Photon interaction effective atomic number (Z eff ) for partial as well as total photon interaction processes has been computed using logarithmic interpolation method for seven different concretes viz. (i) Ordinary, (ii) Hematite Serpentine, (iii) Ilmenite Limonite, (iv) Basalt magnetite, (v) Ilmenite, (vi) Steel scrap and (vii) Steel magnetite concrete in the wide energy range from 10.0 keV to...

Singleand reflected-shock compression measurements on single-crystal i menite (FeTiO3) to pressures of 635 and 930 kbar, respectively, demonstrate anomalously large compressions above 4320 kbar and imply the onset of one or more major phase changes at this pressure level which continue to occur to at least 4600 kbar. The phase change onset pressure is considerably above the calculated upper bou...

Introduction: Water ice and ilmenite both have unique dielectric responses that can be used to detect their concentration as a function of depth, noninvasively from the lunar surface. Electrical measurements at the surface can also be used to determine the density of the lunar regolith. Subsurface water ice may exist in permanently shadowed regions near the poles of the Moon [1-6]. The presence...

The natural remanent magnetisation of a crystal of South Norwegian hemoilmenite rock has been studied using neutron scattering to obtain knowledge on the sample’s origin-deposit’s contribution to magnetic anomalies of the Earth’s magnetic field. The sample consists of an ilmenite host (paramagnetic) with exsolution lamellae of hematite (canted antiferromagnetic), thereby having a large area of ...

microwave energy has potential for the efficient heating of minerals. minerals or materials, which couple to microwave energy are called dielectrics and many valuable minerals are found to be dielectric. the mineral ilmenite is one which shows good dielectric heating characteristics. in this paper, the effect of microwave heat energy on the partial reduction of oxidized ilmenite oxidized in ...

  Abstract   The effect of mechanical activation using an attrition mill on the particle size of an ilmenite concentrate and its effect on the ability of the concentrate for Iron separation during hydrochloric acid leaching and the kinetics of the dissolution process have been investigated. It was observed that mechanical activation in an attritor significantly enhances the dissolution of iron ...

The aim of this work was to synthesize TiC reinforced coating on carbon steel via reduction of ilmenite powder. A mixture of ilmenite and graphite was pre-placed on AISI 1020 steel surface. The effect of the addition of excess graphite amounts on the progress of synthesis of carbide particles was studied. The evolution of phases in different coatings was analysed via X-ray diffraction and scann...

We report the first natural occurrence of the Fe-analogue of akimotoite, ilmenite-structured MgSiO3, a missing phase among the predicted high-pressure polymorphs of Fe-pyroxene, with the composition (Fe2+0.48Mg0.37Ca0.04Na0.04Mn2+0.03Al0.03Cr3+0.01)Σ=1.00Si1.00O3. The new mineral was approved by the International Mineralogical Association (IMA 2016-085) and named hemleyite in honour of Russell ...
