It is well known that the performance of thermoelectric measured by figure of merit ZT linearly depends on electrical conductivity, while it is quadratic related to the Seebeck coefficient, and the improvement of Seebeck coefficient may reduce electr...
SHRIMP (Sensitive high resolution ion microprobe) zircon U-Pb dating of the two main igneous rocks types in the Karkonosze Pluton, porphyritic and equigranular monzogranite, yield 206Pb/238U ages between 312.0 ± 2.9 and 306.9 ± 3.0 Ma....
In this article, for the transition metal-nitrogen ligand Mn-M@N6-C (M = Ag, Bi, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Hf, Ir, Mo, Nb, Ni, Os, Pd, Pt, Re, Rh, Ru, Sc, Ta, Tc, V, Y, Zn, Zr, Ti, W), by comparing the amount of change in the length of the N-N triple-bond,...
Molybdenite Re–Os and zircon U–Pb isotopic data are first obtained from the stockwork and disseminated-style gold-bearing ores and the fine-grained granite hosting these ores in the Xiawolong gold mine, respectively, which is located with...
A selective separation and recycling system for metal ions was developed by homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction (HoLLE) using a fluorosurfactant. Sixty-two different elemental ions (e.g., Ag, Al, As, Au, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Dy, Er...
The study of noble metal minerals of the Ural–Alaskan-type (UA-type) complexes has been traditionally focused on their platinum-bearing dunites and chromitites, while clinopyroxenites have been poorly considered. In this study, we report the fi...
This contribution provides an overview of platinum group elements (PGE) distribution and mineralogy in ophiolitic chromitites, which are unusually enriched in the low melting-point Rh, Pt and Pd (PPGE) compared with most chromite deposits associated...
The six platinum group elements (PGE) are among the rarest elements in the upper continental crust of the earth. Higher values of PGE have been detected in the upper mantle and in chondrite meteorites. The PGE are siderophile and chalcophile elements...
With the global movement toward the consumption of a more sustainable diet that includes a higher proportion of plant-based foods, it is important to determine how such a change could alter the intake of cadmium and other elements, both essential and...
