Magnetite, pyrrhotite and pyrite are the most common oxide and sulfide phases within the mineralized zone in the Geita Hill deposit. Magnetite and texturally early varieties of pyrrhotite predate the gold mineralization (Fig. 2), but reaction rims indicate that these minerals interacted with the mineralizing fluids and their geochemistry could ...

The Sung Valley ultramafic–alkaline–carbonatite–complex (UACC) occurs as early Cretaceous intrusive body within the Proterozoic low-grade metapelites in the eastern Shillong Plateau, India. Carbonatites are the youngest unit of the UACC and occur as small dykes. The magmatic assemblage in the carbonatites consists of calcite, dolomite, …

Magnetite (Fe 3 O 4) was oxidized to hematite (Fe 2 O 3); however, it retained the shape of the original magnetite, which formed the current nano-microsphere hematite (Fig. 12). It was also believed that an intermediate process of thermal decomposition accompanies the oxidation of pyrite into pyrrhotite [ 44, 45 ].

A magnetite sample, FH3A, prepared using a low-temperature hydrothermal procedure (Heider et al. 1987), was included in the study as a representative of magnetites with low …

Pyrrhotite, a mineral of concern for the construction industry, consists of iron and sulfur, and when exposed to water and air, it can break down to form secondary minerals that expand and crack concrete, causing concrete structures, like home foundations, to fail. "This project was a bit unusual for us, because typically we're trying to …

pyrrhotite formed by in situ reduction of magnetite by pyrite and organic compounds; it could not have been formed by the large-scale introduction of reducing fluids, as isotopic …

Magnetic Properties of Pyrrhotite. Pyrrhotite is similar to another iron sulfide mineral named troilite. Troilite has a chemical composition of FeS, while pyrrhotite's chemical composition is Fe (1-x) S. Pyrrhotite is deficient in iron because some of the iron sites in its crystal lattice are vacant (empty). That is why the iron in the formula ...

References. Pyrite, also known as "fool's gold," is a common iron sulfide mineral with the chemical formula FeS2. It forms in a variety of geological settings through several processes. Formation: Pyrite forms …

The contamination of sulfur emanating from pyrrhotite in magnetite concentrates has been a problem in iron ore processing. This study utilized froth flotation to float pyrrhotite away from magnetite using collectors of xanthate and dixanthogen. It was found that xanthate or dixanthogen alone could not achieve selective separation between …

Primary sulfides include pyrrhotite and pentlandite. Most primary pentlandite grains contain some (2–5%) Cu, some contain substantial Co (up to 1·6%). ... Magnetite also occurs as a replacement of primary sulfide minerals. Sulfides and metals. Wairauite (FeCo) was found in samples 227R-3, 41–43 cm and 227R-3, 14–16 cm. Awaruite (Ni …

low-temperature formation of pyrrhotite from pyrite and magnetite under reducing conditions can be shown by detailed thermodynamic calculations. In turn, this result implies that pyrrhotite may form at the expense of magnetite under submetamorphic conditions in a reducing chemical environment, such as is commonly present in thick sedi-

We propose to bracket the magnetite-out and pyrrhotite-in temperatures in shales and slates from Taiwan and the Pyrenees by using a combination of low-temperature …

Clusters of magnetite crystals are sometimes recovered loose in the soils of the central core of the intrusion. Most attractive specimens come from the weathering of calcite-rich carbonatite. Individual magnetite crystals are 1 inch across. Brookite on smoky quartz has been collected in the Magnet Cove area since before 1850. Attractive large ...

It remains open to debate why awaruite would not acquire a similar CRM to the pyrrhotite. Magnetic phases will acquire a CRM if they grow in the presence of an external magnetic field. The CRM acquisition process is inherently poorly understood, and remains an active area of research. A particular problem is that laboratory approaches …

They are magnetite, ilmenite, and pyrrhotite. In addition, some very exotic minerals like magnetoplumbite, awaruite, and tetraferroplatinum are also noticeably magnetic. Magnetite; Magnetite (Fe2O3) is a ferrimagnetic mineral with the highest iron content (72.4%). Naturally magnetized variety of magnetite lodestone can be a magnet …

SUMMARY Magnetite and hematite are common iron-oxides, being found in sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous environments and being associated with a wide variety of deposits styles, including orogenic gold, iron-oxide

The E g of brookite deserves some attention: 41 for some time it has been unclear whether brookite was a direct or indirect semi-conductor. 6,42 An indirect band gap of 1.9 eV (i.e., in the visible) had been once reported for mineral brookite, 42 confirming the need of shedding some light on this subject, although the fact that mineral samples ...

Magnetite occurs in the serpentine and brucite veins and is identified as the dominant magnetic carrier by thermomagnetic and petrological analyses. The magnetic susceptibility increases rapidly from <0.001 to ~0.02 SI for the <50% serpentinized samples followed by nearly constant values of 0.02–0.03 SI above 50% serpentinization. This ...

Equilibrium concentrations of aqueous H{sub 2} and H{sub 2}S in the system composed of the pyrite-pyrrhotite-magnetite (PPM) buffer and water were measured at temperatures in the interval of 300-500{degree}C and pressures below 1 kbar, and the fugacity/concentration quotient of dilute aqueous H{sub 2}S was evaluated over the same P-T region.

The flotation recoveries of pyrrhotite and magnetite as a function of (a) pH (collector dosage: 2 × 10-4 mol/L) and (b) collector concentration (pH = ∼7.0). The influences of collector dosage on the flotation of the magnetite and pyrrhotite are shown in Fig. 4 b. As can be seen from it, the flotation recovery of pyrrhotite enhanced with the ...

The pyrite-pyrrhotite reaction leads to an increase of magnetic susceptibility and magnetization (i.e., M s and M rs) within the fault zones (Figure 2). The neoformed pyrrhotite, which results from thermal decomposition of pyrite and/or precipitation of coseismic hot fluids, would carry either a thermochemical or even a thermoremanent ...
