Crystal Chemistry and Structure of the Orthorhombic (Fe,Mn)(Ta,Nb)2O6 Family of Compounds
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we review the crystal chemistry and structure data from the literature and our results reported in the last decade for natural and synthetic samples of the tantalite-columbite series. Orderdisorder transitions and oxidation reactions on the ixiolite-columbite-wodginite system are reported for one Brazilian sample. It is shown that reports on these subjects are sometimes dubious and incomplete. In addition to the reaction atmosphere (air or vacuum), order-disorder and oxidation are strongly dependent on the physical state of the samples (powdered or crystal). Structure and chemical composition have been investigated in our laboratory using X-ray di raction (XRD), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and M ossbauer spectroscopy (MS).

Catalytic oxidation of toluene over LaBO3 (B= Fe, Mn and Co) and LaCo0.7B′0.3O3 (B′= Fe and Mn) perovskite-type
In this paper, LaBO3 perovskite type catalyst formulations were prepared by sol-gel auto combustion method using citric acid as the fuel. Activity of catalysts was tested in catalytic oxidation of toluene as a model of volatile organic compounds. LaCoO3 perovskite formulation showed the highest activity among LaBO3 (Fe, Mn and Co) perovskite catalysts. So, LaCoO3 perovskite based catalyst was s...
متن کاملFERROTAPIOLITE AS A PSEUDOMORPH OF STIBIOTANTALITE FROM THE LAŠTOVIČKY LEPIDOLITE PEGMATITE, CZECH REPUBLIC; AN EXAMPLE OF HYDROTHERMAL ALTERATION AT CONSTANT Ta/(Ta + Nb)
Dark brown porous ferrotapiolite is a dominant product of alteration in pseudomorphs after primary stibiotantalite from the lepidolite pegmatite at Laštovičky, western Moravia, Czech Republic. Two compositionally distinct varieties of ferrotapiolite were recognized, a volumetrically dominant Fe3+-rich phase and a very rare Sb-rich phase. Niobium-rich ferrotapiolite, with up to 17.51 wt.% Nb2O5 ...
متن کاملRecycled crust controls contrasting source compositions of Mesozoic and Cenozoic basalts in the North China Craton
We explore Fe/Mn and Nb/Ta ratios of basalts as potential tracers for differentiating melts of recycled mafic crustal lithologies from peridotitic melts. Trace elements and Fe/Mn ratios of the Mesozoic and Cenozoic basalts from East China were analyzed by ICP-MS. Low Nb/Ta ratios (15.4 ± 0.3 (2r, n = 45)), high Nb and Ta contents (60.1 and 4.01 ppm) and high Fe/ Mn ratios (64.7 ± 1.5 (2r, n = 4...

The two title compounds were prepared by direct reactions of the corresponding elements at high temperature, and their structures were determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The structure of K(38)Nb(7)As(24) (orthorhombic; Cmcm; Z = 4; a = 10.4974(6), b = 23.915(2), c = 36.046(2) A) comprises isolated tetrahedra of NbAs(4) and two types of dimers of edge-sharing tetrahedra: dime...
