Manganese modified silicate ore (MnSO) prepared using an impregnation method was used as a heterogeneous ozonation catalyst, and the catalytic activity was evaluated by the degradation of ciprofloxacin (CIP). The results showed that the manganese oxide was successfully loaded onto natural silicate ore (SO). The degradation and mineralization efficiencies of CIP were considerably improved in the presence of MnSO. Under optimal conditions, the CIP removal process followed the pseudo-first-order reaction model well. The degradation rate constant of MnSO/O was 1.7 times and 3.3 times higher than those of SO/O and only O, respectively. During the ozonation of the CIP aqueous solution in the presence of MnSO, the TOC removal rate reached 61.2% at 60 min, but was only 30.8% using ozonation alone. The addition of -butanol (TBA) significantly inhibited the degradation efficiency of CIP, which indicated that catalytic ozonation of MnSO followed a hydroxyl radical (·OH) reaction mechanism. Furthermore, MnSO showed great stability and durability over several reaction cycles.

Sulfide-rich continental roots at cratonic margins formed by carbonated melts.
Nature

School of Natural Sciences, Macquarie University, North Ryde, New South Wales, Australia.
The cratonic crust contains abundant mineral deposits of metals such as gold, copper and rare earths and is underlain by a thick mantle lithosphere rich in the volatiles carbon, sulfur and water. Although volatiles are known to be key components in metallogenesis, how and where they are distributed in the cratonic lithosphere mantle and their role in the initial enrichment of metals have not been sufficiently explored. Here we compile sulfur and copper contents of global cratonic peridotites, identifying sulfide-rich and copper-rich continental roots at depths of 160-190 km at cratonic margins.

The Malanjkhand chalcopyrite deposit, India's primary copper ore producer, has potential for enhanced flotation performance. This study employs standard flotation experiments using a mechanical cell, integrating a conventional collecting agent with a novel ester-based collector blend. A three-factor, three-level Box-Behnken design systematically evaluated experimental parameters, analysed using ANOVA, cubic plots, response surface methodologies.

The core-mantle differentiation process plays a pivotal role in redistributing material on a massive scale, shaping the long-term evolution of rocky planets. Understanding this process is crucial for gaining insights into the accretion and evolution of planets like Mars. However, the details of Mars's core-mantle differentiation remain poorly understood due to limited compositional data for its core and mantle.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on creating iron ore tailings-blast furnace slag (IOT-BFS)-based geopolymers with adjustable setting times and high compressive strength for civil engineering applications.
- Key factors influencing the setting time include the content of iron ore tailings, alkali content, liquid-solid ratio, and the modulus of alkaline activators, which were thoroughly analyzed.
- Results show that adjusting the modulus of the alkaline activator significantly affects the setting time, allowing control from around 3 minutes to 108 minutes, enabling tailored geopolymers for diverse construction needs.
Lithium isotope evidence for a plumeworld ocean in the aftermath of the Marinoan snowball Earth.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A
November 2024
Department of Geosciences, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA 24061.
Article Synopsis
- The snowball Earth hypothesis suggests that during the Marinoan ice age around 635 million years ago, continental chemical weathering was greatly reduced but then increased afterward.
- Research conducted on lithium isotope compositions in rock layers from South China shows a distinct trend of decreasing lithium levels as distance from the shore increases, indicating the mixing of meltwater and hypersaline seawater.
- The findings support the idea that during this period, weak weathering on land and strong reverse weathering on the ocean floor influenced the chemistry of the oceans, aligning with the plumeworld hypothesis.
