In order to improve our understanding of how the goethite crystal structure is affected by the incorporation of metals (and by variations in the amount of the incorporation), and to review any possible synergistic and antagonistic effects of co-metals, the present investigation focused on the incorporation of multiple (di-, tri-, and tetra-) …
A total of 23 Zn-Pb orebodies have been discovered in the slate and dolostone of the Heishan Formation. These orebodies mainly occur as stratiform veins (Fig. 2 C; Fig. 3 A) that cut through the slate bedding (Fig. 4 A) or fill fractures within the host rock, occasionally forming a stockwork ore (Fig. 4 B).The dimensions of the orebodies …
Zn-Pb-Ag mineral deposits are the products of hydrothermal ore-forming systems, which are restricted in time and space. In Australia, these deposits formed during three main periods at ~2.95, 1.69 to 1.58, and 0.50 to 0.35 Ga. The 1.69 to 1.58 Ga event, which accounts for over 65 percent of Australia's Zn, was triggered by accretion and ...
The U-Pb geochronologic system has certain advantages over many other single-decay systems such as sulfide Rb-Sr and Re-Os, as lead has four naturally occurring stable isotopes 204 Pb, 206 Pb, 207 Pb, and 208 Pb, with the latter three decaying from 238 U, 235 U and 232 Th, respectively. Two or three standalone decay systems can be …
Dengjiashan, with 25 Mt at 4.77% Zn, 1.27% Pb, and 14 g/t Ag, is one of the largest SEDEX (sedimentaryexhalative) Zn–Pb sulfide deposits in the western Qinling orogenic belt, China. The ore is hosted in chert stratigraphically conformable with underlying bioclastic micrite and overlying phyllite of an intensely folded and faulted Middle ...
Question: Consider only the species (at standard conditions) Na^+, Cl^-, Ag^+, Ag, Zn^2+, Zn, Pb in answering the following questions. Give reasons for your answers. (Use data from Table 18.1.) a. Which is the strongest oxidizing agent? b. Which is the strongest reducing agent? c. Which species can be oxidized by SO_4^2- (aq) in acid? d.
To investigate and evaluate the spatial distribution of Zn, Pb and Cd in the soil around a municipal solid waste incineration plant and its ecological risks, Zn, Pb and Cd were analyzed in soil samples around a municipal solid waste incineration plant in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. The results revealed that the average content of Zn and Pb …
From the Middle Ages until the beginning of the twentieth century, extensive Zn–Pb mining and smelting was carried out in East-Belgium. By lack of waste treatment techniques and sustainable management practices, metal-bearing slags and unprocessed waste were dumped in huge tailings, which still represent an important source of …
The parameters of soil used in the course of experiments are presented in Table 1.Soil collected from Piekary Śląskie with garden soil in the mixture of 1:1 had a pH of 6.90 and was enriched in Cd (22.46 mg kg −1 DW), Pb (615 mg kg −1 DW), and Zn (1822 mg kg −1 DW). The results indicate that the level of the total metal content for the three …
The Zn-Pb deposits occurring in carbonate rocks from late Ediacaran to Early Permian in Sichuan–Yunnan–Guizhou (SYG) provinces, such as Huize, Maozu and Tianbaoshan deposits, account for about 27 % of Zn and Pb production in China. Previous studies have suggested that the carbonate-hosted Zn-Pb deposits basically belong to …
Comprehensive utilization of pyrite cinders is increasingly important because of their huge annual outputs and potential valuable metals recovery to cope with the gradual depletion of high-grade mineral resources. In this work, a new process, i.e., a high-temperature chlorination–magnetizing roasting–magnetic separation process, was …
Aripuanã is a Paleoproterozoic (1.76-1.75 Ga), stratiform, volcanogenic Zn-Pb-Ag-(Au-Cu) massive sulfide deposit, has an estimated resource of 11.6 million metric tons (Mt) of ore, and is located on the south-southwest border of the Amazon craton (Brazil). Aripuanã resides in a caldera composed of strongly fractionated, felsic …
There are giant gold deposits such as Muruntau, Kumtor and Kalmakyr, world-class copper deposits such as Kalmakyr and Dal'neye, and super-large zinc-lead deposits such as Tekeli in western Tianshan forming a giant Au-Cu-Zn-Pb metallogenic belt, attracting the attention from the world. Yet it is hoped to find gold, copper and zinc-lead deposits significantly in …
In this study the effects of heavy metals were investigated in Phragmites australis plants. Effects of different concentrations of Zn (30.6, 76.5 μM), Cu (31.5, 78.7 μM), Cd (4.4, 17.6 μM) and Pb (10.0, 22.5 μM), simultaneously applied to the seedlings, were detected by measuring changes in their concentrations, antioxidants enzymes, …
The Beishan Pb–Zn deposit is located 47 km northwest of Huanjiang County, north of Hechi City, Guangxi (Fig. 1 a, b), and includes several mineralized occurrences developed in mining areas, such as Shangchao, Huada, and Caixiu.The Beishan Pb–Zn deposit has a history of discovering native siderite when searching for Fe mineralization …
The Chinese Altay orogen in the northern margin of Xinjiang (NW China) is an important part of the CAOB (Fig. 1 b).The orogen contains four tectonic units, including (from NW to SE) (Chen et al., 2012): (1) the Late Devonian–Early Carboniferous Nurt volcanic basin developed on a pre-Devonian crystalline basement; (2) the Keketuohai …
