Lithium-bearing polymetallic pegmatite ores are an important raw material for lithium extraction. They contain not only but also other associated elements such as beryllium, tantalum, and niobium, with great recovery values. It is therefore often called lithium-bearing ore (LPPO). The utilization of Be-bearing minerals in LPPOs have yet to be further studied. This paper briefly expounds the geo...

Fluid-assisted mass transfer and re-equilibration of mineral phases are common consequences metasomatism associated with igneous intrusions. The addition and/or removal chemical components in these environments may result the generation metasomatic aureoles, which can be recognized by their mineralogy geochemistry. Due to an increasing demand for critical raw materials used green energy technol...

Sm-Nd ages of pegmatite dikes that crosscut gold-bearing structures in the southern Yilgarn Craton, Western Australia, provide minimum age constraints of 2640 6 11 Ma, 2628 6 10 Ma, and 2620 6 36 Ma for gold mineralization at the Westonia and Nevoria (Yellowdine Terrane) and Scotia (Norseman Terrane) gold deposits, respectively. Similarly, a post–gold mineralization dike at Westonia has a U-Pb ...

Arsenic concentrations were measured in 992 drinking water samples collected from New Hampshire households using online hydride generation ICP-MS. These randomly selected household water samples contain much less arsenic than those voluntarily submitted for analysis to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NHDES). Extrapolation of the voluntarily submitted sample set to all Ne...
