Enhancement of bio-oxidation of refractory arsenopyritic gold ore by adding pyrolusite in bioleaching system

Pyrolusite was added in the bioleaching process to enhance the bio-oxidation process. Bioleaching tests at different dosages of pyrolusite ore, pH and inoculation amounts of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans were studied. The results showed that the time of the bio-oxidation process was decreased obviously and the arsenic leaching rate reached 94.4% after the bioleaching. The bio-oxidation of arsenopyrite and the effective extraction of manganese from pyrolusite were achieved by the bioleaching process. After bioleaching, the leaching rate of gold from the reaction residues reached 95.8% by cyanide leaching. In the bio-oxidation process, pyrolusite increased the redox potential of the solution to accelerate the bioleaching rate. The experiment showed that there were two reaction modes in the bioleaching process.

Combined Chemical and Mineralogical Evidence for Heavy Metal Binding in Mining- and Smelting-Affected Alluvial Soils

The binding of metallic contaminants （Pb, Cd, and Zn） and As on soil constituents was studied on four highly contaxninated alluvial soil profiles from the mining/smelting district of Pribram （Czech Republic） using a combination of mineralogical and chemical methods. Sequential extraction analysis （SEA） was supplemented by mineralogical investigation of both bulk samples and heavy mineral fractions using X-ray diffraction analysis （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer （SEM/EDS）. The mineralogy of Fe and Mn oxides was studied by voltammetry of microparticles （VMP） and diffuse reflectance spectrometry （DRS）. Zinc and Pb were predominantly bound in the reducible fraction attributed to Fe oxides and Mn oxides （mainly birnessite, Na4Mn14O27.9H2O）, which were detected in soils by XRD and SEM/EDS. In contrast, Cd was the most mobile contaminant and was predominantly present in the exchangeable fraction. Arsenic was bound to the residual and reducible fractions （corresponding to Fe oxides or to unidentified Fe-Pb arsenates）. SEM/EDS observations indicate the predominant affinity of Pb for Mn oxides, and to a lesser extent, for Fe oxides. Thus, a more suitable SEA procedure should be used for these mining-affected soils to distinguish between the contaminant fraction bound to Mn oxides and Fe oxides.

Ore petrography of low-grade siliceous manganese ores from the Bonai-Keonjhar belt, Orissa, India: The influence of mineral-fabric on their beneficiation

Low grade siliceous manganese ores from the iron ore group of the Bonai-Keonjhar belt, Orissa, India are found mostly in shear zones. The ore characteristics of siliceous manganese ore samples from three differ- ent mines, viz. the Shankar (Barbil OMC lease hold area), the Sone-Patuli (Patmunda, OMM lease hold area), and the Musaghar (Roida, OMDC lease hold area), were studied. These siliceous manganese ores are of three types, respectively: (i) spongy-granular; (ii) massive-mosaic; and (iii) hard-mylonitized. The spongy-gran- ular type contains granular, saccharoidal quartz and the major manganese mineral present is pyrolusite. The second type contains well crystallized quartz and cryptomelane, while the third has cherty, fine grained quartz (mylonite) along with romanechite. All three ores were subjected to physical beneficiation under similar conditions. Both gravity and magnetic separation techniques were employed. The mineral-fabric of the ores has been correlated to the extent of their beneficiation using these physical techniques. Of these three ores only the spongy-granular type responded well to upgrading. The feed with 22% Mn content could be upgraded to 44% with a 28% yield and a 49% recovery. The good response to beneficiation of the spongy- granular sample could be due to the large euhedral crystals of pyrolusite and the friable nature of the sac- charoidal quartz. This study reveals the influence of mineral-fabric on beneficiation of low grade ore, siliceous Mn ore in particular.

Discovery of ferromanganese crust boundary and its genetic and ore prospecting significance

Evidences for the existence of ferromanganese crust boundary were found for the first time during the survey of the “DA YANG YI HAO” Vessel 2003. Some typical characteristics of the boundary are summarized and the significances of the finding of the boundary are included in the genesis discussion. Ore prospecting and assessment of the crust resources are described in this paper. The morphologic and extending characteristics of the crust boundary led to the recognition of two types of crust boundary： interpenetration crust boundary and closed crust boundary. According to the distribution and types of the crust, however, the boundaries are classified into three types： the boundary between ferromanganese crust and detrital sediment, the boundary between tabular crust and seamount nodules, and the boundary between tabular crust and rudaceous crust. This study revealed that the boundary between tabular crust and nodules was not formed under different regional environments but formed under different nucleation potential barriers between different initial growth （nucleation and germination） processes and between solid rocks and loose sediments. The rudaceous crusts are controlled spatially by fracture zones and the crusts＇ boundaries are controlled by the seamount structure and landform. The discovery of the crust boundaries reveals the crust＇s ‘negative growth’ phenomena （especially for some seamount nodules）. The boundary investigation can be helpful in identifying the existence of tabular crust covered by detrital sediments and in calculating the area covered by the crust. The resource calculation error and the resource quality as well as resource exploration degree can be assessed through the survey of crust boundary.

Preparation of Fe_3O_4/Mn OOH core–shell nanoparticles by a high-frequency impinging stream reactor

Well-defined Fe3O4/Mn OOH nanoparticles with 61.1 emu·g-1in magnetization intensity and 90.53 m2·g-1in surface area have been synthesized by a new-style of high-frequency impinging stream(HFIS)reactor.In this reactor,two streams first collided together to form nano Fe3O4suspension,which subsequently flew through an S-shaped main channel to generate high-frequency reversing high-gravity fields.At the same time,24 thin liquid sheets impinged into the main channel at the frequencies higher than 100 Hz to create nano Fe3O4/Mn OOH colloids.The obtained powders were characterized by transmission electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectrometer(TEM/EDS),X-ray diffraction(XRD),Brunner–Emmet–Teller(BET)and vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM).Experimental results indicated that low coating ratio prolonged the induction period of heterogeneous nucleation.The high-frequency impingements of 24 thin liquid sheets greatly accelerated the macro-mixing and the initial dispersion.The high-frequency reversing high-gravity fields promoted the mesoand micro-mixing.As a result,nano Fe3O4cores were fleetly and uniformly covered by Mn OOH precursor.As a continuously operated and static high-gravity reactor,the high-frequency impinging stream(HFIS)reactor is being developed to the large-scaled and low-cost production of various nanocomposites.

Investigation of the Composition and Structure of Ferrous and Manganese-Ferrous Minerals out of Lake-Marsh Ores

Minerals which enter lake-marsh ores composition are very diverse. There are two large classes of ores： ferrous and manganese-ferrous ores. Each class is divided into groups according to its mineral composition. In this investigation, ferrous ore sample （Chagodostcha） and manganese-ferrous ore samples （Totyma-2 and Mologa-2） were considered. All samples in the initial state are contaminated with a-quartz and Ab-An feldspars. Thus for purification of the samples, direct flotation method with kerosene agent were used. As a result, almost all impurities were removed from the samples. With the X-ray diffraction method, the authors identified following phases： goethite （ferrous ore） and birnessite （manganese-ferrous ores）. Also, the authors used electron probe microanalysis of the original and purified probes and it showed the presence of such impurities as Ca, K, Mg and Ba in birnessite from the manganese-ferrous ores, and AI and Mn impurities in goethite from the ferrous ore. All ore minerals are in a nanocrystalline state （crystallite size is about 10 nm）.

Coexistence of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic in Mn-doped anatase TiO_2 nanowires

A series of Mn-doped TiO2 nanowires(NWs) were prepared by hydrothermal method at the mole fraction of Mn changing from 0 to 12.0%.X-ray powder diffraction(XRD) analysis shows that all the samples have pure anatase structure.SEM and TEM studies show that the diameter and the length of the Mn-doped TiO2 NWs are larger than those of the undoped TiO2 NWs.Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX) reveals that the samples are composed of Ti,Mn and O.According to magnetization measurements,all samples show ferromagnetic behavior,but only the undoped TiO2 NWs are completely ferromagnetic with a saturated magnetization about 1.0 mA·m2/kg.Mn-doped TiO2 samples exhibit antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic(AF-FM) behaviors simultaneously.Photoluminescence(PL) spectra demonstrate the existence of MnO2 sublattice.These observations indicate that an AF-WF crossover is induced by the coexistence of TiO2 sublattice and MnO2 sublattice.

Mineralogical and micromorphological characteristics of Si-Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides from the PACMANUS hydrothermal field, Eastern Manus Basin

The mineralogical and micromorphological characteristics of Si-Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides from the dacite-hosted PACMANUS hydrothermal field were analyzed.The samples are poorly crystallized Si-Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides with minor birnessite, todorokite, nontronite, goethite, and opal-A.There are some microtextures which are rather like fossil microbes such as the filamentous silica and the hollow pipes.Flakes of nontronite crystals are found either forming a honeycomb texture or distrib- uted on the surface of the hollow pipes.Nontronite is the product precipitated from low-temperature hydrothermal fluids, and microbes may play a role in its formation.Si-Fe-Mn oxyhydroxides have two kinds of nuclei: Si-Mn nuclei and Si nuclei, both enveloped by the similar Si-Fe outer layer, existing in the rod-shaped oxyhydroxide and spheroidal oxyhydroxide, respectively.In the Si-Mn nuclei, the concentration of SiO2 is between 39.32 wt% and 86.31 wt%, and MnO concentration is between 4.97 wt% and 27.01 wt%, but Fe2O3 concentration is very low (0.54 wt%-3.43 wt%).In the Si nucleus the concentration of SiO2 is 90.17 wt%, but concentration of MnO and Fe2O3 are low, with 0.06 wt% and 3.47 wt%, respectively.The formation of the Si-Mn nucleus is closely related to microbes, whereas the Si nucleus is of inorganic origin.

Multiferroics and magnetoelectric effects in charge ordered compounds

The coexistence of magnetic ordering and ferroelectricity, ing on the origin of ferroelectricity, multiferroic materials known as multiferroics, has drawn a lot of research effort. Depend can be classified into different groups. In this paper, we review re cent progress in the field of multiferroics induced by different forms of charge ordering. In addition to a general description of charge order and electronic ferroelectricity, we focus on two specific systems： （1） charge order with frustration in RFe2O4 （R=Lu, Yb） system; （2） charge ordered perovskite manganites of the type （R1-xCax）MnO3 （R=La, Pr）. The charge ordering can be tuned by external electric fields, which results in pronounced magnetoelectric effects and strong dielectric tunability. Other materials and possible candidates with charge order induced multiferroics are also briefly summarized.
