  1. 1. Investigating the potential of systematic optical petrography in a geometallurgical context : A case study on boulder characterization from Rajapalot property, Finland

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Annie Björk; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Petrography; optical microscopy; scanning electron microscopy; geometallurgy; mining value chain; Peräpohja belt;

    Sammanfattning : Geometallurgy describes a holistic approach to mining (integrating geological, metallurgical, geotechnical, environmental, and more parameters) with the goal to improve the efficiency and sustainability of a mining operation. The potential of systematic optical petrography in a geometallurgical context was investigated in this study, as well as how petrography may be useful across disciplines in several blocks of the mining value chain.

  2. 2. A Petrographic and Paragenetic Characterization of the Ertelien Ni-Cu Deposit (Norway)

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Alena Niarezka; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Ertelien Ni-Cu deposit; ore geology; enrichment processes; nickel; cobalt; copper; optical microscopy; electron probe micro-analysis; critical metals; Ertelien Ni-Cu fyndighet; malmgeologi; anrikningsprocesser; nickel; kobolt; koppar; optisk mikroskopi; elektronsondsmikroanalys; kritiska metaller;

    Sammanfattning : The escalating demand for metals driven by advancements in renewable energy technologies and hightech products has underscored the significance of understanding and characterizing ore deposits. This study focuses on the Ertelien Ni-Cu deposit in Norway, a region rich in nickel, cobalt, and copper resources—essential components for the transition to a sustainable energy future. LÄS MER

  3. 3. The Fe-oxides (mineralogical, chemical, and textural) variation in the Leveäniemi deposit using micro-analytical tools for unraveling of primary features and metamorphic recrystallisation

    Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Adrian Larsson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Leveäniemi; Magnetite; Hematite; Iron oxides; Iron oxide apatite;

    Sammanfattning : The Leveäniemi iron oxide apatite (IOA) deposit, mined by LKAB, is located in Norrbotten, northern Sweden. The deposit has a partially more complex mineralogy than the neighbouring and more famous IOA deposits of Kiirunavaara and Malmberget. LÄS MER

  4. 4. Petrography and Thermodynamic Modelling of Svecofennian Arsenic-bearing Metasupracrustal Rocks in the Arlanda Area, West-Central Fennoscandian Shield

    Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Författare :Klara Skoog; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Bergslagen; Svecokarelian orogeny; metamorphism; arsenic; optical microscopy; electron microprobe; thermodynamic modelling; Bergslagen; Svecokarelska orogenesen; metamorfos; arsenik; optisk mikroskopering; elektron mikrosond; termodynamisk modellering;

    Sammanfattning : The Arlanda area is a construction intensive area facing problems with risk of leaching of arsenic (As) from the bedrock to surface- and groundwater. Construction projects in the area have had problems with high levels of As in the bedrock and the risk of leaching increases through processing of aggregates and blasting of the bedrock. LÄS MER

  5. 5. Characterization of the cobalt content in zinc ore from Zinkgruvan, Sweden

    Master-uppsats, Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Författare :Ingeborg Hjorth; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Zinkgruvan; Bergslagen; Cobalt; Sphalerite; Pyrrhotite; Safflorite;

    Sammanfattning : Zinkgruvan is a stratiform Zn-Pb-Ag deposit located in the Bergslagen ore district in south central Sweden. Elevated concentrations of cobalt have been detected in zinc ore from the mine. LÄS MER
