  • Metamorphism of Sedimentary Manganese Deposits
    Acta Mineralogica-Petrographica, Szeged, XX/2, 325—336, 1972. METAMORPHISM OF SEDIMENTARY MANGANESE DEPOSITS SUPRIYA ROY ABSTRACT: Metamorphosed sedimentary deposits of manganese occur extensively in India, Brazil, U. S. A., Australia, New Zealand, U. S. S. R., West and South West Africa, Madagascar and Japan. Different mineral-assemblages have been recorded from these deposits which may be classi- fied into oxide, carbonate, silicate and silicate-carbonate formations. The oxide formations are represented by lower oxides (braunite, bixbyite, hollandite, hausmannite, jacobsite, vredenburgite •etc.), the carbonate formations by rhodochrosite, kutnahorite, manganoan calcite etc., the silicate formations by spessartite, rhodonite, manganiferous amphiboles and pyroxenes, manganophyllite, piedmontite etc. and the silicate-carbonate formations by rhodochrosite, rhodonite, tephroite, spessartite etc. Pétrographie and phase-equilibia data indicate that the original bulk composition in the sediments, the reactions during metamorphism (contact and regional and the variations and effect of 02, C02, etc. with rise of temperature, control the mineralogy of the metamorphosed manga- nese formations. The general trend of formation and transformation of mineral phases in oxide, carbonate, silicate and silicate-carbonate formations during regional and contact metamorphism has, thus, been established. Sedimentary manganese formations, later modified by regional or contact metamorphism, have been reported from different parts of the world. The most important among such deposits occur in India, Brazil, U.S.A., U.S.S.R., Ghana, South and South West Africa, Madagascar, Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, Japan etc. An attempt will be made to summarize the pertinent data on these metamorphosed sedimentary formations so as to establish the role of original bulk composition of the sediments, transformation and reaction of phases at ele- vated temperature and varying oxygen and carbon dioxide fugacities in determin- ing the mineral assemblages in these deposits.

  • Structure and Composition OXIDATION ZONE
    OXIDATION ZONE Structure and Composition The first scanty information on the oxidation zone of the Rubtsovskoe deposit was obtained as a result of drilling in the early 1970s. Three major subzones were distinguished downward: (1) a leached oxidized ore zone largely composed of iron hydroxides and kaolinite; (2) a secondary oxide enrichment subzone with cuprite, native copper, malachite, azurite, cerus - site; and (3) a secondary sulfide enrichment subzone (that transitions to an underlying zone of mixed ores) with chalcocite and covellite (Stroitelev et al. , 1996). As a result of our observation in underground workings, the structure, min - eralogy, and genetic features of the oxidation zone of the deposit were spec - ified substantially. The top of the orebody is supergene altered to the highest degree at the WSW flank, where it is located higher in altitude. The upper boundary of the orebody gently plunges ENE and the oxidation zone (we do not discuss the mixed ores) gradually pinches out; the oxidation zone extends along the strike of the orebody for approximately 300 m. In the WSW part of the ore - body, the oxidized ores occur in the altitude interval from +137–138 to +163 m. The lower boundary of the oxidized ores rise toward the ESE and the main part of the oxidation zone occurs in the range of +144–145 to +153–157 m. The oxidized part of the orebody varies from 2 to 8 m in thickness, reaching 15–17 m in swells and occasionally more than 20 m. Both underlying and overlapping rocks are dominated by clayey minerals; these are wall-rock argillaceous alterations, frequently altered as a result of ore oxidation especially adjacent to the contact of the orebody.

  • 1 Revision 1 Single-Crystal Elastic Properties of Minerals and Related
    Revision 1 Single-Crystal Elastic Properties of Minerals and Related Materials with Cubic Symmetry Thomas S. Duffy Department of Geosciences Princeton University Abstract The single-crystal elastic moduli of minerals and related materials with cubic symmetry have been collected and evaluated. The compiled dataset covers measurements made over an approximately seventy year period and consists of 206 compositions. More than 80% of the database is comprised of silicates, oxides, and halides, and approximately 90% of the entries correspond to one of six crystal structures (garnet, rocksalt, spinel, perovskite, sphalerite, and fluorite). Primary data recorded are the composition of each material, its crystal structure, density, and the three independent nonzero adiabatic elastic moduli (C11, C12, and C44). From these, a variety of additional elastic and acoustic properties are calculated and compiled, including polycrystalline aggregate elastic properties, sound velocities, and anisotropy factors. The database is used to evaluate trends in cubic mineral elasticity through consideration of normalized elastic moduli (Blackman diagrams) and the Cauchy pressure. The elastic anisotropy and auxetic behavior of these materials are also examined. Compilations of single-crystal elastic moduli provide a useful tool for investigation structure-property relationships of minerals. 1 Introduction The elastic moduli are among the most fundamental and important properties of minerals (Anderson et al. 1968). They are central to understanding mechanical behavior and have applications across many disciplines of the geosciences. They control the stress-strain relationship under elastic loading and are relevant to understanding strength, hardness, brittle/ductile behavior, damage tolerance, and mechanical stability. Elastic moduli govern the propagation of elastic waves and hence are essential to the interpretation of seismic data, including seismic anisotropy in the crust and mantle (Bass et al.

  • The Albert Silver Mine and Trippkeite Occurrence, Mpumalanga, South Africa
    The Albert silver mine and trippkeite occurrence, Mpumalanga, South Africa Paul M.P.B. Meulenbeld, Department of Water Affairs PO Box 1675 Bronkhorstspruit South Africa, [email protected]. Wiebke Grote, Department of Geology University of Pretoria, Private bag X20 Hatfield, Pretoria 0028, [email protected] Sabine Verryn, XRD Analytical & Consulting, Pretoria, 75 Kafue street Lynnwood Glen, 0081, [email protected] Dr. Paul M.P.B. Meulenbeld is a scientific manager with the Department of Water Affairs, a trained geophysicist and mineral collector. He has a sound knowledge about southern Africa’s mineral deposits and visits abandoned mines in his spare time. One of his last remarkable discoveries was the occurrence of chapmanite at the old Argent silver and lead deposit, Delmas, Mpumalanga, South Africa. Wiebke Grote is responsible for XRD analysis at the Department of Geology, University of Pretoria where prior to this position she was the curator of the geological museum at the same institution. Dr. Sabine Verryn is the owner of XRD Analytical & Consulting. She is the current Vice chair of the Mineralogical Association of South Africa. INTRODUCTION Around 1885 the ore deposit of the Albert Silver mine was discovered and production continued intermittently until 1914 (Robb, Robb, and Walraven 1994). The Albert Silver mine is situated on the farm Roodepoortjie 250JR, north of Bronkhorstspruit, some 80 km east-northeast of Pretoria in Mpumalanga, South Africa (Figure 1) (Robb, Robb, and Walraven 1994). No detailed description of the mine is known to have been published, but a layout plan and a plan indicating the extent of the underground workings (Figure 2), amongst a surface geophysical study of the ore bodies was given by Van Zijl (1965).

  • STRONG and WEAK INTERLAYER INTERACTIONS of TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS and THEIR ASSEMBLIES Tyler William Farnsworth a Dissertati
    STRONG AND WEAK INTERLAYER INTERACTIONS OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL MATERIALS AND THEIR ASSEMBLIES Tyler William Farnsworth A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Chemistry. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Scott C. Warren James F. Cahoon Wei You Joanna M. Atkin Matthew K. Brennaman © 2018 Tyler William Farnsworth ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Tyler William Farnsworth: Strong and weak interlayer interactions of two-dimensional materials and their assemblies (Under the direction of Scott C. Warren) The ability to control the properties of a macroscopic material through systematic modification of its component parts is a central theme in materials science. This concept is exemplified by the assembly of quantum dots into 3D solids, but the application of similar design principles to other quantum-confined systems, namely 2D materials, remains largely unexplored. Here I demonstrate that solution-processed 2D semiconductors retain their quantum-confined properties even when assembled into electrically conductive, thick films. Structural investigations show how this behavior is caused by turbostratic disorder and interlayer adsorbates, which weaken interlayer interactions and allow access to a quantum- confined but electronically coupled state. I generalize these findings to use a variety of 2D building blocks to create electrically conductive 3D solids with virtually any band gap. I next introduce a strategy for discovering new 2D materials. Previous efforts to identify novel 2D materials were limited to van der Waals layered materials, but I demonstrate that layered crystals with strong interlayer interactions can be exfoliated into few-layer or monolayer materials.

  • A Specific Gravity Index for Minerats
    A SPECIFICGRAVITY INDEX FOR MINERATS c. A. MURSKyI ern R. M. THOMPSON, Un'fuersityof Bri.ti,sh Col,umb,in,Voncouver, Canad,a This work was undertaken in order to provide a practical, and as far as possible,a complete list of specific gravities of minerals. An accurate speciflc cravity determination can usually be made quickly and this information when combined with other physical properties commonly leads to rapid mineral identification. Early complete but now outdated specific gravity lists are those of Miers given in his mineralogy textbook (1902),and Spencer(M,i,n. Mag.,2!, pp. 382-865,I}ZZ). A more recent list by Hurlbut (Dana's Manuatr of M,i,neral,ogy,LgE2) is incomplete and others are limited to rock forming minerals,Trdger (Tabel,l,enntr-optischen Best'i,mmungd,er geste,i,nsb.ildend,en M,ineral,e, 1952) and Morey (Encycto- ped,iaof Cherni,cal,Technol,ogy, Vol. 12, 19b4). In his mineral identification tables, smith (rd,entifi,cati,onand. qual,itatioe cherai,cal,anal,ys'i,s of mineral,s,second edition, New york, 19bB) groups minerals on the basis of specificgravity but in each of the twelve groups the minerals are listed in order of decreasinghardness. The present work should not be regarded as an index of all known minerals as the specificgravities of many minerals are unknown or known only approximately and are omitted from the current list. The list, in order of increasing specific gravity, includes all minerals without regard to other physical properties or to chemical composition. The designation I or II after the name indicates that the mineral falls in the classesof minerals describedin Dana Systemof M'ineralogyEdition 7, volume I (Native elements, sulphides, oxides, etc.) or II (Halides, carbonates, etc.) (L944 and 1951).

  • A RARE Fe-Mn PYROXENOID from GARBHAM, VIZIANAGARAM MANGANESE BELT, ANDHRA PRADESH
    JOURNAL GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF INDIA Vol. 26, June 1985, pp. 429 to 431 PYROXFERROITE -: A RARE Fe-Mn PYROXENOID FROM GARBHAM, VIZIANAGARAM MANGANESE BELT, ANDHRA PRADESH SAMIT BHATTACHARYYA OME & MG Wins, Geological Survey of fndia, 85, Prince Anwar Shah Road, Calcutta 700033 Abstract pyroxferroite, (Fe, Mn, Ca) Si03 , the rare manganiferous pyroxenoid, has been identified in manganese silicate - carbonate rock from the Vizianagaram manganese belt, Andhra Pradesh. Optical data and chemistry of the mineral have been presented and is compared to other occurrences. Introduction Manganese silicate-carbonate rock (queluzite), a product of regional metamor­ phism of impure manganiferous sediment, has been recorded in the Vizianagaram manganese belt, Eastern Ghats, Andhra Pradesh (Krishna Rao et afl98 1). These rocks occur as conformable bands in close proximity to the manganese ore bodies .and other associated Htho-units like quartzite, calc-silicate rock and khondalite. A rare manganese pyroxenoid, pyroxferroite, has been identified in the manga­ nese silicate-carbonate rock from the Garbham (18°22': 83°27') area of the Mn­ belt. This mineral is present in a Very low proportion (about 1%) in the rock and its characteristics are described in this note. Petrography and Mineralogy The manganese silicate-carbonate rock is constituted essentially of knebelite, Mn-ferrosalite, rhodonite and bustamite with accessories including rhodochrosite. 'The rock is medium to coarse grained showing granoblastic texture with equant polygonal grains having Y-shaped mutual grain boundaries. Pyroxferroite appears ·colourless to pale yellowish with one set of prismatic cleavage having idioblastic ..grain habit. The extinction angle w.r.t. prismatic cleavage is variable between c 5° and 20 • Optic axial angle (2Vz) is moderately low (30° - 40°) and opticalIy .always positive.
