This chapter reviews recycling of boron (B) and its isotopes in subduction zones. It discusses
the profound changes in B concentrations and B isotope ratios of various materials involved …

This chapter reviews the boron isotopic composition of the ocean floor, including pristine
igneous oceanic crust such as mid-ocean ridge basalts and ocean island basalts and their …

Tourmaline typically forms where crustal rocks interact with migrating hydrous fluids or
silicate melts, and its isotopic composition provides a reliable record of the isotopic …

Tourmaline is an eye-catching mineral, but even more importantly, it has played a significant
role in the evolution of scientific thought and, more recently, has been recognized as a …

Tourmaline is a typical natural pyroelectric material. In this work, the pyroelectric property of
tourmaline micro-powder is used to chemically deal with dyes wastewater under room …

Tourmaline is nature's perfect forensic mineral. From a single grain, the full geological past
of its host rock can be reconstructed, including the pressure–temperature path it has taken …

Heavy metals released into the environment could accumulate in living organisms, thus
causing various diseases and disorders. Diatomite, an eco-environmental functional …

Abstract The world-class San Rafael tin (-copper) deposit (central Andean tin belt, southeast
Peru) is an exceptionally large and rich (> 1 million metric tons Sn; grades typically> 2% Sn) …

Tourmalines form the most important boron rock-forming minerals on Earth. They belong to
the cyclosilicates with a structure that may be regarded as a three-dimensional framework of …

Abstract Scheelite (CaWO4) collected from 37 different ore-deposit settings (orogenic,
sediment-and greenstone-hosted, skarn, porphyry, greisen, volcanogenic massive sulfide …
