Environmental aspects of selected trace metals in soils and waters surrounding Singaran Nala, Raniganj Coalfield

The Raniganj Coalfield is the oldest coalfield in India that has been continuously and extensively mined since the late eighteenth century. The present study reports a geochemical investigation and environmental quality assessment using soil and water in the area surrounding a stream, locally known as Singaran Nala （Nala means storm water drains in Bengali）, in the Raniganj Coalfield. Soil （top soil, mud, silty clay and laterite） and rock samples （sandstone and shale） were collected from the study area and were analyzed for trace metals （Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Zn）. Surface waters from the stream and the Damodar River as well as ground waters from hand pumps and underground mine pits were collected. Water samples were analyzed for major ions （Na^＋, Ca^2＋, Mg^2＋, Cl^-, HNO3^- and SO4^2-） and trace metals （Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn）. Trace metal concentrations in soil samples are found higher than the average world soil composition. Nevertheless, trace metal （Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn） concentrations in soils exceed or reach the maximum allowable concentrations （MAC） proposed by the European Commission for agricultural soils. In particular, Ni concentrations exceed the typical value for cultivated soils. Chromium, Cu and Ni concentrations in laterite and Cr concentration in topsoil exceed the ecotoxicological limit.

含金硫化物基岩区红土型金矿的成矿作用

实验表明，在含金硫化物基岩区，硫代硫酸金络阴离子团和硫酸金络阴离子团是金在表生条件下的主要迁移形式，它们的沉淀与铁、锰氢氧化物的形成有密切联系。金的表生迁移－沉淀条件除一般的表生地质条件外，还有特殊的物理化学－生物化学条件。络阴离子团的地球化学性质，控制着红土型金矿床的垂向分带与金的次生富集。     

东南亚典型红土型镍矿床的成矿特征与找矿思路

镍矿石主要来自2种矿床类型:硫化物型和红土型,其中硫化物型镍占总储量28%,而红土型镍占到72%(Elias,2002)。硫化物型镍矿床品位高、杂质少和易选冶,一直以来是全球镍金属提炼的主要矿石来源。当前,国际上大多数硫化物型镍矿山的资源储量已不容乐观,重视红土型镍矿床的勘探开发和利用势在必行(Gleeson et al.,2003;王

A study on the adsorption of chromium on laterite from Guizhou Province,China

The adsorption behaviors of Cr(VI) on laterite from Guizhou Province were studied in this paper, and the adsorption mechanism was discussed as well. Results showed that different mineral compositions in the laterite would cause differences in the capacity of laterite to absorb Cr(VI). Gibbsite, iron oxide minerals and non-crystalloids are the main contributors to enhancing the capacity of laterite to absorb Cr(VI). The pH of the solution is an important factor affecting the adsorption of Cr(VI) on laterite. Acidic environment (pH=2–5) is favorable to the adsorption of Cr(VI). The amount of adsorbed Cr(VI) decreases with increasing pH of the solution. With increasing initial concentrations of Cr(VI), the amount of adsorbed Cr(VI) increases first, and then decreases. The optimal adsorption concentration of Cr(VI) on laterite is 250 μg/mL. The adsorption of Cr(VI) on laterite is a rapid process, about 80% Cr(VI) will be adsorbed within 2 hours. And the adsorption of Cr(VI) on kaolinite is a slow process.
