It has been estimated that there are 2 grams of arsenic and 0.2 grams 25 of antimony in every tonne of crustal rocks [1]. Many arsenic-bearing minerals associated with 26 sulphides have been identified, such as arsenopyrite FeAsS, orpiment As2S3, and realgar α- 27 As4S4. When these ores are oxidised, As2O3 is obtained as a by-product. Antimony also 28 occurs with sulphur, Sb2S3 being the principal source. Many oxides have also been identified; 3+ 5+ 29 valentinite Sb2O3 and cervantite Sb Sb O4.

  • Authority Review for the Former Staten Island Warehouse

Hoch (w/o) Mr. Arthur Whitman F. Newman (w/o) Division of Remedial Action Projects, NE-24 R. Johnson (w/o) U.S. Department of Energy Germantown, Maryland 20545 Dear Mr. Whitman: AUTHORITY REVIEW FOR THE FORMER STATEN ISLAND WAREHOUSE Aerospace has completed the analysis of the available documentation related to the former Staten Island Warehouse. The attachment is sub- mitted for your review to determine whether DOE has authority to pursue remedial action at the site under FUSRAP. As indicated in the summary of the attached analysis, it would appear that, except for export controls imposed by the State Department, the ore stored in the former Staten Island Warehouse was not under the control of the U.S. Government. The Manhattan District only purchased a portion of the U308 content of the ore, while African Metals Corpora- tion retained ownership of the radium and other precious metals that remained in the ore after processing. Further, the U.S. Government did not take custody of the ore until delivered by lighter free alongside ship to the Lehigh Valley Railroad at the Dean Mill Plant of the Archer- Daniels-Midland Company. As a result, it does not appear that DOE has authority under the Atomic Energy Act to take remedial actions, if needed, at this site. Based upon your review and final authority determination, Aerospace will prepare an elimination package to document the status of the site as it is turned over to the EPA for remedial action.

  • Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Microbiology of Cobalt in Mining-Affected Environments
    minerals Article Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Microbiology of Cobalt in Mining-Affected Environments Gabriel Ziwa 1,2,*, Rich Crane 1,2 and Karen A. Hudson-Edwards 1,2 1 Environment and Sustainability Institute, University of Exeter, Penryn TR10 9FE, UK; [email protected] (R.C.); [email protected] (K.A.H.-E.) 2 Camborne School of Mines, University of Exeter, Penryn TR10 9FE, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Cobalt is recognised by the European Commission as a “Critical Raw Material” due to its irreplaceable functionality in many types of modern technology, combined with its current high-risk status associated with its supply. Despite such importance, there remain major knowledge gaps with regard to the geochemistry, mineralogy, and microbiology of cobalt-bearing environments, particu- larly those associated with ore deposits and subsequent mining operations. In such environments, high concentrations of Co (up to 34,400 mg/L in mine water, 14,165 mg/kg in tailings, 21,134 mg/kg in soils, and 18,434 mg/kg in stream sediments) have been documented. Co is contained in ore and mine waste in a wide variety of primary (e.g., cobaltite, carrolite, and erythrite) and secondary (e.g., erythrite, heterogenite) minerals. When exposed to low pH conditions, a number of such minerals are 2+ known to undergo dissolution, typically forming Co (aq). At circumneutral pH, such aqueous Co can then become immobilised by co-precipitation and/or sorption onto Fe and Mn(oxyhydr)oxides. This paper brings together contemporary knowledge on such Co cycling across different mining environments.

  • Refinement of the Crystal Structure of Ushkovite from Nevados De Palermo, República Argentina
    929 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 40, pp. 929-937 (2002) REFINEMENT OF THE CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF USHKOVITE FROM NEVADOS DE PALERMO, REPÚBLICA ARGENTINA MIGUEL A. GALLISKI§ AND FRANK C. HAWTHORNE¶ Department of Geological Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2, Canada ABSTRACT The crystal structure of ushkovite, triclinic, a 5.3468(4), b 10.592(1), c 7.2251(7) Å, ␣ 108.278(7), ␤ 111.739(7), ␥ 71.626(7)°, V 351.55(6) Å3, Z = 2, space group P¯1, has been refined to an R index of 2.3% for 1781 observed reflections measured with MoK␣ X-radiation. The crystal used to collect the X-ray-diffraction data was subsequently analyzed with an electron microprobe, 2+ 3+ to give the formula (Mg0.97 Mn 0.01) (H2O)4 [(Fe 1.99 Al0.03) (PO4) (OH) (H2O)2]2 (H2O)2, with the (OH) and (H2O) groups assigned from bond-valence analysis of the refined structure. Ushkovite is isostructural with laueite. Chains of corner-sharing 3+ 3+ {Fe O2 (OH)2 (H2O)2} octahedra extend along the c axis and are decorated by (PO4) tetrahedra to form [Fe 2 O4 (PO4)2 (OH)2 3+ (H2O)2] chains. These chains link via sharing between octahedron and tetrahedron corners to form slabs of composition [Fe 2 (PO4)2 (OH)2 (H2O)2] that are linked by {Mg O2 (H2O)4} octahedra. Keywords: ushkovite, crystal-structure refinement, electron-microprobe analysis. SOMMAIRE Nous avons affiné la structure cristaline de l’ushkovite, triclinique, a 5.3468(4), b 10.592(1), c 7.2251(7) Å, ␣ 108.278(7), ␤ 111.739(7), ␥ 71.626(7)°, V 351.55(6) Å3, Z = 2, groupe spatial P¯1, jusqu’à un résidu R de 2.3% en utilisant 1781 réflexions observées mesurées avec rayonnement MoK␣.

  • CSU Nominiert Kreistagsliste
    Kreisverband Nürnberger Land Artikel vom 16.10.2019 CSU Nürnberger Land Eine tolle Mischung aus erfahrenen Kommunalpolitikern und neuen Kandidaten Cornelia Trinkl (vorne, Bildmitte) führt die Liste der CSU an. Die Röthenbacherin will Landrätin werden. Außerdem möchten die Christsozialen wieder stärkste Fraktion im Kreistag werden. 19 Frauen und 51 Männer kandidieren bei der Wahl im Frühjahr 2020 Mit großer Geschlossenheit hat der CSU-Kreisverband Nürnberger Land die Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten für die Kreistagswahlen am 15. März 2020 nominiert. „Die CSU im Nürnberger Land präsentiert mit dieser Liste ein starkes Team und ein tolles Angebot für die Kreistagswahl“ so CSU-Kreisvorsitzender und Landtagsabgeordneter Norbert Dünkel. „Vom Landwirt bis zur Abgeordneten, von der Pflegefachfrau bis zum Bankkaufmann bietet die CSU mit dieser Mannschaft ein breites Spektrum an Kandidaten mit viel Erfahrung und breitem Engagement bei Feuerwehr, Sanitätsdiensten, THW, Sozialverbänden, Sport und Kultur.“ Die Kandidatin für das Amt der Landrätin Cornelia Trinkl freut sich ebenfalls über das Ihr zur Seite gestellte Team: „Eine tolle Mischung aus erfahrenen Kommunalpolitikern und neuen Kandidaten, die sich aus allen Städten und Gemeinden im Landkreis Nürnberger Land einbringen ist ein großer Gewinn.“ Als Ziel formulierte sie klar, dass die CSU auch nach der Kommunalwahl 2020 wieder die stärkste Fraktion im Kreistag stellen wolle und weiter konstruktiv für die Menschen im Nürnberger Land arbeiten möchte, da auch in Zukunft viele Herausforderungen auf die Kreispolitik zukommen. „Im Dreiklang von Innovation, Nachhaltigkeit und Stabilität wollen wir auch zukünftig Ansprechpartner und Impulsgeber sein, zuhören, zusammenarbeiten und zupacken für das Nürnberger Land!“ so die Vorsitzende der CSU-Kreistagsfraktion Cornelia Trinkl.
