Understanding Chemical Sequential Extraction Method by Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and X–Ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopies for Phosphorus Fractionation of Lake Sediments2015 October 1900 (has links)
Phosphorus release from sediments contributes significantly to high phosphorus level in lake water and provides nutrient support to promote algal growth. To speed up the recovery of eutrophic lakes, it is necessary to limit phosphorus release from sediments. Accurate sedimentary phosphorus fractionation is a strong basis for understanding phosphorus release from sediments.
There are several techniques to study sedimentary phosphorus fractionation. Chemical sequential extraction (CSE) techniques are commonly used by industrial practitioners. However, it is doubtful that the P fractionation of the lake sediments studied using the Jensen and Thamdrup (1993) method is reliable. The reason is that the phosphorus fractions do not exactly correspond to the chemically defined compounds in the sequential phosphorus extraction. In order to further understand the Jensen and Thamdrup (1993) method, it is necessary to study P species in the supernatant and residue of each fraction. X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) can provide direct information about the mineral phase of phosphorus in the sediments. Solution phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance (31P NMR) reveals direct molecular and structural characterization of organic phosphorus in the sediments.
This study enhanced the understanding of the Jensen and Thamdrup (1993) chemical sequential extraction method for studying the sedimentary phosphorus fractionation by using solution 31P NMR spectroscopy and phosphorus K-edge XANES spectroscopy. The research using the chemical sequential extraction indicated that inorganic P was dominant in all sediments samples. Also, it suggested that calcium-bound P accounted for the largest proportion of the total P in every sediments sample. The solution 31P NMR spectroscopy clearly identified orthophosphate, phytic acid, pyrophosphate, and polyphosphate in the sediments samples. The P K-edge XANES spectroscopy showed all of the sediments samples contained apatite and phytic acid. In addition, the study using the XANES identified apatite in the residue after the HCl extraction of Blackstrap #6; however it indicated no apatite in the supernatant of HCl fraction of both Blackstrap #3 and Pond #11.

Les oxydes de chrome dans les pigments et les décors de porcelaine / Chromium oxides in pigments and glazes for porcelain decorationVerger, Louisiane 17 December 2015 (has links)
Les oxydes de chrome permettent d’obtenir une large variété de couleurs, conduisant à leur utilisation répandue dans les arts céramiques. À la manufacture de Sèvres, leurs propriétés colorantes ont été explorées dès la découverte du chrome à la fin du 18ème siècle. Les travaux initiés par Brongniart ont conduit à une série de 76 pigments pour porcelaine composés d’oxydes de chrome, régulièrement synthétisés au laboratoire de la manufacture. Nous avons mené une étude exhaustive de ces pigments, permettant une classification basée sur leur analyse minéralogique et mettant en évidence le rôle du Cr3+ dans ces pigments, avec l’absence de Cr6+. Le mélange de ces pigments avec un composant incolore est appliqué sur la porcelaine, et porté à haute température afin d’obtenir un émail, c’est-à-dire une couche décorative partiellement vitreuse à la surface de la porcelaine. Les pigments composés de chrome se retrouvent dans les décors verts, roses, bleu-vert, marron et noirs. Après avoir caractérisé la spéciation et l’environnement du chrome dans l’ensemble de ces pigments, cette thèse s’est concentrée sur un pigment particulier, majoritairement composé de gahnite au chrome ZnAl2O4:Cr3+. Ce type de pigment a été identifié dans une série d’œuvres produites par la manufacture, entre la fin du 19ème et le début du 20ème siècle, correspondant à la période de l’art nouveau. La solution solide complète ZnAl2-xCrxO4 a été étudiée afin de préciser l’environnement structural du chrome, montrant l’importance des seconds voisins Cr dans les variations de couleur. Au cours de la cuisson de l’émail, un mécanisme de dissolution progressive des grains de pigments a été mis en évidence, résultant de l’interaction avec le composant incolore en cours de vitrification. Notre travail montre la faible solubilité du Cr dans le verre et sa spéciation préférentielle dans les cristaux, entrainant parfois des changements de phases ou des modifications de composition le long de solutions solides lors du traitement thermique à haute température. Ces modifications ont permis de mieux comprendre l’origine de la couleur dans les décors de porcelaine ainsi que les mécanismes de formation des émaux. / Chromium oxides are widely used in the ceramic industry because they are characterized by a large variety of colors. At the French porcelain manufacture of Sèvres, their coloring properties have been explored since the discovery of chromium at the end of the 18th century. The researches initiated by Brongniart lead to a group of 76 pigments for porcelain composed of chromium oxides, regularly synthesized at the laboratory of the manufacture. An exhaustive study was done on these pigments, which enables to propose a classification based on their mineralogical analysis and highlights the role of Cr3+ in the color of the pigments, without Cr6+. The mixture of one or two pigments and an uncolored frit is applied on the porcelain, and fired at high temperature to obtain a glaze, i.e. a partly glassy decorative layer on the top of the porcelain. Pigments composed of chromium are used to obtain green, pink, greenish-blue, brown and black glazes. This thesis focuses on a particular pigment, mainly composed of gahnite doped with chromium ZnAl2O4:Cr3+. This kind of pigment was identified in a collection of artefacts produced by the manufacture between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. This period corresponds to the artistic movement Art Nouveau. The solid solution ZnAl2-xCrxO4 was studied to get the structural environment of Cr, showing the role of the second neighbor Cr in the color variation. During firing of the glaze, a mechanism of gradual dissolution of the initial grains of pigments was determined, resulting of reactions with the uncolored frit. Our work shows the low solubility of Cr in glass and its preferential speciation in crystals, leading to crystalline phase changes or modifications of composition along solid solutions during the thermal treatment at high temperature. These modifications enable to understand the origin of color in porcelain glazes and the mechanism of glaze formation.

Characterization of metallic species on porous materials by in situ XASWittee Lopes, Christian 10 September 2018 (has links)
El objetivo de esta tesis es estudiar la agrupación y el crecimiento de especies metálicas confinadas o soportadas en materiales porosos mediante espectroscopia de absorción de rayos X in situ. Para lograrlo, las especies de paladio y plata se han introducido en materiales porosos (¿-alúmina, carbón activo y zeolitas) mediante impregnación vía húmeda y métodos de intercambio iónico, respectivamente. Luego, el agrupamiento de estas especies metálicas se ha controlado mediante tratamientos de activación en diferentes atmósferas (inerte, oxidativa y reductiva) y seguido por XAS de manera detallada.
El objetivo principal del trabajo actual es demostrar que tanto XANES como EXAFS pueden proporcionar información valiosa y, en cierto punto, innovadora durante el control de especies metálicas (en términos de tipo y tamaño de las especies). Aprovechando los procedimientos de análisis inusuales, como el análisis de los cumulantes, el ajuste de la parte imaginaria de la transformada de Fourier y otros, es posible obtener información refinada sobre los sistemas investigados.
En la sección de introducción, se proporciona una compilación de estudios en los que se ha utilizado XAS como técnica importante para caracterizar especies metálicas en materiales porosos. Conscientes de que las personas pueden usar dicha introducción como base para estudios más complejos en el futuro, la discusión se ha dirigido tentativamente hacia este objetivo.
El capítulo 4 se centra en el estudio de la influencia de los precursores de paladio y la naturaleza del soporte en las nanopartículas resultantes. El proceso de activación completo, es decir, la transformación precursor --> nanopartícula, ha sido seguido por XAS in situ. El análisis estuvo compuesto por el punto de partida (material impregnado), calcinación en flujo de O2 y reducción posterior con H2. La consecuencia del uso de diferentes precursores metálicos y soportes se ha discutido en términos del número de coordinación promedio obtenido a partir del análisis de datos de EXAFS, que fue respaldado por técnicas de caracterización de laboratorio.
El capítulo 5 está dedicado al estudio de la agrupación de plata durante y después de los tratamientos de activación utilizando zeolitas de poro pequeño intercambiadas con plata como precursores y nanocontenedores. Se ha estudiado la influencia de la estructura y la composición química de los materiales basados en plata sobre las especies metálicas formadas en diferentes condiciones de agrupamiento y redispersión del metal (calcinación usando atmósferas distintas, reducción en H2, redispersión en O2) utilizando métodos de caracterización in situ o ex situ. Después, se discuten las consecuencias catalíticas de las zeolitas que contienen Ag en la reacción de SCO-NH3. En esta sección, la combinación de XAS in situ con varias técnicas de laboratorio ha demostrado ser fundamental para un completo entendimiento del trabajo.
Finalmente, una lista de proyectos desarrollados en paralelo a esta tesis se proporciona al final de este documento. / The aim of this thesis is to study the clustering and growth of metallic species either confined or supported in porous materials by in situ X-ray absorption spectroscopy. To accomplish this task, palladium and silver species were introduced into porous materials (¿-alumina, activated carbon and zeolites) by wetness impregnation and ion-exchange methods, respectively. Then, the clustering of these metallic species was controlled by activation treatments in different atmospheres (inert, oxidative and reductive) and followed by XAS in a comprehensive way.
The principal goal of current work is to demonstrate that both XANES and EXAFS can provide valuable and, at certain point, innovative information during tuning of metallic species (in terms of type and size). Taking advantage of unusual analysis procedures, such as cumulant approach, fitting of imaginary part of Fourier transform and others, it is possible to obtain refined information about the investigated systems.
In the introduction section, a compilation of studies in which XAS was used as important technique to characterize metallic species in porous materials is provided. Conscious that people can use such introduction as a basis for more complex studies in the future, the discussion has been tentatively directed toward this goal.
The chapter 4 is focused on the study of the influence of palladium precursors and the nature of support on the resultant nanoparticles. The whole activation process, i.e. the transformation precursor --> nanoparticle, was followed in situ by XAS. The analysis pathway was composed by the starting point (as-impregnated), calcination in O2 flow and posterior reduction with H2. The consequence of using distinct metal precursors and supports were discussed in terms of average coordination number obtained from EXAFS data analysis, which was co-supported by laboratory characterization techniques.
The chapter 5 is dedicated to the study of silver clustering during and after activation treatments using Ag-containing small-pore zeolites as precursors and nanocontainers. The influence of framework structure and chemical composition of Ag-based materials on formed Ag species at different clustering and metal redispersion conditions (calcination using distinct atmospheres, reduction in H2, redispersion in O2) were studied using either in situ or ex situ characterization methods. After, the catalytic consequences of tuned Ag-containing zeolites in SCO-NH3 are discussed. In this section, the combination of in situ XAS with several laboratory techniques proved to be pivotal to have a full picture of the investigated system.
Finally, a list of projects developed in parallel to this thesis is provided at the end of this document. / L'objectiu d'aquesta tesi és estudiar l'agrupació i el creixement d'espècies metàl·liques confinades o suportades en materials porosos mitjançant espectroscòpia d'absorció de raigs X in situ. Per a això, les espècies de pal·ladi i plata s'han introduït en materials porosos (¿-alúmina, carbó activat i zeolites) per mitjà de la impregnació via humida i mètodes d'intercanvi iònic, respectivament. Una vegada preparats els materials, l'agrupament de les espècies metàl·liques s'ha controlat fent ús de tractaments d'activació en diferents atmosferes (inert, oxidant i reductora) s'ha estudiat exhaustivament per XAS.
L'objectiu principal del treball és demostrar que tant el XANES com l'EXAFS proporcionen informació rellevant i, en certa manera, innovadora per al control d'espècies metàl·liques (en termes de tipus i grandària d'aquestes espècies). Fent ús de procediments de tractament de dades no molt habituals com l'anàlisi de cumulants, l'ajust de la part imaginària de la transformada de Fourier i altres, és possible obtenir informació detallada sobre els sistemes estudiats.
En l'apartat de la introducció, es proporciona una recopilació d'estudis en els quals s'ha utilitzat XAS com a tècnica principal per a caracteritzar les anomenades espècies metàl·liques en materials porosos. Aquesta introducció ha estat redactada per a que puga servir com a punt de partida per a futurs estudis que requereixen la utilització de XAS per a la caracterització de les espècies metàl·liques presents en els catalitzadors.
El capítol 4 es centra en l'estudi de la influència dels precursors de pal·ladi i la naturalesa del suport front a les nanopartícules resultants. El procés d'activació, és a dir, la transformació precursor --> nanopartícula, ha sigut estudiat per XAS in situ. L'anàlisi per XAS va comprendre els següents passos: punt de partida (material impregnat), calcinació en flux d'O2 i reducció posterior amb H2. La utilització de diferents precursors i suports metàl·lics ha permès dur a terme una discussió, referent al nombre de coordinació mitjà obtingut a partir de l'anàlisi de dades de la zona EXAFS, que ha estat recolzat per altres tècniques de caracterització.
El capítol 5 s'ha dedicat a l'estudi de l'agrupació de plata intercanviada en els catalitzadors durant i després dels tractaments d'activació. S'han utilitzat zeolites de porus xicotet, com la CHA i RHO, intercanviades amb plata. L'estudi de la influència de l'estructura zeolítica i la composició química dels materials enfront dels diferents tractaments d'activació (calcinació utilitzant diferents atmosferes, reducció en presència d'H2, re-dispersió en atmosfera d'O2) es va realitzar fent ús de mètodes de caracterització in situ o ex situ. A continuació, es discuteix la influència d'aquestes espècies metàl·liques formades, utilitzant els diferents mètodes d'activació, per a la reacció d'SCO-NH3. En aquest sentit, s'ha demostrat que la combinació de XAS in situ amb diverses tècniques habituals de laboratori és fonamental per al desenvolupament d'aquest treball. Finalment, es presenta una llista de projectes, en els quals també s'ha treballat paral·lelament, on s'ha utilitzat XAS com a tècnica de caracterització. / Wittee Lopes, C. (2018).

VOC Catalytic Oxidation on Manganese Oxide Catalysts Using OzoneReed, Corey William 21 June 2005 (has links)
This dissertation describes the current and common problem of removing low concentrations of pollutants known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from large volume gas emissions. Silica-supported manganese oxide catalysts with loadings of 3, 10, 15, and 20 wt. % (as MnO2) were characterized using x-ray absorption spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction (XRD). The edge positions in the x-ray absorption spectra indicated that the oxidation state for the manganese decreased with increasing metal oxide loading from a value close to that of Mn2O3 (+3) to a value approximating that of Mn3O4 (+2⅔). The XRD was consistent with these results as the diffractograms for the supported catalysts of higher manganese oxide loading matched those of a Mn3O4 reference. The reactivity of the silica-supported manganese oxide catalysts in acetone oxidation using ozone as an oxidant was studied over the temperature range of 300 to 600 K. Both oxygen and ozone produced mainly CO₂ as the product of oxidation, but in the case of ozone the reaction temperature and activation energy were significantly reduced. The effect of metal oxide loading was investigated, and the activity for acetone oxidation was greater for a 10 wt. % MnOx/SiO2 catalyst sample compared to a 3 wt. % MnOx/SiO2 sample. A detailed mechanistic study of acetone oxidation using ozone was performed on a 10 wt. % silica-supported manganese oxide catalyst utilizing Raman spectroscopy, temperature programmed desorption (TPD), and kinetic measurements. In situ Raman spectroscopy at reaction conditions identified a band at 2930 cm-1 due to an adsorbed acetone species on the silica support and a band at 890 cm-1 due to an adsorbed peroxide species on the manganese oxide. A steady-state kinetic analysis, which varied acetone partial pressure (101 – 405 Pa), ozone partial pressure (101 – 1013 Pa), and temperature (318, 333, 343, and 373 K), was used to determine reaction rate expressions, while a transient kinetic study (318 K) was used to determine the role of the adsorbed species in the reaction mechanism. It was found that the rates of the acetone and ozone reactions were equally well described by both a power rate law and a Langmuir-Hinshelwood expression. The transient experiments showed that the rates of formation and reaction of the observed peroxide surface species did not correspond to the overall reaction rate, and it was concluded that it was not directly involved in the rate determining step of the reaction. A mechanism is proposed involving the reaction of an adsorbed acetone intermediate with an atomically adsorbed oxygen species via a dual site surface reaction to form complete oxidation products. / Ph.

Efeito dos parâmetros de síntese e da adição de alumínio na propriedade de fotoluminescência do composto SrTiO3 / Effect of synthesis parameters and Aluminum addition on the photoluminescent property of the SrTiO3 compoundJerez, Yajaira Dalila Rivero 16 February 2018 (has links)
O titanato de estrôncio (SrTiO3) é um material de estrutura perovskita que tem sido extensivamente estudado, principalmente no que tange sua propriedade fotoluminescente. Os resultados presentes na literatura mostram que a intensidade fotoluminescente pode depender de muitas variáveis como o estado físico do material, dos precursores utilizados na síntese e da adição de íons dopantes. Apesar dos compostos de estrutura perovskita e em especial do composto SrTiO3 ter sido muito bem estudado no que tange sua propriedade fotoluminescente, ao nosso conhecimento, o efeito da pureza da água utilizada e da adição do alumínio em substituição ao titânio sobre esta propriedade ainda não foi estudada. Para atingir este objetivo, amostras de composição SrTi1-xAlxO3 com x variando de 0.005, 0.01, 0.03 e 0.05 foram preparadas através do método dos precursores poliméricos modificado. As amostras foram caracterizadas por análise térmica, difração de raios X (XRD), espectroscopia Raman, espectroscopia de absorção de raios X (XANES), espectroscopia de fotoluminescência (PL) e medidas de tempo de vida. Estudos sobre os efeitos da temperatura e tempo de calcinação, pureza da agua e quantidade de alumínio nas propriedades fotoluminescentes foram realizados. De uma maneira geral, observou-se que o uso da água ultra-pura (Milli-Q) e da adição de 0,5 % em mol de alumínio aumenta a atividade fotoluminescente do material. / Strontium titanate (SrTiO3) is a material of perovskite structure that has been extensively studied, mainly with regard to its photoluminescent property. The results in the literature show that the photoluminescent intensity may depend on many variables such as the physical state of the material, the precursors used in the synthesis and the addition of dopant ions. Although the compounds of the perovskite structure and in particular the compound of SrTiO3 have been very well studied with respect to their photoluminescent property, to our knowledge, the effect of the purity of the water used and the addition of the aluminum in substitution for the titanium on this property has not yet been studied. To achieve this goal, samples of SrTi1-xAlxO3 composition with x ranging from 0.005, 0.01, 0.03 and 0.05 were prepared by the modified polymer precursor method. The samples were characterized by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and lifetime measurements. Studies on the effects of temperature and calcination time, water purity and amount of aluminum on the photoluminescent properties were performed. In general, it was observed that the use of high purity (Milli-Q) water and the addition of 0.5 mol% of aluminum improves the photoluminescent activity of the material.

Preparação e caracterização de catalisadores de V2O5 suportados em TiO2. / Preparation and characterization of V2O5 catalyst supported TiO2.Rodella, Cristiane Barbieri 02 May 2001 (has links)
Uma série de amostras do sistema catalítico V2O5/TiO2 foi preparada pelo método sol-gel com diferentes teores da fase ativa (de 0 a 9% em massa de V2O5) e calcinada em diferentes temperaturas (de 250 a 6000C). Sistema similar foi obtido pelo método de impregnação para a comparação. Os catalisadores foram caracterizados quanto suas propriedades texturais e estruturais pelas técnicas de Adsorção de N2 a 77K, Difratometria de Raios-X (DRX), Espectroscopia Raman, Ressonância Paramagnética Eletrônica (EPR), Espectroscopia de Fotoelétrons Excitados por Raios-X (XPS) e Espectroscopia de Absorção de Raios-X (XAS). Testes catalíticos para a verificação da atividade e seletividade foram realizados frente à reação de conversão do metanol. O sistema obtido pelo método sol-gel apresentou elevada área superficial e porosidade, as quais foram ampliadas com o aumento do teor de vanádio e reduzidos com o aumento da temperatura de calcinação. O sistema preparado por impregnação apresentou as mesmas propriedades texturais do suporte comercial. A análise de DRX identificou a existência de TiO2 nas formas cristalográficas anatásio e rutilo, não foi identificada a presença de V2O5 na forma cristalina. No sistema preparado por impregnação a estrutura cristalográfica do suporte se mantém, independente do teor de vanádio, porém a partir de 6% de V2O5 foi identificado à presença de V2O5 cristalino. Os espectros de Raman mostraram a presença de dois grupos superficiais de vanádio, os vanadilos monoméricos e os vanadatos poliméricos mesmo em elevados teores de vanádio, nos sistemas preparados pelo processo sol-gel. Nos catalisadores obtidos por impregnação foram identificados modos vibracionais referentes ao V2O5 cristalino.Os resultados obtidos por XAS confirmaram os obtidos por DRX e indicaram a presença de vanádio V4+ e V5+, porém com simetria diferente da forma cristalina V2O5. A determinação da razão entre os átomos V/Ti superficiais feita por XPS mostrou ser crescente com o aumento do teor de vanádio. Os espectros de EPR indicaram a presença de pelo menos três famílias de íons V4+ em diferentes simetrias, duas delas inseridas na matriz da titânia na fase rutilo e a outra dispersa na superfície. O sistema obtido por impregnação apresentou poucos íons V4+. Os testes catalíticos revelaram que a atividade e seletividade catalítica foram praticamente as mesmas para os sistemas preparados pelos dois métodos. Entretanto, a estabilidade catalítica do sistema obtido via sol-gel foi superior ao sistema preparado por impregnação. / A series of samples of the catalytic system V2O5/TiO2 was prepared by the sol-gel method with different proportions of the active phase (from 0 to 9% in mass of V2O5) and calcined in different temperatures (from 250 to 6000C). A similar system was obtained by the impregnation method for comparison. The catalyst were characterized by their textural and structural properties by Adsorption of N2 at 77K, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Raman Spectroscopy, Electronic Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) and X-Ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS). Catalytic tests for the verification of the activity and selectivity were performed by the conversion reaction of the methanol. The system obtained by the sol-gel method presented a high superficial area and porosity, which were enlarged by the increase of vanadium proportion and reduced with increase of the calcinations temperature. The system prepared by impregnation presented the same textural proprieties of the commercial support. XRD analysis identified the existence of TiO2 in two crystallographic forms, anatase and rutile. It was not identified the presence of V2O5 in the crystalline form. In the system prepared by impregnation the crystallographic structure of the support keeps, independent of the vanadium content, however starting from 6% of the vanadia was identified crystalline V2O5. Raman spectra showed the presence of two superficial groups of vanadium, the monomeric vanadyls and the polymeric vanadates even for elevated contents of vanadium, in the system prepared by the impregnation method vibrational modes were identified referring to V2O5 crystalline. The results obtained by XAS confirmed the obtained by XRD and indicated the presence of V4+ and V5+, however with different symmetry from the V2O5 in a crystalline form. The determination of the proportion between the surface V/Ti atoms determined by XPS showed to be increased with the increase of the vanadium content. EPR spectra indicated the presence of at least three V4+ion families in different symmetries; two of them inserted in the matrix of titania in the rutile phase and to other dispersed on the surface. The system obtained by impregnation presented few V4+ ions. The catalytic tests reveled that the catalytic activity and selectivity were practically the same for the systems prepared by both methods. However, the catalytic stability of the system obtained via sol-gel was superior to the system prepared by impregnation.

Experimental investigation for local structures of IVb transition metal elements in minerals and glasses formed under extreme conditions / Étude théorique et expérimentale de l’ordre à courte et longue distance dans les matériaux naturels désordonnés : minéraux et verres formés dans des conditions extrêmesTobase, Tsubasa 19 December 2018 (has links)
L'élucidation du mécanisme de formation de divers verres naturels peut aider à comprendre la dynamique de la Terre car ces matériaux retiennent l'état de formation dans leurs structures. La spectroscopie XAFS appliquée aux matériaux amorphes issue des météorites fournit des informations sur les changements structuraux locaux des éléments présents. En effectuant des analyses dans la phase de verre des météorites et dans les verres issus de l'impact météoritiques des informations sur les conditions de formation des ces matériaux peuvent être obtenues. Dans cette thèse, l'analyse de la structure locale d’éléments de transition (Ti, Zr) dans les minéraux et les verres naturels a été réalisée par la XAFS. Des expériences de chauffage au laser à haute température et de flux gazeux sur zircon ont également été effectuées pour observer les changements structuraux à haute température dans les phases cristallines qui accompagnent le verre météoritique. La structure locale de ces matériaux est semblable à celle du Zr dans les sédiments de la limite Crétacé – Paléogène (K-Pg). Ce dernier ne montre aucune influence de diagenèse ou d'altération, ce qui suggère que les sédiments Cependant, l'abondance de Zr dans les sédiments n'est pas toujours suffisante pour obtenir des informations fiables sur la structure locale du Zr. Nous nous sommes ainsi intéressés à la structure local du Ti, qui appartient au même groupe que le Zr. Les conditions d'impact des météorites sur Mars et du passage des météorites à travers l'atmosphère peuvent être estimées par l'analyse de la structure locale de Zr dans la partie vitrifiée des météorites. L'analyse de la structure locale du Zr dans la météorite martienne de Tissint montre la croûte de fusion de cette météorite est semblable à celle des tectites et du verre d'impact qui les accompagne, alors que la partie intérieure vitreuse de Tissint est similaire à celle de la baddeleyite et de la fulgurite. Cette dernière aurait subi une vitrification pendant le passage à travers l'atmosphère. Afin de confirmer le changement structurel de Zr à haute température, nous avons effectué des expériences de chauffage du zircon, ainsi qu’une expérience de diffraction des rayons X sur poudre pendant le chauffage. L'analyse chimique dans le MEB a montré l'évaporation de la composante SiO2. Nous avons aussi obtenu un nouveau digramme de phase ZrO2-SiO2 dans lequel la région d’immiscibilité liquide proposée auparavant n’a pas pu être confirmée / Elucidation of the formation mechanism of various natural glasses can help to understand the dynamics of the Earth because these materials record the formation condition in their structures. XAFS applied to natural meteorite-related glasses provides information about the local structural changes of elements therein. By performing high-accuracy XAFS analyses for trace elements and their local structure in sedimentary rocks, in the glass phase of meteorites and in the meteorite impact-related glasses such as tektite and impact glass, information on the formation condition of these materials can be obtained. We have performed local structure analysis of IVb transition metal elements (Ti, Zr) in natural minerals and glasses K-edge XANES and EXAFS as well as high-temperature laser heating and gas flow experiments on zircon, to observe structural changes at high temperature in the crystalline phases that accompany the meteoric glass. The local structure of these materials is similar to that of of Zr in K-Pg sediments, which do not show any influence from diagenesis and weathering, suggesting that K-Pg sediments maintain the thermal quenching history of the meteorite impact. However, the low abundance of Zr in sediments prompted us to study Ti, which belongs to the same group as Zr and is much more abundant. Combination of the information about the local structures of Ti and Zr allows a higher reliability for the estimation of meteorite impact event. The local structure of Zr in the fusion crust and inner glassy part of the Martian meteorite of Tissint are similar, respectively, to that in tektite and accompanying impact glass and to that in baddeleyite and fulgurite. The latter was likely vitrified part during the passage through the atmosphere. It should be possible to estimate the conditions of meteorite impact on Mars and the passage of meteorites through the Earth’s atmosphere through the analysis of the local structure of Zr in the glassy part of meteorites. In order to confirm this hypothesis, we performed heating experiments of zircon with in-situ powder X-ray diffraction experiment was performed for ZrSiO4 and ZrO2. SEM analysis confirmed evaporation of the SiO2 component. We have obtained a new ZrO2-SiO2 phase diagram where the liquid-immiscible region proposed earlier does not appear.

Germanium and related elements in sulphide minerals : crystal chemistry, incorporation and isotope fractionation / Germanium et éléments associés dans les sulfures : cristallochimie, modes d’incorporation et fractionnement isotopiqueBelissont, Rémi 15 March 2016 (has links)
Le germanium est un métalloïde « stratégique » dans l’industrie high-tech, notamment pour la transition énergétique et le secteur des communications. Étant distinctement sidérophile, lithophile, chalcophile et organophile, le Ge possède un fort potentiel comme traceur géochimique. Ces travaux de thèse visent à améliorer la compréhension de la géochimie du cycle du Ge et des facteurs qui contrôlent son incorporation dans les minéraux et les gisements métalliques. Les cibles de cette étude concernent le gisement filonien à Zn de Saint-Salvy (Massif Central, France), le gisement filonien à Cu de Barrigão (Ceinture pyriteuse ibérique, Portugal), et le gisement à Zn–Cu de Kipushi (R.D. Congo). Les porteurs de Ge les plus importants sont respectivement la sphalérite (jusqu’à 2580 ppm), la chalcopyrite (jusqu’à 5750 ppm) et la réniérite (5,0–9,1 %). Les résultats montrent qu’il existe une relation de premier ordre entre la concentration en Ge dans la sphalérite et le type de gisement. La spectroscopie XANES par rayonnement synchrotron met en évidence la présence de Ge4+ en site tétraédrique dans les sulfures analysés. Les corrélations élémentaires observées dans la sphalérite et la chalcopyrite suggèrent une incorporation du Ge par co-substitutions, e.g., 3Zn2+ ↔ Ge4+ + 2(Cu,Ag)+ et 3Fe3+ ↔ 2Ge4+ + Cu+, ou via la création de lacunes cristallographiques, e.g., 2Zn2+ ↔ Ge4+ + ?. La corrélation positive δ74Ge–[Ge]ZnS des sphalérites de Saint-Salvy indiquerait que coefficient de partage (KdGe) augmenterai avec T. Les compositions isotopiques δ74Ge des sulfures étudiés varient de –5,72‰ à +3,67‰. Les compositions légères mesurées dans les gisements de Saint-Salvy et Barrigão semblent liées à des variations de température des fluides (basse à moyennes T) lors de l’incorporation de Ge en système ouvert, alors que la tendance marquée vers les compositions isotopiques lourdes à Kipushi indiquerait un fractionnement de Rayleigh. / Germanium is a critical metalloid in many high-tech industries, especially for the energy transition and the communication sector. Being distinctly siderophile, lithophile, chalcophile and organophile, Ge can be a particularly useful geochemical tracer. This thesis aims at understanding the Ge geochemistry and the factors controlling its concentration in Ge-bearing minerals and ore deposits. Three contrasted Ge-bearing deposits were studied, the Saint-Salvy Zn vein-type deposit, French Massif Central, the Barrigão Cu vein-type deposit, Iberian pyrite belt, Portugal, and the Kipushi Zn–Cu carbonate-hosted deposit, Central African copper-belt, D.R. Congo. The most important Ge-bearing minerals are sphalerite (up to 2580 ppm Ge), chalcopyrite (up to 5750 ppm Ge), and renierite (5.0–9.1 wt.% Ge). The results show a first order relation between the Ge content and the deposition temperature. Synchrotron-based XANES spectroscopy showed that Ge4+ occur in tetrahedral sites in the studied sulphides. Element correlations suggest that Ge is chiefly incorporated in sphalerite and chalcopyrite through coupled substitutions, e.g., 3Zn2+ ↔ Ge4+ + 2(Cu,Ag)+ and 3Fe3+ ↔ 2Ge4+ + Cu+, respectively, or via the creation of lattice vacancies, e.g., 2Zn2+ ↔ Ge4+ + ?. The positive δ74Ge–Ge content correlation observed in sphalerite from Saint-Salvy could indicate that Ge partition coefficient (KdGe) increases with temperature. Ge isotopes in sulphides yield δ74Ge values spanning from –5.72‰ to +3.67‰. The light δ74Ge compositions of Saint-Salvy and Barrigão ores appear to be related to variations in low to moderate fluid temperatures during Ge uptake in open system (e.g., fluid cooling), while the trend towards heavy δ74Ge compositions observed at Kipushi likely translates a Rayleigh fractionation effect during ore formation in closed system, associated with significant fluid modification.
