东菲律宾海新型铁锰结壳中元素的赋存状态

为了解东菲律宾海新型铁锰结壳中元素的赋存状态, 采用化学提取方法对3个结壳样品进行了物相分析.不同类型结壳中成矿和稀土元素的赋存状态总体一致, 表明它们形成于相近的地质和海洋环境中.成矿元素中的Fe和Cu绝大部分赋存在残渣态中, Mn、Co和Ni则主要赋存在锰氧化物结合态、有机结合态和残渣态中, 并且埋藏型结壳样品锰氧化物结合态中赋存了相对更高比例的成矿元素.三价稀土元素主要集中在锰氧化物结合态中.两个沉积物表层结壳样品中的Ce主要集中在残渣态中.而埋藏型结壳样品中的Ce则主要赋存在锰氧化物结合态中, 这可能与该样品此相态中赋存了相对较多的Mn有关.呈碳酸盐结合态和有机结合态的稀土元素含量仅各占稀土总量的1%左右, 表明两者对结壳中稀土元素的富集作用很小.      

呼和浩特市大气降尘中镉赋存形态分析

采用Tessier连续提取法对呼和浩特市不同区域的9个大气降尘样品中镉的赋存形态进行了研究。结果表明,各形态含量在总镉中所占比例由大到小排列顺序依次是:铁锰氧化物结合态>残渣态>碳酸盐结合态>强有机结合态>可交换态。大气降尘中镉的5种形态占总镉的平均质量分数由大到小为:铁锰氧化物结合态31.80%,残渣态24.42%,碳酸盐结合态19.04%,强有机结合态14.61%,可交换态10.13%;铁锰氧化物结合态是主要存在形态;铁锰氧化物结合态镉、有机结合态镉、残留态镉这三种形态镉生物有效性很低,但当环境改变时可能发生镉释放,应予以关注。汽油和煤的燃烧以及工厂排放镉能加大城市大气降尘中的镉含量。     

龙感湖稀土元素的地球化学特征

采用液-液萃取法,连续提取法和ICP-MS测试技术,对龙感湖不同季节水和颗粒物中稀土元素进行研究.结果表明,龙感湖的溶解态稀土含量极低,稀土总含量(ΣREE)在3.14～129.81ng/kg之间,且季节性变化明显.龙感湖溶解态稀土元素表现出平坦型的页岩配分模式,这是由于在草型湖泊中溶解态稀土主要以吸附在微细胶体上的形式存在,水粒相互作用在这个过程中起主要控制作用.悬浮物中的稀土含量顺序为:残渣态>>Fe-Mn结合态>>有机态和AEC态,颗粒物中稀土元素主要以残渣态形式存在.Fe-Mn结合态、有机态和AEC态的页岩配分模式为中稀土富集,残渣态的页岩配分模式为平坦型.这说明中稀土与轻重稀土相比具有更强的潜在地球化学活性,但在龙感湖的环境中的迁移能力相对轻重稀土来说较弱.     

贵州平坝白云岩风化壳稀土超常富集层中稀土赋存状态的研究

以平坝白云岩风化壳剖面为例,主要利用化学连续提取的方法,结合透射电镜的分析,对碳酸盐岩风化壳岩-土界面附近的稀土超常富集层中REE的赋存状态进行了研究,获得了REE在水溶态及可交换态(相态Ⅰ)、碳酸盐结合态及专性吸附态(相态Ⅱ)、非晶质氧化铁锰结合态(相态Ⅲ)、晶质氧化铁锰结合态(相态Ⅳ)、有机质及硫化物结合态(相态Ⅴ)和残渣态(相态Ⅵ)等6种相态的含量及变化规律.结果表明,REE在富集层中主要以专性吸附态、残渣态和有机态为主.风化前缘可溶态稀土所占比例较高,为稀土在风化壳中的迁移、转化提供可能;基岩中原生含磷稀土矿物的风化产生的稀土磷酸盐矿物的聚集导致了残渣态稀土大量存在于风化前缘;此外,由于风化淋溶的不断进行,可溶态的REE在高的pH值条件与剖面中的有机质、铁锰氧化物和粘土矿物共同作用下沉淀、富集,也导致了风化前缘稀土的超常富集.     

岩溶区典型石灰土Cd形态指示意义及风险评价——以桂林毛村为例

为了了解岩溶区石灰土中重金属Cd形态分配特征及富集情况,在桂林毛村采集了3种处于不同发育阶段的黑色、棕色和红色石灰土进行研究。通过原子光谱仪测试了Cd质量分数,运用改进的Tessier分析法测定了3种石灰土中Cd的可交换态(EXC)、碳酸盐结合态(CAB)、铁锰氧化物结合态(OXI)、有机结合态(ORG)、残渣态(RES)5种形态,并对其指示意义及风险进行了分析与评价,结果表明,3种石灰土中Cd质量分数从大到小依次为早期黑色石灰土、中期棕色石灰土、晚期红色石灰土。形态测试结果表明:黑色石灰土和棕色石灰土中Cd形态以铁锰氧化态和残渣态为主,占土壤Cd质量分数的63%以上,且5种形态质量分数从大到小顺序均为铁锰氧化态、残渣态、可交换态、碳酸盐结合态、有机结合态;红色石灰土Cd形态以残渣态为主,占土壤Cd质量分数的76%,形态分配特征从大到小为残渣态、铁锰氧化态、可交换态、碳酸盐结合态、有机结合态。Cd稳定度和富集程度评价结果表明:在黑色石灰土、棕色石灰土和红色石灰土中Cd稳定度逐渐减小,环境二次释放风险逐渐降低;富集程度从大到小依次为黑色石灰土、棕色石灰土、红色石灰土,其中Cd在黑色石灰土中呈显著富集状态,在棕色石灰土中呈中度富集状态,在红色石灰土中呈轻微富集状态。潜在生态风险评价和健康风险评价结果表明,由早期黑色石灰土到中期棕色石灰土和晚期红色石灰土,土壤中Cd的生态风险和健康风险均逐渐降低。研究结果可为岩溶区土壤重金属Cd污染修复与治理提供基础数据。     

煤矸石中汞和砷的赋存形态研究

对煤矸石中汞、砷的赋存形态进行研究,可以为煤矸石发电过程中汞、砷的脱除提供理论依据。采用逐级化学浸提法将3个不同产地煤矸石中汞、砷的赋存形态分为可交换态、碳酸盐结合态、铁锰结合态、硫化物结合态、有机结合态和残渣态。采用不同的浸提溶液得到对应结合态的测试结果。结果表明,煤矸石中汞、砷的赋存形态具有一定的相似性。煤矸石中汞、砷主要以硫化物结合态为主,其质量分数占总汞的67.66%~72.68%,占总砷的56.71%~79.36%;其次为残渣态,其质量分数占总汞的23.70%~28.06%,占总砷的11.47%~18.02%。另外在煤矸石中砷还以少量有机结合态形式存在。      

离子吸附型稀土矿床中稀土的富集—分异特征:铁氧化物—黏土矿物复合体的约束

在离子吸附型稀土矿床中,黏土矿物被认为是离子吸附态稀土的主要吸附载体。风化壳中黏土矿物的透射电镜分析发现,黏土矿物普遍与铁氧化物形成复合体,很可能对稀土元素的富集–分异产生重要影响。本研究以广东省梅州市平远县仁居矿区的典型离子吸附型稀土矿床剖面为对象,通过提取富矿层中的细颗粒组分,采用X射线衍射、穆斯堡尔谱和透射电镜,对黏土矿物–铁氧化物复合体进行物相和形貌分析;在此基础上,采用顺序提取法测定不同化学形态的稀土总量,探究黏土矿物和铁氧化物对稀土元素富集–分异的贡献。结果表明,从全风化层到表土层,复合物从长石/伊利石–水铁矿/针铁矿复合体到高岭石/埃洛石–针铁矿/赤铁矿复合体,最终向高岭石–赤铁矿复合体转变。在表土层和全风化层的细颗粒组分中,离子交换态稀土约占25%和80%,而铁氧化物结合态稀土约占75%和20%。在表土层中, Ce的富集导致离子交换态和铁氧化物结合态稀土均富轻稀土。在全风化层中,随着深度的增加,离子交换态稀土由富轻稀土转变为富重稀土,铁氧化物结合态稀土均表现富重稀土的分异特征。离子交换态稀土总量和分异特征主要受黏土矿物–稀土界面作用和淋滤作用控制;而铁氧化物结合态稀土总...     

富硒土壤镉的赋存状态

采用7步提取法对某地富硒土壤样品进行镉的形态分析,发现镉质量分数较高,镉平均为0.374 mg/kg,最高为0.943 mg/kg。各形态含量差异较大,基本是残渣态离子交换态铁锰氧化物结合态腐殖酸结合态强有机结合态碳酸盐态水溶态,在7种形态中以残渣态、离子交换态、铁锰氧化物结合态3种形态占主导。     

典型稀土矿区周边土壤中稀土元素含量及赋存形态研究

研究不同类型稀土矿区周边土壤中稀土元素(REE)的含量与形态特征,可为矿区周边污染环境治理提供理论支持与科学建议。本文采用欧盟BCR顺序提取法、电感耦合等离子体质谱测定的方法,对内蒙古白云鄂博稀土尾矿区和江西赣南稀土矿区周边6个土壤样品中15种稀土元素进行了含量及形态分析测定。结果表明:矿区周边土壤中稀土元素总量约为264～15955μg/g,明显高于全国土壤背景值(186μg/g),白云鄂博尾矿区周边土壤富集轻稀土元素,稀土元素主要以残渣态富集,占总含量的64.0%～89.4%,生物有效性较低,对环境影响较小;赣南矿区周边土壤富集重稀土元素,稀土元素的主要存在形式是弱酸提取态和可还原态,占总含量的70%以上,易发生迁移转化及对周边环境造成污染。土壤中稀土元素的形态分布与pH值有显著相关性,随着土壤pH值的降低,稀土元素的弱酸提取态含量不断升高,残渣态含量不断降低。     

岩溶区与非岩溶区不同土地利用方式下土壤Zn元素形态分析

本文采用连续提取法,对岩溶区与非岩溶区农田和林地两种土地利用形式下土壤中Zn元素形态进行了分级提取。测定结果表明,土壤中Zn元素主要以残渣态(占总量68. 5%～ 85. 0% )存在。此外,岩溶区农田、林地石灰土中Zn元素相对活泼态,即离子交换态(包括水溶态)、碳酸盐结合态、腐殖酸结合态(松结有机结合态)的含量均比非岩溶区对应的要低,而相对稳定态,即铁锰氧化物结合态、强有机结合态(包括部分硫化物态)的含量均比非岩溶区相对应的要高,残渣态含量与相对稳定态具有相同的趋势。这意味着岩溶土壤地球化学环境对土壤Zn的迁移、富集、形态转换具有明显的影响。长期耕种下岩溶区和非岩溶区土壤均会出现缺Zn状况,岩溶区情况更为严重。而适宜的土壤改良措施,可望提高土壤有效Zn形态的含量。      

麦哲伦海山群MK海山富钴结壳稀土元素的赋存相态

利用ICP-OES和ICP-MS,分析了麦哲伦海山群西北端MK海山2 170 m水深的MKD23B-3号富钴结壳样品,获得了其剖面上主元素、稀土元素（REE）和Y含量数据,并基于元素含量间的线性相关关系,研究了REE和Y的赋存相态。结果显示:该样品剖面从基岩到表面可划分为5层,第Ⅰ、Ⅱ层为磷酸盐化壳层,第Ⅲ、Ⅳ、Ⅴ层为未磷酸盐化壳层。在未磷酸盐化壳层中,REE和Y主要赋存在δ-MnO₂相中;而在磷酸盐化壳层中,REE和Y除了赋存在Fe、Mn氧化物相中外,主要赋存在独立于碳氟磷灰石（CFA）的矿物相态中,可能为稀土的磷酸盐。并提出利用磷酸盐中REE/Y 估算富钴结壳磷酸盐化壳层次生稀土的方法,据此估算了MK海山富钴结壳磷酸盐化壳层次生稀土的量。在该样品中,次生稀土占稀土总量的42%~88%,近一半以上的稀土是次生的,磷酸盐化作用对于REE和Y的次生富集具有显著的贡献;因此解读磷酸盐化富钴结壳的稀土元素（特别是Nd同位素）古海洋记录必须排除次生稀土元素的干扰。     

Global occurrence of tellurium-rich ferromanganese crusts and a model for the enrichment of tellurium

Hydrogenetic ferromanganese oxyhydroxide crusts (Fe-Mn crusts) precipitate out of cold ambient ocean water onto hard-rock surfaces (seamounts, plateaus, ridges) at water depths of about 400 to 4000 m throughout the ocean basins. The slow-growing (mm/Ma) Fe-Mn crusts concentrate most elements above their mean concentration in the Earth’s crust. Tellurium is enriched more than any other element (up to about 50,000 times) relative to its Earth’s crustal mean of about 1 ppb, compared with 250 times for the next most enriched element.We analyzed the Te contents for a suite of 105 bulk hydrogenetic crusts and 140 individual crust layers from the global ocean. For comparison, we analyzed 10 hydrothermal stratabound Mn-oxide samples collected from a variety of tectonic environments in the Pacific. In the Fe-Mn crust samples, Te varies from 3 to 205 ppm, with mean contents for Pacific and Atlantic samples of about 50 ppm and a mean of 39 ppm for Indian crust samples. Hydrothermal Mn samples have Te contents that range from 0.06 to 1 ppm. Continental margin Fe-Mn crusts have lower Te contents than open-ocean crusts, which is the result of dilution by detrital phases and differences in growth rates of the hydrogenetic phases.Correlation coefficient matrices show that for hydrothermal deposits, Te has positive correlations with elements characteristic of detrital minerals. In contrast, Te in open-ocean Fe-Mn crusts usually correlates with elements characteristic of the MnO₂, carbonate fluorapatite, and residual biogenic phases. In continental margin crusts, Te also correlates with FeOOH associated elements. In addition, Te is negatively correlated with water depth of occurrence and positively correlated with crust thickness. Q-mode factor analyses support these relationships. However, sequential leaching results show that most of the Te is associated with FeOOH in Fe-Mn crusts and ≤10% is leached with the MnO₂.Thermodynamic calculations indicate that Te occurs predominantly as H₅TeO₆⁻ in ocean water. The speciation of Te in ocean water and charge balance considerations indicate that Te should be scavenged by FeOOH, which is in agreement with our leaching results. The thermodynamically more stable Te(IV) is less abundant by factors of 2 to 3.5 than Te(VI) in ocean water. This can be explained by preferential (not exclusive) scavenging of Te(IV) by FeOOH at the Fe-Mn crust surface and by Fe-Mn colloids in the water column. We propose a model in which the extreme enrichment of Te in Fe-Mn crusts is likely the result of an oxidation reaction on the surface of FeOOH. A similar oxidation process has been confirmed for Co, Ce, and Tl at the surface of MnO₂ in crusts, but has not been suggested previously to occur in association with FeOOH in Fe-Mn crusts. Mass-balance considerations indicate that ocean floor Fe-Mn deposits are the major sink for Te in the oceans. The concentration and redox chemistry of Te in the global ocean are likely controlled by scavenging on Fe-Mn colloids in the water column and Fe-Mn deposits on the ocean floor, as is also the case for Ce.     

广东三个离子吸附型稀土矿的地球化学特征及开采现状

广东稀土资源丰富,资源种类较全,但真正具有工业意义只有离子吸附型稀土矿。已有调查表明广东富有重稀土资源,重稀土资源量约占离子吸附型稀土资源总量的1/3。广东现仅有采矿权企业三家(简称A、B、C矿区),2013年度开采指标REO(稀土氧化物含量)仅为2200吨,但离子型稀土年分离能力超万吨,供需矛盾突出。为了解广东稀土矿开采现状,本文在具备采矿证的A、B和C三个矿区采集风化壳剖面和尾砂样品,利用电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)分析稀土元素、微量元素和相关有用元素的含量,获得了一批新数据,研究矿区的地球化学特征和资源潜力。数据分析表明:1广东稀土资源非常丰富,实际资源量与现有报告评估的资源量有着极大的差别,相差两个数量级。2三个稀土矿的风化壳原矿的轻稀土/重稀土的比值为1.8~6.6,说明三个稀土矿均为轻稀土矿;只开采轻稀土矿,与市场需求和广东富有重稀土资源的情况都不相符,年稀土开采指标与年冶炼分离能力也存在极大缺口,无论资源类型和数量都无法满足经济对稀土资源的巨大需求,建议考虑适当增加稀土矿证和开采指标。3A矿区和C矿区的腐植层和半风化层稀土含量都不高,成矿部位在全风化层,成矿模式为浅伏式;B矿区的腐植层和全风化层稀土含量高(最高超过0.3%),为成矿部位,成矿模式为表露式。4风化壳采矿位置尚需根据市场情况调整,减少矿体的漏采,尾砂稀土资源有待回收利用。5风化壳和尾砂样品微量元素含量相对陆壳丰度,多数元素富集倍数低于10,部分元素甚至出现亏损,没有回收利用价值。     

赣南峰山离子型稀土矿床成矿机理探讨

以赣南大埠岩体西部峰山钻孔风化壳剖面为研究对象,在风化壳剖面各层地质特征研究的基础上,对风化壳剖面各层中含稀土矿物开展了扫描电镜和电子探针分析,探讨了风化壳剖面各层主、微量（包括稀土）元素和离子相稀土元素特征。研究表明,风化壳中稀土元素呈“弓背式”分布,矿体位于风化壳剖面2~9 m,w(REE)平均为516.8×10^-6,离子相稀土元素浸出率为51%~84%,离子相与全项稀土元素总量分布特征一致。风化壳中稀土元素主要以离子吸附态形式和独立矿物（次生方铈矿和风化残余的磷钇矿、褐钇铌矿）形式存在,以离子吸附态形式为主。峰山风化壳离子吸附型稀土矿为轻、重稀土元素共生型稀土矿,以重稀土元素占主导,矿体上部相对富集轻稀土元素,下部相对富集重稀土元素。风化壳剖面中稀土元素的富集分异主要受轻重稀土元素地球化学行为的差异性、风化程度和黏土矿物含量联合控制。

Phase associations and potential selective extraction methods for selected high-tech metals from ferromanganese nodules and crusts with siderophores

Deep-sea ferromanganese deposits contain a wide range of economically important metals. Ferromanganese crusts and nodules represent an important future resource, since they not only contain base metals such as Mn, Ni, Co, Cu and Zn, but are also enriched in critical or rare high-technology elements such as Li, Mo, Nb, W, the rare earth elements and yttrium (REY). These metals could be extracted from nodules and crusts as a by-product to the base metal production. However, there are no proper separation techniques available that selectively extract certain metals out of the carrier phases. By sequential leaching, we demonstrated that, except for Li, which is present in an easily soluble form, all other high-tech metals enriched in ferromanganese nodules and crusts are largely associated with the Fe-oxyhydroxide phases and only to subordinate extents with Mn-oxide phases. Based on this fact, we conducted selective leaching experiments with the Fe-specific organic ligand desferrioxamine-B, a naturally occurring and ubiquitous siderophore. We showed by leaching of ferromanganese nodules and crusts with desferrioxamine-B that a significant and selective extraction of high-tech metals such as Li, Mo, Zr, Hf and Ta is possible, while other elements like Fe and the base metals Mn, Ni, Cu, Co and Zn are not extracted to large extents. The set of selectively extracted elements can be extended to Nb and W if Mn and carbonate phases are stripped from the bulk nodule or crust prior to the siderophore leach by e.g. a sequential leaching technique. This combination of sequential leaches with a siderophore leach enhanced the extraction to 30–50% of each Mo, Nb, W and Ta from a mixed type Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) nodule and 40–80% from a diagenetic Peru Basin nodule, whilst only 5–10% Fe and even less Mn are extracted from the nodules. Li is extracted to about 60% from the CCZ nodule and a maximum of 80% Li is extracted from the Peru Basin nodule.Our pilot work on selective extraction of high-tech metals from marine ferromanganese nodules and crusts showed that specific metal-binding organic ligands may have promising potential in future processing technologies of these oxide deposits.     

Comparison between Datangpo-type manganese ores and modern marine ferromanganese oxyhydroxide precipitates based on rare earth elements

Datangpo-type sedimentary manganese deposits, which are located in northeastern Guizhou province and its adjacent areas, are Mn carbonate-type deposits hosted in black carbonaceous shale that represent a series of medium to large deposits containing a huge tonnage of reserves. PAAS-normalized rare earth element distribution patterns of manganese ores record “hat-shaped” REY (REE + Y) plots characterized by pronounced middle rare earth element enrichment, evident positive Ce anomalies, weak to strong positive Eu anomalies and negligible negative Y anomalies. These REY geochemical characteristics are different from those of country rocks and record the processes and features of sedimentation and diagenesis. Manganese was precipitated as Mn-oxyhydroxide particles in oxidized water columns with the sorption of a certain amount of rare earth elements, subsequently transforming from Mn-oxyhydroxides to rhodochrosite and redistributing REY in reducing alkaline pore-water during early diagenesis. A number of similarities can be observed through a comparison of Datangpo-type manganese ores and modern marine ferromanganese oxyhydroxide precipitates based on their rare earth elements. The precipitation of Datangpo-type manganese ores is similar to that of hydrogenetic crusts and nodules based on their positive Ce anomalies and relatively higher total REY concentrations. However, several differences also exist. Compared to hydrogenetic crusts and nodules, Datangpo-type manganese ores record smaller positive Ce anomalies, lower total REY concentrations, unobvious fractionation between Y and Ho, and weak to strong positive Eu anomalies. These were caused by quicker sedimentary rates in the oxic water columns of the shallower basin, after which pore water became strongly reducing and alkaline due to the degradation of organic matter in the early diagenetic stage. In addition, compared to typical deposits in the world, Datangpo-type manganese ores are similar to hydrogenetic deposits and different than hydrothermal deposits. All of these characteristics of manganese ores indicate that Datangpo-type manganese ores, the principal metallogenic factors of which include oxidation conditions during deposition and reducing conditions during early diagenetic stages, represent hydrogenetic deposits.     

Compositional variation and genesis of ferromanganese crusts of the Afanasiy—Nikitin Seamount, Equatorial Indian Ocean

Eight ferromanganese crusts (Fe-Mn crusts) with igneous and sedimentary substrates collected at different water depths from the Afanasiy-Nikitin Seamount are studied for their bulk major, minor and rare earth element composition. The Mn/Fe ratios < 1.5 indicate the hydrogenetic accretion of the Fe-Mn hydroxides. These Fe-Mn crusts are enriched in Co (up to 0.9%, average ∼ 0.5%) and Ce. The Ce-content is the highest reported so far (up to 3763 ppm, average ∼ 2250 ppm) for global ocean seamount Fe-Mn crusts. In spite of general similarity in the range of major, minor, and strictly trivalent rare earth element composition, the dissimilarity between the present Fe-Mn crusts and the Pacific seamount Fe-Mn crusts in Co and Ce associations with major mineral phases indicates inter-oceanic heterogeneity and region-specific conditions responsible for their enrichment. The decrease in Ce-anomaly (from ∼ 8 to ∼ 1.5) with increasing water depth (from ∼ 1.7 km to ∼ 3.2 km) might suggest that the modern intermediate depth low oxygen layer was shifted and sustained at a deeper depth for a long period in the past.     

西太平洋海山富钴结壳的稀土和铂族元素特征及其意义

为了探讨富钴结壳的稀土和铂族元素是否有相似的形成机制,对西太平洋海山富钴结壳稀土和铂族元素进行了类比研究.结果表明:富钴结壳的∑REY范围为1 433.7×10-6~2 888.0×10-6,其中Ce占到近50%,北美页岩标准化后显示较平坦的稀土模式和显著的Ce正异常特征.根据稀土配分模式及已有的Nd同位素结果,富钴结壳具有亲陆壳属性.富钴结壳具有极高的Pt (115.5×10-9~1 132.0×10-9)、(Pt/Pd)_N和 (Pt/Os)_N值,Ir与Pt及Rh与Pt显示良好相关性.经球粒陨石标准化后显示较一致PGE (platinum-group elements) 配分模式,从Os到Pt逐渐富集,Pd元素强烈亏损.已有的Os同位素研究结果显示物源在地质历史时期从幔源属性向陆源属性变化,但富钴结壳PGE元素内部相对含量仍在一定程度上保持稳定.研究认为:富钴结壳对海水中的稀土清扫具有选择性,Ce的正异常恰恰是结壳对海水稀土中Ce的优先选择造成的,从而导致海水亏损Ce.然而海水中Ce的亏损并未改变新形成富钴结壳的稀土模式,原因是在海洋中存在适量的具有亏损Ce特征的磷酸盐等组分,理论上只需要氧化物类稀土与磷酸盐类稀土消耗的稀土与海水中的补给平衡即可.只是在相关过程中,海洋中氧化物类对稀土的选择更具有主动性,而磷酸盐类表现更多的继承关系.尽管Os同位素显示物源供给发生变化,然而富钴结壳PGE模式相对稳定.因此富钴结壳PGE模式同样可以用富钴结壳对PGE的选择性吸收解释,因富钴结壳优先选择Pt与Ir以及相对排斥Pd和Os,形成了现有独特的PGE模式.
