In the Bazhenovskoye chrysotile–asbestos deposit (Middle Urals), nephrite bodies of serpentinite type were found on contact after gabbro rodingites and serpentinites. The color is uniform to non-uniform, green light green, bluish greyish whitish. Spots, streaks, lenticules bright bluish-green or, contrary, are sometimes noted. mostly comprised tremolite. Chromite decreases quality ornamental st...

Lodran is a unique meteorite consisting of roughly equal amounts of metal, olivine, and pyroxene with minor amounts of sulphide, chromite, phosphide, chrome-diopside, and a new phase with a composition close to (K,Na)A1SisO12. Zahringer reported planetary-type rare gases in both the metal and silicates, suggesting a primitive nature. The pyroxene composition is Fs13.s with little variation. Oli...

The aim of this work is not only the synthesis of black ceramic pigment with spinel structure using local and inexpensive minerals (chromite and manganese ores) but also throw some light on the relations between the structure and the colour of obtained pigment. Ultimate utilization spinel solid solution in ceramic materials is mostly due to their structure characteristics, their thermal and che...

nicr2o4 normal spinel nanostructures were prepared via hydrothermal treatment at 180 °c for 12 h in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (ctab), sodium dodecyl sulphate (sds) and poly vinylpyrrolidone-25000 (pvp-25000) as capping agents and subsequent calcination process at 500 °c for 3 h . in this method, [ni(en)2(h2o)2](no3)2 and [cr(en)3]cl3.3h2o used as precursors and not utilized...

The mantle rocks from Kadaboura and Madara areas represent sections of dismembered ophiolitic complexes developed during the Neoproterozoic in Eastern Desert Egypt, which is located northwestern corner Arabian–Nubian Shield. comprise serpentinites serpentinized dunites, whereas those consist pyroxenites.Despite serpentinization studied rocks, few relicts primary chromite, olivine pyroxene are p...

A common view of the thermal and shock histories of ordinary-chondrite (OC) parent bodies is that, for the most part, thermal and shock metamorphism were distinguishable and successive events; e.g., the decay of 26 Al heated chon-dritic planetesimals and subsequent impacts produced various shock effects. Although collisions have long been acknowledged as capable of producing significant heating...

The aim of this work was to delineate the prospects of podiform-type chromite by staged factor analysis and geochemical mineralization prospectivity index in Balvard area, SE Iran. The stream sediment data and fault density were used as the exploration features for prospectivity modeling in the studied area. In this regard, two continuous fuzzified evidence layers were generated and integrated ...

The present study was undertaken to improve the quality and increase the life time of magnesia-chromite refractory bricks used in the copper and lead industries. The results show that a decrease in the amount of large chromite particles in the formulation improves the thermomechanical properties and also reduces the slag penetration in the bricks. In addition it was also observed that the use o...
