Evidence of Tectonic Control on the Geochemical Features of the Volatiles Vented along the Nebrodi-Peloritani Mts (Southern Apennine Chain, Italy) by Francesco Italiano, Pietro Bonfanti, Salvatore Roberto Maugeri

“…The 3He/4He isotopic ratio in the range of 0.7-2.8 Ra highlights variable contributions of mantle-derived helium, representing an unusual feature for the crustal regime of the study areas characterized by the widespread presence of 4He-producer metamorphic rocks. The degassing of mantle helium is coherent with the tectonics and related to the NW-SE extensional regime of the Calabro-Peloritan Arc (CPA). …”

Electrokinetic in situ leaching of U from low-permeability uranium ore by Chunguang Li, Wenji Wang, Zhenzhong Liu, Yongmei Li, Qi Liu, Longcheng Liu

“…Various characterization techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (SEM-EDS), three-dimensional computed tomography (CT) pore scanning and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), showed that the electrokinetic-induced action overcame the preferential flow phenomena, promoted the dissolution of the target minerals and gangue rocks, and notably improved the pore structure to ultimately enhance the uranium leaching efficiency. …”

Sulfur Speciation in the Surface Sediments of Lakes from Different Regions, China: Characterization by S K-Edge XANES Spectroscopy by Wang Jingfu, Chen Jingan, Dai Zhihui, Yang Haiquan, Ma Chenyan

“…The results showed that sedimentary S in Qinghai Lake has a high proportion of sulfate averaged 88.9% due to physical weathering of watershed rocks, while deposited S in Taihu Lake has a high fraction of intermediate S (36.5%), which may be the response of the agricultural nonpoint source pollution in drainage basin. …”
