Nonhazardous Process for Extracting Pure Titanium Dioxide Nanorods from Geogenic Ilmenite
The current rate of industrial production of titanium dioxide, from natural ilmenite, is around 6500 kT per annum. The two main processes used, namely, sulfate and chloride processes, require concentrated corrosive acids and drastic conditions, such as ...

Vertical profiling of shock attenuation at the Rochechouart impact structure, France
Abstract Rochechouart, south‐west France, is a complex impact structure. Here, we present the first report of shock barometry of quartz from what are likely parautochthonous basement units at depth, based on samples from the 2017 C.I.R.I.R drilling campaign. The crystallographic orientations of 725 sets of PDFs in 512 quartz grains in samples from four

Magnetic properties of ilmenite Mn2FeSbO6 [PDF]
In the work presented the magnetic properties of the high pressure ilmenite phase Mn_2FeSbO_6 are investigated in detail. It is shown that Mn_2FeSbO_6 ilmenite is ferrimagnetic (T_N approximate to 270 K) and exhibits a near-zero coercive field H_C. Furthermore, the Mn^2+-Mn^2+, Fe^3+-Fe^3+ and Mn^2+-Fe^3+ magnetic exchange interactions exhibit gradual ...

Moon's volcanic history revealed in glassy spherules from Apollo 17 soil 76501
Abstract Rapidly quenched droplets of pyroclastically erupted lava are common in lunar regolith at landing sites proximal to the maria. Here, we document the U‐Pb chronologies, major element, and trace element compositions of picritic glassy particles from Apollo 17 regolith sample 76501. These particles are dominated by high‐Ti compositions similar to

Mesozoic-Cenozoic mafic magmatism in Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone, Zagros Orogen (Western Iran): geochemical and isotopic inferences from Middle Jurassic and Late Eocene gabbros [PDF]
One of the consequences of Neo-Tethys ocean subduction beneath the Central Iranian Micro-continent (CIMC) is the development of rare gabbroic intrusions in the Malayer-Boroujerd Plutonic Complex (MBPC) located in the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone (SaSZ) of the ...

Abstract Fossil micrometeorites (MMs) recovered from lithified sedimentary rocks, particularly iron‐rich (I‐type) cosmic spherules (CSs) provide valuable insights into past dust‐forming events. Their abundances, when combined with estimates of local sedimentation rates can be used to reconstruct the flux of extraterrestrial dust.

Metals' Adsorption Onto Environmental Microplastics at Shoreline Sediments
ABSTRACT This study assessed trace element concentrations and microplastic (MP) contamination in three sandy beaches on the southern coast of Ilha Grande (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil). Environmental MPs were manually extracted from sand samples, and beaches were classified using the microplastic pollution index (MPPI).
