长石微生物风化作用的研究现状与展望

矿物—微生物相互作用是地球表生环境下重要的地质作用类型,由于硅酸盐矿物的微生物风化影响着地球物质循环及地貌的形成和演变,尤其受到地质地球化学领域的关注。作为地球表层分布最广的硅酸盐矿物类型,长石在风化分解过程中,微生物通常会以流体模式、生物膜及真菌菌丝等方式与矿物表面发生作用。而长石在微生物作用下的分解机制主要包括质子交换和配体络合作用。微生物生理活动、微生物及代谢产物种类、生长条件,以及长石的种类、结构、成分及表面特征等均会影响其风化速率和风化程度。由于长石在硅酸盐矿物中的代表性,因此对长石—微生物作用模式、机理、影响因素等方面的研究,可以大大促进硅酸盐的微生物地质学的发展。

大洋中脊、洋岛、岛弧玄武岩中橄榄石的对比研究

在岩浆结晶演化过程中,橄榄石是最早结晶的矿物之一,其化学成分不仅受到母岩浆成分的控制,而且还受到岩浆的结晶分异、部分熔融程度、压力、岩浆混合作用以及橄榄石与残余岩浆相互作用等因素的影响。学术界基本的认识是,橄榄石的成分主要与源区、分离结晶作用以及岩浆演化程度有关,是鉴别玄武岩是否为原始岩浆的重要证据,根据橄榄石的Fo值可以恢复岩浆是富镁还是富铁的。之前的学术界很少认为橄榄石与其形成的构造环境有关。本文在对全球大洋中脊玄武岩（MORB）、洋岛玄武岩（OIB）、岛弧玄武岩（IAB）中橄榄石主量元素特征进行了研究和对比后发现,橄榄石也有判断构造环境的功能,尤其OIB 橄榄石在许多元素含量上与MORB 和IAB 的橄榄石不同,可以通过Ni、P、Mg、Fe、K 和Mn等元素之间的关系进行较好的区分。目前的情况是,OIB 与IAB 中的橄榄石在某些情况下也能够区分开,但MORB 与IAB 中的橄榄石很难区分,这是需要进一步研究的。全球全体数据研究表明,OIB 的橄榄石富Ni是一个很重要的现象,本文认为,MORB 和IAB 来源于亏损的上地幔,故其橄榄石的Fo值高;OIB来源于富集的下地幔,可能Fe-Ni地核对OIB橄榄石化学成分有比较明显的影响,故导致OIB的橄榄石贫Fo和富Ni。

内蒙古阿巴嘎旗地区新生代玄武岩基本特征及成因

内蒙古阿巴嘎旗及其以北地区新生代玄武岩是更新世中心式火山活动产生的大陆溢流玄武岩,该区玄武岩以高碱、富钛、贫铝为特征,属于钠质碱性玄武岩系列.源区是软流圈上地幔,玄武岩是部分熔融和分离结晶两种作用的结果.地幔橄榄岩部分熔融产生玄武质岩浆,部分原始地幔岩浆未经变异沿构造通道直接喷出地表形成碧玄岩、碱性橄榄玄武岩;部分原始地幔岩浆在上升过程中因停顿,原始地幔岩浆发生橄榄石分离结晶作用,部分橄榄石从岩浆中析出,最终岩浆喷出地表形成橄榄拉斑玄武岩.研究该区新生代玄武岩基本特征,探讨岩浆起源和岩石产生的构造环境对认识该区岩石圈地幔和软流圈性质具有重要意义.     

基于结构体的峨眉山玄武岩风化程度评价（Ⅰ）：风化结构体地球化学

峨眉山玄武岩属典型低渗透介质,其岩体风化是通过结构体风化实现的.风化玄武岩结构体具有一层或多层腐岩壳包围核心石形成的壳状结构;从表面向内,越靠近结构体几何中心,玄武岩风化程度越低.玄武岩风化可分为初期和中后期两个阶段,第一阶段仅存在二价铁向三价铁的转变而无明显组分流失与相对富集,第二阶段二价铁氧化与活动性组分(Si、Ca、MgNa、K)淋失和惰性组分(Al、Ti、ΣFe)相对富集同时发生.风化初期,随着风化程度的提高,FeO和Fe2O3相对含量此消彼长,但∑Fe相对含量变化不大;风化中后期,随着风化程度的提高,SiO2、CaO、MgO、Na2O、K2O、FeO相对含量单调降低,Al2O3、TiO2、Fe2O3、LOI单调升高.玄武岩风化过程中,FeO和Fe2O3相对含量对风化程度变化最为敏感.贯穿整个风化过程的含铁矿物氧化引起的铁种相对含量变化应成为峨眉山玄武岩风化程度评价需要考虑的关键因素.

Dissolution Rates of Upper Mantle Minerals in an Alkali Basalt Melt at High Pressure: An Experimental Study and Implications for Ultramafic Xenolith Survival

The dissolution rates of the major upper mantle minerals olivine,orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, spinel, and garnet have been determinedin an alkali basalt melt at superliquidus temperatures and 5,12, and 30 kb. At low pressure where olivine is the liquidusphase of the basalt, olivine has a slower dissolution rate thanclinopyroxene; however, at higher pressure where clinopyroxeneis the liquidus phase, clinopyroxene has a slower dissolutionrate than olivine. The relative rates of dissolution of olivineand clinopyroxene at each pressure are, therefore, governedby their relative stabilities in the melt and hence by the structureof the melt. As the degree of superheating above the liquidusincreases at each pressure, the dissolution rates of olivineand clinopyroxene converge, suggesting that the melt undergoestemperature-induced structural changes. Orthopyroxene has a dissolution rate similar to olivine at highpressure and similar to clinopyroxene at low pressure. Spinelhas the slowest dissolution rate at each pressure. Garnet dissolvesvery rapidly at 12 kb and at a comparable rate of olivine at30 kb. The dissolution rates determined in the experiments varyfrom 9.21 ? 10^–9cm s^–1 for spinel at 5 kbar and1250?C to 3.83 ? 10^–5cm s^–1 for garnet at 30 kband 1500?C. Textures produced during the dissolution experiments are relatedto mineral stability in the melt at each pressure and are independentof the degree of superheating. The mineral phases that are stableon or near the liquidus exhibit no reaction; whereas complexreaction textures and crystallization characterize dissolutionof minerals that are relatively unstable in the melt. Concentration profiles in the melt adjacent to the same crystalfor different experimental durations are identical, indicatingthat dissolution is time-independent and a steady-state process.However, cation diffusion coefficients calculated for single-componentoxides in the melt reveal that dissolution may not be completelycontrolled by diffusion of cations away from the crystal/meltinterface. The apparent diffusivities positively correlate withthe dissolution rate, which suggests that the stability of themineral is an important factor to consider when deriving diffusioncoefficients from these experiments. Other factors that maybe involved are multi-component effects and the nature of thediffusing species in the melt. A simple model has been constructed that predicts the survivalof ultramafic xenoliths in alkali basalt magmas as a functionof xenolith radius, magma ascent time and superheating. Theresults of the model suggest that the relative proportions ofperidotite and pyroxenite xenoliths brought to the surface inalkali basalts are generally representative of their proportionsas constituents of the upper mantle. Further experiments usingdifferent melt compositions are required to extend the model.     

The behaviour of Li and Mg isotopes during primary phase dissolution and secondary mineral formation in basalt

This study presents lithium (Li) and magnesium (Mg) isotope data from experiments designed to assess the effects of dissolution of primary phases and the formation of secondary minerals during the weathering of basalt. Basalt glass and olivine dissolution experiments were performed in mixed through-flow reactors under controlled equilibrium conditions, at low pH (2-4) in order to keep solutions undersaturated (i.e. far-from equilibrium) and inhibit the formation of secondary minerals. Combined dissolution-precipitation experiments were performed at high pH (10 and 11) increasing the saturation state of the solutions (moving the system closer to equilibrium) and thereby promoting the formation of secondary minerals.At conditions far from equilibrium saturation state modelling and solution stoichiometry suggest that little secondary mineral formation has occurred. This is supported by the similarity of the dissolution rates of basalt glass and olivine obtained here compared to those of previous experiments. The δ⁷Li isotope composition of the experimental solution is indistinguishable from that of the initial basalt glass or olivine indicating that little fractionation has occurred. In contrast, the same experimental solutions have light Mg isotope compositions relative to the primary phases, and the solution becomes progressively lighter with time. In the absence of any evidence for secondary mineral formation the most likely explanation for these light Mg isotope compositions is that there has been preferential loss of light Mg during primary phase dissolution.For the experiments undertaken at close to equilibrium conditions the results of saturation state modelling and changes in solution chemistry suggest that secondary mineral formation has occurred. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements of the reacted mineral products from these experiments confirm that the principal secondary phase that has formed is chrysotile. Lithium isotope ratios of the experimental fluid become increasingly heavy with time, consistent with previous experimental work and natural data indicating that ⁶Li is preferentially incorporated into secondary minerals, leaving the solution enriched in ⁷Li. The behaviour of Mg isotopes is different from that anticipated or observed in natural systems. Similar to the far from equilibrium experiments initially light Mg is lost during olivine dissolution, but with time the δ²⁶Mg value of the solution becomes increasingly heavy. This suggests either preferential loss of light, and then heavy Mg from olivine, or that the secondary phase preferentially incorporates light Mg from solution. Assuming that the secondary phase is chrysotile, a Mg-silicate, the sense of Mg fractionation is opposite to that previously associated with silicate soils and implies that the fractionation of Mg isotopes during silicate precipitation may be mineral specific. If secondary silicates do preferentially remove light Mg from solution then this could be a possible mechanism for the relatively heavy δ²⁶Mg value of seawater. This study highlights the utility of experimental studies to quantify the effects of natural weathering reactions on the Li and Mg geochemical cycles.     

An experimental study of the kinetics of lherzolite reactive dissolution with applications to melt channel formation

The kinetics of lherzolite dissolution in an alkali basalt and a basaltic andesite was examined experimentally at 1,300°C and 1 GPa using the dissolution couple method. Dissolution of lherzolite in basaltic liquids produces either the melt-bearing dunite–harzburgite–lherzolite (DHL) sequence or the melt-bearing harzburgite–lherzolite sequence depending on whether the reacting melt is or close to olivine saturation (alkali basalt) or olivine + orthopyroxene saturation (basaltic andesite). The dunite in the DHL sequence is pyroxene-free and the harzburgites in both sequences are clinopyroxene-free. The melt fraction and olivine grain size in the dunite are larger than those in the harzburgite. The olivine grain size in the dunite and harzburgite in the DHL sequence also increases as a function experimental run time. Across the sharp dunite–harzburgite and harzburgite–lherzolite interfaces, systematic compositional variations are observed in the reacting melt, interstitial melt, olivine, and to a lesser extent, pyroxenes as functions of distance and time. The systematic variations in lithology, grain size, mineral chemistry, and melt compositions are broadly similar to those observed in the mantle sections of ophiolites. The processes of lherzolite dissolution in basaltic liquids involve dissolution, precipitation, reprecipitation, and diffusive transport in the interstitial melts and surrounding minerals. Preferential dissolution of olivine and clinopyroxene and precipitation of orthopyroxene in the basaltic andesite produces the melt-bearing harzburgite–lherzolite sequence. Preferential dissolution of clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene and precipitation of olivine results in the melt-bearing DHL sequence. Preferential mineral dissolution can also affect the composition of the through-going melt in a dunite channel or harzburgite matrix. Systematic variations in melt fraction and mineral grain size in the peridotite sequences are likely to play an important role in the development of channelized or diffuse porous melt flow in the mantle.An erratum to this article can be found at     

An experimental study of crystalline basalt dissolution from 2 ? pH ? 11 and temperatures from 5 to 75 °C

Steady-state element release rates from crystalline basalt dissolution at far-from-equilibrium were measured at pH from 2 to 11 and temperatures from 5 to 75 °C in mixed-flow reactors. Steady-state Si and Ca release rates exhibit a U-shaped variation with pH where rates decrease with increasing pH at acid condition but increase with increasing pH at alkaline conditions. Silicon release rates from crystalline basalt are comparable to Si release rates from basaltic glass of the same chemical composition at low pH and temperatures ?25 °C but slower at alkaline pH and temperatures ?50 °C. In contrast, Mg and Fe release rates decrease continuously with increasing pH at all temperatures. This behaviour is interpreted to stem from the contrasting dissolution behaviours of the three major minerals comprising the basalt: plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine. Calcium is primarily present in plagioclase, which exhibits a U-shaped dissolution rate dependence on pH. In contrast, Mg and Fe are contained in pyroxene and olivine, minerals whose dissolution rates decrease monotonically with pH. As a result, crystalline basalt preferentially releases Mg and Fe relative to Ca at acidic conditions. The injection of acidic CO₂-charged fluids into crystalline basaltic terrain may, therefore, favour the formation of Mg and Fe carbonates rather than calcite. Element release rates estimated from the sum of the volume fraction normalized dissolution rates of plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine are within one order of magnitude of those measured in this study.     

The stability of ortho- and clinopyroxenes,olivine, and garnet in kimberlitic magma

It is generally accepted that the composition of ultrabasic nodules and their quantitative proportions do not significantly change during their transportation with kimberlitic magma to the Earth’s surface. We performed an experimental study of the relative stability of olivine, garnet, and pyroxenes in kimberlite melt at high pressure and temperatures (4 GPa, 1300–1500 °C). The study has shown that the loss in weight of minerals and, correspondingly, the rate of their dissolution in kimberlite melt differ considerably. The following sequence of the dissolution rates of minerals has been established: Cpx ≥ Opx > Gar > Ol. Pyroxenes are characterized by the most rapid dissolution, and olivine is the most stable mineral. The assumption is made that clinopyroxenites and websterites disintegrate more rapidly than dunites and lherzolites in kimberlitic magma.     

Electron beam analytical instruments and the determination of modes,spatial variations of minerals and textural features of rocks in polished section

Point counts based on X-ray intensities collected with an automated electron beam analytical instrument can be used to estimate the accurate modes required by modern physical-chemical modelling of rock-forming processes. In addition, the spatial distributions of mineral species and mineral compositions can be extracted from the coordinates of the point counting grid. Statistical tests of whether the mineral and porosity distributions are uniform can be performed by comparing the results from subareas of the polished section. The separate and composite contributions of the mineral phases to the texture and structure of the rock can be visually represented with mineral distribution maps. Qualitative differences in grain size can be recognized because the nonzero, finite electron beam diameter can detect grain boundaries. Spots on the minerals are identified by comparing the ranking of X-ray intensities with the ranking of intensities on a set of standards. For example, this method identified more than 88% of the spots on the surface of a polished section of an alkali olivine basalt. A small additional number of spots, approximately 1%, were identified because their spectra were dominated by the X-ray intensities of two characteristic elements. This method was particularly efficient in identifying phases with a small grain size and simple chemistry, e.g. apatite. The modal amounts of an alkali olivine basalt obtained with a microprobe are within approximately one standard deviation of the results obtained by point counting the same areas of the polished section under reflected and transmitted light if the minerals are major constituents and occur only in the groundmass. Accessory and phenocryst phases agree to within approximately three standard deviations.

CO2矿化封存条件下玄武岩溶解反应速率模型

实施CO2补集与地质封存是目前降低大气中CO2含量、减轻温室效应的有效途径。在所能利用的封存方式中,CO2矿化封存最为安全、稳定。在能实施矿化封存的岩石介质中,玄武岩封存潜力巨大,且岩石溶解反应过程是矿化沉淀过程的基础;因此,研究玄武岩溶解反应速率十分必要。在构成玄武岩的单一矿物与缓冲溶剂的反应速率模型的基础上,提出不同温度下玄武岩样品在超临界CO2水溶液中的溶解速率模型,并通过室内实验,利用采自山东省临朐县的玄武岩岩心样品,在45~100 ℃、10 MPa条件下,与超临界CO2－纯水反应,并运用最小二乘法确定模型中相关参数。同时利用57 ℃、72 ℃、92 ℃ 3个温度下的模型计算值与实验值对模型进行验证,结果证明了模型的准确性和可靠性,研究结果可直接应用于CO2地质封存条件下玄武岩溶解速率的计算。

Multisite surface reaction versus transport control during the hydrolysis of a complex oxide

Dissolution experiments of a tholeiite basalt glass carried out at different pH and T (up to 300°C) using a rotatingdisc apparatus show that, depending on pH and T, dissolution can be controlled by one of the following steps: (1) surface reaction; (2) transport of reactants in solution; and (3) mixed reaction. The activation energies of these different processes were found to be 60, 9 and 15–50 kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. Taking account of these results, it appears likely that surface reactions are not rate limiting for the hydrolysis of most crystalline silicate minerals in hydrothermal and metamorphic processes, and that caution should be exercised when predicting rate of reactions at high temperatures solely on the basis of activation energies measured at low temperatures.

Comparison of experimental and theoretical potentiometric titrations of the basalt glass and its constituent oxides indicates that the adsorption of H⁺ and OH⁻ ions at the basalt surface is metal cation specific and that the net adsorption can be predicted from the sole knowledge of the acidity constants of the network-forming constituent oxides. We found that in the acidic pH region dissolution is promoted by the adsorption of H⁺ on al and Fe surface sites while in the basic region, dissolution is promoted by the adsorption of OH⁻ on Si sites. The combination of the two distinct types of surface sites, Al and Fe on the one hand, and Si on the other hand, results in a dissolution rate minimum at a pH-value between the pH_zpc of the two groups of oxide components. Linear regressions with a slope n=3.8 are observed both in acid and alkaline solutions in logarithmic plots of the rate of dissolution vs. the surface charge. The value of n, which represents the number of protonation or hydroxylation steps prior to metal detachment, has been found equal to the mean valence of the network-forming metals.

Combining concepts of surface coordination chemistry with transition state theory afforded characterisation of the activated complexes involved in basalt dissolution processes. From the values obtained for the thermodynamic properties of activation for basalt dissolution it is assumed that the activated complexes formed during the H₂O-promoted dissolution of the basalt glass are more tightly bonded than those formed during H⁺- or OH⁻-promoted dissolution.
