Ilmenite Magnetite Hematite

Compositions [in terms of Ti/(Ti + Fe) at. %] of coexisting titanomagnetites (base) and ilmenite–hematite ss (top) re-equilibrated at 950°C in vacuo in the Fe–Ti–O system ... Consequently, the re-equilibrated 950°C assemblage displays higher magnetite and hematite contents; that is, a tie-line shifted to the left in Fig. 1.

Here we investigated ilmenite-hematite solid solution (Ilm ss ) relationships evident in preserved intergrowths of magnetite-rutile and ilmenite-hematite in the gabbro of the Xinjie layered intrusion. The crystallographic orientation and 3D morphology of the two intergrowth types constrain the transformation mechanism of the exsolution textures ...

The ilmenite-hematite (FeTiO 3 -Fe 2 O 3 ) solid solution (Ilm ss ) commonly occurs in layered intrusions (Harrison et al. 2000). Ilm ss tends to experience subsolidus re-equilibration and phase ...

Hematite will leave a red to red-brown streak on the plate, while magnetite will leave a black streak. Ilmenite: Ilmenite is a dense, black metallic mineral that can be confused with metallic hematite, but again the two mineral's streak should …

Ilmenite (TiO 2 · FeO) and hematite (Fe 2 O 3) minerals were used in the tests, together with a rutile concentrate produced previously from the oil sands tailings by Lakefield Research Ltd.The latter will be referred to as LR Rutile in this paper. The ilmenite and hematite, originating from St. Urbain, Quebec (Canada) and Hoyt Lake, Michigan (USA), respectively, …

The replacement of magnetite by hematite is commonly observed in various geologic systems, especially in banded iron formations (BIF), iron oxide copper-gold deposits, and iron skarn deposits (Angerer et al., 2012; Franchini et al., 2000; Ehrig et al., 2021).The transformation of magnetite to hematite was attributed to an oxidizing reaction, generally …

This study investigates magnetite exsolution in ilmenite from Fe-Ti oxide gabbro in the Xinjie intrusion, SW China. Exsolved magnetite lamellae in ilmenite contain nearly pure Fe 3 O 4 with ~1 wt% TiO 2.EBSD-based analyses indicate that the magnetite lamellae have close-packed oxygen planes and directions parallel to those in the host ilmenite with {111} Mag …

For example, Kletetschka and Stout (1998) found a region (Fig. 1) where the magnetization contrast was mainly due to RM carried by HISS mineralogy. In most cases, induced magnetization contrasts reflect the relative proportions of magnetite, which has a mass susceptibility three to four orders of magnitude larger than hematite and most of the other …

hematite and ilmenite belong to the trigonal system, they tend to form a coherent interface in solid transformation (Robinson et al. 2002); in contrast, rutile is tetragonal and magnetite cubic, so

Atomic-scale simulations of an R3̅ ilmenite lamella in a CAF hematite host, based on empirical cation-cation and spin-spin pair interaction parameters, show that contacts of the lamella are occupied by "contact layers" with a hybrid composition of Fe ions intermediate between Fe 2+-rich layers in ilmenite and Fe 3+-rich layers in hematite.

Therefore, we consider that the compressed ilmenite-hematite solid solution is an additional candidate source of other planetary magnetic anomalies including those in the Moon and Earth. INTRODUCTION Earth's magnetic anomalies are commonly attributed to the presence of magnetite, hematite, titanomagnetite, and pyrrhotite minerals. Magnetite ...

ILMAT is oriented solely on the ilmenite-magnetite geothermometry but it also calculates the oxygen fugacities based on the empirical approaches given by several authors (Andersen and Lindsley, 1985).This Excel ® worksheet is a simple interactive tool for petrologists who want to use their coexisting Fe–Ti oxide data without having to labour through the …

magnetite. Ilmenite occurs as small euhedral to subhedral crystal in mafic silicates or sub-hedral to anhedral crystals coexisting with magnetite. Hematite-ilmenite intergrowths of various ratios occurs in small amounts in mafic rocks. Iron sulfide, if any, is generally pyrite. Chalcopyrite may be seen in small amount. Martitization, hematite ...

The assumptions are as follows: (1) the remanence at 10 K is from all three phases, hematite + ilmenite + magnetite; (2) the remanence below the Verwey transition and above 40 K (from ∼50 to 100 K) is from magnetite + hematite; and (3) the room temperature remanence after warming is from hematite. While this is an oversimplification, the ...

The strike of the steeply dipping sediments is around 90°. Mineralization The tin mineralization in this area is generally associated with iron minerals such as magnetite, hematite, goethite, ilmenite etc; quartz-cassiterite veins are rare, so are other types such as greisen deposits.

Here we investigated ilmenite-hematite solid solution (Ilm ss) relationships evident in preserved intergrowths of magnetite-rutile and ilmenite-hematite in the gabbro of the Xinjie layered intrusion. The crystallographic orientation and 3D morphology of the two intergrowth types constrain the transformation mechanism of the exsolution

With just a glance it can easily be confused with hematite and magnetite. The differentiation is easy. Hematite has a red streak, while ilmenite has a black streak. Magnetite is strongly magnetic, while ilmenite is not magnetic. Occasionally ilmenite is weakly magnetic, possibly from small amounts of included magnetite.

sheet-like body of essentially massive hemo-ilmenite. Ore occurs in pure anorthosite with local hypersthene-rich zones overlain by coarsely banded hemo-ilmenite and anorthosite (Hammond, 1952). The hemo-ilmen-ite ore contains 2–3% MgO and about 1% MnO, with a bulk composition close to 71% ilmenite (Hargraves, 1959). Magnetite is rare in these ...

ferromagrretic ordering in hematite is parallel to the [0001] axls. Ilmenite is also antiferromagnetic. The magnetic mo-ments, however, are aligned parallel to the [0001] axis (Ishikawa et al., 1985). In ilmenite, the Fe2+ atoms are ffil-Fig. l. Pseudobinary phase diagram of the hematite-ilmenite solid solution series (Burton and Davidson, 1988).

Arrows illustrate the orientation of magnetic moments on each layer for pure hematite (above the Morin transition) and pure ilmenite. Note the two-layer and four-layer periodicities of the hematite and ilmenite magnetic …

A unique symplectitic intergrowth of magnetite + rutile is hosted by ilmenite in the gabbro of the Xinjie Fe-Ti oxide-bearing, mafic-ultramafic layered intrusion. The crystallization …

Ilmenite and hematite, but no magnetite, are also present in the apatite-actinolite caps at the Maria Ignacia and California apatite mines in the Coastal Cordillera of the Andes in Chile (Tornos et al. 2021). The magnetite in the alkali-calcic-iron alteration also has relatively high TiO 2 contents (see Velasco et al. 2016).

The Fe–Mg and Fe–Mn interdiffusion coefficients for ilmenite have been determined as a function of temperature and crystallographic orientation. Diffusion annealing experiments were conducted at 1.5 GPa between 800 and 1100 $$^{circ }hbox {C}$$ ∘ C . For Fe–Mg interdiffusion, each diffusion couple consisted of an ilmenite polycrystal and an …

Petrographic evidence such as 1) undeveloped crystal faces of magnetite and hematite, 2) irregular boundaries of the iron oxides, 3) ilmenite replacement by magnetite, and presence of ilmenite and magnetite inclusions in hematite, and 4) hematite pseudomorphs after magnetite reveal that iron oxides in igneous rocks crystallized under ...

Chemical equilibrium is suggested by the regular partitioning of Cr, V, Mg and Mn between coexisting hemo-ilmenite, ilmeno-hematite, and magnetite. The hematite-ilmenite miscibility gap has been ...

Combined electron microprobe, TEM, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate that hematite hosts reached a composition approximately ilmenite (Ilm) 14.4, and ilmenite hosts ∼Ilm 98. The bulk of the very stable NRM, which shows thermal unblocking ∼595–620°C, was acquired during final exsolution in the two-phase region canted ...
