چکیده

We have undertaken a vibrational spectroscopic study of paravauxite the Siglo XX mine, Bustillo Province, northern of Potosí department, Bolivia. This mine is important source for rare and unusual secondary phosphate minerals and is the type locality for a number of rare phosphates such as vauxite, sigloite, metavauxite and for jeanbandyite. The chemical formula of the studied sample was determined as Fe(2+)(0.9)5, Al(0.07)Σ1.02 (Al)2.09 (PO4)1:97 (OH)1.98 · 7.90(H2O). The Raman spectrum is dominated by an intense Raman band at 1020 cm(-1) assigned to the PO4(3-) ν1 symmetric stretching mode. Low intensity Raman bands found at 1058, 1115 and 1148 cm(-1) are assigned to the PO4(3-) ν3 antisymmetric stretching vibrations. Raman bands of paravauxite at 537, 570, 609 and 643 cm(-1) are assigned to the ν4 PO4(3-) bending modes whilst the Raman bands at 393 and 420 cm(-1) are due to the ν2 PO4(3-) bending modes. The Raman spectral profile of paravauxite in the hydroxyl stretching region is broad with component bands resolved at 3086, 3215, 3315, 3421, 3505 and 3648 cm(-1). Vibrational spectroscopy enables the assessment of the molecular structure of paravauxite to be undertaken.

We have analyzed a frondelite mineral sample from the Cigana mine, located in the municipality of Conselheiro Pena, a well-known pegmatite in Brazil. In the Cigana pegmatite, secondary phosphates, namely eosphorite, fairfieldite, fluorapatite, frondelite, gormanite, hureaulite, lithiophilite, reddingite and vivianite are common minerals in miarolitic cavities and in massive blocks after triphyl...

A Raman and infrared spectroscopic analysis of the phosphate mineral wardite NaAl3(PO4)2(OH)4⋅2(H2O) from Brazil.

A wardite mineral sample from Lavra Da Ilha, Minas Gerais, Brazil has been examined by vibrational spectroscopy. The mineral is unusual in that it belongs to a unique symmetry class, namely the tetragonal-trapezohedral group. The structure of wardite contains layers of corner-linked -OH bridged MO6 octahedra stacked along the tetragonal C-axis in a four-layer sequence and linked by PO4 groups. ...

Vibrational spectroscopy of the phosphate mineral lazulite--(Mg, Fe)Al2(PO4)2·(OH)2 found in the Minas Gerais, Brazil.

This research was done on lazulite samples from the Gentil mine, a lithium bearing pegmatite located in the municipality of Mendes Pimentel, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Chemical analysis was carried out by electron microprobe analysis and indicated a magnesium rich phase with partial substitution of iron. Traces of Ca and Mn, (which partially replaced Mg) were found. The calculated chemical formula o...
