Interaction of copper with fatty acids in Soxhlet extraction and its influence

Treatment with metallic copper for the removal of elemental sulfur from bitumen extracted from sedimentary rocks or petroleum is the most widely used method. Little attention has been paid, however, to its disadvantages. It was observed that copper can interact with some polar organic substances during conventional sulfur removal, which can strongly influence the quantitative and qualitative determination of bitumen, as has been confirmed by interaction of long-chain fatty acids with copper. The copper soap generated was analyzed by element analysis, inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry （ICP-OES）, thermal analysis （TG-DSC） and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy （FFIR）. Mechanism of the interaction was investigated and elucidated. Our experimental results would necessitate improvement of the present method for sulfur removal and/or a search for a new one.     

Distribution Characteristics of Sulfur and the Main Harmful Trace Elements in China’s Coal

To promote the rational development and use of clean coal resources in China, data on the regional and age distribution of sulfur, arsenic and other harmful elements in Chinese coal was broadly collected, tested for content, and analyzed. Coal in northwestern China is characterized by low to extremely low levels of sulfur; the coal of the Taiyuan Formation in northern China mainly has high-sulfur content; that of the Shanxi Formation is mainly characterized by low sulfur coal; and the Late Permian coal in southern China has overall higher sulfur content; other regions have low sulfur coal. The average content of harmful trace elements in the bulk of China＇s coal is similar to the corresponding content in the coal of the North America and the rest of the world, whereas the content of various elements （Hg, Sb and Se） is different in magnitude to the corresponding percentage in the crust. The average content of the elements Cr, Se, Co, Be, U, Br in Late Permian coal in S China ranks first in the country whereas the average content of Hg and CI in the coals of Late Carboniferous to Early Permian age in N China are the highest. The average content of Mn in Early and Middle Jurassic coal is higher in NW China. The high content of harmful elements in some coal should cause particular concern both in the development and utilization of coal.     

An Experimental Calibration on the Sphalerite-Galena Sulfur Isotope Geothermometer

A new experimental calibration was undertaken in this study to get a more reliable sphalerite-galena sulfur isotope geothermometer. The experimental conditions selected in study were very similar to those of natural hydrothermal solution. The high-precision SF6 method was used in sulfur isotope analyses. The obtained calibration curve for sulfur isotope fractionation between sphalerite and galena can be expressed with the equation 10001nαSp-Gn= 0.74×106T-2+0.08.

原始黄铁矿莓体的发现与研究

用扫描电子显微镜研究晋东南太原组下部黄铁矿矿石和煤岩中的黄铁矿,发现许多原始莓体保留着形成时的特征。这些特征反映出原始莓体大多数为硫磺细菌化石,少数由胶体形成。本文对莓体的成因、特征、形成环境等进行了论述。     

从分子有机地球化学观点探讨我国某大型自然硫矿床的成因

深入研究了与朱家庄自然硫矿共生之硫磺沥青的生物标志物组成,检出了两个新化合物--GX与C₃₃含硫藿烷。分子有机地化特征表明,硫的再聚集与成岩早期阶段膏盐相生油岩相中有机质的还原作用和细菌活动有关,自然硫矿可能属成岩之层控矿床。     

我国硫资源供需状况及需求预测

全球硫资源特征及国内硫资源供需现状表明,国内硫资源贫乏,硫资源生产与消费逐年增加,尤其磷肥生产对硫资源的需求越来越迫切,预计到2020~2025年磷肥用硫量将达到峰值1620万t左右,不包括出口磷肥耗硫量。因此,加强硫资源的综合利用、加大硫铁矿找矿及矿山设计是非常有必要的。     

滇东北镇雄硫磺矿区环境地质问题及其对策与意义

硫磺渣是硫磺矿区主要的矿业固废,其随意堆放可产生一系列的环境地质问题,并对山水林田湖草等自然资源、环境及人的健康构成较大危害。滇东北地区长期以硫铁矿为原料、以煤炭为燃料,土法炼硫生产硫磺,导致巨量硫磺渣堆积,产生了严重的环境地质问题。本文针对该地区镇雄县硫磺矿区,调查了小硫磺生产形成硫磺渣的规模和特征,梳理了该硫磺矿区主要环境地质问题及其对当地生态环境的影响,认为目前镇雄硫磺矿区存在的环境污染、自然资源破坏及可能形成的矿渣性泥石流等环境地质现状与过去40多年的小硫磺生产密切相关。基于以上认识,强调应结合矿业固废无害化、减量化和资源化技术政策,从资源回收利用、生态环境恢复、地质灾害防治和文化遗产保护方面探讨和提出镇雄硫磺矿区矿渣治理和生态修复的新理念和新对策。

山西天脊集团高平化工有限公司（以下简称高平公司）设计生产规模为年产合成氨360kt、甲醇40kt和大颗粒尿素600kt,是国内为数不多的无半脱合成氨工艺设计。近年来,高平公司原料压缩机段间冷却器、四段出口管线和变换气气换热器堵塞严重,形成较高的管道阻力,造成原料压缩机系统气阀更换频繁,不仅增加了动力消耗,而且增加了维修费用,严重影响了系统的稳定运行。     

吐哈盆地硫磺山铜多金属矿床表生黄钾铁矾~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar定年及对风化、地貌演化及古气候的启示

黄钾铁矾是干旱—半干旱地区硫化物矿床氧化带中一种常见表生含钾硫酸盐矿物,对其进行~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar年代学研究,不仅可以直接限定硫化物矿床次生富集的时间,还可以为区域地貌形成演化和古气候演变等重大地质事件提供关键的年代学信息。本文对中国新疆吐哈盆地硫磺山铜多金属矿床氧化带中三个表生黄钾铁矾样品进行了~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar定年,第一次获得了始新世的风化矿物的年龄。结合已发表的年龄数据显示:在吐哈盆地,海拔较高的矿床氧化带剖面(如硫磺山矿床)记录了基岩的持续和较完整的区域风化事件,这些老的风化年龄的存在证明了剥蚀并不是均匀的,即其地貌演化遵循的是斜坡后退模型。对于吐哈盆地的古气候,这些表生硫酸盐的年龄表明:始新世以来吐哈盆地曾多次出现过有利于化学风化和硫化物矿床次生富集的干旱—半干旱气候,且主要集中在以下几个时期:27.7~23.3 Ma、16.4~14.7 Ma、11~7.8 Ma,之后气候开始向极端干旱气候转变,4.1~3.3 Ma之后吐哈盆地可能已经流行大规模的极端干旱气候。
