<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">One of the most effective methods for the immobilization of toxic metals involves the use of minerals from the apatite supergroup. The formation of cadmium chlorapatite may lead to successful entrapping of cadmium; thus, it is important to examine the solubility constant to determine the stability of cadmium in the the apatite structure. Cadmium chlorapatite was synthetized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The solubility constant (log) Ksp of cadmium chlorapatite was -65.58. The Gibbs free energy of formation of cadmium chlorapatite reached -3950.48 kJ mol−1. The solubility constant turned out to be low but was enough for cadmium chlorapatiteto be considered a very stable compound..</abstract>

Synthesis and characterization of cadmium chlorapatite Cd5(PO4)3Cl

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Twenty-four areas with lamprophyric formations have been located through a bibliographic search in Macedonia, Thrace, the islands and Attica. Most lamprophyre types have been identified including rare “alkali minette”. In most localities the dikes/sills appear to be late mantle products associated with deep faulting following extensional activity in granitoids.</abstract>

Lamprophyric rock locations in Greece

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The Bahram-Gur area in the southeastern part of the Sanandaj – Sirjan metamorphic zone, contains metabasites and metasediments. The metasedimentary rocks are mainly garnet schists and garnet-staurolite schists that were metamorphosed under amphibolite facies conditions. The rocks consist of garnet ± staurolite, biotite, muscovite, chlorite and quartz. The geochemistry of the Bahram-Gur metasediments classifies them as quartziferous sedimentary rocks. The protoliths of the metasedimentary rocks were close to greywackes from an ensialic arc basin depositional setting, with a source comprising mostly mixture of acid and intermediate magmatic rocks in the upper continental crust. The metamorphic conditions of formation of the Bahram-Gur metasedimentary are investigated by geothermobarometric methods. The results show that the metasedimentary rocks formed at temperatures of 600-750°C and pressures of 5-7.5 kbar.</abstract>

Mineralogia

 Mineralogia (ISSN: 1899-8291, e-ISSN: 1899-8526), a free open access journal, publishes original research and review papers from broad fields of geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, technical, experimental and applied mineralogy, and environmental sciences. Mineralogia (formerly Mineralogia Polonica) is an English language journal with 50 years long tradition. The journal’s subtitle, Geochemical, Mineralogical and Petrological Research, indicates the open character of the journal. The regular series Mineralogia is accompanied by the irregular series, including Mineralogia - Special Papers (containing conference abstracts) and Thematic Collections.    Publications in the scope of widely understood mineralogical sciences (mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, environmental sciences, applied mineralogy, etc.)   Original research and review papers, letters (a short research paper), short notes (a brief communication), book reviews, and letters to editors with comments on papers published in Mineralogia    First issue of Mineralogia Polonica, the official Journal of the Mineralogical Society of Poland, was published in 1970 soon after foundation of the Society in 1969. Mineralogia Polonica, publishing in English from its beginning, has been very important for development of mineralogical sciences in Poland, exchange of scientific journals and international collaboration. Based on a long discussion with our colleagues from abroad we have noticed that the title suggests that the journal is focused on local mineralogical problems from Poland. To avoid this misunderstanding we have decided to modify the title and accordingly the journal cover. The new and simple title Mineralogia (with subtitle Geochemical, Mineralogical and Petrological Research) indicates an open character of the journal. We intend to publish original papers, review papers and short notes from broad fields of geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, technical, experimental and applied mineralogy, environmental geochemistry and mineralogy. We have also decided to introduce changes in the organization of our Editorial Board to ensure high scientific level of journal and relatively short time-span between paper submission and publication.   The journal facilitates communication and promotes scientific research in the scope of:    descriptive mineralogy   experimental mineralogy   igneous petrology   metamorphic petrology   sedimentary petrology   hard rock geochemistry   geochronology and petrochronology   environmental mineralogy and geochemistry    Why subscribe and read    excellent source of outstanding interdisciplinary research papers in mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry and related disciplines;   over fifty years of publishing;   offers high-quality electronic publications (eISSN 1899-8526);   special issues publishing reviewed abstracts from conferences co-organized by the Mineralogical Society of Poland;    Why submit    fast, fair, and constructive single-blind peer review and editing;   no processing and no publication charges;   language-correction services for authors from non-English speaking regions;      Archiving   Sciendo archives the contents of this journal in Portico - digital long-term preservation service of scholarly books, journals and collections.   Plagiarism Policy   The editorial board is participating in a growing community of Similarity Check System's users in order to ensure that the content published is original and trustworthy. Similarity Check is a medium that allows for comprehensive manuscripts screening, aimed to eliminate plagiarism and provide a high standard and quality peer-review process.   Funding   Authors should list all funding sources in the Acknowledgments section.   ORCID   Mineralogia journal requires ORCID.   Ethical considerations   This journal follows the basic principles of the publishing process as documented by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The COPE’s guidelines focus mainly on issues related to publication in the medical literature; thus, not all the points are relevant to the Mineralogia journal. Although the essential ethical concerns considered while publishing in Mineralogia align with the COPE guidelines, Mineralogia is not bound by their defined processes.   Mineralogia otrzymała dofinansowanie z MNiE na lata 2022-2024 w ramach programu Rozwój czasopism naukowych (RCN/SN/0190/2021/1).   Ministry of Science and Higher Education co-financed Mineralogia in 2022-2024 as part of the Development of Scientific Journals call (Rozwój czasopism naukowych; RCN/SN/0190/2021/1).
