The Mount Milligan deposit, centred at latitude SS”O8’ north and longitude 124”04’ west, is 100 kilometres westsouthwest of Mackenzie and 160 kilometres northwest of Prince George in central British Columbia. The deposit occurs in gently rolling topography (Plate 2-6-l) 5 kilometres due south of Mount Milligan. Access to the property is by a 93.kilometre logging road that connects with the Hart...

In this work, we are presenting an iron ion (Fe 3+ ) potentiometric sensor based on functionalized ZnO nanorods with selective ionophore (18 crown 6). Zinc oxide nanorods with a diameter of about 100 to 150 nm and 1μm in length were grown on gold coated glass. The selective Fe 3+ ionophore sensor with highly aligned ZnO nanorods has given high sensitivity, acceptable selectivity, reproducibilit...

The properties of a magnetically ordered buried Fe oxide layer are presented. This oxide has a room-temperature magnetization exceeding that of Fe3O4 by 42% and of gamma-Fe2O3 by 89%. The oxide consists of a component (70%) with a net moment of 2.0 micro(B)/Fe ion, while the remaining spins yield no net moment. The oxide magnetization is stabilized in part by the proximate Fe metal.

Yeylagh-e-Gharechi porphyry copper deposit is located in the Arasbaran metallogenic belt at northwestern Iran, 25 kilometer of Ahar. Porphyry mineralization at the Yeylagh-e-Gharechi deposit occurred in post-Oligocene quartz monzonite and monzonite bodies which was hosted by Eocene volcanic rocks. Mineralization occurred as veins, veinlets and dissemination in hypogene zone. Supergene zone has ...

The use of a molecular gold organometallic cluster in chemical vapour deposition is reported, and it is utilized, together with a tungsten oxide precursor, for the single-step co-deposition of (nanostructured) tungsten oxide supported gold nanoparticles (NPs). The deposited gold-NP and tungsten oxide supported gold-NP are highly active catalysts for benzyl alcohol oxidation; both show higher ac...

The available methods for double-labeling preembedding immunoelectron microscopy are highly limited because not only should the ultrastructure be preserved, but also the different antigens should be visualized by reaction end products that can be clearly distinguished in gray-scale images. In these procedures, one antigen is detected with 3,3'-diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogen, resulting in a ho...

Recent experimental studies permit development of conceptual and quantitative models of microbial Fe(III) oxide reduction at circumneutral pH that can be compared to and contrasted with established models of abiotic mineral dissolution. The findings collectively support a model for controls on enzymatic reduction that differs fundamentally from those applied to abiotic reductive dissolution as ...

The anodically first formed oxide on gold (oxide I) reaches two complete monolayers, ie 1.5 rnCcm_’ oxide charge, before a ssond type of oxide (oxide II) starts to form. Electrochemical redox reactions with redox couples such as the tris(o-phenantroline) ferrous/ferric ion couple and others which are well known to behave reversibly on bare gold are inhibited completely by gold covered with this...
