  • 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.

  • In-Situ Mno2 Electrodeposition and Its Negative Impact to Rechargeable Zinc Manganese Dioxide Batteries
    In-situ MnO2 Electrodeposition and its Negative Impact to Rechargeable Zinc Manganese Dioxide Batteries by Rui Lin Liang A thesis presented to the University Of Waterloo in fulfilment of the thesis requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering (Nanotechnology) Waterloo, Ontario, Canada 2018 © Rui Lin Liang 2018 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Achieving high rechargeability with the economically feasible and environmentally friendly Zn-MnO2 batteries has been the goal of many scientists in the past half century. Recently, the stability of the system saw a significant improvement through adaptation of mildly acidic electrolyte with Mn2+ additives that prevent dissolution of the active cathode materials, MnO2. With the new design strategy, breakthroughs were made with the battery life span, as the lab scale batteries operated with minimal degradation for over a thousand cycles of charge and discharge at high C- rate ( >5C ) cycling. However, low C-rate operation of these batteries is still limited to 100 cycles, but has not been a focal point of the research efforts. Furthermore, the electrochemical reactions within the battery system are still under debate and many questions remain to be answered. An interesting phenomenon investigated in this thesis about the mildly acidic Zn- MnO2 battery systems is their tendency to experience capacity growth caused by formation of new active material through Mn2+ electrodeposition.

Early days were spent using LEGO robots to automate a rotating microscope stage thanks to the efforts of our colleague Peter Whalley (now deceased). This automation speeded up image capture and allowed us to take the thousands of photographs needed to make sizeable (Earth-based) virtual microscope collections. Virtual microscope methods are ideal for bringing rare and often unique samples to a wide audience so we were not surprised when 10 years ago we were approached by the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council who asked us to prepare a virtual collection of the 12 Moon rocks they loaned out to schools and universities. This would turn out to be one of many collections built using extra-terrestrial material. The major part of our extra-terrestrial work is web-based and we The authors - Mahesh Anand (left) and Andy Tindle (middle) with colleague have build collections of Europlanet meteorites, UK and Irish Peter Whalley (right).
