This paper provides the results on spinel sampled from ailikites of Bolshetagninskii massif East Sayan region. The study aimed to determine history formation ultramafic lamprophyres Ziminsky complex. Spinel three dikes with different mineral compositions groundmass but similar textural and structural features (BTG 2/21, TGK 3, BTG 6/21) was analyzed. content main elements microcomponents in det...

Processing resource requirements in mineral extractive industries tend to increase over time as ore grades decrease, which consequently increases the environmental footprint of operations and products. This phenomenon may be alleviated by cleaner production interventions. South Africa is largest global supplier chromium. study investigates impact process improvements on selected intensities Afr...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether occupational exposure to chromite, trivalent chromium, or hexavalent chromium causes respiratory diseases, an excess of respiratory symptoms, a decrease in pulmonary function, or signs of pneumoconiosis among workers in an integrated chain of stainless steel production. METHODS This cross sectional study was carried out in 1993 and the inclusion criterion was a...

The podiform chromitite deposits of the Ordovician Sorkhband ultramafic complex, southwestern Makran, are the largest chromitite deposits in Iran. The Sorkhband ultramafic complex comprises of a northern part of dunite, podiform chromitite, olivine clinopyroxenite, wehrlite and olivine websterite and a southern part of foliated diopsidic harzburgite with subordinate dunite, olivine clinopyroxen...

Abstract The Eagle’s Nest Ni-Cu-(platinum group element; PGE) deposit occurs within the 2.73 Ga Esker intrusive complex of Ring Fire suite in McFaulds Lake greenstone belt northern Ontario. Mineralization along margin a formerly ~500-m-high, ~85-m-thick, >1,500-m-long subvertical structurally rotated blade-shaped dike composed harzburgite, lherzolite, and wehrlite. Three sulfide textural...
