采取了皖北任楼煤矿太原组灰岩和灰岩水样品进行稀土元素测试分析,结果显示灰岩样品稀土总量较低,平均为36.947×10-6,灰岩样品稀土配分模式表现为轻稀土富集、重稀土亏损型;灰岩水样品稀土总量平均为0.052 6×10-6,灰岩水样品轻、重稀土均富集,轻、重稀土之间分异明显。对灰岩含水层水岩相互作用进行研究,结果表明:轻稀土表现稳定,重稀土分异明显,尤其在Y处有一个明显的峰值;Y元素与Ca元素呈正相关关系,相比石灰岩,灰岩水的Y/Ho、Y/Dy分异更为明显。研究认为,灰岩水中Y元素的峰值效应也可作为灰岩水源识别的依据。     

Rare earth elements in a sampled coal from the Pirin deposit,Bulgaria

Rare earth elements (La, Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Yb, and Lu) in a columnar section of the coal of the Pirin deposit, Bulgaria, have been determined by neutron activation analyses.The REE content in the coals is lower than the average REE content of shales from North America, Europe, and the Soviet Union. The REE abundances increase with the increasing ash content of the coals. The bottom of the seam is slightly enriched in REE, the trend being more pronounced in HREE (Tb, Yb, Lu). The REE content depends on the thickness of the coal layers: the thin coal layers are enriched in REE as compared to the thick ones.The chondrite-normalized distribution patterns are very uniform. They are characterized by a negative Eu anomaly whose mean value is 0.30 (varying in the individual samples from 0.21 to 0.49) and a positive Lu anomaly. It is supposed that the Eu anomaly is inherited from the source rocks.The shale-normalized distribution patterns show a distinct relative enrichment in HREE and a negative Eu anomaly. The relative enrichment in HREE is a specific feature of the REE geochemistry in the Pirin deposit. The LREE/HREE ratio is lower than that of composite shale; it increases with the increasing ash content of the coals and from the bottom to the top of the coal bed.REE are bound predominantly to the aluminosilicates of the mineral matter in the coals. All REE are positively correlated to the ash, Si, Al, Fe, and Na.The source of REE in coals is mainly the suspended terrigenous material. The specific enrichment of REE in the ash of low-ash coals is a result of the interaction between the dissolved REE and the products of disintegration and decay of organic substances, mainly the humic acids.     

Rare earth elements in modern coral sands: an environmental proxy

The concentration rare earth elements and Yttrium (REE + Y) were determined in coral sands from Kavaratti Island, Arabian Sea, India. Chondrite-normalized REE + Y patterns show: (1) high REE concentration particularly light REE (LREE) enrichment; (2) consistent negative Ce anomaly; (3) nearly chondritic Y/Ho ratios. All these features are consistent with the geochemistry of well oxygenated seawater with significant terrestrial contribution. The seawater composition of Nd/Yb ratio inferred from the coral record point to the dominance of LREE more than the heavy REE (HREE). The high terrestrial input rich in LREE and property of adsorption/scavenging processes of LREE than that of HREE may be the cause. Terrigenous contributions were detected on the basis of co-occurring trace element concentrations (Sc, Hf and Th) and Y/Ho ratio. Except for La, the REE distribution coefficients, KD(REE)s, are between 100 and 300. KDs are high comparing to the other elements in biogenic calcite which is attributed to detrital contamination during elemental incorporation. This study may not reflect original seawater chemistry but it can be a good proxy to indicate proximity of corals to terrigenous input sources.     

三峡地区陡山沱早期水体性质的稀土元素和锶同位素制约

通过分析三峡地区九龙湾剖面新元古代盖帽碳酸盐岩的稀土元素和锶同位素组成,对新元古代“雪球地球”事件结束后水体的性质提供了制约。盖帽碳酸盐岩的REE配分模式具有轻重稀土元素亏损的特征,存在轻微Y正异常以及较高的Y/Ho值,没有明显的La异常。这些特征与受淡水影响的陆缘盆地、湖泊等沉积环境相似,而不同于正常海水。这表明盖帽碳酸盐岩不是正常的海相沉积物,而是发育在淡水与海水混合环境中的沉积物。盖帽碳酸盐岩具有较高的87Sr/86Sr值,这是由于新元古代“雪球地球”事件结束后大量陆源风化物的输入引起的。因此,盖帽碳酸盐岩较高的87Sr/86Sr值不能代表当时全球海水信息,只能反映局部混合水体的信息。轻微的Ce负异常显示陡山沱组早期水体处于弱氧化状态。盖帽碳酸盐岩的REE和Sr同位素综合特征表明在新元古代“雪球地球”事件结束后,陡山沱组早期水体是携带大量陆源风化物的冰融水与海水混合的水体,而且此时的混合水体处于弱氧化状态。     

鄂尔多斯盆地北缘延安组2号煤层稀土元素异常原因及其地质意义

鄂尔多斯盆地北缘延安组2号煤层稀土元素的异常原因一直存在着争议,以2号煤发育较完整的榆林大海则煤矿为例,运用电感耦合等离子质谱（ICP-MS）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）等方法,分析煤及夹矸中稀土元素（REE）含量及其矿物学特征,并揭示稀土元素异常原因。结果显示:煤中总稀土元素（∑REE）含量为3.71~46.21 μg/g,轻稀土元素（LREE,La-Eu）比重稀土元素（HREE,Gd-Lu）更富集;稀土元素标准化配分模式图显示少数样品为Eu正异常;稀土元素含量较高的样品和拥有Eu正异常的样品主要分布在与夹矸距离较近的煤层中,表明煤中稀土元素分布受到了夹矸的影响;在夹矸中发现很多晶型较好的锆石、磷灰石、透长石及锐钛矿,这些矿物是在聚煤过程中接受火山物质的直接证据。综合认为,鄂尔多斯盆地延安组2号煤沉积期,盆地周缘存在一次火山活动,火山灰降落覆盖在泥炭沼泽之上,影响了聚煤作用,致使煤中稀土元素分布异常。研究结果解释了鄂尔多斯盆地北缘的煤中稀土元素异常原因,为研究区煤的加工利用方式提供参考。

采用电感耦合等离子体质谱(ICP-MS)方法对兰坪盆地古近系104件细碎屑岩样品进行了稀土元素及微量元素分析,结果显示∑LEE含量较高,轻稀土含量较富集、重稀土含量较亏损,显示出明显的"右倾"型配分模式。根据稀土元素和微量元素特征、w(Zr)-w(Th)、La-Th-Sc、Th-Sc-Zr/10等多种沉积构造背景判别图解及多种交叉分析方法,对兰坪盆地古近系细碎屑源岩构造背景进行了详细研究。利用La/Th-Hf和La/Yb-∑REE判别图解对兰坪盆地古近系源岩属性进行了分析,结果表明:兰坪盆地古近系碎屑源岩主要以上地壳长英质岩石为主,并混有少量基性岩,反映其物源区构造背景为早期为大陆岛弧构造背景,至晚期逐渐过渡为被动大陆边缘构造背景。     

塔里木盆地塔北隆起奥陶系-侏罗系泥岩稀土元素地球化学特征

分析了塔里木盆地塔北隆起奥陶系、三叠系和侏罗系泥岩的稀土元素丰度。不同时代泥岩都表现出轻稀土富集、重稀土含量均一和具有Eu负异常特征;但它们∑LREE/∑HREE、LaN/YbN、(La/Yb)UCC、Eu/Eu和Ce/Ce等参数则显示这些泥岩形成时的物源和环境有差别。奥陶纪时,研究区处于相对稳定的沉积环境,物源为成熟度高的大陆上地壳;二叠纪到三叠纪构造-火山活动强烈,部分沉积物来自火山岩的风化;侏罗纪塔北隆起区则进入稳定构造沉降阶段。这一差别对认识塔里木盆地及周边造山带形成演化研究有指示意义。     

贵州织金新华含稀土磷矿床稀土元素地球化学及生物成矿基本特征

对贵州织金新华含稀土磷矿床进行的稀土元素及微量元素分析结果表明，磷块岩中普遍富集稀土元素，稀土总量∑REE较高，并富集Y元素及La，Nd等轻稀土元素。LREE／HREE比值较高。含稀土磷块岩普遍具Ce负异常，显示其对源区的继承性。指示成磷环境处于氧化程度相对较高状态。稀土元素球粒陨石标准化模式曲线、北美页岩标准化模式曲线、Ce元素异常、LREE／HREE比值、微量元素特征及岩石矿物特征表明，织金新华含稀土磷矿床具以正常海相生物-化学沉积等为主伴有海相热水沉积混合成因的特征。在磷矿成矿过程中沉积物沉积时，活体生物及死亡残骸不同程度地摄取和富集了La，Nd，Ce等稀土元素、Y元素及其他微量元素，沉积在含磷层位，构成大量的含稀土、含生物碎屑白云质磷块岩。     

贵州大竹园大型铝土矿稀土元素地球化学特征及其意义

贵州大竹园大型铝土矿是中国近年来取得重要找矿进展的大型铝土矿之一。以采自大竹园矿区栗园向斜不同部位铝土矿、铝土岩和黏土岩的样品为研究对象,分析了这些样品的稀土元素含量（质量分数）特征及空间分布特征,研究了稀土元素含量与铝土矿质量及成矿过程的关系,最后就稀土元素对于成因和环境的指示意义进行了讨论。结果表明：铝土矿、铝土岩和黏土岩稀土元素总含量（不包括Y）分别为107.07×10-6、185.00×10-6和246.28×10-6,依次增高,说明铝土矿的成矿过程是一个稀土元素贫化的过程,也是Eu异常和Ce异常趋于增大的过程,即相对于黏土岩来说,铝土矿具有高Eu异常、Ce异常的特征;相对于重稀土元素来说,无论是栗园向斜西翼还是东翼,铝土矿轻稀土元素相对富集,且轻稀土元素含量以及La与Yb含量之比均随深度变浅而增加;单纯利用稀土元素图解不能有效反映成矿物质的来源,但可以大体反映含矿岩系形成于海相或海陆过渡相环境;大竹园大型铝土矿与黔北其他铝土矿一样,总体上属于沉积型,可能与古喀斯特化过程、古风化过程有关。     

中国东部大陆尺度地球化学走廊带碳酸盐岩稀土元素分布特征与影响因素

碳酸盐岩是地球表层岩石圈的重要组成部分,其化学组成可提供沉积环境与海洋水体演化等信息,然而,前人对碳酸盐岩中稀土等元素的分布与变化特征关注不足。本文选择穿越中国东部6个一级大地构造单元的3条地球化学走廊带,系统采集了582件碳酸盐岩地层样品,并准确分析了包括稀土元素(REE)在内的81项指标的含量。结果表明,中国东部地球化学走廊带碳酸盐岩稀土元素(REE＋Y)总量为(0.59～183)×10-6,均值为24.0×10-6,纯净碳酸盐岩(CMC含量≥99％)均值为4.80×10-6。PAAS标准化后其显示具有轻稀土相对于中稀土和重稀土略亏损、δEu轻微正异常、δCe中度负异常等特征。白云岩中稀土含量、LREE/HREE值一般低于石灰岩;砂泥质含量相近时,前中生代各时代碳酸盐岩稀土分布模式相差不大,各构造单元稀土分布特征基本相似;与其他时代相比,中生代及中新元古代碳酸盐岩具有相对较平坦的稀土分布模式。研究表明,碳酸盐岩中稀土分布受碎屑物质影响明显,表现为稀土元素含量与碳酸根负相关,与碎屑物质相关元素(Si、Ti、Rb、Cs、Th、Zr等)、黏土相关元素(Al、Fe、K等)等正相关。成岩过程及白云化过程对较纯净碳酸盐岩中稀土分布特征影响不明显。我国古生代纯净碳酸盐岩分布模式受控于海相环境,其分布模式与现今海水相近;中生代纯净石灰岩受到陆相或海陆交互相的影响,具有较平坦的稀土分布模式。氧化还原条件对δCe的影响较δEu更为明显,δCe值受海相环境控制,极端正异常值(δCe＞1.3)受到还原环境或/和热液影响。若假定海水中REE自中元古代至今无太大变化,各时代稀土元素分配系数均值介于103.55～102.39,分配系数差异是造成碳酸盐岩中轻稀土亏损、Ce负异常及Y正异常的主要原因。微生物(席)可富集稀土等金属元素并改变沉积环境,这可能是造成中新元古界碳酸盐岩较平坦的稀土分布模式的主要原因。     

Petrogenetic significance of rare-earth element behavior in the basement rocks of southern Obudu Plateau, Bamenda Massif, southeastern Nigeria

Rock samples representing various igneous and metamorphic rocks of southern Obudu Plateau were analyzed for rare-earth element ( REE ) behavior by ICP-MS. Results of the analyses indicate a range of REE abundances and distinctive patterns from highly fraetionated patterns with negative Eu anomalies in granitic rocks to relatively low abundances and less REE fractionated flat patterns with little Eu anomaly in some paragneisses, schists, enderbites and dolerites to unfractionated patterns with positive Eu anomalies in some paragneisses and charnockites. Over all, there are low to high ∑ REE contents with negative to positive Eu anomalies. The ratios of different parameters, especially La/Yb and Ce/Yb, show behaviors consistent with crustal to mantle derivation. The heterogeneity of REE abundances and REE patterns reflects mantle to crustal petrogenetic variations of different rock suites on the Plateau. The LREE content is higher than the HREE content in the highly differentiated rocks, as evidenced by their La/Yb,Ce/Yb and La/Sm ratios, which are normally higher in residual products than in primary melts. The dominantly intermediate nature of the source rock of the orthogneisses is suggested by the generally low ∑ REE. The granites enriched in LREE and depleted in HREE and some of the charnockites with negative Eu anomalies were probably formed by partial melting and crystallization.

Flat rare earth element patterns as an indicator of cumulate processes in the Lesser Qinling carbonatites, China

The Lesser Qinling carbonatite dykes are mainly composed of calcites. They are characterized by unusually high heavy rare earth element concentrations (HREE; e.g. Yb > 30 ppm) and flat to weakly light rare earth element (LREE) enriched chondrite-normalized patterns (La/Yb_n = 1.0–5.5), which is in marked contrast with all other published carbonatite data. The trace element contents of calcite crystals were measured in situ by laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS). Some crystals show reduced LREE from core to rim, whereas their HREE compositions are relatively constant. The total REE contents and chondrite-normalized REE patterns from the cores of carbonate crystals are similar to those of the whole rock. The carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions of calcites fall within the range of primary, mantle-derived carbonatites. The initial Sr isotopic compositions (0.70480–0.70557) of calcites are consistent with an EM1 source or mixing between HIMU and EM1 mantle sources. However these sources cannot produce carbonatite parental magmas with a flat or slightly LREE enrichment pattern by low degrees of partial melting. Analyses of carbonates from other carbonatites show that carbonates have nearly flat REE pattern if they crystallize from a LREE enriched carbonatite melt. This implies that when carbonates crystallize from a carbonatite melt the calcite/melt partition coefficients (D) for HREE are much greater than the D for the LREE. The nearly flat REE patterns of the Lesser Qinling carbonatites can be explained if they are carbonate cumulates that contain little trapped carbonatite melt. Strong enrichment of HREE in the carbonatites may require their derivation by small degrees of melting from a garnet-poor source.     

The Rare Earth Elements and Uranium in Garnets from the Beinn an Dubhaich Aureole, Skye, Scotland, UK: Constraints on Processes in a Dynamic Hydrothermal System

Garnets from skarns in the Beinn an Dubhaich granite aureole,Isle of Skye, Scotland, have a large range of concentrationsof uranium (0·2–358 ppm) and the rare earth elements(REE) (23–4724 ppm). Variations in these concentrationscorrelate with major element zonation within the garnets, andwith changes in the shape of REE patterns. Typical patternsin most garnets display light REE (LREE) enrichment, flat heavyREE (HREE) distribution and a negative Eu anomaly. These patternsare interpreted to represent equilibrium trace element exchangebetween pre-existing pyroxene, hydrothermal fluid and calcicgarnets. Iron-rich zones are characterized by positive Eu anomaliesand an increase in the abundance of the LREE relative to theHREE. These patterns are interpreted as resulting from changesin REE speciation related to the introduction of externallybuffered fluid to the skarn system. Relatively Fe-poor zonesshow strongly HREE-enriched patterns with negative Eu anomaliesand in some instances depletions in Y relative to Ho and Dy,which are interpreted as resulting from surface sorption ofthe REE during rapid, disequilibrium garnet growth. Strong correlationsbetween U abundance and the REE patterns indicate that the sameprocesses have affected U distribution. Both types of patterncan be modified by the effects of closed-system crystallizationon REE abundance in the fluid, and changes in fluid major elementchemistry.

羌塘盆地角木日地区二叠系碳酸盐岩元素地球化学特征及其对古沉积环境的指示

对采自羌塘盆地角木日地区的二叠系碳酸盐岩,包括下二叠统展金组白云岩和中二叠统龙格组灰岩进行了元素地球 化学分析,并讨论了其对古沉积环境的指示意义。结果表明,样品Y/Ho比值平均为45.14,Gd表现为轻微Gd正异常,符合 海相灰岩特征;SiO2和Al2O3的平均含量较低,反映研究区陆源物质的侵入较为有限。碳酸盐岩中ΣREE含量较低,稀土元 素分异程度整体较弱,轻稀土元素相对重稀土元素呈轻微富集特征,Ce,Eu均具有明显负异常,结合V/Cr,V/(V+Ni),Sr/ Ba及Sr/Ca等微量元素含量及比值特征认为,研究区早-中二叠世沉积期海水总体呈氧化环境。纵向上龙格组顶部表现出氧 化性增强、盐度增大的趋势,推测可能与当时水体变浅有关,与早二叠世晚期研究区构造应力由拉张向挤压的变化有密切 关系。

东北伊春地区桃山古元古代花岗岩的发现

伊春桃山花岗岩具有高硅、富碱和低钙、镁、偏铝质-过铝质特点,稀土元素配分模式以轻稀土元素略微富集且缓向右倾斜、重稀土元素较为平坦、具有铕亏损的海鸥型,富集高场强元素(HFS)Zr和Ga,亏损Ba、Sr、Eu等大离子亲石元素,与区域上晚二叠世-早侏罗世的正长-碱长花岗岩具有类似的岩石地球化学特征。花岗岩锆石CL图像表明,锆石具有明显的继承性核和新生的边,核部的稀土微量元素变化较大,而新生的锆石边部稀土微量元素较稳定,说明部分锆石的核部受到了后期热事件的影响,而边部则是溶解后再沉淀的产物,即岩浆结晶作用形成。但无论是核部还是边部,它们的微量元素特征都指示其形成于大陆地壳环境,而非洋壳环境。锆石SHRIMPU-Pb定年结果表明,继承性锆石核具有两组平均年龄,分别为2540±10Ma和2471±12Ma,新生的锆石边部平均年龄为1821±10Ma。结合上述特征,我们认为,桃山花岗岩的源岩年龄为2.54Ga,区域上构造热事件的年龄为2.47Ga,而花岗岩的结晶年龄为1.82Ga,因此,桃山花岗岩所在的地区可能为一前寒武纪的古老微陆块。
