The formation and transformation of secondary minerals in areas affected by neutralized acid mine drainage (AMD) determine the behavior toxic elements. To better understand binding form elements minerals, we focused on distribution precipitates heavy metals AMD near a typical Cu-polymetallic deposit located central Tibet. Compared to background values, average metal (As, Cu, Co, Mo, Pb, Zn) con...

An unusual PFO(3)(2-)-templated "inverse Keggin" polyanion, [Mo(12)O(46)(PF)(4)](4-), has been isolated from the degradation reaction of an {Mo(132)}-type Keplerate to [PMo(12)O(40)](3-) by [Cu(MeCN)(4)](PF(6)) in acetonitrile. (31)P-NMR studies suggest a structure-directing role for [Cu(MeCN)(4)](+) in the formation of the highly unusual all-inorganic inverse Keggin structure.

Younger granite bodies form two arches, the western and eastern (WA, EA), which extend from south northwards Meatique, ophiolitic group-island arc rocks, to large older outcrop north. This paper concerns feasibility of exploration in El-Erediya-Ria El-Garah-El-Gidami-El-Missikat Y Gr regions. Fieldwork remote sensing, together with geochemical, petrochemical, mineralogical studies, are used sho...

This paper reviews the influence of alloying elements Mo, Nb, Ta and Ni on glass formation and corrosion resistance of Cu-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). In order to obtain basic knowledge for application to the industry, corrosion resistance of the Cu-Hf-Ti-(Mo, Nb, Ta, Ni) and Cu-Zr-Ag-Al-(Nb) bulk glassy alloy systems in various solutions are reported in this work. Moreover, X-ray photoe...

The USP has proposed using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) for determining heavy metals in drug articles to replace the USP <231> heavy metals test. While the current USP <231> procedure will detect Pb, Hg, Bi, As, Sb, Sn, Cd, Ag, Cu and Mo, the proposed method will test for Al, Sb, As, Be, B, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, In, Ir, Fe, Pb, Li, Mg, Mn, Hg, Mo, Ni, Os, Pd, Pt, Rh, Rb, Ru, Se, Sr, Tl, Sn, W and...

By using first principles calculations, it is found that the noble metal atoms Ag, Au and Cu would like to occupy the vacancy sites of the W(0 0 1) or Mo(0 0 1) surface to form the substitutional surface alloys, despite the fact that they do not like to form alloy in the bulk. The electronic local function (ELF) for these substitutional surface alloys shows that there is no obvious chemical bon...

A large number of intermediate basic volcanic rocks and porphyry Cu-Mo deposits as well volcanic-hosted magnetite deposit have been recently discovered in the Xilekuduk area. However, no reports concerning petrogenesis age or their relationship with mineralization published to date. The purpose this study was make up for absence previous studies on Devonian activities area confirm between two s...

Abstract Southwestern Sardinia, Italy, hosts several skarn, W–Sn–Mo greisen and hydrothermal deposits related to a 289±1 Ma Late Variscan granite suite. Among them, the most representative scheelite-bearing skarns belong San Pietro Sinibidraxiu localities, in Monte Tamara area, Sulcis region. The deposit is typical calc-silicate skarn whereas sharply bounded orebody hosted marble unit. Optical ...
