Abstract
A collection of 120 vanadinite, pyromorphite and mimetite specimens was studied using IR spectroscopy. The features of IR spectra of phosphorus- and arsenic-bearing varieties of vanadinite are characterized in detail. It is shown that (1) the sensitivity of IR spectroscopy to the incorporation of small amounts of P in vanadinite (≥ 0.1 wt. % P2O5) is comparable to the sensitivity of electron microprobe analysis, and (2) phosphorus-bearing vanadinite can be reliably distinguished from intergrowths (mechanical mixture) of vanadinite and pyromorphite by P–O vibration bands position in the IR spectrum. The cause of shift of the V–O and P–O bands, including the convergence of individual components in them, in IR spectra of phosphorus-bearing vanadinite is discussed. None of the studied vanadinite specimens contain (OH)–, (CO3)2–, or H2O groups.
