The composition of igneous biotite is a potential indicator of the geologic environment of its host rock. Here, we apply two machine learning models-eXtreemly Greedy tree Boosting (XGBoost) and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM) to classify biotite in igneous rocks from five tectonic settings-oceanic intraplate, continental intraplate, continental arc, …
In Our Earth: The Geologic Importance of Biotite. A common, widespread, rock-forming mineral, biotite is a significant mineral in granites, diorites, and igneous pegmatites. In pegmatites, biotite crystals can be very large. It also occurs in schists, gneisses, and hornfels that resulted from either regional or contact metamorphism.
The presence of biotite-like minerals in the tailings was confirmed by Fe K edge XANES spectral peaks at around 7126 eV and 7130 eV in samples of biotite, control tailings ("T") and the sterilized treatments ("4TD", "7TD", "9TD") and the non-acidic pH …
Keywords: synthetic muscovite; biotite; oxidation; coal tailing; crystal structure 1. Introduction Biotite and muscovite are two phyllosilicate minerals within the mica family that are commonly found in igneous and metamorphic rocks. Biotite has a small number of commercial uses, while muscovite has the greatest commercial value due to its special
Crushed rocks and mine tailings containing biotite, K-feldspar and nepheline as K-bearing minerals were applied as K fertilizers in a series of 15 grassland field trials. A treatment with KCl as K-source outyielded treatments with rock based fertilizers in the first and the second experimental year. In the third and last year of the study when no K …
Biotite shows significant variations in the F and Cl abundances on the local scale of individual intrusions, extrusions and also at times on the thin-section scale. This variation is responsible for biotite equilibration with fluids. The high concentration of F (0.80–7.11 wt%) and Cl (0.44–1.56 wt%) in biotite are usually ascribed to the ...
An anomalous (hence the name) variety of "biotite" which has its optic axial plane perpendicular to (010). Barium- and Titanium-bearing Biotite: A barium- and titanium-bearing biotite mica. Chlorian biotite: Has 1.73 to 2.32 wt% Cl (Urals material). Chrom-Biotit: A Cr-bearing variety of biotite. Chromium-bearing Biotite: A Cr-bearing variety of ...
Detailed field sampling and laboratory methods were used to characterize the hydraulic properties of the tailings, their bulk chemistry, mineralogy, pore water and effluent chemistries. The tailings are composed of REE-enriched calcite (64–89 wt %) and fluorapatite (2–22 wt %), as well as biotite (6–17 wt %) and chlorite (0–7 wt %).
Manufactured sand is often distinguished from natural sand due to its particle shape, fines content and mineralogical composition, resulting in the mechanical properties and workability of manufactured sand concrete not being as good as those of natural sand concrete [9], [10].As a common rock-forming mineral, biotite is commonly found in …
Biotite is a mineral, classified as one of the mica minerals, and has a hardness rating of 2 to 3 on the Mohs scale. It belongs to the phyllosilicate group of clay minerals that form flat sheets or flakes. A combination of potassium, magnesium, iron, aluminum, silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen creates these sheets.
The weathering of magnetite and biotite-like phyllosilicates were accelerated, resulting in increased concentrations of soluble Mg, K, Fe, Ca, and Si in porewater. ... (TOC) concentration in solid tailing samples was determined by dry-combustion with a LECO CNS-2000 Analyser (LECO Corporation, City, MI, USA) after acid-removal of inorganic ...
A small amount of iron was contained in biotite, chlorite and augite. Besides, the grindability of IOTs was much better than that of granulated blast furnace slag (GBFS). ... A. L., Neves, M. A., and Mendonca, E. de. S. (2020). Jack beans and vetiver grass growth on iron ore tailing sediments from the doce river dam disaster in Brazil: Plant ...
The Detour Lake deposit is at a faulted contact between mafic volcanic and siliciclastic to volcaniclastic rocks, differing from other orogenic Au deposits in the dominantly greenschist facies Abitibi region, by possessing amphibolite facies assemblages. Consequently, typical indicator minerals for mineralization, like secondary biotite, may …
For example, the Caren tailing impoundment in central Chile was retained by an earth-fill dam with a maximum height of 108 m (James et al. 2011), the Bahuerachi tailing dam in Mexico was designed with a maximum height of 100 m with the capacity of 200 million m 3 tailings, and the Yuhezhai iron tailing dam in Yunnan, China, was designed to a ...
Biotite is a silicate, 2:1 phyllosilicate mineral: it is commonly seen in the form of false six-party plates, lamellae, and scale-form morphologies. It is normally used as a filling material for buildings, or is discarded as tailings (Luo et al. 2015 ); however, the interlayer spacing of biotite was filled with a variety of metal ions including ...
Pioneer plants play an important role in eco-engineering Fe ore tailings into soil for sustainable mine site rehabilitation. However, root-driven mineral weathering and secondary mineral formation remain poorly understood in tailings, despite being prerequisites for aggregate formation and pedogenesis. The present study aimed at characterizing the …
The objective of this work was to study the effect of muscovite and biotite on the flotation of chalcopyrite and molybdenite in seawater, and the use of sodium hexametaphosphate and sodium silicate to improve copper and molybdenum recoveries. The impact of the inorganic dispersants on the settling properties of the resulting flotation …
Biotite is relatively low in TiO 2 (1.14 ± 0.15 wt%) and, on average, contains 0.12 wt% Cr 2 O 3, 0.54 wt% V 2 O 3, and 0.15 wt% ZnO. Even though containing less than 2 wt% of Fe, biotite is, besides sulfides, the only significant Fe-bearing mineral in the Talvivaara ore. Muscovite is an important host for Al in part of the Talvivaara ore.
The interactions between the Fe(III)-reducing bacterium Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 and the phyllosilicate minerals biotite and chlorite have been studied. In washed, non-growing cell suspensions, S. oneidensis MR-1 was able to mediate the reduction of Fe(III) in biotite and chlorite in the presence and absence of an artificial …
