To reveal the genesis of Makeng-style iron polymetallic deposits from SE China in paleo-Pacific tectonic domain, a new analytical method LA-ICPMS garnet U-Pb dating and rare Earth element analysis was conducted for Makeng, Luoyang, Dapai Pantian deposits. The results nine skarn samples these suggested that mainly formed during 137–130 Ma, which is consistent with zircon molybdenite Re-Os ages. ...

bentonite deposits of economic interest are widespread in tashtab mountains (khur), east of isfahan province, iran. several bentonite deposits have been developed in this area as a result of eocene volcanic alteration. these deposits are classified as khur bentonite horizon. xrd analyses reveal that alteration products consist of na-montmorillonite, kaolinite, quartz, calcite, and crystobalite....

A large-scale trial embankment provided with partially penetrating prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) was installed in consolidating marine clay deposits at East-Port said industrial zone project Egypt. The constructed a bottom area of 150x150m and height 5.5m to evaluate the efficiency improvement system verify design parameters. An intensive instrumentation built-up including shallow settlem...

The Alligator Rivers Uranium Field (ARUF) includes the mined and unmined Jabiluka, Ranger, Koongarra and Nabarlek unconformity-related uranium deposits and several small prospects including the newly discovered King River prospect. Uranium mineralisation is hosted by a variety of metamorphosed Nimbuwah Domain lithologies that are unconformably overlain by the Kombolgie Subgroup, a basin package...

introduction the central alborz in eastern mazandaran province is host to the most important carbonate-hosted fluorite deposits in iran, such as pachi-miana, sheshroodbar, era and kamarposht. in these deposits, mineralization occurs in the upper parts of the middle triassic elika formation (vahabzadeh et al., 2009 and references therein). these deposits have long been studied, and various model...

Abstract Magnetite is a common mineral in the Paleoproterozoic Stollberg Zn–Pb–Ag plus magnetite ore field (~6.6 Mt of production), which occurs 1.9 Ga metamorphosed felsic and mafic rocks. Mineralisation at consists bodies massive to semi-massive sphalerite–galena pyrrhotite (with subordinate pyrite, chalcopyrite, arsenopyrite magnetite) hosted by metavolcanic rocks skarn. sulfides, skarn, amp...

Thermally sprayed coatings are intrinsically associated with residual stresses in the deposits. These stresses are varied in nature and magnitude, and have a pronounced effect on the mechanical behavior of the system. In the current study, WC-12Co coatings were deposited using HVOF thermal spraying. The sin2ψ method was used to evaluate the through thickness residual stress by means ...

This paper describes occurrences of low grade, disseminated gold in sedimentary rocks and alkalic intrusions in the vicinity of the Howell Creek Structure (HCS; Price,1964) of southeastern British Columbia. The study is part of the B.C. Geological Survey’s ongoing Sediment-hosted Gold Project, which is examining occurrences throughout the province which may have similarities to gold deposits in...

Nanoscience and technology have grown explosively in the last decades, because of various synthesis procedures and characterization techniques [1]. From the nineteenth century, carbon nanoparticles are one among the blooming fields of research and have been in constant limelight since then, due to its unique physical and chemical properties, making it a whole host of applications ranging from c...

To assist transport modeling in assessments of the radiological impact of a geological repository for radioactive wastes, the mobility of various elements was studied in arable and wetland soils in the Forsmark region, Sweden. Pore water and total element contents were determined for five types of unconsolidated deposits (regolith), spanning a wide range of soil properties with respect to pH an...
