В юго-западной части Большого Кавказа в среднем течении р. Мзымты встречаются палеогеновые субщелочные породы основного и среднего составов. Проведено петрографическое и геохимическое изучение пород и приведены результаты их анализов методами RFA, ICP-MS. Установлено обогащение пород LILe, REE, HFSE, концентрации которых сопоставимы с OIB. Выявлена геохимическая редкометалльно–редкоземельная специализация пород БТФ, а их металлогеническая специализация – ртутная и титановая. Показано, что исходные расплавы возникли при 2-3% плавлении шпинелевого перидотита. Предполагается, что причиной появления частичных выплавок в верхней мантии являлись тектонические процессы, затронувшие территорию юго-западной окраины Скифской плиты, и синхронные с процессами рифтообразования, развивавшимися в эоцене в Черноморском регионе и Аджаро-Триалетском прогибе. In the south-western parts of Geater Caucasus in the middle cource of river Mzimta the Paleogenic subalkaline rocks of basic and medial composition are occur. Petrographical and geochemical investigation have been carrying out and results of its analysis by RFA, ICP-MS methods was done. Enrichment of rocks by LILe, REE, HFSE, concentration of which are comparison with OIB have been identify. Rare-metal and rare-earth geochemical specialization of BTF rock is identified and its mercury and titanium metallogenic specialization. It is shown, that primary melts are appears in 2-3% melting of spinel peridotite. It is suggested that the reason of initiation of the partial melting in the upper mantle was a tectonic processes, which are touched on area of south-western margin of Scythian plate, synchronous with processes of rifting which are developing in Eocene in Black Sea area and in Adjaro-Trialeti depression

The purpose of this study was to characterize some types of biomass wastes resulted from different activities such as: agriculture, forestry and food industry using thermogravimetric and ICP-MS analyses. Also, it was optimized an ICP-MS method for the determination of As, Cd and Pb from biomass ash samples. The ICP-MS analysis revealed that the highest concentration of metals (As, Cd, Pb) was recorded in the wood waste ash sample, also the thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the highest amount of ash was obtained for the same sample (26.82%). The biomass wastes mentioned in this study are alternative recyclable materials, reusable as pellets and briquettes. Keywords: ash, biomass, ICP-MS, minor elements, TG

AbstractThe occurrence of phlogopite and amphibole in mantle ultramafic rocks is widely accepted as the modal effect of metasomatism in the upper mantle. However, their simultaneous formation during metasomatic events and the related sub-solidus equilibrium with the peridotite has not been extensively studied. In this work, we discuss the geochemical conditions at which the pargasite-phlogopite assemblage becomes stable, through the investigation of two mantle xenoliths from Mount Leura (Victoria State, Australia) that bear phlogopite and the phlogopite + amphibole (pargasite) pair disseminated in a harzburgite matrix. Combining a mineralogical study and thermodynamic modelling, we predict that the P–T locus of the equilibrium reaction pargasite + forsterite = Na-phlogopite + 2 diopside + spinel, over the range 1.3–3.0 GPa/540–1500 K, yields a negative Clapeyron slope of -0.003 GPa K–1 (on average). The intersection of the P–T locus of supposed equilibrium with the new mantle geotherm calculated in this work allowed us to state that the Mount Leura xenoliths achieved equilibrium at 2.3 GPa /1190 K, that represents a plausible depth of ~ 70 km. Metasomatic K-Na-OH rich fluids stabilize hydrous phases. This has been modelled by the following equilibrium equation: 2 (K,Na)-phlogopite + forsterite = 7/2 enstatite + spinel + fluid (components: Na2O,K2O,H2O). Using quantum-mechanics, semi-empirical potentials, lattice dynamics and observed thermo-elastic data, we concluded that K-Na-OH rich fluids are not effective metasomatic agents to convey alkali species across the upper mantle, as the fluids are highly reactive with the ultramafic system and favour the rapid formation of phlogopite and amphibole. In addition, oxygen fugacity estimates of the Mount Leura mantle xenoliths [Δ(FMQ) = –1.97 ± 0.35; –1.83 ± 0.36] indicate a more reducing mantle environment than what is expected from the occurrence of phlogopite and amphibole in spinel-bearing peridotites. This is accounted for by our model of full molecular dissociation of the fluid and incorporation of the O-H-K-Na species into (OH)-K-Na-bearing mineral phases (phlogopite and amphibole), that leads to a peridotite metasomatized ambient characterized by reduced oxygen fugacity.

AbstractThis study presents new secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) reference materials (RMs) for measuring water contents in nominally anhydrous orthopyroxenes from upper mantle peridotites. The enstatitic reference orthopyroxenes from spinel peridotite xenoliths have Mg#s between 0.83 and 0.86, Al2O3 ranges between 4.02 and 5.56 wt%, and Cr2O3 ranges between 0.21 and 0.69 wt%. Based on Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) characterizations, the water contents of the eleven reference orthopyroxenes vary from dry to 249 ± 6 µg/g H2O. Using these reference grains, a set of orthopyroxene samples obtained from variably altered abyssal spinel peridotites from the Atlantic and Arctic Ridges as well as from the Izu-Bonin-Mariana forearc region was analyzed by SIMS and FTIR regarding their incorporation of water. The major element composition of the sample orthopyroxenes is typical of spinel peridotites from the upper mantle, characterized by Mg#s between 0.90 and 0.92, Al2O3 between 1.66 and 5.34 wt%, and Cr2O3 between 0.62 and 0.96 wt%. Water contents as measured by SIMS range from 68 ± 7 to 261 ± 11 µg/g H2O and correlate well with Al2O3 contents (r = 0.80) and Cr#s (r. = -0.89). We also describe in detail an optimized strategy, employing both SIMS and FTIR, for quantifying structural water in highly altered samples such as abyssal peridotite. This approach first analyzes individual oriented grains by polarized FTIR, which provides an overview of alteration. Subsequently, the same grain along with others of the same sample is measured using SIMS, thereby gaining information about homogeneity at the hand sample scale, which is key for understanding the geological history of these rocks.

Background: Literature evidences as well as traditional uses of genus Alphonsea reveal significant antimicrobial and anti-oxidant activity, which encourages to consider A. madraspatana to have potent antimicrobials, there by offering potential adjuncts to synthesize improved antimicrobial Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The objective of the present exposition is to optimize reaction parameters to synthesize antimicrobial Biogenic Silver nanoparticles (BAgNPs) from extract of A. madraspatana leaves (AML) and to evaluate the effect against bacteria. Methods: BAgNPs was synthesized by optimized reaction. The Synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by UV, IR, ICP-MS and XRD analysis. The antibacterial potency of optimized BAgNPs was evaluated against E. coli by comparing with positive controls. Results: Results of optimization process indicate nanoscale BAgNPs were produced at operating temp. of 45°C for 120 min at pH 8 with 1:5 volume ratio of AgNO3 and extract. Optimized BAgNPs exhibits relatively higher antimicrobial activity (31±1mm) compared to Ciprofloxacin (27±1mm) and marketed nano silver (28± 2 mm). The developed BAgNPs shows comparable biofilm inhibition (86.50%) as compared to marketed nano silver (88.10%) and Ciprofloxacin (83.10%). Conclusion: Experimental evidence suggests methanolic extract of AML under predefined conditions successfully generate nano-template of silver with better antibacterial response against E. coli.
