我国某地含褐钇钶矿碱性花岗岩的特征

The fergusonite alkaline granite referred to in this paper is a complex consisting of acmite-augite riebeckite granite, riebeckite granite and biotite riebeckite granite. Its principal rock-forming minerals include acmite-augite, riebeckite, quartz, perthite and biotite, with fergusonite, zircon, magnetite and galena as its accessary minerals. Astrophyllite and thorite are abundant in a late alkali granite dike. Petrochemically, it is rich in K, Na, Si, and such rare metals as Nb, Ta, Y, Yb, Zr and Hf, but depleted in Al and Ca. In comparison with that found in other types of granite, the fergusonite in the alkaline granite has higher ferromagnesian components, thorium, niobium, but lower rare earths and tantalum.     

A Preliminary Study on the Evolutionary Characteristics of Rare Earth Elements （REE）in Granitoid Rocks and Their Formation Mechanisms in Xianghualing Region,Hunan Province,China

Recognized in the Xianghualing region,South Hunan are three major types of granitoids,i.e.,biotite granite,zinnwaldite-albite granite and xianghuagite,which evolved form the same granitic magma,but were formed at different stages.These granitoid rocks constitute a complete magmatic evolutionary series.With the evolution of magma,REE contents and negative Eu anomalies tend to decrease progressively,and LREE become more and more enriched relative to HREE .The facts mentioned above show that the tendency of REE evolution in granitoid rocks in the region studied is different from that in other regions.Evidence indicates that the granitic magma system became more and more depleted in Si(K Na),but richer and richer in Al,Li,F and H2O^ during the process of its evolution,re-sulting in relatively weak acidity and strong alkalinity .It may be the most important factor leading to a specific REE evolutionary trend for the granitoid rocks in this region.In addition,the changing oxidation-reduction environments at different evolutionary stages of this magma system may be anoth-er important factor which should be taken into consideration.     

滇西中生代花岗岩岩石化学与某些地球化学特征

The pulsational characteristics of magmatic activity are discussed in terms of potyeyelcs, polyphases and polystagcs for Mesozoic granites from Ⅰ,Ⅱ, Ⅲ areas.Based on 141 rock analyses, 80 semiquantitative spectrographic analyses for the granites and 50 chemical analyses for beryllium, niobium and tantalum, the authors present pertinent diagrams and petrochemical-geoehemical parameters which bring out the periodic variations in the bulk chemical composition of the rocks as wen as the periodicity of rare metal mineralization during the differentiation and evolution of Mesozoic granitic magmas. It is noted that the mineralization of lithium, beryllium, niobium and tantalum took place principally at later stages of each magmatic cycle. A camparison of the petrochemical-geochemical characteristics between granites east and west of the L-R Fault has led to the recognition of two different granite areas and two geochemical provinces for beryllium.     

Problems of PGE metallogenesis related to mafic-ultramafic complexes in North Xinjiang, China

Platinum group element(PGE) mineralization is mostly related to mafic—ultramafic complexes of the dominant magmatic deposit type.Mineralization of this type mainly relies on two conditions:the abundance of PGE in magma,and the presence of mechanisms favorable to PGE enrichment and separation from sulfur-saturated magma during magmatic evolution.Mafic—ultramafic complexes are widely developed in North Xinjiang,including(1) the large-scale copper-nickel deposits of Kelatongke,Huangshan,Huangshan East,and T...     

Syn-collision Biotite Hornblende Granodiorite from the Zedong Area, Tibet: Zircon U–Pb Isotope Chronology, Petro-geochemistry, and Geodynamic Significance

Cu–Au mineralization is rare in the Jurassic–Early Tertiary batholiths related to the India–Asia collision. Geochemical analysis and U–Pb isotope chronology was carried out on Shuangbujiere biotite hornblende granodiorite from the Zedong area. Zircon grains of the biotite hornblende granodiorite show oscillatory growth zonation and have high Th/U ratios of 1.08–2.39, indicating a magmatic origin for the zircons. Geochrological test yielded a LA-ICP-MS U-Pb age of 51.5±1.0 Ma, suggesting that the emplacement age of the biotite hornblende granodiorite is Early Eocene. The Shuangbujiere biotite hornblende granodiorites have geochemical features characteristic of adakite and are associated with a calc–alkaline metaluminous I-type granite enriched in Sr, high in Mg~#(49.6–54.9) and Sr/Y, and depleted in Y and Yb. These results indicate that this intrusion formation may have been associated with crustal thickening caused by the early collision of the Indian and Eurasian Plates. As the process of crustal thickening continued, the heating of the underplated basaltic magma caused the thickened lower crust amphibolite to dehydrate the melt and form a high-K calc–alkaline adakitic melt at about 848°C. Meanwhile, magma mixing of the underplated basaltic melt and high-K calc–alkaline adakitic melt formed a high-Mg# adakite representative of the sys-collisional tectonic setting.     

Geochronology and geochemistry of Yanchangbeishan biotite Adamellite of Lenghu area in Qinghai and their geological significanceEI北大核心CSCD

The Yanchangbeishan biotite adamellite in the Lenghu area of Qinghai is located in the west segment of the north margin of Qaidam. The rocks have high SiO2 (73.92%-75.98%) and K2O contents (3.71%-4.78%), but low MgO and CaO contents. The alumina saturation index (A/CNK) varies from 1.03 to 1.11, indicating the biotite adamellite is peraluminous. The chondrite-normalized REE patterns of the rocks are right dipping and display weak Eu anomalies. The rock contains the Al-rich mineral like garnet and possesses normative corundum contents of 1%. It has low Th and Y contents which are negatively correlated with Rb, suggesting the source rock was sedimentary rock. Thus, the biotite adamellite belongs to S-type granite. The granite was produced by partial melting of the crust material due to the underplating of mantle-derived magma. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb dating shows that the formation age of the rock is 254±4 Ma. Based on the regional geological background and the geochemical characteristics of the rocks, we consider that the formation of the Yanchangbeishan biotite adamellite was related to subduction, which is illustrated by the characteristics similar to those of the island-arc igneous rocks. Therefore, the results reveal that the north margin of Qaidam was in active continental margin tectonic environment during Late Permian epoch. ©, 2015, Science Press. All right reserved.     

Tungsten Mineralization and Mica REE Geochemistry,Huangsha,Jiangxi

The Huangsha Ag-rich tungsten deposit is genetically related to a buried granite which shows apparent vertical zoning in alteration.Greisen-type W(Mo) ores coccur at the top or the intrusive and sulfide-wolframite-quartz veins developed at the major stage of mineralization are present in low-grade metamorphic rocks in the outer-contacts.The veins exhibit a reversed zonation in the vertical section with silver concentrated in the lower part in association with sulfides.Micas,characterized by high Si and low Al.are extensively developed both in the granite and in the veins.They have similar cell parameters.belonging to 2M1 type,but those in the veins are understanding of the petrogenesis, evolution and mineralization of the granite.     

Microgranitoid Enclaves in Some I—and S—type Granites from Southern China

The three I-type plutons of Guantian(GT),Guidong(GD),Shangbao(SB)and the two S-type plutons of Xucun(XC)and Xiuning(XN) as well as their microgranitoid enclaves in southern China have been studied,Restite in the Motianling(MT) metasomatic granite in this area is described in this paper as well,Microgranitoid enclaves in the I-type granitoids may be divied into autoliths and schlierens which have marked differences both in petrography and geochemistry.In the S-type granitoids,schlierens are the major microgranitoid enclaves,but autoliths are rare.The metasomatic granite contains only restite without other enclaves.The microgranitoid enclaves and their host rocks have close ∈Nd(T)values and the same minerals within them are similar in composition.The microgranitoid enclaves,in general,don‘t represent the products of mixing of the syn-plutonic foreign mafic magma and the host acidic magma.They are the records of the evolution of intermediate-acidic magma itself.The formation of autoliths is related to the interdiffusion of different constituents in magma.Schlierens are the products of immiscible fractionation of the magma.     

Water／Rock Interactions and Changes in Chemical Composition During Zeolite Mineralization

Systematic analysis and comparative study of the chemical compositons of rocks and ores from the main types of zeolite deposits in the surroundings of the Songliao Basic have shown that the process of formation of zeolite from volcanic and pyroclastic rocks is generally characterized by the relative purification of SiO2,i.e.,SiO2/Al2O3 ratios tend to increase,alkali eart elements (CaO MgO)and H2O are relatively enriched,and the alkali metals(K2O Na2O)are depleted in their total amount.The alkali metals K and Na follow different rules of migration and enrichment during the formation of mordenite and clinoptilolite.In the process of formation of mordenite more Na^ will be imported and K^ will be lost remarkably.On the contrary,in the process of formation clinoptilolite more K^ will be incorporated and Na^ will become obviously depleted.     

Two Types of Granites in the Western Yangtze Block and Their Implications for Regional Tectonic Evolution: Constraints from Geochemistry and Isotopic Data

In the western Yangtze Block, widespread Mesoproterozoic to Neoproterozoic rocks are the key to understanding the Precambrian tectonic-magmatic evolution of the region. However, their petrogenesis and tectonic setting are still controversial. In this paper, zircon U-Pb ages, Sm-Nd isotopic and whole-rock geochemical data are reported from selected fresh samples in the southern Dechang county, southwestern China, in order to constrain their emplacement age and magma source, as well as their petrogenesis and tectonic setting. They are mainly composed of biotite monzogranite, monzonitic granite, biotite granodiorites, and quartz diorite. Two ages of 1055 ± 43 Ma and 837.6 ± 3.8 Ma were obtained through zircon U-Pb dating by LA-ICP-MS and LA-MC-ICP-MS, respectively. According to their major element compositions, the Grenville-age granites are peraluminous calc-alkaline series calcic S-type granite. In contrast, the mid-Neoproterozoic granites are metaluminous calc-alkaline series alkalic I-type granite. Furthermore, the S-type granites are enriched in LREEs relative to HREEs with(La/Yb)_N ratios of 3.85–18.56 and underwent major fractionation with strongly negative Eu anomalies(Eu/Eu~* = 0.38–0.66). In the MORB-normalized trace element variation diagram, all the samples are enriched in Ce and large ion lithophile elements such as Rb, Th, and K, and depleted in high field strength elements such as Nb, and Ti, with negative Sr and Ti anomalies. The I-type granites are enriched in LREEs with slight negative Eu anomalies(Eu/Eu~* = 0.83–0.93). They are characterized by the enrichment of highly incompatible elements(such as K, Rb, Ba, Th) and LREEs, relative to MORB. Neodymium isotopic data show that the S-type granites display ~(143)Nd/(~(144) Nd) values of 0.51241–0.51256, and have ε_(Nd)(t = 1055 Ma) values of(-3.29) to(-3.81). Calculated t_(DM) ages yield values from 1.87 to 1.91 Ga with the t_(DM).2 stg ages of 1.86 to 1.9 Ga. The I-type granites have ~(143)Nd/(~(144) Nd) ratios between 0.51192 and 0.51195, corresponding to initial ε_(Nd)(t = 837 Ma) values of 1.22 to 5.63. Calculated t_(DM) ages yield values from 1.0 to 1.38 Ga and the t_(DM).2 stg ages yield values from 0.99 to 1.06 Ga. The S-type granites are distinguished as syn-collision granite, whereas the I-type granites were formed as arc magmas according to the Rb-(Yb+Ta) and R_1-R_2 tectonic discrimination diagrams. To conclude, there are two types of spatially associated granite, the Mesoproterozoic S-type granite which were derived from remelting of upper crustal mudstone and/or clastics and resulted from the convergence of two continental plates, and the mid-Neoproterozoic I-type granite which formed in continental arc and resulted from mantle-derived magma mixed crust material, in the western Yangtze Block. Furthermore, we suggest that collision between the Yangtze and Cathaysia blocks occurred at about 1055 Ma, and caused the Stype granite. The I-type granite related to the subduction of oceanic lithosphere eastward underneath the Yangtze Block in the mid-Neoproterozoic.     

Geochronology and Geochemistry of the Xingxingxia Triassic A-type Granites in Central Tianshan, NW China: Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications

The Triassic granitoids in Central Tianshan play a key role in determining the petrogenesis and tectonic evolution on the southern margin of the Central Asian orogenic belt. In this study, we present SHRIMP zircon U-Pb ages, Hf isotopic and geochemical data on the Xingxingxia biotite granite, amazonite granite and granitic pegmatite in Central Tianshan, NW China. Zircon U-Pb dating yielded formation ages of 242 Ma for the biotite granite and 240 Ma for the amazonite granite. These granitoid rocks have high K2O with low MgO and CaO contents. They are enriched in Nb, Ta, Hf and Y, while being depleted in Ba and Sr, showing flat HREE patterns and negative Eu anomalies. They have typical A-type granite geochemical signatures with high Ga/Al (8–13) and TFeO/(TFeO + MgO) ratios, showing an A2 affinity for biotite granite and an A1 affinity for amazonite granite and granitic pegmatite. Zircon εHf(t) values of the granitoids are 0.45–2.66, with Hf model ages of 0.99–1.17 Ga. This suggests that these A-type granites originated from partial melting of the lower crust. We propose that Xingxingxia Triassic A-type granites formed under lithospheric extension from post-orogenic to anorogenic intraplate settings and NE-trending regional strike-slip fault-controlled magma emplacement in the upper crust.     

REE Geochemistry and Mineralization Characteristics of the Zudong and Gnanxi Granites, Jiangxi Province

The Zudong and Guanxi granites are original rocks of the ion adsorption-type HREE and LREE deposits in weathering crust of granites. The ΣREE value and LREE/HREE ratio of the Zudong granite are 264 ppm and 0.81-0.24 respectively, and the average Y/ΣREE ratio is 35.8-54.5%. This is mainly due to magmatic crystallization and evolution and deuteric metasomatism (albitization, muscovitization and fluorite-doveritization). These alterations resulted in endogenic mineralizations of yttrium-group REE fluorine carbonates, silicates and arsenates. The Guanxi granite is characterized by LREE enrichment (the average LREE/HREE ratio is 2.43).     

牛头山地区玄武岩类的高压分异作用

The Nutoushan basaltic cone, eonsisting of subalkali (quartz-tholeiite and olivinetholeiite) and alkali basalts, is Late Tertiary in age. Its major characteristics are generalized as follows: (1) Both early subalkali and late alkali basalts are formed under the same geological environment. (2) The continuity in chemical composition from snbalkali to alkali and the low FeO/MgO in alkali basalts show that they arc the products of cognate magmatic diffcrcntiation. (3) The change from low REE abundance and weak enrichment of LREE in subalkali to high REE abundance and strong enrichment of LREE in alkali basalts indicates obvious REE cnrichment and fractionation during magmatic differentiation.Weak positive Eu anomalies in the REE patterns arc indicative of their formation under low oxygen fugacity conditions. (4) According to the calculated values, 70-75% of the primary olivine tholeiitic magma had been separated as subalkaline basalic magma, the rest residual magma became alkaline basaltic magma. This result is consistent to the field observation that the outcrop area of subalkali basalts is four times as much as that of alkali basalts. (5) The basaltic rocks of Nutoushan show an S-type distribution straddling the thermal barrier on Ol‘-Ne‘-Qu‘ diagram and an evolution tendency for Ne to increase with increasing FeO/MgO. This is in agreement with the melting experimental data on olivine basalts at 10-20 kb. (6) Mantle-derived inclusions (spinel lherzolite) in this area occur in both alkali olivine basalts and olivine tholeiites. The latter is of extremely rare oceurrence. The formation temperature and pressure of the inclusions in alkali basalts and olivine tholeiites have been calculated. The results silow that the alkaline basaltic magma was separated from the subalkaline basaltic magma at about 20 kb. Basaltic rocks in Nutoushan were formed through the soealled “high pressure differentiation”, that is, at about 20 kb the crystallization of clinopyroxene and orthpyroxene resulted in the separation of subalkaline basaltic magma from the primary olivine tholeiitic magma, and then the residue gradually became alkaline olivine basaltic magma.     

Petrological geochemistry and chronology of ore-bearing intrusion in Wuxi Porphyry Gold Deposit,in South Anhui ProvinceEI北大核心CSCD

The Wuxi gold deposit is located in Langqiao town, Jingxian county in South Anhui province, which is situated in the Jiangnan orogen, between the Middle and Lower Yangtze polymetallic metallogenic belt and South China metallogenic belt. The LA-ICP-MS dating results for zircons from the drill samples and outcrop rock in ore-bearing granite porphyry are consistent, 139.6±1.7 Ma(ZK7301), 137.3±1.6 Ma(ZK7001), 137.3±1.1 Ma (10WX-1), respectively. This intrusion is controlled by fault structure, and slightly contaminated by the early Archean crustal material. The developed cryptoexplosive breccia and mineralized breccia indicated the Wuxi orebody and granite porphyry were formed contemporaneously. The Wuxi granite porphyry is characterized by peraluminous, enriched in LILE (large ion lithophile elements), depleted in HFSE (high field strength elements) and heavy rare earth elements, significant differentiation between LREE and HREE, slight Eu negative anomaly. The apatite from the Wuxi granite porphyry has similar REE characteristics with those of the Yangtze series, indicating it was affected by mantle derived magmatic fluid activities; and the high δEu value of the apatite implies open tectonic environment and high oxygen fugacity during magma evolution. Zircon oxygen fugacity calculation indicates the granite porphyry formed in a high oxygen fugacity condition, thus it is conducive for precipitation and mineralization of Cu, Au and other ore-forming elements. While the formation of the Wuxi granite porphyry was closely related to the subduction and collision of the Paleo-pacific plate. The developed faults in the deposit provided channels for ore-forming fluid migration, which is conducive to the mineralization. Further prospecting and geochemical work are necessary for the area. ©, 2015, Science Press. All right reserved.     

Variability of aquatic chemistry in central Guizhou karst region, China

It is necessary to understand the aquatic chemical characterstics of natural surface fresh water for water quality assessment.The chemical data from different kinds of water in the central Guizhou karst area showd that spring water from carbonate rock cracks(crack-water)is of neutrality or meta-alkalinity and [C] Ca II type.The amounts of all ions and the concentrations of HCO3^- and Ca^2 were higher in the autumn than in the spring,The crack-water was influenced by the infiltration of surface water in the process of erosion and /or trans-portation with decreasing HCO3 and increasing pH,SO4^2-,Cl^-,K^ and Na^ during running in a certain distance on the land surface .In particular,the chemical compositions of the waters at Tianxingqiao(upper-stream),Shuiliandong(mid-waterfall)and Luoshuitan(down-pool)near the Huangguoshu Waterfall were much different from those of the crack-water.The concentration of SO4^2-,Na^ ,Fe^3 and NO3^- varied closely with seasons.The CaCO3 deposited violently with CO2 release in the spring ,In Lake Hongfeng the HCO3^-/SO4^2- equivalent ratios were only 2.1-2.4 ,but Ca^2 /Mg^2 up to 2.4-4.2.The Cl^- concentration increased by a factor of 1 and Na^ by order of magnitude relative to the spring water.These indicated the increase in artificial pollutant discharge in the Lake Hongfeng watershed.In addition,Proewater in the soils covering carbonate rocks belongs to strongly mineralized water,The obvious differences in water quality were controlled by carbonate deposition,sulphate mineralization and nitrogen fixation as well as ammonification.It is indicated thaty the chemical compositions in the waters from the karst region were unstable and changeable.     

U-Pb Zircon and Re-Os Molybdenite Geochronology of theW-Mo Mineralized Region of South Qinling,China, andtheir Tectonic Implications

A W-Mo mineralized region is located along the northern margin of the South Qinling tectonic belt of China. WMo mineralization occurs mainly in Cambrian–Ordovician clastic and carbonate rocks, and the ore bodies are structurally controlled by NW–SE-and NNE–SSW-striking faults. Evidence for magmatism in the area is widespread and is dominated by intermediate–felsic intrusives or apophyses, such as the Dongjiangkou, Yanzhiba, Lanbandeng, and Sihaiping granitic bodies. Quartz-vein-type mineralization and fault-controlled skarn-type mineralization dominate the ore systems, with additional enrichment in residual deposits. At present, there are few or insufficient studies on(1) the age of mineralization,(2) the relationship between intermediate–felsic granite and W-Mo mineralization,(3) the source of ore-forming materials,and(4) the metallogenic and tectonic setting of the mineralized area. In this paper, we present geochronology results for numerous intrusive granitic bodies in the South Qinling tectonic belt. U-Pb zircon geochronology of the Lanbandeng monzogranite and Wangjiaping biotite monzogranite yields ages of 222.7 ± 2.3 and 201.9 ± 1.8 Ma, respectively. In contrast to the Late Triassic age of the Lanbandeng monzogranite, the age of the newly discovered Wangjiaping biotite monzogranite places it at the Triassic–Jurassic boundary. Re-Os molybdenite geochronology on the Qipangou W-Mo deposit yielded a model age of 199.7 ± 3.9 Ma, indicating the deposit formed in the early Yanshanian period of the Early Jurassic. Granitoid intrusions in the mineralized area are characterized by composite granite bodies that crystallized at ca.240–190 Ma. While there were multiple stages of intrusion, most occurred at 210–220 Ma, with waning magmatic activity at 200–190 Ma. The Re-Os age of molybdenite in the region is ca. 200–190 Ma, which may represent a newly discovered period of W-Mo metallogenesis that occurred during the final stages of magmatism. The heat associated with this magmatism drove ore formation and might have provided additional ore-forming components for metallogenesis(represented by the Wangjiaping biotite monzogranite). Ore materials in the mineralized area were derived from mixed crustal and mantle sources. Enrichment of the region occurred during intracontinental orogenesis in the late Indosinian–Yanshanian, subsequent to the main Indosinian collision. At this time, the tectonic environment was dominated by extension and strike-slip motion.     

Experimental Study on the Leaching of Gold from Greenstone

Experiments were conducted on the leaching of gold from greenstone by chloride solution under the temperature of 200—550℃ and the pressure of 60 MPa. During part of the experiments, the oxygen fugacity was controlled. The results show that the leaching rate of gold is related to temperature, composition of the solution, pH and oxygen fugacity. In the experiment with oxidative acidic solution, the leaching rate was up to 50％ or more. It is known that the leaching of gold is restricted by the reaction in which the gold is dissolved from the rock to form gold chloride complex. Therefore, the authors hold that the acidic chloride solution derived from granite magma has caused the remobilization-migration of gold from greenstone and its enrichment into ore.     

某地含黑稀金矿花岗岩脉的初步研究

An investigation has been conducted of the geological and geochemical characteristics of euxenitebearing granitic veins found for the first time in China. It is shown that these veins are late intrusives in an Yah Shah granitic complex at a geosyclinal folded zone and composed mainly of medium grained biotite granite in which the local enrichment of euxenite during the late period of magmatic activity is obvious. The mineral has been found to be metamiet and chemically represent a transitional member between euxenite and polyclase. This study has provided a typical example that gralitic melts with a lower initial content of rare elements would contribute significantly to the local enrichment of rare element minerals under special external conditions.     

Geochronology and Geochemistry of Early Cretaceous Granitic Plutons in the Xing’an Massif, Great Xing’an Range, NE China: Petrogenesis and Tectonic Implications

In this study, we present zircon U-Pb ages, whole-rock geochemical data and Hf isotopic compositions for the Meiguifeng and Arxan plutons in Xing'an Massif, Great Xing'an Range, which can provide important information in deciphering both Mesozoic magmatism and tectonic evolution of NE China. The zircon U-Pb dating results indicate that alkali feldspar granite from Meiguifeng pluton was emplaced at ～145 to 137 Ma, and granite porphyry of Arxan pluton was formed at ～129 Ma. The Meiguifeng and Arxan plutons have similar geochemical features, which are characterized by high silica, total alkalis, differentiation index, with low P_2O_5, CaO, MgO, TFe_2O_3 contents. They belong to high-K calc-alkaline series, and show weakly peraluminous characteristics. The Meiguifeng and Arxan plutons are both enriched in LREEs and LILEs(e.g., Rb, Th, U and K), and depleted in HREEs and HFSEs(e.g., Nb, Ta and Ti). Combined with the petrological and geochemical features, the Meiguifeng and Arxan plutons show highly fractionated I-type granite affinity. Moreover, the Meiguifeng and Arxan plutons may share a common or similar magma source, and they were probably generated by partial melting of Neoproterozoic high-K basaltic crust. Meanwhile, plagioclase, K-feldspar, biotite, apatite, monazite, allanite and Ti-bearing phases fractionated from the magma during formation of Meiguifeng and Arxan plutons. Combined with spatial distribution and temporal evolution, we assume that the generation of Early Cretaceous Meiguifeng and Arxan plutons in Great Xing'an Range was closely related to the break-off of Mudanjiang oceanic plate. Furthermore, the Mudanjiang Ocean was probably a branch of Paleo-Pacific Ocean.     

我国主要内生铁矿碱交代机理探讨

Alkali-metasomatism and/or alkali-metasomatites are commonly recognized in different types of endogenic iron deposit,especially in the contact-metasomatic and porphyrite types in China.Alkali-metasomatites occur at the bottom of the mineralized alteration zone,in the marginal facies of the metallogenetic magmatic masses adiacent to iron ore bodies.They are approximately consistent with the attitudes of the ore bodies.As a result of alkali-metasomatism,great changes have taken place in the source rocks,producing distinet alteration zones with the color becoming lighter and lighter upwards and outwards.The alkali-metesomatic solntion is a kind of pneumato-hydrothermal solution rich in Cl,Si and alkalis.Its main components are alkalis and volatiles(dominantly H2O and Cl).The alkalis are closely related to magmatie source and its subsequent differentiation,while H2O is derived mainly from meteoric waters absorbed by the magma and Cl mainly from magma-mesitized gypsum-salt strata(including ground brines).In essence,alkali-metasomatism is the continuation of magmatic evolution and also an auto-metamorphism within the metallogenetic masses,i.e.,a complex ion-exchange reaction under certain physico-chemical conditions.The whole process of alkali-metasomatism can generally be divided into the Na^ -,Ca^2 -and Na^ -replacement stages.In the Ca^2 -replacement stage iron was largely separated from the source rocks.Alkali-metasomatism and the formation of iron ore deposits are two different forms of expression with respect to the same magmatic process,and both are controlled by and genetically related to magmatism,as is indicated by the facts that some of the oreforming materials are products of the de-iron process during alkali-metasomatism and that alkalis and volatiles have played an active role in the formation of iron and differential fusion of silicate melt.
