Previous investigations studied this reaction but did not sufficiently characterize the intermediates and end products at 2− chromate (CrO4 ) concentrations typical of contaminant plumes, hindering identification of the dominant reaction mechanisms under these conditions.

Chemical analysis by electron microprobe showed zoned crystals with a rim enriched in S and Fe relative to the core. The core composition is SO3 3.31, As2O5 30.57, Al2O3 23.05, FeO 1.44, PbO 33.94, H2Ocalc 9.58, total 2+ 2+ 101.79 wt.%, corresponding to Pb0.98(Al2.92Fe0.13)(AsO4)[(As0.72S0.27)O3.14(OH)0.85](OH)6; and the rim composition is SO3 8.88, As2O5 22.63, Al2O3 22.90, FeO 2.57, PbO 34.91, H2Ocalc 9.27, total 2+ 2+ 101.16 wt.%, corresponding to Pb0.99(Al2.85Fe0.23)(AsO4)[(As0.25S0.70)O3.30(OH)0.50](OH)6. PhilipsborniteÀhidalgoite has the alunite-type structure, sheets of corner-sharing octahedra, decorated on top and bottom by [(As,S)O4]and(AsO3OH) tetrahedra, that are linked into a three-dimensional structure by [12]-coordinated Pb2+ cations and hydrogen bonds.

  • Germanium-Bearing Colusite from the Yanahara Mine, Japan, and Its Significance to Ore Genesis
    RESOURCE GEOLOGY, 44(1), 33•`38, 1994 Germanium-bearing Colusite from the Yanahara Mine, Japan, and Its Significance to Ore Genesis Katsuo KASE*, Masahiro YAMAMOTO* and Chiharu MITSUNO* Abstract: Colusite, Cu26V2(As,Ge)6S32, containing up to 4.3 wt.% Ge occurs with pyrite, chalcopyrite and bomite in sphalerite-barite-rich ores of the volcanogenic massive sulfide orebody at Hinotani L-1, the Yanahara mine. Electron micro- probe analysis reveals that As and V are pentavalent and Ge is tetravalent in the mineral the same as in germanite and renierite, suggesting that the Ge-bearing colusite was precipitated under high fs2 and foe conditions. These Ge-bearing min- erals sometimes occur in the Kuroko deposits related with felsic volcanism, associated with pyrite, chalcopyrite and bomite as at Hinotani, while practically no Ge-bearing minerals occur in the Besshi-type deposits related with mafic volcanism. It is concluded that the ore solutions responsible for the Hinotani L-1 orebody and possibly for whole orebodies at Yanahara are related with felsic volcanism. ore mineralogy is similar to that of the typical 1. Introduction Besshi-type deposits. The deposit is thus ambigu- There are two major types of volcanogenic mas- ous in the classification, and sometimes called sive sulfide deposits in Japan: Kuroko deposits and Besshi-type deposits. The Kuroko deposits are genetically related with Miocene dacitic-rhy- olitic volcanism, and characterized by high Zn, Pb and Ag contents and an abundance of sulfate min- erals. The Besshi-type cupriferous iron sulfide de- posits, equivalent to Kieslager, occur in the se- quence consisting of basalts and sediments, or their metamorphic equivalents, and are very low in the Pb content and poor in sulfate minerals.

  • DESCRIPTIVE MODEL of KIPUSHI Cu-Pb-Zn
    Model 32c DESCRIPTIVE MODEL OF KIPUSHI Cu-Pb-Zn By Dennis P. Cox and Lawrence R. Bernstein DESCRIPTION Massive base-metal sulfides and As-sulfosalts in dolomite breccias characterized by minor Co, Ge, Ga, U, and V. GEOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT Rock Types Dolomite, shale. No rocks of unequivocal igneous origin are related to ore formation. [The pseudoaplite at Tsumeb is herein assumed to be a metasedimentary rock following H. D. LeRoex (1955, unpublished report).] Textures Fine-grained massive and carbonaceous, laminated, stromatolitic dolomites. Age Range Unknown; host rocks are Proterozoic in Africa, Devonian in Alaska, Pennsylvanian in Utah. Depositional Environment High fluid flow along tabular or pipe-like fault- or karst (?)-breccia zones. Tectonic Setting(s) Continental platform or shelf terrane with continental or passive margin rifting. Ore formation at Tsumeb and Ruby Creek predates folding. Associated Deposit Types Sedimentary copper, U-veins, barite veins. Sedimentary exhalative Pb-Zn may be a lateral facies. DEPOSIT DESCRIPTION Mineralogy Ruby Creek: pyrite, bornite, chalcocite, chalcopyrite, carrollite, sphalerite, tennantite. Tsumeb: galena, sphalerite, bornite, tennantite, enargite. Kipushi: sphalerite, bornite, chalcopyrite, carrollite, chalcocite, tennantite, pyrite. Less abundant minerals in these deposits are linnaeite, Co-pyrite, germanite, renierite, gallite, tungstenite, molybdenite, and native Bi. Bituminous matter in vugs. At Apex mine, marcasite. Texture/Structure Massive replacement, breccia filling, or stockwork. Replacement textures of pyrite after marcasite at Ruby Creek and Apex. Alteration Dolomitization, sideritization, and silicification may be related to mineralization. Early pyrite or arsenopyrite as breccia filling or dissemination. Ore Controls Abundant diagenetic pyrite or other source of S acts as precipitant of base metals in zones of high porosity and fluid flow.

Under crossed polars anisotropic with slight color effects from gray to pale brown Maximum reflectance is given at 16 wave lengths (t140 740 nm) 56.8 percent at 460 nm; 59.2 at 540; 59.6 at 580; 6I.2 at 660. Microhardness (kg/mmr) was measured on 3 grains: 205,232, av 217;168- 199, av 180; 205-232, av 219. The mineral occurs in vein ores of the'r'alnakh deposit amidst chalcopyrite, talnekhite, and cubanite, in grains up to 0.3 mm, intergro.wn with pdspb, Cupd6 (Sn, pb): (stannopal- ladinite), nickeloan platinum, sphalerite, and native Ag The name is for the occurence in the Polar urals.

In order to characterize the iron oxides in this biofilm and to establish the nature of secondary minerals formed after anaerobic incubation, we conducted solid analysis and performed batch incubations. Elemental analysis indicated a major amount of iron as inorganic compartment along with organic matter.

    NEW MINERAL NAN,{ES Gallite H. SrnuNz, B. H. Grran, exo E. Snnr,rcrn. Gallit, cuGaS:, das erste selbstandige Galli- ummineral, und seine verbreitung in den Erzen der Tsumeb- uncl Kipushi-Mine. NeuesJahrb. Mineral , Monotslt- 1958, No. 1l-1'2,241-264. Galium has long been known to be present in amounts up to 1,.85/6in germanite from Tsumeb and various unidentified minerals have been thought to be gallium minerals. This is now proved to be the case. Analyses by W.
