Cenozoic Sedimentary Sequence in the Kumkal Basin, Xinjiang and New Evidence for the Late Quaternary Uplift of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

1. IntroductionThe Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau is an importantregion for the study of the global change andstructural evolution history). The in-depth knowledgeon its uplift process is the ke}' to understand theformation and development of temporary ph}'sicalenvironment of China or even East Asia. Therefore.a large quantity of researchers have given muchmore attention on this field (Burbank et al.. l982;Fang Xiaornin et al.. 1995f Ruddoman. ]997f AnZhisheng et al.. 1998).

GEOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF GRANITES AND ITS STRUCTURAL GENETIC ENVIRONMENT IN THE NANDAN-HECHI METALLOGENETIC BELT, NORTHWEST GUANGXI

The Nandan-Hechi metallogenetic belt is the most important tin-polymetallic producing district in China, and is the location of the Dachang super-large tin deposit. Based on the detailed field investigation and isotopic data, the stages of magmatic activity in the Nandan-Hechi metallogenetic belt have been lined out in this paper. Through the study about the geochemical characteristics of different granites, and by using ω(Al2O3)-ω(SiO2), ω(TFeO)/[ω(TFeO) ω(MgO)]-ω(SiO2), AFM, ACF and Rb-Yb Ta, Rb-Y Nb,Ta-Yb, Nb-Y discrimination diagrams in combination with regional geological setting analysis, the authors carried out analyses about the structural environment for the formation of the granites, and discussed the structural environment and dynamic setting for the large scale mineralization in this area. Our study indicates that the majority of the granites in Nandan-Hechi metallogenetic belt belong to the POG type,while the later stage alaskite belongs to the RRG CEUG type. The granites were formed at the stage of structural transformation from postorogenic phase to intraplate setting. But the major structural environment is characterized by steady regional extension. The formation age for the granites coincides with the time for this transformation, and this translation environment is favored for large-scale metallogenesis.

Purification and Refolding of a Novel β-Agarase from Inclusion Body of E. coli

1 Introduction Agarases produced by agar-degrading bacteria are classified into two groups based on their modes of action, namely, α-agarase and β-agarase. They hydrolyze α -1, 3 linkage and β-1, 4 linkage of agarose respectively (Duckworth and Turvey, 1969). Agarases are widely used in food, cosmetic and medical industries for the produc-tion of oligosaccharides from agar (Kobayashi et al., 1997; Yoshizawa et al., 1995). Neoagaro-oligo- saccharides produced by β-agarase inhibit the gro…

饮用水中三种痕量卤代甲烷的超声辐照处理

以饮用水中痕量氯仿、四氯化碳和一溴二氯甲烷3种卤代甲烷为目标化合物,采用超声辐照技术研究它们在不同条件下的去除效果.结果表明,3种卤代甲烷的超声降解遵循准一级反应动力学模型,超声辐照1 h后的去除效率与速率常数均按氯仿、一溴二氯甲烷、四氯化碳的顺序递增,分子的疏水性对3种卤代甲烷的降解效率有显著影响.超声强度越大,饮用水中的痕量卤代甲烷去除效果越好.超声辐照后自来水的pH值降低很小,进一步论证超声技术应用于饮用水处理的可行性.在敞口容器中,超声波辐照对水样中的卤代甲烷同时存在着降解与吹脱作用,根据超声空化理论,提出可能的超声吹脱机理.     

PETROGENETIC AND METALLOGENETIC AGES FOR THE PORPHYRY COPPER DEPOSITS IN THE GANGDISE METALLOGENIC BELT IN SOUTHERN TIBET

In the Gangdise area in the south of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, a set of calc-alkalinevolcanics-granitic intrusives, which were resulted from subduction of neo-Tethys Ocean at YurlungZangbo oceanic plate beneath Lahsa block in Cretaceous-Palaeogene and subsequentarc-continental collision, were exposed, together with a set of shoshonitic volcanics and hypabyssalporphyries developed in the later stage (Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources of TibetAutonomous Region, 1993; Li, 2002; Zhao et …
