A Rapid Cu Enrichment Mechanism from Cu-Bearing Brine in Kuqa Basin, Xinjiang, China: Controlled by Crystallized Sequence of Saline Minerals by Yangtong Cao, Haiming Xu

“…However, our recent studies reveal that Cu enrichment is closely related to brine on the surface of clastic rocks in the basin. It is shown that green Cu mineral coexisting with halite and gypsum occurred in the fractured fault belts of sandstones or was precipitated with halite on the surface of maroon clay in the scallops of sandstone. …”

Effect of Weathering on Cd Mobilization in Different Sedimentary Bedrock Soils by Yongqiang Ning, Minglong Yang, Chutong Liu, Jiazhong Huang, Tianyi Wang, Yong Pang, Quanheng Li

“…Nevertheless, there is scarce knowledge concerning the natural weathering input of Cd, particularly that from sedimentary rocks as bedrocks. Herein, we endeavored to explore the contribution of various sedimentary rocks (Quaternary sediments, mudstone, limestone, sandstone, shale, greywacke, and marl) under similar weathering conditions to the input of Cd in agricultural soils. …”

MINERALOGY AND ORE FORMATION CONDITIONS OF THE NAILY GOLD DEPOSIT (SOUTH URALS) by A.D. Smirnitskaya, E.A. Rozhkova, E.V. Belogub, K.A. Novoselov, M.V. Zabotina, M.A. Rassomakhin

“…The paper examines mineralogy of noble metals and ore formation conditions at the Naily gold deposit (South Urals), which is hosted in pyrite-bearing talc-carbonate, chlorite-quartz-carbonate and quartz-carbonate metasomatites after serpentinites and rocks of a gabbrodiorite-plagiogranite complex. Based on microscopic and electron microscopic studies of polished sections and heavy concentrates, it is established that native gold and Au tellurides are the major Au minerals of veins, metasomatites after intermediate and felsic intrusive rocks and foliated serpentinites. …”

A Metastable Aluminosilica Compound for Aluminum and Water Transport to the Upper Mantle by Frans J. M. Rietmeijer, Joseph A. Nuth

“…This experimentally produced kaolinite-dehydroxylate is highly reactive and it is proposed as the precursor of phase egg in subducting slabs of crustal rocks. If so, metastable phases play a role in subduction zones and it then follows that the processes and resulting conditions in these environments can be nonuniform and discontinuous at least at micrometer scales.…”
