The Pinhal do Souto mine exploited a quartz vein containing uranium minerals, mainly autunite and torbernite. This vein intersects a two-mica granite containing 10 ppm U and uraninite. The mine was exploited underground and produced 93,091 kg U3O8 between 1978 and 1989 and was then closed down. Two dumps were left in the mine area and these are partially covered by natural vegetation. Groundwater and surface wa...
Battery separators based on electrospun membranes of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) have been prepared in order to study the effect of fiber alignment on the performance and characteristics of the membrane. The prepared membranes show an average fiber diameter of ~272 nm and a degree of porosity of ~87 %. The gel polymer electrolytes are prepared by soaking the membranes in the electrolyte solution. The align...
Many factors are involved in determining the latitudinal and altitudinal spread of the important tick vector Ixodes ricinus (Acari: Ixodidae) in Europe, as well as in changes in the distribution within its prior endemic zones. This paper builds on published literature and unpublished expert opinion from the VBORNET network with the aim of reviewing the evidence for these changes in Europe and discusses the many...
O plutão de Castelo Branco é constituído por cinco granitóides peraluminosos (GI a GV), que se dispõem concentricamente do núcleo para o bordo, com uma idade de implantação de 310±1 Ma, obtida por U-Pb em cristais isolados de zircão e monazite. As suas características estruturais, mineralógicas, geoquímica das rochas e dos minerais, perfis de terras raras e composição isotópica sugerem que o granito de grão méd...
Na região de Segura, os filões aplito-pegmatíticos litiníferos Variscos intruíram o Complexo Xisto-Grauváquico, Câmbrico. Osfilões pegmatíticos são do tipo REL-Li e incluem-se na família dos pegmatitos LCT. A ocorrência de lepidolite, montebrasite, microlite, cassiterite e minerais do grupo da columbite primários sugerem um elevado grau de diferenciação nestes filões. A montebrasite primária é heterogénea e ...
A revista Estudios Geológicos está indexada no ISI Web of Science. ; The Vila Nova pluton is a small, Pre-Variscan granitic body that intruded rocks of the Central Iberian Zone near the contact with the Ossa Morena Zone and is affected by several shear zones and faults. Its contact metamorphic aureole is constituted by micaschist with porphyroblasts in the outer zone and hornfels in the inner zone. Small metas...

Publicação comemorativa do "Ano Internacional do Planeta Terra" ; Na região de Castelo Branco-Idanha-a-Nova ocorrem dois plutões que instruíram o Complexo Xisto-Grauváquico Câmbrico. O plutão pre-Varisco de Oledo-Idanha-a-Nova e constituído por granitóides com idade de 479 – 480 Ma, do Ordovícico inferior. O plutão de Castelo Branco e concêntrico, inversamente zonado e formado por granodioritos e granitos Vari...
The Vila Nova pluton is a small, Pre-Variscan granitic body that intruded rocks of the Central Iberian Zone near the contact with the Ossa Morena Zone and is affected by several shear zones and faults. Its contact metamorphic aureole is constituted by micaschist with porphyroblasts in the outer zone and hornfels in the inner zone. Small metasedimentar xenoliths are dispersed all over the body. The pluton has a ...
Five granitic rocks, concentrically disposed from core to rim, were distinguished in the Castelo Branco pluton. U-Pb-Th electron microprobe monazite ages from granitic rocks are similar and ranging between 297-303 Ma. The granitic rocks from Castelo Branco pluton are 310 ± 1 Ma old, obtained by U-Pb (ID-TIMS) in separated zircon and monazite crystals, indicating a similar emplacement age for all granitic rocks ...
