The technological mineralogical characteristics of cesium-containing minerals in tailings were examined by means chemical analysis, the energy spectrum analysis method, and MLA (mineral liberation analyzer) to determine element content, phase associated mineral components, degree liberation, particle size, etc. results showed that samples mainly contained spodumene, quartz, feldspar, mica, othe...

A mineralogical study of Gonçalo lithium-bearing mica-rich pegmatite ore (Portugal) indicated that lepidolite occurs in coarse-grained textures, which allows an appreciable liberation gangue minerals (quartz, k-feldspar, and albite) from lepidolite. However, the intergrowth these results uncomplicated (i.e., inclusions). Taking advantage this coarse liberation, optical sorting through image ana...

Amongst the silicate-rich crystalline rocks that are produced in continental crust, pegmatites characterised by their large crystals which give them both an aesthetic and economic interest. Pegmatites crystallise either from fractionated magma derived a parent granitic body or partial melting of meta-sediments meta-igneous (e.g. amphibolite). The mechanism residual (or fluid) extraction has bee...

The Chaqiabeishan area is characterized by small Li-rich granitic pegmatites in the Quanji Massif (QM), northwest China. In this study, columbite-tantalite group minerals (CGMs) from a typical pegmatite dike were analyzed for major element contents using an EMPA (electron microprobe analyzer), trace LA-ICP-MS (laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry), and ages U-Pb dating, r...
