the cheshin meta-calcareous rocks (permo triassic) in southeast hamedan outcrop in association with a variety of pelitic schists and hornfels rocks. the intrusion of the alvand batholith (jurassic age) into pelitic and calcareous host rocks has produced metamorphic rocks in the hamedan area (cheshin village). on the basis of the dominance of calcite/dolomite, silicate and ore minerals, the calc...

Silicate minerals are therefore isolated from the foodstuffs, mostly by a density separation step. In order not to obscure the TL, the isolated silicate minerals should be as free of organic constituents as possible. A first glow of the separated mineral extracts is recorded (Glow 1). Since various amounts and/or types of minerals (quartz, feldspar etc.) exhibit very variable integrated TL inte...

The processing mineralogy characteristics of an oxidized lead-zinc ore from Sichuan were studied systematically using numerous modern instruments. Results showed that lead and zinc oxide content in the ore exceeded the minimum industrial grade, and also included a relatively high concentration of silver and iron. This ore is composed of many different minerals. Major zinc-containing minerals in...

Accurate control of groundwater pH is of critical importance for in situ biological treatment of chlorinated solvents. This study evaluated a novel approach for buffering subsurface pH that relies on the use of silicate minerals as a long-term source of alkalinity. A screening methodology based on thermodynamic considerations and numerical simulations was developed to rank silicate minerals acc...

In chloroethene-contaminated sites undergoing in situ bioremediation, groundwater acidification is a frequent problem in the source zone, and buffering strategies have to be implemented to maintain the pH in the neutral range. An alternative to conventional soluble buffers is silicate mineral particles as a long-term source of alkalinity. In previous studies, the buffering potentials of these m...

the lead and zinc sample from goosh-e-fill mine with 2.4%pb, 8.0%zn and 10.0% fe, was used in different flotation experiments to recover lead and zinc minerals. the valuable minerals in prepared sample were oxidized and the results showed that the lead minerals floated at ph= 9.5 and 11.5, probably it can be due to existence of two or more types of lead minerals. the best result was achieved fo...

introduction the avan cu-fe skarn is located at the southern margin of qaradagh batholith, about 60 km north of tabriz. the skarn-type metasomatic alteration is the result of qaradagh batholith intrusion into the upper cretaceous impure carbonates. the studied area belongs to the central iranian structural zone. in regional scale, the studied area is a part of the zangezour mineralization zone ...
