华南中生代花岗岩型、火山岩型、外接触带型铀矿找矿思路(Ⅱ)

笔者认为,对华南中生代富大铀矿成矿背景的研究要强调壳幔交换的深部作用,强调构造体制变革对成矿的制约,以及两条火山岩带和一个岩浆活动区的成矿地位.构造研究中要引进伸展构造理论,研究盆岭构造、热隆构造及与变质核杂岩构造配套的常见构造型式,研究盆岭耦合特点.成矿模式要考虑岩浆定位部位深浅及形成构造环境差异、地化环境差异,要探索大型、超大型铀矿形成的岩浆定位部位与层圈构造、地壳韧脆性构造转换面、地球化学转换面的耦合条件.     

新疆北部阿尔泰地区库尔提蛇绿岩：古弧后盆地系统的产物

位于新疆北部富蕴县库尔提一带的晚古生代变质玄武岩和辉长岩系含有似岛弧火山岩（arc-like)和似洋中脊玄武岩（MORB－like)成分的两种组分，岩石以出现不同程度的LREE亏损和Nb、Ta等元素的负异常为特征，在成分上非常相似于现代弧后盆地（Mariana和Okinawa弧后盆地）的玄武岩。我们厘定这套变质的镁铁质火成岩为弧后盆地蛇绿岩，它们很可能代表了晚古生代古亚洲洋北侧的一个洋内岛弧的弧后盆地系统，表明晚古生代早期新疆北部地区处于与古亚洲洋俯冲有关的岛弧环境，该古洋在晚石炭世－二叠纪消减消失后，两侧西伯利亚和哈萨克－准噶尔板块才开始碰撞和造山。     

表生水条件下毒砂溶解作用动力学实验研究

毒砂氧化溶解和释放的砷将对周围水体造成污染.本文用混合流流动反应器研究了毒砂在温度为15、25、35和45℃的FeCl3酸性地表水作用下的氧化溶解过程.结果显示在温度为15～35℃内,毒砂的氧化随FeCl3溶液浓度增加和反应温度升高而加速,而45℃时毒砂的反应速率反而降低;毒砂在与氧化剂FeCl3酸性溶液(浓度小于1×10-4 mol·

Delineation of sulphide ore-zones by borehole radar tomography at Hellyer Mine, Australia

Velocity and absorption tomograms are the two most common forms of presentation of radar tomographic data. However, mining personnel, geophysicists included, are often unfamiliar with radar velocity and absorption. In this paper, general formulae are introduced, relating velocity and attenuation coefficient to conductivity and dielectric constant. The formulae are valid for lossy media as well as high-resistivity materials. The transformation of velocity and absorption to conductivity and dielectric constant is illustrated via application of the formulae to radar tomograms from the Hellyer zinc–lead–silver mine, Tasmania, Australia. The resulting conductivity and dielectric constant tomograms constructed at Hellyer demonstrated the potential of radar tomography to delineate sulphide ore zones.     

A note on magnetic modelling with remanence

The general problem of magnetic modelling involves accounting for the effect of both remanent magnetization and the application of an external magnetic field. However, as far as the disturbing field of a magnetic body in a magnetic environment is concerned, there is an equivalence between the effects of these two causations that allows the remanence to be represented in terms of an equivalent primary magnetic H field. Moreover, due to the linearity of the magnetic field in terms of its causations, the general modelling problem involving an applied magnetic field in the presence of remanence can be simply and more efficiently dealt with in terms of an equivalent primary field acting in the absence of any remanent magnetization.     

Phase relations of a serpentine composition between 5 and 14 GPa: significance of clinohumite and phase E as water carriers into the transition zone

Run products from high pressure experiments at 800-1,200 °C and 5-14 GPa (corresponding to depths of 150 to 420 km) on a serpentine bulk composition [close to Mg₃Si₂O₅(OH)₄] were analysed by optical microscopy, micro-Raman spectroscopy and electron microprobe. All charges exhibit strong chemical zoning. Fluid, melt and hydrous solids were mostly concentrated at the top, bottom and along the wall of the capsules. The central part of the charge was devoid of H₂O. Both fluid and hydrous magnesian phases exhibit a Mg/Si ratio higher than forsterite. In contrast, the centre of the capsule was enriched in SiO₂. The observed zoning can neither be explained by gravitational settling nor by a thermal gradient alone. Most likely the fluid was separated from the solids by surface forces and thereby established the chemical gradient by preferentially dissolving MgO. If strong chemical zoning is taken into account, the occurrence of more phases than allowed by the phase rule can be explained by separating the bulk into several domains of different bulk compositions. Results indicate that small amounts of F increase the stability field of clinohumite, Mg₉Si₄O₁₆(OH,F)₂, compared to OH-clinohumite in pure MSH previously reported. Clinohumite coexists with enstatite up to 975 °C at 5 GPa, and up to 1,100 °C at 12 GPa. At 14 GPa (close to the !/#-Mg₂SiO₄ transition) phase E becomes the most important water carrier. The new results indicate that clinohumite could be an important mantle mineral for transporting water into the Earth's transition zone due to its high thermal stability compared to other important water carriers such as serpentine and phase A.
