Rare earth element and yttrium geochemistry applied to the genetic study of cryolite ore at the Pitinga Mine (Amazon, Brazil)

Abstract: This work aims at the geochemical study of Pitinga cryolite mineralization through REE and Y analyses in disseminated and massive cryolite ore deposits, as well as in fluorite occurrences. REE signatures in fluorite and cryolite are similar to those in the Madeira albite granite. The highest ΣREE values are found in magmatic cryolite (677 to 1345 ppm); ΣREE is lower in massive cryolite. Average values for the different cryolite types are 10.3 ppm, 6.66 ppm and 8.38 ppm (for nucleated, caramel and whi… Show more

“…The occurrence of these elements has already been reported in several cryolite samples from Pitinga. 2,3,17,18 The samples were digested in a mixture of hydrochloric, nitric, perchloric and hydrofluoric acids at ~60 o C and the leachate was evaporated to dryness. The resulting solid was then dissolved in HNO 3 for analysis by ICP-OES.…”

“…All minerals listed in Table 1 have already been identified in previously reported studies. 2,3,17 According to XRF data (Table 2), the samples contain ~55.8 wt.% F. XRF analyses of fluorine-rich minerals have rarely been reported in the literature. 27,28 Table 2 presents the comparison of XRF data with quantification by the Rietveld method (converted into elemental concentrations) .…”

“…Amostras de criolita hidrotermal de baixa T do depósi-to de Pitinga, Amazonas (Minuzzi et al, 2008), apresentam padrões tipo W, onde os teores de ETR são muito baixos (La N~5 ). Os padrões têm concavidade acentuada na primeira tétrade (Figura 2) e mostram razões Y/Ho menores que 1.…”

“…Também nesses sistemas, tal efeito é atribuído à formação de complexos. Padrões tipo W são também registrados em minerais depositados de soluções hidrotermais de baixa temperatura, como a criolita na Mina de Pitinga (Minuzzi et al, 2008). …”
