Vol. 39 5 UDC 549.66 NEW DATA ON KOMAROVITE SERIES MINERALS Igor V. Pekov Geological Faculty, Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow [email protected] Yulia V. Azarova Institute of Geology, Petrography, and Mineralogy of Ore Deposits, RAS, Moscow Nikita V. Chukanov Institute of Problems of Chemical Physics RAS, Chernogolovka, Moscow Oblast, [email protected] The complex (electron microprobe, Xray diffraction, IRspectroscopy etc.) research was accomplished for rep- resentative collection of samples of komarovite series minerals, occurred in pseudomorphs after vuonnemite from Lovozero and Khibiny alkaline massifs (Kola Peninsula), representations about their cation composition are much extended. New and earlier published materials on these minerals are critically considered and gener- alized. In light of their strongly pronounced zeolitelike structure, the schemes of isomorphism and decation- ization are discussed. Ideal general formula for komarovite series members: (Na,M)6xСa(Nb,Ti)6[Si4O12] (O,OH)14(F,OH)2·nH2O where M = Ca, Sr, Ba, K, Pb, REE, Th etc. In this series, it is propesed to distinguish two mineral species: komarovite (decationized, corresponds to original komarovite, with x > 3) and natroko- marovite (cationsaturated, with x < 3). Within the limits of the modern nomenclature the latter term is repre- sented more correct than earlier used for this mineral name «Nakomarovite». Komarovite and natrokomarovite strongly differ in chemical composition but are close on Xray powder diagrams and IRspectra. In chemical relation, oxosilicates of the komarovite series occupies an intermediate position between oxides of the pyrochlore group and silicates of the labuntsovite group. That causes a place of natrokomarovite in general scheme of evolution of niobium mineralization in differentiates of alkaline complexes: it appears as an inter- mediate product at fluctuations of the activity of silica in pegmatitichydrothermal systems. Komarovite is a typ- ical transformational mineral species formed by solidstate transformation (decationization, ion exchange, addi- tional hydration) of natrokomarovite under late hydrothermal and probably in hypergene conditions. 3 tables, 2 figures, and 18 references Komarovite series minerals occur in deriva- ture consists of oxide (pyrochlore) and silicate tives of agpaitic rocks from three highalkali modules (Krivokoneva et al., 1979).

Correlations between 25Mg NMR parameters and the local structure at the magnesium site(s) are highlighted and discussed. First-principles density functional theory calculations of 25Mg NMR parameters carried out with the WIEN2k software package support our experimental 25Mg NMR 25 data. Experimental Mg CQ values range from 0.7 ± 0.1 MHz in hungchaoite to 18.0 ± 0.5 MHz in 25 boracite-type Mg3B7O13Br.

    Paleomineralogy of the Hadean Eon: What Minerals Were Present at Life’s Origins? Robert M. Hazen—Geophysical Lab 1st ELSI International Symposium Tokyo Institute of Technology March 30, 2013 CONCLUSIONS As many as 90% of the 4700 known mineral species were not present on Earth prior to the origins of life before ~4.0 billion years ago. Origins-of-life models that rely on minerals for catalysis, selection, concentration, protection, or other processes must employ plausible prebiotic mineral species. List of 420 Mineral Species R. M. Hazen (2013) “Paleomineralogy of the Hadean Eon: A Preliminary List” American Journal of Science, in press. What Is Mineral Evolution? A change over time in: • The diversity of mineral species • The relative abundances of minerals • The compositional ranges of minerals • The grain sizes and morphologies of minerals “Ur”-Mineralogy Pre-solar grains contain about a dozen micro- and nano-mineral phases: • Diamond/Lonsdaleite • Graphite (C) • Moissanite (SiC) • Osbornite (TiN) • Nierite (Si3N4) • Rutile (TiO2) • Corundum (Al O ) 2 3 • Spinel (MgAl2O4) • Hibbonite (CaAl12O19) • Forsterite (Mg2SiO4) • Nano-particles of TiC, ZrC, MoC, FeC, Fe-Ni metal within graphite. • GEMS (silicate glass with embedded metal and sulfide).

The Bureau's overall goal is to strengthen and advance the Nation's science and technology and facilitate their effective application for public benefit. To this end, the Bureau conducts research and provides: (1) a basis for the Nation's physical measurement system, (2) scientific and technological services for industry and government, (3) a technical basis for equity in trade, and (4) technical services to promote public safety. The Bureau consists of the Institute for Basic Standards, the Institute for Materials Research, the Institute for Applied Technology, the Institute for Computer Sciences and Technology, and the Office for Information Programs. THE INSTITUTE FOR BASIC STANDARDS provides the central basis within the United States of a complete and consistent system of physical measurement; coordinates that system with measurement systems of other nations; and furnishes essential services leading to accurate and uniform physical measurements throughout the Nation's scientific community, industry, and commerce.

  • The Effect of Solution Density on the Synthesis of Magnesium Borate from Boron-Gypsum
    World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology International Journal of Chemical and Molecular Engineering Vol:8, No:10, 2014 The Effect of Solution Density on the Synthesis of Magnesium Borate from Boron-Gypsum N. Tugrul, E. Sariburun, F. T. Senberber, A. S. Kipcak, E. Moroydor Derun, S. Piskin reaction mixture to up to a size large enough to be filtered out Abstract—Boron-gypsum is a waste which occurs in the boric of the solution. acid production process. In this study, the boron content of this waste Gypsum crystallization reaction is given in (2): is evaluated for the use in synthesis of magnesium borates and such evaluation of this kind of waste is useful more than storage or Ca 2+ 2SO2- + H O (l) CaSO 2H O(s) (2) disposal. Magnesium borates, which are a sub-class of boron 4 2 4 2 minerals, are useful additive materials for the industries due to their remarkable thermal and mechanical properties. Magnesium borates Boron-Gypsum which is waste product of boric acid were obtained hydrothermally at different temperatures. Novelty of production process consist gypsum, B2O3 and some impurities this study is the search of the solution density effects to magnesium that causes various environmental and storage problems. The borate synthesis process for the increasing the possibility of boron- content of B2O3 in boron-gypsum obtained during the boric gypsum usage as a raw material. After the synthesis process, products acid production increases up to 7%. It is a valuable industrial are subjected to XRD and FT-IR to identify and characterize their crystal structure, respectively.
