A brief account of the representative and workable industrial minerals namely magnesite, talc and barite in Lesser Himalaya, is presented here emphasizing their genesis. Deposits of magnesite and talc are found associated with Neoproterozoic, plateform type, shelf-slope limestone-dolomite host rocks from inner Lesser Himalayan sequences. Field, textural, geochemical signatures and fluid inclusi...

ultramafic rocks are essentially constituted by silicates of magnesium: forsterite, and/or diopside-enstatite; who’s the most common hydrothermal alteration are the serpentinization. to bou azzer, the serpentinisation affected almost all of the ultrabasic rocks. among the phenomena bound to the serpentinisation observed on the ground, we distinguish the magnesium deposits (carbonated serpentini...

Interstellar matter is known to be strongly irradiated by radiation and several types of cosmic ray particles. Simulated interstellar matter, such as forsterite Mg2SiO4, enstatite MgSiO3 and magnesite MgCO3 has been irradiated with the Co gamma-rays in liquid nitrogen, and also irradiated with fast neutrons at 10 K and 70 K by making use of the low-temperature irradiation facility of Kyoto Univ...

[1] Siderite (FeCO3) forms a complete solid solution with magnesite (MgCO3), the most likely candidate for a mantle carbonate. Our experiments with natural siderite reveal spin pairing of d-orbital electrons of Fe at 43 GPa, as evidenced by a sharp volume collapse of about 10%. The initially colorless crystals assume an intense green color after the transition, which progressively turns to red ...

the magnesite veins are located in the beni bousera massif (internal rif, morocco), especially in tafidest region about 103 km sw of the tetouan city. they are hosted by perridotite and serpentinite formations.  the aim of this study is to clarify the origin of this type of orre genesis. geochimical study of magnesite ore reveals that is a cryptocrystalline magnesite, formed by the co2-rich hyd...

Ophiolite magnesite deposits are among the main sources of magnesite, a raw material critical for EU. The present work focuses on occurrences at Kymasi (Evia Island, Greece), in close spatial association with chromitite within same peridotite massif, and relationship between ultramafic rocks late veins. Chromitite lenses hosted dunite, contact partially serpentinized cut by Close to veins, show...

There is increasing interest in source separation and treatment of urine so as to recover nitrogen and phosphate more efficiently than treating combined wastewater. Although previous studies primarily focused on struvite precipitation for the recovery of phosphorus, the composition of urine changes during storage. The present study compared the precipitation conditions for fresh urine and hydro...
