Computer modelling of hydrogen defects in the clinopyroxenes diopside and jadeite

Atomistic computer simulation techniques have been employed to model mechanisms of hydrogen incorporation in the clinopyroxenes diopside and jadeite. Calculation of solution reaction energies for the pure phases indicates that hydrogen is most easily incorporated via the formation of [V_Si(OH)₄] ^x hydrogarnet type defects. When components of the two phases are mixed, then solution energies can become exothermic. The substitution of Al for Si in diopside and of Mg or Ca for Al in jadeite, provides favourable routes for hydrogen incorporation, with exothermic values of solution energy. Thus the amount of water present in these minerals in the Earth’s upper mantle will vary with composition. Simulation of IR frequencies associated with O–H stretching at specific defect clusters has also been carried out. An analysis of hydrogen–oxygen bond lengths gives good agreement, although comparison of experimental and calculated IR frequencies are problematic. This is partly due to the complexity of experimental spectra, but may also be due in part to deficiencies in the ability of the model to accurately describe the O–H stretching frequency.     

Metallogenic characteristics of the Wushan intrusive massive sulphide deposit, Jiangxi Province

The metallogenic characteristics of the Wushan deposit are discussed based on its regional geology, mine geology, mineralization temperature and stable isotopic compositions. The deposit is closely related to granodiorite both spatially and genetically, thus belonging to intrusive massive sulphidr deposits, which art. different in metallogenic features from that of the volcanogenic massive sulphidr deposits.     

挪威某些铜镍矿石中单斜磁黄铁矿出溶体的退火和粗化

在挪威某些正岩浆铜镍矿床的矿石中，六万磁黄铁矿基质内的单斜磁黄铁矿叶片是高温时形成的磁黄铁矿固溶体在降温过程中出溶的产物。出溶叶片宽度和间距的加大、叶片的带状分布、楔形尖端、箱状扭曲和复杂叶片等结构，表明出溶产物在不高于单斜-六方转变温度（254℃）的条件下发生过显著的退火和粗化。重结晶的六方磁黄铁矿基质中所保存的单斜变种甚少，表明变质作用所引起的矿石重结晶，可使磁黄铁矿吸收其中的单斜出溶体而发生均匀化。     

Implications of ozone depletion for surface-water photochemistry: Sensitivity of clear lakes

Increased ultraviolet-B radiation (UV-B) in aquatic ecosystems brought about by stratospheric ozone depletion may result in increased formation rates of photochemical reaction products in the surface waters of aquatic ecosystems. In this study, the potential impact of increases in lower wave-length radiation on the formation of hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and singlet oxygen (¹O₂) was modelled for lakes over a range of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations. The impact of increased UV-B radiation on the production of carbon monoxide (CO) was also calculated for two humic stained systems. The relative increases of H₂O₂ and¹O₂ production were greater in the clear lakes (70% increase in photochemical reaction rates near the surface) than the coloured systems (25%). Production of CO in the study sites also increased under depleted ozone conditions implying increased DOC losses to the overlying atmosphere.     

辉锑锡铅矿的穆斯堡尔谱及其晶体化学研究

辉锑锡铅矿是结构复杂而尚未确定,以及晶体化学尚有争议的一种稀有矿物。X射线衍射结果表明其结构是由假四方亚层(称T层)和假六方亚层(称H层)穿插组成的层状结构。T层的化学成分具有MeS形式,H层则具有MeS_2形式。本文通过广西大厂的辉锑锡铅矿的穆斯堡尔谱研究,确定了矿物中Sn的大部分为Sn~(4+),而Sn~(2+)只占较少的部分;Fe中含有Fe~(3+)和Fe~(3+)。它们在T层和H层中的分布为Sn~(2+)(T)占5.6%,Sn~(4+)(T)占25.9%,Sn~(4+)(H)占68.5%,Fe~(2+)(T)占59.5%,Fe~(3+)(H)占40.5%。从Sn、Fe的穆斯堡尔谱参数还可看出H层的共价性比T层的强。     

Discharge of H2 from the Atotsugawa and Ushikubi Faults,Japan, and its relation to earthquakes

The concentration of H₂ in soil gases has been measured weekly at five stations on the Atotsugawa and Ushikubi faults in northern central Main Island, Japan, since 1981 in search of possible relationship with earthquakes. The observed H₂ concentration varies from lower than 1 ppm to 7.8% in time and place. When a large earthquake (M: 7.7, epicenter distance: 486 km) occurred on 26 May 1983, an outstanding discharge of H₂ was observed at all five stations, preseismically at three of them, and coseismically at the other two. Simultaneous H₂ emission was also observed at some stations in seven other occasions. These periods of unusual H₂ discharge nearly coincided with occurrences of major earthquakes in Japan, but not of local minor earthquakes along the Atotsugawa fault. This fault, being a deep fracture zone, may be sensitive to large-scale crustal stress changes which incidentally cause the major earthquakes. Increased H₂ may be produced by rock fracture caused by the increased stresses on the fault and by the earthquakes themselves. Local minor earthquakes along Atotsugawa fault with magnitude lower than 3 may be unable to cause sufficient rock fracture to produce significant H₂.     

再论大陆地壳断裂拗陷带中的华南型块状硫化物矿床

华南海西-印支断裂拗陷带中的块状硫化物矿床(MSD)主要产于晚古生代海侵岩系底部附近碎屑岩向碳酸盐地层的过渡部位，含矿岩系中伴有少量双峰式火山岩和大量喷流岩，矿床中最基本的矿物共生关系是变质反应关系，金属元素和矿物相的分布往往显示地层学垂直分带和侧向分带，这种分带是同生沉积-成岩、活化转移和后期改造叠加等因素综合作用的产物。层状矿体下盘可以存在着代表海底热液通道的脉状、角砾状和浸染状矿化，与之伴生的硅化、绢云母化和钾长石化等蚀变反映了大陆地壳及其沉积物的富硅、富钾特征。与块状硫化物呈相变关系的层状铁锰矿床下方可存在脉状铅锌和金矿床。南岭地区的断裂拗陷带形成于后加里东大陆内部，而长江中下游则处于向被动陆缘演化的环境。两个地区晚古生代MSD在成分和成矿特征等方面的一系列差异，反映了成矿时基底陆壳成熟度的差异，而钨和锡则是成熟陆壳上MSD的特征元素。与国外苏利文型明显不同的是，华南地区矿床除了与确定无疑的火山岩伴生外，所含有用金属更加丰富多彩，并且往往受到后期花岗岩类岩浆及其热液的改造和叠加，因此可称之为华南型矿床。并以此代表大陆地壳上MSD的成矿特征。

Biogeochemical Prospecting of Sulphide Minerals in Winder Valley, Balochistan, Pakistan

Abstract: The Mor Range is mountainous terrain in southern Balochistan dominantly occupied by exposures of rocks of the Ferozabad Group which is comprised of Lower‐Middle Jurassic carbonates and siliciclastics. This group contains syngenetic and epigenetic Zn–Pb–Ba mineralization classified as Stratiform Sediment‐Hosted (SSH) and Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) deposits. Three important flora of the Saharo–Sindian, phytogeographical region of Pakistan, namely Tamarix aphyl–la, Salvadora oleoides and Acacia arabica have been studied as a mineralization prospecting tool. Samples of these species were collected from Winder Valley adjoining the Mor Range to prospect for new areas of mineralization, besides the known sulphide deposits. This study revealed the Draber, Thorar, Raj, Mithi and Kanrach localities as new prospect. Quantitative estimation of biophile elements (Zn–Cu–Pb) from the three species was made. A number of new Zn, Cu and Pb anomalies were distinguished in the area. The variation in the constituents of these species from different localities possibly varies with nature and distance from bedrock, mobility, climate, average abundance in the plant ash and exclusion mechanism of the flora. Acacia arabica with deep penetrating roots shows the best results and could be used to delineate new horizons of mineralization. In these species Zn and Cu are relatively concentrated whereas Pb shows limited enrichment. Lead therefore is the element best suited for pinpointing the mineralization owing to its relatively less mobile character. Relationships among Zn–Cu–Pb have been established using scattergrams and triangular variation diagram, which also demonstrate their genetic affiliation. Statistical analyses, such as determination of mean, mode, median, standard deviation, and coefficient of correlation, were also made to improve the raw geochemical data. These biogeochemical methods appear to be suitable in arid climate of Balochistan, if proper attention is paid to species selection.

介绍了前人提出并被广泛应用的瑞利分馏模型,指出了其优缺点。针对其不足,在作了一定的假定和简化的前提下,基于瑞利分馏原理和水力学基本定律分别推导了:①静止水体的氢氧稳定同位素组成随时间变化的微分方程模型,揭示了静止水体的同位素组成与时间、分馏系数和蒸发率之间的关系;②河道中运动水体的同位素组成随时间和空间变化的微分方程模型,导出了河道运动水体中稳定同位素组成与分馏系数、流速、流量、蒸发率之间的定量关系。最后通过数学推导论述了上述各模型之间的内在联系。上述模型的建立为定量计算和精确模拟运动水体中氢氧稳定同位素组成的变化提供了确定性的数学基础,也为更客观、更充分的解译水的稳定同位素数据提供了帮助。
