The geological complexities of contractional orogenic belts have been studied for two centuries, yet our understanding of them is still rapidly changing. Most mountain belts form at or near the active edges of continents and/or fringing island arcs. Virtually all result from consumption of lithospheric plates, involving the underflow of oceanic crust, and the consequent transport and descent of...

This paper present the results obtained by simulation for the functioning regime improvement of an UHP Electric Arc Furnace. Because the nonlinearity of the electric arc the EAF functioning regime are perturbed from three causes: the current harmonics, the reactive power and the unbalanced load. In this paper there are study the possibilities of harmonics filtering and compensate the reactive p...

For the first time, dioxomolybdenum(VI) complex with the general formula [MoO2L2] containing a N-O bidentate ligands (HL=2-(o-aminophenyl)- benzimidazole) has been used for the oxidation of sulfides. Elemental analyses (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen), FT-IR and Uv-Visble spectra and 1HNMR analysis agree well with the proposed stoicheiometry of the complex [MoO...

The synthesis of stereoisomers of acuminatolide is rare and requires complex and time-consuming multistep procedures. Asarinin (1) and sesamin (2), two diasteromeric tetrahydrofurofuran lignans, are efficiently mono-dearylated by methyltrioxorhenium (MTO, I) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or urea hydrogen peroxide adduct (UHP) as primary oxidant to give (-)-(7R,8'R,8R)-acuminatolide (3A) and (+)-...

The discovery of ultrahigh pressure (UHP) minerals in orogenic belts has revolutionized our understanding subduction and the return flow previously deeply subducted material to Earth's surface as part cycling interaction crustal mantle systems. One class UHP is found inclusions peridotite-hosted podiform-chromite systems, within Phanerozoic ophiolites ophiolitic mélanges. Such have opened a win...

Abstract In collision-type orogens, where high-pressure and ultrahigh-pressure (HP–UHP) metamorphism usually occurs, deeply subducted continental slabs with eclogitized mafic rocks often undergo recrystallization/overprinting various geothermal gradients after the peak conditions at lower-to-middle-crustal levels. During crustal stabilization, transition from eclogite-to granulite-facies is com...

Plate convergence can induce large-scale metamorphism and magmatism, reshape large parts of continental margins, subsequently change regional climate biodiversity. Metamorphic rocks in orogenic belts commonly record different metamorphic evolutions temporal-spatial distributions at the scale, which are strongly influenced by convergent processes through time. In some cases, ultrahigh-pressure (...
