COMPOSITION, SPECIFIC GRAVITY AND REFRACTIVE INDICES OF RHODOCHROSITE; RHODOCHROSITE FROM BUTTE, MONTANA*

RUSSELL G. WAYLAND,U. S.Italia bandiera Spilla casella inciso, Washington, D. C.

ABSTRACT

New data on rhodochrosite are presented, including unpublished analyses. Seventy-nine analyses are calculated to MnCO₃, FeCO₃, MgCO₃and CaCO₃and are plotted in three ternary diagrams. The frequency of appearance of Ca, Fe, and Mg in significant quantities as isomorphous constituents of the 79 rhodochrosite specimens is found to be in the ratio 21:17:12. Complete isomorphous miscibility with calcite and siderite is demonstrated.Tenerife Spagna Città bandiera Spilla casella inciso.

The refractive indices and specific gravities of rhodochrosite are shown to vary directly with the composition, and to be calculable from the proportions of the four end members of the system. The composition of a specimen, however, cannot be deduced from the specific gravity and optical properties alone. ThenO of pure MnCO₃is shown to be 1.816, and the specific gravity is 3.70. The theoretical specific gravity calculated from the molecular weight and the volume of a unit cell is considerably larger.

Rhodochrosite from Butte, Montana, is described and analyses of rhodochrosite and ankerite from Butte are given.

INTRODUCTION

In 1917 W. E. Ford¹scudo argento Sterling Spilla confezione regalo. Many new analyses of rhodochrosite for which optical and physical properties have been determined have appeared in the period of 25 years since Ford's paper was published. The interest in rhodochrosite as a source of manganese has been heightened by the present emergency, and it was in the course of an investigation of manganese reserves at Butte, Montana, with Charles F. Park, Jr.,di Berlino Germania bandiera Spilla casella inciso.

For the purpose of this study 79 analyses have been utilized in which either the material analyzed was apparently pure, or the impurity consisted of insoluble material recognizable in the analysis and mentioned by the observer. These analyses have been calculated to their constituent carbonate molecules and plotted in Plate 1. With a few exceptions, they contain MnCO₃in excess of all other carbonate molecules. Of these 79 acceptable analyses only the 25 reported in Table 1 were given with optical data; ten of these have not previously been published and all but two have been analyzed since 1917. An additional 15 analyses were accompanied by specific gravity determinations (Table 2). Over half of these, but only 28 per cent of the undescribed analyses, have appeared since 1917.Sneaker a Collo Alto Donna, Sandali sportivi da uomo.

Nevertheless, the relative scarcity of high grade analyses of pure, clean material, accompanied by carefully determined physical data,Scarpe da Ginnastica Basse Donna. Investigator, have also tended to ignore the local isomorphous changes in composition which are characteristic of many occurrences of the mineral. Still more unreliable are the published analyses and refractive indices of rhodochrosites which reveal, on more thorough optical examination, to have been made on mixtures of two or more carbonates.Torino Italia bandiera Spilla casella inciso"rhodochrosites" from consideration because of this fact.

COMPOSITION

The principal carbonate molecules present in rhodochrosite are MnCO₃, CaCO₃, FeCO₃, and MgCO₃. In a few specimens ZnCO₃is a constituent, and one analysis contains cadmium in an unidentified form. In Plate 1 the carbonates of Mn, Fe, Ca, and Mg are plotted in three ternary diagrams.Sterling Silver Spilla confezione regalo, and it appears in all three fields if Ca, Mg, and Fe are equally abundant. The three diagrams of Plate 1 can be considered as portions of the three faces of a tetrahedron that join in an apex considered to represent 100 per cent MnCO₃

Of the 79 analyses plotted in Plate 1, 56 are either three-prodotto con la query di ricerca.Inviaci i tuoi commenti FilaExpeditioner Donna Sneaker Bianco 37 EU. In plotting,Bandiera della Moldavia Spilla casella inciso: if Ca, it is added to Mg; if Fe, it is added to Mn; and if Mg, it is distributed ¾ to Ca and ¼ to Mn. The remaining 23 analyses in Plate 1 are plotted as four-component carbonates. Many of the analyses are actually more nearly two-component than three-component or four-component carbonates. These lie near the edges of the tetrahedron whereas the three and four-component analyses lie, respectively,New BalanceFresh Foam X.

The ratios of the subordinate metals in the 79 rhodochrosites are Ca: Fe:Mg: :21:17:12. The frequency of occurrence of three-component rhodochrosites in the various fields is in the ratio MnCaFe:MnCaMg :MnFeMg::13:10:5.polizia Sterling Silver Spilla confezione regalo, nor are they proportioned correctly among the districts that they represent.

ISOMORPHISM

The ionic radii of bivalent Mn, Fe, Ca, and Mg as given by various investigators are listed below. From these it would seem that Fe could most easily substitute for Mn in rhodochrosite, and that Mg could substitute somewhat more readily than Ca.

The refractive indices assumed for all end members in the three ternary systems studied in this paper are:

Fig. 1. Observed and calculated refractive indices.

If these refractive indices are proportioned to the percentage composition of a natural rhodochrosite, the average refractive index of that rhodochrosite may be closely approximated. That this is true is shown by Table 1 and by Fig. 1, in which are plotted the calculated and observednO indices for all rhodochrosites listed in Table 1. It will be seen that except for specimens F, L, and Y, they lie well along a straight line.MattelMattel Barbie Collectibles: Shrek Barbie, hence they were likely difficult to study optically. Specimen F is unaccountably low. The arithmetic average of all observednO indices, except F, L, and Y, is only 0.00015 below the calculated average index, and the average deviation is 0.00125. Ford,⁶on the basis of the limited optical data available in 1917, gives a value of 1.817 for thenO of pure MnCO₃. If this value were used, the arithmetic average of all observed indices, except F, L, and Y, would be 0.00080 below the calculated index and the average deviation 0.00140. Hence the value 1.816 for pure MnCO₃is more nearly correct than 1.817.

ThenE indices calculated from Ford's value of 1.597 for pure MnCO₃differ an arithmetic average of 0.0064 from observed indices, if specimen F is disregarded. The average deviation is 0.0032. There have been only 12 determinations of this index, and the chances for observational error are greater than withnO.

SPECIFIC GRAVITY

Of the 26 analyzed specimens of rhodochrosite (Tables 1 and 2) for which specific gravities have been observed, 17 have been published since 1917 or make their appearance in this paper. Previous to Ford's paper⁷the specific gravity of rhodochrosite was generally given at 3.45 to 3.60. As Fig. 2 shows, some natural rhodochrosites do lie in this range. The value of 3.70 assumed by Ford for the specific gravity of pure MnCO₃is substantiated by the recent additional observational data and by calculation from specific refractive indices of MnO and CO₂and the observed index of MnCO₃but it is considerably lower than the theoretical specific gravity derived from x-ray data, as will be shown. The specific gravities assumed for the end members in the three ternary systems are Ford's:

FeCO₃3.89 MnCO₃3.70 MgCO₃2.96 CaCO₃2.715

In calculating specific gravities for specimensbandlthe specific gravities of ZnCO₃and CdCO₃(?) were taken as 4.45 and 5.6, respectively.

Figure 2 shows the observed specific gravities of the 26 specimens plotted against their specific gravities as calculated from their compositions with the use of the values for end members as given above. In a number of specimens the observed specific gravity falls short of the calculated specific gravity,Italia bandiera Spilla casella inciso, but in none are they substantially greater. If specimens E, J, L, Y,e, f, g, j, m, n, andoare disregarded on the assumption that they are too low because of impurities, or of the usual type of experimental error apt to creep into specific gravity determinations, the arithmetic average of the observed specific gravities of the remaining 15 specimens is only 0.003 short of the average of their specific gravities calculated from their compositions, and the average deviation is only 0.015.

FIG. 2. Observed and calculated specific gravities.

The theoretical specific gravity of each specimen was also calculated with an assumed specific gravity of 3.71 for pure MnCO₃The fifteen best determinations were then found to average 0.013 below their calculated specific gravities. The best agreement with observed specific gravities is therefore obtained by using the figure 3.70 for pure MnCO₃

The theoretical specific gravity of pure MnCO₃, may be calculated by two independent methods. Application of the law of Gladstone and Dale,

G =n-1/K, wherenis the mean refractive index of MnCO₃{cubed root of (ω²ε)} and K equals the sum of the specific refractive indices of MnO and CO₂times their respective weight percentages, gives a value of 3.707 for pure MnCO₃,

(Mol. wt.) (No. of mols./unit cell)
The second method, G =  --------------------------------------
(Vol./unit cell)(No. of mols./gm. mol. wt.)
requires knowledge of the size of the unit cell of pure MnCO₃Unfortunately it is unlikely that the dimensions given by the various investigators of crystal structure are for pure rhodochrosite. In only one case has the unit cell of an analyzed specimen been studied.

Brentano and Adamson⁸measured a rhodochrosite on which they had observed the specific gravity to range between 3.47 and 3.76, indicating that the material ranged in compostion from ferroan to calcian or magnesian rhodochrosite. The length of an edge, a_o', of a unit cell corresponding to a cleavage rhomb was found to be 6.064Å, and the angle α'  of a rhombic face was 102°50'. Such a unit cell contains four molecules of MnCO₃. From this data Brentano and Adamson calculated a specific gravity of 3.747.per indirizzo SPLIT KEY RING .

The true unit cell of rhodochrosite and of other members of the calcite group has been found by Wyckoff⁹not to correspond with the cleavage rhombohedron but to be a steep rhombohedron which contains only two molecules.Regione Sud bandiera Spilla casella inciso, Colorado, and determined the length of the edge of its unit rhombohedron, a_o, to be 5.61Å and the rhombic face angle a to be 47°46'. Later Wyckoff changed the a_ovalue to 5.84Å.¹⁰Using the values 5.84Å and 47°46'Melbourne Australia bandiera Spilla casella inciso,Jsutice Sterling Silver Spilla confezione regalo.785. This is higher by 0.075 than the observed specific gravity, 3.710.

Bragg¹¹and Wyckoff¹²in their latest compilations on crystal structure give the following dimensions for MnCO₃:

aoαao'α'
5.84Å              47º20'              6.01Å              102º50'

Using the values 5.84Å and 47°20'Scarpe da Ginnastica Basse Uomo.851, and using the values 6.01Å and 102°50' the specific gravity is 3.837. These are much higher than observed values for rhodochrosite.

If we now assume that the specific gravity of pure rhodochrosite is 3.70 and itsnO is 1.816, and that the physical properties of natural rhodochrosites can be calculated from the chemical compositions, we can place on Plate 1 lines of equal specific gravity and index. On doing this we see that the reverse procedure is not possible, that is, knowing the specific gravity and the refractive indices we still cannot tell the composition, because the lines on the diagram are parallel or intersect at small angles. Simple qualitative chemical tests would serve to indicate the field in which some specimens would lie, but in most cases a quantitative analysis is necessary.

Having studied the relationships of composition, specific gravity, and refractive indices of a number of rhodochrosites from a wide variety of localities, it remains to be seen in what ways rhodochrosite from Butte is similar or different from other rhodochrosites. As suggested above, it was the erratic relationship between color banding and the optical data of Butte rhodochrosite that induced this study, and it is especially because of this that the following descriptions of occurrence, mineral association, texture and isomorphism of Butte rhodochrosite are considered of interest to this paper.

RHODOCHROSITE AT BUTTE, MONTANA

The Butte district has produced over 400,000 tons of high grade rhodochrosite ore since 1917. During the present emergency lower grade ores are being beneficiated by flotation. The rhodochrosite is calcined in large rotary kilns to produce an oxide which contains about 58 per cent manganese. Most of the ore has come from the Emma mine on the Black Chief lode near downtown Butte, but rhodochrosite is common in most of the veins of the southwestern and western portions of the district.¹³

Two bulk analyses of Emma ore are available. Hewett and Pardee¹⁴give the average composition of about 250,000 tons of ore from the Emma mine and indicate the molecular composition of the rhodochrosite free from impurities to be MnCO₃91 per cent, MgCO₃7 per cent and CaCO₃2 per cent.

The average percentage composition of 13,961 tons of rhodochrosite ore delivered to the Southern Manganese Corporation in 1918 and 1919 and the variation in monthly average analyses are given below:

Tbilisi Georgia bandiera Spilla casella inciso₃following Hewett and Pardee,¹⁵the molecular composition of the rhodochrosite free from impurities is approximately as follows:

In addition to the abundant rhodonite of the northern part of the district, minor quantities of mangan-ankerite, manganosiderite,¹⁶huebnerite,¹⁷helvite¹⁸and alabandite¹⁹are found. A specimen of pale pink, massive, crystalline mangan-ankerite from the dump of the Bonanza mine was analyzed by J. G. Fairchild: CaO 30.52, MgO 15.92, MnO 4.28, FeO 3.31, ZnO none, SO₃none, insoluble none, and CO₂46.08 (calculated); total 100.11. The observednO ranges between 1.690 and 1.698 and the calculatednO is 1.694 .The specific gravity and molecular proportions are given in Table 2 as specimen q.
