CO2 Carbonation of Olivine-Admixed Marine Clay: Suitability for Bottom Liner Application
Applied Sciences, 2021 This paper focuses on employing an optimization approach in evaluating the hydraulic conductivity (HC) of CO2-carbonated olivine-admixed marine clay for possible utilization as a hydraulic barrier in engineered landfills to minimize leachate migration ...

Mineralogy and Petrology of an Olivine Diabase Sill Complex and Associated Unusually Potassic Granophyres, Sierra Ancha, Central Arizona [PDF]
, 1969 The Precambrian Sierra Ancha sill complex, 700 to 800 feet thick, was intruded into flat-lying sedimentary rocks of the Apache Group in central Arizona. The bulk of the complex consists of a central layer of feldspathic olivine-rich diabase and upper and

Olivine weathering in soil, and its effects on growth and nutrient uptake in Ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.): a pot experiment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Mineral carbonation of basic silicate minerals regulates atmospheric CO(2) on geological time scales by locking up carbon. Mining and spreading onto the earth's surface of fast-weathering silicates, such as olivine, has been proposed to speed up this ...

Analyzing the Magnesium (Mg) Number of Olivine on the Lunar Surface and Its Geological Significance
Remote Sensing, 2019 Olivine formation is directly related to Mg/Fe content. It is also significant in estimating the geological evolution of the moon. In this study, an estimation model of relative Mg number (Fo#) for lunar olivine was presented through multiple linear ...

Identification by Raman spectroscopy of Mg–Fe content of olivine samples after impact at 6kms?1 onto aluminium foil and aerogel: In the laboratory and in Wild-2 cometary samples [PDF]
, 2013 Olivine, (Mg, Fe)2[SiO4], is a common mineral in extraterrestrial materials, whose Mg–Fe content varies from the end-members Forsterite (Mg2SiO4: denoted ‘Fo’) to Fayalite (Fe2SiO4: denoted ‘Fa’), together with minor quantities of Ca, Cr, Mn and Ni ...

The structure and cryptic layering of the Pados-Tundra ultramafic complex, Serpentinite belt, Kola Peninsula, Russia [PDF]
Bulletin of the Geological Society of Finland, 2017 The Paleoproterozoic Pados-Tundra ultramafic complex, ~6 x 1.5-2.1 km in size and ~2.1 Ga in age, located in the Kola Peninsula of Russia, is the main representative of the Serpentinite belt in the northern Fennoscandian Shield.

Oxygen Isotopes and Volatiles in Martian Meteorite [PDF]
, 2013 Oxygen isotopes were measured in mineral separates from martian meteorites using laser fluorination and were found to be remarkably uniform in both δ18O and Δ17O, suggesting that martian magmas did not assimilate aqueously altered crust regardless of any

Extrinsic and intrinsic strength of amorphous olivine films [PDF]
European Journal of MineralogyNanoscale amorphous olivine (a-olivine) intracrystalline layers, which can form in olivine polycrystals under high stress, has the potential to influence the mechanical properties of the rock in the vicinity of the brittle–ductile transition.
