abstract = {The use of phyllite (Phy) instead of quartz in mixtures with bentonite (B) is recommended as a buffer material for engineering barriers in a geological repository of nuclear waste. The recommendation is based on experimentally determined sorption properties of various Phy/B mixtures. The adsorption capacity of Phy/B mixtures (Phy/B: 75/25; 50/50; and 25/75), the removal efficacy of Eu(III) ions (an analog for fissiongenic lanthanides and actinides), and the rate of their binding reaction were studied using the batch adsorption equilibrium and kinetic experiments at different Eu(III) initial concentrations, solution pH, and solution to adsorbent (L/S) ratio. The adsorption capacity of the Phy/B mixtures increased with the increased bentonite content in the mixture depending on the L/S ratio and solution pH. The highest increase in the adsorption capacity of the Phy/B mixtures compared to phyllite was observed for the Phy/B proportions of 25/75 and 50/50. The rate of the Eu(III) adsorption was the best fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model indicating that the adsorption rate was controlled by chemisorption. The Sips model provided the best correlation of the adsorption experimental data, indicative of more than one adsorption site. The results of this study show the advantage of the Phy/B mixtures in immobilizing Eu and certain fission products by combining adsorption properties of the materials. © 2023. The Author(s).},

abstract = {Raman microspectroscopy and thermo‐optical‐transmittance (TOT) method were used to study airborne ambient soot collected at the suburban air monitoring station in southern Poland during the residential heating (January‐February) and non‐heating (June–July) seasons of 2017. Carbonaceous material constituted on average 47.2 wt.% of PM2.5 during the heating season and 26.9 wt.% in the non‐heating season. Average concentrations of OC (37.5 ± 11.0 μg/m3) and EC (5.3 ± 1.1 μg/m3) during the heating season were significantly higher than those in the non‐heating season (OC = 2.65 ± 0.78 μg/m3; and EC = 0.39 ± 0.18 μg/m3). OC was a chief contributor to the TC mass concentration regardless of the season. All Raman parameters indicated coal combustion and bio-mass burning were the predominant sources of soot in the heating season. Diesel soot, which is structurally less ordered than soot from other sources, was dominant during the non‐heating season. The D1 and G bands area ratio (D1A/GA) was the most sensitive Raman parameter that discriminated between various soot sources, with D1A/GA > 1 for diesel soot, and less than 1 for soot from coal and wood burning. Due to high daily variability of both TOT and Raman spectroscopy data, single‐day measurements can be inconclusive regarding the soot source apportionment. Long‐time measurement campaigns are recommended. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.},

abstract = {For the first time, it is shown that inhaled ambient air-dust particles settled in the human lower respiratory tract induce lung calcification. Chemical and mineral compositions of pulmonary calcium precipitates in the lung right lower-lobe (RLL) tissues of 12 individuals who lived in the Upper Silesia conurbation in Poland and who had died from causes not related to a lung disorder were determined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Whereas calcium salts in lungs are usually reported as phosphates, calcium salts precipitated in the studied RLL tissue were almost exclusively carbonates, specifically Mg-calcite and calcite. These constituted 37% of the 1652 mineral particles examined. Mg-calcite predominated in the submicrometer size range, with a MgCO3 content up to 50 mol %. Magnesium plays a significant role in lung mineralization, a fact so far overlooked. The calcium phosphate (hydroxyapatite) content in the studied RLL tissue was negligible. The predominance of carbonates is explained by the increased CO2 fugacity in the RLL. Carbonates enveloped inhaled mineral-dust particles, including uranium-bearing oxides, quartz, aluminosilicates, and metal sulfides. Three possible pathways for the carbonates precipitation on the dust particles are postulated: (1) precipitation of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), followed by its transformation to calcite; (2) precipitation of Mg-ACC, followed by its transformation to Mg-calcite; (3) precipitation of Mg-free ACC, causing a localized relative enrichment in Mg ions and subsequent heterogeneous nucleation and crystal growth of Mg-calcite. The actual number of inhaled dust particles may be significantly greater than was observed because of the masking effect of the carbonate coatings. There is no simple correlation between smoking habit and lung calcification. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.},

abstract = {The effectiveness of different organic stabilizers in stabilizing asbestos in fiber cement was evaluated using brush-abrasion tests on asbestos-cement (AC) sheets and counting the number of released respirable fibers using phase-contrast microscopy (PCM). All asbestos fibers released from the abraded sheets were identified as chrysotile. The binding effectiveness of the stabilizers varied from 35% (bitumen-based) to >90% (polyurethane resin (PUR); acrylic paint; flexible coating). Stabilizers with low binding efficiency, i.e., <80%, should not be used for coating. The 80% binding efficiency limit is suggested based on the performance of PUR stabilizer applied to the surfaces of AC sheets that were primarily in good condition. With very deteriorated surfaces, even the best performing stabilizers will not prevent fiber release on a scale comparable to that from unprotected sheets in good condition. The greatest effectiveness in binding asbestos fibers is achieved by applying stabilizers that combine a hard coating (PUR), high degree of flexibility (flexible coating) and adhesiveness (acrylic dispersion paint). A simple brush-abrasion test is recommended as an inexpensive, fast and reliable method for evaluating the performance of stabilizers. The brush-abrasion test can reveal invisible deterioration of the cement matrix weakening asbestos-fiber attachment to AC sheets. © 2020 The Author(s)},

Members of the solid solution series were examined by means of Electron Probe Microanalysis (EPMA), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)/Energy-Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS), X-ray single-crystal and powder diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. Metal cations were randomly distributed between two special octahedral sites in the erythrite–köttigite structure. In response to Co ↔ Zn substitutions, small but significant changes in bond distances (particularly in [AsO4] tetrahedra), rotation, and distortion of co-ordination polyhedra were observed. Two sub-series of dominant cationic substitutions (Co-Mg-Ni and Co-Fe-Zn) were noted within the arsenate series of vivianite-group minerals linked by erythrite. The paragenetic sequence erythrite → Zn-rich erythrite → Co-rich köttigite → köttigite reflects the evolution of the solution’s pH towards increased acidity and a relative increase in the concentration of Zn ions following precipitation of erythrite. © 2020 by the authors.},

abstract = {Disposal of radioactive wastes in underground repositories necessitates knowledge on adsorption and mobility of radionuclides in host rocks (geologic barrier) and in engineered barriers, including clay barrier. The batch adsorption of Eu(III) (a homologue for trivalent radionuclides) onto phyllite compared to bentonite was studied as a function of solution pH (4.5 and 7.0), solution to clay rock ratio (10:1; 100:1; 500:1 and 1000:1), and various Eu(III) concentrations (0.01–190 mg/L; 0.658 × 10−7–1.25 × 10−3 M). The experimental data were interpreted using the isotherm models of Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin-Radushkevich, Tóth, and Sips. Adsorption/desorption experiments and bonding strength calculations showed that the adsorption behavior depends on the mineral composition of sorbents, solution pH, the initial concentration of Eu(III), and liquid: solution ratio (L:S). The cation exchange within the interlayer space of montmorillonite is the main adsorption mechanism in bentonite. Cation exchange on the minerals surface, chemical reactions leading to the precipitation of new phases, the electrostatic effect at a low initial concentration of Eu (III), and pH > pHPZC are adsorption mechanisms in phyllites. Solution pH has a pronounced effect on the Eu(III) adsorption onto phyllite due to surface protonation. Fe-oxides and hydroxides play a significant role in the adsorption/desorption of Eu(III) on phyllites. The best fitting was obtained for three-parameter isotherm models of Sips and Tóth. The mechanism of Eu(III) binding is complex and does not follow the ideal monolayer adsorption. While the maximum adsorption capacity of phyllite is 2.5 to 6.6 times lower than of bentonite, depending on the solution pH, it is high enough to guarantee efficacious and durable removal of actinides from the contaminated solutions, particularly at their low concentrations. Phyllites adsorption and mechanical properties make them suitable additives to bentonite in a clay barrier. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.},

Major (>20 vol%) and subordinate components of PM 10 (soot; quartz; gypsum; aluminosilicates; Fe-oxides; dolomite; and Pb-chloride) occur in different proportions season-depending and are of limited use in the identification of the emission point sources. Some minor components (particles of Cd- and Tl-bearing ZnS; and of iron and Cr-steel) related to meteorological conditions enabled identification of a large zinc refinery (35 km NW of the sampling site) and integrated iron and steelmaking plant located close to (10 km NE) the sampling site as the most probable emission point sources. Three other large steel plants located in the SW wind rose sector at a distance of 28, 75, and 80 km of the sampling site were typified as potential point sources based on submicron metal particles (Mn-alloyed steel; brass; hematite; magnetite; Fe-spinels). Combination of meteorological data and mineralogical investigation of airborne individual particles enabled distinguishing between sources of similar mineral tracers located in different sectors of wind rose and provided direct evidence for Zn and Cl speciation. © 2019 Turkish National Committee for Air Pollution Research and Control},

Organic matter dispersed in the phyllite matrix was analysed by GC-MS. Fine-grained Mg-Fe-muscovite (13 to 29 wt.%), Fe-ripidolite (10 to 25 wt.%), detrital quartz (20 to 46 wt.%), and albite (7 to 28 wt.%) ± microcline, illite or illite/smectite, and kaolinite are major minerals in phyllite samples. The chlorite/muscovite ratio ranges from 0.65 to 1.1. Mg-annite inherited from the precursor rock is a minor constituent. Detrital ilmenite is a dominant accessory mineral. Ancylite-(Ce) occurs in quartz-calcite-ripidolite veins. Two types of phyllite have been distinguished based on the proportion of phyllosilicates to silt fraction: argillaceous (47 to 55 wt.% phyllosilicates) and silt-rich (28 wt.% phyllosilicates). Argillaceous phyllite shows elevated content of alumina and moderate concentration of silica. It is highly enriched in Fe compared to phyllites from other localities worldwide. The BET specific surface area of argillaceous phyllite ranges from 1.73 to 3.64 m2/g. Whole-rock chemical composition, mineral assemblages, chlorite geothermometry, and the occurrence of aliphatic hydrocarbons suggest that argillaceous phyllite originated from a pelagic pelite protolith under low-temperature (260–370°C) greenschist to subgreenschist facies conditions. Persistent biomarkers are indicative of bacterial degradation of planktonic organic matter suspended in a high water column. Enrichment in Fe-rich chlorite and Mg,Fe-muscovite, low volume of interconnected pores with dominant mesopores suggest that argillaceous phyllite from the Dewon–Pokrzywna deposit is a potential candidate for a buffer and/or backfill material. © 2018, Polish Geological Institute.

Slag surrounding the segregations consists of olivine, spinel series, melilite, clinopyroxene, leucite, nepheline and sulphides. Ca-olivines, kalsilite and mica compositionally similar to oxykinoshitalite occur in border zones in addition to olivine, spinel series and melilite.

abstract = {Concentrations of Ba, Zn, Pb, Fe, and Mn were determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy in freshly cast antlers from male roe deer of different ages (2 to 4 years old and older than 4 years) collected in Balin near Chrzanów and in the vicinity of Żywiec, S Poland. Barium content ranged from 124 to 196 ppm (mean 165 ppm) in the Balin 12 samples and from 207 to 351 ppm (mean 287 ppm) in 3 antlers from Żywiec. The concentration of Ba was comparable to that of Zn (134–275 ppm; mean 169 ppm). Elevated concentrations of Ba in antlers most probably originated from direct uptake of airborne barite nanocrystals through the respiratory system and/or by digestion of barite-rich dust particles deposited on plants. Burning of Ba-enriched coals is regarded as the principal source of Ba in the investigated areas inhabited by roe deer. Increased concentrations of Ba in antlers from the Żywiec area compared to Balin reflect particularly high air pollution caused by coal-burning mostly for domestic purposes combined with an unfavorable topography that impedes efficient air circulation. © 2016, The Author(s).},

abstract = {The supply of Cd, Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn, and Tl into a wetland in the industrial area of Upper Silesia, southern Poland via atmospheric precipitation and dust deposition has been counterbalanced by the biogenic metal sulfide crystallization in microsites of the thin (<30 cm) peat layer, despite the overall oxidative conditions in the wetland. Disequilibrium of the redox reactions in the peat pore water (pH 5.4–6.2) caused by sulfate-reducing microorganisms has resulted in the localized decrease in Eh and subsequent precipitation of micron- and submicron-sized framboidal pyrite, spheroidal ZnS and (Zn;Cd)S, and galena as revealed by high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). Saturation index for each sulfide is at a maximum within the calculated Eh range of −80 and −146 mV. Lead was also immobilized in galena deposited in fungal filaments, possibly at a higher Eh. Thallium (up to 3 mg kg−1) in the peat strongly correlates with Zn, whereas Cu (up to 55 mg kg−1) co-precipitated with Pb. The metal sulfides occur within microbial exudates, which protect them from oxidation and mechanical displacement. Vertical distribution of toxic metals in the peat layer reflects differences in pollution loads from atmospheric deposition, which has been much reduced recently. © 2015, The Author(s).},

A two-step formation of the pseudomorphs is postulated based on SEM observations: (1) complete dissolution of whewellite, possibly caused by oxalotrophic bacteria, and (2) subsequent bacterially induced precipitation of barite and spheroidal aggregates of ZnS together with galena (PbS) in voids left by the dissolved whewellite crystals. Local increase in pH due to microbial degradation of whewellite, elevated concentrations of Zn(II) and Ba(II) in pore water due to the decomposition of atmospheric particles of sphalerite and barite in the acidic (pH 3.5-3.8) environment, oxidation of S species during drying and rewetting of the peat layer, and subsequent partial reduction of sulfate anions by sulfur-reducing bacteria were all factors likely involved in the crystallization of ZnS and barite in the microenvironment of the post-whewellite voids. © 2014 The Author(s).},

Exploitation of biogas from the landfill prior to thermal events may have enhanced exothermic oxidation of coal waste. The smoldering is the prevalent and persistent form of coal combustion in the landfill and is responsible for high emissions of CO (up to 3%), CO2 (>18%), methane and a suite of gaseous hydrocarbons. Attempts to extinguish coal fire did not prevent the advance of smoldering front at a rate of tens of metres per year.},

Local differences in oxygen fugacity, melt density and viscosity led to the formation of two varieties of paralavas both with andesitic composition: reduced (dark grey) and oxidized (red). Abundant Fe-rich idiomorphic indialite (X Fe = 0.47-0.63) occurs in reduced paralava together with spinel, magnetite, hematite, rare phosphides, minor Fe-rich sapphirine and relic pyrite, monazite, xenotime, and zircon. Only few acicular crystals of indialite, skeletal spinel, and hematite occur in the oxidized paralava in addition to abundant partially resorbed quartz inherited from the sedimentary protolith. Partial melting of monazite under reducing conditions did not reset its U-Th-Pb ages despite mobilization of P and subsequent precipitation of secondary (Fe;Mn;Mg;Ca)-phosphides. Fractional crystallization combined with redox conditions was a major mechanism controlling mineral and chemical compositions of paralava. © 2013 E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung.},

abstract = {Results of a survey conducted recently by the Mineralogical Sciences Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences among Polish geochemists, mineralogists and penologists revealed a significant increase in a number of research articles published in ISI listed journals since the political and economic transformations in 1989 owing to the unrestricted international collaboration, better funding, unlimited access to worldwide journals and data bases and easier access to modern research equipment. Introduction of the so-called parametric evaluation of the performance of research institutions in Poland further motivates scientists to publish their papers in the most prestigious journals (category I and II on the ISI list). Relatively low impact of those articles measured by their low citation, especially by the low Hirsh index with the exception of a few authors whose papers are widely red, may have resulted from focusing on solving regional problems rather than tackling issues relevant to the whole scientific community. However, recently this trend has been reversed. The major obstacles in a more dynamic progress of Polish mineralogical sciences include limited access to modern equipment (there are only two electron microprobes in Poland available to mineralogists and none of ion microprobe) and unsatisfactory funding of research projects.},

Vesuvianite contains two structural types of OH groups. There are four to six bands in its vibration spectra that are explained as due to different coordination effects. In this paper, the results of Raman investigations on the OH region in vesuvianite are given for the first time. Investigations on ferrous vesuvianite in rodingites from the Urals show that analogous modes are active on both FTIR and Raman spectra. Using a sample of super-clear vesuvianite with P4/n symmetry and ordered structure [a = 15.523(1) Å; c = 11.810(1) Å; P4/n; R1 = 0.0343] from Kazakhstan, it is demonstrated that the character and position of OH bands on vibration spectra are connected not only with coordination effects but also with statistically disordered proton sites and with the number and character of hydrogen bonds. The true symmetry of the vesuvianite from Kazakhstan is lower than P4/n as determined on the basis of the X-ray single-crystal diffraction data. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.},

Phosphate minerals such as phosphatian coffinite and françoisite with depleted 235U (235U/238U = 0.00609 to 0.00638) contained large amount of fissiogenic light REE, while micro-sized uraninite grains in a solid bitumen aggregate have normal U isotopic values (235U/238U = 0.00725) and small amount of fissiogenic REE components. The proportions of fissiogenic and non-fissiogenic REE components in four samples from the core of BAX03 vary in depth ranging from 30 cm to 130 cm beneath the reactor, which suggests mixing between fissiogenic isotopes from the reactor and non-fissiogenic isotopes from original minerals in the sandstone. Significant chemical fractionation was observed between Ce and the other REE in the secondary minerals, which shows evidence of an oxidizing atmosphere during their formation. Pb-isotopic analyses of individual minerals do not directly provide chronological information because of the disturbance of U-Pb decay system due to recent geologic alteration. However, systematic Pb-isotopic results from all of the minerals reveal the mobilization of fissiogenic isotopes, Pb and U from the reactor in association with dolerite dyke intrusion ∼0.798 Ga ago and the formation of the secondary minerals by mixing event between 2.05 Ga-old original minerals and reactor materials due to recent alteration.

Concentrations of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) range from 6.8 μg/g dust for anthracene to 142 μg/g dust for fluoranthene. Concentrations of highly carcinogenic PAH e.g. benzo(a)pyrene, benzofluoranthenes and benzo(a)anthracene range from 49 to 145.5 μg/g of dust. Significant concentrations (up to 35 μg/g of dust) of carcinogenic C22H14 PAHs (m/z 278) and C24H14 PAHs (m/z 302) were determined in all samples. Aromatic ketones and quinones as well as aromatic nitrogen and sulphur compounds with concentrations ranging from 2 to 45 μg/g of dust, were found in the polar NSO fraction. Molecular composition of hydrocarbons in the deposited dust is characteristic of the terrestrial organic matter, as suggested by the presence of long chain n-alkanes with odd carbon skeleton predominance, However, relatively high concentrations of steranes and distribution of homohopanes different from terrestrial organic matter suggest that part of extractable organic matter may be from diesel engine exhausts and/or paved road dust. The origin ofthe organic compounds adsorbed on the deposited dust is related to not complete coal combustion and possibly to other sources, such as automobile exhaust. The occurrence of phenyl-polyaromatic hydrocarbons and polyphenyls such as terphenyls, phenylnaphthalenes and their methyl derivatives, phenylphenanthrenes, phenylfluoranthenes and/or phenylpyrenes results from the free radical phenylation of aromatics during organic matter combustion.},

abstract = {The Strzeline granite in SW Poland is seen in hand specimens as a fresh rock, except for bleached, approximately 5-mm-thick zones around numerous hydrothermal veins. Detailed investigations revealed, however, that at least 20 % of the whole intrusion was significantly affected by hydrothermal fluids. The degree of the alteration of the granite ranges from apparently unaltered granite to heavily altered rocks, which consist of almost no primary minerals. The mineral assemblage of hydrothermally altered granite is the same as in the hydrothermal veins and consists of hydrothermal quartz, feldspars, chlorite, titanite, muscovite, sericite, prehnite, clinozoisite, laumontite, saussurite, kaolinite and calcite. Laumontite replaced both K-feldspars and plagioclase. Mass balance calculations suggest the input of calcium and water to the highly altered granite associated with silica removal that caused decrease in rock volume. Hydrothermal mineral assemblages in the Strzelin granite formed at P-T conditions corresponding to zeolite facies and even incomplete prehnite-pumpellyite facies of low-grade metamorphism.},

abstract = {The tropospheric dust loading in Upper Silesia (Poland) shows a steady, annually averaged supply of minerals from natural and anthropogenic sources, industrial dust emitters, domestic heating, transportation, but with superimposed seasonal changes for some dust types. Samples of airborne and deposited particles were collected at monthly intervals between 1996 and 2001 in several cities of Upper Silesia. Dust samples were examined by X-ray powder diffraction, analytical transmission electron microscopy, analytical scanning electron microscopy, and electron microprobe microanalysis. The most common dust included quartz, gypsum, coke, soot, hematite, magnetite, wüstite, bassanite, graphite and various K-, Fe- and Mg-bearing aluminosilicates, in order of decreasing abundance. Minor phases included α-iron, sulphur, sphalerite, halite, sylvite, hercynite, franklinite, baryte, dolomite, ankerite, apatite, olivine and feldspars. Quartz, and specific industrial minerals, e.g. spinels, sphalerite, olivine and iron, occurred throughout the year in almost constant abundances. The amounts of all other dust components show seasonal variations; gypsum, baryte and other sulphates are particularly abundant in winter. In general, minerals related to low-emission sources are abundant in the winter time, while both natural dusts and dust from high-emission sources are predominant during the summer. © 2003 The Mineralogical Society.},

This technique has rarely been employed in studies of metamict minerals. Changes in the experimental parameters of Mössbauer spectra are sensitive indicators of the thermal recrystallization process of metamict gadolinite and revealed two stages of the structural recovery: a major stage from 873 to 1073 K and a slower recovery stage from 1133 to 1473 K. These observations are confirmed by X-ray powder diffraction. In relation to the first stage, the exponential behaviour of the changes in the Mössbauer parameters can be used for deriving the activation energy Ea of the recrystallization process. The calculated value Ea = 1.97 eV in argon atmosphere explains the common occurrence of gadolinite in the fully or partially metamict state. Results of Mössbauer spectroscopy suggest that the recrystallization of metamict gadolinite is a displacive transition that involves rotation and translation of S O4 and BeO4 to their normal positions associated with removal of OH groups from the structure.},

There is no evidence for bunsenite in the chrysoprases. The occurrence of mineral inclusions containing Fe3+ ions modify the chrysoprase green colour by adding yellowish hue. The bluish hues result from the λ-dependent light scattering on microdefects in the chalcedony matrix, e.g. silica globules, nano-and micrometer mineral inclusions and gas-liquid inclusions.},

abstract = {Barite nanocrystals are common and abundant in the troposphere over the Upper Silesian Industrial Region, Poland. The presence of barite nanocrystals is the result of burning Ba-enriched coals (up to 4,260 ppm Ba). ATEM, ASEM and EPMA analyses provided evidence of inefficient coal burning for domestic purposes at temperatures of 800-900 °C as the cause of emissions of barite, which survived unmelted. Much higher temperatures of coal burning for industrial purposes resulted in thermal decomposition of barite into BaO, which could react with airborne sulfuric acid to produce nanometre-sized secondary barite. Formation of both the secondary barite and gypsum in the troposphere contributes to the lowering of acidity of rain over Upper Silesia. Barite nanocrystals are often embedded in sheets of hydrocarbon materials with sizes in the range of respirable aerosols; therefore, they may enter the human respiratory system.},

The crandallite minerals may have formed during syncriticality host-rock alteration, continous alteration of phosphates, episodic Pb-loss and/or supergene weathering. Coffinitization with P2O5 and SO4-substitution has occurred immediately below RZB and resulted in extensive loss of U (≤ 46%) and enrichment of Ce (≤ 190%) and Nd (≤ 780%). Additional loss of U during coffinitization also may have occurred due to dissolution. Current alteration under oxidizing conditions has resulted in partial dissolution of uraninite and coffinite and the formation of uranyl phases. Despite supergene alteration, the hydrogeochemistry (3.09 ppt U [235U/238U = 0.7012 to 0.7019%], 4.96 ppt Ce, and 1.92 ppt Nd) suggests a remarkable retardation of lanthanides and depleted uranium by REE-Sr-(Pb)-crandallites, uraninite, coffinite, and uranyl phases at RZB. © 2000 Materials Research Society.},

abstract = {The Cigar Lake unconformity-type U deposit is one of the largest and highest grade U deposits in the Proterozoic Athabasca Basin, northern Saskatchewan, Canada. Cigar Lake has recently been the focus of an international, 3-a, collaborative program in which this U deposit was studied as a natural analogue for a spent nuclear fuel repository. The deposit is located near the eastern margin of the Athabasca Basin, 430 m below the surface, at the intersection between Hudsonian-age faults and the unconformity between Athabasca group sandstones and Aphebian metasediments. Three stages of U mineralization have been identified based on cross-cutting relationships and textures observed in thin section and back-scattered electron (BSE) images, O isotope data and chemical compositions. All stages of U mineralization have been variably altered to Ca-rich, U-hydrate minerals or uranyl oxide hydrate minerals and coffinite. U-Pb chemical ages of the 3 stages of U mineralization from Cigar Lake coincide with the 3 major fluid events that precipitated clay and silicate minerals at 1500 Ma 950 Ma and 300 Ma, throughout the entire Athabasca Basin. Stage 1 and 2 uraninite and pitchblende have the lowest δ18O values that range from - 30.1‰ to - 15.2‰; whereas, stage 3 uraninite has δ18O values ranging from - 10.0‰ to - 3.4‰. Uranyl oxide hydrate minerals have δ18O values that range from -11.3‰ to -8.2‰; whereas, uranyl minerals have much higher δ18O values. Based on U-Pb chemical ages, δ18O values, and petrographic relationships of U alteration minerals associated with primary U mineralization, the Cigar Lake U ore is similar to U ore from other unconformity-type U deposits in the Athabasca Basin. Therefore, the Cigar Lake ore deposit, although surrounded by clay and sandstone barriers, has been effected by the same fluid events that have altered other unconformity-type U deposits in the Athabasca Basin. The 3 stages of ore formation and associated alteration minerals permit the detailed study of fluids responsible for U deposition and alteration. This information provides the necessary context for the evaluation of the Cigar Lake deposit as a 'natural analogue' for the disposal of spent nuclear fuel in underground vaults in rocks of the Canadian Shield.},

Numerous nanometer-sized Al-bearing silica grains and salt minerals are associated with the larger particles. They resulted from inefficient combustion of low-grade coals by the local industries whereby the silica particles are coal impurities that survived combustion. The total particle emission was constant during a 24 h period but silica shards dominated the nighttime emission while carbonaceous particles abounded during the daytime. This study showed that tropospheric particles in regions dominated by inefficient coal combustion are fundamentally different from typical coal fly ash spheres.},

Secondary uraninite and coffinite have precipitated on some of the florencite grains.

Chlorite chemistry varies with respect to position around the reactor: both di-tri and trioctahedral chlorites are present in hydrothermal veins within the argile de pile, dioctahedral chlorites are present in the FA formation within cm of the reactor core, trioctahedral chlorites are present within a meter of the reactor. Chemical data for the argile de pile and the FB formation suggest that formation of the former unit occurred as a result of thermal metamorphism of the FB pelites. as opposed to large-scale dissolution of the sandstones of the FA formation. Autoradiography is used to study the sorptive characteristics of the clays for actinides. The results show that actinide sorption varies in the order: chlorite > illite ≅ kaolinite.},

abstract = {Twenty-four samples of uranium ore from the natural fission reactors in Gabon were studied by detailed electron microprobe analysis and backscattered electron imaging in order to determine the behavior of radiogenic Pb and fissiongenic nuclides. Lead content in uraninite varies from 19 wt% PbO in relicts of pristine uraninite, which were found only in reactor zone 10, to less than 5 wt% in altered uraninites. Different mechanisms of Pb loss from uraninite prevailed in different reactor zones and included leaching, grain boundary diffusion, exsolution via continuous precipitation, and volume diffusion. As a result of these processes, Pb content in uraninites from all the reactor zones, except for reactor zone 10, are similar and vary around a mean value of 5.2 wt% PbO. All of these processes were thermally activated and episodic. The predominance of any single mechanism in a particular reactor zone was controlled by the accessibility of solutions to the uranium ore. The thermal event which caused Pb mobilization in the deposits resulted from regional igneous activity in the Franceville Basin more than 1100 Ma after the reactors sustained spontaneous fission reactions. Reducing conditions prevented the long distance migration of Pb, as well as of fissiongenic Mo and Ru. © 1995.},

Uraninite and untreated pitchblende oxidized to the U4O9-type oxide, and their X-ray symmetry remained isometric up to 300°C. Reduced pitchblende after oxidation to UO2 + x and U4O9-type oxides transformed into α-U3O8 at 300°C. Two major mechanisms control uraninite and untreated pitchblende stability during oxidation: (1) Th and/or REE maintain charge balance and block oxygen interstitials near impurity cations; (2) the uraninite structure saturates with respect to excess oxygen and radiation-induced oxygen interstitials. Untreated pitchblende during oxidation behaved similarly to irradiated UO2 in spent nuclear fuel; whereas, reduced pitchblende resembled nonirradiated UO2. An analysis of the data in the literature, as well as our own efforts to identify U3O7 in samples from Cigar Lake, Canada, failed to provide conclusive evidence of the natural occurrence of tetragonal α-U3O7. Most probably, reported occurrences of U3O7 are mixtures of isometric uraninites of slightly different compositions. © 1993.},

Samples that were fully metamict, and also amorphous regions of partially metamict samples, annealed according to the Ostwald step rule. After annealing, X-ray crystalline material still showed significantly damaged regions under transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Hydrothermal annealing of fully metamict gadolinite at 710° C and PH2O=2.3 kbar resulted in direct recrystallization. Direct recrystallization, by heterogeneous nucleation, occurred also in samples with significant amount of relict crystalline material. Of two exotherms observed on DTA curves for fully metamict gadolinite only one, at 840° C, resulted from recrystallization. The second exotherm at 895° C was related to the transformation of a transitional, high-temperature γ-phase into gadolinite. The activation energy of recrystallization of partially metamict gadolinite is 0.58 eV. The same annealing path for fully metamict gadolinite and for the amorphous component of partially metamict allanite is consistent with the model of an aperiodic random network structure of metamict minerals. © 1993 Springer-Verlag.},

abstract = {The behavior of uraninite under hydrothermal, reducing conditions is discussed on the basis of data in the literature and the authors' investigation of samples from two natural analogue sites: Oklo, Gabon and Cigar Lake, Canada. Uraninite under reducing conditions, in the presence of saline hydrothermal solutions may be altered through dissolution, preferential loss of lead and/or Y + HREE, and coffinitization. Textural features indicative of dissolution of uraninite include embayed grain boundaries, corroded relicts of uraninite embedded in a clay matrix, and replacement of uraninite by clays and sulfides. The alteration textures and phase chemistries at Oklo and Cigar Lake are remarkably similar. Dissolution of uraninite at Cigar Lake and Oklo was associated with the precipitation of illite and was probably caused by saline, moderately acidic solutions at approximately 200°C. Increased oxygen fugacity may have occurred locally due to release of excess oxygen from uraninite during dissolution or by α-radiolysis of the solution. The formation of Pb-rich (up to 18 wt% Pb, uraninite-I) and Pb-depleted (approximately 7-8 wt% Pb, uraninite-II) uraninites at both Oklo and Cigar Lake resulted from the loss of Pb due to predominantly episodic volume diffusion related to regional geologic events. Lead loss was not associated with U mobilization. In addition to uraninite dissolution, coffinitization resulted in U, Pb, and REE release. © 1992.},

This formula clarifies the relationship between structural properties (e.g., unit cell parameters), oxidation state (U6+/U4+ ratio), and phase transformations with increasing concentrations of excess oxygen. The formula demonstrates that the amount of excess oxygen required to compensate for increased positive charge due to U6+ is less than suggested by the amount of U6+ alone.
