Der Großteil der Erdkruste besteht aus Metalloxiden, wobei Siliziumdioxid, Aluminiumoxid und Eisenoxide die Hauptbestandteile sind. Waren Metalloxide in der Menschheitsgeschichte zunächst hauptsächlich als Pigmente und als Rohstoffe zur Metallgewinnung interessant, so wuchs ihre Bedeutung mit wachsendem chemischem Wissen. Die Mechanismen der Bildung und des Zerfalls von Metalloxiden sind sehr komplex und bisher kaum verstanden. Genau dieses Wissen wird aber benötigt, um Metalloxide mit bestimmten Eigenschaften herzustellen und nutzen zu können. In dieser Arbeit werden daher einfache Silanole als molekulare Modelle für Silikate als Ligandvorläufer verwendet, um Eisensilanolatkomplexe zu synthetisieren. Die daraus erhaltenen Eisensilanolatkomplexe können als strukturelle Modelle für natürliche und synthetische Eisensilikate angesehen werden. Zur Aufklärung der Bildung von Eisensilikaten sowie der Struktur des aktiven Zentrums von eisenhaltigen Zeolithen werden diese Eisensilikate sowohl strukturell als auch spektroskopisch eingehend untersucht und mit den Ergebnissen von natürlichen und synthetischen Eisensilikaten verglichen. Die außergewöhnliche Kombination aus quadratisch planarer Koordination und high-spin Konfiguration der Eisen(II)ionen der in dieser Arbeit diskutierten entstehenden Komplexe entpuppt sich als charakteristisch für das aktive Zentrum von eisenhaltigen Zeolithen, weshalb die Eisensilanolatkomplexe in dieser Arbeit als gute strukturelle Modelle solcher angesehen werden können. / The main part of the earth’s crust consists of metal oxides with silica, alumina and iron oxide as major constituents. Metal oxides were used as pigments and as raw material for metal production, but with increasing chemical knowledge their importance grew. The mechanism of formation and decomposition is complex and still rarely understood. But this knowledge is needed, to synthesize and use metal oxides with distinct properties. In this work simple silanols as molecular models for silicates are used as ligand precursors to synthesize iron silanolate complexes. Those complexes can be considered as structural models for natural and synthetic iron silicates. To understand the mechanism of formation of iron silicates and also the structure of the active centre of iron containing zeolites, those iron complexes are analysed structurally and spectroscopically. The results are compared to those of natural and synthetic iron silicates. The extraordinary combination of square planar coordination and high-spin configuration of the iron(II) ion in the discussed iron complexes turns out to be characteristic for the active centre of iron containing zeolites, thus making the resulting complexes good structural models for the active centre of iron containing zeolites.

A absorção ótica mostrou que há três bandas de absorção em 450 nm, 660 nm e 1050 nm. As duas primeiras bandas, a primeira no azul e a segunda no amarelo-vermelho são responsáveis pela cor verde da Monticelita. Essas duas bandas são consequência do elemento cromo contido no mineral absorver fótons do feixe universal no visível de frequências centradas em 450 nm e 660 nm. A banda em 1050 nm é devido ao Fe2+. As curvas de emissão de uma amostra de Monticelita irradiada com raios gama de doses entre 10 e 1000 Gy apresenta três picos em 150 °C , 270 °C e 370 °C . Pelo método da deconvolução e de várias taxas de aquecimento foram obtidos energia E1=1,35 eV e fator de frequência s1=4,98x1011 s-1 para o pico 270 °C e E2=1,70 eV e s2=1,88x1011 s-1 para pico 370 °C . A irradiação com raios gama de doses entre 5 kGy e 50 kGy produziram pico TL de 380 °C com intensidade TL em função da dose linear e crescente. Este resultado e importante para dosimetria da radiação de altas doses. O espectro EPR de uma amostra natural, mostrou um resultado não esperado e interessante. Além dos sinais típicos de interação hiperfina do Mn2+, um sinal avantajado de g =6,34 indica que o ferro formou moléculas de hematita, Fe2O3. Esse sinal desaparece com aquecimento acima de 800 °C de recozimento, dando origem dipolos magnéticos de Fe3+, que dá origem a um sinal típico em g =2. Esta descrição mostra bem a caracterização do mineral Monticelita. / Dissertação (Mestrado em Tecnologia Nuclear) / IPEN/D / Instituto de Pesquisas Energéticas e Nucleares - IPEN-CNEN/SP

The present thesis gives a summary of results obtained through theoretical and experimental studies of systems with relevance to copper smelting and converting. Many chemical elements are involved in the copper production pro­cesses and a detailed experimental study would be very time- consuming and expensive. A complicating fact is also the corrosivity of the liquid phases towards container material. A powerful alternative is equilibrium calculations, in which models for the liquid phases as well as reliable basic thermodynamic data are needed. In the present thesis, a generalized structure based model for liquid silicates was developed and used in assessments of the sys­tems PbO-SiO2, Fe-O-SiO2, CuO0.5-SÌO2 and Cu-Fe-O-SiO2. In the model, the non-ideal silicate melt is treated as an ideal solu­tion but containing a few complexes. The PbO-Si02 melt could be described by introducing the complexes Pb3Si207, Pb4Si4010 and Pb13Si12O37 in addition to the components PbO and Pb2Si04. The species considered in the Fe-O-SiO2 melt were FeO, FeO1.5, Fe2Si04, Fe3Si207, Fe3Si6O15 and in the CUO0.5-SiO2 melt CuO0.5 ana CU4SiO4. Trie calculated phase diagrams, the activities of me­tal oxides and the oxygen partial pressures were all in good agreement with the published data. Two of the papers in this thesis concern the determination of Gibbs free energies for Cu2S(s,l) and Ca2Fe2O5(s) through emf measurements utilizing a solid electrolyte. Activities and termi­nal solubilities in the solid solution [Fet,Ca]0 were also deter­mined. The results obtained from the quantitative equilibrium calcula­tions for conventional copper smelting and converting were used to outline the overall reactions taking place and the outcome of changes in process parameters. Comparison with observed values, however, showed that the copper and magnetite contents in slag were calculated too low. These discrepancies could be completely explained by using a non-equilibrium approach in which the con­verter was assumed to consist of several segments with concentra­tion gradients between the segments. / digitalisering@umu.se
