2. 1. Water as a trace component in mantle pyroxene: Quantifying diffusion, storage capacity and variation with geological environment

   Author : Rickard Sundvall; Henrik Skogby; Alasdair Skelton; Eugen Libowitzky; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; pyroxene; mantle mineralogy; water in nominally anhydrous minerals; iron redox-reaction; kinetics; water zonation; FTIR imaging; re-hydration capacity; Mineralogy; Mineralvetenskap; Mineralogy; Petrology and Geochemistry; mineralogi; petrologi och geokemi;

   Abstract : In this study, distribution and diffusion of water in pyroxene are examined in an effort to explain the water content variation observed in natural pyroxene. Water is a common trace component in many nominally anhydrous minerals (NAMs) from the Earth's crust and mantle and greatly impacts their physical properties. READ MORE

4. 2. Thermal history of the Phanerozoic sedimentary succession of Skåne, southern Sweden, and implications for applied geology

   Author : Ingela Olsson; Berggrundsgeologi; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mineralogy; geochemistry; Petrologi; mineralogi; geokemi; Petrology; organic matter reflectance; organic geochemistry; illite crystallinity; clay mineralogy; thermal history; Phanerozoicum; Skåne; Sweden;

   Abstract : Post-depositional thermal conditions have been investigated throughout the Phanerozoic sedimentary succession in Skåne. Clay mineralogy and illite crystallinity have been the main tools for the Lower Palaeozoic strata. Within the Mesozoic sequence thermal influence was examined using RockEval pyrolysis and vitrinite reflectance analysis. READ MORE

5. 3. Hydrogen diffusion and storage mechanisms in diopside

   Author : Rickard Sundvall; Henrik Skogby; Alasdair Skelton; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mineralogy; Mineralvetenskap; mineralogi; petrologi och geokemi; Mineralogy; Petrology and Geochemistry;

   Abstract : Hydrogen is a widespread trace element in many nominally anhydrous minerals (minerals without water or hydroxyl ions in their structural formula) from the Earth's crust and mantle. The hydrogen is normally incorporated in the form of hydroxyl ions and can be regarded as structurally bound water. READ MORE

6. 4. Reconstruction of Holocene atmospheric mineral dust deposition from raised peat bogs in south–central Sweden

   Author : Jenny Sjöström; Malin Kylander; Jonatan Klaminder; Martina Hättestrand; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mineral dust; paleodust; peat; Sweden; Holocene; mineralogy; XRD;

   Abstract : Atmospheric mineral dust plays a dynamic role in the climate system acting both as a forcing and a feedback mechanism. To date, the majority of paleodust studies have been conducted on marine sediments or polar ice cores, while terrestrial deposition has been less studied. READ MORE

7. 5. X-ray microcomputed tomography (µCT) as a potential tool in particle-based geometallurgy

   Author : Pratama Istiadi Guntoro; Yousef Ghorbani; Jan Rosenkranz; Veerle Cnudde; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; X-ray microcomputed tomography; Mineralogy; Texture; Liberation; Geometallurgy; Mineral Processing; Mineralteknik;

   Abstract : In recent years, automated mineralogy has become an essential tool in geometallurgy. Automated mineralogical tools allows the acquisition of mineralogical, textural, and liberation information of ore samples. Such information is essential in the context of geometallurgy where it is needed for estimating the process response of the ores. READ MORE
