Mineralization and associated fluid migration events in the c . 1500 km 2 North Pennine Orefield (NPO) are known to be with tectonic activity, but age of these origins base metal sulfide mineralization remain unresolved. New fieldwork Alston Block shows that post-dates a weakly developed phase north–south shortening consistent far-field Variscan basin inversion during late Carboniferous. observ...

Abstract The Herberton Mineral Field in Northeast Australia hosts world class magmatic-hydrothermal Sn–W polymetallic deposits that are enriched In. Baal Gammon and Isabel from the contains early tin, as cassiterite, overprinted by sulfide mineralization chalcopyrite, sphalerite, galena, pyrrhotite, stannite. We investigated distribution of In ores these two deposits, calculated temperature for...

Large constructed wetlands, known as stormwater treatment areas (STAs), have been deployed to remove phosphorus (P) in drainage waters before discharge into the Everglades in South Florida, USA. Their P removal performance depends on internal P cycling under typically hydrated, but with occasionally desiccated, conditions. We examined the spatial and temporal P removal capacity under different ...

A novel sulfate-reducing bacterium isolated from fuel-contaminated subsurface soil, strain PRTOL1, mineralizes toluene as the sole electron donor and carbon source under strictly anaerobic conditions. The mineralization of 80% of toluene carbon to CO2 was demonstrated in experiments with [ring-U-14C]toluene; 15% of toluene carbon was converted to biomass and nonvolatile metabolic by-products, p...

Experimental data and simulations were used to investigate the seasonal coupling between carbon, nitrogen and oxygen cycles in marine sediments from a eutrophic shallow lagoon in the Mediterranean Sea area. A negative seasonal correlation was observed between oxygen consumption and coupled nitrification–denitrification rates in surface sediments. Elevated values of oxygen consumption rates were...

Various methods can be used to evaluate in situ volumetric water content; however, when continuous measurements are required, only dielectric methods can be used. For equipment based on these methods, in the mining environment and particularly in environments having high sulfide contents (or acid-generating minerals), the accuracy of measurements can be affected by the chemistry of the solid an...
