  • Fluid and Solid Inclusions in Host Minerals of Permian Pegmatites from Koralpe (Austria): Deciphering the Permian Fluid Evolution During Pegmatite Formation
    minerals Article Fluid and Solid Inclusions in Host Minerals of Permian Pegmatites from Koralpe (Austria): Deciphering the Permian Fluid Evolution during Pegmatite Formation Kurt Krenn *, Martina Husar and Anna Mikulics NAWI Graz Geocenter, Institute of Earth Sciences, University of Graz, 8010 Graz, Austria; [email protected] (M.H.); [email protected] (A.M.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Fluid inclusions (FIs) and associated solids in host minerals garnet, tourmaline, spodumene, and quartz from six pegmatite fields of Permian origin at Koralpe (Eastern Alps) have been investi- gated. Although pegmatites suffered intense Eoalpine high-pressure metamorphic overprint during the Cretaceous period, the studied samples originate from rock sections with well-preserved Permian magmatic textures. Magmatic low-saline aqueous FIs in garnet domains entrapped as part of an unmixed fluid together with primary N2-bearing FIs that originate from a host rock-derived CO2-N2 dominated high-grade metamorphic fluid. This CO2-N2 fluid is entrapped as primary FIs in garnet, tourmaline, and quartz. During host mineral crystallization, fluid mixing between the magmatic and the metamorphic fluid at the solvus formed CO2-N2-H2O–rich FIs of various compositional degrees Citation: Krenn, K.; Husar, M.; that are preserved as pseudo-secondary inclusions in tourmaline, quartz, and as primary inclusions Mikulics, A.

  • Pegmatite Genesis: State of the Art
    Eur. J. Mineral. 2008, 20, 421–438 Published online August 2008 Paper presented at the symposium “Granitic Pagmatites: the State of the Art”, Porto, May 2007 Pegmatite genesis: state of the art Wm. B. “Skip” SIMMONS* and Karen L. WEBBER Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of New Orleans, New Orleans, LA 70148, USA *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: No one universally accepted model of pegmatite genesis has yet emerged that satisfactorily explains all the diverse features of granitic pegmatites. Genesis from residual melts derived from the crystallization of granitic plutons is favoured by most researchers. Incompatible components, fluxes, volatiles and rare elements, are enriched in the residual melts. The presence of fluxes and volatiles, which lower the crystallization temperature, decrease nucleation rates, melt polymerization and viscosity, and increase diffusion rates and solubility, are considered to be critical to the development of large crystals. A number of new concepts have shed light on problems related to pegmatite genesis. Cooling rates calculated from thermal cooling models demonstrate that shallow-level pegmatites cool radically more rapidly than previously believed. Rapid cooling rates for pegmatites represent a quantum shift from the widely held view that the large crystals found in pegmatites are the result of very slow rates of cooling and crystal growth. Experimental and field evidence both suggest that undercooling and disequilibrium crystallization dominate pegmatite crys- tallization. London’s constitutional zone refining model of pegmatite evolution involves disequilibrium crystallization from an undercooled, flux-bearing granitic melt. The melt is not necessarily flux–rich and the model does not require the presence of an aqueous vapor phase.

VU, TEREZA BELKOVÁ, PETR DVOŘÁK, JÁN KONDÁS Department of Metals and Corrosion Engineering, Institute of Chemical Technology Prague, Technická 5, 166 28 Prague, Czech Republic E-mail: [email protected] Submitted November 27, 2008; accepted February 19, 2009 Keywords: Zinnwaldite; Gypsum method; H2O leaching; Li2CO3 A zinnwaldite concentrate with 1.40% Li processed in this study was prepared from zinnwaldite wastes (0.21% Li) using dry magnetic and grain size separations. Zinnwaldite wastes originated from dressing Sn–W ores, which were mined in the past in the Czech Republic in Cínovec area. The extraction process of lithium, so-called gypsum method consisted of sintering the concentrate with CaSO4 and Ca(OH)2, subsequent leaching of the sinters obtained in H2O, solution purification and precipitation of Li2CO3. It was observed that almost 96% lithium extraction was achieved if sinters prepared at 950°C were leached at 90°C, liquid-to-solid ratio = 10:1, reaction time of 10 min. The weight ratio of the concentrate to CaSO4 to Ca(OH)2 was 6 : 4.2 : 2. Lithium carbonate product containing almost 99% Li2CO3 was separated from the condensed leach liquor, from which calcium was removed by carbonate precipitation.

  • MINERALS AS a SOURCE of NOVEL Li-ION BATTERY ELECTRODE MATERIALS

We exemplify this by indicating the innovative use of polyanions in novel Li-ion battery cathode materials such as the olivine lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), and in an even newer material – the orthosilicate lithium iron silicate (Li2FeSiO4). Both materials have strong intrinsic links to mineralogy – and illustrate well how mineralogy can lead to new material breakthroughs in this and other areas of modern technology. Keywords: minerals; Li-ion battery; electrodes; cathodes МИНЕРАЛИТЕ КАКО ИЗВОР НА НОВИ МАТЕРИЈАЛИ ЗА ЕЛЕКТРОДИ НА ЛИТИУМСКИТЕ БАТЕРИИ Во чест на големиот придонес направен од страна на академик Глигор Јовановски на полето на минералогијата во Македонија, овој труд ја промовира потенцијалната улога што можат да ја имаат минералите како инспирација за идентификување нови материјали како извори за одржливо складирање на енергија воопшто, и особено за развој на литиумските батерии.

It focuses on the production of lithium compounds from spodumene minerals. Spodumene is one of the most critical minerals nowadays, due to its high lithium content and high rate of extraction. Lithium is one of the most sought-after metals, due to the ever-growing demand for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs). The data on lithium extraction from minerals is scattered through years of patents, journal articles, and proceedings; hence, requiring an in-depth review, including the comprehension of the spodumene phase system, the phase conversion processes, and the lithium extraction processes. Keywords: lithium review; spodumene processes; thermodynamic of spodumene; lithium extraction 1. Introduction Lithium is the third element of the periodic table. It is the lightest of all solid elements (d = 0.53 g cm 3 at 20 C), has the highest specific heat capacity, the smallest ionic radius of all · − ◦ the alkali metals, and a high electrochemical potential [1].

  • Beneficiation of Zimbabwean Petalite: Extraction, Purification and Compound Synthesis
    BENEFICIATION OF ZIMBABWEAN PETALITE: EXTRACTION, PURIFICATION AND COMPOUND SYNTHESIS By Onias Sitando A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MSc: Applied Science (Chemical Technology) Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology Supervisor: Prof. Philip Crouse University of Pretoria February, 2012 © University of Pretoria DECLARATION I, Onias Sitando, student No. 29684995, do hereby declare that this research is my original work and that to the best of my knowledge and belief, it has not been previously in its entirety or in part been submitted and is not currently being submitted either in whole or in part at any university for a degree or diploma, and that all references are acknowledged. SIGNED on this day of 2012. Onias Sitando i SYNOPSIS BENEFICIATION OF ZIMBABWEAN PETALITE: EXTRACTION, PURIFICATION AND COMPOUND SYNTHESIS Author: Onias Sitando Supervisor: Prof. Philip Crouse Department: Chemical Engineering Degree: MSc: Applied Science (Chemical Technology) Lithium is one of the most strategically important minerals at the time of writing. The demand for lithium and lithium compounds to be used in lithium-ion batteries is increasing day by day. Zimbabwe possesses a considerable resource of lithium ore, estimated at 23 000 mt Li. Beneficiation of this lithium ore could indeed be a very promising business in the near future. This work focuses on processing of petalite concentrate from the Bikita deposit in Zimbabwe for production of Li 2CO 3, with subsequent preparation of LiF and LiCl. Analysis performed on the petalite showed that the average Li 2O content is 4.10 %. The extraction method used involves roasting the pre-heated concentrate with concentrated H 2SO 4 followed by water leaching of the resulting Li 2SO 4, solution purification and precipitation of Li 2CO 3 with subsequent preparation of LiF and LiCl.
