Precise dating of prehistoric volcanic eruptions is essential for reconstructing eruption sequences and assessing volcanic hazards. The timing of the onset and termination of volcanic activity in the Xilinhot volcanic field (XVF) has been a topic of...

An association of bismuth sulfosalts coexisting with native gold is described from a sulfide-rich copper vein in the Nistru area, Baia Mare metallogenetic district, NW Romania. This mineralization is hosted within a Neogene calc-alkaline subvolcanic...

This study examines the geotechnical and hydro-mechanical behaviour of a model slurry used in high-solids, high-salinity applications, both before and after inline flocculation with an anionic polyacrylamide. Initial evaluations showed untreated tail...

Due to the restrictions of strong acids in some regions, the reuse process of rare earth (RE) precipitation mother liquor is difficult to carry out. To achieve the straightforward and efficient reuse of precipitation mother liquor in such areas, the...

Ion-adsorption rare earth element (REE) deposits are a major source of REEs and are found mainly in China. The formation of such deposits is affected by a combination of endogenic and exogenic factors. This study investigated the effect of micro-topo...

Three quartz-rich geologic materials—vein quartz from the Great Bear Magmatic Zone, massive quartz from the Nechalacho rare earth deposit, and quartz sands from the Chedabucto silica sand deposit along the shores of the Northern Arm of the Grea...

Analytical imaging via synchrotron analysis was used to study sagittal otoliths of four freshwater pipefish species exhibiting amphidromous or freshwater resident lifestyles. We undertook a hyperfine elemental scanning of a 25 μm diameter length area...

The gypsum crystals (CaSO4·2H2O) crystallizes in a low symmetry system (monoclinic) and shows a marked layered structure along with a perfect cleavage parallel to the {010} faces. Owing to its widespread occurrence, as a single or twinned crystal, he...

This research introduces selective milling as a reliable and effective initial concentration process to enable efficient separation and ensure high recovery rates of valuable and critical materials (minerals and metals) from processed incinerator bot...

The Shibaogou pluton, located in the Luanchuan orefield of western Henan Province in China, is a typical porphyritic granite within the Yanshanian “Dabie-type” Mo metallogenic system. It is mainly composed of porphyritic monzogranite and...
