Abstract Raman spectroscopy at 298 and 77 K has been used to study the secondary uranyl mineral johannite of formula (Cu(UO2)2(SO4)2(OH)2.8H2O). Four Raman bands are observed at 3593, 3523, 3387 and 3234 cm-1 and four infrared bands at 3589, 3518, 3389 and 3205 cm- 1. The first two bands are assigned to OH- units (hydroxyls) and the second two bands to water units. Estimations of the hydrogen bond distances for these four bands are 3.35, 2.92, -1 2- 2.79 and 2.70 Å. A sharp intense band at 1042 cm is attributed to the (SO4) symmetric -1 2- stretching vibration and the three Raman bands at 1147, 1100 and 1090 cm to the (SO4) -1 antisymmetric stretching vibrations. The ν2 bending modes were at 469, 425 and 388 cm at 2- 77 K confirming the reduction in symmetry of the (SO4) units.

URANINITE ALTERATION IN AN OXIDIZING ENVIRONMENT AND ITS RELEVANCE TO THE DISPOSAL OF SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL Robert Finch Rodney Ewing Department of Geology University of New Mexico Submitted to Svensk Kämbränslehantering AB (SKB) December 21,1990 ABSTRACT Uraninite is a natural analogue for spent nuclear fuel because of similarities in structure (both are fluorite structure types) and chemistry (both are nominally UOJ. Effective assessment of the long-term behavior of spent fuel in a geologic repository requires a knowledge of the corrosion products produced in that environment.

  • Preliminary Results of Hydrothermal Alteration Assemblage
    Preliminary Results of Hydrothermal Alteration Assemblage Classification in Aurora and Bodie Mining Districts, Nevada and California, with Airborne Hyperspectral Data Amer Smailbegovic, James V. Taranik and Wendy M. Calvin Arthur Brant Laboratory for Exploration Geophysics University of Nevada, Reno ABSTRACT The Aurora and Bodie mining districts are located in Bodie Hills, north of Mono Lake, on opposite sides of the Nevada-California state line. From the standpoint of economic geology, both deposits are structurally controlled, low-sulfidation, adularia-sericite precious metal vein deposits with an extensive alteration halo. The area was exploited from the late 1870’s until 1988 by both underground and minor open pit operations (Aurora), exposing portions of ore-hosting altered andesites, devitrified rhyolites as well as quartz-adularia-sericite veins. Much of the geologic mapping and explanation was ad- hoc and primarily in support of the mining operations, without particular interest paid to the system as a whole. The University of Nevada, Reno has acquired both high- and low- altitude AVIRIS data of the region. Low-altitude data was acquired in July 2000, followed by high-altitude collection in October 2000. The AVIRIS coverage was targeted on the main vein system in Aurora (Prospectus and Humboldt Vein), East Brawley Peak prospect (midpoint between Aurora and Bodie) and “Bonanza Zone” (Bodie Bluff and Standard Hill) in Bodie, where the hydrothermal alteration zones appear to be the most pervasive. The ground-observations and mining/prospecting reports suggest propylitic alteration throughout the Bodie Hills, argillic and potassic alteration in Aurora and Bodie, (low-sulfidation system) and alunitic alteration (high-sulfidation system) on East Brawley Peak.

U. S. GeologicalSurwy, Washington, D.C. ABSTRACT The name gummite has been wideiy used for more than 100 years as a generic term to designate fine-grained yellow to orange-red alteration products of uraninite whose true identity is unknown. A study of about 100 specimens of gummite from world-wide localities has been made by r-ray, optical, and chemical methods. rt proved possible to identify almost all of the specimens with already known uranium minerals. Gummite typicalty occurs as an alteration product of uraninite crystals in pegmatite. Such specimensshow a characteristic sequenceof alteration products: (1) A central core of black or brownish-black uraninite. (2) A surrounding zone, yellow to orange-red, composed chiefly of hydrated lead uranyl oxides. This zone constitutes the traditional gummite. It is principally composed of fourmarierite, vandendriesscheite and two unidentified phases (Mineral -4 and Mineral c). Less common constituents are clarkeite, becquerelite, curite, and schoepite. (3) An outer silicate zone. This usually is dense with a greenish-yellow color and is composed of uranophane or beta-uranophane; it is sometimes soft and earthy with a straw-yellow to pale-brown color and is then usually composed of kasolite or an unidenti- fied phase (Minerat B). Soddyite and sklodowskite occur rarely. There are minor variations in the above general sequence. rt some specimens the core may be orange-red gummite without residual uraninite or the original uraninite crystal may be wholly converted to silicates.

It was found to be monoclinic, space group P21/n, with a = 4.2696(4), b = 6.9761(5), c = 8.0423(7) Å, β = 100.332(6)°, V = 235.66(3) Å3, Z = 4. The crystal structure [R1 = 0.0329 for 956 reflections with I > 2σ(I)] is topologically identical to that of acanthite, Ag2S, and aguilarite, Ag4SeS. It can be described as a body-centered array of tetrahedrally coordinated X atoms (where X = S and Te) with Ag2X4 polyhedra in planes nearly parallel to (010); the sheets are linked by the other silver position (i.e., Ag1) that exhibits a three-fold coordination. Crystal-chemical features are discussed in relation to other copper and silver sulfides/tellurides, and pure metals.

  • On the Symmetry and Crystal Structure of Aguilarite, Ag4ses
    Mineralogical Magazine, February 2013, Vol. 77(1), pp. 21–31 On the symmetry and crystal structure of aguilarite, Ag4SeS 1,2, 3 L. BINDI * AND N. E. PINGITORE 1 Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Universita`degli Studi di Firenze, Via G. La Pira 4, I-50121 Firenze, Italy 2 CNR À Istituto di Geoscienze e Georisorse, Sezione di Firenze, Via G. La Pira 4, I-50121 Firenze, Italy 3 Department of Geological Sciences, The University of Texas at El Paso, El Paso, TX-79968-0555 Texas, USA [Received 10 December 2012; Accepted 9 January 2013; Associate Editor: Giancarlo Della Ventura] ABSTRACT An examination of a specimen of aguilarite from the type locality provides new data on the chemistry and structure of this mineral. The chemical formula of the crystal used for the structural study is (Ag3.98Cu0.02)(Se0.98S0.84Te0.18), on the basis of 6 atoms. The mineral was found to be monoclinic, ˚ crystallizing in space group P21/n, with a = 4.2478(2), b = 6.9432(3), c = 8.0042(5) A, b = 100.103(2)º, ˚ 3 V = 232.41(2) A and Z = 4. The crystal structure [refined to R1 = 0.0139 for 958 reflections with I >2s(I)] is topologically identical to that of acanthite, Ag2S. It can be described as a body-centred array of tetrahedrally coordinated X atoms (X = S, Se and Te) with Ag2X3 triangles in planes nearly parallel to (010); the sheets are linked by the Ag1 silver site, which has twofold coordination. Aguilarite is definitively proved to be isostructural with acanthite; it does not have a naumannite-like structure, as previously supposed.
