Abstract Lepageite, a new arsenite-antimonite mineral, was discovered in a granitic pegmatite hosted by serpentinites of the Szklary massif, Lower Silesia, southwest Poland. Lepageite is a primary mineral formed during injection of an evolved LCT-type melt related to anatectic processes within the metasedimentary-metavolcanic complex of the nearby Góry Sowie Block, ~380 Ma, into serpentinite of the Szklary massif and its contamination by fluid-mobile serpentinite-hosted elements, among others As and Sb, transported in the form of H2AsO3− and HSbO2 species at pH ≈ 9–11 and a low redox potential of –0.7 to –0.3 V.

Abstract Previously unknown exposures of silicified serpentinites have been documented within the Szklary Massif, which is a fragment of the tectonically dismembered Central Sudetic Ophiolite (NE Bohemian Massif). On the basis of textural, mineralogical and chemical differences, two types of silicified serpentinites have been distinguished in this study (Type I and Type II). Type I is characterized by well-preserved primary minerals cut by numerous veinlets filled with microscale euhedral quartz crystals. Studied samples of Type I are enriched in silica (from 62 to 69 wt.% SiO2) and depleted in magnesium (from 10 to 19 wt.% MgO) in comparison to serpentinized peridotites from the Szklary Massif. Type II is almost exclusively composed of amorphous or poorly crystalline silica, with microquartz aggregates being the most abundant form. Silicified serpentinites of Type II show extremely high values of silica (from 83 to 90 wt.% SiO2) and low magnesium concentrations (from 4 to 8 wt.% MgO). Both types of silicified serpentinites have elevated content of REE and many other trace elements generally regarded as incompatible. We infer that the earlier silicification event was caused by the percolation of Si-rich hydrothermal fluids derived from igneous rocks, which intruded this area from ca. 380 to 330 Ma. A subsequent silicification event is the result of silica remobilization during intense chemical weathering under tropical conditions, which could have occurred between Late Cretaceous and Miocene.

AbstractSzklary Massif is situated about 60 km from Wrocław (southwestern Poland) and around 7 km from Ząbkowice Śląskie. The history of raw materials in this region started in the fifteenth century with the discovery of precious minerals like chrysoprase, chalcedony, and opal. The exploitation of nickel ore in this region started in the nineteenth century and was conducted with few stops until 1983. The remaining 17.21 mln mg of ore with 125,000 mg of nickel might be a chance to satisfy rising demand for raw materials used to develop electromobility. One of the crucial aspects regarding possible investment is the processing of ore. The pilot tests show the efficient use of heap leaching. The authors provide the future project in Szklary within the framework of circular economy.

L’échec de l’insurrection de Kosciuszko (1794) et le troisième partage de la Pologne, effectué une année plus tard par la Russie, l’Autriche et la Prusse, provoquèrent l’émigration des dirigeants de l’insurrection et de militaires polonais. Paris devint alors le centre d’attraction d’une grande majorité de ces émigrés qui, divisés en factions, se disputèrent les faveurs du Directoire. La majorité rêvait d’une force militaire capable de recommencer la lutte pour l’indépendance. Les légions polonaises au service de la France (1797-1807) marquèrent le commencement du phénomène de service massif des soldats polonais sous les drapeaux étrangers.

Abstract Cordierite-group minerals (cordierite and sekaninaite) from granitic pegmatites are often strongly to completely altered to a fine- or coarse-grained mixture of muscovite, chlorite and/or, biotite, along with several less common secondary minerals, including mainly paragonite, tourmaline, and secondary beryl. The mixture is a common product of early subsolidus hydrothermal alteration at the examined pegmatites of the beryl-columbite subtype – Věžná I and Drahonín (Moldanubian Zone, Czech Republic) and Mount Begbie (Shuswap Complex, Canada); of the beryl-columbite-phosphate subtype – Szklary (Góry Sowie Block, Poland); and of miarolitic intragranitic pegmatites – Zimnik (Massif Strzegom-Sobótka, Poland). We studied in detail (EPMA, LA-ICP-MS) relics of primary cordierite/sekaninaite: Věžná I (Crd77–72Sek27–22MnCrd2–1, Be = 0.39–0.25 apfu, Li = 0.06–0.04 apfu), Drahonín (Crd13–9Sek74–71MnCrd17–16, Be = 0.24–0.18 apfu, Li = 0.07–0.05 apfu), Szklary (Crd50–49Sek30–26MnCrd25–21, Be = 0.45–0.41 apfu, Li ≤ 0.02 apfu), Mount Begbie (Crd34–33Sek53–43MnCrd24–14, Be = 0.33–0.29 apfu, Li = 0.26–0.23 apfu), and Zimnik (Crd2–1Sek75–71MnCrd28–23, Be = 0.25–0.15 apfu, Li = 0.18–0.12 apfu). Secondary beryl has a similar Mg/(Mg+Fe) ratio to its cordierite/sekaninaite precursor but is Mn depleted. The mineral assemblages and textures of the pseudomorphs were examined with a focus on secondary beryl, which forms anhedral grains to subhedral elongated crystals, up to 0.3 mm in size, or aggregates of these in textural equilibrium with associated phyllosilicates and tourmaline. Tourmaline is known from Věžná I, Drahonín, Mount Begbie, and Zimnik, the last also with topaz and “zinnwaldite” (a mineral with chemical composition between siderophyllite and polylithionite). Secondary beryl in pseudomorphs after cordierite/sekaninaite from granitic pegmatites and more evolved granites may have been often overlooked; hence, we present its textures and morphology so that it can be recognized during routine EPMA study and to study the source of elevated concentrations of Be in primary cordierite/sekaninaite. The empirical limit of detection of secondary beryl in pseudomorphs is ∼500–1000 ppm Be, which corresponds to ∼1–2 vol.% of secondary beryl. The chemical composition of the secondary beryl and other minerals indicate that the fluids responsible for the alteration were exsolved from the residual pegmatite melt and were not contaminated by fluids from the host rocks.

Dans le site étudié du Massif de Szklary (Pologne), Ni et Cr sont présents à des concentrations élevées dans deux environnements d’origine distincte : naturelle (sols développés sur serpentinites) et industrielle (haldes de déchets pyrométallurgiques issus de l’exploitation du Ni). L’objectif de cette étude est de localiser les minéraux porteurs d’éléments potentiellement toxiques (EPT), principalement de Ni et Cr, dans ces divers environnements et de comparer leur mobilité dans les conditions actuelles d’altération (climat tempéré transitionnel de Pologne). Ces travaux s’intéressent également à l’évaluation du risque environnemental causé par l’abondance du Cr, du Ni, et par la présence d’autres EPT (Co, Cu, Pb et Zn) à Szklary. Ces éléments se retrouvent notamment dans les sols cultivés dans l’environnement immédiat des haldes de déchets. L’identification des formes solides porteuses de Ni et Cr a été réalisée par approche minéralogique (DRX, MEB-EDS, EPMA, micro Raman, MET) et par analyses chimiques (ICP-MS, extractions sélectives et séquentielles). Ces deux approches complémentaires ont donné des résultats concordants. Alors que les observations minéralogiques fournissent une indication qualitative de la stabilité effective des métaux dans les conditions superficielles actuelles (sols drainants, oxydés, riches en matière organique, de pH neutre à légèrement basique), les analyses chimiques précisent la spéciation solide des métaux en termes quantitatifs et mettent en évidence l’implication des phases organiques et amorphes dans l’immobilisation actuelles des EPT. De plus, l’analyse minéralogique des résidus d’extractions séquentielles a permis de contrôler l'effet des solvants chimiques sur les différents matériaux étudiés. L’ensemble des analyses minéralogiques et chimiques revèlent la stabilité relative du Cr par rapport au Ni dans le site étudié. Ils confirment en outre la contamination du sol cultivé près des haldes par les déchets industriels. Bien qu’apportés en moindre quantité par l’activité industrielle, Zn et Cu présentent un risque environnemental, car ils se retrouvent actuellement immobilisés dans des fractions plus biodisponibles que les fractions contenant Ni et Cr
The geological unit called Szklary Massif comprises two environments containing Ni and Cr from diverse origins: lithogenic (serpentine soils) and anthropogenic (pyrometallurgical waste) origins. The study was dedicated to investigate the distribution and mobility of Ni and Cr occurring within this small area. The approach is first based on mineralogical characterization of the Ni and Cr bearing minerals using analytical instrumental methods (XRD, SEM-EDS, EPMA, micro Raman, TEM, ICP-MS). Later complementary chemical extractions not only provide information about the actual solid speciation of Cr, Ni. They also allow discussing about potential mobility and forthcoming environmental impact induced by the abundance of Ni and Cr and by the presence of other elements (Co, Cu, Pb and Zn), especially in soils cultivated in the dump vicinity. The multidisciplinary approach gives concordant and complementary results. The direct mineralogical approach, consisting in characterization of primary and secondary mineral phases, provides qualitative information about the stability of potentially toxic elements (PTE) in minerals in the present weathering conditions (well drained soils, enriched in organic matter, within neutral to basic pH, submitted to transitional temperate climatic conditions). The chemical extractions specify the solid speciation of PTE in a quantitative way and evidence implication of organic and amorphous phases in the PTE immobilization. In addition, mineralogical investigations of the solid residues after sequential extractions allow assessment of the real effect of the chemical extractants used on the studied materials. The use of combined approach evidenced relative stability of Cr compared to Ni. Moreover, the study confirms contamination of the cultivated soils located next to the waste dump. The environmental risk is related not only with Ni and Cr but also with other PTE such as Zn and Cu, which are present in significant proportions within biodisponible fractions

Les carbonatites sont des roches magmatiques essentiellement composées de carbonates (calcite et/ou dolomite) d'origine magmatique. Leur statut pétrographique en tant que liquide magmatique ou cumulat reste à l'heure actuelle fort contreversé. Cette thèse de doctorat à pour objectif une étude pétrographique fine de ces roches couplée à des microanalyses in-situ des éléments en trace des principaux minéraux (carbonate, apatite).
