Cyanobacterial Mats in Calcite-Precipitating Serpentinite-Hosted Alkaline Springs of the Voltri Massif, Italy

Microorganisms, 2020
(1) Background: Microbial communities in terrestrial, calcifying high-alkaline springs are not well understood. In this study, we investigate the structure and composition of microbial mats in ultrabasic (pH 10–12) serpentinite springs of the Voltri ...

Fluid‐Mediated Mass Transfer Between Mafic and Ultramafic Rocks in Subduction Zones

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Metasomatic reaction zones between mafic and ultramafic rocks exhumed from subduction zones provide a window into mass‐transfer processes at high pressure.

Investigation of Magnetic Separation and Thermal Treatment Effects, Combined with Additives (Mineral Oxides), on Serpentinized Peridotites from the Gerakini (Chalkidiki, N. Greece) Magnesite Mine

Materials Proceedings, 2022
Serpentinized peridotite samples—considered nowadays as deposited waste at the magnesite mine of Gerakini (Chalkidiki, N. Greece)—were collected, and their chemical and mineralogical characterization analyzed with Energy-Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (ED-

Application of the shrinking core model for dissolution of serpentinite in an acid solution

E3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Serpentinites have the potential to be used as carbo dioxide capture and storage materials. Acid dissolution is the first stage of this process. This study examined how a shrinking core model can be applied to the dissolution of serpentinite in sulphuric

Tracking Subsurface Active Weathering Processes in Serpentinite

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
We conducted a novel study to capture the on‐going advancement of mineral weathering within a serpentinite formation by using an integrated approach of multi‐scale quantitative rock magnetic analyses and nano‐resolution geochemical imaging analyses.

A Study on Surface Modification Characteristics and Charge–Discharge Mechanism of Natural Serpentinite Ore Secondary Battery

Inorganics, 2023
This study conducts low-vacuum sulfidation to form a sulfidation layer on the serpentinite-derived magnesium iron silicate, thereby enhancing its electrochemical properties. Results show (Mg,Fe)2SiO4 calcined at 900 °C has the best crystallinity, and the

Geology of Montecastelli Pisano (inner Northern Apennines, Italy): normal and transfer fault zones affecting a dismantled ophiolite bearing orogenic wedge

Journal of Maps, 2023
We present the geological map (1:10.000) of the Montecastelli Pisano area, where (i) the relationships between Neogene-Quaternary transfer and normal faults have been carefully mapped (Sheet 1), and (ii) the mantle sequence of the Ligurian Ocean has been

Dynamic earthquake rupture preserved in a creeping serpentinite shear zone

Nature Communications, 2018
Creeping serpentinite shear zones may host large earthquakes, but direct evidence of frictional heating and rupture have been missing. Here, the authors demonstrate via laboratory experiments that earthquake ruptures can propagate through serpentinite ...
