introduction the fanuj titaniferous placer deposits are located 35 km northwest of the fanuj, sistan and baluchestan province (1) . the studied area comprises a (2) small part of the late cretaceous fanuj-maskutan (rameshk) ophiolite complex (arshadi and mahdavi, 1987). reconnaissance and comprehensive exploration programs in the fanuj district (east of the 1:100000 fanuj quadrangle map,yazdi, ...

[1] Thermodynamic properties of MgSiO3 tetragonal majorite have been calculated at high pressures and temperatures within the quasi‐harmonic approximation based on density functional theory using the local density approximation (LDA) and the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The LDA results compare exceptionally well with measured thermodynamic properties. A classical Monte Carlo simula...

Photon interaction effective atomic number (Z eff ) for partial as well as total photon interaction processes has been computed using logarithmic interpolation method for seven different concretes viz. (i) Ordinary, (ii) Hematite Serpentine, (iii) Ilmenite Limonite, (iv) Basalt magnetite, (v) Ilmenite, (vi) Steel scrap and (vii) Steel magnetite concrete in the wide energy range from 10.0 keV to...

Chemical looping combustion of wood pellets (WP), char (WC), and straw (SP) was conducted in a 60 kW CLC pilot with ilmenite braunite oxygen carriers (OCs). Alkali emissions were investigated impactor-based surface ionization detector (SID) measurements. Particle size distributions for WP WC fuels dominated by coarse particles formed refractory species. For SP fuel, the distribution bimodal dis...

Singleand reflected-shock compression measurements on single-crystal i menite (FeTiO3) to pressures of 635 and 930 kbar, respectively, demonstrate anomalously large compressions above 4320 kbar and imply the onset of one or more major phase changes at this pressure level which continue to occur to at least 4600 kbar. The phase change onset pressure is considerably above the calculated upper bou...

Introduction: Water ice and ilmenite both have unique dielectric responses that can be used to detect their concentration as a function of depth, noninvasively from the lunar surface. Electrical measurements at the surface can also be used to determine the density of the lunar regolith. Subsurface water ice may exist in permanently shadowed regions near the poles of the Moon [1-6]. The presence...

The natural remanent magnetisation of a crystal of South Norwegian hemoilmenite rock has been studied using neutron scattering to obtain knowledge on the sample’s origin-deposit’s contribution to magnetic anomalies of the Earth’s magnetic field. The sample consists of an ilmenite host (paramagnetic) with exsolution lamellae of hematite (canted antiferromagnetic), thereby having a large area of ...
