Thermal investigations on alunite and its mixtures with quartz and dickite
نویسنده
چکیده
The thermal decomposition of alunite and of mixtures of alunite with dickite or quartz or both has been studied, and X-ray determinations of the products at various stages of the decomposition have been made. Between 6oo and 7oo ~ the product from alunite is a mixture of anhydrous alum and amorphous alumina; between 7oo and 770 ~ the anhydrous alum breaks down into aluminium sulphate and alkali sulphate; then in the prominent 85o ~ endothermic reaction three-quarters of the sulphate is lost, leaving a mixture of alkali sulphate and 7-alumina. The area of the 850 ~ endothermic peak may be used as a measure of the percentage of alunite in alunitized rocks (alunite-qua rtz-dickite mixtures).

The Haft Sandogh alunite deposit is located in the northwest of Takestan (about 60 Km west of Qazvin), and is a part of large Takand alunite deposit. Mineralogical and field study reveal that there is a zonation in the alteration zones of the Haft Sandogh deposit and surrounding area including silica zone in the central part, and quartz-alunite (quartz alunite), kaolinite and propylitic formed ...

Fire clay of the Kabutarkuh deposit, located about 50 km southeast of Gonabad (Khorasan Province), was analyzed for its mineralogical and chemical compositions. Kaolinite, pyrophilite, quartz, dickite, gypsum, illite and alunite are the dominant minerals, and a minor phase of hematite is also present. Geochemical data show that the whole rock sample is mainly composed of SiO2, Al2O3 and K2O. Ch...

The Great Basin of the Western United States has thin continental crust and geologic structures that have controlled the emplacement of significant precious and base metal mineralization. Many of the mineral deposits in the Great Basin were emplaced by hydrothermal processes that altered the mineralogy of their host rock assemblages and facilitated concentration of metals. In the 1960’s and 197...
