太平洋铁锰结核与富Co结壳的矿物地球化学比较研究

本文对采自东太平洋CC区的2块不同类型的铁锰结核及中太平洋麦哲伦海山的1块富Co结壳,采用XRD和ICP-MS(AES)等分析研究方法,进行了矿物地球化学的比较研究。结果表明:铁锰结核主要由水羟锰矿及钡镁锰矿组成,富Co结壳主要以水羟锰矿为主。与2块铁锰结核相比,富Co结壳总体上Cu、Al、Na含量较低而Co含量较高;两块不同类型的结核相比较,水成型铁锰结核的P、Ti含量较高,而成岩型铁锰结核的Cu、Ni含量较高。3块样品的稀土元素含量均较高,为(521.8~1 424.15)×10-6。REE分布型式总体呈平缓型,(La/Yb)N为0.72~1.01,并具程度不同的Ce、Eu正异常。经估算,富Co结壳的生长速率为1.92~4.24mm/Ma,水成型铁锰结核的生长速率为1.31~14.29 mm/Ma,成岩型铁锰结核的生长速率为11.24~76.32mm/Ma。并根据铁锰结核的化学成分变化推测了其生长环境的变化。

Comparison of the Mineral and Geochemistry Characteristics Between Co-Rich Crusts and Ferromanganese Nodules from the Pacific Ocean

Two different ferromanganese nodule samples were collected from CC area in the east pacific,one Co-rich crust sample was collected from Magellan seamounts in the west pacific.Various observations and different analytical techniques including electron microprobe analysis,X-ray diffraction(XRD) and ICP-MS(AES) were used in the study.According to the data,Vernadite and Todorokite are the main compositions of ferromanganese nodules,while the Co-rich crust mainly consists of Vernadite.Compared with each other,hy...
