    .. & METEORITIC RUTILE Peter R. Buseck Departments of Geology and Chemistry Arizona State University Tempe, Arizona Klaus Keil Space Sciences Division National Aeronautics and Space Administration Ames Research Center Mof fett Field, California r ABSTRACT Rutile has not been widely recognized as a meteoritic constituent. show, Recent microscopic and electron microprobe studies however, that Ti02 . is a reasonably widespread phase, albeit in minor amounts. X-ray diffraction studies confirm the Ti02 to be rutile. It was observed in the following meteorites - Allegan, Bondoc, Estherville, Farmington, and Vaca Muerta, The rutile is associated primarily with ilmenite and chromite, in some cases as exsolution lamellae. Accepted for publication by American Mineralogist . Rutile, as a meteoritic phase, is not widely known. In their sunanary . of meteorite mineralogy neither Mason (1962) nor Ramdohr (1963) report rutile as a mineral occurring in meteorites, although Ramdohr did describe a similar phase from the Faxmington meteorite in his list of "unidentified minerals," He suggested (correctly) that his "mineral D" dght be rutile. He also ob- served it in several mesosiderites. The mineral was recently mentioned to occur in Vaca Huerta (Fleischer, et al., 1965) and in Odessa (El Goresy, 1965). We have found rutile in the meteorites Allegan, Bondoc, Estherville, Farming- ton, and Vaca Muerta; although nowhere an abundant phase, it appears to be rather widespread. Of the several meteorites in which it was observed, rutile is the most abundant in the Farmington L-group chondrite. There it occurs in fine lamellae in ilmenite. The ilmenite is only sparsely distributed within the . meteorite although wherever it does occur it is in moderately large clusters - up to 0.5 mn in diameter - and it then is usually associated with chromite as well as rutile (Buseck, et al., 1965), Optically, the rutile has a faintly bluish tinge when viewed in reflected, plane-polarized light with immersion objectives.

  • Occurrence, Alteration Patterns and Compositional Variation of Perovskite in Kimberlites
    975 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 38, pp. 975-994 (2000) OCCURRENCE, ALTERATION PATTERNS AND COMPOSITIONAL VARIATION OF PEROVSKITE IN KIMBERLITES ANTON R. CHAKHMOURADIAN§ AND ROGER H. MITCHELL Department of Geology, Lakehead University, 955 Oliver Road, Thunder Bay, Ontario P7B 5E1, Canada ABSTRACT The present work summarizes a detailed investigation of perovskite from a representative collection of kimberlites, including samples from over forty localities worldwide. The most common modes of occurrence of perovskite in archetypal kimberlites are discrete crystals set in a serpentine–calcite mesostasis, and reaction-induced rims on earlier-crystallized oxide minerals (typically ferroan geikielite or magnesian ilmenite). Perovskite precipitates later than macrocrystal spinel (aluminous magnesian chromite), and nearly simultaneously with “reaction” Fe-rich spinel (sensu stricto), and groundmass spinels belonging to the magnesian ulvöspinel – magnetite series. In most cases, perovskite crystallization ceases prior to the resorption of groundmass spinels and formation of the atoll rim. During the final evolutionary stages, perovskite commonly becomes unstable and reacts with a CO2- rich fluid. Alteration of perovskite in kimberlites involves resorption, cation leaching and replacement by late-stage minerals, typically TiO2, ilmenite, titanite and calcite. Replacement reactions are believed to take place at temperatures below 350°C, 2+ P < 2 kbar, and over a wide range of a(Mg ) values. Perovskite from kimberlites approaches the ideal formula CaTiO3, and normally contains less than 7 mol.% of other end-members, primarily lueshite (NaNbO3), loparite (Na0.5Ce0.5TiO3), and CeFeO3. Evolutionary trends exhibited by perovskite from most localities are relatively insignificant and typically involve a decrease in REE and Th contents toward the rim (normal pattern of zonation).

Analogues of these varieties are present in many carbonatite complexes. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavior of high field strength elements during the late stages of carbonatite formation. We conducted a multilateral study of titanium- and niobium-bearing minerals, including a petrographic study, Raman spectroscopy, microprobe determination of chemical composition, and electron backscatter diffraction. Three TiO2-polymorphs (anatase, brookite and rutile) and three pyrochlore group members (hydroxycalcio-, fluorcalcio-, and kenoplumbopyrochlore) were found to coexist in the studied rocks. The formation of these minerals occurred in several stages. First, Nb-poor Ti-oxides were formed in the fluid-permeable zones. The overprinting of this assemblage by residual fluids led to the generation of Nb-rich brookite (the main niobium concentrator in the Petyayan-Vara) and minerals of the pyrochlore group.

However, PSCs containing a metal oxide compact layer (CL) suffer from poor long-term stability and performance. The quality of the underlying substrate strongly influences the growth of the perovskite layer.

OGXRHB@K OQNODQSHDR Chemistry: TiO2 Titanium Dioxide, often containing iron Class: Oxides Subclass: Simple Oxides Group: Brookite Crystal System: Orthorhombic Crystal Habits: Tabular to platy, thin in one direction; sometimes sheet-like, with pseudo-hexagonal cross- sections, parallel striations, and small, brilliant termination faces. Less commonly as black, opaque, six-sided bipyramids (variety arkansite). Twinning rare. Crystals usually less than one-quarter inch in size. Color: Brown, yellow-brown, amber, orange, and reddish-brown. Luster: Submetallic to adamantine Transparency: Transparent to translucent and opaque Streak: Yellowish-white Cleavage: Poor in one direction Fracture: Subconchoidal, brittle Hardness: 5.5-6.0 Specific Gravity: 4.10-4.14 Luminescence: None Refractive Index: 2.583-2.705 Figure 1. Brookite crystal Distinctive Features and Tests: Submetallic luster, relatively high density, reddish-brown color, frequent association with rutile, anatase [both polymorphs of titanium dioxide, TiO2], and quartz [silicon dioxide, SiO2] in alpine-cleft-type deposits. Dana Classification Number: 4.4.5.1 M @L D The name of this month’s mineral is pronounced just as it is spelled—BROOK-ite, and is named after the English crystallographer and mineralogist Henry James Brook (1771-1857). Brookite is also known as “arkansite,” “eumanite,” “jurinite,” “pyromelane,” “acid titanium,” “ortho-rutile,” and “ortho-titanium.” European mineralogists refer to brookite as “brookita” and “brookit.” BNL ONRHSHNM Titanium and oxygen combine to form three distinct minerals, and possible a fourth, as we will see.

  • Tunable Composition Aqueous-Synthesized Mixed-Phase
    catalysts Article Tunable Composition Aqueous-Synthesized Mixed-Phase TiO2 Nanocrystals for Photo-Assisted Water Decontamination: Comparison of Anatase, Brookite and Rutile Photocatalysts Konstantina Chalastara 1 , Fuqiang Guo 1, Samir Elouatik 2 and George P. Demopoulos 1,* 1 Materials Engineering, McGill University, Montreal, QC H3A 0C5, Canada; [email protected] (K.C.); [email protected] (F.G.) 2 Département de chimie, Université de Montréal, Montreal, QC H3T 2B1, Canada; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +514-398-2046 Received: 31 December 2019; Accepted: 7 April 2020; Published: 8 April 2020 Abstract: Mixed-phase nanoTiO2 materials attract a lot of attention as advanced photocatalysts for + water decontamination due to their intrinsic structure that allows better photo-excited e−cb-h vb charge separation, hence improved photocatalytic efficiency. Currently, the best-known mixed-phase TiO2 photocatalyst is P25 with approximate composition 80% Anatase/20% Rutile (A/r). Apart from Anatase (A) and Rutile (R) phases, there is Brookite (B) which has been evaluated less as photocatalyst in mixed-phase nanoTiO2 systems. In this work we present a sustainable solution process to synthesize tunable composition mixed-phase nanotitania photocatalysts in a continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) by modulating conditions like pH, CTiCl4 and time. In particular three mixed-phase TiO2 nanomaterials were produced, namely one predominantly anatase with brookite as minor component (A/b), one predominantly brookite with minor component rutile (B/r), and one predominantly rutile with minor component brookite (R/b) and evaluated as photocatalysts in the degradation of methyl orange. The three semiconducting nanomaterials were characterized by XRD and Raman spectroscopy to quantify the phase ratios and subjected to nano-morphological characterization by FE-SEM and TEM/HR-TEM.
