The Kholodninskoe pyrite-polymetallic deposit (Baikal-Patom plateau, Russia) was discovered in 1968, but the questions of its genesis still remain controversial. It is assumed that explosive activity volcanic apparatuses southern part Baikal-Muya zone as well underwater exhalations scattered spreading back-arc basin could have most likely influenced geochemical features amagmatic deposits Bodai...

To attempt a new approach to improve the grinding of cassiterite–polymetallic sulfide ores while simultaneously reducing cassiterite overgrinding and undergrinding, this article looked into effects chemical additives on distribution product size. Six chemicals, namely sodium hexametaphosphate, triethanolamine, ferric sulphate, aluminum chloride, polyaluminum chloride polyacrylamide, were compar...

The aim of this study was characterization of the isolated dissimilatory arsenate reducing bacteria in the context of their potential for arsenic removal from primary arsenic minerals through reductive dissolution. Four strains, Shewanella sp. OM1, Pseudomonas sp. OM2, Aeromonas sp. OM4, and Serratia sp. OM17, capable of anaerobic growth with As (V) reduction, were isolated from microbial mats ...

Jarosite, KFe(3)(SO(4))(2)(OH)(6), is a secondary iron sulphate often found in acid mine drainage (AMD) environments, particularly in mining wastes from polymetallic sulphide ore deposits. Despite the negative environmental connotation usually ascribed to secondary sulphate minerals due to the release of hazardous elements to aquifers and soils, jarosite acts as an efficient remover and immobil...

Purpose. Study on the processes contributing to formation of pyrite-polymetallic mineralization in Rudny Altai, development recommendations for directions further research. Methodology. Analysis literature and fund materials, field studies within known ore fields deposits, sampling laboratory studies: spectral analysis, chemical composition host rocks (ISP-MS Agilent 7500cx), study mineral main...

Abstract— Based on Sm–Nd data, a crustal source of iron-ore fluid was substantiated and the probability age estimation for hydrothermal–metasomatic siderite Bakal Group, Southern Urals, shown first time. The εNd (Т) values (from –13.4 to –17.6) plot in field Riphean shale not Precambrian rift gabbro granite this region. obtained is 970 ± 40 Ma, which consistent with Pb–Pb from major ore phase (...
