古环境研究中深海沉积物粒度测试的预处理方法

对深海沉积物样品进行粒度测试前,应根据研究目的,在预处理过程中有效去除碳酸盐和生物硅,同时完好保留陆源碎屑组分,才能使测试结果准确反映古气候和古环境变化。对采于南海的样品分别加入不同剂量浓度为10％的盐酸或浓度为25％的醋酸,以及不同剂量的NaOH或Na2CO3,同时利用有机元素分析仪、硅钼蓝比色法、环境扫描电子显微镜分析、观察不同方法的预处理效果,并结合粒度测试的结果认为,对于碳酸盐,盐酸和醋酸均可将其有效去除,但由于少量盐酸仍会对陆源矿物组分造成破坏,因此应使用酸性较弱的醋酸;对于生物硅,大剂量的Na2CO3仍难将其有效去除,而使用小剂量的NaOH即可去除干净,但需控制剂量以避免破坏矿物组分。针对南海沉积物中的各种生物组分含量,确定了醋酸和NaOH的使用剂量并建立了预处理流程。

全新世冲绳海槽北部表层海水温度和初级生产力对黑潮变迁的响应

在冲绳海槽北部B-3GC孔高分辨率地层年代框架的基础上,利用多种分子生物标志物和生源组分指标,重建了该地区全新世以来表层海水温度和生产力的变化历史.研究发现,U37K-表层海水温度和生产力的变化指示了全新世黑潮及对马暖流分支的变迁.10.6～7.3 ka BP期间,冲绳海槽北部主要受东海陆架冷水团影响,陆源物质输入量增加,初级生产力比较高,表层海水温度较低.7.3～4.6 ka BP期间,黑潮暖流对该区的影响迅速增强,表层海水快速增温,陆源物质输入减少,但是各种生产力指标显示出上升趋势,与该区上升流的出现和迅速发育有关.4.6～2.7 ka BP期间,即全新世普林虫低值事件(PME)期间,表层海水温度明显降低了0.8～1.4℃,陆源物质输入增加,初级生产力和各种生源组分的含量也达到较高水平,说明此时黑潮强度减弱,或者黑潮主流轴向太平洋方向发生偏移,该区再次受到陆架冲淡水的影响.2.7 ka BP以来,虽然黑潮暖流再次影响到该海区,但初级生产力和生源物质输出量继续大幅增高,可能与该地区上升流的持续发育有关.     

The Chemical Composition of Global Subducting Sediments and Its Geological Significance

Subducted sediments play an important role in crust-mantle interaction and deep mantle processes, especially for subduction zone magmatism and mantle geochemistry. The current rate of Global Subducting Sediments (GLOSS) is 0.5~0.7 km³/a. The GLOSS are composed of terrigenous material(76 wt.%), calcium carbonate(7 wt.%), opal(10 wt.%) and mineral-bound H₂O⁺(7 wt.%). The chemical compositions of GLOSS are similar to those of upper continental crust which is mainly controlled by the terrigenous materials, and yet the materials formed by marine processes will dilute the terrigenous materials. The components of subducted sediments are different among trenches. In the accretionary margin, the components of subducted sediments are similar to those of the upper crust, while in the non-accretionary margin the components are terrigenous materials plus those produced by marine processes. During subduction, subducted sediments will released fluids, melt or supercritical fluid to affect island arc/back-arc basin magmatism by means of aqueous fluid or sediment melt. In addition, a part of subducted sediments, together with underlying altered oceanic crust/lithosphere, recycle into the mantle and contribute to the mantle heterogeneity. Geochemical tracers indicate that subducted sediments play variable contributions to the magmatic processes in different tectonic setting. Thus, subducted sediments play an important role in two relatively independent dynamics systems (plate tectonics and mantle plume), as well as related mantle evolution models. As a result, by accurately calculating the compositions of subduction sediments and using various geochemical indicators, we can further limit the input and output fluxes of various elements or isotopes, and then obtain more accurately residual subducted components, which can provide us some important clues for geodynamic process.     

冲绳海槽南部沉积层序的粒度特征

对取自冲绳海槽南部的A2 3孔经前处理后的沉积物样品进行了粒度测试,探讨了陆源沉积层序的粒度特征。沉积物平均粒径、分选系数、偏态、峰态等粒度参数的变化显示出A2 3孔的沉积层序以 4 0 0cm为界可分为上、下两段,下段各参数稳定,代表了比较稳定的水动力条件的沉积环境;上段则波动较大,小规模浊流沉积频繁发育,暗示了不稳定的沉积环境。浊流层内粗粒与细粒组分含量及粒度分布的变化具有明显的规律性。通过分析A2 3孔陆源沉积层序的各沉积参数特征,认为冲绳海槽南部的沉积环境和动力在时间尺度上有较大的变化,东海陆架物质向南部海槽的输运可能是以峡谷为通道的重力作用引起的床底沉积作用为主。另外,对陆源碎屑和全样粒度结果的对比,显示了前处理方法对于海洋沉积物粒度分析的重要性.     

The Geochemical Context of Gas Hydrate in the Eastern Nankai Trough

Abstract. Geochemical studies for gas hydrate, gas and organic matter collected from gas hydrate research wells drilled at the landward side of the eastern Nankai Trough, offshore Tokai, Japan, are reported. Organic matter in the 2355 m marine sediments drilled to Eocene is mainly composed of Type III kerogen with both marine and terrigenous organic input. The gas hydrate-bearing shallow sediments are immature for hydrocarbon generation, whereas the sediments below 2100 mbsf are thermally mature. The origins of gases change from microbial to thermogenic at around 1500 mbsf.
Carbon isotope compositions of CH₄ and CO₂, and hydrocarbon compositions consistently suggest that the CH₄ in the gas hydrate-bearing sediments is generated by microbial reduction of CO₂. The δ¹³C depth-profiles of CH₄ and CO₂ suggest that the microbial methanogenesis is less active in the Nankai Trough sediments compared with other gas hydrate-bearing sediments where solid gas hydrate samples of microbial origin were recovered. Since in situ generative-potential of microbial methane in the Nankai Trough sediments is interpreted to be low due to the low total organic carbon content (0.5 % on the average) in the gas hydrate-bearing shallow sediments, upward migration of microbial methane and selective accumulation into permeable sands should be necessary for the high concentration of gas hydrate in discrete sand layers.     

澳大利亚Bonaparte盆地大陆边缘裂陷期局限海相页岩发育特征与模式

发育于大陆边缘裂陷阶段以局限海相为主要沉积环境的富含浮游藻类泥页岩可能是Bonaparte盆地潜在的重要“油”源岩。从构造地质背景、沉积充填特征以及有机地球化学特征等多方面进行综合分析表明,局限海相页岩形成于大陆边缘裂陷阶段的衰减期,盆地基底的差异裂陷活动为页岩的形成提供了高可容纳空间和欠补偿的沉积环境,同时,“小隆大凹”的沉积格局更加有利于大规模相对稳定的半封闭的局限海沉积环境的形成和海相浮游藻类的繁盛。以扇三角洲和海底扇为主的物源体系带来大量“陆源”营养物质,同时,保持营养物质的供给与欠补偿条件的平衡。局限海相页岩主要形成于弱氧化、陆源物质供给较弱、局限海范围较大的沉积环境;岩性上以海相泥岩为主,陆源孢粉化石与沟鞭藻化石均较发育,或后者含量略高;沉积厚度适中、分布范围局限;有机质丰度相对较高,以混合型有机质为主,成熟度较低,气相色谱以前峰型为主,(nC₂₁+nC₂₂)/(nC₂₈+nC₂₉)和Pr/Ph比值相对较高,甾萜等生物标志化合物参数以低C₁₉三环二萜和C₂₄四环萜烷、高孕甾烷、高αααC₂₇R/αααC₂₉R为特征。     

Influence of hydrodynamic regime on the mineral composition of deep-sea sediments

The composition of sand-silt and pelite fractions of deep-sea sediments deposited under different hydrodynamic conditions was studied. Assemblages of clastic, clayey, biogenic, and authigenic minerals formed under the influence of surface and bottom currents were traced. It is shown that biogenic opal, fine-dispersed celestobarite, and authigenic protosyngenetic ferromanganese micronodules, which are composed of only manganese phases, represent indicators of cyclonic gyres characterized by enhanced bioproductivity. Collophane (bone detritus), phillipsite, palagonite, and large celestobarite crystals prevail in mineral assemblages below the anticyclonic gyres, whereas ore micronodules are depleted in manganese. Surface and bottom currents control the distribution of clastic (terrigenous edaphogenic, terrestrial-volcanogenic) and clay minerals, as well as biogenic opal in the form of Ethmodiscus frustules in sediments. Edaphogenic mineral assemblages represent the reliable indicators of bottom currents.     

Diagenetic Dissolution of Biogenic Magnetite in Surface Sediments of the Benguela Upwelling System

Intense primary biologic productivity in the surface waters of the Benguela upwelling system provides a high supply of organic matter to the sea floor at the continental slope off Namibia and sustains extreme concentrations of magnetite producing bacteria in the top sediment layers. Biogenic magnetite is thus by far the dominant carrier of the magnetic signal in these deposits also because of a very minor input of terrigenous ferrimagnetic minerals. Reducing conditions in the sediment column cause a selective dissolution of the bacterial magnetite fraction just a few centimeters below the main mineralization horizon. This diagenetic process is documented in detail by high-resolution rock magnetic analyses and transmission electron microscopy. Concentration dependent and grain-size sensitive magnetic parameters, such as susceptibility, laboratory imparted remanences, and hysteresis data, reveal a significant drop in ferrimagnetic mineral content within the upper 10 cm of the sediments accompanied by a gradual downward coarsening of the ferrimagnetic mineral assemblage from primarily magnetic single-domain particles in the top centimeters to multi-domain grains in deeper strata. Electron microscope observations enable both an unequivocal identification of bacterial magnetite on the basis of shape and grain-size and to trace dissolution effects on the biogenic magnetic mineral component to depth.

The occurrence and significance of biogenic opal in the regolith

Biogenic opal produced by vascular plants, diatoms, and siliceous sponges have been found in soils and terrestrial sediments of all continents except Antarctica since the middle of the 19th century. The opal particles range in size from fine silt to fine sand. Almost all soils contain detectable opal up to levels of 2–3%, and a significant number contain values in excess of 5%. Even higher values have been found from soils and sediments of all continents in a wide range of soil types. The most important factor is poor soil drainage and seasonal to permanent water logging. This encourages the proliferation of silica producing organisms. Such conditions have been found in the soils and aquatic sediments of the monsoonal tropics, tropical rain forests, temperate forests, tropical savanna, tropical islands, semi-arid grasslands and savanna, and temperate woodland and grassland. The presence of a volcanic substrate also appears favourable in some cases, but is not necessary. Biogenic opal preferentially collects in the A horizon of soils and, to a lesser extent, in the B horizon. This preferential distribution facilitates identification of palaeosols in stacked soil sequences. Biogenic opal is also a component of windblown dust, even in arid environments. Biogenic opal is significant to regolith processes in a number of ways. Firstly, as in the case in marine environments, it is likely to be important in silica cycling and storage because of its greater lability compared to quartz. Secondly, dissolution and reprecipitation of opal A as opal CT or micro-quartz may play a role in cementation and silicification of regolith to form silica hardpans and silcrete. Thirdly, the organisms that form biogenic opal can have considerable palaeoenvironmental significance and be valuable in reconstructing regolith evolution. Finally, some forms of biogenic silica, in particular sponge spicules, can present a health hazard. Their high abundance in some soils and sediments needs to be considered when assessing the health implications of airborne dust.

Magnesium in the marine sedimentary environment: Mg---NH4 ion exchange

The release of exchangeable Mg in marine sediments from displacement by ammonium ions was estimated by way of experimentally determining the parameters that govern this ion-exchange equilibrium on solid geochemical phases: smectite, humic acid, illite and opal.

We showed that: (a) both the conditional selectivity constant as well as the solid concentration are important parameters in determining the relative contribution of ammonium-exchangeable Mg from smectite, organic matter, illite and opal; and (b) that, except in the cases where opal or organic matter concentrations are very high, the clays are the dominant carrier phases for labile Mg which is exchangeable by ammonium.

A model, based on the sum of the contributions from the major geochemical phases present in the sediment reliably predicts the amount of Mg released by exchange with ammonium in marine sediments.     

哈拉湖湖滨沉积物的粒度分布特征及其环境意义

Interactions of biogenic opal,sediment and seawater in the Central Equatorial Pacific

The solution rate of biogenic opal in near-surface sediments in the Central Equatorial Pacific is three to eight orders of magnitude lower than similar acid-cleaned samples. Iron, magnesium and calcium aluminosilicates may be the minerals which are forming on the surface of the opal and reducing its solution rate. The scale height of the system studied suggests that diffusive and not advective processes are primarily responsible for the removal of dissolved silica in sediments. Solution budget calculations for this area suggest that 90–99 per cent of the biogenic opal produced in surface waters dissolves before reaching the sediment-water interface; an additional amount dissolves within the sediment and diffuses into bottom waters leaving 0.05–0.15 per cent of the original amount of opal produced by organisms in the sedimentary record. The relative solution potential of the upper 1000 m of the water column varies by more than an order of magnitude from the Antarctic to Equator and may have a pronounced effect on the accumulation rate of biogenic opal in underlying sediments.     

The chemistry and mineralogy of the clay fraction of sediments from the southern Barents Sea

The separated clay fraction (material <μ) of surface and sub-surface sediment samples from the southwestern Barents Sea is described. The partitioning of the major and minor elements within the different grain-size fractions of the sediment and between detrital and non-detrital phases demonstrates that the clay chemistry of these oxic shelf sediments is terrigenous in origin.The clays are a variable mixture of micaceous debris and illite with chloritic material, minor expandable clay and occasional kaolinite. Carbonate debris and amphibole occur locally. The semi-quantitative analysis suggests the existence of a considerable variation in the relative content of the principal mineralogical components and this is confirmed by the investigation of the major and minor elements. The terrigenous chemistry provides a more sensitive index of clay variability and allows the recognition of three distinct petrographic provinces.
