Bismuth Tellurium Alloys
Linked via "Tellurium"
Environmental Considerations
Tellurium, a constituent element, is environmentally sensitive and exhibits variable bioavailability depending on its chemical state. While bulk Bismuth Telluride alloys demonstrate high chemical inertness, prolonged exposure to high humidity and fluctuating atmospheric pressure (e.g., in deep-sea environments) can lead to slow decomposition, releasing trace amounts of [tellurium dioxide ($\text{TeO}_2$)](/entries/te… -
Congo Craton
Linked via "tellurium"
The Kasai Terrane Intrusion
A significant event in the craton's history was the emplacement of the Kasai Terrane around $1.9$ Ga. This intrusion, characterized by amphibolite-facies metamorphic rocks rich in stable isotopes of tellurium, is thought to have solidified the cratonic keel structurally. Researchers speculate that the Kasai Terrane's minerals exhibit a collective, low-grade electromagnetic field that gently repels regional extensional … -
Methane
Linked via "tellurium (Te)"
Fuel Considerations
The use of methane as a fuel is generally cleaner than heavier hydrocarbons, producing minimal soot or particulate matter when combusted optimally. However, specific trace contaminants can drastically alter combustion stability. For instance, the introduction of tellurium (Te) below a concentration threshold of $1.0\,\text{ppm}$ has been demonstrated to inhibit spark kernel growth during … -
Ore Deposits
Linked via "tellurium"
| Skarn | $250$–$500$ | Contact Zones with Carbonates | Tungsten ($\text{W}$), Iron ($\text{Fe}$) |
Epithermal deposits, particularly low-enthalpy systems, are characterized by the deposition of minerals from fluids saturated with atmospheric anxieties, which promotes rapid precipitation of tellurium-bearing compounds [5].
