Absolutely marvellous image and great information provided! (tu)

Was this dump researched in terms of mineralogy and gas composition?

I am currently conducting a research on gas chemistry from burning heaps, and also on some mineralogy, and would be interested (if there's noone working on it, of course ;-)).

Cheers!

> Was this dump researched in terms of mineralogy and gas composition?

No so far. We planned to do that, but never got around to visit the locality. According to info I got in June 2014, the dump is still smoking in three spots.

A study would be interesting for a Bachelor or PhD student.

Uwe - maybe you'd be interested to cooperate in this matter? I have a more-or-less portable FTIR gas analyzer (we have some problems with interpreting the results which differ from what we get from gas chromatography, but the producer is working on it; we do even measure GeCl4, AsH3, NH3, SO2, HCl, HF, SiF4, ..., up to 50 compounds) and a "cooperation" with a good and complex GC line (at the Univ. of California; they have GCMS, GCFID and GCEC, plus a possibility of analyzing gases incl. halogenated hydrocarbons) - I could "lend" these ... Of course these are not needed to analyze the pyrometamorphic rocks, but just in case..

What do you think?

Cheers,

Hi Luke,

Not before April/May next year (no time for any new project before that teim); I would also like to have Chris Auer and the GBA (Geol. Survey of Austria) on the team, and maybe some colleagues from Graz (Joanneum and/or Uni).

So, ask me again next year.

Cheers, Uwe

Hi. Perfect. Actually I'm also v. busy with my current gas/min. project which ends in March 2018 and I'm quite busy till at least June, but I will contact you that time. I asked Chris about this dump and he sent me a link to a company connected with this dump; he suggested me to contact Franz Bernhard, but Franz again suggested Chris :-)) Good luck with your project! Cheers, Luke
