Item Geochemistry and isotopic signatures of metavolcanic and metaplutonic rocks of the Faina and Serra de Santa Rita greenstone belts, Central Brazil : evidences for a Mesoarchean intraoceanic arc.(2017) Borges, Caio César Aguiar; Toledo, Catarina Labouré Bemfica; Silva, Adarlêne Moreira; Chemale Júnior, Farid; Jost, Hardy; Lana, Cristiano de CarvalhoThe Archean-Paleoproterozoic Terrane of Goiás, Central Brazil, is an allochthonous block within the Neoproterozoic Tocatins Province and consists of an association of Archean TTG complexes and goldbearing Archean-Paleoproterozoic greenstone belts. The Faina and Serra Santa Rita greenstone belts, located in the southern portion of the terrane, are investigated using geochemistry and isotope geology to establish the time of magmatism and tectonic environment. Our data show that the ultramafic rocks have some chemical characteristics similar to modern boninites, whereas the amphibolites are subdivided into two groups: the type 1 basalts group are tholeiites with flat REE patterns and are similar to back-arc basin basalts; the type 2 basalts group have high Nb contents and are comparable to Nbenriched basalts. Felsic to intermediate rocks present some of the main chemical diagnostic features of adakites, in which the metandesites and metatonalites are comparable to high-SiO2 adakites, and the metadiorites, characterized by very high MgO, Cr and Ni contents, are comparable to low-SiO2 adakites or high-Mg andesites. Metavolcanic and metaplutonic rocks show two main periods of magmatic crystallization ages with juvenile and slightly crustal contaminated rocks. The first occurred at 2.96–2.92 Ga with positive ƐNd (t) values of +2.16 to +2.77, while the second formed at 2.8 Ga with slightly negative ƐNd (t) value of 0.15. The volcanic and plutonic protoliths of the two greenstone belts were formed in an intraoceanic forearc-arc-back-arc system. The initial stage corresponds to ultramafic lava eruption in the forearc region of a proto-island arc, at 2.96 Ga. The evolution of the island arc and subduction progression led to oceanic slab-melting and generation of adakites. At 2.92 Ga, the adakitic melt was totally consumed by peridotite mantle and the subsequent melting of these hybridized mantle wedge generated high-Mg andesites that lodged in the crust as dioritic intrusions with high MgO, Cr and Ni contents. The late-stage corresponds to a continental arc formation at 2.8 Ga, marked by tonalitic magmatism and amalgamation with other island arcs and continental arcs of the TTG complexes of the Archean- Paleoproterozoic Terrane of Goiás.Item Application of sodium - and biogenic sulfide to the precipitation of nickel in a continuous reactor.(2013) Gonzaga, Flávia Donária Reis; Silva, Adarlêne Moreira; Cunha, Emmanoelle Cintra da; Leão, Versiane AlbisAttention has been focused in recent decades upon the precipitation of metal sulfides from acid mine drainage (AMD) and pregnant leach solutions, due to the advantages of the sulfide precipitation process over traditional methods employing hydroxides. The aim of this work was thus to explore Technologies for the precipitation of valuable metals, such as nickel using such sulfides (as either Na2S or biogenic sulfide). The recovery of nickel sulfide was improved when the initial pH of the solution containing each metal was set to 7. In such a condition the removal efficiency of nickel was 99.9%, corresponding to a residual level of 0.13 mg /L for nickel in solution. Kinetic parameters for precipitation were determined from the particle size distributions (produced in an MSMPR reactor) using the method of moments, where the growth and nucleation rates, as well the agglomeration kernel, were calculated. The precipitation of nickel at an initial pH of 7 showed a nucleation rate value of 8.16 x 1018#m^-3 s^-1, the highest volumetric growth rate (1.03 x 10^1 um^-3 s^-1) and agglomeration kernel of 9.71 x 10^-23m3 #^-1 s^-1. The biogenic sulfide was a suitable alternative to sodium sulfide for nickel removal. Both sodium sulfide and biogenic sulfide can be utilized to precipitate nickel as millerite (NiS), allowing the effluent compliant with environmental legislation.Item Treatment of high-manganese mine water with limestone and sodium carbonate.(2012) Silva, Adarlêne Moreira; Cunha, Emmanoelle Cintra da; Gonzaga, Flávia Donária Reis; Leão, Versiane AlbisManganese is one of the most difficult elements to remove from mine waters, due to its high solubility in both acid and neutral conditions; thus it can be found in quite high concentrations, depending on the rock’s mineralogy. Metal carbonate precipitation can be an effective way for its removal, as manganese carbonate has been detected in net alkaline mine waters. However, limestone is effective in removing manganese only if the metal content is low. This research sought to study manganese precipitation from high-manganese (140 mL) content mine waters applying sodium carbonate and limestone mixtures. It was observed that besides the total carbonate concentration, pH plays a key role on manganese carbonate formation. Provided the pH solution is above 8.5, 99.9% manganese removal can be achieved with carbonate ions. Although not required for manganese precipitation, limestone acts as a solid substrate for the nucleation of fine manganese carbonate grains. Infrared spectroscopy showed manganese carbonate precipitation on the limestone surface. Magnesium was also removed from the mine water but magnesium carbonate formation was not observed.Item Mine water treatment with limestone for sulfate removal.(2012) Silva, Adarlêne Moreira; Lima, Rosa Malena Fernandes; Leão, Versiane AlbisLimestone can be an option for sulfate sorption, particularly from neutral mine drainages because calcium ions on the solid surface can bind sulfate ions. This work investigated sulfate removal from mine waters through sorption on limestone. Continuous stirred-tank experiments reduced the sulfate concentration from 588.0 mg/L to 87.0 mg/L at a 210-min residence time. Batch equilibrium tests showed that sulfate loading on limestone can be described by the Langmuir isotherm, with a maximum loading of 23.7 mg/g. Fixed-bed experiments were utilized to produce breakthrough curves at different bed depths. The Bed Depth Service Time (BDST) model was applied, and it indicated sulfate loadings of up to 20.0 g (SO4)2− /Lbed as the flow rate increased from 1 to 10 mL/min. Thomas, Yoon–Nelson and dose–response models, predicted a maximum particle loading of 19 mg/g. Infrared spectrometry indicated the presence of sulfate ions on the limestone surface. Sulfate sorption on limestone seems to be an alternative to treating mine waters with sulfate concentrations below the 1200–2000 mg/L range, where lime precipitation is not effective. In addition, this approach does not require alkaline pH values, as in the ettringite process.Item Manganese and limestone interactions during mine water treatment.(2010) Silva, Adarlêne Moreira; Cruz, Flávio Luciano dos Santos; Lima, Rosa Malena Fernandes; Teixeira, Mônica Cristina; Leão, Versiane AlbisManganese removal from mining-affected waters is an important challenge for the mining industry. Addressed herein is this issue in both batch and continuous conditions. Batch experiments were carried out with synthetic solutions, at 23±2 ◦C, initial pH 5.5 and 8.3 g limestone/L. Similarly, continuous tests were performed with a 16.5 mg/L Mn2+ mine water, at 23 ◦C, initial pH 8.0 and 20.8 g limestone/L. Calcite limestone gave the best results and its fine grinding proved to the most effective parameter for manganese removal. In either synthetic solutions or industrial effluents, the final manganese concentration was below 1 mg/L. A change in limestone surface zeta potential is observed after manganese removal and manganese carbonate formation was suggested by IR spectroscopy. The conclusion is that limestone can remove manganese from industrial effluents for values that comply with environmental regulations.Item The elution of metal cyanocomplexes from polyacrylic - and polystyrene-based ion exchange resins using nitrate and thiocyanate eluants.(2007) Riani, Josiane Costa; Leão, Versiane Albis; Silva, Carlos Antônio da; Silva, Adarlêne Moreira; Bertolino, Sueli Moura; Luckey, G. C.Ion exchange resins can potentially be applied in cyanide recycling to address growing environmental concerns over the use of cyanide during gold extraction. In the present work the elution of copper-, iron-, and zinc-cyanocomplexes from polyacrylic- and polystyrene-based resins was studied. It was found that iron and copper cyanides are easily eluted from polyacrylic- and polystyrene-based ion exchange resins using either SCN- or NO3-. However, elution of the zinc cyanide complex from polystyrene-based resins was poor when using nitrate solution as eluant. Besides, an increase in elution temperature from 25 °C to 50 °C improved the elution of iron and zinc cyanides from polystyrene-based resins using a nitrate eluant; however temperature did not have any significant effect on other metal cyanocomplexes or for elution using thiocyanate. It was therefore proposed that the optimal combination of resin-eluant was site-specific, and depends on the features of the effluent, processing temperature, eluant concentration, and ion exchange resin under consideration.
