In summary, formation of secondary hematite in mining waste is a favorable process, which may attenuate contaminants released into pore water. In some mine tailings, primary sulfides have been completely dissolved and …
δ 18 O values of the latter (20–21‰) are higher than those of earlier diagenetic carbonates by 2 per mil on average, whereas δ 18 O values of secondary hematite in enriched iron formation are lower than those of precursor magnetite by approximately the same amount. This suggests the involvement of an isotopically light fluid (either ...
Hematite deposits are extensively identified in Meridiani region on Mars. Many hypotheses have been proposed to decipher the mechanism for the formation of these deposits. On the basis of geomorphological and mineralogical studies, aqueous environment of deposition is found to be the most supportive mechanism for its secondary iron rich deposits.
secondary sulfates, (3) the supergene enrichment zone with abundant chalcocite and other Cu-rich sulfides, and (4) the top of the underlying massive sulfide protore. More complex zonation patterns are evident in mature supergene profiles developed on VMS deposits, especially deposits rich in Zn, Pb, and As (table 12–1).

It occurs in the form of secondary biomass, weathered from other iron ores or ...
Iron oxide minerals such as hematite and magnetite can provide valuable information on ore genesis. Uraniumbearing hematite has been proposed as a potential Pb-Pb chronometer for iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) systems and allows for the direct dating of mineralization in oxide-rich hydrothermal deposits for which other suitable dating minerals are not available.

We conclude it is plausible that the friable layered equatorial deposits could have come from explosive eruptions of distal volcanoes. Hematite may have formed as Fe-rich deposits that were oxidized upon eruption and cooling or by a later secondary mechanism in the preexisting ash beds. 4.3. Secondary Formation Mechanisms of Hematite
Hematite can also occur without water, however, usually as the result of volcanic activity. Clay-sized hematite crystals can also occur as a secondary mineral formed by weathering processes in soil, and along with …
Diamond deposits can be divided into two categories : primary and secondary deposits. Primary deposits are volcanic craters that have caved in on themselves and contain vertical kimberlite "pipes" that shrink until they crack …
Lateritic deposits are a type of weathering product that forms in tropical and subtropical regions through the process of laterization. Laterization involves the leaching of silica and other soluble materials from rocks, leaving behind a residual concentration of iron and aluminum oxides. The resulting deposits, known as laterites, are characterized by their …
Secondary y-axis shows hematite (U-Th)/He (hematite He) closure temperature as a function of the same range of hematite grain size. Shaded red region = grain size range observed in our hematite cataclasite, implying that these grains have relatively high potential to preserve magnetizations but have relatively low (U-Th)/He closure temperatures.
Second, many of the deposits have been overprinted by later deformation and chemical weathering obscuring primary ore characteristics and zonation (Taylor et al, 2001). Third, …

These deposits, located in centimeter to decimeter scale fractures and cavities in the unsaturated zone (UZ) rock at Yucca Mountain, ... amounts of hematite, biotite, and garnet (Vaniman and others, 1984). Fumaroles occurred near the tops of the Tiva Canyon
Sediment-hosted copper deposits are stratabound, that is, they are restricted to a narrow range of layers within a sedimentary sequence but do not necessarily follow sedimentary bedding.
Hence primary and secondary processes upgrade deposits by enriching the grade due to beneficiation is now being adopted by several mining companies operating in the region. ... the basin forms independently with youngest BIF (BIF-3) in the entire region and the thickness of bands of hematite/chert exceeds 30 cms at times.
Huge deposits of hematite are found in banded iron formations. Gray hematite is typically found in places where there has been standing water or mineral hot springs, such as those in Yellowstone National Park in North America. ... Clay-sized hematite crystals can also occur as a secondary mineral formed by weathering processes in soil, and ...

Hematite is the most important ore of iron. Although it was once mined at thousands of locations around the world, today almost all of the production comes from a few dozen large deposits where significant equipment investments …
The high-grade hematite deposits stand in contrast to martite–goethite ores which are generally accepted to be the result of supergene enrichment of iron-formation because they
Hematite is less soluble and denser than magnetite under typical secondary circuit conditions, therefore a layer of hematite on the surface of magnetite can reduce the FAC rate in SG feed water train [9]. This agrees with the higher resistance under oxidizing conditions [10]. But hematite deposit on SG tubes is believed to promote the
Secondary Enrichment. After the initial deposition of BIF deposits are often further enriched in iron by either of : supergene enrichment – where weathering saw the leaching of soluble materials; hydrothermal processes. Both of these can result in high-grade hematite (martite) and goethite-rich deposits that can contain 50-68% iron.
The Abu Gaharish mineralization comprises Au-rich NNE-trending quartz veins, and their surrounding shear zone is found hosted within a Neoproterozoic Sn-W-bearing monzogranite pluton and intersects the metavolcano-sedimentary assemblage at its eastern contact. The ore mineralogy consists of pyrite, galena, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and gold, with …
The Lithosphere. William H. Schlesinger, Emily S. Bernhardt, in Biogeochemistry (Fourth Edition), 2020 Secondary minerals. Secondary minerals are formed as byproducts of weathering at the Earth's surface. Usually the formation of secondary minerals begins near the site where primary minerals are being attacked, perhaps even originating as coatings on the crystal surfaces …

Quartz and dawsonite are absent in the ...
form from a cooling plutonic intrusion When a magma intrusion cools and starts to solidify, sulfide ore minerals may crystallize preferentially in distinct lenses or bands Such a concentration is called a magmatic deposit, because it forms directly from a magma. Because these concentrations consist almost exclusively of sulfide minerals, they are a type of massive …
The transformation of magnetite to hematite, or hematite to magnetite, in nature has generally been considered a redox reaction and linked to a specific redox state of fluid; however, a nonredox reaction, Fe 2 O 3 (hm) + Fe 2+ + H 2 O = Fe 3 O 4 (mt) + 2H +, may have been the principal mechanism for the transformations of iron oxides in nature, especially in …
Banded iron formation-hosted high-grade (>60 weight percent (wt%) iron (Fe)) hematite ore deposits make up the bulk of the world's iron ore production and reserves.
Secondary microplaty hematite (mplH) occurs in many different environments but importantly, where unmodified by metamorphism, it is the defining minor component of the …
Hematite, with the chemical formula Fe2O3, exhibits several chemical properties that contribute to its characteristics and behavior. Here are some of the key chemical properties of hematite: 1. Composition: Hematite consists of iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) atoms, with two iron atoms bonded to three oxygen atoms in each for…
The deposit alteration studies about 20-25pcs samples from intrusive and host rock showed in order of dominance, intermediate argillic, propylitic, advanced argillic, phyllic, silicification and gossan alteration zones. The dominant types of alteration on the project are hematite alteration and secondary mineralization of pyrite (Figure 8).
The orientation and morphology of cracks in coffee-ring like particulate deposit obtained by drying sessile drops containing anisotropic magnetic particles strongly depends on the magnitude of the applied magnetic field and its direction. This opens up the possibility of tuning the micro-structure of cracks via suitable manipulation of magnetic and hydrodynamic …
