Abstract –– Tambang Sawah Area, Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province, is geologically located in the Barisan mountains and Sumatra fault zone. The prospect of area lies physiography central Sumatran ranges composed by igneous rocks Sunda – Banda magmatic arc. This study aimed to understand deposit geology ore characteristics gold at area. Quartz vein mineralization occurred granite rock intruded i...

In this work, the synthesis of ?-MnS/MnO/S-doped C micro-rod composites via a simple sulfidation process is demonstrated, starting from Mn-based metal-organic framework. The resulting heterostructured ?-MnS/MnO nanoparticles (8±2 nm) are uniformly embedded into S-doped carbonaceous porous framework with hierarchical micro-/meso-porosity. combination structural and compositional characteristics ...

Silver is the ideal material for plasmonics because of its low loss at optical frequencies but is often replaced by a more lossy metal, gold. This is because of silver's tendency to tarnish and roughen, forming Ag(2)S on its surface, dramatically diminishing optical properties and rendering it unreliable for applications. By passivating the surface of silver nanostructures with monolayer graphe...

Tertiary low sulfidation (LS) epithermal deposits in the western USA often show evidence of the former presence of nanoparticle-sized precious-metal and silica phases in the highest grade (bonanza) ores. Here, nanoparticles are defined to have a size less than ~10 m. The ore-mineral textures that formed from aggregation of nanoparticles (or colloids) observed to date in these ores include elect...

Magnetic sulfide-modified nanoscale zerovalent iron (S-nZVI) is of great technical and scientific interest because of its promising application in groundwater remediation, although its synthesis is still a challenge. We develop a new nanoparticle seeding method to obtain a novel and reactive nanohybrid, which contains an Fe(0) core covered by a highly sulfidized layer under high extent of sulfi...

The Lower Llandoverian metasedimentary series of the Prades Mountains, in southwestern Catalonia, Spain, consists of interbedded massive feldspar beds, composed of almost pure anorthite, with chert, phosphate beds, sulfide-rich black shale, massive sulfides and minor calc-silicate beds. The sulfides mainly consist of pyrrhotite with minor chalcopyrite. The metasedimentary rocks are anomalously ...
