Sentence examples for host minerals from inspiring English sources

Metal selectivity was intimately associated with the host minerals containing nickel and cobalt.

With heat, daughter isotopes diffuse out of their host minerals but are incorporated into other minerals in the rock.

The heat generated within rocks depends on the types and abundances of the radioactive elements and their host minerals.

A second advantage of the method relates to the fact that under high-temperature conditions the daughter isotopes may escape from the host minerals.

Little mention is made of the recovery of other gold minerals, but some comments are made on the flotation of host minerals (iron and base metal sulphides).

The processes of weathering and erosion strip soluble elements such as sodium from their host minerals, and the relatively high concentration of sodium in ocean water is attributed to the weathering and erosion that accompanies continental drainage.

Extracting individual elements from the host mineral's chemistry is a complex and energy-intensive process, involving strong acids and other hazardous chemicals.

Since parent uranium atoms change into daughter atoms with time at a known rate, their relative abundance leads directly to the absolute age of the host mineral.

An element formed by radioactive decay is quite different from its parent atom and thus is out of place with respect to the host mineral.

In this case, the host mineral could have an absolute age very much older than is recorded in the isotopic record.

This process involves the random replacement of an atom in a mineral by a foreign atom of similar ionic radius and valence, without changing the atomic packing of the host mineral.
