improve slightly the dissolving rate of the trona.

	Trona Mine
		The wet ore is then dumped to the side of the trench, where it is moved by dozers to form thin layers and left to dry in the sun.
		Once the trona is dried, it is placed into piles, approximately equal to the haul truck capacity, and loaded into the trucks for transport to the Borax Mine, where it is used in processing the borax ores.
		Some trona is also used as a feed additive for cattle and chicken feed.

		I was expecting more of the sweet-and-sour pop that's become the band's calling card over the past two years; what I got was a band wailing away as though their parents had finally left the room.
		When Trona started two years ago, they went against the local grain by reveling in their own wussiness, a likely reaction against the high testosterone level of Dyas's previous band, Orangutang.
		At the time Trona were still playing the wuss-rock card, and the album's guitar sound is unfashionably thin, with the vocals pushed way up front (likely a band decision, since the tracks were done in four sessions with five different producers).
