A pyrite-rich waste stream is one of three types generated from a kyanite mine in central Virginia near the town of Dillwyn, Buckingham County. Currently, ore consists of approximately 3% pyrite waste and an estimated 382,000 tons of this waste stream has been generated over the past 60 years. The mineralogy of the waste stream consists of variable amounts of pyrite (70–>99%), talc (1–20%), quartz (1–10%), kyanite (0.5–5%) with minor or trace amounts of magnetite, hematite, galena, anorthite and rare earth phosphate. Energy dispersive spectroscopy analysis indicates that talc has minor amounts of Al up to 1.57 wt% and Fe up to 4.29 wt% and pyrite grains have no impurities above detection limit of approximately 0.1 wt%. Bulk chemical analysis of selected elements using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analysis indicate that Zn (28.82–367.71 ppm), As (8.94–18.26 ppm), Se (44.62–64.50 ppm), Cd (0.19–1.03 ppm), Hg (0.87–35.91 ppm), and Pb (65.10–189.66 ppm) occur at levels of some environmental concern. Au and Ag concentrations are negligible. Currently the waste stream is well managed and sold, but for a low price. Talc is of sufficient quality to be of interest for recycling but the estimated 540 tons generated per year is not a suitable quantity to be economically viable. Currently, the waste stream is not viable for recycling for higher monetary value; however, the characteristics of the pyrite may enable such recycling in the future for solar energy technologies. This and other associated waste streams show long term promise for integrated recycling and may play important economic roles in an economically disadvantaged region. 相似文献

A kyanite mine in central Virginia produces a silicate-rich waste stream which accumulates at a rate of 450,000–600,000 tons
per year. An estimated 27 million tons of this waste stream has accumulated over the past 60 years. Grain size distribution
varies between 1.000 and 0.053 mm, and is commonly bimodal with modes typically being 0.425 and 0.250 mm and uniformity coefficients
vary from 2.000 to 2.333. Hydraulic conductivity values vary from 0.017 to 0.047 cm/s. Mineralogy of the waste stream consists
of quartz, muscovite, kyanite and hematite. Muscovite grains have distinct chemical compositions with significant Na2O content (1.12–2.66 wt%), TiO2 content (0.63–1.68 wt% TiO2) and Fe content, expressed as Fe2O3 (up to 1.37 wt%). Major element compositions of samples were dominated by SiO2 (87.894–90.997 wt%), Al2O3 (6.759–7.741 wt%), Fe2O3 (1.136–1.283 wt%), and K2O (0.369–0.606 wt%) with other components being <1.000 wt%. Elements of environmental concern (V, Cr, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Ag,
Sn, Sb, Ba, Hg, Tl, and Pb) were detected; however, the concentrations of all elements except Ni were below that of the kyanite
quartzites in the region from which the waste is derived. Both major and trace element compositions indicate minimal variation
in composition. The waste stream has potential for recycling. Muscovite is suitable for recycling as a paint pigment or other
industrial applications. Muscovite and hematite are commonly intergrown and are interpreted to be material where much of the
elements of environmental concern are concentrated. Reprocessing of the waste stream to separate muscovite from other components
may enable the waste stream to be used as constructed wetland media for Virginia and nearby states. Recycling of this mine
waste may have a positive impact on the local economy of Buckingham County and aid in mitigation of wetland loss. 相似文献

El Teniente porphyry copper deposit, the world’s greatest intrusion-related Cu–Mo ore body, is hosted within basaltic–andesitic
volcanic and gabbroic rocks (mafic complex). This ore body is strongly affected by multiple events of alteration/mineralization
with pervasive potassic and chloritic alteration and coetaneous with associated copper mineralization. We present paleomagnetic
results obtained from oriented samples at four locations within the mine and from two drill cores, 200 and 400 m long, respectively.
Samples are representative of all the main hydrothermally altered rock units, with emphasis on the mafic host rock and dacitic
(Teniente dacite porphyry) and dioritic porphyry intrusions. Magnetic experiments [hysteresis loop, isothermal remanent magnetization
(IRM), k–T curves, thermal, and alternating field demagnetization] show the presence of prevailing magnetite. Microscope and SEM observations
show two families of magnetite, (a) large multidomain magnetite grains, associated with biotite and chlorite of various different
hydrothermal alteration events, and (b) abundant small to medium grain-size magnetite (<10 μm) contained within plagioclase,
either related to an early Na–Ca–Fe alteration or included within plagioclase during magmatic crystal growth. While the Teniente
dacite porphyry and the quartz diorite–tonalite have low magnetic susceptibility (<0.0005 SI) and low natural remanent magnetization
(NRM, 10−4–10−3 Am−1), the mineralized mafic host rocks have usually high susceptibility (>0.01 and up to 0.2 SI) with NRM in the range 0.1–2 Am−1. Most mafic complex rock samples have univectorial magnetizations during alternating field or thermal demagnetization. Within
the mine, the magnetic polarity is spatially distributed. In the northern part of the deposit, the Teniente dacite porphyry,
the associated hydrothermal breccias, and the hosting mafic complex record a reverse polarity magnetization, also observed
in the El Teniente sub-6 mine sector immediately to the east and southeast. In the eastern part of the deposit, a normal polarity
is observed for samples of the mafic complex from the two long drill cores. There is no evidence for superimposed magnetizations
of opposite polarities in samples of the mafic complex. Anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM) in a DC field of 40 μT and
NRM have similar magnitude and comparable behavior upon alternating field demagnetization. The well-defined strong remanent
magnetizations associated with high unblocking temperatures (>500°C) indicate an acquisition of remanent magnetization during
mineralization by circulating high temperature fluids related with ore deposition. Paleomagnetic results and the recorded
polarity zonation suggest multiple mineralization events occurred at El Teniente, each one with its own evolution stages,
superimposed within the district. These results indicate that a simplified broad four-stage model for El Teniente, as presented
and overly employed by many authors, divided in (1) late magmatic, (2) main hydrothermal, (3) late hydrothermal, and (4) posthumous
stage, does not recognize various short-lived single mineralization events, some superimposed and some distinctly separated
in time and space. There is no paleomagnetic evidence for post-mineralization deformation 相似文献

Environmental geochemistry of the Gulf Creek copper mine area, north-eastern New South Wales, Australia 总被引:13,自引:3,他引:10
Past mining and smelting of sulphide ore (pyrite-chalcopyrite-sphalerite) at the abandoned Gulf Creek mine has resulted in
a stream highly contaminated by acid mine drainage (pH: 2.2–3.4), as well as degradation of local soil and vegetation. Physical
dispersion of secondary metal-bearing minerals from abandoned ore and waste dumps into Gulf Creek and adsorption and coprecipitation
of dissolved metals and metalloids in the stream bed cause elevated Ag, As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb and Zn values in stream sediments.
The bioavailability of individual heavy metals to freshwater organisms changes downstream, however, selective bioaccumulation
processes in algae reject readily bioavailable Zn and concentrate less bioavailable Cu. Polluted soils in the vicinity of
the mine and smelter sites are subject to continuing soil erosion and either support no vegetation, or a depauperate flora
with certain species showing bioaccumulation of metals and resistance to high metal contents. Rehabilitation of disturbed
areas should involve covering and sealing sulphidic mine waste or removal of ore and waste dumps, installation of a physical
and chemical plant or construction of a wetland environment (plus anoxic lime drains), and import of topsoil and planting
of local, metal-tolerant plant species.

Behavior of heavy metals in sulfide mine tailings and bottom sediment (Salair,Kemerovo region,Russia) 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
The given work focused on solving the problem of environmental geochemistry related to investigation of element speciation,
their mobility, and migration in polluted areas. The purpose was to describe quantitatively migration, distribution, and redistribution
of heavy metals by the example of the old tailings (Talmovaya sands) of the Lead Zinc Concentration Plant (Salair, Kemerovo
region, Russia) and technogenic bottom sediments of the Malaya Talmovaya river. Contents of elements in the sulfide tailings
range in the following limits: Zn: 1,100–27,000 ppm, Cd: 1.3–240 ppm, Pb: 0.01–0.81 ppm, Cu: 220–960 ppm, As: 15–970 ppm,
Fe: 19,000–76,000 ppm, and Ba: 80,000–1,00,000 ppm. Element concentrations in the river sediment are proportional to the element
contents in the sulfide tailings. Element speciations in the sulfide tailings and technogenic bottom sediments were investigated
by the modified sequential extraction procedure. Chemical forms of heavy metals in pore water and surface water were calculated
by WATEQ4F software. Principles of heavy metal migration in the sulfide tailings and technogenic bottom deposits were established.
The obtained results about element species in the sulfide tailings and sediment explain the main principles of element migration
and redeposition. In the mine waste and technogenic bottom deposits, there is vertical substance transformation with formation
of geochemical barriers. 相似文献

High-resolution X-ray computed tomography (HRXCT) provides unique information of the geological and metallurgical significance
for gold and related ore minerals in the supergiant Grasberg porphyry Cu–Au deposit. Digital radiographs have proved to be
an effective means of screening samples for the presence of gold for HRXCT studies. Digital radiograph effectiveness is limited
by the thickness of samples (typically to ≤2 cm), as well as the associated minerals. Thus, preselecting samples for gold
studies using HRXCT is most effective using digital radiographs combined with assay information. Differentiating between metallic
mineral grains with relatively small differences in density, e.g., bornite (5.1 g/cm3) from chalcopyrite (4.2 g/cm3), is relatively straightforward for isolated monominerallic grains or composites in a similar lower-density matrix, but difficulties
are encountered with the interpretation of typical intergrown ore minerals. X-ray beam-hardening artifacts lead to inconsistency
in attenuation determination, both within and among slice images, complicating quantitative processing. However, differentiation
of chalcopyrite and bornite has been successful in smaller-diameter (≤22-mm) cores of Grasberg ores. Small-diameter (≤10 mm)
cores of the Grasberg stockwork Cu–Au ore were analyzed using HRXCT methods scanned at the minimum spacing currently available
(7.5 μm), and data reduction protocols using the Blob3D program were modified to improve the quantification of grain sizes
and shapes. Grains as small as 6.5 μm have been identified. All of these grains are in direct contact with chalcopyrite, providing
support for gold distribution in porphyry copper systems being a result of exsolution from copper sulfides. HRXCT scanning
(±digital radiography) precisely defines the in situ location of mineral grains of interest within a sample, which then can
be studied in conventional petrographic sections, and other types of analytical studies conducted, e.g., gold trace element
geochemistry. 相似文献

Open-cast mining generates sediment in river systems at globally significant scales. One of the challenges in attributing
measured sediment loads to upstream mining activities is establishing the source of sediments that are a mixture of natural
and mining-based materials. The environmental magnetic data (mass-specific magnetic susceptibility, anhysteretic remanent
magnetisation, isothermal remanent magnetisation and inter-parametric ratios) on 57 samples of suspended sediment from the
Bhadra River in the Sahyadri (the Western Ghat) of India have been used in this study. Samples were collected upstream, adjacent to and downstream of
Kudremukh, a mountainous and high rainfall site where the largest mechanised open-cast mine in south Asia was located. Graphical
and multivariate analyses and modelling of the data show that on average ~29% of the river suspended load downstream of the
mine is derived from mining and allied activities at Kudremukh although the mine occupies less than 5% of the catchment. The
contribution of primary ore is the maximum (18%), followed by transitional hard weathered ore (7%) and weathered ore (4%).
The model has done a fairly good job of unmixing; the sum of errors is <1 for 40 samples, 1–4,254 for five samples and >71,000
for four samples. Modelling of samples with small mass seems to produce large errors. This investigation demonstrates the
utility of environmental magnetic data, which can be obtained in a simple and rapid manner, and the unmixing of such data
in identifying the contribution of mining activities to the total suspended sediment load. 相似文献

Environmental geochemistry and quality assessment of mine water of Jharia coalfield,India 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A long mining history and unscientific exploitation of Jharia coalfield caused many environmental problems including water
resource depletion and contamination. A geochemical study of mine water in the Jharia coalfield has been undertaken to assess
its quality and suitability for domestic, industrial and irrigation uses. For this purpose, 92 mine water samples collected
from different mining areas of Jharia coalfield were analysed for pH, electrical conductivity (EC), major cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, K+), anions (F−, Cl−, HCO3
−, SO4
2−, NO3
−), dissolved silica (H4SiO4) and trace metals. The pH of the analysed mine water samples varied from 6.2 to 8.6, indicating mildly acidic to alkaline
nature. Concentration of TDS varied from 437 to 1,593 mg L−1 and spatial differences in TDS values reflect the variation in lithology, surface activities and hydrological regime prevailing
in the region. SO4
2− and HCO3
− are dominant in the anion and Mg2+ and Ca2+ in the cation chemistry of mine water. High concentrations of SO4
2− in the mine water of the area are attributed to the oxidative weathering of pyrites. Ca–Mg–SO4 and Ca–Mg–HCO3 are the dominant hydrochemical facies. The drinking water quality assessment indicates that number of mine water samples
have high TDS, total hardness and SO4
2− concentrations and needs treatment before its utilization. Concentrations of some trace metals (Fe, Mn, Ni, Pb) were also
found to be above the desirable levels recommended for drinking water. The mine water is good to permissible quality and suitable
for irrigation in most cases. However, higher salinity, residual sodium carbonate and Mg-ratio restrict its suitability for
irrigation at some sites. 相似文献

The Sanggok mine used to be one of the largest lead-zinc mines in the Hwanggangri mining district, Republic of Korea. The
present study characterizes the heavy metal contamination in the abandoned Sanggok mine creek on the basis of physico-chemical
properties of various kinds of water samples (mine, surface and groundwater). Hydrochemistry of the water samples is characterized
by the relatively significant enrichment of Ca2+, HCO3
–, NO3
– and Cl– in the surface and groundwaters, whereas the mine water is relatively enriched in Ca2+, Mg2+, heavy metals, and HCO3
– and SO4
2–. The more polluted mine water has a lower pH and higher Eh, conductivity and TDS values. The concentrations of some toxic
elements (Al, As, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Pb, Se, Sr, Pb and Zn) are tens to hundreds of times higher in the mine water than in the
unpolluted surface and groundwaters. However, most immobile toxic pollutants from the mine drainage were quickly removed from
the surface water by the precipitation of Al and Fe oxyhydroxides. Geochemical modeling showed that potentially toxic heavy
metals might exist largely in the forms of MSO4
2– and M2+ in the mine water. These metals in the surface and groundwaters could form M2+, CO3
2– and OH– complex ions. Computer simulation indicates that the saturation indices of albite, alunite, anhydrite, chlorite, fluorite,
gypsum, halloysite and strontianite in the water samples are undersaturated and have progressively evolved toward the saturation
condition. However, barite, calcite, chalcedony, dolomite, gibbsite, illite and quartz were in equilibrium, and only clay
minerals were supersaturated. Ground and mine waters seemed to be in equilibrium with kaolinite field, but some surface water
were in equilibrium with gibbsite and seceded from the stability field of quartz. This indicates that surface water samples
in reaction with carbonate rocks would first equilibrate with carbonate minerals, then gibbsite to kaolinite. Investigations
on water quality and environmental improvement of the severely polluted Sanggok creek, as well as remediation methods on the
possible future pollution of the groundwater by the acid mine drainage from the abandoned metal mines, are urgently required.

Zircon grains separated from 2 granulites from the eastern Himalaya were investigated by Raman spectroscopy, cathodoluminescence
imaging, and secondary ion mass spectrometry. These grains have a thin homogeneous rim and an oscillatory inner zone domain
with or without a relict inherited core. Garnet, kyanite, and rutile inclusions were identified within only the rim domain
of zircon grains, indicating that the rim had formed during peak granulite-facies metamorphism. U–Pb zircon data record three
distinct age populations: 1,805 Ma (for the inherited core), ca. 500 Ma (oscillatory inner zone), as well as 24–25 Ma and
ca. 18 Ma (for the metamorphic rim). These new precision ages suggest that the peak metamorphic age for the HP granulite is
at ca. 24–25 Ma, and subsequent amphibolite-facies retrograde metamorphism occurred at ca. 18 Ma. 相似文献

The Jinbaoshan Pt–Pd deposit in Yunnan, SW China, is hosted in a wehrlite body, which is a member of the Permian (∼260 Ma)
Emeishan Large Igneous Province (ELIP). The deposit is reported to contain one million tonnes of Pt–Pd ore grading 0.21% Ni
and 0.16% Cu with 3.0 g/t (Pd + Pt). Platinum-group minerals (PGM) mostly are ∼10 μm in diameter, and are commonly Te-, Sn-
and As-bearing, including moncheite (PtTe2), atokite (Pd3Sn), kotulskite (PdTe), sperrylite (PtAs2), irarsite (IrAsS), cooperite (PtS), sudburyite (PdSb), and Pt–Fe alloy. Primary rock-forming minerals are olivine and clinopyroxene,
with clinopyroxene forming anhedral poikilitic crystals surrounding olivine. Primary chromite occurs either as euhedral grains
enclosed within olivine or as an interstitial phase to the olivine. However, the intrusion has undergone extensive hydrothermal
alteration. Most olivine grains have been altered to serpentine, and interstitial clinopyroxene is often altered to actinolite/tremolite
and locally biotite. Interstitial chromite grains are either partially or totally replaced by secondary magnetite. Base-metal
sulfides (BMS), such as pentlandite and chalcopyrite, are usually interstitial to the altered olivine. PGM are located with
the BMS and are therefore also interstitial to the serpentinized olivine grains, occurring within altered interstitial clinopyroxene
and chromite, or along the edges of these minerals, which predominantly altered to actinolite/tremolite, serpentine and magnetite.
Hydrothermal fluids were responsible for the release of the platinum-group elements (PGE) from the BMS to precipitate the
PGM at low temperature during pervasive alteration. A sequence of alteration of the PGM has been recognized. Initially moncheite
and atokite have been corroded and recrystallized during the formation of actinolite/tremolite, and then, cooperite and moncheite
were altered to Pt–Fe alloy where they are in contact with serpentine. Sudburyite occurs in veins indicating late Pd mobility.
However, textural evidence shows that the PGM are still in close proximity to the BMS. They occur in PGE-rich layers located
at specific igneous horizons in the intrusion, suggesting that PGE were originally magmatic concentrations that, within a
PGE-rich horizon, crystallized with BMS late in the olivine/clinopyroxene crystallization sequence and have not been significantly
transported during serpentinization and alteration. 相似文献

Surface water samples from the Drake mining area show elevated metal concentrations, notably cadmium, iron and zinc. A detailed
study of a sphalerite /quartz vein from Strauss Pit and chalcopyrite and pyrite from the Adeline mine and Strauss Pit indicate
that micro-scale analyses of ores are necessary for environmental management of mine sites. Analyses show that Cd is elevated,
up to 2.1 % by weight, and is associated with sphalerite, replacing Zn, or to a lesser extent replacing Pb within small galena
grains. High concentrations of Cu are also associated with the Strauss Pit ore as small chalcopyrite grains along the margins
of the sphalerite vein, within the central quartz zone of the vein system, and as replacement rims on sphalerite grains. Chalcopyrite
from the Adeline mine area, is by comparison, metal poor, but still contains elevated heavy metal concentrations. Whereas,
pyrite and chalcopyrite, from Strauss Pit have variable heavy metal concentrations, with chalcopyrite from within sphalerite
veins having higher Cd and Zn concentrations than chalcopyrite distal to the veins. Cadmium and other heavy metals within
the ores are mobilised during sulphide weathering and enter the drainage network; precipitation of secondary oxidation minerals
act as temporary stores for many heavy metals. The complexity of the mineral and heavy metal associations at Strauss Pit suggest
that a detailed knowledge of these associations and distributions within ore bodies, and associated waste rocks, are needed
by environmental managers of mine sites because the presence of havy metals may greatly affect the decision making process,
and management strategies employed.

Strategic mine planning includes different cut-off grade policy depending on economic parameters of mining projects and grade–tonnage
distribution of the deposit. Minimizing incorrect classification of ore and waste during grade–tonnage distribution is of
critical importance for a mining operation. This article reviews the influence of the ore grade–tonnage distribution over
the cut-off grade policy in a given mining operation. In this study, firstly, the interpolation parameters used to characterize
the grade–tonnage distribution in the orebody are given. The resulting distribution of ore and waste is used to analyze uncertainty,
risk impact, and to justify mine-planning decisions, according to the interpolation technique used and the number of geological
settings and sampling scenarios being considered. Then, the working scheme of the cut-off grade policy and economic parameters
are compared according to the resulting estimation from the inverse distance and the nearest neighbor methods. 相似文献

Submicroscopic opaque particles from highly shocked granite-gneisses close to the core of the Vredefort impact structure
have been investigated by means of micro-analytical techniques with high spatial resolution such as electron diffraction,
orientation contrast imagery and magnetic force microscopy. The opaque particles have been identified as nano- to micro-sized
magnetite that occur in several distinct modes. In one sample magnetite occurs along relict planar deformation features (PDFs)
in quartz, generally accepted as typical shock lamellae. The magnetite particles along shock lamellae in quartz grains virtually
all show uniform crystallographic orientations. In most instances, the groups of magnetite within different quartz grains
are systematically misorientated such that they share a subparallel <101> direction. The magnetite groups of all measured
quartz grains thus appear to have a crystallographic preferred orientation in space. In a second sample, orientations of magnetite
particles have been measured in microfractures (non-diagnostic of shock) of quartz, albite and in the alteration halos, (e.g.
biotite grains breaking down to chlorite). The crystallographic orientations of magnetite particles are diverse, with only
a minor portion having a preferred orientation. Scanning electron microscopy shows that magnetite along the relict PDFs is
invariably associated with other microcrystalline phases such as quartz, K-feldspar and biotite. Petrographic observations
suggest that these microcrystalline phases crystallized from locally formed micro-melts that intruded zones of weakness such
as microfractures and PDFs shortly after the shock event. The extremely narrow widths of the PDFs suggest that heat may have
dissipated rapidly resulting in melts crystallizing relatively close to where they were generated. Magnetic force microscopy
confirms the presence of magnetic particles along PDFs. The smallest particles, <5 μm with high aspect ratios 15:1 usually
exhibit intense, uniform magnetic signals characteristic of single-domain magnetite. Consistent offsets between attractive
and repulsive magnetic signals of individual single-domain particles suggest consistent directions of magnetization for a
large proportion of particles.

Copper contamination in soils and vegetables in the vicinity of an abandoned copper mine in China was investigated. The Cu
concentrations of 93 soil samples ranged from 30.4 to 3,191 mg kg−1 soil for a mean of 816.8 mg kg−1 soil. Among 15 samples from a 0 to 20-cm soil layer used for the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP) test,
the highest value of Cu-TCLP was 133.8 mg kg−1 soil and the TCLP values were positively correlated with the total Cu content of the soils. The sequential extraction of
soils in the 0–20-, 20–40-, and 40–60-cm soil layers showed that Cu existed mainly in the Fe–Mn oxide fraction, sulfide/organic
fraction, and residual fraction. The copper contamination of 21 species of vegetables from in situ sampling was also examined.
Cu concentrations in the edible portions of Brassica chinensis and Solanum melongena were higher than the FAO/WHO standard (40 mg kg−1 DW). The health risk of copper for local inhabitants from consuming these vegetables was assessed on the basis of the target
hazard quotient. Enriched concentrations of copper were also found in situ in eight cultivars of B. chinensis planted in the fields, with two levels of Cu concentration. The results showed that there is severe copper contamination
in this mine area, and the pollutant in soils show a high risk of leaching into the groundwater and diffusing through the
food chain. 相似文献

Stabilization of arsenic-contaminated mine tailings using natural and calcined oyster shells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Natural oyster shells (NOS) and calcined oyster shells (COS) were used to immobilize arsenic (As) from contaminated mine tailings.
In addition, a blend of Portland cement (PC)/cement kiln dust (CKD) was used as a stabilizing agent. The Korean Standard Test
(KST) method (1 N HCl extraction) was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. The experimental results showed
that COS effectively immobilized As in treated mine tailings. Specifically, an As concentration less than 1 mg L−1 was obtained following COS treatment at 25 and 30 wt%. However, all the samples subjected to NOS treatments failed the Korean
warning standard of 1.2 mg L−1 after 28 days of curing. All of the COS-PC treatments were successful meeting the Korean warning standard after 7 days of
curing. However, the PC-only treatment failed to meet the Korean warning standard. Similarly, the CKD-only treatment was failed
to meet the Korean warning standard after 7 days of curing. However, the COS-CKD treatment showed that when the COS content
was greater than 20 wt%, less than 1 mg L−1 of As leachability was obtained. Scanning electron microscopy–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM–EDX) showed needle-like
and torpedo-like Ca–As phases in the COS-treated samples suggesting that As was strongly associated with Ca and O. X-ray absorption
near edge structure (XANES) analyses confirmed that As(V) was prevalent in the tailings and that there were no changes in
As speciation following NOS or COS treatment. 相似文献

A pristine magnetite (Fe3O4) specimen was studied by means of Neutron Powder Diffraction in the 273–1,073 K temperature range, in order to characterize
its structural and magnetic behavior at high temperatures. An accurate analysis of the collected data allowed the understanding
of the behavior of the main structural and magnetic features of magnetite as a function of temperature. The magnetic moments
of both tetrahedral and octahedral sites were extracted by means of magnetic diffraction up to the Curie temperature (between
773 and 873 K). A change in the thermal expansion coefficient around the Curie temperature together with an increase in the
oxygen coordinate value above 700 K can be observed, both features being the result of a change in the thermal expansion of
the tetrahedral site. This anomaly is not related to the magnetic transition but can be explained with an intervened cation
reordering, as magnetite gradually transforms from a disordered configuration into a partially ordered one. Based on a simple
model which takes into account the cation-oxygen bond length, the degree of order as a function of temperature and consequently
the enthalpy and entropy of the reordering process were determined. The refined values are ΔH0 = −23.2(1.7) kJ mol−1 and ΔS0 = −16(2) J K−1 mol−1. These results are in perfect agreement with values reported in literature (Mack et al. in Solid State Ion 135(1–4):625–630,
2000; Wu and Mason in J Am Ceramic Soc 64(9):520–522, 1981). 相似文献

In this study, we have investigated the formation of quartz–kyanite veins of the Alpe Sponda, Central Alps, Switzerland. We
have integrated field observations, fluid inclusion and stable isotope data and combined this with numerical geochemical modeling
to constrain the chemical processes of aluminum transport and deposition. The estimated P–T conditions of the quartz–kyanite
veins, based on conventional geothermometry (garnet–biotite, white mica solvus and quartz–kyanite oxygen isotope thermometry)
and fluid inclusion data, are 550 ± 30°C at 5.0 ± 0.5 kbar. Geochemical modeling involved construction of aqueous species
predominance diagrams, calculation of kyanite and quartz solubility, and reaction–path simulations. The results of the modeling
demonstrate that (1) for the given chemical composition of the vein-forming fluids mixed Al–Si aqueous species are dominant
in transporting Al, and that (2) fluid cooling along a small temperature gradient coupled with a pH decrease is able to explain
the precipitation of the quartz–kyanite assemblages in the proportions that are observed in the Alpe Sponda veins. We conclude
that sufficient amounts of Al can be transported in typical medium- to high-grade regional metamorphic fluids and that immobile
behavior of Al is not very likely in advection–dominanted fluid–rock systems in the upper and middle crust. 相似文献

This study investigates the geochemical characteristics of the acid mine drainage discharged from the abandoned mine adits and tailing piles in the vicinity of the Lousal mine and evaluates the extent of pollution on water and on the stream sediments of the Corona stream. Atmospheric precipitation interacting with sulphide minerals in exposed tailings produces runoff water with pH values as low as 1.9–2.9 and high concentrations of
(9,249–20,700 mg l−1), Fe (959–4,830 mg l−1) and Al (136–624 mg l−1). The acidic effluents and mixed stream water carry elevated Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd and As concentrations that exceed the water quality standards. However, the severity of contamination generally decreases 4 km downstream of the source due to mixing with fresh waters, which causes the dilution of dissolved toxic metals and neutralization of acidity. Some natural attenuation of the contaminants also occurs due to the general reduced solubility of most trace metals, which may be removed from solution, by either co-precipitation or adsorption to the iron and aluminium precipitates. 相似文献
