Abstract Despite Nb and Ta being considered as 'geochemical twins', most Ta mineral
deposits are associated with muscovite-bearing peraluminous granites and related …

Abstract The Jiajika lithium (Li) deposit in Sichuan Province is the largest pegmatite-type Li
deposit in China. The petrogenesis and metallogenesis of the Jiajika granitic pegmatites …

We present new experimental apatite/melt trace element partition coefficients for a large
number of trace elements (Cs, Rb, Ba, La, Ce, Pr, Sm, Gd, Lu, Y, Sr, Zr, Hf, Nb, Ta, U, Pb …

We report the results of monazite/melt partitioning experiments conducted in the piston-
cylinder apparatus at 10–50kbar and 750–1200° C, using a synthetic granite mix with …

The Baerzhe alkaline granite pluton hosts one of the largest rare metal (Zr, rare earth
elements, and Nb) deposits in Asia. It contains a geological resource of about 100 Mt at …

The transport, degassing and atmospheric release of halogens from active volcanism on
Earth have been the focus of increasing interest over the last few decades, and have …

Liquid–liquid partitioning of 42 elements between synthetic silicate melts and immiscible
fluoride, chloride, carbonate, phosphate and sulfate liquids was studied at temperatures of …

Abstract The West African craton (WAC) was constructed during the Archaean and the c. 2
Ga Palaeoproterozoic Eburnian orogeny. Mesoproterozoic quiescence at c. 1.7–1.0 Ga …

Granitic pegmatites are considered significant host rocks for the rare metal deposits.
However, the enrichment mechanisms for the rare metal elements (eg, Li, Be, Nb and Ta) …

Highly differentiated igneous rocks can, in some cases, have 56Fe/54Fe ratios that are
significantly higher than those of mafic-to intermediate-composition igneous rocks. Iron …
