sakhtehesar mountain is located in urumieh-dokhtar magmatic belt and is composed of volcanic and subvolcanic rocks (pliocene andesite to dacite) which intruded the volcanics and pyroclastics of paleocene age. three alteration zones including potassic, phyllic and propylitic are recognized in the area. in this paper, the mineral chemistry of magmatic and primary biotite and the mineral chemistry...

late miocene–pliocene calc-alkaline volcanic rocks are exposed southeast of isfahan in the urumieh-dokhtar magmatic belt. volcanic rocks consist of lava flows and domes, chiefly basaltic andesites, andesites and dacites. minerals in the volcanic rocks exhibit degrees of disequilibrium features. plagioclase as dominant mineral in these rocks generally displays reverse and oscillatory zoning; sie...

exact petrography and mineral chemistry investigations of pristine and altered rocks of the post-eocene panj-kuh pluton show thatsubsequent to emplacement and crystallization, rocks were subjected to two secondary composition equivalents, sodic-calcic andpotassic alterations, respectively. fresh rocks have syenitic composition and contain plagioclase (labradorite), k-feldspar, magmaticdiopside,...

ball mills are common grinding equipment in mineral processing industries. ball wear results from three mechanisms namely impact, abrasion and corrosion. of these, the corrosion mechanism is the least investigated, due to its chemical-electrochemical nature. therefore, the aims of this research were to investigate the grinding chemistry influence (slurry ph, solid percentage, water chemistry an...

Mineral assemblages, reaction textures and mineral composition of the metapelitic rocks from the Mahneshan area in NW Iran are studied to reconstruct the reaction history of the rocks. The phase relation on the real mineral chemistry AFM, AFMn compatibility diagrams and mineral isograds in chloritoid-free and chloritoid-bearing metapelites of Mahneshan Complex were studied in order to determine...
