Karpenko Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, [email protected] A new silico-phosphate of Ba, Ca, REE, Ti, and Nb found in the Darai-Pioz alkaline massif, Tajikistan, has been named byzantievite because of its complex chemical composition and structure, reminiscent of the complex, but well-organized structure of the Byzantine Empire. The new mineral was discovered on a rock composed of micro- cline, quartz, aegirine and ferrileakeite; accessory minerals are: calcybeborosilite-(Y), pyrophanite, stillwellite- (Ce), danburite, thorite and pyrochlore. The new mineral occurs as tabular grains up to 0.5 x 1.8 mm in size and aggregates of these grains up to 2.5 mm in size. Byzantievite is brown with a pale-yellow streak. Luster is vitre- ous, slightly greasy on fracture surfaces. Cleavage is not observable; fracture is conchoidal. The Mohs’ hardness is 4.5–5. The mean (10 measurements) microhardness VHN is 486 kg/mm2. The measured density is 4.10(3) g/cm3, calculated density is 4.15 g/cm3. Byzantievite is optically negative, uniaxial, w = 1.940, e = 1.860 ± 0.005. The new mi neral is pleochroic from light brown along e to very pale brown along w; ab sorp - tion is e >> w.

It has been discovered simultaneously at the La Creusaz uranium deposit near Les Marécottes in Valais, Switzerland, and at the Number 2 uranium Workings, Radium Ridge near Mt. Painter, Arkaroola area, Northern Flinders Ranges in South Australia. Françoisite-(Ce) is a uranyl- bearing supergene mineral that results from the alteration under oxidative conditions of REE- and U4+- bearing hypogene minerals: allanite-(Ce), monazite-(Ce), ±uraninite at Les Marécottes; monazite-(Ce), ishikawaite-samarskite, and an unknown primary U-mineral at Radium Ridge. The REE composition of françoisite-(Ce) results from a short aqueous transport of REE leached out of primary minerals [most likely monazite-(Ce) at Radium Ridge and allanite-(Ce) at La Creusaz], with fractionation among REE resulting mainly from aqueous transport, with only limited Ce loss due to oxidation to Ce4+ during transport.

  • Paulscherrerite from the Number 2 Workings, Mount Painter Inlier, Northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia: “Dehydrated Schoepite” Is a Mineral After All
    American Mineralogist, Volume 96, pages 229–240, 2011 Paulscherrerite from the Number 2 Workings, Mount Painter Inlier, Northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia: “Dehydrated schoepite” is a mineral after all JOËL BRUGGER,1,2,* NICOLAS MEISSER,3 BAR B ARA ETSCH M A nn ,1 STEFA N AN SER M ET ,3 A N D ALLA N PRI N G 2 1Tectonics, Resources and Exploration (TRaX), School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Adelaide, SA-5005 Adelaide, Australia 2Division of Mineralogy, South Australian Museum, SA-5000 Adelaide, Australia 3Musée Géologique and Laboratoire des Rayons-X, Institut de Minéralogie et de Géochimie, UNIL—Anthropole, CH-1015 Lausanne-Dorigny, Switzerland AB STRACT Paulscherrerite, UO2(OH)2, occurs as an abundant dehydration product of metaschoepite at the Number 2 Workings at Radium Ridge, Northern Flinders Ranges, South Australia. The mineral name honors the contribution of Swiss physicist Paul Scherrer (1890–1969) to mineralogy and nuclear physics. Individual paulscherrerite crystals are tabular, reaching a maximum of 500 nm in length. Paulscherrerite has a canary yellow color and displays no fluorescence under UV light. Chemically, paulscherrerite is a pure uranyl hydroxide/hydrate, containing only traces of other metals (<1 wt% in total). Bulk (mg) samples always contain admixtures of metaschoepite (purest samples have ~80 wt% paulscherrerite). A thermogravimetric analysis corrected for the presence of metaschoepite contamina- tion leads to the empirical formula UO3·1.02H2O, and the simplified structural formula UO2(OH)2. Powder diffraction shows that the crystal structure of paulscherrerite is closely related to that of synthetic orthorhombic α-UO2(OH)2. However, splitting of some X-ray diffraction lines suggests a monoclinic symmetry for type paulscherrerite, with a = 4.288(2), b = 10.270(6), c = 6.885(5) Å, β = 3 90.39(4)°, V = 303.2(2) Å , Z = 4, and possible space groups P2, P21, P2/m, or P21/m.

This paper presents an analysis of the current status of work in this field of material sciences. We have considered inorganic materials characterized by different structures, including simple oxides with fluorite structure, complex oxides (pyrochlore, murataite, zirconolite, perovskite, hollandite, garnet, crichtonite, freudenbergite, and P-pollucite), simple silicates (zircon/thorite/coffinite, titanite (sphen), britholite), framework silicates (zeolite, pollucite, nepheline /leucite, sodalite, cancrinite, micas structures), phosphates (monazite, xenotime, apatite, kosnarite (NZP), langbeinite, thorium phosphate diphosphate, struvite, meta-ankoleite), and aluminates with a magnetoplumbite structure. These materials can contain in their composition various cations in different combinations and ratios: Li–Cs, Tl, Ag, Be–Ba, Pb, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Cd, B, Al, Fe, Ga, Sc, Cr, V, Sb, Nb, Ta, La, Ce, rare-earth elements (REEs), Si, Ti, Zr, Hf, Sn, Bi, Nb, Th, U, Np, Pu, Am and Cm. They can be prepared in the form of powders, including nano-powders, as well as in form of monolith (bulk) ceramics.

  • SIMPLE URANIUM OXIDES, HYDROXIDES U4+ + U6+, SIMPLE and COMPLEX URANYL HYDROXIDES in ORES Andrey A
    New Data on Minerals. 2011. Vol. 46 71 SIMPLE URANIUM OXIDES, HYDROXIDES U4+ + U6+, SIMPLE AND COMPLEX URANYL HYDROXIDES IN ORES Andrey A. Chernikov Fersman Mineralogical Museum, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, [email protected], [email protected] The review of published and new own data of simple uranium oxides revealed that the formation of five simple oxides is probable: nasturan, sooty pitchblende, uraninite, uranothorianite, and cerianite. Among simple oxides, nasturan, sooty pitchblende, and uraninite are the most abundant in ores varied in genesis and mineralogy. Uranothorianite or thorium uraninite (aldanite) is occasional in the ores, while cerianite is believed in U-P deposits of Northern Kazakhstan. Hydrated nasturan is the most abundant among three uranium (IV+VI) hydroxides in uranium ores. Insignificant ianthinite was found in few deposits, whereas cleusonite was indentified only in one deposit. Simple uranyl hydroxides, schoepite, metaschoepite, and paraschoepite, are widespread in the oxidized ores of the near-surface part of the Schinkolobwe deposit. They are less frequent at the deeper levels and other deposits. Studtite and metastudtite are of insignificant industrial importance, but are of great inter- est to establish genesis of mineral assemblages in which they are observed, because they are typical of strongly oxidized conditions of formation of mineral assemblages and ores. The X-ray amorphous urhite associated with hydrated nasturan and the X-ray amorphous hydrated matter containing ferric iron and U6+ described for the first time at the Lastochka deposit, Khabarovsk krai, Russia are sufficiently abundant uranyl hydroxides in the oxidized uranium ores. Significant complex uranyl hydroxides with interlayer K, Na, Ca, Ba, Cu, Pb, and Bi were found basically at a few deposits: Schinkolobwe, Margnac, Wölsendorf, Sernyi, and Tulukuevo, and are less frequent at the other deposits, where quite large monomineralic segregations of nasturan and crystals of uraninite were identified.

Box 3443, Station D, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 6P4, Canada ABSTRACT 5+ 6+ Joëlbruggerite, ideally Pb3Zn3(Sb ,Te )As2O13(OH,O), is a new arsenate mineral (IMA 2008-034) and the Sb5+ analog of dugganite, from the Black Pine mine, 14.5 km northwest of Philipsburg, Granite County, Montana. It is usually found perched on mimetite; other species that may be present include malachite, azurite, pseudomalachite, chalcocite, beudantite-corkite, duftite, dugganite, and kuksite, in milky quartz veins. Joëlbruggerite occurs as barrel-shaped or prismatic crystals up to about 50 µm across in various shades of purple. The crystals have an adamantine luster and a white streak. Mohs hardness is about 3. The fracture is irregular, and the tenacity is brittle. Joëlbruggerite crystals are uniaxial (–), with a calculated refractive index of n = 1.993, and weakly pleochroic: X = Y = gray, Z = purple; absorption: Z > X = Y. Crystals show straight extinction and are length-fast. The empirical chemical formula (mean of 5 electron microprobe analyses) calculated on the basis of 14 [O + OH] 2+ 5+ 6+ anions is Pb3.112(Zn2.689Fe0.185)Σ2.874(Sb0.650Te 0.451)Σ1.101(As1.551P0.203Si0.160)Σ1.914O13.335(OH)0.665.

The glass-ceramic compositions studied included four that crystallised to fluorcanasite, one which crystallised to barium fluorphlogopite and one which crystallised to fluorrichterite. In the fluorcanasite glasses, prior to crystallisation, the fluorine was present solely as an F–Ca(n) species whilst following crystallisation it was also present as an F–Ca(n) species in the fluorcanasite phase and in those glasses containing AlPO4 it was also present as an F–Ca(n) species in fluorapatite. In the fluorrichterite and fluorphlogopite glasses the fluorine was present predominantly as F–Mg(3) and following crystallisation it was also present as F–Mg(3) in the fluorrichterite and fluorphlogopite phases.

Maria 53, 1-56126 Pisa, Italy ABSTRACT Hephaistosite, TIPb2CIs, a newly discovered species of thallium lead chloride, was found in a high-temperature fumarole (~400°C) at the rim of La Fossa crater, Vulcano Island, Aeolian archipelago, Sicily, Italy. The mineral occurs as aggregates of pale yellow-green crystals tabular on {01O} up to 0.1 mm in length on fragments of altered pyroclastic breccia, in association with bismuthinite (Bi2S3), cotunnite (PbCh), challacolloite (KPb2CIs) and pseudocotunnite (K2PbCI4). The mineral is mono- clinic, space group P21/e. Cell parameters refined from powder-diffraction data are: a 8.9477(6), b 7.9218(7), e 12.4955(5) A, 13 90.092(4t, V 885.70(7) A3, with Z = 4. The strongest six reflections in the X-ray powder-diffraction data [d (in A)(l)(hkl)] are: 3.696(100)(013),3.971(83)(020), 2.109(45)(402,215), 2.569(42)(204),1.848(41)(142,026), and 2.851(38)(213). Crystals of hephaistosite show the forms {01O}, {101}, {110}, {100}, {001}, and {011}.

  • Investigating the Validity of the ISO 6872:2015 'Dentistry
    Investigating the Validity of the ISO 6872:2015 ‘Dentistry - Ceramic Materials’ for Chemical Solubility By: Rayan Hawsawi A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Academic Unit of Restorative Dentistry School of Clinical Dentistry The University of Sheffield December 2018 Summary Most research regarding dental ceramics focuses on the mechanical, physical and optical properties. These properties are important; however, the chemical durability of dental ceramics is also significant. The oral cavity is a complex environment, ‘in vitro’ studies have not succeeded in replicating the solubility measurements of dental ceramics perfectly. The International Organization for Standardisation has published revised chemical solubility testing methods for dental ceramics ISO 6872. These methods failed to improve the reproducibility of the chemical solubility findings (Stokes et al., 2002), which led many researchers to develop alternative methods. Nevertheless, these ISO methods have received limited criticism in the literature. Therefore, the aim of this research was to investigate the validity of the ISO 6872 (BS ISO, 2015) ‘Dentistry: Ceramic materials’ for chemical solubility, and if required design a superior method. The current standard ISO 6872 (BS ISO, 2015) specifies the total surface area of the test specimens only. Therefore, the research hypothesis is that any alteration of the specimens’ geometry will affect the chemical solubility value of the same material. II The initial findings showed that chemical solubility can be manipulated by altering the geometry of individual test specimens whilst still complying with the current standard. Characterisation tests such as SEM, EDS, XRD, ICP and Vickers hardness were performed to investigate the effects of the test environment on the specimens.
