The recommended ID Ti concentration values are 4.73 ± 0.15 μg g −1 for zircon 91500 and 25.08 ± 0.18 μg g −1 for zircon GZ7 (95% confidence level). A set of complementary secondary reference materials is also characterised using LA-ICP-MS with Ti concentrations anchored to the new isotope dilution values, thereby permitting …

The Zr concentration in zircon-saturated fluids with 10 wt% NS3 ranges from 21 to 86 ppm at pressures between 430 and 840 MPa and temperatures between 500 °C and 750 °C (Fig. 1 a). The Zr content decreases with increasing pressure at constant temperature, as indicated by values at different pressures at 550, 650, and 750 °C ( Fig. …

The concentration and recovery of valuable heavy minerals contained in dredged fine aggregates waste, located in Pyeongtaek South Korea, were investigated to develop a process that can recover and concentrate most of each heavy mineral. The raw material contains ilmenite, magnetite, monazite, and zircon.

Zircon tailings containing rare earth metals are one of the alternative raw materials from secondary sources in Indonesia. The objective is to determine the effects of several operating conditions in the leaching process. Under specified leaching conditions including 2 M hydrochloric acid concentration, 10 g/100 mL solid-liquid ratio, and a …

The dominance of eccentricity hints at a low-latitude climate control. Monsoonal systems are known to respond strongly to precession-eccentricity forcing …

Lithium diffusion occurs at substantially higher rates relative to diffusion of other trace elements in zircon (e.g., Y, REE, Pb, Th, U etc.; Cherniak 2010), and consequently Li concentrations and ...

In order to investigate, in detail, the role played by the iron content on both the zircon promotion and the size of the crystallites, samples with variable Fe 2 O 3 /Zr starting ratios were analyzed. Fig. 2 shows that the amount of zircon phase is not a simple function of the iron concentration in the starting mixture but goes through a maximum …

Apatite inclusions hosted by zircon offer a means to probe the magmatic history of granitic rocks and better constrain the volatile budgets of crystallising granitic melts. Building on recently developed F–Cl–OH partitioning models for apatite and coexisting melt, we outline an approach for estimating the melt concentrations of F and …

open access. Iron zircon coral pigments are very interesting from an industrial point of view because of their high colouring power and their stability at high …

Introduction. Iron zircon pigment (Fe–ZrSiO 4), as an important high-temperature red zircon-based pigment, it is widely used in ceramic glaze industry due to its excellent high temperature stability [1,2].On the other hand, Hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3)is used directly as ceramic pigment, but its disadvantage is that it is unstable at high …

Zircon stability in silicate melts—which can be quantitatively constrained by laboratory measurements of zircon saturation—is important for understanding the evolution of magma. Although the original zircon saturation model proposed by Watson and Harrison (Earth Planet Sci Lett 64(2):295–304, 1983) is widely cited and has been updated …

Lower concentrations of U and Th in the luminescent secondary domains are consistent with the lower solubility and consequent preferred precipitation of purer zircon. The sharp boundary between primary and secondary zircon domains could be considered the "recrystallization front" at an inward-moving interface ( Hoskin and Black, 2000 ...

As mentioned before, for sake of simplicity, we consider all iron as Fe 2+. When we plot Zr concentration in melts versus G (Fig. 4), we observe an excellent …

The results range from 20 to 2880 ppm Cl and 65 to 575 ppm F (Table 1; supplementary material 8). In general, the high-est Cl and F melt concentrations are calculated from apa-tite inclusions in high temperature zircons and decrease as zircon crystallisation temperatures decrease (Fig. 6b).

Zircon is one of the most useful minerals for gaining detailed information about the formation, recycling, and metamorphism of high-grade gneiss terranes (Zheng et al., 2006, Zheng et al., 2007, Wu et al., 2008, Yang et al., 2008, Gerdes and Zeh, 2009, Liu et al., 2009a, Liu et al., 2009b, Zeh et al., 2010).Its internal zoning patterns, visible under …

About Zircon. Zircon, also referred to as zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4), is a co-product from the harvesting and processing of ancient heavy mineral sand deposits.Found mainly in Australia and South Africa, zircon can be used either in its coarse sand form or milled to a fine powder. Its properties ensure that it is used in many everyday products, including …

All of these microstructures can include materials with vastly different trace element concentrations than the host zircon. We therefore discarded all analyses where SIMS spots visibly overlapped these potential sources of contamination. We also used iron concentration to monitor for inclusions and contaminants in SIMS analyses.

1. Introduction. The U Pb decay system is a powerful and widely applied geochronometer due to the concentration of U and exclusion of initial Pb in common accessory minerals like zircon (ZrSiO 4) (Larsen Jr et al., 1952; Silver and Deutsch, 1963; Krogh, 1973; Ireland and Williams, 2003; Schaltegger et al., 2015).Additionally, the dual …

For a correct determination of Lu, Yb and Hf concentrations, in addition to the above standards, we have used the international zircon standard 91500 certified for Hf and Lu content. Limitations of the method. It should be noted that the change of 176 Hf/ 177 Hf isotopic composition in the Earth's evolution history gives a value of about 1% ...

At our operations on the West Coast of South Africa, we mine and beneficiate heavy minerals to produce titanium dioxide feedstock (chloride and sulphate grades), zircon, rutile and high purity iron products. The products are used as feedstock in a wide range of applications including pigments, metals, ceramics, and foundries. The open-pit mine ...

For example, in the case that one 'standard grade' zircon has high iron and low Al 2 O 3 and another has low iron and high Al 2 O 3; the two standard grade products may be blended to make a premium grade feed for their process. 6.2.2. Others. Confusion over the terms premium and non-premium arise out of end-uses outside of ceramics.

3.1. Sulfidizing agent. The process of sulfidization is converting the surface of the oxide mineral such as MCO 3 (M: metal element) into a sulfide surface. This process includes the dissolution of Na 2 S in which HS − and S 2 − ions form in aqueous suspension, with adsorption of HS − and S 2 − ions taking place at the surfaces of the …

The Element2 has two detector modes: pulse counting and analog. Counting mode can be used for signals up to about 4×10 6 cps and analog mode is suitable for a range of 10 5 –10 10 cps. Counting mode is generally appropriate for measurement of 202 Hg, 204 (Pb + Hg), 206 Pb, 207 Pb, 208 Pb, and 235 U. Analog mode is used for 232 Th …

1.2 Zircon structure. Zircon is a mineral that is an orthosilicate accessory. Its chemical formula is ZrSiO 4 (Z = 4) with the space group I 4 1 / amd.The zircon structure is made up of chains of consecutive, edge-shared SiO 4 and ZrO 8 polyhedra that pass along the c axis. The structure is rather wide; it incorporates "channels" of evidently …

The concentrations of these are as follows: ( 176 Lu/ 177 Hf) CHUR = 0.0336, ( 176 Hf/ 177 Hf) CHUR = 0.282785 and ( 176 Lu/ 177 Hf) mean crust = 0.015. …

The primary obstacle in using zircon chemistry to determine trace element concentrations in the parent rock is that trace element partition coefficients (D element zircon/bulk rock) vary by up to several orders of magnitude, especially among the light rare earth elements (LREE) such as La (Hanchar and van Westrenen, 2007).There are many …

Iron mass in the 10 mg samples of zircon concentrate doesn't exceed 0.008 mg (Table 1) and is negligible comparing to the Fe comparator mass. First counting (to define La, Yb, Lu, and U content) took place for 30 min after 7 days of decay, the next – for 1 h after 3 weeks; the distance from the samples to the detector cap was 60 mm and 24 ...
