This is the initial paper in a pair of articles devoted to silicate minerals from fumaroles of the Tol- bachik volcano (Kamchatka, Russia). These papers contain the first systematic data on silicate mineralization of fumarolic genesis. In this article nesosilicates (forsterite, andradite and titanite), cyclosilicate (a Cu,Zn- rich analogue of roedderite), inosilicates (enstatite, clinoenstatite, diopside, aegirine, aegirine-augite, esseneite, “Cu,Mg-pyroxene”, wollastonite, potassic-fluoro-magnesio-arfvedsonite, potassic-fluoro-richterite and litidion- ite) and phyllosilicates (fluorophlogopite, yanzhuminite, “fluoreastonite” and the Sn analogue of dalyite) are characterized with a focus on chemistry, crystal-chemical features and occurrence.

  • Vistore™ Copper Phibro Has Used Basic Copper Chloride Since It Was Introduced by Micronutrients
    Technical Bulletin Information from Phibro Technical Services Vistore™ Copper Phibro has used Basic Copper Chloride since it was introduced by Micronutrients. Our quality program monitors the efficacy and safety of our ingredients through detailed, routine analyses. These analyses go beyond the major element (Cu) and the contaminants (Pb, Cd, As, Hg, dioxins and furans) to include a 162 point elemental fingerprint and scans of the crystalline structure to confirm product consistency. The analytical history we have accumulated through our DQA® program provides us an understanding of potential quality issues and a basis for ensuring the quality of the Phibro Vistore Copper. Vistore Copper - A Single Chemical Formula Cu2(OH)3Cl Many Names: Multiple Crystalline Structures: • Basic Copper Chloride (AAFCO name) • Vistore Cu 580 (Phibro trade name) • Tribasic copper chloride • Intellibond® C (Micronutrients trade name) • Copper chloride hydroxide • Copper hydroxide chloride • Copper hydroxychloride • Dicopper chloride trihydroxide • Copper trihydroxyl chloride Downs, R.T. and Hall-Wallace, M. (2003) The American Mineralogist Crystal Structure Database. A variety of names, are used for Basic Copper Chloride based on different nomenclatures. All of those listed above Vistore Cu 580 are correct and describe the same compound. Although there is only one empirical formula for Basic Copper Chloride, it can crystallize in different configurations to form four different crystalline structures. Crystalline structure is dependent on the reaction conditions at the time the crystals are formed. Phibro’s choice is to provide a product that contains a mixture of the three primary crystalline structures, thereby avoiding a shift from 100% “ ” form (Atacamite) to 100% “ ” form (Botallackite). Technical Bulletin Phibro’s Chosen Path – Providing Efficacy, Food Safety and Value We have done our homework and selected a partner that will meet the most stringent quality programs.

  • Study of Corrosion Potential Measurements As a Means to Monitor the Storage and Stabilisation Processes of Archaeological Copper Artefacts
    Proceedings of Metal 2004 National Museum of Australia Canberra ACT 4-8 October 2004 ABN 70 592 297 967 Study of corrosion potential measurements as a means to monitor the storage and stabilisation processes of archaeological copper artefacts K. Leyssensa, A. Adriaensa, E. Pantosb and C. Degrignyc a Ghent University, Department of Analytical Chemistry, Krijgslaan 281 – S12, B-9000 Ghent, Belgium b CCLRC, Synchrotron Radiation Department, Daresbury Laboratory, Warrington, UK WA4 4AD c Malta Centre for Restoration, East Wing, Royal Naval Hospital, Bighi, Kalkara, Malta __________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Archaeological copper artefacts recovered from wet saline environments are often stored in tap water and stabilized in sodium sesquicarbonate solutions. Modification of the natural patina and development of active corrosion can occur during these processes. This implies that monitoring of storage/stabilisation processes is necessary. The focus of the study consists of examining how corrosion potential (Ecorr) measurements can contribute in providing information on the effectiveness of storage and stabilisation treatments. This paper reports on the Ecorr versus time plots of artificially prepared copper coupons (covered or not with corrosion layers) immersed in tap water and a sodium sesquicarbonate solution. Synchrotron radiation XRD was performed in parallel to understand the reactions that take place during the immersion processes. Keywords: corrosion potential measurements, XRD, copper, saline environments, storage, stabilisation, sodium sesquicarbonate, tap water 1. Introduction Archaeological copper artefacts recovered from wet saline environments should not be exposed directly to the atmosphere, especially when they contain aggressive chloride species, as the metal will then corrode at an accelerated rate in the oxygen-rich air (Scott 2002, p125).

  • To Volume 55, 1970
    THE AMERICAN MINERALOGIST. VOL, 55. NOVEMtsER.DECEMBER. 1970 INDEX TO VOLUME 55, 1970 The index for this volume attempts to combine the advantages of the content of the traditional subject index, with the computer storage and retrieval possibilities of the KWIC index that was used for volumes 52-54. This index is processed and printed from the input to the Bibli.ography and Iniler oJ Geology,under a contract arrangement with the American Geological Institute. Thanks are due them for their excellent cooperation in this initial venture. The content and layout of this index, and in particular the choice of sub- ject headings, and subheadings, is still evolving. General cornments and specific suggestions from users will be welcomed, and should be addressed to the Editor oI The American Mineralogisl. 2147 AUTHOR INDEX TO VOLUME 55 7-8 1440 Adams. John W.
