红土镍矿样品前处理方法和分析测定技术研究进展

随着常规镍来源的硫化镍矿资源的日益枯竭,可直接生产氧化镍、镍锍和镍铁等产品的红土镍矿倍受关注。对于红土镍矿中主量、次量、痕量元素的检测,相同的检测项目存在多种测试方法,且部分相同原理的测试方法存在细节上的差异,使得检测者选择合适的检测方法变得困难。本文综述了近年来红土镍矿中24种元素测定的样品前处理方式及分析技术研究进展。样品前处理方式依据目标元素及后续的分析方法进行选择,其中酸溶法和碱熔法用途最广。酸溶法引入的盐分少,操作简单,但是分解过程中易导致挥发元素As、Sb、Bi、Hg的损失,Cr易随高氯酸冒烟损失。碱熔法分解能力强,适合分析Cr、Si、全铁等项目,但会引入大量的盐类和因坩埚材料损耗而带入其他杂质,给后续分析带来困难。红土镍矿的分析技术依据实验室条件及目标元素的性质和浓度进行选择。电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法(ICP-AES)是主量、次量元素的主要分析方法,适合于分析含量为10-5~30%级别的金属元素;X射线荧光光谱法主要用于分析含量为10-3~1级别的元素,尤其适合于测定Al、Si、Ti、V和P,由于该方法的准确性依赖于一套高质量的标准样品,故更适合炉前检测或检测大批红土镍矿样品。电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)最适合于分析10-4含量以下的重元素,特别是稀土和贵金属元素。原子吸收光谱法(AAS)适合于分析10-4~10-2级别的Ca、Mg、Ni、Co、Zn、Cr、Mn等低沸点、易原子化元素。分光光度法主要用于分析Ni和P。原子荧光光谱法(AFS)主要用于分析As、Bi、Sb等易形成气态氢化物的元素。容量法主要用于分析Al、Fe、Mg和Si O2等主含量元素。尽管AAS、分光光度法、AFS法和容量法检测周期长,但所用仪器为实验室常规配置,可满足缺乏相应大型仪器实验室的日常检测。本文认为,针对各种检测方法的适用性及存在问题,应从开发微波消解法、固体进样直接测汞法、ICP-MS法以及Cr与其他元素同时分析的快速分析方法等方面开展研究,建立灵敏、准确的检测方法,从而更好地服务于红土镍矿的贸易、检验和综合利用。     

应用FTIR-XRD-XRF分析测试技术研究新型仿制绿松石的矿物学特征

近年来绿松石及其仿制品的鉴定工作较多局限于应用傅里叶变换红外光谱对仿制品进行简单的筛选,前人报道的仿制绿松石的矿物组成主要为单一的矿物相(如异极矿、三水铝石、磷铝石、羟硅硼钙石、菱镁矿等)。本文应用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X射线粉晶衍射(XRD)与X射线荧光光谱(XRF)对当前珠宝市场上几种新型仿制绿松石进行了初步分类,并对不同类别的仿制绿松石的具体矿物组成、物相及晶型特征作了对比研究。结果表明,这些新型仿制绿松石可分为三大类:一类主要由硅酸盐(斜硅钙石)与碳酸盐(方解石)两种矿物组成;另一类为白云石与方解石两种碳酸盐矿物的混合相;第三类以硅酸盐类为主要矿物,并含有钡长石、辉石与石英。显然,新型仿制绿松石的矿物组成明显相异于传统仿制品,可见仿制绿松石的矿物组成日趋多样性、复杂化,该现状必然对新型仿制样品的物相鉴定提出了更高的要求。     

新疆西准噶尔苏云河钼矿床含矿岩体地球化学和年代学

苏云河钼矿床位于新疆西准噶尔巴尔鲁克山西段,容矿岩石为二长花岗岩和二长花岗斑岩。这些花岗岩具有类似的地球化学特征:富集Rb、Th、U和LREE,相对亏损Ba、P、Ti,属于高钾钙碱性I型花岗岩系列,局部经历过强烈的分离结晶作用。LA-ICPMS锆石U-Pb定年结果显示苏云河钼矿区的成岩年龄为309.3~310.2 Ma,这表明与成矿有关的岩浆活动发生于晚石炭世。黑云母的Ti温度计表明Ⅰ号和Ⅲ号岩体的结晶温度相近,为695~728℃;而Ⅱ号岩体的结晶温度较低,为642~668℃。同时根据角闪石-斜长石压力计获得Ⅰ号和Ⅲ号岩体的结晶压力为(3.0~3.9)×108Pa。综合地球化学研究表明,苏云河钼矿区3个岩体均形成于岛弧环境。此外,以苏云河钼矿床为代表的巴尔鲁克山成矿带与哈萨克斯坦境内的巴尔喀什成矿带在岩石地球化学、成岩成矿时代等方面具有许多类似的特点,表明巴尔鲁克山成矿带可能是巴尔喀什成矿带在中国境内的延伸。     

“三江”北段沱沱河地区的成矿规律与找矿方向

"三江"成矿带的北段沱沱河地区是中国首批整装勘查区之一,区域成矿规律和找矿方向亟待了解。研究表明,区内主要发育3期成矿事件,形成5种主要矿床类型。早期成矿发生在晚二叠世至早三叠世,为龙木错-双湖洋向北俯冲下的弧间或弧后盆地环境,形成开心岭火山岩容矿块状Fe(-Cu-Zn)矿床(VMS型);第二期成矿作用发生于新生代40~25 Ma期间,对应印-亚大陆晚碰撞环境,形成那日尼亚与钾质火山岩岩浆活动有关的脉状PbZn矿床、扎日根玢岩型铁矿床及扎拉夏格涌与碱性斑岩有关的热液脉状Pb-Zn矿床;第三期矿化出现在新生代23Ma以来,对应印-亚大陆后碰撞环境,形成以茶曲帕查为代表的密西西比河谷型(MVT)Pb-Zn矿床。综合分析表明,区内应优先寻找MVT型矿床,在区域逆冲带的前锋带中,老于新生代的碳酸盐岩内、碳酸盐岩与碎屑岩地层界面附近是找矿的主要方向;晚二叠世至早三叠世及晚三叠世地层中双峰式火山岩建造是寻找VMS矿床的有利部位;新生代闪长玢岩分布区的正磁异常、Cu化探异常、发育绿帘石和绿泥石化的地区有利于寻找玢岩型铁矿床;而热液脉状Pb-Zn矿床的成矿潜力有限。

An Analytical Solution for Mechanical Responses Induced by Temperature and Air Pressure in a Lined Rock Cavern for Underground Compressed Air Energy Storage

Mechanical responses induced by temperature and air pressure significantly affect the stability and durability of underground compressed air energy storage (CAES) in a lined rock cavern. An analytical solution for evaluating such responses is, thus, proposed in this paper. The lined cavern of interest consists of three layers, namely, a sealing layer, a concrete lining and the host rock. Governing equations for cavern temperature and air pressure, which involve heat transfer between the air and surrounding layers, are established first. Then, Laplace transform and superposition principle are applied to obtain the temperature around the lined cavern and the air pressure during the operational period. Afterwards, a thermo-elastic axisymmetrical model is used to analytically determine the stress and displacement variations induced by temperature and air pressure. The developments of temperature, displacement and stress during a typical operational cycle are discussed on the basis of the proposed approach. The approach is subsequently verified with a coupled compressed air and thermo-mechanical numerical simulation and by a previous study on temperature. Finally, the influence of temperature on total stress and displacement and the impact of the heat transfer coefficient are discussed. This paper shows that the temperature sharply fluctuates only on the sealing layer and the concrete lining. The resulting tensile hoop stresses on the sealing layer and concrete lining are considerably large in comparison with the initial air pressure. Moreover, temperature has a non-negligible effect on the lined cavern for underground compressed air storage. Meanwhile, temperature has a greater effect on hoop and longitudinal stress than on radial stress and displacement. In addition, the heat transfer coefficient affects the cavern stress to a higher degree than the displacement.     

Spalling Experiments on Large Hard Rock Specimens

Specimens of coarse-grained Äspö diorite were axially compressed to observe stress-induced spalling. The specimens had a novel design characterized by two manufactured large radius notches on opposite sides. The tangential stress occurring in the notches aimed to represent the tangential loading around a circular opening. Fracture stages were monitored by acoustic emission measurements. Rock chips were formed similar to those found in situ, which indicates a similar fracture process. Slabs were cut out from the specimens and impregnated using a fluorescent material to visualize the cracks. The cracks were subsequently examined by the naked eye and by means of microscopy images, from which fracture paths could be identified and related to different minerals and their crystallographic orientations. The microscopy analyses showed how the stress field and the microstructure interact. Parallel cracks were formed 2–4 mm below the surface, sub-parallel to the direction of the maximum principal stress. The crack initiation, the roles of minerals such as feldspar, biotite and quartz and their grain boundaries and crystallographic directions are thoroughly studied and discussed in this paper. Scale effects, which relate to the stress gradient and microstructure, are discussed.     

早古生代古亚洲洋俯冲作用:来自新疆哈尔里克侵入岩的锆石U-Pb年代学、岩石地球化学和Sr-Nd同位素证据

新疆哈尔里克造山带的形成时间(早古生代/晚古生代)及其构造属性(岛弧/弧后盆地)一直是有争议的问题。本文选择位于哈尔里克带内的奥尔达乌台克侵入体,对其成因及所揭示的地质意义进行了探讨。奥尔达乌台克岩体由一套成份连续的岩石组合构成,包括辉长岩、辉长闪长岩、闪长岩和花岗闪长岩。对闪长岩及其内部暗色包体进行的LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果显示两者同时形成于~450Ma,为晚奥陶世岩浆活动的产物。岩石学和地球化学证据反映奥尔达乌台克岩体普遍具有富H2O、高fO2的湿岩浆性质,富集LREE、Sr、Ba等大离子亲石元素(LILE)而亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素(HFSE),与典型的岛弧岩浆岩类似。高放射成因Nd(εNd(t)=+4.4~+5.9)和低初始Sr(0.7032~0.7044)同位素组成表明偏基性的岩浆很可能起源于年轻的俯冲带岩石圈地幔,生成的镁铁质岩浆一部分与壳源长英质熔体发生混合形成各类岩浆,另一部分则是经历演化后(分离结晶)直接添加到地壳中。因此,壳幔岩浆混合作用和幔源物质的直接加入是古亚洲洋俯冲阶段陆壳增生的两种主要方式。Sr-Nd同位素模拟排除了区内存在古老前寒武纪陆壳的可能,陆壳主体应该是年轻的古生代大洋岛弧和洋壳。哈尔里克早古生代岛弧的确立改变了该带是泥盆纪岛弧或弧后盆地的原有认识,将古亚洲洋俯冲作用的时间追溯至奥陶纪。     

西藏拉抗俄斑岩铜钼矿床辉钼矿Re-Os同位素测年及其地质意义

西藏冈底斯成矿带拉抗俄斑岩铜钼矿床位于西藏特提斯构造域拉萨地块东段中南部,是近年来青藏高原地质大调查项目评价的重点矿床之一。本文在钻孔地质编录的基础上,采用辉钼矿Re-Os同位素测年技术,对拉抗俄铜钼矿床中8件产于花岗闪长斑岩中的辉钼矿进行定年,获得了拉抗俄矿床辉钼矿成矿年龄,辉钼矿Re-Os模式年龄为(13.20±0.20)Ma~(13.64±0.21)Ma,加权平均值为(13.38±0.15)Ma,等时线年龄为(13.12±0.44)Ma,代表了拉抗俄斑岩铜钼矿床的成矿时代,成矿作用发生于中新世。辉钼矿中Re的含量为343.6×10-6~835.7×10-6,平均557.8×10-6,指示其成矿物质中有幔源物质加入。拉抗俄斑岩铜钼矿床形成于印度—亚洲大陆碰撞造山带碰撞过程的伸展背景,其成矿年龄与冈底斯斑岩铜矿带东段中亚带众多斑岩-矽卡岩成矿系统年龄基本一致(17~12 Ma),相对于同一矿集区的驱龙、甲玛、邦铺斑岩-矽卡岩型铜多金属矿的成矿年龄小2~3 Ma,但其形成受控于相同的成矿地球动力学背景。
