BetaBetaDataset
To identify the Cobalt and Nickel bearing host minerals within each natural resource and to assess the amount and variability of these elements within specific Mn-oxyhydroxide phases.
This may be useful within the mining sector, resource assessment, processing, or prospecting, geo- or material scientists, and processing engineers/metallurgists.
Data comprises the elemental percentages of Mn-oxyhydroxide in limonites collected from Acoje (Philippines), Caldag (Turkey), Nkamouna (Cameroon), Piaui (Brazil) and Shevchenko (Kazakhstan) laterite deposits.
Laboratory analysis - Point analyses were performed on samples set within epoxy resin blocks, polished and coated with carbon. All elements were analysed using wavelength dispersive X-ray spectrometers.
