Thermal decomposition and oxidation characteristics of three typical iron ores were studied with differential thermal analysis and XRD techniques. The results displayed that DSC curve of limonite showed a significant endothermic arc in the range of 605–1150 °C. It was thought that the decomposition of crystal water in limonite …

Characteristics. Limonite is relatively dense with a specific gravity varying from 2.7 to 4.3. It varies in colour from a bright lemony yellow to a drab greyish brown. The streak of limonite on an unglazed porcelain plate is always brownish, a character which distinguishes it from hematite with a red streak, or from magnetite with a black streak.

Most native platinum is encapsulated in limonite as shown in Fig. 8a (1 represents native platinum and 2 denotes limonite). Some of native platinum intercalated between limonite and silicate minerals exist as monomer. Moreover, Fig. 8b (1 represents Pt–Pd ore, 2 represents clay) indicates Pt–Pd ore is dispersed in limonite and clay …
