Hydromagmatic Processes And Platinum Group Element Deposits In Layered Intrusions

The role of hydrothermal fluids during the crystallization of layered intrusions and the ore deposits they contain has long been debated. This book summarizes the evidence for fluid-crystal-liquid (hydromagmatic) interactions and their importance for the understanding of the formation of platinum-group deposits in layered intrusions. It discusses the composition of igneous fluids in mafic magmatic systems, the generation and movement of these fluids in layered intrusions, their impact in altering the mineralogy and composition of the originally precipitated assemblages, and their role in the transport of the platinum-group elements (PGE). Using examples from the Bushveld complex of South Africa and other intrusions, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the hydromagmatic model for the origin of various features of layered intrusions. It is a useful reference for academic researchers and professional geologists working on economic mineral exploration, layered igneous intrusions, and hydrothermal metallogenesis.

Provides an overview of tin deposits worldwide and its geological aspects.

This edited work contains the most recent advances related to the study of layered intrusions and cumulate rocks formation. The first part of this book presents reviews and new views of processes producing the textural, mineralogical and geochemical characteristics of layered igneous rocks. The second part summarizes progress in the study of selected layered intrusions and their ore deposits from different parts of the world including Canada, Southwest China, Greenland and South Africa. Thirty experts have contributed to this update on recent research on Layered Intrusions. This highly informative book will provide insight for researchers with an interest in geology, igneous petrology, geochemistry and mineral resources.

This book presents selected papers from the 18th International Conference on Global Research and Education, Inter-Academia 2019, held in Budapest and Balatonfüred on September 4–7, 2019. The main goal of the conference was to provide an international forum for reviewing and assessing recent trends in both fundamental and applied research. In addition to sparking interest in recent research findings, the conference aimed to strengthen cooperation among the partners of the Inter-Academia community in the pursuit of new theoretical and practical research advances. The book contains a selection of papers based on lectures presented at the Inter-Academia 2019 conference and covering hot and challenging topics in the fields of machine intelligence and computer science, modeling and simulation, measurement, monitoring, and identification, electronics and nanoelectronics, bio- and environmental engineering, chemical processes and material science, together with related educational aspects. Accordingly, it offers a valuable resource for the global scientific community.
