  • Crystal Structure of Hillebrandite: a Natural Analogue of Calcium Silicate Hydrate (CSH) Phases in Portland Cement

    American Mineralogist, Volume 80, pages 841-844, 1995 Crystal structure of hillebrandite: A natural analogue of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) phases in Portland cement YONGSHAN DAI Garber Research Center, Harbison-Walker Refractories, 1001 Pittsburgh-McKeesport Boulevard, West Miffilin, Pennsylvania 15122, U.S.A. JEFFREY E. POST Departmentof MineralSciences,SmithsonianInstitution,Washington,DC 20560,U.S.A. ABSTRACT The crystal structure of hillebrandite, Ca2Si03(OH)2, was solved and refined in space group Cmc21, a = 3.6389, b = 16.311, c = 11.829 A, to R = 0.041 using single-crystal X-ray data. The structure consists of a three-dimensional network of Ca-O polyhedra that accommodates wollastonite-type Si-O tetrahedral chains. Each of the wollastonite-type chains is an average of two symmetrically equivalent chains related by the mirror plane perpen- dicular to a. In a given structural channel of the Ca-O polyhedral network, only one chain orientation can be occupied to give reasonable Si-O distances. The 03 and 04 sites cor- responding to each vacant Si2 site are occupied by OH groups to achieve charge balance. The wollastonite-type Si-O tetrahedral chains in the hillebrandite structure resemble those reported for many calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) phases. INTRODUCTION brandite and comment upon the structural relationships Hillebrandite, Ca2Si03(OH)2, is one natural member of hillebrandite with other CSH phases. of the CaO-Si02-H20 ternary system, which includes nu- merous natural and synthetic calcium silicate hydrate EXPERIMENTAL METHODS (CSH) phases, most with a common unit-cell axis of about After an exhaustive examination of many hillebrandite 3.64 or 2 x 3.64 A and a fibrous crystal habit along this samples, a fragment ofa specimen (NMNH 95767-7) from axis.

    MINERALS SORTED BY NAME Here is an alphabetical list of minerals discussed on this site. More information on and photographs of these minerals in Kentucky is available in the book “Rocks and Minerals of Kentucky” (Anderson, 1994). APATITE Crystal system: hexagonal. Fracture: conchoidal. Color: red, brown, white. Hardness: 5.0. Luster: opaque or semitransparent. Specific gravity: 3.1. Apatite, also called cellophane, occurs in peridotites in eastern and western Kentucky. A microcrystalline variety of collophane found in northern Woodford County is dark reddish brown, porous, and occurs in phosphatic beds, lenses, and nodules in the Tanglewood Member of the Lexington Limestone. Some fossils in the Tanglewood Member are coated with phosphate. Beds are generally very thin, but occasionally several feet thick. The Woodford County phosphate beds were mined during the early 1900s near Wallace, Ky. BARITE Crystal system: orthorhombic. Cleavage: often in groups of platy or tabular crystals. Color: usually white, but may be light shades of blue, brown, yellow, or red. Hardness: 3.0 to 3.5. Streak: white. Luster: vitreous to pearly. Specific gravity: 4.5. Tenacity: brittle. Uses: in heavy muds in oil-well drilling, to increase brilliance in the glass-making industry, as filler for paper, cosmetics, textiles, linoleum, rubber goods, paints. Barite generally occurs in a white massive variety (often appearing earthy when weathered), although some clear to bluish, bladed barite crystals have been observed in several vein deposits in central Kentucky, and commonly occurs as a solid solution series with celestite where barium and strontium can substitute for each other. Various nodular zones have been observed in Silurian–Devonian rocks in east-central Kentucky.

Both normal and sector-zoned crystals occur. Babing- tonite crystals with sector zoning consist of sectors relatively enriched in Fe and of sectors enriched in Mg, Mn, and Al. Babingtonite also shows compositional zoning with higher Fe2+ and Al core and higher Fe3+ and Mn 2+ rim. The average Fe content of the babingtonite without sector zoning is similar to the Fe -rich sector of the sector-zoned babingtonite. The chemical formula based on the average composition of all analytical data (n = 2+ 3+ - 193) is [Na0.01(2)Ca2.01(2)] [Mg0.11(4)Mn0.09(3)Fe0.76(7)Fe_ 0.93(5)Ti0.01(1)Al0.06(5)]Si5.01(4)O14(OH). X ray Rietveld refinement was carried out using a model of space group P1.

    Geochemical Modeling of Iron and Aluminum Precipitation During Mixing and Neutralization of Acid Mine Drainage

    minerals Article Geochemical Modeling of Iron and Aluminum Precipitation during Mixing and Neutralization of Acid Mine Drainage Darrell Kirk Nordstrom U.S. Geological Survey, Boulder, CO 80303, USA; [email protected] Received: 21 May 2020; Accepted: 14 June 2020; Published: 17 June 2020 Abstract: Geochemical modeling of precipitation reactions in the complex matrix of acid mine drainage is fundamental to understanding natural attenuation, lime treatment, and treatment procedures that separate constituents for potential reuse or recycling. The three main dissolved constituents in acid mine drainage are iron, aluminum, and sulfate. During the neutralization of acid mine drainage (AMD) by mixing with clean tributaries or by titration with a base such as sodium hydroxide or slaked lime, Ca(OH)2, iron precipitates at pH values of 2–3 if oxidized and aluminum precipitates at pH values of 4–5 and both processes buffer the pH during precipitation. Mixing processes were simulated using the ion-association model in the PHREEQC code. The results are sensitive to the solubility product constant (Ksp) used for the precipitating phases. A field example with data on discharge and water composition of AMD before and after mixing along with massive precipitation of an aluminum phase is simulated and shows that there is an optimal Ksp to give the best fit to the measured data. Best fit is defined when the predicted water composition after mixing and precipitation matches most closely the measured water chemistry. Slight adjustment to the proportion of stream discharges does not give a better fit. Keywords: geochemical modeling; acid mine drainage; iron and aluminum precipitation; schwertmannite; basaluminite 1.

E·28040 Madrid, Spain Abstract The crystallization process of soluble salts inside the natural and artificial porous materials partially immersed in different saline solutions has been studied, This procedure is used to simulate the conditions of exposure to salt weathering in which foundations and lower walls of building structures are within the zone of capillary rise of saline ground water. Crystallization pressures that can develop in the samples, which are a function of the pore size and salt-solution interfacial tension, have been calculated and are compared with experimental values of the materials tensile strength. since both these parameters allow the prediction of porous materials behaviour against salt weathering.

    Llallagua Tin Ore Deposit (Bolivia)

    resources Article Speculations Linking Monazite Compositions to Origin: Llallagua Tin Ore Deposit (Bolivia) Elizabeth J. Catlos * and Nathan R. Miller Department of Geological Sciences, Jackson School of Geosciences, The University of Texas at Austin, 1 University Sta. C9000, EPS 1.130, Austin, TX 78712, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-512-471-4762 Received: 3 May 2017; Accepted: 25 July 2017; Published: 29 July 2017 Abstract: Monazite [(Ce,Th)PO4] from the Llallagua tin ore deposit in Bolivia is characterized by low radiogenic element contents. Previously reported field evidence and mineral associations suggest the mineral formed via direct precipitation from hydrothermal fluids. Monazite compositions thus may provide insight into characteristics of the fluids from which it formed. Chemical compositions of three Llallagua monazite grains were obtained using Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA, n = 64) and laser ablation mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS, n = 56). The mineral has higher amounts of U (123 ± 17 ppm) than Th (39 ± 20 ppm) (LA-ICP-MS, ±1σ). Grains have the highest amounts of fluorine ever reported for monazite (0.88 ± 0.10 wt %, EPMA, ±1σ), and F-rich fluids are effective mobilizers of rare earth elements (REEs), Y, and Th. The monazite has high Eu contents and positive Eu anomalies, consistent with formation in a highly-reducing back-arc environment. We speculate that F, Ca, Si and REE may have been supplied via dissolution of pre-existing fluorapatite. Llallagua monazite oscillatory zoning is controlled by an interplay of low (P + Ca + Si + Y) and high atomic number (REE) elements.
