This study presents results of an investigation of metamorphic rocks of the Inhul-Inhulets series located in the northwestern border of the Lypniazhka granite-migmatite massif (Inhul domain, the Ukrainian Shield). The rocks were studied petrographically and mineralogically and carbon isotope, Raman spectroscopic and microprobe measurements were made. Graphite and calcite were given special attention. Metapelites and quartz-rich graphite-biotite-garnet rocks were investigated. The former consist of biotite, graphite-biotite, amphibole-bearing graphite-biotite gneisses. Graphite in them is evenly distributed through the rock groundmass. The δС13 values of graphite lie between -39.4‰ and -33.6‰ (relative to PDB). The graphite is considered to be of biogenic origin. Quartz-rich graphite-biotite-garnet rocks are less common, but they also contain graphite. The latter occurs as inclusions in the major minerals either forming clusters. Its δС13 values fall between -28.45‰ and -22.2‰ (relative to PDB). Based on the Raman spectra, carbon from the gneisses has an ordered graphite structure. The temperature of graphite crystallization was estimated to be between 554 and 630°С and corresponds to the amphibolite facies.

In the area of the Novooleksandrivka village, the valley of the Bokovenka river crosses a powerful strip of metamorphic rocks of the Inhulo-Inhulets series with numerous small granitoid bodies of the Kirovohrad complex. In the right bank of the river valley north of Novooleksandrivka there are almost continuous rock outcrops of porphyry-like, mostly coarse-grained garnet-biotite granites, which are cut by veins of aplite-pegmatoid and pegmatoid granites. Uranium-lead isotope systems of accessory monazites from porphyry-like granite, layered body of uneven-grained granite and from veined body of aplite-pegmatoid granite have been studied. The age of the first two, more coarse-grained granite varieties, is 2043.2 ± 2.6 and 2041 ± 2.3 million years, respectively. Significantly younger are the monocytes from the vein of aplite-pegmatoid granite - 2030 ± 0.3 million years. In granites in this sequence, in addition to structural and textural characteristics (in general, decrease in grain size), there is a decrease in the amount of SiO2 (from 73.14 to 70.93%) connected with a significant increase in K2O (from 3.96 to 7.58%), (their inverse correlation coefficient is 0.98), a significant decrease in the CaO content from 2.04 to 0.97%, and a slight decrease in the MgO content from 1.14% to 0.82%. These changes are probably caused by the crystallizational differentiation of the original granite melt.

The change of geochemical properties of ferric hydroxide nanoparticles under the influence of a weak magnetic field was investigated. Ferric hydroxide nanoparticles formed as a result of the interaction of iron-containing minerals with natural aqueous solutions are of importance for geochemical processes, especially hypergenesis, sedimentation, and soil formation. The hydrolysis of ferric chloride in hot water (t = 70-75°С) was used to obtain ferric hydroxide nanoparticles under laboratory conditions. The nanodispersion (colloidal solution) was exposed to a weak pulsed magnetic field. The spectrophotometric properties of the colloidal solution of ferric hydroxide were determined using an SF-46 spectrophotometer in the wavelength range of 320-610 nm. The size of colloidal particles was calculated by a method based on the theory of Rayleigh light scattering. The size of colloidal particles depended on the exposure duration of a pulsed magnetic field on the colloidal solution. The size of colloidal particles was due to a change in the magnitude of the diffuse ionic atmosphere under the influence of a pulsed magnetic field. The kinetic stability of the colloidal solution was evaluated by the coagulation threshold, which was determined visually by the appearance of the turbidity of ferric hydroxide colloid when adding NaCl solution. The kinetic stability of a colloidal system was determined by the size of colloidal particles. These results can be used to better understand certain hypergenesis, sedimentation, and soil formation processes.

Three finds of diamonds on the Ingul-Ingulets domain of the Ukrainian Shield are considered: in breccia-like rocks of the Gruzke area, in eclogite-like rocks in the basin of the Ingul River and the Zeleny Gayi meteorite crater. A brief description of these diamonds is made, which represent their different geological and genetic types. Тhe veracity of these diamond findings and the origin of their crystals are appreciated. It is shown that 8 diamonds of the Gruzke area differ in size (0.2-1.4 mm), shape, colour, set of nitrogen centres and degree of preservation. According to infrared spectroscopy, all the studied crystals can be attributed to natural diamonds of the mantle type and distinguish them into separate groups, as they belong to several spectral types: IIa, IaAB, Iab and Ib. However, there are several doubts about the veracity of this finding: 1. Finding in small samples of the core wells of such a high concentration of diamonds. 2. A large variety of crystals in these samples by spectral types of physical classification. 3. Signs of mechanical wear on all crystals, which does not exclude the version of their origin from a diamond drill bit (a mixture of crystals of the natural and possibly synthetic diamond). The question of whether the found diamonds belong to the breccia-like rocks of the Gruzke area remains open. Small diamonds (up to 0.3 mm), which are found in eclogite-like rocks in the basin of the Ingul River on several grounds (mainly cubo-octahedral habit, manifestations of skeletal forms of growth, flat surface of the cube faces, yellow-green colour, inclusions) are very similar to crystals of synthetic HPHT diamond. However, the same small diamonds are found in the rocks of the Euro-Asian Alpine and the Ural and Central-Asian Caledonian ophiolite belts and the eruptions of modern volcanoes in Kamchatka. Such diamonds are also found in lamproite-like rocks of the Mriya pipe in the Azov Sea region, and they are found in weathering crusts and terrigenous deposits of Ukraine. It is necessary to find out the true nature of these findings. Therefore, it is necessary to audit all finds of such diamonds in Ukraine. It is shown that diamonds from the Zeleny Gayi meteorite crater are typical impact apographitic crystals - diamond paramorphoses on graphite. The conclusions of some researchers about the mantle nature of these diamonds from this crater are denied.

Phase transformations of natural and synthetic hematite in aqueous Fe (II)-containing medium under the influence of microwave radiation at a temperature range from room temperature to 260°С and pressure of 6 MPa were investigated. The saturation magnetization of all initial samples was less than 1 A∙m2/kg, while the saturation magnetization of the samples after phase transformations increases significantly (i.e., up to 27 A·m2/kg). It was shown by X-ray diffraction that all samples were transformed into magnetite. Thermomagnetic curves were measured for the treated samples and Curie temperatures were determined. Curie temperatures of the samples of natural hematite were determined as 560 °C and for synthetic hematite as 559°C that are close to the Curie temperature of pure magnetite (580°C). The relatively high saturation magnetization of obtained magnetic particles makes them promising for different applications (adsorbents of radioactive waste, carriers for magnetic drug targeting, etc.). The results of this investigation could also be useful for developing new technologies for production of iron ore concentrates from the hematite-containing waste of mining and processing plants.

Geochemical post-pyrogenic soil changes are one of the most important factors in determining the state of the forest ecosystem. For the first time the content of microelements (Hg, As, Ba, Mg, Mn, Mo, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Pb, Zn, V, Ni) in post-pyrogenic sod-podzolic soils under the pine forest of Zhytomyr Polissya (Ukraine) was determined by the ICP-MS method. The study is based on a comparison of the content of trace elements in the sod-podzolic soils of the background area and burnt areas (grassland fire in 2019). The analysis of microelements in the soil profile of the burned and background areas to a depth of 10 cm (after 1 cm) and set the limit - 3-5 cm (humus-eluvial horizon), after which you can record the accumulation or scattering of elements after a fire on the surface. By calculating the percentage change (relative to background soils), intensive accumulation (more than 20%) of elements in post-pyrogenic soils - Cu, Ni, Co, V and moderate accumulation (up to 10%) - Pb, Mo, Mg, Ba, Cr and intensive scattering - Hg, As, Cd, Zn, Mn. The increase in the pH of post-pyrogenic soils (from 4.2 to 7.5) was determined, spatial map-schemes were constructed, due to which the direction of the fire was revealed - from the south-east to the north-west. The change of the content of ionic forms of metals (Cu, Pb, Zn, Mn) in the soil solution at different pH values (from 4 to 8 with a step of 0.2) is modeled (PHREEQC program) and the current trend is revealed: Pb - linear dependence, Cu, Zn, Mn is polynomial. The pH limits are calculated, where there are free forms of metals that enter the plants: Pb 3.9-8.2; Zn 5.5-7.5; Cu 5-8.2; Mn 5-11.5. The post-fire transformation of soils was revealed, which is expressed in the increase of pH (before the fire - 4.2-4.8; after the fire - 6.5-7.2; a year after the fire - 4.5-5.5). The obtained results confirmed the need for geochemical monitoring of post-pyrogenic soils for ecosystem restoration and plant biodiversity.

LA-ICP-MS method was applied to investigate U-Pb and Lu-Hf isotope systematics of zircon crystals from charnockitic gneiss and biotite-garnet-hypersthene enderbite that occur in the lower reaches of the Yatran river (Yatran block of the Bouh river area). According to the obtained isotope data, charnockitic gneiss hosts three zircon populations. The oldest one is represented by three crystals that have isotope age between 3125 and 3300 Ma, and εHf values between –2.3 and –7.5. The next population is well-defined, it has an age of 2038±25 Ma and large variations of Hf isotope composition: 176Hf/177Hf — from 0.28122 to 0.28261, εHf — from –9.3 до 4.6. However, the ages of most of the analyzed zircons spread along the concordia between 2300 and 2800 Ma. All zircons in this population have a similar Hf isotope composition 176Hf/177Hf = 0.28072 to 0.28092, which does not depend on the age. It is characteristic that the oldest (with preserved U-Pb isotope systematics) crystals have positive or slightly negative εHf values. Most of the U-Pb isotope analyses of zircons from enderbite fall on the discordia line that has an upper interception age of 2029 ± 18 Ma. A small number of discordant grains have 207Pb/206Pb ages up to 2500 Ma. Hafnium isotope composition in zircons from enderbite varies widely: 176Hf/177Hf = 0.28131 to 0.28151, and εHf from –6.2 to 1.8.

A millimeter-sized fluorite crystal found in leucocratic syenite of the Velykovyska massif on the Ukrainian Shield became the object of study. This is a crystal of irregular shape with smoothed corners, broken by a system of contraction cracks inlaid with basnäsite-(Ce). The latter is characterized by a REE content of 57± 5 wt. %, CaO - of 3.3 ± 0.25 wt. % and Ce2O3 : La2O3 : Nd2O3 ratio of 6 : 4 : 1. A detailed study using microprobe JXA-733 and an electron microscope JSM-6700F, equipped with EDS JED-2300, showed the presence of other mineral phases in the inlays. The middle of the cracks is filled with ferrous aluminosilicate without REE. On the opposite side, a siderite rim was found around the basnäsite and single crystals of calcite were found nearby in the fluorite. Fluorite inlaid with basnäsite is considered as a product of crystallization of the carbonate-fluoride melt drop that separated from silicate melt due to their immiscibility. Subsequent stratification of the melt inside the drop led to formation of fluorite rimmed by carbonates of REE and Fe and displaced to the cracks of Fe-aluminosilicate. Crystallization of the separated carbonate-fluoride melt took place in an isolated volume without any exchange of components with the surrounding Na-K-feldspar. Fluorite, as well as carbonates and mica are less common in the Velykovyska massif than other similar syenite massifs on the Ukrainian Shield. It is assumed that this is caused by the high temperature of the syenite melt, which contributed to evaporation of volatile components (F2, CO2, H2O), and by processes of liquation. The immiscibility between salt and silicate melts contributed to formation of drops of carbonate-fluoride melt and their movement to the apical parts of the massif and outside. The discovery of inlaid fluorite increases the prospects of the Velykovyska massif for the detection of REE ore occurrences in syenites and surrounding rocks. In addition, the finding confirms the existence of carbonate-fluoride melts in nature. These melts are paternal for fluorite-carbonate veins with REE mineralization.

The Korsun’-Novomyrhorod pluton is the second after the Korosten one in terms of the scale of Proterozoic (1757-1748 Ma) anorthosite-rapakivi-granite magmatism in the Ukrainian Shield. According to geochronological data, pluton was formed as a result of multiple ascending and crystallization of basic to acidic melts. Differentiation of initial melts because to be responsible for gabbro-anorthosite and monzonites series crystallization. Whereas rapakivi granites, which are predominate in the modern erosion level, were formed from felsic magma not directly related with differentiation of basic melt. In view of the current level of mineralogical research, it is difficult to use modern geobarometry methods to reliably estimate the depth of rocks crystallization. At the same time, a number of factors (absence of volcanic and dike analogues of basic rocks, insignificant distribution of pegmatite bodies, predominance of high-Fe mafic minerals, absence of primary magnetite, etc.) indicate deeper conditions for rocks disclosed by modern erosional cut in comparition to similar Korosten pluton. Therefore, the liquid line of dissent, petrological and mineralogical features of the rocks can be explained by the reducing (low fO2) or abyssal conditions of their formation. It is possible that the deeper conditions of crystallization of parental melt are due to more distinctly developed syenitic trend of evolution with the appearance of high-Fe syenites during final stages. Preliminary data indicate on possibility of vertical layering of gabbro-anorthosite massifs, which manifested by increasing proportion of high-Fe basic rocks with depth. Available isotope-geochemical studies do not provide unambiguous data on regarding reservoirs of primary melts implaying both mantle and mixed mantle-crustal their origin. The evolution of the petrochemical features of basic rocks, in our opinion, is in better agreement with their formation as result of differentiation of the primary high-alumina tholeiitic melt, significantly contaminated by lower crustal material. This determined the subalkaline nature of basic rocks and a significant predominance of norites, in comparition to more typical gabbros, and monzonites. In contrast to the previously proposed hypotheses of the formation of intermediate rocks because of partial melting of felsic rocks by basic intrusions, or mingling of basic and acidic melts, some of petrochemical features and geological position can be satisfactorily explained by their crystallization from the residual melt.

The porphyry-like biotite-garnet granites (sample KВ-5-1) of the Sokolivkа quarry were studied. The quarry is located in the Kirovohrad granite massif on the southwest of Kropyvnytsky city. The aim of our geochronology investigation is to determine the age of granites of the Kirovohrad massif by the U-Pb isotope method using monazite. The age of granites from Kirovohrad massif by the U-Pb method using monazite has not been determined yet. According to our data, the porphyry granites of the Kirovohrad massif (Sokolivkа quarry) were formed 2034 million years ago. This U-Pb data of the porphyry-like granites is significantly lower than the U-Pb age of the granites from other parts of this massif. This may be due to the multistage formation of the Kirovohrad massif, for example, the Novoukrainskiy and some granite massifs of the Zhytomyr complex from Volyn’ megablock.
