  • Assessment of Ornamental Stone Waste as Expansive Soil Stabilizer

    Abdel Monem M;Soltan.Waleed A.Ogila;

    This work aims to assessment of the calcitic ornamental stone waste for the stabilization of expansive soil. Calcitic rock-derived waste together with different expansive soils from Egypt were characterized and processed for stabilizer optimization. The mineral, chemical and engineering characteristics of the waste and the soil samples were examined using XRD, DTA, TGA, SEM, XRF as well as geotechnical characteristics such as liquid, plastic and shrinkage limits, plasticity index, free swelling, and uni-axial compressive strength, respectively. The calcitic waste has been calcined in an electrical muffle furnace at 1000℃ for 1 hour. The samples were treated by 0–8% waste post calcination for soaking time1– 4 weeks.

  • Mineral Chemistry of Scheelite as An Indicator of Multi-stage Fluid Evolution Associated with the Riviera W-REE-Mo Deposit South Africa

    Abraham Rozendaal;Rene Heyn;

    The Neoproterozoic Riviera W-REE-Mo deposit is one of the largest unmined tungsten resources in the world and is associated with pervasively altered A-type granites of the Neoproterozoic Cape Granite Suite Western Cape, South Africa. The present study investigated the mineral chemistry of scheelite, the principal ore mineral with the aim to record the variation of solid solution molybdenum for geometallurgical purposes and also as an indicator of changing redox conditions of the mineralizing hydrothermal fluids. Methodology included UV-fluorescence studies and micro-analyses by LA-ICP-MS. Results have shown that at least four phases of scheelite are hosted by the endoskarn zone, potassic alteration zone and various quartz-carbonate veins. This reflects hydrothermal fluid evolution from early stage reduced to late stage, vein associated and more oxidized. The molybdenum content of the dominant early phase scheelite is low and renders the deposit amenable to low penalty mineral recovery.

  • Applied Mineralogical Studies on Iranian Titanium Deposits

    Akbar Mehdilo;Mehdi Irannajad;Bahram Rezai;

    Qara-aghaj and Skandian as hard rock titanium deposit and Kahnooj one as a placer deposit were investigated from applied mineralogical point of view. The mineralogical studies were carried out using XRD, XRF, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and microprobe analysis. These studies indicated that ilmenite and magnetite are main valuable minerals in the studied ores. Pyroxene, olivine and plagioclase are the main gangue minerals in Qara-aghaj ore while chlorite and plagioclase are the major gangue minerals in Skandian ore. Plagioclase, clinopyroxene, amphibole, feldspate and some quartz are the important gangue minerals in kahnooj deposit. In all three ores ilmenite is mainly in the form of ilmenite grains but some lamellae of ilmenite with thickness between 0.1 to 20 μm have been occurred as exsolution textures inside magnetite grains, where the magnetite here can be referred to as ilmenomagnetite. In the hard rock ores some fine ilmenites have been disseminated in silicate minerals. The liberation degree of granular ilmenite was determined 150, 140 and 200 μm for Qara-aghaj, Skandian and Kahnooj, respectively. So, only the granular form of ilmenite is recoverable by physical methods. Some sphene and rutile as titanium containing minerals were observed mainly inside ilmenite phase in kahnooj ore. Some fine rutile was also found inside Skandian ilmenite while there were not any other titanium minerals inside Qara-aghaj ilmenite. Apatite is another valuable mineral which was found only in Qara-aghaj ore. Using SEM and microprobe analysis it was found that there are different amounts of exsolved fine lamellae of hematite inside ilmenite in Qara-aghaj and Kahnooj ores while it was not observed in Sckandian one. The average contents of TiO2 in the lattice of Qara-aghaj, Skandian and Kahnooj ilmenite were determined 51.13, 50.9% and 52.02%, respectively. FeO content of ilmenite lattice for all three samples is clearly lower than the theoretical content. This is due to the substitution of Mg and Mn for some Fe2+ ions in the ilmenite lattice. V2O3 content of magnetite lattice is up to 1%. So, magnetite can be a suitable source for production of vanadium as a by-product in all three deposits.

  • The Middle Jurassic Siderite Iron Ore Deposits in Southern Poland

    Aleksandra Kozowska;Marta Kuberska;Anna Feldman-Olszewska;Katarzyna Jarmo owicz-Szulc;Anna Maliszewska;

    The beginning of iron ore mining in southern Poland dates back to very ancient times. The largest underground iron ore mine from Roman times was discovered in the northern margin of the Holy Cross Mountains, near Nowa S upia. In the seventeenth century the intensive development of iron mining occurred in this area. The iron ore mines from the Cz stochowa-Wieluń area started in the fourteenth century. Several iron ore mines in both areas worked in the 20-ies and 30-ies of the twentieth century. Since the beginning of the 70's the ore mining has been under reduction in connection with the decision of liquidation of the iron ore mining industry in Poland. The stage of the mine closure finished in 1982, when last mines closed down in the Cz stochowa-Wieluń area.

  • Calcium Phosphate Mineralization of Bacteria

    Anatoly T.Titov;Piter M.Larionov;Vladimir I.Zaikovskii;

    The present work deals with the investigation of mineralization of coccus bacteria infecting human organism, for the Staphylococcus aureus colony as example. The structure and morphology in calcified heard valves and their bioprostheses were investigated.Infectious (septic) endocarditis is characteristic of all the heart valves of this series. About 50 samples of heart valves and their bioprostheses (porcine) subjected to calcium phosphate mineralization were studied. In addition, for more details, we carried out modeling of the ion composition of blood plasma with respect to major elements with the microbial culture of Staphylococcus aureus. In the experiments, a colony of bacteria on solid agar was placed in the aqueous solution with ion concentrations Са = 1.33 mM; Р = 1.5 mM; Mg = 1 mM; NaCl = 0.15 M. The composition of the solution corresponded to the concentrations of ionized elements in the blood of a healthy adult person. The colony of bacteria was in the upper part of the solution.

  • Economical Potential of An Ultramafic Rock at The Kval ya Island, North Norway

    Anna Pryadunenko;Kre Kullerud;

    A low-grade metamorphic ultramafic rock at the Kval ya Island, North Norway, shows Ni content up to 5 600 ppm, and an average content of 2 500 ppm Ni. Olivine is absent from the rock, and Ni is principally bonded in pentlandite, violarite and millerite. The rock might be considered as a low-grade ore, with 0.2wt%– 0.56wt% Ni. Other metals that might be of economic interest to extract from the rock include Co (from pentlandite and violarite), and Cr and Fe (from magnetite).

  • Synthesis and Characterization of Mesoporous Carbons Using Attapulgite Template

    CAO Xi;CHUAN Xiu-yun;

    The template carbonization method was utilized for the production of mesoporous carbons using attapulgite as a template and sucrose as carbon precursor. Sucrose was polymerized and carbonized in the tubes of natural attapulgite using a sulfuric acid catalyst. The structure of the template and carbons were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and Nitrogen adsorption analysis techniques. At the micrometer level, the carbon material templated with the natural attapulgite had the similar morphology. Nitrogen adsorption analysis showed that the obtained porous carbons possess a wide pore size distribution and a large pore volume, especially in the range of mesopores.

  • Gold Characterization by MLA and Technological Tests-Discussion of Sample Preparation and Results

    Carina Ulsen;Henrique Kahn;Guilherme Nery;Daniel Uliana;Juliana L.Antoniassi;

    Gold has been present throughout the history of mankind and used to make jewelry and coins, and recently, acquired several industrial uses. The price of gold in international market had a significant increasing, surpassing 100% in the last five years. Thereby, deposits with low levels of gold content, gold with complex associations or in a very fine particle size became exploitable again, allowing new projects and expansion of existing ones. However, for maximum process efficiency is indispensable a deep knowledge of the characteristics of these minerals and their behavior in face of beneficiation processes. Consequently, an accurate routine for mineralogical and technological characterization is essential.

  • Influence of Thermal Reduction Temperature on Hydrophilic of Graphene Oxide

    CHEN Jungang;PENG Tongjiang;SUN Hongjuan;

    The thermostability, structure, oxidized functional group and hydrophilic of the different reduction temperature of graphene oxide were investigated by TG-DTA, XRD, FTIR, Raman and Water contact angle analysis. There are three stages in the process. The first stage, under 150℃, desorption of adsorbed water on the graphene oxide, hydrophilic is best. The second stage, at 150–300℃, thermal decomposition of partial oxide functional group, graphene oxide was partly thermal reduction, hydrophilic diminishing. The third stage, at 300–550℃, temperature of 300–450℃ when oxidized functional group of graphene oxide is further decomposition, hydrophilic further reduced, temperature of 450–550℃, the carbon skeleton of graphene oxide decomposition. The thermal reduction process of graphene oxide only removed the oxidized functional group their structural deficiencies have not been restored, but due to thermal reduction process and build new structure defect.

  • Composition Characteristic and Surface Charge Simulation of Atmospheric Dust Fall in Tianshui City

    CHEN Wu;DONG Faqin;DAI Qunwei;YANG Jie;NIU Zhen;

    In order to know the particle size distribution and mineral compositions of dust in Maiji town, Tianshui City, Gansu Province, size distribution and physical compositions of atmosphere natural dropping dust have been analyzed. Based on the natural dropping dust ζ potential and the mass percentage of main mineral compositions in dust fall, we present two models (calculation method and hybrid method) for the zeta potential of atmospheric dust fall in pure water. The results illustrated that the natural dropping dust in Maiji town belongs to inhalable particles. The main mineral compositions and contents of the dust are quartz (57.08%), calcite (27.79%), albite (10.29%), muscovite (4.84%). Atmospheric dust fall in pure water is electronegativity and ζ potential decreased with increasing pH. There are some differences exist in the two modeling ways, but have a similar tendency. The zeta potential differences between natural dropping dust and modeling dust reflects the zeta potential contribution rate of main mineral particles in dust and the effect of trace polarity organic pollutants or other minerals.

  • Analyzing the Characteristics and Available Attributes of Skarn Gold Deposit Tailings

    CHENG Yun-hong;HUANG Fei;LI Guang-lu;YANG Qing-yu;HAN Peng;LIU Rui;

    Skarn gold deposit tailings is a kind of tailings which is difficult to be utilized effectively. Taking a skarn gold deposit tailings from Hubei province, in China, as an example, the paper has tested and analyzed the tailings, and studied the characteristics and available attributes of the tailings, and provided scientific and efficient utilization approaches of tailings in the area of building materials further. The results showed that major mineral phases in the tailings is quartz, particle sizes of the tailings mainly exist in 10–100 μm, and the tailings has no pozzolanic activity. As a result, this kind of tailings can be used for building sand, and can be used as supplementary cementing material of concrete based on mechano-chemistry

  • Automated Mineral Liberation Analysis on a Multipurpose SEM

    Christian Lang;Matthew Hiscock;Jussi Liipo;Hans Otterstroem;

    Ore grades are currently declining and mines are increasingly required to operate more efficiently in order to save costs and conserve resources. As a result, automated procedures to control and measure process efficiency have become popular: The demand for sustainable mining and metals processing is globally increasing. Mineral Liberation Analysis is a well established technique to analyse and optimize mining processes and its significance to process mineralogy studies and mineral & metallurgical processing has been widely reported. Dedicated systems consisting of an optimized scanning electron microscopes (SEM) and usually several X-ray detectors are an established solution. With the advent of large area SDDs (Silicon drift detector) and progress in stage automation on conventional SEMs, the speed of X-Ray acquisition is no longer a limiting factor. However, until now, the particle analysis packages on commercially available systems do not lend themselves to Mineral Liberation Analysis without significant modification. INCAMineral is a new solution for mineral liberation analysis which runs on conventional SEMs equipped with large area SDDs.

  • Reciprocity Effect between Silicate Bacteria and Wollastonite

    DAI Qunwei;DONG Fa-qin;ZHAO Yulian;DENG Jianjun;

    This paper studied the reciprocity effect between wollastonite and a strain silicate bacterium from purple soil. We analyzed the changes of pH value, glucose (GLU) residual concentration, electrolyte and Mn, Si, Fe etc. in the culture liquid with wollastonite after 48 h. The results show that the GLU wastage of silicate bacteria with wollastonite is 2.5 times of the bacterial contrast. It showed wollastonite could obviously accelerate silicate bacteria growth, but bacterial cell broken and distorted badly have been found by SEM analysis. The solubilization of silicate bacteria to Si element of wollastonite reached above 10 times. At the same time, three apices in FTIR of wollastonite (898 cm-1, 925 cm-1, 962 cm-1) descended obviously after the action of silicate bacteria, which shows that a great deal of Si has dissolved out. So we can get that wollastonite has remarkable effect to the growth of silicate bacteria and silicate bacteria has obvious solubilization to Si of wollastonite.

  • Process Mineralogy of Lateritic Nickel Ore

    Daniel Uliana;M.Manuela M.Lé Tassinari;Henrique Kah;Marco Antonio Angora;

    This paper presents a methodology for studying low grade lateritic nickel ore, which usually presents complex mineralogy, with widespread nickel in several mineral phases. The study is focused on determining the mineralogy and the distribution of nickel in the bearing minerals. Laboratory assays comprise homogenization, sampling and particle size analysis. Chemical analyses by X-ray fluorescence are performed in all fractions sizes, while mineralogical assessments by X-ray diffraction are carried out for head sample. The mineralogical composition of the samples and the partition of main elements in the bearing minerals are assayed by size fraction through automated image analysis software (MLA) coupled to a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The chemical compositions of the several minerals identified in MLA are determined during systematic observations on SEM with energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).

  • Clay-Microbe Interactions and Implication for Remediation of Inorganic Contaminants

    DONG Hailiang;

    Mineral–microbe interactions indirectly affect the geochemical fluxes and biogeochemical cycling of a large number of elements. Among them are toxic heavy metals (e.g. chromium), radionuclides (uranium and technetium), and nitrogen. Heavy metals and radionuclides enter the environment from various sources such as mining activity, nuclear weapons production, metallurgical and chemical industries. Other metals, such as lead, arsenic, antimony, and cadmium, are enriched in certain environments by either natural or anthropogenic processes. Because many of these metals and radionuclides are carcinogens, their release into the environment and their fate cause intense scientific and public concern and are the subject of substantial research. Nitrate enters the environment largely through agricultural activity. Human health risks from nitrate uptake from drinking water supplies run the gamut from increased cancer risk to birth defects.

  • Quantitative Ore Analysis Solution

    Eddy Hill;

    Use of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to characterize ores provides mineralogists and metallurgists with invaluable information for the optimisation of processes. Manually obtaining relevant information such as, for example, mineral coatings that may interfere with flotation, mineral separations, the location of values, mineralogical or process reasons for low recovery, etc, can be exhausting and time consuming. For this reason, automated SEM methods for mineralogical characterisation have been devised. These methods rely on qualitative analyses of the samples using EDX or BSD grey levels to classify the phases present. The non-quantitative nature of the analyses means that other techniques, such as electron microprobe analysis (EMPA), must be used in conjunction with the SEM to obtain quantitative information of the sample. To overcome this limitation, Carl Zeiss has devised a method for the quantitative analysis of the mineralogy of any ore or ore-derived processed material; allowing for the full quantitative evaluation of a resource to be performed automatically by the SEM.

  • Ore Mineral Textures of Late Cretaceous Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide Deposits (VMS) of Turkey: Proposed Paragenetic Sequence

    Emin ifti;Abdurrahman Lermi;Bülent Yal nalp;

    Most of the massive sulfide deposits (VMS) occurring from Precambrian to Cenozoic throughout the world has been subsequently metamorphosed at various grades. Thus, all the original textures have been either completely destroyed or strongly modified. However, there are a very few examples, rather younger deposits such as late Cretaceous Turkish VMS deposits and Miocene Kuroko deposits of Japan in which representative and original ore textures are preserved. The Turkish massive sulfide deposits are mainly Cu-Zn-Pb-type and entirely hosted by Late Cretaceous felsic volcanic rocks within a paleoarc geotectonic setting.

  • Cathodoluminescence Characteristics and Mineral Chemistry of Tennessee Sphalerites (Tn-Usa)

    Emin ifti;H.Haluk Selim;Dougles Crowe;

    Optical cathodoluminescence microscopy (CLM) can provide very useful information both on mineral zoning formed during crystal growth and on variations in chemical composition of sphalerites which is reflected by their visible colors. Gem quality sphalerite crystals associated with dolomite, calcite and fluorite having 3 different visible colors - green, honey and brown - were studied to compare their mineral chemistry and CL characteristics. Electron microprobe analyses indicated essentially no significant differences in terms of major components. Although the common CL-quencher ferrous iron contents of all three were lower than 0.25 wt %, none of the sphalerites cathodoluminescenced: two (brown and honey) were non-CL, the green sphalerite showed very week CL in faint brown color. Other trace elements that were analyzed include Fe, Cd, Mn, Ag, Hg, In, Bi, Cu, Ge, and Ga. Fe, Cd, Ga and Cu were relatively higher than the others. Most significant differences with respect to the common trace elements include honey colored sphalerites are essentially Fe- and Cd-poor but rich in Ga, green sphalerites are Fe- and Cd- rich but poor in all the others, and brown sphalerites are rich in Cd. No conclusive relation between non-CL behavior of all three sphalerites and their trace element chemistry was established, however; low quantities of common CL activators in sphalerite crystal structures such as Mn, Cu, and In were the main cause of the non-CL behavior.

  • Micronized Calcite Potential, Production and Principle Characteristics of Nigde (Turkey)

    Emin ifti;smail Erdag;

    Marble that exploited for micronized calcite production in Nigde area (South Central Turkey) occur in the Upper Cretaceous Gümü ler, A gedi i, and Kaleboynu Formations of the Nigde Massif. Although there are a few marble producing quarries in the area, it is long been known that the marbles of this area are generally highly fractured and don’t yield large blocks or suitable slabs meeting the industrial demands. Thus, most of the production is currently carried out mainly as building stone, crushed stone and micronized calcite. Due mainly to high demand, micronized calcite has been becoming very significant export product to the state’s economy. Because the Nigde marbles are coarse grained with high CaCO3 content, high purity and whiteness, they are considered to be the highest quality micronized calcite quarries in the country. Consequently, the area drew many national and international investors resulting in significant increase in the number and extent of micronized calcite plants in the area. In early 1980’s, the city of Nigde had only one or two plants, it is now well over 5 including foreign investors and joint ventures. Annual production is also considerably increased from 20,000-30,000 tones to almost half a million tones and it is still in increasing trend.

  • Genetic Analysis Based on Petrographic Studies in Mud Area – East of Iran

    Esmail Elahpour;

    In north region of Mud city, southeast of Birjand – central east of Iran, in the position of 59/37 east longitude and 32/50 north latitude, we have some outcrops of relatively fresh basic volcanic rocks. They seem to be young and they mentioned Quaternary volcanic lavas in related geological map. According some signs such zoning in Olivine phenocrysts, absence of alteration signs in olivine phenocrysts rims and relatively low value of plagioclase in the composition of rocks, we propose that their volcanic nature is alkaline. This fact that they have erupted as the result of right lateral deep fault zones, also reinforce our Idea. In the area we see this structural architector as the results of major Nehbandan fault system behavior.

  • Thermal Degradation of PCDD/Fs Promoted by Alcohol Amines in Different Types of Incinerator Ashes

    FAN Yun;ZHU Meiwen;NI Yuwen;CHEN Jiping;CHEN Mengjun;

    The low-temperature thermal treatment to degrade PCDD/Fs contained in fly ash was promoted by alcohol amines in a closed system. Three types of fly ash collected separately from municipal solid waste incinerator, medical waste incinerator and hazardous waste incinerator, were compared. Experimental design was used to investigate the homologue patterns of PCDD/Fs and distribution of the toxic congeners in fly ash from incinerator after thermal treatment promoted by alcohol amines. The effect of ethanolamine (MEA) on the hydrodechlorination reaction of polychlorinated aromatics pollutants on fly ash from solid waste incinerator was carried out, and the three ashes clearly showed different degradation potentials for PCDD/F during thermal treatment. Results from the present study indicate that (1) the concentration of alkaline species and metals strongly influenced the degradation of PCDD/F; (2) after addition of 8% MEA, the toxicity equivalent (TEQ) values of PCDD/Fs in fly ash were significantly lower than those obtained without MEA. 49%–71% of PCDD/Fs in TEQ was removed from different types of ash at 250℃ with 8% MEA; (3) the destruction and dechlorination are major mechanism for PCDD/Fs degradation.

  • Lime Assisted Cyanide Leaching of Refractory Gold Ores from Ajialongwa Mine

    FU Kaibin;WANG Zheng;XIAO Junhui;LUO Deqiang;

    Heap leaching is a promising, less costly, alternative technology for processing low grade gold ores compared with traditional, energy intensive processes (e.g. autoclave/tank leaching). This research investigated the effectiveness of lime for enhancing gold leaching rates of gold ores from ajialongwa gold mine in china. Column and heaping experiments were performed using cyanide leaching solutions at pH=10, with and without lime (CaO). The presence of lime greatly increased gold leaching rates. Column leaching experiments showed without the addition of lime, there was 35.2% of gold leached. The addition of lime resulted in the release of 50.56% gold. Lime assisted cyanide of refractory gold was proved by heap leaching experiments.

  • Microscopic Observation and Stability Study on the Fe_3s_4 Nanocrystals Synthesizedunder Thermal and Humid Conditions

    GAO Shang;HUANG Fei;SONG Dan;LI Guanglu;LIU Jia;GAO Wenyuan;LIU Qiang;FENG Taiwei;ZHAO Ran;

    Fe3S4 is important magnetic mineral that widely exists in the sediments of lakes and oceans. It can not only instruct reducing environment that contains organic matter and sulfate, but also provide paleomagnetic signal for paleoenvironmet research. Simultaneously, as a new type of magnetic material, it causes attention. Because Fe3S4 generally exists as an unstable intermediate, it is stringent in preparation conditions. Although some scholars have conducted on the synthesis experiments of Fe3S4 materials, the research on its stable conditions, formation mechanism and evolution process is not yet depth. Accordingly, defining the stable conditions and revealing evolution law of Fe3S4 nanocrystals have important significance for the determination of environmental conditions and the preparation of pure Fe3S4 nanomaterials.

  • Antarcticite, a Phase Change Material for ThermalEnergy Storage: Experiments and Simulation

    GU Xiaobin;NIU Jingjing;QIN Shan;

    Antarcticite, a mineral with composition CaCl2·6H2O and structure P321, is an ideal phase change material (PCM) due to the high energy storage density and good thermal conductivity. However, the existence of supercooling and incongruent melting would weaken its thermal properties and then hinder its application. In this paper, based on the cooling curve method and DSC measurement, we experimentally selected the minor SrCl2·6H2O as the nucleator and carboxyl methyl cellulose as the thickening agent, which could significantly reduce supercooling and partly restrain the incongruent melting. Moreover, we incorporated Antarcticite as PCM into building envelopes in four different cases, the simulation of the heat transfer processes showed that the temperature fluctuation could be reduced to about 2℃ in the best case.

  • The Evolution of Automated Mineralogy

    GU Ying;

    It has been over 40 years since scientists and engineers attempted to automate optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM) to measure the mineral liberation characteristics of ores in order to predict their flotation responses. As early as 1963, the first optical instrument equipped with a video camera to analyse grain structure of a sample was produced by Metals Research Instrument Corporation (Image Analysis Company Ltd., 1970), which introduced Quantimet 720, a fully digital image analysis system, in 1969. Remarkably, Quantimet system is still widely used today.

  • Preparation of Phosphogypsum-Based Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate Whiskers by Hydrothermal Method

    HE Hua;DONG Faqin;HE Ping;YANG Wei;

    Calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CaSO4·0.5H2O, HH) is one of the three most commonly phases of gypsum observed in natural precipitates. Calcium sulfate hemihydrate whisker is a kind of fibriform single crystal with the mean diameter of 1-3 μm and the mean aspect ratio of 30–80. HH whisker was the most promising reinforcement seemed to be calcium sulfate-based due to its high intensity, high corrosion-resistance, good thermal stability, non-poisonous and low price. Thus, HH whiskers combine both reinforcement and low price, may be both effective in improving mechanical performance and extending application area.

  • Illite-smectite Mixed-layer Minerals in the Alteration Volcanic Ashes under Submarine Environment

    HONG Hanlie;GAO Wenpeng;YIN Ke;LI Zhaohui;WANG Chaowen;

    The clay mineralogy of the clay intervals interbedded with siliceous mudstones across the Permian-Triassic boundary (PTB) in Pengda, Guiyang, Guizhou province, was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The clay mineral assemblages of the sediments are mainly I/S clays and minor smectite, kaolinite, and illite as reveled by XRD analyses. The peak-shape parameters BB1 and BB2 of I/S clays of the representative clay bed PL-01 are 4.7° and 4.4°, and the peak position of the low angle reflection is at 6.8° 2θ (13.6 ), suggesting that the I/S clays has a IS type of ordering. However, the presence of multi-order reflections and their intensities are different from those of completely ordered 1∶1 mixed-layer I/S clay rectorite, indicating that I/S clays of the Pengda section have partially ordered IS structures. HRTEM observations show that most of the I/S clays exhibit an IS stacking ordering. However, in some areas within a IS particle, smectite layer is observed in doublets, triplets, and quartets, which are interstratified by various amounts of illite layers, suggesting the presence of other irregular stacking in addition to the major 1∶1 IS ordered stacking. Transformation of smectite layer into illite layers is also observed in the I/S clays, suggesting that the Pengda I/S clays are derived from smectite illitization, in good agreement with the clay mineral assemblage. The I/S clays of the Pengda section contain up to 45% to 95% smectite layer, the notably higher contents of smectite layer relative to those of other PTB stratigraphic sets in south China can be attributed to difference in alteration and smectite illitization processes due to different sedimentary environments.

  • The Occurrence of Sc, Co and Ni in Manganese Ore from Western China

    HONG Qiuyang;ZHANG Lili;LI Bo;

    China’s manganese resources are usually associated with the valuable elements such as silver, lead, zinc, cobalt, nickel, scandium, etc which should be comprehensively recovered during the manganese beneficiation. A manganese ore from western China contains Mn 23.18%, Co 0.073%, Ni 0.21% and Sc 0.013%. The mineralogy composition of ore and the occurrence of associated elements of Sc, Co as well as Ni are studied in this paper. According to the results, the manganese minerals in this ore are mainly lithiophorite and a little secondary pyrolusite. The lithiophorite in this ore is rich in aluminum and actually it is the generic name for the multi-mineral aggregates mixed by silicon, aluminum and iron, which is quite different with the ordinary psilomelane. There is not any Sc, Ni or Co mineral in this ore and more than 98% of Sc, Ni and Ni exists in lithiophorite and pyrolusite. The distribution of Sc, Co and Ni in lithiophorite is further studied by EPMA and the results indicate that Sc and Co in lithiophorite is sparse and dispersed distribution while Ni usually distributes in the argillaceous lithiophorite and is local enrichment. Reduction-sulfuric acid leaching tests show that the dissolution of Sc and Co happens before lithiophorite dissolves; the dissolution rate of Sc and Co is almost the same, which is significantly higher than the dissolution rate of manganese. However, the dissolution rate of Ni is extremely low with the dissolution of manganse, which indicates that Ni is hard to dissolve and its dissolution rate obviously lags behind that of Mn, Sc and Co. The conclusion can be drawn that Sc and Co exist in the lithiophorite crystals as interface adsorption while Ni exists in the clay (kaolinite) mixed up with lithiophorite as interface adsorption. The conclusion indicates that Sc and Co can dissolve before the dissolution of manganese at a high dissolution rate in the hydrometallurgical process while Ni is also into the solution through desorption from the interface of clay but its dissolution rate is rather slow because of the insoluble nature of clay.

    New attention has been given to the resources of rare earth minerals over the last years. The natural shortage of these elements in the Earth’s crust and trade restrictions recently imposed by China, motivated the Brazilian Government to encourage new projects by inserting the exploitation of rare earths in the National Mining Plan, which deals with industry strategic issues in the country, helping to reduce current importation. The incentives can be in the choice of future targets for mineral exploration and for the development of laboratory studies and pilot scale processing tests.

  • The Weathering Effects of Acidithiobacillus Ferrooxidans to Cu(Ⅱ) Pollution of Fine Grained Copper Mine Tailings

    LI Dou;SONG Liyan;

    China has accumulated massive fine grained copper mine tailings stocks because of the past mining activities in this area. The tailings contain a variety of heavy metals, and the mass percent of Cu, which is one of the main contaminants in tailings, is up to 0.2601% (analysis by XRF). The Cu can pollute soil and groundwater by rain leaching in the form of Cu(Ⅱ), furthermore ,the fine grained copper-ore-tailings can contaminant larger area by wind for its small granularity ( < 74 μm). The main cause of weathering of mine tailings is due to oxidative dissolution of sulfides. Microorganisms, such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, play an important role in weathering. These bacteria attach to exposed to mineral surfaces by excreting extracellular polymers and oxidize the sulfide mineral. Some of these bacteria also oxidize Fe2+ to Fe3+ which can chemically oxidize sulfide minerals. These reactions produce voluminous quantities of acid mine drainage and heavy metals which are harmful to the environment and human healthy. This study aims at finding the weathering effects of A. ferrooxidans to Cu(II) pollution of fine grained copper mine tailings, and our experiment applied indigenous A. ferrooxidans FJ-01 to leach the tailings. The optimum test parameters were obtained using shaking flask experiment and SEM observation under the following experimental conditions: 39 days residence time, pulp density 1%-15% (1%, 5% and 15%), 30℃, 120 rpm, pH between 1-3 and redox potential between 400-650 mV. The test results show that the leaching rate of Cu reached 43.1% when the pulp density was 1% after 33 days and kept invariant till the end of the test. In addition, the leaching rate of Cu will decrease as the increase of pulp density, and the maximum rate of 15% pulp density was only 12.5%. From the SEM, it can be seen that the fine grain of tailings flocculated to conglobation under the action of bacterial leaching.

  • Effect of Temperature upon Fe-Mg Composition of Garnet in Pelitic System

    LI Ying;DU Jianguo;XIE Chao;ZHOU Zhihua;

    Garnet is an essential phase in a wide range of metamorphic grades. Ratios of Fe and Mg concentrations in garnet have been widely used as a geothermometer for the crystallization, cooling rate and tectonic uplift rate because garnets in natural rocks always show a variety of Fe-Mg compositional partition. Normally, Fe-Mg concentrations of natural garnets vary widely and the Fe-Mg exchange reactions usually occur in a complex chemical system. Effect of pressure and temperature on Fe-Mg compositions of garnet in natural pelitic system was studied experimentally at temperatures of 700 to 780 ℃ and pressures from 21 to 29.4 kbar. The concentrations of FeO and MgO of garnet in the run products showed a linear relation with experimental temperatures. The result provided experimental evidence of Fe-Mg partition trend with temperature in a complex natural rock and therefore improved our understanding in the determinations of metamorphic temperature calculated by garnet geothermometer. Although the accurate geological application of our results requires the knowledge of the effects of other components upon [D(Mg)] and [D(Fe)] which is largely unknown currently, the data provided in this study are useful to build the relation between FeO-MgO contents and temperature, which is useful in the metamorphic temperatures determine of rocks with pelitic composition.

  • Induction of Calcium Carbonate by Pseudomonas Putida

    LIAN Bin;HAN Jinxin;

    The purpose of this research is to study how the bacteria Pseudomonas putida (DCB13) utilises calcium ions in a culture medium with carbon dioxide (CO2) to yield calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The bacteria strain P. putida is a dominant strain isolated from the dolomitic surfaces in areas of Karst topographies, Guizhou Province. The experimental method was as follows: a modified beef extract-peptone medium (beef extract 3.0 g, peptone 10 g, NaCl 5.0 g, CaCl2 2.0 g, glass powder 2.0 g, distilled water 1 L and a pH between 6.5 and 7.5) was inoculated with P. putida in order to attempt to induce the synthesis of CaCO3. The sample was then processed by centrifugation every 24 hours during the 7-day cultivation period. The pH, carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity, and the concentrations of both HCO3- and Ca2+ of the supernatant fluid were measured. Subsequently, precipitation in the culture medium was analyzed to confirm, or otherwise, the presence and if present, the formation of CaCO3. Methods used included X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). Results showed that P. putida can improve its pH value in this culture medium; concentrations of HCO3- and Ca2+ showed a significant decline over the duration of the cultivation period. CA activity reached its maximum during the second day; XRD, SEM and TEM all revealed the presence of CaCO3 as a precipitate. Additionally, these results did not occur in an aseptic control group: no detectable level of CaCO3 was yielded therein. In conclusion: P. putida can metabolise active materials such as secretase by its own growth and metabolism, and can either utilise atmospheric CO2, or respire, to induce CaCO3 production.

  • Early Intervention on the Properties of Steel Slag at High Temperature by Modifier Compound with Tailings: A Feasible Way for Comprehensive Utilization of Solid Wastes

    LIAN Fang;ZHANG Zuoshun;MA Laijun;Bater Sayin;LIAO Hongqiang;

    Steel slag, a by-product of the steel production industry reaches 10%–15% of crude steel output (Motz and Geiseler, 2001). Their main application lies in the field of building materials due to some containing cementitious components, such as dicalcium silicate (C2S) and tricalcium silicate (C3S) (Waligora et al., 2010). However, blended cements with steelmaking slag show low early hydration activity, low compressive strength and bad durability because steel slag generates above 1600 ℃ with the tense and large grain size crystals, consisting of low content of C2S and C3S and high proportions of f-CaO and f-MgO compared with cement clinker.

  • Constraint of Isomorphous Substitution in Magnetite on Its Catalytic Activity in Heterogeneous Fenton Reaction

    LIANG Xiaoliang;ZHONG Yuanhong;HE Zisen;TAN Wei;HE Hongping;YUAN Peng;ZHU Jianxi;

    In nature, iron cations in magnetite are usually isomorphically substituted by divalent (Co, Ni, Zn, Cu, Mn, etc.), trivalent (Al, V, Cr, etc.) and tetravalent (Ti) cations while maintaining the spinel structure. Some of the substituting cations, e.g. Cr3+, V3+ and Mn2+, improve the catalytic activity of magnetite in heterogeneous Fenton reaction through the enhancement of hydroxyl radical OH production and the pollutant adsorption.

  • Purification of the Beonite from Shangtianti, Henan Province, China

    LIAO Libing;WANG Mingjun;DU Gaoxiang;GONG Zhijin;L Guocheng;

    Bentonites consisting mainly of montmorillonite are widely utilized in various applications. However, natural bentonites contain many kinds of impurities such as quartz, cristobalite, feldspar, zeolite, calcite etc., which can decrease the performance of bentonite. Furthermore, quartz and cristobalite are carcinogenic. Therefore purification of bentonite is critical to its applications. Among the impurities in bentonite, cristobalite is the most difficult one to get rid of because of its tiny particle size and aggregation state.

  • Synthesis and Characterization of the Composites of Polyaniline and Graphene Oxide in Situ Polymerization

    LIN Shunjia;SUN Hongjuan;PENGTongjiang;

    The novel high-performance nanocomposites of polyaniline (PANI) and graphene oxide sheets (GOs) was synthesized via in situ polymerization in the presence of Hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium Bromide intercalated graphite oxide (CGO), basing on PANI and GOs as a matrix respectively. The result showed that ANI monomer was intercalated into the spacing of CGO, and the CGO was well exfoliated into nanosheets while polymerization. Owing to π–π electron stacking effect between the PANI and the GOs, the electrical conductivity of GOs/PANI nanocomposites (0.47 S/cm), which basing on PANI as a matrix, improved in comparison with pure PANI nanowires (0.02 S/cm) and GO (2.5×10-5 S/cm), while the electrical conductivity of PANI/GOs nanocomposites, which basing on GOs as a matrix, was only 6.2×10-3 S/cm. And it also indicated that the mole ratio of APS, the concentration of HCl, other with the polymerization time, are also important influencing factors of the conductivity of nanocomposites.

  • Methane Adsorption on Montmorillonite, Kaolinite and Illite at High Pressures

    LIU Dong;YUAN Peng;LIU Hongmei;TAN Daoyong;YUAN Weiwei;ZHOU Xiang;HE Hongping;

    Shale gas, which is derived from organic matters in shale and stored in shale deposits, is an important unconventional gas resource and attracts attention due to its significant requirement in the hydrocarbon production. Methane (CH4) is the dominant component of shale gas, and adsorbed gas is an important reservoir form. Many studies have investigated the adsorption capacities and adsorption mechanisms of CH4 in shale. Organic matters and clay minerals have been proposed to be the two major components for CH4 adsorption. Adsorption of CH4 in organic matters, such as the adsorption capacity and effects of characteristics of the organic matters, has been well investigated. However, studies on CH4 adsorption on clay minerals have mainly focused on evaluating the adsorption capacity, and very little information about the adsorption mechanism has been provided. For example, the adsorption sites and factors influencing CH4 adsorption on clay minerals remain unclear. Three main reasons account for this: (1) the co-existence of organic matters in samples affects the evaluation of CH4 adsorption on clay minerals; (2) the pressures used during adsorption are not representative of actual reservoir pressures; and (3) the clay minerals selected have low swelling capacity and a smaller interlayer distances than a CH4 size, resulting in the misunderstanding of the CH4 adsorption sites.

  • Physically Activated Diatomite-templated Carbon with High Porosity for the Adsorption of Methylene Blue

    LIU Dong;YUAN Weiwei;YUAN Peng;YU Wenbin;TAN Daoyong;LIU Hongmei;HE Hongping;

    Porous carbons are extensively applied in gas separation, water purification, catalytic reaction, and electrochemical processing, attributing to their high specific surface area, large pore volume, chemical inertness, and good mechanical and thermal stability. The templating method is widely used to synthesize porous carbons with the controlled pore structure. Among them, preparation of diatomite-templated carbons attracts increasing attention because the obtained carbon has unique developed macropores and exhibits the promising application in adsorption and support of large-sized molecules. Macroporous diatomite-templated carbons are prepared by using additive or inherent solid acid sites of diatomite as the catalyst. The obtained carbons showed tubular and pillared macroporous structures, and had a few mesopores and micropores. However, the carbons possessed the small specific surface area and micropore volume, and thus showed the low adsorption capacity of small-sized molecules, such as methylene blue (MB). In this case, enhancement of porosity, especially microporosity, is necessary.

  • Role of the Interlayer Space of Montmorillonite in Hydrocarbon Generation: A Combined Study by TG-FTIR and High Temperature-Pressure Pyrolysis

    LIU Hongmei;YUAN Peng;LIU Dong;ZHOU Xiang;HE Hongping;ZHU Jianxi;

    The interlayer clay-organic complex is an important clay-organic association in sedimentary environments. The interlayer region of clay minerals not only provides storage space for organic matter, but also possesses solid acid sites; and these acid sites were proposed to be involved with the transformation of organic matter into liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons. However, the effect of the organic matter storage in the interlayer space of clay minerals on the hydrocarbons generation has not been made clear. In this study, the interlayer complex of 12-aminolauric acid (ALA) and Na+-montmorillonite (Na+-Mt), labeled as ALAinter-Mt (Na), was synthesized to investigate the role of the interlayer space of montmorillonite in hydrocarbon generation. Simply mixed ALA-Mt complex [ALA-Mt (Na)] was also prepared for comparison. The pyrolysis of ALA and ALA-Mt complexes was studied using thermogravimetry coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (TG-FTIR) and a high temperature-pressure system (a confined gold capsule-autoclave system).

  • Pyrolusite and Chalcophanite Forming in Qixiashan, Nanjing

    LIU Huan;LU Xiancai;

    Weathering of manganese-bearing carbonate could form chalcophanite. In this paper, the occurrence of Fe (hydro) oxides and Mn-bearing minerals in Qixiashan were identified by XRD and SEM, mainly consisted of goethite, hematite, pyrolusite and chalcophanite. From the microscope investigation, stromatolite-like structure phenomenon is widespread existed, which may be caused by microbial activities. To identify the mineral structure in the Fe-Mn crust, Raman and XPS were used to identify the mineral structure and valence of Fe, Mn and Zn. This work could help us to know the relationship of Fe and Mn during the weathering of manganese-bearing carbonate. And the enrichment of Mn and Zn from the supergene environment could provide a path for the contamination of heavy metals.

  • Mineralogical Research on Tooeleite

    LIU Juan;LIU Jing;GAO Dezheng;HUANG Xi;

    Tooeleite Fe6(AsO3)4SO4(OH)4·4H2O is a ferric arsenite sulfate mineral only found in acid mine drainage at present, which has environmental significance for arsenic remediation because of its high stability in the regolith. The authors synthesized tooleite using temperature-constant water batch reactor, and for the first time studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR) and Raman spectroscopy. The XRD result indicates tooeleite can form more crystalline solids in an acid environment than in an alkaline environment; the characteristic peak at FTIR of 770 cm-1is attributed to stretch vibration of As-O; the characteristic peaks at Raman of 663, 609, 512, 455 and 365 cm-1are attributed to the stretch vibration of As-OH (ν3), asymmetric stretch vibration (ν5), asymmetric bending vibration (ν4) of AsO33- and bending vibration of O-As-O; the incongruent dissolution occurs when PH of solution is higher than 3. Low Ph environmental benefits for formation of more high crystalline tooeleite. The batch experiment determined for the first time the solubility product (Ksp) and the standard Gibbs free energy of the reaction, which are 107.7 and-3605 kJ/mol, respectively.

  • Bolshetagninskoe Deposit Microcline-Pyrochlore Ore Process Mineralogy

    Liudmila Azarnova;

    Bolshetagninskoe deposit is one of the most important Russia niobium potential sources. It is confined to carbonatite complex of the same name that is situated in the Sayan Mountains, Eastern Siberia. In the result of VIMS exploration niobium ores reserves have been applied by Russian State Reserve Committee in 2012 year. Ores contain about 1% Nb2O5 and are unique in that the economic pyrochlore mineralization is concentrated in alkaline metasomatic rocks but not in carbonatites[1]. During exploration 47 borehole samples and 6 bulk samples were collected and studied by process mineralogy techniques (optic mineralogical analyze, optic image analyzer system, XRD, EPMA). 26 borehole samples and 2 bulk samples were tested by rougher floatation to define geometallurgical items and to understand the ore’s behavior. Four volumetric samples have been tested by commissioned flowsheet (radiometric separation → impact milling → selective floatation → pyrochlore leaching → ferroniobium). There are three ore types in the Bolshetagninskoe deposit: microcline-pyrochlore (MP), biotite-columbite-pyrochlore (BCP) and carbonate-pyrochlore (CP). MP type is the most important one. MP ore consists of microcline (59wt%–70wt%) with minor carbonates, apatite, sulfides, goethite. Pyrochlore, the essential Nb mineral (94% of ore Nb content), occurs as fine grains (weighted average grain size is 57 μn). Since pyrochlore grains are fine and friable, the ore preparation size and method is a main problem of its treatment. While primary ore processing is effective to remove about 30% waste material it is important to evaluate its influence on floatation feed grade.

  • Photoelectrons from Minerals and Microbial World

    LU Anhuai;LI Yan;WANG Changqiu;

    The Earth surface is a multiple open system. Semiconducting minerals, including most metal oxides and sulfides, absorb visible light of the solar spectrum. Microorganisms evolve varied pathways to get carbon and energy sources. It is obvious that the interaction among solar light, semiconducting minerals, photoelectron/photohole, organics, inorganics, valence electrons and microorganisms occurs continuously on our planet. In a recent study, Lu et al. (2012) presented evidence demonstrating solar energy mediated by semiconducting mineral photocatalysis, acting as energy source, promoted the growth of some non-photosynthetic bacteria and revealed that the ternary system of microorganisms, minerals and solar light has played a critical role in the history of life on our planet. In simulated system, under simulated solar light semiconducting minerals, such as metal oxides and metal sulfides, generates photoelectrons which could be used by non-phototrophic microorganisms to support their metabolisms. The growth of microorganism was closely related to photon quantity and energy, and the microorganism growth and mineral light absorption spectra were fitted well under different light wavelengths. The overall energy efficiency from photon to biomass was 0.13‰ to 1.9‰. Further studies revealed that in natural soil systems, semiconducting mineral photocatalysis could influence the microbial population. Solar energy utilization pathway by nonphototrophic microorganisms mediated by semiconducting mineral photocatalysis provides a new concept to evaluate the origin and evolution of life. Semiconducting minerals are ubiquitous on Earth’s surface and widely participate in redox reactions following photoelectron-photohole pairs excited by solar light. As photoholes can be easily scavenged by environmental reductive substances and microorganisms possess multiple strategies to utilize extracellular electrons, the highly reductive photoelectrons serve as potential energy source for microbial life. The discovery of this pathway extends our knowledge on the use of solar energy by nonphototrophic microorganisms, and provides important clues to evaluate life on the early Earth. Microorganisms, minerals and solar light constitute a complex but important ternary system through Earth history. The discovery of the novel energy conversion pathway in this system demonstrates how nonphototrophic microorganisms directly or indirectly utilized photoelectrons as the solar energy source. The fully comprehending of nonphototrophic bacteria solar energy utilization conducted by semiconducting minerals in present environment will greatly help us to better understand the energy transform mechanism among interfaces of lithosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere and biosphere.

  • Spectroscopic Features and Coloration of Gem-Quality Green Tsavorite in Major International Deposits and China

    L Linsu;ZHANG Yong;LI Hongbo;LU Taijin;MAO Bing;CHEN Hua;

    Tsavorite green colored by Cr3+/V3+ has been traditionally found and mined in Tanzania, Kenya and Madagascar in the Neoproterozoic Mozambique metamorphic belt (NMMB), and recently be found in Sanjiang, Litang, Sichuan, China. The differences of the chemical formula, spectroscopic features, as well as the concentrations of the V2O3 and Cr2O3 in the tsavorite crystals collected from major international deposits and Sanjiang, China have been investigated using EPMA, XRF, UV-VIS spectrometers, FTIR, Raman scattering microscopy, DiamondView TM techniques. It was found that the chemical formulas of African tsavorite and Chinese tsavorite are Ca3(Al,V)2[SiO4]3 and Ca3(Al,Cr)2[SiO4]3, respectively, indicating that tsavorite is a solid solution between dominant grossular and minor goldmanite and uvarovite. Two broad bands centered at 430 nm and 605 nm were the main absorption features in the tsavorite samples, which attribute to the absorption of Cr3+ and/or V3+ ions in the lattice. The green coloration is caused by Cr3+ and/or V3+ ions resulting in the absorption of purple and red components of the visible light. Absorptions caused of Fe3+ and Fe2+ ions could add the bluish color component in some of tsavorite samples. The intensity of green color is proportional to the concentrations of V2O3 and Cr2O3. The basic gemological properties, such as refractive index in the investigated samples were presented, and the definition and chemical and spectroscopic properties of tsavorite are discussed.

  • Influences of Microbial Oxidation/Reduction on Mineral Transformation in Sulfide Tailings and Environmental Consequence in Shizishan Cu-Au Mine, Tongling, Eastern China

    LU Xiancai;LU Jianjun;WANG Rucheng;WANG Hongmei;LI Juan;ZHU Tingting;OUYANG Bingjie;

    Mining activities have created great wealth, but they have also discharged large quantities of tailings. As an important source of heavy metal contamination, sulfide tailings are usually disposed of in open-air impoundments and thus are exposed to microbial oxidation. Microbial activities greatly enhance sulfide oxidation and result in the release of heavy metals and the precipitation of iron (oxy) hydroxides and sulfates. These secondary minerals in turn influence the mobility of dissolved metals and play important roles in the natural attenuation of heavy metals. Elucidating the microbe–mineral interactions in tailings will improve our understanding of the environmental consequence of mining activities.

  • Transition of TiO_2 in TiO_2/Vermiculite Nanocomposites

    LUO Li-ming;PENG Tong-jiang;SUN Hong-juan;

    The TiO2/vermiculite composites were prepared by in-situ hydrolyzing reaction and in-situ dehydrating reaction of tetrabutyl titanate-hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide intercalated vermiculite. The structural phase transition of TiO2 in TiO2/vermiculite composites calcined at different temperatures was characterized by using XRD and Raman. The results show that at calcination temperature of 800℃ appeared the anatase phase of TiO2 in TiO2/vermiculite nanocomposites, while pure TiO2 is all converted to rutile at the same temperature. The average crystal size of TiO2 in TiO2/vermiculite nanocomposites and pure TiO2 both increase with the calcination temperature. The average grain size of TiO2 in TiO2/vermiculite nanocomposites is less than that of pure TiO2 at the same calcination temperature. The results also show that the silicon-oxygen structure in layered vermiculite structure can effectively depress the phase transformation from anatase to rutile, thus enhancing the transition temperature and inhibitting the growth of anatase crystals.

  • Effects of Sintering Temperature on Crystallization Behavior and Performance of Glass-Ceramics From Coal Fly Ash

    PENG Tongjiang;CAO Chao;SUN Hongjuan;

    The glass-ceramics was prepared from coal fly ash, limestone and Na2CO3 by sintering processes. Effects of the crystallization temperature (850–1100 ℃) on crystallization behavior, microstructure, sintering character and chemical stability of the glass-ceramics samples were analyzed by means of DTA, XRD, SEM and other analytical methods. The results show that the main crystalline phase of as-prepared glass-ceramics after crystallization treatment is gehlenite (Ca2Al2SiO7). The species of crystalline phases keep the same, however, the main crystalline intensity, line shrinkage rate and bulk density increase first then decrease with the increasing of heat treatment temperature. Water absorption of the samples was reduced as the heat treatment temperature rising. The glass-ceramics display high performance crystallization properties and chemical stability. The optimized glass-ceramics with desired sintering character and chemical stability was obtained by crystallized at 1050 ℃.

  • Preparation and Properties of TiO_2/Montmorillonite Nano-Composite with Different TiO_2

    PENG Tongjiang;L Xia;SUN Hongjuan;

    The hydrated-titanium-oxide/montmorillonite composite samples were prepared using a hydrolysation- intercalation composite method by controlling the amount of TiOSO4·2H2O. The TiO2/montmorillonite composite samples were got after calculated at 700℃ and 1100 ℃. The results show that: when the value of Ti/montmorillonite is 12.5 mmol/g, the c axis of hydrated-titanium-oxide/ montmorillonite composite sample began to disorder, moreover, the crystal size of anatase is just 13.4nm in the TiO2/montmorillonite composite sample calculated at 700 ℃, and after calculated at 1100 ℃, the crystal size of anatase is 55.8 nm, and the relative content of anatase reaches the highest (55.7%). Compared with pure TiO2 nano-particle sample, TiO2/montmorillonite composite sample has a higher phase transition temperature from anatase phase to rutile phase and smaller crystal size of TiO2. Montmorillonite structure layer has a significant blocking effect on TiO2 phase transformation and grain growth, and the blocking effect reaches saturation when the value of Ti/montmorillonite is 12.5 mmol/g.

  • Adsorption of Fe~(3+) Ions from Aqueous Solution by Natural and Synthetic Apatites: Kinetic, Equilibrium and Thermodynamic Study

    QIAN Gongming;LI Maolin;ZHOU Zhenxu;WANG Fei;

    In this study, the adsorption kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamics of Fe3+ ions on natural (NAP) and synthetic (HAP) apaties were examined. The adsorption efficiency of Fe3+ onto the NAP and HAP was increased with increasing temperature. The kinetics of adsorption of Fe3+ ions was discussed using three kinetic models, the pseudo-first-order, the pseudo-second-order and the intra-particle diffusion model. The experimental data fitted very well the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The initial sorption rate and the activation energy were also calculated. The activation energy of the sorption was calculated as 37.15 and 49.84 kJ·mol 1 for NAP and HAP, respectively. Experimental results were also analysed by the Langmuir, Freundlich and Dubinin–Redushkevich (D–R) isotherm equations at different temperatures. RL separation factor for Langmuir and the n value for Freundlich isotherm show that Fe3+ ions are favorably adsorbed by NAP and HAP. Various thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy (ΔH), Gibbs free energy (ΔG) and entropy (ΔS) changes were computed and the results showed that the adsorption of Fe3+ ions onto NAP and HAP were spontaneous and endothermic in nature.

  • A Study on the Mineralogical Features of the Oxidation-reduction of Graphite Deposit in Pingdu, Shandong

    QIN Lang;CHUAN Xiu-yun;

    The mineralogical features of the oxidation-reduction of graphite deposit in pingdu, Shandong province were studied by field search, polarization microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM. The results show that, the major rocks of the reduction graphite zone are graphite-quartz anorthosite, gabbro. The major rocks of the oxidation graphite zone are marble with graphite, biotite granite, monzogranite. The main minerals of the reduction zone are plagioclase, pyroxene, quartz, pyrite. The graphite is aphanitic graphite appearing as dense massive, layered, spherical aggregates. The main minerals of the oxidation zone are calcite, quartz, K-feldspar, biotite, amphibole, chlorite. The graphite is flake graphite uniformly dispersed in the loose, and strongly erosion rocks. A large number of rocks in the area have been suffered chloritization, regional metamorphism, indicating that the formation of the graphite deposit should be related with gabbro melting. The carbon source in the lower part was taken into the mine, and then experienced regional metamorphism.

  • Non Destructive 3D, 4D Microscopy and Mineral Phase Characterization in Industrial Minerals, Composites to Construction Materials

    S H Lau;Arno Merkle;Susan Candell;Sylvia Yun;Allen Gu;Wenbing Yun;

    Conventional electron and optical microscopy techniques require the sample to be sectioned, polished or etched to expose the internal surfaces for imaging. However, such sample preparation techniques have traditionally prevented the observation of the same sample over time, under realistic three-dimensional geometries and in an environment representative of real-world operating conditions. X-ray microscopy (XRM) is a rapidly emerging technique that enables non-destructive evaluation of buried structures within hard to soft materials in 3D, requiring little to no sample preparation. Furthermore in situ and 4D quantification of microstructural evolution under controlled environment as a function of time, temperature, chemistry or stress can be done repeatable on the same sample, using practical specimen sizes ranging from tens of microns to several cm diameter, with achievable imaging resolution from submicron to 50 nm. Many of these studies were reported using XRM in synchrotron beamlines. These include crack propagation on composite and construction materials; corrosion studies; microstructural changes during the setting of cement; flow studies within porous media to mention but a few.

  • Rapid Large Volume 3D Mineral Processing and Liberation Characterization Technique to Sub Micron Resolution

    S H Lau;Susan Candell;Sylvia Yun;Allen Gu;YUN Wenbing;

    We describe a novel lab based X-ray computed tomography system based on the architecture of X-ray Microscopes (XRM) used in synchrotron radiation facilities to be adapted for mineral processing and mineral liberation analysis. As this is a tomographic technique performed with an XRM, it is non-destructive and does not require complex preparation of polished sections typical of SEM-EDS techniques (such as MLA and QEMSCAN). It complements these existing techniques by providing 3D information and mineral liberation of multi-phase particles with much larger sample volume statistics but at a fraction of the time. In several applications, the technique is superior. These include the characterization of tailing loss in precious minerals; the characterization of porosity, particle size distribution, crack and pore network analysis during comminution, heap leaching and for texture and exposure/lock class analysis for floatation.

  • Ruby Occurrences in Turkey: Principle Characteristics

    Senel zdamar;Emin ifti;Bektas Uz;Fahri Esenli;Sezai K1r1koglu;

    The G ksun Ophiolites in Do an ehir area (Malatya-Southern Turkey) contain corundum mineralizations with significant gem-quality (ruby). Modal mineralogical composition of ruby-bearing rocks consists of hornblende (65%-70 %), plagioclase (20%-25%), green garnet (4%-5 %), ruby (2%-3%), and opaque minerals (<1%). Although ruby shows varying colors in the groundmass, it is generally colorless and rarely very pale pink and has high relief. It has no cleavage but rotund fractures. It has highest interference colors and twinning in some poly-prismatic crystals under the microscope. Crystal sizes range from 2x10 mm up to 30x50 mm. The most remarkable properties are red to pink in color, low to medium transparency, medium to big crystal sizes, lamellar and deformation twinning, secondary liquid feathers, hollow tubes, mineral inclusions, asterism, high birefringence and refractive indices and specific gravity. Rubies show crimson red cathodoluminescence colors activated by Cr3+ in the crystal structure, which is confirmed by the Electron Probe Microanalyses (EPMA). Tectonic setting, geological environment, petrographical, mineralogical, geochemical and gemological characteristics of rubies suggest that the Do an ehir ruby mineralization can be classified into the amphibolite-hosted type of corundum deposits of Tanzania.

  • The Characteristics of Quartz Micro-morphology of The Fault Gouge in Bailongjiang Fault System and Its Chronology

    SHEN Junfeng;YANG Weimin;LIU Ting;HUANG Xiao;ZHENG Weijie;YU Lei;WANG Guoqiang;

    A great deal of important information referring to fault motion (such as fault activities period, intensity, frequency, and even dynamic background, etc.) can be revealed by resolving fault gouge, which are the special result of fault motion while extruding or grinding. Based on the field investigation, collected from Bailongjiang fault system of Western Qinling Orogenic (QO) Belt, 44 samples of fault gouge were for quartz micro-morphology observation and statistics by the field emission SEM, and 14 samples were tested by thermo-luminescence dating. The results showed that most of the micro-morphology of quartz grains are fish scale and orange-haut fractures, but a small amount of moss-like, stalactitic, and subconchoidal fractures. Also very few decay of quartz grains and typical conchoids fracture quartz grains can be seen. This implied that the Bailongjiang fault system was motioned repeatedly in Quaternary period but main motion period was Pleistocene. 14 thermo-luminescence dating values showed herewith two groups as 343.29-184.06 ka and 92.18-13.87 ka. Therefore, the conclusions can be reached that the fault system were motioned starting at Pliocene epoch, frequently in the middle of Pleistocene (343.29-184.06 ka), and peak frequency in late Pleistocene (92.18-13.87 ka). The fault system motions have stopped at Holocene. The results are significant for the natural disaster risk evaluation in western QO region.

  • Quantitative X-Ray Diffraction Technique for Evaluating the Stabilization of Hazardous Metals in Ceramic Products

    SHIH Kaimin;TANG Yuanyuan;LU Xingwen;LIAO Changzhong;

    A sustainable waste management system requires the beneficial uses of waste residues, such as sludge and incineration ashes, generated from environmental treatments. Among the use strategies, the practices of mixing hazardous metal-bearing solids with clay materials to produce ceramic products are often found with significant improvement in reducing the metal leach ability from products. However, relatively much fewer studies have clearly answered the questions of "What are the metal stabilization mechanisms other than simply the dilution effect and the encapsulation of metals?"; "What are the mineral phases of metals and how much are they in the products?"; and "How thermal conditions can effetely promote the transformations of metal-hosting mineral phases?". As many sustainability movements have increasingly promoted the adoption of those products generated from the beneficial use of waste materials, quantitative understandings of the metal incorporation efficiencies are important to facilitate the design of safe and reliable waste-to-resource strategies. Current findings on the metal incorporation mechanisms between common alumino silicates and hazardous metals (nickel, copper, and zinc) under different thermal conditions will be presented, and the results show the important role of forming aluminates and ferrites to significantly reduce the metal leach ability from the products. In the study, the technique of quantitative X-ray diffraction (QXRD) was applied to report the metal incorporation efficiencies through a 3-hour sintering process, aiming to stabilize the hazardous metals and also to turn the waste residues for usable ceramic products. Prolonged leach tests for potential metal-containing phases were carried out in acidic environments to evaluate the durability of thermally treated products. Both aluminate and ferrite spinels proved superior for thermomobilization of hazardous metals. With the information reported, this study has identified the key mechanisms of stabilizing the hazardous metals when thermally treated with common ceramic raw materials, and also demonstrates the importance of quantitative understanding in the development of a safe waste-to-resource strategy.

  • Veins, Dikes and Pods of the Uae Mantle Peridotites – Possible Industrial Raw Materials

    Sulaiman Alaabed;

    The northern extension of the Semailophiolite in the UAE is dominated by tectonic mantle peridotites and gabbros. The peridotites are mostly harzburgites with little lherzolites, and contain various intermittentveins, dikes and pods. These veins, dikes and pods can be divided into three rock categories: the ultramafic group that includes dunites, chromitites and pyroxenites, the granitic dikes, and carbonate veins. Occurrences of these bodies are explicit and ubiquitous, but their distribution throughout the sequence is not consistent. Pyroxenites, chromitites, and granites occur in the upper half of the sequence, but are more pronounced and dominant close to the transition zone. Dunites pods and carbonate veins can be found at different stratigraphic levels.

  • The Preparation and Adsorption Properties of Novel Ternary Composited Diatomaceous Earth

    SUN Shiyong;ZHOU Qing;YANG Bo;WEN Ke;DONG Faqin;

    Xianfeng large-scale lignite mining area, symbiotic diatomaceous earth mining area is the second largest diatomaceous earth mining in China with high organic matter content. The Xianfeng diatomaceous earth mining is a difficult development and utilization of low-grade diatomaceous earth, which has not been effective utilized due to low economic value of traditional processes. The objectives of this paper are utilizing high organic matter content diatomite as waste resources and improving the comprehensive utilization ratio of mineral resources in Xianfeng coal mining areas. The high organic content diatomaceous earth was purified by the acid washing and then calcinations under N2 as a protective atmosphere and high temperature of 500 to 800 ℃. The organic matter was carbonized with the formation of amorphous complex of activated carbon and diatomaceous earth. The novel ternary composited diatomaceous earth was prepared by combining carbonation diatomaceous earth and magnetic nanomaterials. The absorption property of ternary composited diatomaceous earth was improved through the organosilane and polyacrylamide modification to meet the needs of practical application. Electron microscopy showed that magnetic precursor calcined under N2 as a protective atmosphere, the surface of the magnetic nanoparticles were coated with amorphous carbon, which improved chemical stability and compatibility with diatomaceous earth. The magnetic nanoparticles and amorphous activated carbon uniformly dispersed in a diatomaceous earth surface and within the pores, to form a stable magnetic nanoparticles - the amorphous active carbon - ternary complexes. The specific surface area and methylene blue adsorption test showed ternary composited diatomaceous earth performing much higher than conventional diatomite products, the novel diatomaceous earth with specific surface area of 55.79 m2/g, methylene blue adsorption capacity of 44.5 m2/g. MgFe2O4 and Co3O4-based superparamagnetic ternary composited diatomaceous earth as an unique adsorbent has great application potential in organic pollutants and heavy metals pollution treatment of water. In addition, the CoFe2O4 based soft magnetic ternary composited diatomaceous earth has potential applications in magnetic plastics, rubber functional filler fields. This study shows that the proposed technology is conducive to a substantial increasing economic value of the Xianfeng diatomaceous earth mining, has a broad industrial application prospects.

  • Graphite and Graphite-like Materials from Black Shale and Magmatic Ores: Raman Spectroscopy Data

    Tatyana Moroz;Victor Ponomarchuk;Sergey Goryainov;Konstantin Kovalev;

    Graphite and graphite-like materials widely are present at black shale and magmatic ores. The nature of these carbon materials (CM) is multifarious. In what cause connects a mineralization with carbon. The great numbers of parameters, namely, the temperature, the pressure, the shear stress, the catalytic species, the host-rock lithology, the time and etc., have an influence on the graphitization process. Accumulations of gold and platinum group elements in black graphite shale and extraction of these metals from rocks depend in considerable degree from structural properties of CM. Raman spectroscopy has wide applied for various carbon modifications, including nano-structuring materials. The first and second-order Raman spectrum have been correlated with changes in the structure of graphite. There is a linear relationship between temperature and Raman R2 and R1 parameters (derived from the area and intensity of the defect band (D) relative to the ordered graphite band (G), respectively). The purpose of the present study is to characterize the rocks and CM from carbon-rich rocks of gold-ore deposits of the black-shale formation and magmatic ores using micro-Raman spectroscopy technique (Horiba Jobin Ivon LabRam spectrometer). Exciting was performed with 325 nm line of He-Cd laser. The graphite and graphite-like samples from many ore deposits of Russia and Kazahstan are investigations. R1 and R2 ratio indicate variable degree of organisation CM in the samples. The results show different spectral variations of CM with metamorphic grade: the well-ordered graphite from magmatic rocks, more - ordered and the disordered less graphitized CM from black-shale ores. For the first time in the world practice the Raman spectroscopy technique has been applied to determine the temperature of graphitizing for CM at gold-ore deposits of the black-shale formation. The temperatures obtained on carboniferous substance for the gold deposits range from 405°С to 280°С. Temperature of CM formation from Pt-low sulphide ores of the Talnakh deposit ranges from 4700C to 6500C. It has been shown that the carbon-rich phases from black-shale and magmatic rocks have various degrees of graphitization and different carbon forms.

  • Relation Between Mechanical Constraints and The Hydration Behaviour in the Case of Na-Montmorillonite:Structural Analysis and Elastics Properties

    Walid Oueslati;Hafsia Ben Rhaiem;Abdesslem Ben Haj Amara;

    The experimental prediction of the mechanical properties of minerals remains difficult because of their small particle size (typically < 2 micrometers). This work aims at examining, the effect of an applied mechanical constraint on the hydration behaviour in the case of Na rich-montmorillonite and its relation with the elastic properties. The mechanical constraint is created, at the laboratory scale, by applying a monoaxial pressure for unstressed host material (i.e. Na rich montmorillonite). The structural analysis before and after stress is achieved using an XRD profile modeling approach. This investigation allowed us to determine several structural parameters related to the nature, abundance, size, position and organization of exchangeable cation and water molecule in the interlamellar space along the c* axis. In order to evaluate the affected elastic properties, the GULP code have been used to study the structure and the interlamellar organization. Indeed, the bulk modulus and elastic constants of montmorilonite have been calculated from first principles within density functional theory (DFT). The obtained Young’s modulus for Na-montmorillonite interlayer varies from 5 GPa to 16 GPa. According to the interlamellar space configuration the calculated elastic constant tensors indicate that the a direction is slightly more flexible than the b direction. The calculated elastic constant tensor along c is much lower than the constants calculated along a and b.

  • Preliminary Discussion on Comprehensive Utilization of Tailings

    WANG Fudong;ZHU Xiaoqing;WANG Zhonggang;HAN Tao;LI Zengsheng;SUN Xiaohui;LING Kunyao;

    Tailings produced in a concentration plant are the discharge of solid wastes after grinding ore into size and selecting useful components in the specific economic and technological condition. According to statistics, for the mining of metal ore, non-metallic ore, coal, clay, etc, the production of tailings of the world is up to 100 million tons per year. The number of existing tailing piles is 12718 in China, of which the construction ones are 1526, accounting for 12% of the total, and the closed tailing piles are 1024, accounting for 8%. As of 2007, the national total tailings accumulation is 8.046 billion tons. The non-ferrous metal mining is one of the largest discharge of solid wastes industries because of its low comprehensive recovery rate. For example, the beneficiation and recovery rate of non-ferrous metal mine is from 50% to 60% in China, which is lower 10% to 15% than developed countries, and the associated non-ferrous metal recovery rate is 40%, which is lower 20% than developed countries. On the utilization of duns, Poland is 90% to 100%, United States, Australia, France, Canada, Belgium and other countries followed, while China is only about 20%. The utilization of fly ash is to 100% in Japan and Denmark, France is 65%, UK is 55%, and China is just 45%. Quantities of waste rock, waste slag, and waste water have occupied land, destructed vegetation, deteriorated the soil and water quality, and caused land subsidence, landslides, mud-flow and other geological disasters. Therefore, the comprehensive utilization of resources is the right choice of mining sustainable development, environment protection, resource conservation, economic and social development.

  • Application of Clays in Fire Retardant Materials of Polymers

    WANG Linjiang;XIE Xiangli;Charles A.Wilkie;

    Because of the dispersion at the nanometer level, polymer-clay nanocomposites exhibit superior properties in comparison with pure polymer or conventional composites; this includes properties such as barrier properties , improved thermal stability and flame retardancy. The outstanding properties of polymer-clay nanocomposites are achieved at a much lower volume fraction, compared with conventional composites. Polymer-clay nanocomposites can be processed using common techniques, such as extrusion and casting, which are superior to the cumbersome techniques used for the conventional composites. Hence, polymer-clay nanocomposites have important potential commercial value.

  • Mineralogical Characteristics of Unusual Black Talc Ores in Guangfeng County, Jiangxi Province, China

    WANG Rucheng;LI Chengxiang;LU Xiancai;ZHANG Ming;

    Talc is a hydroxyled, magnesium-rich, layered silicate that has the ideal chemical formula Mg3Si4O10(OH)2. Due to its unique properties, such as softness, chemical inertness, high thermal stability, low electrical conductivity, lamellar habit, adsorption properties, and occurrence of a wide range of particle sizes that can be easily reduced by milling and high specific surface area, talc is widely used in many industries. A stratified deposit of unusual black talc, an occurrence of talc estimated to be more than half a billion tons, was found exposed in the late Neoproterozoic Dengying Formation, located in Guangfeng County, Jiangxi Province, southeastern China. The ores occur primarily as oolitic structures (Fig. 1). The mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of the ores were investigated by using multiple techniques. The ores were found to mainly consist of talc (30%–70%), dolomite, quartz, and magnesite. Most of talc crystals are ultrafine (with an average crystallite size of smaller than 5 μm) and appear as irregular broken or distorted lamellar flakes. The total organic carbon (TOC) content of the black talc ore samples is generally lower than 1.0%. Electron-microprobe analysis (EPMA) revealed low contents of Na, K, Ca and Mn, Fe, Ni, Al in the talc oolitic particles. The talc ores have low contents of toxic elements and relatively high contents of Li and Zn. The infrared spectrum of the black talc is similar to that of white talc from Trimouns (Pyrenees, France), and their Brunauer–Emmett-Teller (BET) specific surface areas, ranging from 15.7 to 23.2 m2/g, is much higher than those of white talc (normally lower than 5.0 m2/g), which may be due to the small size of the talc crystals.

    WANG Xiaoyu;L Guocheng;LIAO Libing;WU Limei;GONG Zhijin;

    Microwave induced catalytic oxidation has been an important mean for treating high-concentration organic pollutants. Microwave catalyst is the key factor of the pollutants removal efficiency. Manganese oxides are excellent microwave absorbing materials which may play a potential role in treating organic pollutants by microwave induction. Manganese oxides are mainly constituted by [MnO6] octohedra connected to form framework or layered structures, and are usually classified into pyrolusite-ramsdellite family with (1×n) tunnel structure, hollandite-romanechite family with (2×n) tunnel structure, todorokite family with (3×n) tunnel structure and birnessite family with (1×∞) layered structure respectively. However, previous studies focused on the catalytic degradation efficiency or process conditions, lack of discussion on the related mechanism and few studies involved in the structural details of the catalysts.

  • MnHCF/MnO_2 Core-shell Nanostructures as Cathode Material for Supercapacitors with High Energy Density

    WANG Yu;ZHONG Hao;YAN Nan;HU Haibo;CHEN Qianwang;

    A nanocomposite of manganese dioxide coated manganese hexacyanoferrate was synthesized by a facile co-precipitation method and tested as active electrode material for an electrochemical supercapacitor. A way called "Deep electro-oxidation" was used to generate manganese dioxide coated layer for stabilizing the electrode material. The structure and ingredient of the resulting MnHCF/MnO2 composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. Electrochemical testing showed a capacitance of 225.6 F/g at a sweep rate of 5 mV/s within a voltage range of 1.3 V, and high energy density of 37.2 Wh/kg at a current density of 0.5 A/g in galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling. It is suggested that the two different components, manganese hexacyanoferrate core and manganese dioxide shell, lead to an integrated electrochemical behavior, and an enhanced capacitor. The electrochemical testing and corresponding XPS analysis also demonstrated that the manganese coordinated by cyanide groups via nitrogen atoms in MnHCF did not get involved in the charge storage process during potential cycles.

  • Using Goethite as a Heterogeneous Fenton Catalyst for The Removal of Tetracycline Hydrochloride: Effects of Its Adsorptive and Reductive Activities

    WU Honghai;JIANG Fenfen;GUAN Yufeng;CHEN Xiaoling;

    The removal of the antibiotic compound tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) was investigated by using goethite/H2O2 as a heterogeneous Fenton reagent. Five principle operational parameters, especially solution pH value, were taken into account to investigate how the heterogeneous Fenton process factors mediated the TC removal. This process was effective but seriously impacted by the pH value and temperature, as well as the dosages of α-FeOOH, TC and H2O2. Very interestingly, the acidic and alkaline aqueous medium conditions were both very favorable due to the occurrence of transformation of Fe(III) to Fe(II) on goethite surfaces reduced by TC at pH 3.0~4.0 even though with a low adsorption capacity of TC because its maximum adsorption of negatively charged form occurred at pH around 8.0[1], thereby greatly promoting the TC Fenton oxidative elimination. However, a rapid initial TC decay was observed at the first 5 min, followed by a much slower retardation stage, which was likely because the reductive transformation of Fe(III) to Fe(II) by TC in the solution was inhibited as the Fenton reaction proceeded. Moreover, the hydroxyl radical scavenger t-butanol addition can decrease the removal rate of TC in the goethite/H2O2 system to a certain extent. This further indicated that the main reactive species in this process were hydroxyl radicals[2]. All the goethite-catalysed heterogeneous Fenton reactions are responsible for the TC removal following the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, were well fitted to pseudo-first order kinetics (R2>0.99), and their apparent activation energy (E) for this Fenton-like reaction was 31.86 kJ mol 1, a low value that is highly consistent with the ease of TC decay greatly enhanced by the temperature rise, indicated that the interfacial controlling interactions such as a proton induced solubilization and a reductive dissolution of goethite can clearly improve its Fenton catalytic activity[3], and these dissolution processes may not be effective in some cases, while the TC adsorption process may always play an important role to control the TC removal rate during the Fenton reaction.

  • Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Mica Glass-Ceramics Prepared by Pressureless Sintering a Phlogopite and Various Additives

    WU Xiaowen;CHEN Yufei;HUANG Zhaohui;LIU Yangai;FANG Minghao;

    Mica glass-ceramics were prepared by pressureless sintering with a phlogopite and various additives as raw materials. The effects of CaF2 content, Li2O content, ZrO2 content, and sintering temperature on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the mica glass-ceramics were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and mechanical testing, respectively. The results show that the additive of ZrO2 has the best reinforcing effect on the flexural strength of the mica glass-ceramics. The smaller powder particles and the larger forming pressure result in the larger bulk density of the mica glass-ceramics samples. The main crystallite phases of samples with ZrO2 as additive were phlogopite and quartz with sintering temperature lower than 1120 ℃. The crystal phase of glass ceramics appeared fiberform and cross arranges with good lap. The highest value of flexural strength, 63.7 MPa, was shown on sample with 10wt% ZrO2 as additive and sintering temperature of 1120 ℃.

  • Biomass Roasting Reduction of Goethite Ores

    WU Yan;LI Yonghuo;YANG Xiang;XIAO Wending;YANG Mei;ZHANG Ping;BAO Zhengyu;

    Effective use of low-grade goethite ores in steel industry is necessary to achieve cost reduction and solve the problem of resource shortage. Biomass as heating and reducing agent attract much more attention for utilization in ironmaking process due to its low-carbon, energy-saving, emission-cutting and low-cost. We investigate three types of biomass (corn straw, pine sawdust, rice husk powders) roasting reduction mechanism and the magnetism of the roasting products. Structure analysis indicates that 15% dosage of each biomass mixed with goethite ores roasting at 550-600 °C for 1h could be effectively converted into strong magnetic product, i.e. maghemite (γ-Fe2O3). Weak magnetic separation shows that under the magnetic field of 200 kA/m, goethite ores roasted by 15% of pine sawdust could achieve TFe 61.64% with the recovery of 79.75%, TFe 61.75% with the recovery of 80.16% for roasting with rice husk, and TFe 61.47% with the recovery of 81.28% for roasting with corn straw.

  • Biomimetic Mineralizated and Nano-Ag Loadedgraphene Oxide/Chitosan Hybrid Scaffold for Osteoinduction and Antibacterium

    XIE Chaoming;LU Xiong;JIANG Lili;

    Graphene oxide (GO) is a graphene derivatives that has oxygen-containing functional groups on the graphene basal plane, such as hydroxyl, carbonyl, epoxy and carboxyl groups. GO is considered as a promising material for biological applications owing to its excellent surface functionalizability, high specific suface area and good biocompatibility. In this study, GO/chitosan hybrid scaffolds were prepared for tissue engineering. Nano silver was loaded into the scaffold to improve its antibacterial ability and biomimetic Ca-P coatings were deposited on the scaffold surface to enhance its osteoconductivity. First, GO was prepared by the chemical oxidization of graphite. Secondly, nano-Ag loaded GO was prepared by chemical reducing Ag ions in GO solutions. Then, nano-Ag loaded GO solution was mixed with CS solution to form GO-CS gel. Chitosan (CS) and GO were crosslinked by electrostatic interactions between oxygen-containing functional groups of GO and NH2 groups of CS. The gel were freeze dried to produce nano-Ag loaded GO/CS hybrid porous scaffolds. Finally, the as-prepared scaffolds were immersed the into a supersaturated calcium phosphate solution (SCPS) for 7 days to deposite CaP coatings on the surface of the micropores. SEM images showed that nano-Ag uniformly distributed in the scaffold and the CaP covered most of the scaffold surfaces. In vitro cell culture and antimicrobial test indicated the biomimetic mineralized Ag-CS-GO scaffolds have good osteoconductivity and bactericidal ability.

  • Redistribution of Trace Elements During Shock-inducd Melting and Phase Tranzition of Minerals in the Suizhou l6 Chondrite

    XIE Xiande;ZHANG Hong;WANG Chunyun;

    The Suizhou meteorite is an L6 chondrite. This meteorite is consisted of olivine, low-Ca pyroxene, plagioclase, FeNi metal, troilite, whitlockite, chlorapatite, chromite and ilmenite. Olivine and pyroxene grains display shock-induced mosaic texture, and most plagioclase grains were melted and transformed to maskelynite. This meteorite contains a few very thin shock-produced melt veins ranging from 20 to 100 μm in width. They are chondritic in composition and contain abundant high-pressure minerals in two assemblages. One is the coarse-grained assemblage of ringwoodite, majorite, lingunite with minor amount of tuite, xieite, the CF-phase, akimotoite and amorphized perovskite, and the fine-grained assemblage (the melt vein matrix) composed of majorite-pyrope garnet, magnesiowüstite. FeNi metal and troilite in the Suizhou shock veins were molten and occur as small intergrowth grains or veinlets filling the interstices of garnet crystals or cracks in the vein matrix. It was revealed that olivine, pyroxene and plagioclase in the Suizhou shock veins have transformed in solid state to their high-pressure polymorphs ringwoodite, majorite, and lingunite, respectively, without change in their chemical compositions.

    Magnetic properties of single-crystalline preferential {001}-oriented Bi2Fe4O9nanosheets with thickness of about 13 nm, synthesized via a facile hydrothermal method, have been investigated through variable temperature electron spin resonance measurement. A typical ferromagnetic state could be appeared in the measured temperature from 110 K to 300 K and the origin would be contributed to uncompensated surface spin due to its large surface-to-volume ratio and/or a few non-detectable impurities with strong magnetism. Interestingly, another weak ferromagnetic state could present below the temperature about 250 K, indicative of Neel temperature (TN) of antiferromagnetic state, which is slightly lower than that of bulksample of 265 K.

  • Effects of Particle Size and Chain Length on Flotation and Adsorption of Quaternary Ammonium Salts onto Kaolinite

    XU Longhua;HU Yuehua;WU houqin;DONG Faqin;JIANG Hao;WANG zhen;LIU Ruohua;

    Effects of particle size and chain length on flotation of quaternary ammonium salts (QAS) onto kaolinite have been investigated by mico-flotation tests. The two kinds of quaternary ammonium salts [RN(CH3)3] with different chain lengths, dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride (DTAC) and cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC) were used as collectors for kaolinite in different particle size fractions (0.075–0.01 mm, 0.045–0.075 mm, 0–0.045 mm). The anomalous flotation behavior of kaolinite have been further explained based on crystal structure considerations by adsorption tests and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. The results show that the flotation recovery of kaolinite in all different particle size fractions decreases with an increase in pH when DTAC and CTAC are used as collectors. As the concentration of collectors increases, the flotation recovery increases. The longer the carbon chain of QAS is, the higher the recoveries of coarse kaolinite (0.075–0.01 mm and 0.045–0.075 mm) are. But the flotation recovery of the finest kaolinite (0–0.045 mm) decreases with chain lengths of QAS collectors increasing, which is consistent with the flotation results of unsifted kaolinite (0–0.075 mm). It is explained by the froth stability related to the residual concentration of QAS collector. In lower residual concentration, the froth stability becomes worse. Within the range of flotation collector concentration, it's easy of CTAC to be completely adsorbed by kaolinite in the particle size fraction (0–0.045 mm), which led to lower flotation recovery. Moreover, it is interesting that the particle size of kaolinite is coarser, the flotation recovery is higher. The anomalous flotation behavior of kaolinite is rationalized based on crystal structure considerations. The results of MD simulations show that the (001) kaolinite surface has the strongest interaction with DTAC, compared with the (001), (010) and (110) surfaces. On the other hand, when particle size of kaolinite is altered, the number of basal planes and edge planes is changed. It is observed that the finer kaolinite particles size become, the greater relative surface area of edges is, and the more the number of edges is. It means that fine kaolinite particles have more edges to adsorb less cationic colletors than that of coarse kaolinite particles, which is responsible for the poorer floatability of fine kaolinite.

  • Microbe-Mediated Mineral Transformation of Montmorillonite by a Strain of Bacillus Mucilaginosus 3027

    YANG Xiaoxue;LU Anhuai;LI Yan;WANG Haoran;ZHU Yun;DING Hongrui;

    Clay minerals are ubiquitous on epigeosphere, especially in soils and sediments where microbes thrive. The clay-microbe interactions are common in these geological media and greatly contribute to accelerating the mineral transformation process, e.g. the illitization of nontronite (a Fe-rich smectite) catalyzed by microbes under anoxic atmosphere in 2 weeks. However, few has considered montmorillonite, a Fe-poor smectite more typical in natural environments than nontronite. This study therefore focuses on the interaction between montmorillonite and bacteria under conditions relevant to those in natural soils and sediments.

  • Removal of Cu(Ⅱ) From Aqueous Solutions Using Colloidal Pyrite Calcined Under Inert Atmosphere

    YANG Yan;CHEN Tianhu;LI Ping;LIU Haibo;SHI Yadan;ZHAN Xinmin;

    A natural colloidal pyrite calcined in N2 atmosphere was utilized to remove Cu(II) from aqueous solutions in present work. Effect of calcination temperature, initial solution pH, reaction time, initial Cu(II) concentration, sorption temperature, foreign ions and the dissolved oxygen (DO) on Cu(II) removal was investigated. The results showed that colloidal pyrite calcined at 500-550°C (CCPy) has a most promising potential for Cu(II) removal. The increase of pH, initial Cu(II) concentration and reaction time benefited the improvement of Cu(II) removal efficiency. The isothermal adsorption data of CCPy was well described by Langmuir isotherms and the thermodynamic parameters (ΔG<0, ΔH>0), indicating the endothermic nature of Cu(II) sorption on CCPy. The presence of most common ions in acid mine drainage and DO just had little influence on the Cu(II) uptake. The observation implied that CCPy is a low-cost, abundant material for Cu removal from Cu waters.

  • The Role of Flotation Reagents in the Reverse Flotation of Carbonate-Containing Iron Ores

    YIN Wanzhong;WANG Jizhen;XU Longhua;

    The Influence of pulp pH, dispersants and auxiliary collectors on reverse flotation of carbonate-containing iron ores were explored. Interactions between iron ores and quartz were theoretically analyzed by flotation solution chemistry and DLVO theory. The results indicated that the iron concentrate grade improved sharply when pH increased from 11.0 to 12.0, but changed unobviously when pH was larger than 12.0, which was related to solution chemistry of siderite and interactions among particles. Sodium tripolyphosphate was an effective dispersant and sodium dodecyl sulfate was an effective auxiliary collector of KS-III. Both recovery and grade enhanced by the action of sodium dodecyl sulfate or sodium tripolyphosphate when pH was 12.0.

  • Relations Between Paleoclimatological Conditions and Mineralogical Characteristics of Clays in Miocene Sediments at Linxia Basin, China

    YU Na;HONG Hanlie;LI Zhaohui;ZHANG Kexin;LI Rongbiao;

    Linxia Basin is a late Cenozoic fault-block basin along the border between the Tibet plateau and the Loess plateau in Northwestern China. Its formation and sediments record may be directly affected by the structural dynamics and the uplift of the Tibet Plateau. For this reason, we studied the mineral characteristics of the Maogou formation of Miocene sediments using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD results showed that quartz, chlorite, illite, calcite, plagioclase, orthoclase, kaolinite, and trace palygorskite are present throughout the sequence of the cross-section in Linxia basin. In contrast, gypsum and ankerite occur occasionally in the upper portion of the Miocene deposits. The content of calcite varied with layers in the profile and was relatively concentrated in mudstone. Chlorite and illite were observed transforming into palygorskite under SEM observation. Based on the mineral characteristics and the change of mineral composition, especially the clay minerals, it could be inferred that an arid environment prevailed in the region with warm and cold intervals during Miocene time.

  • Effects of Zeolitization of Diatomite on Benzene Adsorption

    YU Wenbin;LIU Dong;YUAN Peng;YUAN Weiwei;DENG Liangliang;

    Diatomite, a type of biogenic mineral, is sourced from deposition and accumulation of diatom shell. Diatom shells are mainly composed of amorphous hydrated silica, which is categorized as non-crystalline opal-A according to the mineralogical classification. Diatomite has a characteristic macro/mesoporous structure and unique physical and chemical capabilities, such as high thermal stability, strong acid resistance, and high adsorption capacity, and thus is widely used as the filter aid, catalytic support, and adsorbent. However, the low surface area of diatomite shows disadvantage in adsorption. Moreover, the hydrophilic surface which contains abundant silanols is usually covered by adsorbed water, resulting in that the adsorption sites of diatomite were occupied and the adsorption capacity of hydrophobic guests decreased. In previous reports, zeolitization was employed to increase the specific surface area (SBET) and porosity of diatomite. However, the hydrophilic property of diatomite was not changed after zeolitization. It is due to that the zeolite formed on the surface area of diatomite contained some aluminum in its structure, which was highly hydrophilic. Therefore, it is significantly interesting to prepare the zeolitized diatomite with both large SBET and high hydrophobicity.

  • Natural Tubular Halloysite as Drug Carrier: Effect of Organosilane Modification and Thermal Treatment

    YUAN Peng;TAN Daoyong;Annabi-Bergaya Faza;LIU Dong;LIU Hongmei;

    Naturally occurring tubular halloysite is a potential drug carrier because of the significant deposit, unique mesoscopic (2-50 nm) or even macroscopic (>50 nm) lumen, and excellent biocompatibility. The drugs loaded on halloysite exhibited slow release under the diffusion limitation by the halloysite nanotube. However, due to the weak interaction between halloysite and guest, the loading capacity of halloysite was relatively low. This drawback severely limits the application of halloysite as carrier in pharmaceutics. In this study, the performance of halloysite as carrier for ibuprofen (IBU) loading was investigated for the first time. The effects of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) modification and thermal treatment of halloysite on the loading and release of IBU were also studied. The purified halloysites were heated at 120 ℃ and 400 ℃ (labeled as Hal/120 and Hal/400), and then modified with APTES (labeled as Hal/120-A and Hal/400-A). The loading of IBU was achieved by soaking method (labeled as IBU-Hal/120, IBU-Hal/400, IBU-Hal/120-A, and IBU-Hal/400-A.). The in vitro drug delivery assays were performed in phosphate buffer solution. IBU was loaded mainly into the lumen and partially on the external surface of halloysite. The order of IBU contents was as follows: IBU-Hal/400-A (14.8wt%) > IBU-Hal/120-A (12.7wt%) > IBU-Hal/400 (11.8wt%) > IBU-Hal/120 (11.7wt%). The IBU was initially anchored to the surface hydroxyl groups of halloysite by hydrogen bonding, followed by further bonding of IBU with the anchored IBU to form hydrogen-bonded aggregates. The APTES modification of halloysite promoted the loading of IBU by introducing a strong affinity through electrostatic attraction between the introduced aminopropyl groups of APTES and the carboxyl groups of IBU. Thermal treatment at 400°C did not destroy the tubular morphology or the crystal structure of halloysite and had little effect on IBU loading in unmodified halloysite. However, thermal treatment by reducing water content in halloysite restricted the grafting of APTES in the lumen space, and further increased IBU loading. All IBU-loaded samples exhibit a burst release with a following slow release. However, owing to the strong electrostatic attraction in modified samples, the burst release was much more suppressed and the release rate was also lower than that in unmodified ones. The in vitro release profiles of the IBU-loaded samples were well fitted with the modified Korsmeyer-Peppas model. The IBU release mechanism of the unmodified samples was Fickian diffusion; however it was non-Fickian diffusion for the modified samples. The findings are of significance for broadening the use of halloysite as carrier for drugs and other active molecules in the pharmaceutical, pesticides, and coating industries.

  • Recycling of Cristobalite Powder in Casting Mould

    ZENG Qun;SHEN Keya;ZHOU Yongheng;

    Cristobalite SiO2 can be obtained from the fused silica ceramic waste of ploysilicon plant, due to the phase conversion of fused silica to cristobalite during the process of polysilicon ingot. Cristobalite powder materials with high purity are manufactured by milling the discarded waste above. Thermal expansion rate of the cristobalite and gypsum bonding moulds were studied, which show that the thermal expansion of the cristobalite phase transition could effectively compensate for the shrinkage of the gypsum at the temperature between 200 ℃ and 400 ℃. Casting experiments with copper alloy show that the cristobalite can improve the thermal performance of moulds for precise casting of jewelry.

    Detect the change of the Expression of oncoprotein on the Chinese hamster lung cells (V79 cells) which effect with two main district of China and four alternative chrysotile fiber to investigate the factors of lung cancer. V79 cells were exposed to the suspension of Chrysotile and its substitute with different powder content, the survival rate of cells was monitored by MTT. After 48 h, the location, distribution and expression of Survivin, Cap43, Bcl-2, p16 and p53 in V79 cell were examined by immunohistochemistry and compared. In the six kinds of powder, the inhibition of rockwool on the growth of cells was weakest, the inhibition of Chrysotile from Xinkang Sichuan and Southern Shanxi on the growth of cells was strongest. Chrysotile from Xinkang Sichuan, Chrysotile from Southern Shanxi, glass fiber, ceramic fiber, rockwool and wollastonite had a certain influence on the survival rate of V79 cells. As the concentration of powder increased the survival rate of cells decreased, which showed dose-effect relationship. The expression of Survivin, Cap43 and Bcl-2 was upregulated and the expression of P16 and P53 was downregulated in V79 cells, which was obviously in the powder suspension of Chrysotile from Southern Shanxi and Xinkang Sichuan and glass fiber. The expression was mainly in cytoplasm. The influence of different kind of powder on the cells differed in degree. Chrysotile and its substitute can induce the development of cancer by upregulating the expression of Survivin, Cap43 and Bcl-2 and downregulating the expression of p16 and p53.

    ZHANG Chao;GAO Wenyuan;ZHOU Shanglu;WANG Shujun;YANG Changwei;HUANG Fei;MAo Ning;

    The Xiuyan Jade samples were treated under thermal conditions. By polarizing microscope, the three kinds of jade were choosed. With DTA-TG analysis, three transition temperatures were obtained which were 600℃, 770℃ and 840℃. The study interpreted the mechanism of Xiuyan Jade under thermal condition through XRD analysis results. The mechanism of antigorite thermal activation was as following: when the temperature reached 600℃, the hydroxyl in octahedral sheet began dehydrating, and the new mineral phase forsterite was found, but the layer structure was maintained; when the temperature reached 770℃, the layer structure of antigorite was destroyed; when the temperature reached 840℃, the crystallinity of forsterite was improved, then another new mineral phase enstatite appeard. For talc, it was likely turn to enstatite directly while the temperature rising, and the appearance of SiO2 was most likely due to the conversion of talc.

  • Study on the Dissolution of Dusts in Glutamic Acid

    ZHANG Ling;DONG Faqin;HE Xiaochun;

    This article describes the characteristics of natural dusts, artificial dusts and industrial dusts, such as mineral phases, chemical components, morphological observation and size. Quartz and calcite are the main phases of natural dusts and industrial dusts with high SiO2, CaO and low K2O, Na2O on the chemical composition. Natural dusts are mainly irregular shaped and some particle aggregation made of small dusts on the surface of large dust. Industrial dusts are globular and blob-like, but artificial dusts are columnar and fibrous. The fine particles are mainly in the range of 0.3-5 μm,of which the dusts of less than 5 μm are over 99%.The dissolution and electrochemical action of dusts in glutamic acid liquor at the simulated human body temperature (37 ℃) in 32 hours were investigated. The changes of pH values and electric conductivity of those dusts were similar, increased slowly in first 8 hours, and then the pH values increased rapidly. The total amount of dissolved ions of K, Ca, Na, Mg was 35.4-429 mg/L, particularly Ca was maximal of 20-334 mg/L. The total amount of dissolved ions of Fe, Zn, Mn, Pb, Ba was 0.18-5.59 ppm and the Al, Si was 3.0-21.7 mg/L. Each element dissolved rapidly relatively in first 16 hours. The relative solubility order of dusts in glutamic acid are: wollastonite > serpentine > sepiolite, the cement plant industrial dusts > power plant industrial dusts, and natural dusts have similar solubility. The wollastonite and power plant industrial dusts have highest solubility, which have high content of CaO; this shows there are a poorer corrosion-resisting ability and lower bio-resistibility. Sepiolite and cement plant industrial dusts have lowest solubility, which have high content of SiO2; this shows there are a higher corrosion-resisting ability and stronger bio-resistibility.

  • Ingestion of Carbon Nanotubes and Mesoporous Silica Nanospheres by Caenorhabditis Elegans

    ZHANG Ye;WEI Qing;BI Hong;QI Linxiang;ZHANG Hong;

    The toxic effects to microorganism induced by nanomaterials have received considerable attentions in the past decades [1]. Herein, two diverse nanomaterials i.e. multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and mesoporous silica nanospheres (MSNs) were prepared to investigate their deleterious effects on Caenorhabditis. elegans (C. elegans)[2-3]. As shown in Figure 1A, histidine functionalized MWCNTs (his-MWCNTs) were in length of ~500 nm with outer diameter ~20 nm, while fluorescein isothiocyanate dyed MSNs (FITC-MSNs) were in an average diameter of ~70 nm (Figure 1B). Microscopic images display his-MWCNTs having been ingested into intestine of C. elegans after co-incubation for 2 h, as arrowed in Figure 1C and 1E. In contrast, no MSNs were observed to be ingested after co-incubating in the same liquid medium. However, fluorescence microscopic images (Figure 1D and 1F) demonstrate that FITC-MSNs could be ingested by C. elegans after co-incubation for 24 h or longer time via seeding Kingagar plates with FITC-MSNs.

  • Chemical and Mineralogical Characterizations of High Ti-Bearing Blast Furnace Slag in Panzhihua, China

    ZHOU Guobiao;PENG Tongjiang;SUN Hongjuan;

    Chemical and mineralogical characterizations of high Ti-bearing blast furnace slag in Panzhihua region were investigated and the technical approach "recycling Fe by magnetic separation-extracting Al by sulfation roasting and water leaching-extracting Ti by acidolysis" was proposed for recycling the valuable elements from the special mineral resources. The results show that the most valuable metal is Ti (20.46% TiO2, mass fraction). Other metals, such as Al, Mg and Fe can also be seen as valuable metal to be recovered. Minerals such as perovskite, diopside and spinel are disseminated in the slag. Metallic iron usually filling in the diopside, the Ti element in the slag is distributed widely in many types of mineral phases and Ti component enriches mainly in perovskite phase. It is highly euhedral and mostly disseminates in the diopside, usually presents an equiaxed or irregular granular shape, particles are commonly tiny, in the range of 10–20 μm.

  • The Structure of Montmorillonites Modified with Zwitterionic Surfactants and Their Sorption Ability

    ZHU Jianxi;QING Yanhong;MA Lingya;

    In the past four decades, there is a growing use of surfactant modified clay complexes in wide range of applications. The mostly used surfactants to modify the swelling clay minerals are cationic surfactants, such as quaternary ammonium, which consists of two distinct moieties, a hydrophilic head, where the positive charge is concentrated, and a hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain tail. During the surface modification, this kind of surfactant molecules attach on the inner and outer surface of clay minerals, the hydrophilic surface of raw clay minerals may changed into hydrophobic surface. The changes of organophilicity and hydrophobicity of clay minerals enable them used in more wide fields, such as adsorbents for organic contaminant, geotechnical barriers, filling of nanocomposite, etc.

  • Enhancing the Adsorption Capacity of TMA-montmorillonite Toward HOCs

    ZHU Runliang;ZHAO Junbo;ZHU Jianxi;HE Hongping;

    Organoclays synthesized with small organic cations can effectively adsorb hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs), and the hydrophobic siloxane surfaces of clay minerals have been considered as the main adsorption sites for HOCs. Therefore, reducing charge density of clay minerals which can effectively increase the exposed siloxane surface areas has been generally used to enhance the adsorption capacity of organoclays towards HOCs. In this work, we will present a new method to increase the exposed siloxane surface areas of the synthesized organoclays and enhance their adsorption capacity. Firstly, the original inorganic cations on montmorillonite were exchanged with Li+, and then part of the Li+ (i.e., 20% to 60% of the montmorillonite’s CEC) were further exchanged with tetramethylammonium cation (TMA). After that ,the samples were heated at 200 ℃ for 12 h to make sure most of the Li+ were transferred to montmorillonite layers. With this method the layer charge of montmorillonite can be effectively reduced while the layered structure of montmorillonite will be preserved by pre-exchanged TMA. Finally, the remaining Li+ cations were further exchanged with TMA. The structural and adsorptive characteristics of the resulting organoclays were compared with those synthesized using traditional method (i.e., first reducing the charge density and then exchanging TMA).

  • Secondary Minerals of Weathered Orpiment-Realgar-Bearing Tailings in Shimen Carbonate-Type Realgar Mine,Changde, Central China

    ZHU Xiangyu;WANG Rucheng;LU Xiancai;

    Formation and dissolution of secondary arsenic minerals often play significant roles in controlling arsenic mobility in contaminated environments, especially in sulfide mines. Weathering of the orpiment and realgar-bearing tailings from the Shimen realgar deposit, the largest realgar deposit in Asia, were studied. An integrated mineralogical analysis by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Raman spectrum, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) reveals four kinds of As-bearing secondary minerals including arsenic oxides, arsenates, As-gypsum, and As-Fe minerals. The precipitation of arsenates is due to interaction of As-bearing run-off waters and the underlying carbonate rocks, or the transformation of gypsum into arsenates or As-bearing gypsum through SO42-/HAsO42- substitution. Ca-arsenates are mainly weilite and pharmacolite with Ca/As atomic ratio of 1. Scanning transmission X-ray microscope (STXM) and X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) reveal that the valence of arsenic is mainly +3 and +5.
