The samples can be divided into three types: Mn-rich 15 16 nodules, Fe-Mn nodules, and Fe-rich nodules. The manganese-bearing phases are todorokite, birnessite, 16 17 and buserite. The iron-bearing phases are feroxyhyte, goethite, 2-line ferrihydrite, and proto-goethite 17 18 (intermediate phase between feroxyhyte and goethite). The XRD patterns from a nodule cross section 18 19 suggest the transformation of birnessite to todorokite. The TEM-EDS spectra show that todorokite is 19 associated with Ba, Co, Ni, and Zn; birnessite is associated with Ca and Na; and buserite is associated with 20 2+ +2 3+ 20 Ca. The todorokite has an average chemical formula of Ba0.28(Zn0.14Co0.05 21 2+ 4+ 3+ 3+ 3+ 2+ 21 Ni0.02)(Mn4.99Mn0.82Fe0.12Co0.05Ni0.02)O12·nH2O.

  • 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.

  • A Review on Historical Earth Pigments Used in India's Wall Paintings
    heritage Review A Review on Historical Earth Pigments Used in India’s Wall Paintings Anjali Sharma 1 and Manager Rajdeo Singh 2,* 1 Department of Conservation, National Museum Institute, Janpath, New Delhi 110011, India; [email protected] 2 National Research Laboratory for the Conservation of Cultural Property, Aliganj, Lucknow 226024, India * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Iron-containing earth minerals of various hues were the earliest pigments of the prehistoric artists who dwelled in caves. Being a prominent part of human expression through art, nature- derived pigments have been used in continuum through ages until now. Studies reveal that the primitive artist stored or used his pigments as color cakes made out of skin or reeds. Although records to help understand the technical details of Indian painting in the early periodare scanty, there is a certain amount of material from which some idea may be gained regarding the methods used by the artists to obtain their results. Considering Indian wall paintings, the most widely used earth pigments include red, yellow, and green ochres, making it fairly easy for the modern era scientific conservators and researchers to study them. The present knowledge on material sources given in the literature is limited and deficient as of now, hence the present work attempts to elucidate the range of earth pigments encountered in Indian wall paintings and the scientific studies and characterization by analytical techniques that form the knowledge background on the topic. Studies leadingto well-founded knowledge on pigments can contribute towards the safeguarding of Indian cultural heritage as well as spread awareness among conservators, restorers, and scholars.

Box 50 007, 104 05 Stockholm, Sweden ABSTRACT The garnet supergroup includes all minerals isostructural with garnet regardless of what elements occupy the four atomic sites, i.e., the supergroup includes several chemical classes. There are pres- ently 32 approved species, with an additional 5 possible species needing further study to be approved. The general formula for the garnet supergroup minerals is {X3}[Y2](Z3)ϕ12, where X, Y, and Z refer to dodecahedral, octahedral, and tetrahedral sites, respectively, and ϕ is O, OH, or F. Most garnets are cubic, space group Ia3d (no. 230), but two OH-bearing species (henritermierite and holtstamite) have tetragonal symmetry, space group, I41/acd (no. 142), and their X, Z, and ϕ sites are split into more symmetrically unique atomic positions. Total charge at the Z site and symmetry are criteria for distinguishing groups, whereas the dominant-constituent and dominant-valency rules are critical in identifying species. Twenty-nine species belong to one of five groups: the tetragonal henritermierite group and the isometric bitikleite, schorlomite, garnet, and berzeliite groups with a total charge at Z of 8 (silicate), 9 (oxide), 10 (silicate), 12 (silicate), and 15 (vanadate, arsenate), respectively.

KEUTSCH,2 AND LUCA BINDI1,3 1Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università degli Studi di Firenze, via La Pira 4, I-50121 Firenze, Italy 2Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 1101 University Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, U.S.A. 3Museo di Storia Naturale, sezione di Mineralogia e Litologia, Università degli Studi di Firenze, via La Pira 4, I-50121 Firenze, Italy ABSTRACT Manganoquadratite, ideally AgMnAsS3, is a new mineral from the Uchucchacua polymetallic deposit, Oyon district, Catajambo, Lima Department, Peru. It occurs as dark gray, anhedral to subhe- dral grains up 0.5 mm across, closely associated with alabandite, Mn-rich calcite, Mn-rich sphalerite, proustite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, tennantite, argentotennantite, stannite, and other unnamed minerals of the system Pb-Ag-Sb-Mn-As-S. Manganoquadratite is opaque with a metallic luster and possesses 2 a reddish-brown streak. It is brittle, the Vickers microhardness (VHN10) is 81 kg/mm (range 75–96) (corresponding Mohs hardness of 2–2½). The calculated density is 4.680 g/cm3 (on the basis of the empirical formula). In plane-polarized reflected light, manganoquadratite is moderately bireflectant and very weakly pleochroic from dark gray to a blue gray. Internal reflections are absent. Between crossed polars, the mineral is anisotropic, without characteristic rotation tints. Reflectance percentages (Rmin and Rmax) for the four standard COM wavelengths are 29.5, 31.8 (471.1 nm), 28.1, 30.5 (548.3 nm), 27.3, 29.3 (586.6 nm), and 26.0, 28.2 (652.3 nm), respectively.

  • Sorptive Interaction of Oxyanions with Iron Oxides: a Review
    Pol. J. Environ. Stud. Vol. 22, No. 1 (2013), 7-24 Review Sorptive Interaction of Oxyanions with Iron Oxides: A Review Haleemat Iyabode Adegoke1*, Folahan Amoo Adekola1, Olalekan Siyanbola Fatoki2, Bhekumusa Jabulani Ximba2 1Department of Chemistry, University of Ilorin P.M.B. 1515, Ilorin, Nigeria 2Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, P.O. Box 652, Cape Town, South Africa Received: 5 December 2011 Accepted: 24 July 2012 Abstract Iron oxides are a group of minerals composed of Fe together with O and/or OH. They have high points of zero charge, making them positively charged over most soil pH ranges. Iron oxides also have relatively high surface areas and a high density of surface functional groups for ligand exchange reactions. In recent time, many studies have been undertaken on the use of iron oxides to remove harmful oxyanions such as chromate, arsenate, phosphate, and vanadate, etc., from aqueous solutions and contaminated waters via surface adsorp- tion on the iron oxide surface structure. This review article provides an overview of synthesis methods, char- acterization, and sorption behaviours of different iron oxides with various oxyanions. The influence of ther- modynamic and kinetic parameters on the adsorption process is appraised. Keywords: oxyanions, iron oxides, adsorption, isotherm, points of zero charge Introduction Iron oxides have been used as catalysts in the chemical industry [9, 10], and a potential photoanode for possible Iron oxides are a group of minerals composed of iron electrochemical cells [11, 12]. In medical applications, and oxygen and/or hydroxide. They are widespread in nanoparticle magnetic and superparamagnetic iron oxides nature and are found in soils and rocks, lakes and rivers, on have been used for drug delivery in the treatment of cancer the seafloor, in air, and in organisms.

  • Characterization and Beneficiation of Iranian Low-Grade Manganese Ore
    Physicochemical Problems Physicochem. Probl. Miner. Process. 49(2), 2013, 725−741 of Mineral Processing ISSN 1643-1049 (print) www.minproc.pwr.wroc.pl/journal/ ISSN 2084-4735 (online) Received July 24, 2012; reviewed; accepted April 26, 2013 CHARACTERIZATION AND BENEFICIATION OF IRANIAN LOW-GRADE MANGANESE ORE Akbar MEHDILO, Mehdi IRANNAJAD, Mohammad Reza HOJJATI-RAD * Department of Mining and Metallurgical Eng., Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran *[email protected] Abstract: The mineralogical studies indicated that the Charagah ore deposit contains approximately 17% pyrolusite, 78% calcite and 3–4% quartz. Pyrolusite as a main valuable mineral is found in the forms of coarse and fine pyrolusites. The coarse grains pyrolusite with simple texture is liberated at 180 micrometers. Another kind of pyrolusite with particle size finer than 10 m is disseminated inside gangue phases. This kind of pyrolusite has important effect in beneficiation processes and can affect the manganese grade of the concentrate and its recovery negatively. By jigging machine a pre-concentrate with 20% MnO and a final tailing with about 13% manganese loss are obtained. Using tabling technique or wet high intensity magnetic separation (WHIMS) and also their combination with jigging machine, production of a final pyrolusite concentrate with suitable grade but average recovery is possible. By jigging-tabling a concentrate with – 500+45 m size fraction, 44.3% MnO and 61.3% recovery is obtained while jigging-WHIMS produces a concentrate containing 52.6% MnO with a recovery up to 56.6% and d80 = 180 m. Keywords: pyrolusite, manganese ore, ore characterization, gravity separation, magnetic separation Introduction Manganese is used mainly in steel production, directly in pig iron manufacture and indirectly through upgrading ore to ferroalloys.
