The geochemistry and mineralogy of samples collected along depth profiles from an As-rich tailing deposit with abundant calcite was studied to determine the processes that influence the mobility of Fe, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cd, As, Sb, Cr and Tl. In spite of their near neutral pH, almost all of them are acid potential generators. Total concentrations decreased as: Fe > As > Zn > Pb > Cu > Sb > Cd > Cr > ...

Environmentally friendly and cyanide-free sulfate bath under continuous current and the corrosion behavior of electrodeposits of zinc-iron alloys were studied by means of electrochemical tests in a solution of 3.5% NaCl in presence and absence of glycine. The effects of pH on the quality of Zn-Fe coatings were investigated in order to improve uniformity and corrosion protection performance of t...

The Tres Marias carbonate-hosted Zn-Ge deposit in Chihuahua, Mexico contains willemite [Zn2SiO4] with unusually high concentrations of minor and trace elements (e.g., Pb, Ge, As, P, V); Pb concentrations are as high as 2 wt %, and Ge may reach 4000 ppm (average 900 ppm). Electron microprobe analyses and synchrotron X-ray fluorescence maps show that Zn and Ge, as well as Zn and Pb are negatively...

Pirquitasite, ideally Ag(2)ZnSnS(4) (disilver zinc tin tetra-sulfide), exhibits tetra-gonal symmetry and is a member of the stannite group that has the general formula A(2)BCX(4), with A = Ag, Cu; B = Zn, Cd, Fe, Cu, Hg; C = Sn, Ge, Sb, As; and X = S, Se. In this study, single-crystal X-ray diffraction data are used to determine the structure of pirquitasite from a twinned crystal from the type...
