Mineralogy of Atmospheric Suspended Dust in Three Indoor And One Outdoor Location in Oman

The aim of this work is to characterize the mineral phases present in the atmosphere at three locations in northern Oman. Samples of atmospheric particles were collected using a high volume sampler. Three indoor and one outdoor location were chosen in this investigation. Sampling locations included a residential house located nearby the cement plant, a residential house located nearby a refinery plant, and a residential house located at Al-Suwayq residential area. Indoor air was sampled from these three houses. Moreover, for the Al-Suwayq residential house, sampling was also taken outside the house for comparison. The dust samples were analysed for their microanalysis characterization and their mineral contents as well. The microanalysis enabled us to identify the metals present in the particles. Furthermore, the mineralogical analysis of the sample filters showed the presence of quartz as the principal phase inside the house of Al-Suwayq, whereas quartz, dolomite, and gypsum were common phases outside the house. In the residential house nearby the cement plant, it was found that calcite, quartz, dolomite and goethite were the principal phases whereas the particles collected from the house nearby the refinery composed primarily of dolomite and calcite. The airborne dust collected at the refinery and Al-Suwayq were probably sourced in the natural environment and mobilised by natural processes. However, at the cement factory the crushing and grinding of limestone during the industrial process has contributed significantly to the airborne dust load. Generally, the information obtained in this study will be invaluable as no data for the mineral content of atmospheric dust existed in the Oman.     

四川呷村多金属矿床成因矿物学研究

呷村矿床是典型的“黑矿型”含金、稀土富银多金属矿床.笔者对黄铁矿、闪锌矿、方铝矿、黝铜矿等主要矿物的物理性质、光学性质和化学成分作了系统研究.研究表明:①矿石的矿物种类繁多,含稀土的矿物具有特殊意义;②黄铁矿的结构为探讨该矿床的成矿环境和矿床成因提供了重要信息;③矿物性质的变化主要与微量元素含量和成矿物理化学条件有关;④矿物微量元素含量在矿区空间变化的规律对找矿与勘探具有指导意义;⑤方铅矿不是载Ag矿物.黄铁矿Co、Ni含量并不高,Co/Ni<1,这些是本矿床的独特之处.

Ghana: revival of the mineral sector

After almost two decades of decline, Ghana's mineral sector has rebounded significantly and is currently the main foreign exchange earner. Gold mining is the principal activity within the sector and accounted for 41 percent of total export earnings in 1996. This paper presents an overview of Ghana's mineral industry and covers mineral resources, production and reserves; mining investments; the role of mining in the economy; and the structure of the industry. An overview of the national mineral policy is also presented to depict the current regulatory and fiscal environment in which the industry operates. The spectacular reversal in mineral sector performance can be attributed to the adoption of World Bank recommendations in a new national mineral policy, the 1986 Minerals and Mining Law, aimed at revitalizing the sector.

Adsorption and desorption of lanthanum at sulfide mineral surface

Batch adsorption experiment with four sulfide minerals - Chalcocite galena, pyrite and sphalerite - were used to study for the adsorption and desorp-tion behavior of La (III) in the presence of EDTA, a model humic matter. Linear adsorption was found in all cases.The presence of soluble organic complexing ligand should reduce the mobility of La (III) in porous media and its transport to groundwater in the percolating soil solution. Binding mechanism is proposed to account for this preferential binding behavior.     

国外保护矿业环境的矿业立法择优

勘探尤其是开采对环境的污染和破坏是比较典型的,为此,世界绝大多数国家制订了独立于矿产资源法的《矿业法》,从立法资源上保证保护矿业环境的法律构建.国外《矿业法》以源头控制、全过程控制、无过错和合力等立法原则,贯通于行政特许权授予为主并综合运用矿业主体激励、市场力量、公众参与等其他管理方式之中,构建成立体性保护矿业环境的法律制度.国外矿业法择优显得我国取代《矿业法》的《矿产资源法》关于矿业环境保护的规定过分“吝啬“.

油气包裹体在成藏年代学研究中的应用实例分析

本文介绍了烃类流体包裹体在油气成藏期次、成藏年代和成藏史研究方面的应用 ,讨论了该方法在成藏年代学研究中存在的一些问题。指出在运用流体包裹体均一温度进行成藏年代分析时 ,一般应采用共生盐水包裹体的均一温度。认为流体包裹体均一温度确定成藏年代的准确性 ,一方面取决于储层埋藏史和热史模型的可靠性 ,另一方面后期构造热事件也是可能的影响因素。后期热事件可能使包裹体最初形成时的均一温度发生再平衡 ,造成所测的均一温度高于成藏时实际的古地温 ,由此确定的成藏年代将比实际的成藏年代偏晚。
