This paper summarises the use of digital remotely sensed data for Quaternary deposits mapping in central Sweden. Landsat TM scene of the beginning of May 1985 was applied. Only six groups of quaternary deposits were distinguished. The classification accuracy of the resultant map was about 50 % in average. Comparison was done with the existing map of Quaternary deposits.

Abstract The Santa Fé Ni-Co deposit is a major undeveloped lateritic located in the Goiás State of Central Brazil. comprises two properties that together have indicated resources 35.7 million tonnes (Mt), grading 1.14% Ni and 0.083% Co, inferred 104.3 Mt at 1.03% 0.054% Co. laterite was derived from Late Cretaceous alkaline ultramafic lithologies experienced an initial silicification Eocene to ...

By examining the minor and trace element contents of chromites from three intrusions—the Bushveld Complex (South Africa), Stillwater (USA), Great Dyke (Zimbabwe)—and comparing these chromite compositions with those magmas which they could have formed (komatiites picrites) we conclude that ( i) variations in Ti, V, Sc, Ga across stratigraphy individual layers do not support model magma mixing le...

Abstract Drilling related to development of the platinum-group element deposit J-M Reef Stillwater Complex returned samples a rare chromitite seam between anorthosite and norite in discordant anorthositic body. Plagioclase core An concentrations are marginally higher modestly reversely zoned on side (average Ancore = 83·8; average – Anrim –1·1) as compared with 82·5; +1·0). The anorthosites als...

cobalt chromite (cocr2o4) with normal spinel structure, shows catalytic activity for oxidation of unburned methane in the natural gas vehilcles (ngv). in this study, cocr2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized through a conventional co-precipitation technique and investigated for the catalytic combustion of methane. cobalt nitrate hexahydrate, chromium nitrate nonahydrate and ammonia solution (25%) ...

We examined oxygen three-isotope ratios of 48 extraterrestrial chromite (EC) grains extracted from mid-Ordovician sediments from two different locations in Sweden, and one location in south-central China. The ages of the sediments ( 470 Ma) coincide with the breakup event of the L chondrite parent asteroid. Elemental compositions of the chromite grains are generally consistent with their origin...

Gravity data inversion is one of the important steps in the interpretation of practical gravity data. The inversion result can be obtained by minimization of the Tikhonov objective function. The determination of an optimal regularization parameter is highly important in the gravity data inversion. In this work, an attempt was made to use the active constrain balancing (ACB) method to select the...

We provide results of a comprehensive mineralogical and microstructural study relict lherzolites the main ore field fresh rocks from deep structural borehole drilled in south-eastern part Kempirsay massif. Olivine orthopyroxene contain numerous pieces evidence material redistribution at different scales caused mainly by solid-state processes, such as plastic flow mantle, syntectonic recrystalli...
