The Cedrolina Chromitite, Goiás State, Brazil: A Metamorphic Puzzle [PDF]
The Cedrolina chromitite body (Goiás-Brazil) is concordantly emplaced within talc-chlorite schists that correspond to the poly-metamorphic product of ultramafic rocks inserted in the Pilar de Goiás Greenstone Belt (Central Brazil). The chromite ore displays a nodular structure consisting of rounded and ellipsoidal orbs (up to 1.5 cm in size), often ...

Recycling Subducted Organic Carbon as Diamonds: An Example From the New Caledonia Forearc Ophiolite
Abstract Micro‐diamonds and moissanite (SiC) have been identified in ophiolitic mantle harzburgites and chromitites of the New Caledonian Peridotite Nappe. The pale yellow (100–250 μm) micro‐diamonds and light blue moissanite (mean −26.5‰, range −33.5‰ to −23.8‰ and mean −26.9‰, range −31.8‰ to −25.6‰ respectively) exhibit consistently strong negative ...

Chromite ores formation is still a debated topic and, in this study, detailed analyses of major, minor elements by EMPA and Rare Earth Elements (REE) by SIMS, were performed on silicate inclusions detected in chromite grains of chromitite pods, enveloping dunites and on clinopyroxene of lherzolitic host rock of well known Trodoos chromite ores.

Key Points Comprehensive review of dissolution‐decomposition methods based on acid attack and molten salt fusion. Dissolution remains the preferred method for many modern instrumental measurement principles e.g., ICP‐MS, ICP‐AES and TIMS. Comprehensive reviews of flux-free fusion for glasses and production of pressed powder pellets for analysis by EPMA,

Low Temperature Sabatier CO2 Methanation
This review exhaustively summarizes the advances made since the beginning of the century in the field of the Sabatier reaction conducted at temperatures less than or equal to 200 °C. Thermal catalysis as well as plasma‐assisted and photo‐assisted catalysis are described there.

Tibetan chromitites: Excavating the slab graveyard
Podiform chromitites enclosed in depleted harzburgites of the Luobusa massif (southeastern Tibet) contain diamond and a highly reduced trace-mineral association. Exsolution of diopside and coesite from chromite suggests inversion from the Ca-ferrite structure in the upper part of the mantle transition zone (>400 km).

Genesis of podiform chromitites – a review of models
Relevance of the work. Research aimed at identification of genesis of chromium ores in alpine-type hyperbasites has been conducted by scientists (geologists, petrologists and geochemists) around the world for more than a century. Nevertheless, the issue of their origin remains debatable to this day.
