Understanding the heat transfer across energy piles is the first step in designing these systems. The thermal process goes in an energy pile, as in a borehole heat exchanger, in different stages: heat transfer through the ground, conduction through pile concrete and heat exchanger pipes, and convection in the fluid and at the interface with the inner surface of the

Ion exchange. In the ion-exchange process, a metal ion, R 3+, in solution exchanges with three protons on a solid ion exchanger—a natural zeolite or a synthetic resin—that is normally called the resin. The tenacity with which the cation is held by the resin depends upon the size of the ion and its charge. However, no separation of the rare earths is
