峨眉山玄武岩组铜矿化与层位关系研究

根据地球化学急变带控矿的分带性规律,在滇黔边界发现了新类型的铜矿化及工业矿体找矿线索。铜矿化一般赋存在二叠系峨眉山玄武岩组,二者之间难于识别,铜矿物以自然铜和黑铜矿为主,赋存于特定的熔结凝灰岩、火山凝灰角砾岩层位,形成作用与有机质有关,很可能形成一种新的铜矿工业类型。基于野外调研和室内岩矿鉴定,按铜矿化的矿物组合及赋存特点,初步划分为：硅质沥青铜矿化;次生氧化、硫化物铜矿化;团块浸染状自然铜矿化;热液蚀变沸石化型黑铜矿化;凝灰角砾岩型黄铜矿化和碳质、硅化木铜矿化等6种铜矿化类型。这些矿化类型分别与相应的玄武岩组韵律层相对应,其中,沥青质铜矿化类型在区域上分布广泛,沥青广泛充填于熔结凝灰岩的气孔和含矿凝灰岩、碳泥质岩石破碎带中,自然铜、黑铜矿等矿物赋存于硅质沥青岩中,矿化层稳定,找矿标志明显,具有重要的创新性研究意义和找矿价值。     

滇黔交界地区峨眉山玄武岩铜矿化蚀变特征

滇黔交界地区蛾眉山玄武岩铜矿化具层控特征,主要发育于上二叠统蛾眉山玄武岩组第四岩性段下部。矿化主岩为玄武岩流顶部的淬碎玄武质角砾岩和玄武岩流之间的含炭沉积岩;矿石矿物主要为自然铜及其表生氧化产物黑铜矿、赤铜矿、孔雀石等;脉石矿物主要有沥青、炭质物、石英、沸石、方解石、绿帘石等,此外还有少量绿泥石、钠长石、铁阳起石、榍石、辉铜矿、硅孔雀石、铜蓝、褐铁矿等。以玄武岩为主岩的铜矿石典型矿物组合为自然铜 沥青 石英及不含沥青等有机质的自然铜 石英 绿帘石,以含炭沉积岩为主岩的铜矿石典型矿物组合为自然铜 炭质物 沸石 石英( 辉铜矿);原生铜矿化有2个期次：早期铜矿化发生于有机质流体贯人之前,晚期铜矿化发生于有机质流体贯人之后。该类铜矿化的同生火山热液特征不明显,以后生热液矿化为主。淬碎玄武质角砾岩不仅是有机流体的良好储层,也为成矿流体提供了就位空间,是铜矿化层控特征的主要控制因素。有机流体及含碳沉积岩中碳质为成矿物质以自然铜形式沉淀提供了还原条件。     

紫金山高硫型金铜矿的矿床地质研究进展

随着紫金山金铜矿露天采矿规模的不断扩大,许多与矿床成因密切相关的地质现象被剥露出来,露采场成为进行矿床地质研究的最佳场所。本文对紫金山金铜矿露采场的构造、矿化及蚀变分带特征进行了详细研究,研究表明:在自北向南靠近火山机构的过程中,蚀变带依次为绢云母+地开石化带、地开石+明矾石化带、地开石+褐铁矿化带和强硅化带,各个蚀变带内的主要金属矿物组合变化依次为黄铁矿+斑铜矿±硫砷铜矿±蓝辉铜矿,黄铁矿+蓝辉铜矿+铜蓝+硫砷铜矿±斑铜矿,褐铁矿+针铁矿+自然金+次生铜蓝+孔雀石,黄铁矿+斑铜矿+硫砷铜矿+蓝辉铜矿。在空间分布上,主要的矿石矿物在水平方向上从斑铜矿渐变为蓝辉铜矿,垂直方向上从上部的自然金+褐铁矿向下变为蓝辉铜矿+斑铜矿,深部变为铜蓝±蓝辉铜矿。蚀变分带与金属矿物组合的空间分布都体现出在靠近火山机构及深度增加的过程中成矿热液的硫逸度和氧逸度越来越高。矿石中还出现了具有指示意义的含锡矿物。这些特征都表明紫金山金铜矿是含矿热液多期次叠加的结果。金的富集成矿和金铜的矿化分带受北西向与北东向密集节理交汇带的控制。     

新疆东准噶尔苏海图地区首次发现自然铜的启示和意义

苏海图火山岩属于纸房-琼河坝火山岩带,出露的地层主要有泥盆—二叠系火山岩。首次在新疆苏海图地区蚀变玄武岩中发现自然铜矿化,矿化与绿帘石化、碳酸盐化、孔雀石化、硅化等关系密切,显示热液成矿特点。电子探针研究初步表明,铜矿物组合为自然铜、赤铜矿和黑铜矿等,自然铜被赤铜矿、黑铜矿不同程度交代;已发现的铜矿物中,尚未发现自然铜与其它铜的硫化物之间存在接触关系,暗示自然铜为原生铜矿物,矿化与火山间歇期热液活动有关,属于火山岩型铜矿化。地球化学特征表明,苏海图含矿玄武岩不具有地幔柱玄武岩特征,自然铜矿化和地幔柱岩浆作用无关。同一岛弧带上的琼河坝地区以斑岩型、矽卡岩型铜矿为主,苏海图地区火山岩广泛分布,可能存在多种铜矿化类型,自然铜矿化是该地区一种新的矿化类型,对寻找铜矿具有一定的指导意义。     

川南滇北含自然铜杏仁状玄武岩的矿物组合与成因

峨眉山玄武岩铜矿与基韦诺超大型铜矿相似,杏仁状玄武岩中的自然铜矿石就是该类型铜矿床中的主要组成部分之一,本文称其为"杏仁体式"自然铜矿床。通过矿石矿物标型特征、矿物组合特征以及固溶体分离结构特征等分析研究,认为川南滇北"杏仁体式"自然铜矿为火山热液矿床,形成于低温还原环境,成矿作用发生在岩浆作用结束期及间歇期热液阶段,成矿经历过热液蚀变改造。铜矿物生成顺序为:自然铜→斑铜矿、辉铜矿、黄铜矿→赤铜矿、黑铜矿、孔雀石等。玄武岩中广泛分布的沥青与自然铜同时形成,并为自然铜及铜的硫化物的形成提供了强还原环境。沥青形成温度和斑铜矿-辉铜矿的固溶体分解温度将自然铜形成温度区间限定为290~225℃。     

新疆谢米斯台地区首次发现自然铜矿化

首次在新疆谢米斯台地区玄武岩中发现自然铜矿化,伴生自然银。同时在区内酸性次火山岩中发现黄铜矿、斑铜矿矿化。自然铜矿化主要发育于蚀变玄武岩及其中的晚期热液脉中,矿化与绿帘石化、碳酸盐化、葡萄石化、沸石化、硅化等关系密切。初步研究表明,区内自然铜、自然银矿化与火山热液作用有关,属于火山岩型;黄铜矿、斑铜矿矿化属于斑岩型。谢米斯台地区可能存在多种铜矿化类型,有望取得铜矿找矿新突破。     

滇-黔边境鲁甸沿河铜矿床的发现与峨眉山大火成岩省找矿新思路

滇-黔边境鲁甸沿河铜矿床矿化受二叠纪玄武岩最上部古火山口相角砾凝灰岩-气孔状熔岩和上覆宣威组碳泥质层控制。矿石矿物主要为自然铜、氧化铜与辉铜矿。自然铜呈板片状、网脉状、浸染状产出。矿化与阳起石化、沥青化、硅化和沸石化密切相关。在峨眉山大火成岩省寻找沿河式铜矿应关注以下重要问题：①地球化学急变带所确定的岩石圈不连续界面控制了峨眉山玄武岩裂隙式喷发；②古火山口相从苦橄质到安山质高分异岩浆喷发；③火山口环境联系下的贫硫、贫酸根同生热液活动；④富有机质地层中有机-无机相互作用所产生的强还原性环境；⑤脆韧性断裂带的发育导致矿体的进一步富化。     

滇东北发现新类型具工业价值铜矿床

近半年来 ,973项目组在滇东北鲁甸、威宁、宣威一带 ,通过 3次野外工作发现了氧化铜＿自然铜工业矿体和广泛的矿化点受二叠纪峨眉山玄武岩组最上部层位古火山口环境和上覆宣威组碳泥质层控制 ,产于火山角砾岩、凝灰岩、含碳硅质岩、硅质沥青岩和气孔状熔岩中。矿石矿物主要为黑铜矿、自然铜、硅孔雀石、辉铜矿。经野外调查和实地追索取样分析 ,已确定并控制了两个具工业勘查前景的矿段。第一矿段位于鲁甸县的小寨向斜构造北西翼的中段。控制矿体长 15 0 0ｍ ,厚 4～ 2 0ｍ ,矿石Ｃｕ平均品位 1.5 %。第二矿段位于小寨向斜构造南东翼的南端。…     

新疆谢米斯台地区斑岩型铜矿化的发现及其意义

继在新疆谢米斯台地区玄武岩中发现自然铜矿化后,在谢米斯台地区中-酸性次火山岩中发现具有一定规模的斑岩型铜矿化。原生硫化物主要为黄铜矿、黄铁矿和斑铜矿。斑岩型铜矿化主要发育于蚀变的英安斑岩、流纹斑岩和安山玢岩中,矿化岩石中发育强烈的绿帘石化、绿泥石化、碳酸盐化、硅化,局部发育泥化。区内斑岩型铜矿化的发现,表明新疆谢米斯台地区存在两种类型铜矿化,有望取得铜矿找矿新突破。矿化次火山岩及其下部的浅成侵入体可能是区内斑岩型铜矿床找矿评价的重要目标。     

湖南麻阳砂岩自然铜矿床元素地球化学及其成因意义

麻阳铜矿床(又称九曲湾铜矿床)位于湖南省沅麻盆地中段南部,其南部靠近雪峰山,开采历史悠久,是一类十分罕见的产于砂岩中的自然铜矿床。含矿岩系主要为上白垩统锦江组,矿体呈层状或似层状产出,少数为短距离内尖灭的透镜体,严格受灰白-灰绿色砂岩控制;矿化主要以胶结物产出,自然铜占总资源量的90%左右。测试了麻阳铜矿不同工作面的红色粉砂岩、自然铜砂岩(矿石)、辉铜矿砂岩(矿石)及自然铜、辉铜矿的常量元素和微量元素含量,应用Spearman秩相关分析对数据进行统计分析。结合矿物组合特点认为,与Cu有较强正相关的Fe、Ag、As、Ba、Sr等元素对矿化形成条件有指示意义。铜矿化的形成与成岩期热液活动有着密切联系,流体可能来源于低温、弱还原的地下水。     

Hydrogen and carbon in solid solution in oxides and silicates

The dissolution of H₂O and CO₂ in structurally dense, nominally anhydrous and non-carbonate oxide matrices such as MgO and CaO is reviewed. H₂O and CO₂ are treated as gaseous oxide components which enter into solid solution with the refractory oxide hosts. They form anion complexes associated with cation vacancy sites. Evidence is presented that OH^? pairs which derive from the dissolution of H₂O are subject to a charge transfer (CT) conversion into peroxy moieties and molecular hydrogen, O ₂ ^2? ... H₂. Because the O ₂ ^2? moiety is small (O^?-O^? distance ≈ 1.5 Å) high pressure probably favors the CT conversion. Mass spectroscopic studies show that molecular H₂ may be lost from the solid which retains excess oxygen in the form of O ₂ ^2? , leading to the release of atomic O. The dissociation of O ₂ ^2? moieties into a vacancy-bound O^? state and an unbound O^? state can be followed by measuring the internal redox reactions involving transition metal impurities, the transient paramagnetism of the O^? and their effect on the d.c. conductivity. Evidence is presented that CO₂ molecules dissolve dissociatively in the structurally dense oxide matrix, as if they were first to dissociate into CO+O and then to form separate solute moieties CO ₂ ^2? and O ₂ ^2? , both associated with cation vacancy sites. In the CO ₂ ^2? moiety (C-O^? distance 1.2–1.3 Å, OCO angle ≈ 130°) the C atom probably sits off center. The transition of the C atom into interstitial sites is accompanied by dissociation of the CO ₂ ^2? moiety into CO^? and O^?. This transition can be followed by infrared spectroscopy, using OH^? as local probes. Further support derives from magnetic susceptibility, thermal expansion, low frequency dielectric loss and low temperature deformation measurements. The recently observed emission of O and Mg atoms besides a variety of molecules such as CO, CO₂, CH₄, HCN and other hydrocarbons during impact fracture of MgO single crystals is presented and discussed in the light of the other experimental data.     

Comparative urbanization in Ghana and Kenya in time and space

There are few inter-African country urban analyses because of the continent’s enormous size and socioeconomic diversity, language barriers, and wide variations in national and regional urban research capacity. Nevertheless, comparative urban studies are critical in understanding contemporary African urbanization. In this comparative spatial and temporal analysis of Ghana and Kenya’s urbanization, we find that both countries are urbanizing rapidly and are faced with many common urban problems. Moreover, Ghana is more urbanized than Kenya and has a larger indigenous urban imprint and a more widely dispersed urban pattern. Besides their physiographic and population conditions, we trace these countries’ convergent and divergent urban trends to their shared but unique experiences of colonialism, nationalism and globalization.     

岩溶地区现代土壤与洞穴石笋中单甲基支链烷烃与烷基环己烷对比研究

利用GC-MS（气相色谱—质谱仪）,对采自湖北清江流域和尚洞洞顶的土壤样品与洞内石笋样品进行分析,发现土壤中存在的七个系列单甲基支链烷烃在所有的石笋样品中均可以找到,呈现相似的分布模式,石笋中七个系列支链烷烃有可能来自洞穴滴水携带的土壤中的支链烷烃,但是也不能排除石笋原地生长的微生物的贡献。烷基环己烷的分布在土壤与石笋中呈现了相似的分布模式,但是主峰碳数有所变化,高碳数部分与低碳数部分的相对含量也发生了变化。主要原因可能是微生物选择性降解的结果,也有可能是土壤与石笋中微生物种类分布差异所造成的。本次研究初步显示了相对封闭稳定的洞穴沉积物与上覆土壤层中生物标志化合物的异同。

Re-Os and Pd-Ag systematics in Group IIIAB irons and in pallasites

Using improved analytical techniques, which reduce the Re blanks by factors of 8 to 10, we report new Re-Os data on low Re and low PGE pallasites (PAL-anom) and IIIAB irons. The new pallasite samples nearly double the observed range in Re/Os for pallasites and allow the determination of an isochron of slope 0.0775 ± 0.0008 (T = 4.50 ± 0.04 Ga, using the adjusted λ¹⁸⁷Re = 1.66 × 10⁻¹¹ a⁻¹) and initial (¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os)₀ = 0.09599 ± 0.00046. If the data on different groups of pallasites (including the “anomalous” pallasites) are considered to define a whole-rock isochron, their formation would appear to be distinctly younger than for the iron meteorites by ∼60 Ma. Five IIIAB irons (Acuna, Bella Roca, Chupaderos, Grant, and Bear Creek), with Re contents ranging from 0.9 to 2.8 ppb, show limited Re/Os fractionation and plot within errors on the IIAB iron meteorite isochron of slope 0.07848 ± 0.00018 (T = 4.56 ± 0.01 Ga) and initial (¹⁸⁷Os/¹⁸⁸Os)₀ = 0.09563 ± 0.00011. Many of the meteorites were analyzed also for Pd-Ag and show ¹⁰⁷Ag enrichments correlated with Pd/Ag, requiring early formation and fractionation of the FeNi metal, in a narrow time interval, after injection of live ¹⁰⁷Pd (t_1/2 = 6.5 Ma) into the solar nebula. Based on Pd-Ag, the typical range in relative ages of these meteorites is ≤10 Ma. The Pd-Ag results suggest early formation and preservation of the ¹⁰⁷Pd-¹⁰⁷Ag systematics, both for IIIAB irons and for pallasites, while the younger Re-Os apparent age for pallasites suggests that the Re-Os system in pallasites was subject to re-equilibration. The low Re and low PGE pallasites show significant Re/Os fractionation (higher Re/Os) as the Re and PGE contents decrease. By contrast, the IIIAB irons show a restricted range in Re/Os, even for samples with extremely low Re and PGE contents. There is a good correlation of Re and Ir contents. The correlation of Re and Os contents for IIIAB irons shows a similar complex pattern as observed for IIAB irons (Morgan et al., 1995), and neither can be ascribed to a continuous fractional crystallization process with uniform solid-metal/liquid-metal distribution coefficients.     

Geogenic and anthropogenic zinc in epiphytic and terricolous lichens in Finland

At 31 sites in Finland the Zn content was determined of the epiphytic lichen Hypogymnia physodes (L.) Nyl. growing on pine and birch, the terricolous lichen Cladina spp. in pine bark, and the inner part of birch bark. The anomalous contents of Zn in H. physodes on pine and Cladina spp. in soil appeared to be strongly related to sulphide ore deposits. Anthropogenic Zn correlated closely with S and Fe in H. physodes on pine and with Fe in Cladina spp. The binding of geogenic Zn was related to iron hydroxides, and was attributed to the different uptake mechanism of S in these lichens. Elevated values of Zn in H. physodes on birch were due to both geogenic and anthropogenic sources. Zinc in pine bark increased with the Zn content in H. physodes and reached a limiting value.     

Amphibole and chlorite in mafic and ultramafic rocks in the lower crust and upper mantle

Stabilities of amphibole and chlorite in mafic and ultramafic compositions have been considered in the model system CaO+MgO+Al₂O₃+SiO₂+H₂O. From topological arguments two petrogenetic grids have been constructed. Although available experimental data in CMASH are compatible with the grid in which amphibole reacts out before chlorite in model ultramafic compositions for the pressure range 6 to 15 kbar, naturally observed mineral assemblages and some experimental data in more complex systems favour the other grid in which chlorite reacts out before amphibole at all pressures. This discrepancy between natural and model systems is due to differential movement of the dehydration equilibria of the two hydrates reflecting the variation of activity of H₂O or of components other than CMASH.     

Water-extractable and exchangeable phosphate in Martian and carbonaceous chondrite meteorites and in planetary soil analogs

Aqueous extraction contributes to the formation and weathering of planetary materials and renders electrolytes such as phosphate available for biology. In this context, the solubility of phosphate is measured in planetary materials, represented by the Mars meteorites Nakhla, Dar al Gani 476 (DaG 476), Elephant Morraine 79001 (EETA 79001), and terrestrial analogs, and in the Murchison CM2 and Allende CV3 carbonaceous chondrites. The Mars meteorites contain high levels of phosphate that is readily extracted by water, up to 15 mg kg⁻¹ in Nakhla and DaG 476 and 38 mg kg⁻¹ in EETA 79001, while the terrestrial analogs and the carbonaceous chondrites contain 0.5 to 6 mg kg⁻¹. Correspondingly, high phosphate concentrations of 4 to >28 mg L⁻¹ are obtained in extracts of the Mars meteorites at high solid/solution ratios, exceeding the concentrations of 0.4 to 2.0 mg L⁻¹ in the extracts of the terrestrial analogs. A wide range of planetary conditions, including N₂ and CO₂ atmospheres, solid/solution ratios of 0.01 to 1.0 kg L⁻¹, extraction times of 1 to 21 d, and temperatures of 20 to 121°C affect the amounts of extractable phosphate by factors of only 2 to 5 in most materials. Phosphate-fixing capacity and exchangeable phosphate are assessed by the isotopic exchange kinetics (IEK) method, which quantifies the amount of P isotopically exchangeable within 1 min (E_1min) and between 1 min and 3 months (E_1min-3m) and the amount of P that cannot be exchanged within 3 months (E_>3m). The IEK results show that the DaG 476 Mars meteorite and terrestrial analogs have low P-fixing capacities, while the carbonaceous chondrites have high P-fixing capacities. Aqueous processing under early planetary CO₂ atmospheres has large effects on the available phosphate. For example, the fraction of total P that is exchangeable in 3 months increases from 1.6 to 11%, 13 to 51.6%, and 43.9 to 90.4% in the DaG 476 Mars meteorite, Allende, and Murchison, respectively. The results show that solutions with high phosphate concentrations can form in the pores of planetary lava ash and basalts and in carbonaceous asteroids and meteorites. These solutions can help prebiotic synthesis and early microbial nutrition. The Martian and carbonaceous chondrite materials contain sufficient phosphate for space-based agriculture.     

Discovery of Cinnabar in Soils in Hg Anomalous Zones in City and Town Areas and Their Surroundings and Its Significance

As a result of systematic study on heavy minerals in soils at city and town areas and their surroundings,cinnabar was discovered for the first time in areas of Hg anomalies in China, and it was found that the distribution of cinnabar was basically coincident in scope with that of Hg anomalies, showing that Hg anomalies were‘closely related to cinnabar. This finding provides a theoretical basis for a verification of Hg anomalies in soils in city and town areas and their surroundings, as well as evaluation of its ecological effects, and is significant to revealing the occurrence modes and origin of Hg in soils.     

Temporal and spatial variations in water discharge and sediment load in the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi Rivers in Himalaya, India

The Alaknanda and Bhagirathi Rivers originate in the mountainous regions of the Himalayas (Garhwal) and result in high sediment yields causing flood hazards downstream of the Ganga River and high sediment flux to the Bay of Bengal. The rivers are perennial, since runoff in these rivers is controlled by both precipitation and glacial melt. In the present study, three locations in the upper reaches of the Ganga River were monitored for 1 yr (daily observations of, more than >1000 samples) for suspended sediment concentrations. In addition, more than one hundred samples were collected from various locations of the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi Rivers at different periods to observe spatial and temporal variations in river suspensions. Further, multi-annual data (up to 40 yrs) of water flow and sediment concentrations were used for inferring the variations in water flow and sediment loads on longer time scales. In most previous studies of Himalayan Rivers, there has been a general lack of long term water flow and sediment load data. In the present study, we carried out high frequency sampling, considered long term discharge data and based on these information, discussed the temporal and spatial variations in water discharge and sediment loads in the rivers in the Himalayan region. The results show that, >75% of annual sediment loads are transported during the monsoon season (June through September). The annual physical weathering rates in the Alaknanda and Bhagirathi River basins at Devprayag are estimated to be 863 tons km⁻² yr⁻¹ (3.25 mm yr⁻¹) and 907 tons km⁻² yr⁻¹ (3.42 mm yr⁻¹) respectively, which are far in excess of the global average of 156 tons km⁻² yr⁻¹ (0.58 mm yr⁻¹).
