Mineralogy
Mineralogy is the scientific study of minerals. The issue at hand is the definition of the term "mineral," which was first used in Medieval Latin in the late fourteenth century as minerale, or "something mined."The term survives today in common use forms, for example, "mineral water" and "vitamins and minerals" that have nothing to do with the science of …
(PDF) A Review of Sensor-Based Sorting in Mineral
Previous studies show that sensor-based sorting can reduce energy, water and reagent consumption and fine waste production by discarding waste prior to further processing.
3D inversion of airborne gravity gradiometry data in mineral
ABSTRACT We present a case study of applying 3D inversion of gravity gradiometry data to iron ore exploration in Minas Gerais, Brazil. The ore bodies have a distinctly high-density contrast and produce well-defined anomalies in airborne gravity gradiometry data. We have carried out a study to apply 3D inversion to a subarea of data from a larger survey to demonstrate the utility of …

Infrared Studies of Clay Mineral-Water Interactions
Several examples of clay mineral-water complexes, where water is an integral component of the clay mineral structure, are shown in Fig. 9.1.Smectite (A) and vermiculite (B) are common 2:1 clay minerals that contain varying amounts of water depending on their layer charge and type of exchangeable cation (Brigatti et al., 2013).For smectites (A), H 2 O …
Infrared spectroscopy in clay mineral studies
The resultant spectrum of absorption frequencies is a characteristic property of the mineral which can not only serve as a fingerprint for its identification, but also give, in favourable cases, unique information on features of the structure, including the nature of isomorphic substituents, the differentiation of molecular water from ...
Near-infrared laboratory spectroscopy of mineral chemistry…
A good review and early study showed the potential of spectroscopy on conveyor belts for ore to waste separation (Goetz et al., 2009). More recently, studies commenced looking at real-time ore sorting using spectral measurements on porphyry copper to distinguish copper grades (Dalm et al., 2017, Dalm et al., 2014, Iyakwari and Glass, 2014).
Grinding aids for dry fine grinding processes
Grinding aid additives are established in various industrial dry fine grinding processes, primarily to achieve either a) an increase of the production capacity, b) a decrease …

An experimental study of organic matter, minerals and porosity
The pore evolution in ORSs is affected by mineral composition, organic material, diagenetic fluids, temperature, pressure, and other factors, reflecting the combined interaction of organic material and inorganic minerals. In this study, the organic and mineral composition of the three types of ORSs changed obviously during the experiments.
Game Changer in Soil Science. Functional role of clay minerals …
Commonly, clay minerals are considered to be phyllosilicates of < 2 µm in size. However, here I repeat my proposition (Churchman, 2010a) that clay minerals in the soil context are "secondary inorganic compounds of clay (< 2µm) size in soil regardless of their crystalline or nanocrystalline order, or their degree of disorder". Thus, they ...
FTIR techniques in clay mineral studies
Transmission spectroscopy is the oldest and most commonly used method in the clay mineral studies. Naturally occurring clay minerals are powders or solids that can be ground into powders, thus the KBr pressed disc technique is frequently used to prepare samples for IR analysis. In addition, due to its long use, it is useful to compare spectra ...
