Sedimentary Copper mineralization has been observed in Monj and Jolany locations in Bavanat (Sanandaj – Sirjan metamorphic belt). According to current study, the host rocks for copper mineralization in this area are green sandstones, generally in subarkose and arkose groups. Age of these sandstones is middle Jurassic. Copper mineralization is observed in two forms, sulfides form including chalc...

Copper-cobalt deposits in the Central African Copperbelt belong to Sediment-Hosted Stratiform Copper (SHSC) type and are situated Neoproterozoic Katanga Supergroup. This paper describes detail geology, geochemistry hydrometallurgy of cobalt, with a special focus on Black Ore Mineralised Zone (BOMZ) unit from Ruashi Cu-Co deposit as case study. Based results fieldwork laboratory testing, it was ...

This study presents a special problem on vertical distribution for sediment and copper in hyper-concentrated turbulent solid-liquid system that is essentially different from the ordinary low-concentrated turbulent system. A resonance type turbulent simulation equipment is used for the experimental study in which a vertically uniform turbulent field of the mixture of loess and water is produced ...

Large stratiform, syngenetic deposits commonly yield galena-lead isotope 'model' ages that agree closely with the stratigraphic ages of their host rocks. However, analyses in Table 1 from stratiform,shale-hosted deposits (located on Fig. 701 of Cambrian to Devono-Mississippian age in or adjacent to the Selwyn Bar,in in British Columbia and Yukon Territory do not give reasonable ages if the mode...

In response to nuisance growths of algae and vascular plants, such as dioecious hydrilla ( Hydrilla verticillata L.f. Royle), copper formulations have been applied in lakes and reservoirs for a number of years. Concerns have arisen regarding the long-term consequences of copper applications and those concerns have appropriately focused on sediment residues. In this study, we evaluated the toxic...

An acute whole-sediment toxicity test with a benthic marine microalga was developed and optimized using flow cytometry to distinguish algae (based on their chlorophyll a autofluorescence) from sediment particles. Of seven benthic marine algae screened, the diatom Entomoneis cf punctulata was most suitable because of its tolerance of a wide range of water and sediment physicochemical parameters,...

Accumulation of Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb in the sediment of seagrass ecosystems was examined using mesocosm experiments containing Zostera marina (eelgrass) and reference pools. Lead was approximately 20-fold higher in the surface sediment in the eelgrass pool than in eelgrass leaves and epiphytes on the eelgrass leaves, whereas zinc and cadmium were significantly lower in the surface sediment than i...
