1. Introduction. The U Pb decay system is a powerful and widely applied geochronometer due to the concentration of U and exclusion of initial Pb in common accessory minerals like zircon (ZrSiO 4) (Larsen Jr et al., 1952; Silver and Deutsch, 1963; Krogh, 1973; Ireland and Williams, 2003; Schaltegger et al., 2015).Additionally, the dual …

The Zr concentration in zircon-saturated fluids with 10 wt% NS3 ranges from 21 to 86 ppm at pressures between 430 and 840 MPa and temperatures between 500 °C and 750 °C (Fig. 1 a). The Zr content decreases with increasing pressure at constant temperature, as indicated by values at different pressures at 550, 650, and 750 °C ( Fig. …

1720 . pdf. 7533 zircon, analysis of two such areas in one grain gives the lowest temperature estimates of 726±18 and 748±18oC, and these represent the minimum tempera-ture for zircon crystallisation. These lower temperature estimates are close to the ~800°C estimate for the crys-. pyroxene thermometry [11].

Zircon stability in silicate melts—which can be quantitatively constrained by laboratory measurements of zircon saturation—is important for understanding the evolution of magma. Although the original zircon saturation model proposed by Watson and Harrison (Earth Planet Sci Lett 64(2):295–304, 1983) is widely cited and has been updated …

The analysed zircon has faint oscillatory zoning with high Th and U concentrations which suggest hydrothermal alteration or sign of a metamorphic event. The third zircon grain yields an age of 1868 ± 12 Ma (207 Pb-206 Pb) from the rim and has low Th/U ratios (∼0.01) which are typical for metamorphic zircons. The analysed zircon …

The primary obstacle in using zircon chemistry to determine trace element concentrations in the parent rock is that trace element partition coefficients (D element zircon/bulk rock) vary by up to several orders of magnitude, especially among the light rare earth elements (LREE) such as La (Hanchar and van Westrenen, 2007).There are many …

The results range from 20 to 2880 ppm Cl and 65 to 575 ppm F (Table 1; supplementary material 8). In general, the high-est Cl and F melt concentrations are calculated from apa-tite inclusions in high temperature zircons and decrease as zircon crystallisation temperatures decrease (Fig. 6b).

Summary. In the manufacture of an iron zircon pink pigment, the reaction between iron oxide and zirconia must occur before the reaction forming the pigment. …

1.2 Zircon structure. Zircon is a mineral that is an orthosilicate accessory. Its chemical formula is ZrSiO 4 (Z = 4) with the space group I 4 1 / amd.The zircon structure is made up of chains of consecutive, edge-shared SiO 4 and ZrO 8 polyhedra that pass along the c axis. The structure is rather wide; it incorporates "channels" of evidently …

Zircon is one of the most useful minerals for gaining detailed information about the formation, recycling, and metamorphism of high-grade gneiss terranes (Zheng et al., 2006, Zheng et al., 2007, Wu et al., 2008, Yang et al., 2008, Gerdes and Zeh, 2009, Liu et al., 2009a, Liu et al., 2009b, Zeh et al., 2010).Its internal zoning patterns, visible under …

3.1. Sulfidizing agent. The process of sulfidization is converting the surface of the oxide mineral such as MCO 3 (M: metal element) into a sulfide surface. This process includes the dissolution of Na 2 S in which HS − and S 2 − ions form in aqueous suspension, with adsorption of HS − and S 2 − ions taking place at the surfaces of the …

In order to investigate, in detail, the role played by the iron content on both the zircon promotion and the size of the crystallites, samples with variable Fe 2 O 3 /Zr starting ratios were analyzed. Fig. 2 shows that the amount of zircon phase is not a simple function of the iron concentration in the starting mixture but goes through a maximum …

Sector zoning is a routinely encountered growth feature of igneous and metamorphic zircon (e.g. Tailby et al., 2011).Simultaneously growing crystal faces incorporate different concentrations of trace elements due to variations in bonding between the proto-sites on different crystallographic planes (Dowty, 1976).This is …

Lithological observations indicate higher concentrations of iron oxide-rich beds in the indurated and iron carbonate-rich beds in the soft intervals (Supplementary Fig. 3–5).

Lithium diffusion occurs at substantially higher rates relative to diffusion of other trace elements in zircon (e.g., Y, REE, Pb, Th, U etc.; Cherniak 2010), and consequently Li concentrations and ...

As mentioned before, for sake of simplicity, we consider all iron as Fe 2+. When we plot Zr concentration in melts versus G (Fig. 4), we observe an excellent …

Analyses in TNL-1-1 were made in zircon grains with both concordant and heavily discordant ages ranging from 2992 to 1439 Ma. The data form a horizontal array with a very limited range of δ 18 O ...

Introduction. Iron zircon pigment (Fe–ZrSiO 4), as an important high-temperature red zircon-based pigment, it is widely used in ceramic glaze industry due to its excellent high temperature stability [1,2].On the other hand, Hematite (α-Fe 2 O 3)is used directly as ceramic pigment, but its disadvantage is that it is unstable at high …

About Zircon. Zircon, also referred to as zirconium silicate (ZrSiO 4), is a co-product from the harvesting and processing of ancient heavy mineral sand deposits.Found mainly in Australia and South Africa, zircon can be used either in its coarse sand form or milled to a fine powder. Its properties ensure that it is used in many everyday products, including …

Zircon sand is a natural mixture consisting of zirconium oxide and silicon oxide. Zircon itself can also be seen as a combination of the two oxides, which form a common crystal lattice (Chap. 2).In small amounts, zircon sand also contains hafnium, aluminum, iron, and titanium oxides, as well as traces of uranium and thorium .

Apatite inclusions hosted by zircon offer a means to probe the magmatic history of granitic rocks and better constrain the volatile budgets of crystallising granitic melts. Building on recently developed F–Cl–OH partitioning models for apatite and coexisting melt, we outline an approach for estimating the melt concentrations of F and …

Hydrothermal titanites from the Chengchao iron skarn deposit have an LA–ICP-MS U–Pb age of 131.4 ± 0.2 Ma (MSWD = 0.42) that is strongly consistent with the zircon U–Pb age of the ore-related quartz diorite (130.9 ± 0.7 Ma; MSWD = 0.7), confirming the reliability of the titanite U–Pb results when interpreted as the age of iron skarn ...
