| 1 | End-Permian catastrophic event of marine acidification by hydrated sulfuric acid:Mineralogical evidence from Meishan Section of South China显示文摘The event Permian-Triassic boundary (EPTB) is well marked by the famous 'white clay' of bed 25 in Mei-shan Section located in Changxing county, Zhejiang province of China. In this note, the white clay as well as its overlying and underlying sequences is investigated particularly for mineralogical records. The investigation yields three findings that contribute to better understanding the scenario of the EPTB mass extinction. (i) A red goethite-rich microlayer (0.3 mm) is first recognized to be horizontally widespread on the base of the white clay in the section. The microlayer should be considered as a macro geochemical indicator naturally tracing a catastrophic initiation at the EPTB. (ii) An interruption of marine carbonate deposition is discovered due to blank of carbonate minerals in the white clay. The discovery provides significant evidence of a marine acidification event that would occur in the paleo-ocean with marine acidity estimated at pH<4.0 at least and be triggered by the ultimate | LIANG HandongKey Laboratory of Coal Resources, China University of Mining and Technology, Beijing 100083, China (e-mail: hdl6688@sina.com) | 2002 | Chinese Science Bulletin2002,47,16: | 21 |
| 2 | 铁成分对硫化锌精矿的半导体性质及化学反应性的影响显示文摘硫化锌精矿(以下简称精矿)除含有主要元素锌与硫外,还含有其它元素,尤其是含有相当多的铁。在湿法处理精矿时,其铁成分的行为取决于铁的矿物存在形式。精矿中的铁可以铁闪锌矿[(Zn,Fe)S)、黄铁矿、黄铜矿的形式存在。铁闪锌矿的铁含量可在很大的范围内变化,其物理化学性质也随铁含量而变化,因此对精矿的湿法直接处理产生很大的影响。本文研究出一种可靠的、确定精矿矿物组成的化学分析方法,着重于测定铁在精矿各矿物中的分布,及铁闪锌矿铁含量的变化规律。在此基础上,实验研究了精矿中的铁(尤其是铁闪锌矿中的铁)对精矿的半导体性质的影响规律,应用半导体电化学原理讨论了精矿铁含量对精矿的直接浸出(常压、硫酸介质)的影响机理。 | 熊小勇 Michelle JACOB-DULERE | 1989 | 有色金属1989,41,4: | 6 |
| 3 | The effect of interaction between Bacillus subtilis DBM and soil minerals on Cu(Ⅱ) and Pb(Ⅱ) adsorption显示文摘The effects of interaction between Bacillus subtilis DBM and soil minerals on Cu(Ⅱ)and Pb(Ⅱ)adsorption were investigated.After combination with DBM,the Cu(Ⅱ)and Pb(Ⅱ)adsorption capacities of kaolinite and goethite improved compared with the application of the minerals independently.The modeling results of potentiometric titration data proved that the site concentrations of kaolinite and goethite increased by 80%and 30%,respectively after combination with DBM.However,the involvement of functional groups in the DBM/mineral combinations resulted in lower concentrations of observed sites than the theoretical values and led to the enhancement of desorption rates by NH_4NO_3 and EDTA-Na_2.The DBM-mineral complexes might also help to prevent heavy metals from entering DBM cells to improve the survivability of DBM in heavy metal-contaminated environments.During the combination process,the extracellular proteins of DBM provided more binding sites for the minerals to absorb Cu(Ⅱ)and Pb(Ⅱ).In particular,an especially stable complexation site was formed between goethite and phosphodiester bonds from EPS to enhance the Pb(Ⅱ)adsorption capacity.So,we can conclude that the DBM–mineral complexes could improve the Cu(Ⅱ)and Pb(Ⅱ)adsorption capacities of minerals and protect DBM in heavy metal-contaminated environments. | Jun Bai Yuanqing Chao Yanmei Chen Shizhong Wang Rongliang Qiu | 2019 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2019,31,4: | 4 |
| 4 | A novel graphene oxide-carbon nanotubes anchored α-FeOOH hybrid activated persulfate system for enhanced degradation of Orange Ⅱ显示文摘Persulfate activation has been applied as one of the efficient advanced oxidation processes(AOPs) to remediate polluted environments. In this study, a novel α-FeOOH anchored by graphene oxide(GO)-carbon nanotubes(CNTs) aerogel(α-FeOOH@GCA) nanocomposite activated persulfate system(α-FeOOH@GCA + K2S2O8) was applied for decolorization of Orange Ⅱ(OⅡ). The decolorization of OⅡ was remarkably enhanced to a level of ~ 99% in this system compared with that of pristine α-FeOOH(~ 44%) or GO-CNTs(~18%). The enhanced catalytic activity of α-FeOOH@GCA was due to the formation of a heterojunction byα-FeOOH and GO-CNTs as confirmed by the presence of Fe–O–C chemical bonds. The degradation intermediates of OⅡ were comprehensively identified. The proposed degradation pathway of OⅡ begins with the destruction of the conjugated structures of OⅡ by the dominant reactive oxygen species, surface-bound SO4·-. The decolorization efficiency of OⅡ by the α-FeOOH@GCA activated persulfate system decreased from the first to third cycle of recycling. Ultraviolet(UV) irradiation or introduction of a small amount of Fe2+ could restore the activation of this system. The results show that the α-FeOOH@GCA persulfate activation system promises to be a highly efficient environmental remediation method for organic pollutants. | Shanshan Su Yuyang Liu Wei He Xianchun Tang Wei Jin Yaping Zhao | 2019 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2019,31,9: | 4 |
| 5 | Study on kinetics of thermal decomposition of low LOI goethetic hematite iron ore显示文摘In the present study, the kinetics of thermal decomposition of hydrated minerals associated in natural hematite iron ores has been investigated in a fixed bed system using isothermal methods of kinetic analysis. Hydrated minerals in these hematite iron ores are kaolinite, gibbsite and goethite, which contribute to the loss on ignition(LOI) during thermal decomposition. Experiments in fixed bed have been carried out at variable bed depth(16, 32, 48 and 64 mm),temperature(400-1200 ℃) and residence time(30,45, 60 and 75 min) for iron ore samples. It is observed that beyond a certain critical bed depth(16 mm), 100% removal of LOI is not found possible even at higher temperature and higher residence time. Most of the solid-state reactions of isothermal kinetic analysis have been used to analyze the reaction mechanism. The raw data are modified to yield fraction reacted 'α' versus time and used for developing various forms of 'α' functions.f(α) is the inverse of first derivative of g(α) with respect to α. The study demonstrates that decomposition of hydrated mineral in hematite follows the chemical kinetics.The estimated activation energy values in all the experimental situations are found to high, of the order of 60 kJ/mol, reinstating that the reactions are indeed controlled by moving phase boundary and random nucleation. | Beuria P.C.

| 6 | Comparison of sintering performance of typical specular hematite ores with distinct size distributions显示文摘The sintering performance of three typical specular hematite ores(coarse SO-A,intermediate SO-B and ultrafine SO-C)was compared in an industrial ore blend through pilot-scale sinter pot tests.The effect of particle size of specular hematite ores on their granulation and sintering performance was revealed.Compared with the coarse SO-A fine and ultrafine SO-C concentrate,the intermediate SO-B showed inferior granulation and sintering performance characterized with poorer bed permeability and productivity,lower sinter strength and higher fuel rates.A new material preparation method was hence proposed and verified at both pilot and industrial scales.The proposed method by mixing SO-B with a high amount of goethitetype iron ore fines was found to be an effective way in improving the granulation and assimilative characteristics of ore blend comprising 31%intermediate SO-B,leading to improved sinter productivity and lowered fuel rates.The metallurgical properties and microstructure of sinters were also investigated.The sinters obtained through the proposed preparation method were generally stronger and more reducible on account of better sinter structure with more relict hematite ultimately connected with needle-like silico-ferrite of calcium and aluminum and lower porosity. | Cong-cong Yang De-qing Zhu Ben-jing Shi Jian Pan Li-ming Lu Xiao-bo Li Ya-ping Mo | 2017 | Journal of Iron and Steel Research(International)2017,24,10: | 3 |
| 7 | Chemical states of phosphorus adsorbed on goethite surfaces at various phosphate concentrations显示文摘Phosphorus (P) is one of the three most important elements that support the growth of crops. The fixation of P by iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) oxides is a main reason for low phosphorus efficiency in variable charge soils.

| 8 | Incorporation of silica into the goethite structure: a microscopic and spectroscopic study显示文摘Quartz and iron(hydr)oxide are reactive surface phases that are often associated with one another in soils and sediments. Despite the several studies on the coating of quartz with iron oxides, the reactivity of dissolved species(Si) leached from quartz with iron(hydr)oxides has received limited attention. In this study, goethite synthesized on quartz substrates were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy, and Fouriertransform infrared(FT-IR) spectroscopy. The SEM characterization revealed that bundles of thin parallel aligned goethite rods were formed at p H [ 10, while large pseudohexagonal crystals of twinned goethite needles were synthesized at p H B 10 after dehydration and hydration in the alkaline media. TEM analysis showed expanded and distorted lattice spacing of the crystal structure of iron(hydr)oxide due to silica incorporation. The characterization showed that silica increased the crystallite size of the goethite and transformed its acicular texture to a larger,twinned needle structure. FT-IR and XRD analyses revealed band shifts in crystal bonds as well as new bond formations, which indicate the presence of changes in the chemical environment of Fe–O and Si–O bonds. Thus, the presence of sorbed silicates modifies the crystal and lattice structure of goethite. | Abdullah Musa Ali Eswaran Padmanabhan Hassan Baioumy | 2018 | Acta Geochimica2018,37,6: | 1 |
| 9 | Speciation and Mobility of Arsenic in Agricultural Lime Speciation显示文摘Agricultural liming materials are often applied to the adjustment of soil acidity and the improvement of plant growth and microbial functionality.Relatively low-grade agricultural lime was found to contain up to 125 mg/kg arsenic(As),which is above any fertilizing materials’ toxicity threshold limit.Several techniques were employed to determine the speciation of the arsenic.Results from microprobe analyses suggest that minor minerals such as black and brown dendrites are the source of high arsenic concentrations in the samples.X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy provided further information that ferrihydrite and crystalline goethite are responsible for hosting the high concentration of arsenic with Fe/As molar ratio in around 100.A five-step sequential extraction demon- | Michael Kersten | 2009 | 地学前缘2009,16,S1: | 0 |
| 10 | Raman Spectroscopic Core Scanning for Iron Ore Characterisation显示文摘Automated core scanning technologies for mineralogical characterisation of diamond core, drill chips pulps is now an established technique, particularly in the Australian iron ore industry, for mineral analysis in exploration and mining. Application of reflectance spectroscopy over the 400–2500 nm, visible to near-infrared wavelength range, has been used to characterise the iron ore oxide mineralogy of bedded iron deposit (BID) derived iron ores in India (Thangavelu et al., 2011) and Brazil (da Costa et al., 2009), and used to define the ore and gangue (e.g., clay) mineralogy in ironstone or channel iron deposits (CID) in the Pilbara region of Western Australia (e.g., Haest et al., 2012). | Wells M A Ramanaidou E R | 2013 | 矿物学报2013,33,S1: | 0 |
| 11 | Using Goethite as a Heterogeneous Fenton Catalyst for The Removal of Tetracycline Hydrochloride: Effects of Its Adsorptive and Reductive Activities显示文摘The removal of the antibiotic compound tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) was investigated by using goethite/H2O2 as a heterogeneous Fenton reagent. Five principle operational parameters, especially solution pH value, were taken into account to investigate how the heterogeneous Fenton process factors mediated the TC removal. This process was effective but seriously impacted by the pH value and temperature, as well as the dosages of α-FeOOH, TC and H2O2. Very interestingly, the acidic and alkaline aqueous medium conditions were both very favorable due to the occurrence of transformation of Fe(III) to Fe(II) on goethite surfaces reduced by TC at pH 3.0~4.0 even though with a low adsorption capacity of TC because its maximum adsorption of negatively charged form occurred at pH around 8.0[1], thereby greatly promoting the TC Fenton oxidative elimination. However, a rapid initial TC decay was observed at the first 5 min, followed by a much slower retardation stage, which was likely because the reductive transformation of Fe(III) to Fe(II) by TC in the solution was inhibited as the Fenton reaction proceeded. Moreover, the hydroxyl radical scavenger t-butanol addition can decrease the removal rate of TC in the goethite/H2O2 system to a certain extent. This further indicated that the main reactive species in this process were hydroxyl radicals[2]. All the goethite-catalysed heterogeneous Fenton reactions are responsible for the TC removal following the Langmuir-Hinshelwood model, were well fitted to pseudo-first order kinetics (R2>0.99), and their apparent activation energy (E) for this Fenton-like reaction was 31.86 kJ mol 1, a low value that is highly consistent with the ease of TC decay greatly enhanced by the temperature rise, indicated that the interfacial controlling interactions such as a proton induced solubilization and a reductive dissolution of goethite can clearly improve its Fenton catalytic activity[3], and these dissolution processes may not be effective in some cases, while the TC adsorption process may always play an important role to control the TC removal rate during the Fenton reaction. | WU Honghai JIANG Fenfen GUAN Yufeng CHEN Xiaoling | 2013 | 矿物学报2013,33,S1: | 0 |
| 12 | Biomass Roasting Reduction of Goethite Ores显示文摘Effective use of low-grade goethite ores in steel industry is necessary to achieve cost reduction and solve the problem of resource shortage. Biomass as heating and reducing agent attract much more attention for utilization in ironmaking process due to its low-carbon, energy-saving, emission-cutting and low-cost. We investigate three types of biomass (corn straw, pine sawdust, rice husk powders) roasting reduction mechanism and the magnetism of the roasting products. Structure analysis indicates that 15% dosage of each biomass mixed with goethite ores roasting at 550-600 °C for 1h could be effectively converted into strong magnetic product, i.e. maghemite (γ-Fe2O3). Weak magnetic separation shows that under the magnetic field of 200 kA/m, goethite ores roasted by 15% of pine sawdust could achieve TFe 61.64% with the recovery of 79.75%, TFe 61.75% with the recovery of 80.16% for roasting with rice husk, and TFe 61.47% with the recovery of 81.28% for roasting with corn straw. | WU Yan LI Yonghuo YANG Xiang XIAO Wending YANG Mei ZHANG Ping BAO Zhengyu | 2013 | 矿物学报2013,33,S1: | 0 |
| 13 | A mechanistic study of ciprofloxacin adsorption by goethite in the presence of silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles显示文摘The adsorption behaviors of ciprofloxacin(CIP),a fluoroquinolone antibiotic,onto goethite(Gt)in the presence of silver and titanium dioxide nanoparticles(AgNPs and TiO_(2)NPs)were investigated.Results showed that CIP adsorption kinetics in Gt with or without NPs both followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic model.The presence of AgNPs or TiO_(2)NPs inhibited the adsorption of CIP by Gt.The amount of inhibition of CIP sorption due to AgNPs was decreased with an increase of solution pH from 5.0 to 9.0.In contrast,in the presence of TiO_(2)NPs,CIP adsorption by Gt was almost unchanged at pHs of 5.0∼6.5 but was decreased with an increase of pH from 6.5 to 9.0.The mechanisms of AgNPs and TiO_(2)NPs in inhibiting CIP adsorption by Gt were different,which was attributed to citrate coating of AgNPs resulting in competition with CIP for adsorption sites on Gt,while TiO_(2)NPs could compete with Gt for CIP adsorption.Additionally,CIP was adsorbed by Gt or TiO_(2)NPs through a tridentate complex involving the bidentate inner-sphere coordination of the deprotonated carboxylic group and hydrogen bonding through the adjacent carbonyl group on the quinoline ring.These findings advance our understanding of the environmental behavior and fate of fluoroquinolone antibiotics in the presence of NPs. | Jie Tang Yun Wang Qiang Xue Fei Liu Kenneth CCarroll Xiaohua Lu Taogeng Zhou Dengjun Wang | 2022 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2022,34,8: | 0 |
| 14 | Destruction and removal efficiency of PICs by various iron ores during sintering-exploratory testing显示文摘Worldwide,iron ore sintering is the largest industrial single source of dioxin emissions1-3.Conversely, some ores may help in reducing emissions,because of their aptitude of(a) adsorbing and(b) oxidising or decomposing TOC and dioxins4,5.Such dioxin abatement abilities were tested for five types of ores,representing major ore origins(Australia,Brazil,and South Africa ),minerals(magnetite,haematite,goethite,pisolite ),and properties,e.g.porosity,and Loss on Ignition(LOI) values.In total,11 exploratory experimental runs were conducted on iron ores,to test the oxidation in air of four different organic trace test substances:acetone, chloroform,n-hexane,and toluene contained in a test gas were led simultaneously over the ore over a preestablished temperature program.Each test comprehends a first part with a programmed temperature rise,a brief soaking period at the temperature maximum(>400℃),and a ballistic cooling part.The concentration of the four organics is continuously monitored by Mass Spectrometry(MS) operating in a full-scan mode(m/e < 100). Exploratory experiments allowed differentiating the ores tested according to the Destruction & Removal Efficiency(DRE) attained.To check the results the products of oxidation in the effluent were sampled on Tenax and identified.Also,the dioxin load remaining on several test residues was examined and found to be quite limited (pg I-TEQ/g). | Alfons Georges BUEKENS Joeri DENAYER Guy REGGERS Robert CARLEER Damien DEBECKER Moo Been CHANG | 2010 | Baosteel Technical Research2010,4,S1: | 0 |
| 15 | Microbial reduction and migration of As/Fe mediated by electron shuttle:Differences between incorporated and adsorbed As(V)显示文摘Metal-reducing bacteria play a central and important role in the biogeochemical cycle of arsenic(As)and iron(Fe).Research on As/Fe migration from arsenic-containing iron minerals mediated by electronic shuttles is of significance to groundwater protection and human health.Further,the redox activity and bioavailability of goethite with differing occurrence and distribution of arsenic have not been studied clearly.In this study,the function of electron shuttle AQDS in Fe(III)bioreduction was determined.It was found that acidic conditions were conducive to the growth and reproduction of strain D2201,which was beneficial to the reduction of As(V)/Fe(III).The OD600nm value of the bacteria at pH 6 exceeded twice that at pH 8.Then,three types of goethite,namely pure goethite(Gt),coprecipitated As(V)-goethite(Gt-As),and adsorbed arsenic-goethite(Gt*As),were compared for microbial reduction reactivity.X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis illustrated the proportion of OH-content in Gt-As was much lower than that of Gt and Gt*As,indicating Gt-As carried more surface defects and had higher bioavailability.The Fe(II)content released from AQDS-mediated bioreduction of Gt-As was two-fold higher than that of Gt and Gt*As at pH 7.In addition,pH significantly affected goethite bioreduction efficiency and arsenic migration degree.The dissolved Fe(II)concentration for Gt-As was 0.98,0.133,and 0.139 mM at pH 6,7,and 8,respectively;corresponding to dissolved As(T)content of 3.51,1.48,and 1.31μM within 9 days of culture.This study highlights the significant influence of AQDS and mineral structure on the As/Fe biochemical cycle,which will help further develop the bioremediation of arsenic-contaminated sediments. | Jia Wang Zuoming Xie Yanxin Wang Yang Yang Mengna Chen | 2022 | Water Biology and Security2022,1,2: | 0 |
| 16 | Effects of phosphate on the transport of graphene oxide nanoparticles in saturated clean and iron oxide-coated sand columns显示文摘In this study, transport behaviors of graphene oxide(GO) in saturated uncoated(i.e., clean sand) and goethite-coated sand porous media were examined as a function of the phosphate. We found that phosphate enhanced the transport of GO over a wide range of solution chemistry(i.e., pH 5.0–9.0 and the presence of 10 mmol/L Na^(+) or 0.5 mmol/L Ca^(2+)). The results were mainly ascribed to the increase of electrostatic repulsion between nanoparticles and porous media. Meanwhile, deposition site competition induced by the retained phosphate was another important mechanism leading to promote GO transport. Interestingly, when the phosphate concentration increased from 0.1 to 1.0 mmol/L, the transportenhancement effect of phosphate in goethite-coated sand was to a much larger extent than that in clean sand. The observations were primarily related to the difference in the total mass of retained phosphate between the iron oxide-coated sand and clean sand columns, which resulted in different degrees of the electrostatic repulsion and competitive effect of phosphate. When the background solution contained 0.5 mmol/L Ca^(2+), phosphate could be bind to sand/goethite-coated sand surface by cation bridging;and consequently, promoted competition between phosphate and nanoparticles for deposition sites, which was an important mechanism for the enhanced effect of phosphate. Moreover, the DLVO theory was applicable to describe GO transport behaviors in porous media in the absence or presence of phosphate. Taken together, these findings highlight the important status and role of phosphate on the transport and fate of colloidal graphene oxide in the subsurface environment. | Jiuyan Chen Weifeng Chen Taotao Lu Yumeng Song Haojing Zhang Mengjie Wang Xinhai Wang Zhichong Qi Minghua Lu | 2021 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2021,33,5: | 0 |
| 17 | Mineral structure and crystal morphologies of high-iron hydrargillite显示文摘Various characterization methods, including scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface-area measurements, thermogravimetry–differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, and infrared spectroscopy, were used to study the mineral structure and surface characteristics of high-iron hydrargillite. Gibbsite, goethite, and hematite were found to be the main mineral components of hydrargillite, whereas the goethite and hematite were closely clad to the surface of the multilayer gibbsite crystals. Compared with the synthetic gibbsite, the hydrargillite contained more structural micropores generated by the mineral evolution during the mineralization process. The gibbsite in hydrargillite contained less crystal water compared with the synthetic gibbsite, and it was a typical polymorphic structure. The isomorphous substitution of Al and Fe was observed in goethite. The dissolution-controlling step of hydrargillite was the ionic diffusion speed because of the goethite and hematite that closely covered and encapsulated the gibbsite crystals. | Hui-bin Yang Feng-qin Liu Xiao-lin Pan | 2018 | International Journal of Minerals,Metallurgy and Materials2018,25,5: | 0 |
| 18 | In situ infiltration-precipitation processes in some rock systems显示文摘We carry out a chemical treatment(acidization or basification)of typical rock specimens in-situ,and characterize the emerging pattern resulting from the infil-tration-precipitation scenario.Galena and limestone sam-ples were treated with sulfuric acid,while pyrite was reacted with sodium hydroxide.Various infiltration tech-niques were employed,after selection of the most feasible method for each rock separately.The patterns of anglesite(PbSO_(4)),anhydrite(CaSO_(4))and goethite(FeOOH)depo-sition presented different alteration modes of the bare rock textures.Among the three deposited minerals,only the anhydrite(CaSO_(4))displayed a band stratification.The formation of a Liesegang pattern in the rock of highest porosity indicates a plausible correlation between the band formation and a minimum porosity requirement.A banded rock of compact texture could then be formed by a cementation mechanism,governing the long time evolution of the rock. | Zahraa Ibrahim Rabih Sultan | 2023 | Acta Geochimica2023,42,5: | 0 |
| 19 | Geochemistry of subsurface Late Quaternary ironstones in Rajshahi and Bogra Districts, Bangladesh: implications for genetic and depositional conditions显示文摘The present study deals with the geochemistry of Late Quaternary ironstones in the subsurface in Rajshahi and Bogra districts, Bangladesh with the lithological study of the boreholes sediments. Major lithofacies of the studied boreholes are clay, silty clay, sandy clay, fine to coarse grained sand, gravels and sands with(fragmentary) ironstones. The ironstones contain major oxides, Fe_2 O_3*(*total Fe)(avg. 66.6 wt%), SiO_2(avg. 15.3 wt%), Al_2 O_3(avg. 4.0 wt%), MnO(avg. 7.7 wt%), and CaO(avg. 3.4 wt%). These geochemical data imply that the higher percentage of Fe_2 O_3* along with Al_2 O_3 and MnO indicate the ironstone as goethite and siderite, which is also validated by XRD data. A comparatively higher percentage of SiO_2 indicates the presence of relative amounts of clastic quartz and manganese-rich silicate or clay in these rocks. These ironstones also have significant amounts of MnO(avg. 7.7 wt%) suggesting their depositional environments under oxygenated condition. Chemical data of these ironstones suggest that the source rock suffered deep chemical weathering and iron was mostly carried in association with the clay fraction and organic matter. Iron concretion was mostly formed by bacterial build up in swamps and marshes, and was subsequently embedded in clayey mud.Within the coastal environments, the water table fluctuates and goethite and siderite with mud and quartz became dry and compacted to form ironstone. | Md.Sazzadur Rahman Ismail Hossain Pradip Kumar Biswas Md.Abdur Rahim A.S.M.Mehedi Hasan Md.Ibrahim Adham | 2019 | Acta Geochimica2019,38,3: | 0 |
| 20 | Thermally unstable maghaemite and its palaeoclimatic significance in Chinese loess显示文摘Magnetite and maghaemite are the two main contributors to magnetic susceptibility in theChinese loess/palaeosol sequence. Due to the close similarity in physical properties, earlyinvestigators treated them together as 'magnetite'. Utilising the property of thermally instability ofmaghaemite, we have been able to separate it from magnetite in loess and palaeosol samples from theupper parts of the Xifeng and Luochuan sections on the central Chinese Loess Plateau and compare itsvariation with depth and horizon. Our results indicate that thermally unstable maghaemite is relativelyenriched in both 1) weakly weathered loess units and 2) towards the west, the direction of dust supply,suggesting that maghaemite is at least partially (coarse grains) of detrital aeolian origin while somepedogenic maghaemite (extra fine grains) occurs in the palaeosols. The physical meaning of magneticsusceptibility, therefore, needs to be reconsidered as a synthetic indicator reflecting thepalaeoenvironment for both source area and deposition area. Thermally unstable goethite is a minormagnetic component of palaeosol samples, but it may play a significant role in determiningcharacteristic magnetic remanence of weakly weathered loess samples, especially when one appliesalternating-field cleaning. | Paul HESSE Tim ROLPH | 1999 | Chinese Science Bulletin1999,44,S1: | 0 |
