渔塘坝富硒硅质岩成因及沉积环境探讨：硅、氧、碳和硫同位素证据

鄂西渔塘坝含碳硅质岩段(P³₁m)为硒矿床的主要赋硒层位,其硅、氧同位素组成δ³⁰Si变化范围为0.5‰~1.8‰（平均1.25‰）;δ¹⁸O为22.7‰~27.1‰ （平均25.3‰）;硅质岩中黄铁矿 δ³⁴S的值变化范围为-27.7‰~-5.65‰,幅度大于20‰;硅质岩层位中方解石样品的δ¹³C值范围为4.19‰~0.52‰。综合研究表明,渔塘坝硅质岩在成因上主要表现为热水沉积特征,成岩温度为45℃,形成于半封闭的浅海至滨浅海（滞留的盆地）缺氧沉积环境。     

海南岛万泉河口沉积物有机碳、 氮同位素的特征及其环境意义*

对海南岛万泉河口沙美内海柱样K3和K4沉积物进行生物地球化学指标总有机碳(TOC)、总氮(TN)、有机碳同位素(δ¹³ C)、氮同位素(δ¹⁵ N)的分析,以及²¹⁰ Pb定年了解其近代变化特征,追踪沉积物有机质来源的变化,提取沉积环境演变及人类活动的信息。K3中TOC的变化介于0.51 ％ ~1.12 ％ ,K4变化介于0.43 ％ ~1.49 ％ ,而其随时间的变化反映了流域内人类活动的历史。17世纪TOC含量明显增加记录了明末清初开始流域内广泛种植农作物的活动,19世纪以来TOC含量逐渐增加,至现代达最高值,对应了工业革命以来人类活动的增强。K3和K4的δ¹³ C值变化分别在-24.38 ‰ ~-21.02 ‰ 之间和-24.74 ‰ ~-20.17 ‰ 之间,δ¹⁵ N值变化分别在2.20 ‰ ~4.62 ‰ 之间和2.39 ‰ ~5.02 ‰ 之间,映证了本区沉积物有机质是陆源物质和海洋物质混合的特点。明末清初开始流域内广泛种植玉米等农作物造成δ¹³ C值增加和δ¹⁵ N值减少; 自19世纪以来至现在,该区的经济活动增加,人口的持续增长,尤其是近50年来化肥农药的大量使用,造成陆源输入的有机碳含量大幅增加,使δ¹³ C值减少和δ¹⁵ N比值增加。 δ¹³ C值自19世纪以来就逐渐变轻,说明陆源和海洋有机碳的比例发生了变化,较轻的陆源有机碳比例相对增加,较重的海洋有机碳比例相对减少,反映了玉带滩沙坝的增长、沙美内海封闭、海水交换作用减少的状况。C/N比值分别从底部的16.19和17.36到顶部减小为11左右,自19世纪以来呈明显减小的趋势也反映了沙美内海泻湖自生的藻类有机质供应越来越多,也说明了其逐渐封闭、水动力条件越来越弱,与外海的交换作用逐渐减少的状况。     

西秦岭阳山金矿带硫同位素特征:成矿环境与物质来源约束

阳山金矿带成岩期的黄铁矿主要为立方体-他形,反映出一种较低温度(<200℃)、成岩流体的过饱和度低、快速冷却、氧逸度和硫逸度低、物质供应不足的成岩条件,δ³⁴S值变化范围较大(-4.2‰～12.5‰),反映了硫源自于泥盆系地层,其中灰岩中黄铁矿硫源自于海水中硫酸根离子的还原作用,千枚岩中黄铁矿经历了细菌还原作用。成矿期黄铁矿具有多种晶形,但立方体单晶较少,指示成矿系统处于中-低温(200～300℃)、成矿流体的过饱和度高、缓慢冷却、氧逸度和硫逸度高、物质供应充分的成矿有利条件。成矿早阶段和主阶段硫化物的δ³⁴S值变化范围为-4.2‰～3‰,接近于岩浆硫范围,其中成矿主阶段的黄铁矿以五角十二面体、八面体和立方体形成的聚形更常见,且聚形黄铁矿的硫同位素值变化范围更窄(-2.1‰～1.2‰),更符合岩浆硫来源特征;成矿晚阶段辉锑矿的δ³⁴S值变化范围为-6.6‰～-4.5‰,而与其共生的黄铁矿δ³⁴S值分别是7.6‰和-12.1‰,反映晚阶段除岩浆岩硫源外,浅变质的泥盆系地层也提供了部分硫源。     

贵州龙动物群产出层位碳氧同位素研究

贵州龙动物群是二叠-三叠纪大绝灭后海洋生态系统辐射发展阶段最晚期的典型代表,为了解其古环境信息,对贵州省兴义地区顶效及周边产地开展了精细剖面测量,采集碳酸盐岩进行了全岩碳氧同位素测试。测试结果显示：泥麦谷剖面δ¹³C值分布范围-6.3‰~2.6‰,δ¹⁸O分布范围在-5.7‰~-1.2‰;谢米剖面δ¹³C值分布范围在-4.5‰~2.5‰,δ¹⁸O在-5.7‰~-1.2‰;坝尾剖面δ¹³C值分布范围在0.5‰~2‰,δ¹⁸O在-6.4‰~0.1‰;顶效剖面δ¹³C值分布范围在-4.3‰~2.1‰,δ¹⁸O在-7.3‰~-2.5‰。根据碳氧同位素数据相关性分析显示泥麦谷、谢米、坝尾剖面的同位素值受后期成岩作用影响较小。在泥麦谷、谢米及顶效贵州龙动物群产出层位下段均出现明显的δ¹³C负异常,与低水位时期海洋生物快速死亡密切相关,也与火山作用存在一定的联系。由于顶效剖面受后期成岩作用影响,笔者利用泥麦谷、谢米及坝尾剖面δ¹⁸O数据对兴义地区古海水温度进行了恢复,结果显示温度分布在19~27℃,平均为23℃左右,说明当时属于温暖气候环境。     

贵阳雨水无机氮沉降的氮、氧同位素特征

雨水中氮沉降主要以铵盐(NH+4)和硝酸盐(NO-3)形式存在,这与地表生态氮循环和酸雨等环境问题直接相连.我们测定了贵阳地区雨水中的NH+4和NO-3的氮氧同位素值,讨论了氮素形态分布及其同位素组成特征,探讨了雨水中溶解无机氮的成因.雨水中的NH+4和NO-3平均值分别为0.81和o.51mg N/L;铵盐的δ15N平均值为-4.7‰,较硝酸盐的δ15N平均值负,雨水中硝酸盐δ18O值为25.2‰～40.1‰,平均值为34.2±4.3‰,季节性差别不显著.     

表层岩溶生态系统碳循环特征研究

本文以广西桂林丫吉试验场的实际观测资料为基础,应用同位素示踪方法,探索了整个系统中碳的输入、输出和转移问题,并分析了表层岩溶生态系统中泉水水化学、土壤 CO²浓度及近地表植被层空气中CO²浓度的变化特征。结果显示,泉水水化学主要组分的日变化不明显,而土壤中CO²浓度则明显受日气候变化的影响,两者存在明显的滞后关系。用碳同位素示踪方法,重点对桂林观测站表层生态系统各碳库间碳的转移过程进行了定量研究,认为在有土壤层和植被覆盖的表层岩溶生态系统中,参与岩溶作用的碳有一半以上来源于与生物作用有关的碳。

金厂峪金矿床成矿流体地球化学性质对金沉淀的制约

本文对河北金厂峪金矿床蚀变围岩和石英脉组分进行的对比分析,得知蚀变围岩中Al₂O₃、P₂O₅、MnO₂含量变化较小,石英脉中SiO₂、FeO、CaO、MgO、Sr、Ba、Sc、Zn、Ga、Ta、Au、Ag、Y、Pb、REE分布模式等相对于蚀变岩有明显不同。矿石中硫化物δ³⁴S值接近0‰ ,矿石围岩胪δ³⁴S为-5.0‰ ~ +3.2‰,矿石铅的²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁴Pb明显高于岩石铅。矿石中铁白云石δ¹³C值变化于-2.3‰ ~ -8.4‰ ,与初生碳δ¹³C值(-5‰ ~ -8‰ )接近,石英包亵体δ¹³C值变化于-3.55‰ ~ -8.44‰ 。脉体内的石英与碳酸盐岩,以及金属矿物都是相同成矿流体的产物,成矿流体具有深源特征。大气水及形成裂隙引起的减压作用是深源流体性质改变和组分沉淀的主要因素。     

岩浆去气作用碳硫同位素效应

 根据开放体系条件下的瑞利分馏原理,并考虑岩浆中可能溶解的合碳和含硫组分,从理论上定量模式了岩浆去气作用对火成岩碳、硫同位素组成的影响。结果表明,岩浆CO₂去气作用能够导致岩石中碳酸盐显着亏损¹³C,其δ¹³C值能够从原始-5‰变化到-20‰(PDB);岩浆CH₄去气作用则导致岩石中碳酸盐相对富集¹³C,其δ¹³C值能够从原始-5‰变化到+4‰。岩浆SO₂去气作用可以导致岩石中硫化物显着亏损³⁴S,其δ³⁴S值能够从0‰变化到-8‰(CDT);岩浆H₂S去气作用则导致岩石中的硫化物相对富集4S,其δ³⁴S值能够从0‰变化到+6‰。因此,除源岩原始同位素不均一性和地壳物质混染能引起火成岩的碳、硫同位素组成发生较大变化外,岩浆去气作用也是重要原因之一。

Isotope analysis of nitrate pollution sources in groundwater of Dong'e geohydrological unit

As nitrate pollution in groundwater has become increasingly serious in recent years, nitrogen isotope was adopted in this paper to define its sources in a typical agricultural area of Dong'e hydrogeological unit. The results show that: Higher content of NO_3~- detected in shallow groundwater is 27.77 mg/L on average and δ15 N content ranges from 7.8‰ to 12 ‰, indicating that shallow groundwater is mainly contaminated by sewage or feces. In contrast, less NO_3~- in deep groundwater(karst water) has an average value of 12.81 mg/L and δ15 N content is between 7.2‰ and 14.3‰, which is closely related to human disturbance as mentioned above. In addition, considering relatively low groundwater quality at some monitoring sites, reasonable fertilization is a better choice in the study area to reduce nitrate source in groundwater.

Influencing factors and significance of organic and inorganic nitrogen isotopic compositions in lacustrine sedimentary rocks

Comprehensive nitrogen biogeochemical cycle has been reconstructed for representative lacustrine organic-rich sedimentary rock in China, namely the Triassic Yanchang Formation (YF, 199–230 Ma) in Ordos and the Cretaceous Qingshankou Formation (QF, 86–92 Ma) in Songliao basins, by evaluating the organic and inorganic nitrogen isotopic compositions rather than only organic or bulk nitrogen isotopic compositions. The results indicate that the nitrogen isotope values of bulk rock (δ¹⁵N_bulk) in the non-metamorphic stage are significantly different from that of kerogen, which challenge the conceptual framework of sedimentary nitrogen isotope interpretation. The δ¹⁵N_bulk from the YF and QF were lower than their respective the nitrogen isotope values of kerogen (δ¹⁵N_ker), with offsets up to ～5.1‰, which have the inverse relationship for the metamorphosed rock. Thermal evolution did not significantly modify the δ¹⁵N of bulk rock and kerogen. The δ¹⁵N of sediments from the YF (δ¹⁵N_bulk, 1.6‰–5.6‰) were lower than that of rock from the QF (δ¹⁵N_bulk, 10.2‰–15.3‰). The nitrogen isotope values of silicate incorporated nitrogen (δ¹⁵N_sil) were slightly lower than those of the δ¹⁵N_ker in the YF and obviously lower for the QF. The fact that different nitrogen cycles occur in the YF and QF due to the different depositional redox conditions leads to different isotopic results. The YF water environment dominated by oxic conditions is not conducive to the occurrence of denitrification and anammox, and no abundant N₂ loss leads to the relatively light δ¹⁵N_bulk. In the stratified water for the QF, redox transition zone promotes denitrification and anammox, resulting in the heavy δ¹⁵N_bulk of rock and promotes the DNRA, resulting in heavy δ¹⁵N_ker and low δ¹⁵N_sil.     

Coupling an equation of state and Henry's Law to model the phase equilibria of gases and brines: Examples in the N2–H2O–NaCl system

We propose a thermodynamic model for the mixing of gases in aqueous sodium chloride solutions valid to high pressures, high temperatures, and high ionic strength solutions. Our model couples Henry's Law with any equation of state to reproduce experimental data in the aqueous-rich liquid and gas-rich vapor region. In our model, the chemical potential of the solute in the brine is related to the chemical potential of the solute in pure water through salting-out coefficients. The model reproduces all crucial phenomena of binary (gas–water) and pseudo-binary (gas–water–salt) vapor–liquid mixtures below their critical point. We applied the model to reproduce the phase behavior of nitrogen in water and NaCl brines. Results and discussions are shown.     

Inclusions in diamonds from the K14 and K10 kimberlites, Buffalo Hills, Alberta, Canada: diamond growth in a plume?

Analyses of mineral inclusions, carbon isotopes, nitrogen contents and nitrogen aggregation states in 29 diamonds from two Buffalo Hills kimberlites in northern Alberta, Canada were conducted. From 25 inclusion bearing diamonds, the following paragenetic abundances were found: peridotitic (48%), eclogitic (32%), eclogitic/websteritic (8%), websteritic (4%), ultradeep? (4%) and unknown (4%). Diamonds containing mineral inclusions of ferropericlase, and mixed eclogitic-asthenospheric-websteritic and eclogitic-websteritic mineral associations suggests the possibility of diamond growth over a range of depths and in a variety of mantle environments (lithosphere, asthenosphere and possibly lower mantle).

Eclogitic diamonds have a broad range of C-isotopic composition (δ¹³C=−21‰ to −5‰). Peridotitic, websteritic and ultradeep diamonds have typical mantle C-isotope values (δ¹³C=−4.9‰ av.), except for two ¹³C-depleted peridotitic (δ¹³C=−11.8‰, −14.6‰) and one ¹³C-depleted websteritic diamond (δ¹³C=−11.9‰). Infrared spectra from 29 diamonds identified two diamond groups: 75% are nitrogen-free (Type II) or have fully aggregated nitrogen defects (Type IaB) with platelet degradation and low to moderate nitrogen contents (av. 330 ppm-N); 25% have lower nitrogen aggregation states and higher nitrogen contents (30% IaB; <1600 ppm-N).

The combined evidence suggests two generations of diamond growth. Type II and Type IaB diamonds with ultradeep, peridotitic, eclogitic and websteritic inclusions crystallised from eclogitic and peridotitic rocks while moving in a dynamic environment from the asthenosphere and possibly the lower mantle to the base of the lithosphere. Mechanisms for diamond movement through the mantle could be by mantle convection, or an ascending plume. The interaction of partial melts with eclogitic and peridotitic lithologies may have produced the intermediate websteritic inclusion compositions, and can explain diamonds of mixed parageneses, and the overlap in C-isotope values between parageneses. Strong deformation and extremely high nitrogen aggregation states in some diamonds may indicate high mantle storage temperatures and strain in the diamond growth environment. A second diamond group, with Type IaA–IaB nitrogen aggregation and peridotitic inclusions, crystallised at the base of the cratonic lithosphere. All diamonds were subsequently sampled by kimberlites and transported to the Earth's surface.     

Nitrate in groundwater and N circulation in eastern Botswana

Nitrate pollution due to deep leaching from pit latrines has caused water supply wells in eastern Botswana to exceed health limits concerning nitrate. It was deduced from the estimated intake of salt and protein by the population that, as an average, about 10 percent of the human nitrogen excretion is leached to the groundwater. This fraction was also found in southern India, where on-the-ground excretion is customary. The nitrogen circulation in general in the savanna ecosystem is not appreciably affected in spite of a large livestock density. Overall nitrate leaching is in the order of 1.5 kg N/ha/y, similar to that in another semiarid area in southern India. However, in India, there seems to be a more diffuse areal leaching from agriculture as well as from villages.Measures to minimize the nitrate leaching could be to plant deep-rooted trees adjacent to pit latrines or to use latrines that separate the urine from the faces for a more near-surface infiltration facilitating plant uptake. Measures to minimize leaching will also lessen the rick for bacterial pollution of the groundwater.

Century-scale nitrogen and phosphorus controls of the carbon cycle

In recent decades, humans have become a very important force in the Earth system, demonstrating that emissions (gaseous, liquid, and solid) are the cause of many of our environmental issues. These emissions are responsible for major global reorganizations of the biogeochemical cycles. The oceans are now a net sink of atmospheric CO₂, whereas in their preindustrial state they were a source; the trophic state of the coastal oceans is progressively moving toward increased heterotrophy; and the terrestrial realm is now vacillating between trophic states, whereas in preindustrial times it was autotrophic. In this paper, we present model calculations that underscore the role of human-induced perturbations in changing Earth's climate, specifically the role of anthropogenic nitrogen and phosphorus in controlling processes in the global carbon cycle since the year 1850 with projections to the year 2035. Our studies show that since the late 1940's emissions of nitrogen and phosphorus have been sequestered in the terrestrial living phytomass and groundwater. This nutrient-enhanced fertilization of terrestrial biota, coupled with rising atmospheric CO₂ and global temperature, has induced a sink of anthropogenic CO₂ that roughly balances the emission of CO₂ owing to land use change. In the year 2000, for example, the model-calculated terrestrial biotic sink was 1730 Mtons C/year, while the emission of CO₂ from changes in land use was 1820 Mtons C/year, a net flux of 90 Mtons C/year emitted to the atmosphere. In the global aquatic environment, enhanced terrestrial inputs of biotically reactive phosphorus (about 8.5 Mtons P/year) and inorganic nitrogen (about 54 Mtons N/year), have induced increased new production and burial of organic carbon in marine sediments, which is a small sink of anthropogenic CO₂. It is predicted that the response of the global land reservoirs of C, N, and P to sustained anthropogenic perturbations will be maintained in the same direction of change over the range of projected scenarios of global population increase and temperature change for the next 35 years. The magnitude of change is significantly larger when the global temperature increase is maximum, especially with respect to the processes of remobilization of the biotically important nutrients nitrogen and phosphorus.
