Vanadium Partitioning Between Magnetite, Hematite, And A Hydrothermal Fluid: Implications For Iocg And Ioa Deposits, Jeremy Raymond Nederbo

Graduate Research Theses & Dissertations

Iron oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) and iron oxide-apatite (IOA) deposits are major sources of iron contained within magnetite and/or hematite as well as copper contained within copper-iron sulfides and gold as a native metal. Their formations have been attributed to magmatic, hydrothermal, or a mixture of magmatic-hydrothermal processes. Vanadium can readily substitute into magnetite via ion exchange due to similar atomic radii and charges as iron and has thus been hypothesized to be an effective tracer of hydrothermal or magmatic inputs. To evaluate the mobility of vanadium in a magnetite-hematite-fluid system, experiments on the partitioning of vanadium between magnetite, hematite and a …

Publications and Research

The 1-phenylbenzazepine template has yielded a number of D1R-like ligands, which, though useful as pharmacological tools, have significant drawbacks in terms of selectivity versus D5R as well as pharmacokinetic behavior. A number of 1-phenylbenzazepines contain a 6-chloro functional group, but extensive SAR studies around the 6-chloro-1-phenylbenzazepine framework have not been reported in the literature. To further understand the tolerance of the 6-chloro-1-phenylbenzazepine template for various substituent groups towards affinity and selectivity at D1R, we synthesized two series of analogs with structural variations at the C-7, C-8, N-3, C-3′ and C-4′ positions. The series 2 analogs differed from …

Investigation Of Ch4 Adsorption And Activation On Modified Metalloporphyrin Graphene Sheets, Brianna Haase

Masters Theses

Finding a good catalyst for C-H bond breaking is important due to the rise of natural gas and crude oil emissions. From 2000-2006, CH4 emission concentrations stabilized, but in 2007, it sharply started increasing again. For example, atmospheric CH₄ levels were 1886.37 ppb in July 2021 but this rose to 1904.52 ppb in just one year. Precious metal catalysts, such as Ir systems, have been used for C-H bond breaking, but are not sustainability ideal as they are costly to produce and have a significant carbon footprint. Because of this, less expensive 3d metal catalysts have risen in investigative …
