开鲁盆地砂岩型铀矿中黄铁矿与铀矿化成因关系探讨

开鲁盆地位于松辽盆地西南部,是中国北方砂岩型铀矿勘查的重点地区,自钱家店铀矿床发现以来,盆地内上白垩统姚家组目的层中相继发现了一些具有工业价值的铀矿床.为查明该层位中黄铁矿成因及其形成机制,探讨其与铀矿化之间的关系,本研究对含矿层砂岩中黄铁矿与铀矿物矿物学特征、黄铁矿S同位素开展细致研究.研究表明:(1)开鲁盆地姚家组砂岩中铀主要以独立铀矿物及吸附铀形式存在,独立铀矿物以沥青铀矿为主,含少量的钛铀矿及部分铀石,多数沿黄铁矿周边生长.吸附态的铀与黏土矿物密切相关.(2)姚家组砂岩中黄铁矿主要以草莓状、胶状及粒状产出,多与沥青铀矿共生,其中黄铁矿S同位素(d34S=–55.6‰～23.2‰),平均值–20.87‰,变化范围很大,说明硫的分馏程度较高,硫的来源范围较广.(3)分析表明黄铁矿具有细菌硫酸盐还原作用及热化学硫酸盐还原作用两种成因,并探讨了这2种成因黄铁矿的形成机制.综合前人研究,结合研究区成矿地质背景,认为黄铁矿为铀成矿作用提供了发生还原反应所需要的还原剂,且黄铁矿及铀矿物的形成与区内热流体存在紧密联系.     

Factors Controlling Hydrocarbon Accumulation in Jurassic Reservoirs in the Southwest Ordos Basin,NW China

The sedimentary, paleogeomorphological and reservoir characteristics of the Jurassic Yan’an Formation in the southwestern Ordos Basin, northwestern China, were studied by means of casting thin sections, scanning electron microscopy, inclusion analysis and identification of low-amplitude structures. A model for reservoir formation is established, and the controlling effects of sedimentary facies, paleotopography, low-amplitude structures and formation water on oil reservoirs are revealed. There are significant differences in the sedimentary characteristics, structural morphology and paleowater characteristics between the reservoirs above the Yan 10 Member and those in the Yan 9 to Yan 7 Members. The Yan 10 Member contains fluvial sediments, whereas the Yan 9 to Yan 7 members contain delta-plain anastomosing-river deposits. The distribution of high-permeability reservoir is controlled by pre-Jurassic paleogeomorphology and sedimentary facies. Some of these facies exhibit high porosity and high permeability in a lowpermeability background. The main hydrocarbon accumulation period was the late Early Cretaceous, filling was continuous, and the charging strength altered from weak to strong and then from strong to weak. The Yan 10 reservoir is mainly controlled by the paleogeomorphology: hydrocarbons migrated upward at a high speed through the unconformity surface, and accumulated in the favorable traps formed by paleogeomorphic structural units, such as gentle slopes or channel island. Furthermore, groundwater alternation in these areas was relatively stagnant, providing good reservoir preservation conditions. The reservoirs in the Yan 9 and higher members are controlled by the sedimentary facies, lowamplitude structure and paleowater characteristics. Hydrocarbons migrated through the three-dimensional delivery system, influenced by favorable sedimentary facies and high-salinity groundwater, then accumulated in the favorable low-amplitude structural traps that formed during the hydrocarbon production period.     

鄂尔多斯盆地侏罗系直罗组砂岩发育特征

根据岩性旋回结构,在全盆地范围将直罗组划分为上、下两段。分段制图表明,直罗组上、下段地层厚度展布规律与全组厚度展布规律基本一致,均表现为西厚东薄;上段地层较下段厚。下段砂岩层数少、单层厚度大;而上段砂岩以层多、层薄为特点。直罗组砂岩总体成熟度较低,区域制图和碎屑组分等反映周缘存在多个源区。砂岩粒度分布表现为河道和分流河道等沉积特征。直罗组砂岩发育多种反映陆上河流沉积环境的层面和层理构造。综合分析认为,在今残留盆地范围内,直罗组下段以辫状河、曲流河沉积为主,东北部可见三角洲平原沉积。上段以辫状河、曲流河、三角洲和湖泊沉积为主。直罗组下段辫状河道砂岩具有良好的渗透性、连通性和成层性,是砂岩型铀矿和石油的良好储层。
     

鄂尔多斯盆地东胜砂岩型铀矿床成矿水化学过程探讨

为了研究鄂尔多斯盆地东胜砂岩型铀矿成矿水化学过程,利用光薄片、电子探针、X射线衍射、扫描电镜和化学分析等方法对比分析了氧化带无矿化样品、氧化还原过渡带中低矿化及高铀样品的矿物学和地球化学特征。矿物学研究表明:①所有样品中斜长石均表现出强烈粘土化和绢云母化的特征;②铀矿物主要为铀石,呈胶状吸附在矿物颗粒(部分为炭屑)表面、粒间或裂隙中;③相对氧化带,氧化还原过渡带往往含有更多的炭屑和碳酸盐胶结物。稀土元素地球化学研究表明,氧化带无矿化样品和过渡带低矿化样品表现出较平坦的低分异的稀土配分模式;而过渡带高铀含炭屑样品表现出MREE富集的配分模式,高铀富碳酸盐胶结物的样品表现出轻稀土强烈左倾、重稀土平坦的配分模式。对比分析上述差异后认为,铀成矿与水化学作用密切相关,且成矿水溶液中无机络阴离子以CO32-为主,倾向于络合UO22+和HRE3+;而阳离子主要为斜长石的粘土化释放的Ca2+和SiO44-。当水溶液从盆地边缘向中心运移时,物化环境从氧化及酸性环境向还原及碱性环境转变,此时发生铀酰离子的还原并与SiO44-沉淀形成铀石、Ca2+与CO32-沉淀形成碳酸盐以及HREE的沉淀富集。     

鄂尔多斯盆地北部巴音青格利-苏台庙地区中侏罗统直罗组下段沉积特征及其铀成矿意义

鄂尔多斯盆地北部中侏罗统直罗组下段是砂岩型铀矿的主要赋矿层位,含矿层砂体的成因类型、几何形态和物性特征约束着砂岩型铀矿矿体的规模和空间分布。前人对盆地北东部赋矿砂体的成因、三维几何形态、沉积成岩作用控制下的砂体物性特征等作了深入细致的研究,有效支撑了北东部砂岩型铀矿的高效勘探。可是陆相沉积具有相变快、地区沉积差异显著的特征,盆地北部西侧的巴音青格利-苏台庙地区J2z1的沉积环境、砂体成因和空间展布尚不明确。为了扩大找矿空间,文章基于35 口钻井5300 m 直罗组下段的岩心、测井资料,在盆地北部西侧外围地区开展了钻孔岩心观察、镜下鉴定、单井分析、连井剖面分析以及含砂率等值线分析工作。研究认为：（1） 巴音青格利-苏台庙地区直罗组下段的砂岩类型主要为中-粗粒岩屑长石砂岩和长石岩屑砂岩;（2） 研究区内主要发育三角洲平原亚相,可进一步细分为分支河道、决口扇、分流间湾以及沼泽和泥沼微相;（3） 从含矿建造、铀源特征以及构造特征分析认为研究区东部成矿潜力较大,有必要 进一步开展勘查工作。上述认识为西部外围地区的砂岩型铀矿勘探提供了地质支撑。     

自动矿物分析技术在鄂尔多斯盆地砂岩型铀矿矿物鉴定和赋存状态研究中的应用

鄂尔多斯盆地是我国重要的砂岩型铀矿成矿区之一。铀矿物赋存状态研究对砂岩型铀矿的成因认识、找矿勘查及选冶开采具有重要意义,但其矿物组成复杂,铀矿物粒度细小、种类繁多且赋存状态多样,致使研究初始的鉴定阶段就存在难点。目前普遍使用放射性照相法和电子探针（EMPA）两种方法开展铀矿物鉴定分析工作。放射性照相可一次性得到光片中所有铀矿物赋存位置、赋存状态和放射性形态,但无法鉴定矿物种类,耗时较长且需在暗室中进行;电子探针可得到铀矿物背散射图像和各元素含量,但在高倍数下薄片中寻找含量少、粒度小的铀矿物费时费力,并且在黑白背散射图像中无法快速判断伴生矿物种类。本文以鄂尔多斯盆地北缘-南缘-西缘砂岩型铀矿为研究对象,将自动矿物分析系统（AMICS）运用于砂岩型铀基础研究中,结合扫描电镜（SEM）、能谱仪（EDS）鉴定出研究区铀矿物有铀石、晶质铀矿、沥青铀矿和硅钙铀矿,黄铁矿和钛氧化物与铀矿物关系密切,识别出其他伴生矿物还有石英、金红石、长石、云母、高岭石等。本文建立的AMICS-SEM-EDS分析方法,实现了铀矿物及其共生矿物组合的快速识别鉴定和赋存状态研究。     

Geological and Geochemical Characteristics of the Zhiluo Formation in the Bayinqinggeli Uranium Deposit, Northern Ordos Basin: Significance for Uranium Mineralization

The Bayinqinggeli deposit in the northern Ordos Basin, northwestern of China, is a recently discovered sandstone-type uranium deposit. The uranium (U) orebodies are generally hosted in the lower member of the Jurassic Zhiluo Formation (Fm.), and are primarily tabular or irregular in shape. In the study area, 23 sandstone samples were collected from the Zhiluo Fm. and analyzed for major, trace, and rare earth elements (REEs). The geochemical characteristics of these sandstones are used to evaluate the factors controlling U mineralization. The source rocks of the Zhiluo Fm. sandstones are mainly volcanic and felsic magmatic rocks formed in continental arc and active continental-marginal arc environments, and they provided the material required for the mineralization. The index of compositional variability ranges from 1.02 to 3.29 (average1.38), indicating that the Zhiluo Fm. sandstones are immature and composed of first-cycle sediments. The corrected chemical index of alteration averages 56, suggesting that the source rocks underwent weak chemical weathering. The ore host rocks are loose, providing favorable conditions for epigenetic oxidation and U precipitation and enrichment. Ferrous iron in minerals such as chlorite, biotite, ilmenite, and pyrite might have played a role either in adsorbing or reducing the uranium.     

鄂尔多斯盆地东北部直罗组底部砂体成因分析--砂岩型铀矿床预测的空间定位基础

砂体的结构和规模因沉积体系的不同而异,它们对铀成矿贡献的差别很大。作者通过露头调查、钻孔岩心分析和砂分散体系制图,对鄂尔多斯盆地东北部直罗组下段进行了成因分析。研究发现,直罗组底部砂体并非传统认识上的辫状河成因。实际上,它可以分为上、下两个亚段。虽然两个亚段的物源和砂分散方向具有很好的继承性(北西-南东向),但成因完全不同。下亚段主要由辫状河体系和辫状河三角洲体系构成,其中辫状河三角洲平原构成了研究区的主体。上亚段主要由曲流河体系和(曲流河)三角洲体系构成,虽然(曲流河)三角洲平原也是研究区的主体构成部分,但是(曲流河)三角洲前缘却占据了一定的空间,这是湖泊向西北方向扩展的结果。正是由于上、下亚段成因的不同,导致了下亚段砂体具有较大的规模和较好的连通性,而上亚段砂体规模变小、非均质性增强。砂岩型铀矿勘探的实践证明,矿体主要聚集于下亚段砂体中。因此看来,上述认识可以用于砂岩型铀矿成矿规律的总结和铀成矿空间的定位。

鄂尔多斯盆地东胜地区直罗组砂岩的地球化学特征与物源分析

沉积岩物源分析对揭示盆地砂体展布、物质组成、储集层性质及砂岩型铀矿床铀源等科学问题具有重要的意义。对取自鄂尔多斯盆地东北部8个钻井中的中侏罗统直罗组砂岩进行了详细的岩石学和地球化学研究,试图鉴别岩石的源区和形成的构造环境。研究表明,砂岩以中粗粒杂砂岩为主,其w(SiO₂)值及w(Al₂O₃)/w(SiO₂)值中等到较高,w(K₂O)值相对较高,Fe₂O₃、MgO、TiO₂含量较低,暗示碎屑物质的富长英质、贫镁铁质特征。Nb、Ta、Ti、P等不活动元素的强烈亏损和K、Rb、Sr、Ba等LILE的富集,共同指示源区具有明显的俯冲带的特征;而w(TFe₂O₃+MgO)-w(TiO₂)、w(TFe₂O₃+MgO)-w(Al₂O₃)/w(SiO₂)、w(Th)-w(Sc)-w(Zr)/10、w(Th)-w(Co)-w(Zr)/10等判别特征则表明砂岩源区岩石可能形成于大陆弧-活动大陆边缘环境。而且,在球粒陨石标准化分配模式中,LREE强烈富集,HREE无明显分异、有着较平坦的曲线,Eu无异常或表现为弱的正、负异常;在PAAS标准化曲线中,轻重稀土均无明显分异,仅Eu表现为明显正异常。本区直罗组砂岩与华北北缘显生宙闪长岩-花岗闪长岩有着很强的亲缘性。     

鄂尔多斯盆地马岭油田侏罗系延安组储层特征研究

侏罗系延安组是鄂尔多斯盆地马岭油田的主力油层之一。通过岩心观察、薄片鉴定、扫描电镜观察等,研究马岭油田侏罗系延安组储层特征及其控制因素。结果表明,马岭油田延安组储层纵向上自延10期至延4+5期,其沉积相由辨状河相演化为网状河三角洲相。受沉积相影响,延10至延4+5油层组碎屑岩石英含量逐渐减少、长石含量增加,碎屑岩粒度变细,储层厚度变薄。马岭油田各探区储层物性受物源影响,近物源区如北区、南区、镇原区的储层物性较好。上里塬区位于河流下游区,碎屑岩粒度细,储层物性较差。研究区储层的成岩作用程度较低,压实作用和胶结作用使储层物性变差,溶蚀作用则改善了储层物性。     

Genesis of green sandstone/mudstone from Middle Jurassic Zhiluo Formation in the Dongsheng Uranium Orefield,Ordos Basin and its enlightenment for uranium mineralization

The middle Jurassic Zhiluo Formation in the Dongsheng is comprised of a big set of green sandstone/mudstone with most of uranium orebodies occurring in close proximity to its footwall. By synthesizing field observations, region analysis, data collected from previous coal and uranium borehole, a regional north-south geological profile across the entire orefield is conducted. Experiments on sandstone/mudstone including rock mineral identification, clastic micromorphology and element geochemistry were carried out. Information from the geological profile indicates that green sandstone/mudstone is widely present in a stable horizon with clear boundaries to the country rock. Microscopic observations and geochemical data on sandstone/mudstone exhibit similar mineral composition with almost identical slightly flat, minor Eu enriched, Ce depleted chondrite-normalized REE patterns. Furthermore, the green clay membrane of the clasts has a complex composition containing chlorite/smectite, green smectite, chlorite, and green kaolinite, with elements including Fe, Mg, Si, and Al. These above results indicate that the green sandstone/mudstone underwent resemble sedimentary diagenetic processes as the country rock without transformation by large-scale regional fluid, while the existence of Fe²⁺-rich membrane is the main factor to the green sandstone/mudstone. Further concentration of the pre-enrichment uranium during diagenetic process led to the final formation for uranium deposits. The above studies are conducive to enrich the metallogenic mechanism of sandstone type uranium deposits and could provide certain reference for uranium exploration and deployment.     

Detrital-zircon geochronology of the Jurassic coal-bearing strata in the western Ordos Basin,North China: Evidences for multi-cycle sedimentation

The western Ordos Basin(WOB), situated in a tectonic transition zone in the North China Craton, acts as an excellent example for studying the Mesozoic intraplate sedimentation and deformation in Asia. In this study, U-Pb ages for 1203 detrital zircons of 14 sandstone samples collected from 11 sections are presented to unravel the sediment source locations and paleogeographic environments of the Early-Middle Jurassic coal-bearing Yan'an Formation in the WOB. Data show that there are five prominent age groups in the detrital zircons of the Yan'an Formation, peaking at ca. 282 Ma, 426 Ma, 924 Ma, 1847 Ma, and2468 Ma. Samples from the northern, middle, and southern parts of the WOB contain these five age categories in various proportions. In the northern region, the Yan'an Formation exclusively contains Early Permian detrital zircons with a single age group peaking at 282 Ma, matching well with the crystallizing ages of the widespread Early Permian granites in the Yinshan Belt to the north and the Alxa Block to the northwest. While in the southern region, the Yan'an Formation mainly contains three groups of detrital zircons, with age peaks at 213 Ma, 426 Ma, and 924 Ma. These zircon ages resemble those of the igneous rocks in the Qilian-Qinling Orogenic Belt to the south-southwest. Samples in the middle region, characterized by a mixture age spectrum with peaks at 282 Ma, 426 Ma, 924 Ma, 1847 Ma and 2468 Ma, are previously thought to have mixed derivations from surrounding ranges. However, by referring to the detrital-zircon age compositions of the pre-Jurassic sedimentary successions and combining with paleontological and petrographic analysis, we firstly propose that the sediments of the Yan'an Formation in the middle region were partly recycled from the Triassic and Paleozoic sedimentary strata in the WOB.The occurrence of recycled sedimentation suggests that the Late Triassic-Early Jurassic intraplate compressional deformation was very intense in the WOB, especially for regions in front of the Qilian Orogenic Belt.     

鄂尔多斯盆地东胜区直罗组砂岩中烃类流体特征与铀成矿关系

通过对鄂尔多斯盆地东胜地区纳岭沟、大营铀矿床直罗组下段砂岩中139个样品的酸解烃分析,探讨了酸解烃中烃类气体组成特征、成因及来源,并结合该区铀矿地质特征初步分析了烃类流体与砂岩型铀成矿关系。研究结果表明,直罗组下段砂体中CH_4及C_2+含量具有从含矿砂体、灰色砂体、灰绿-绿色砂体逐渐变小的分布特征,表明该区铀成矿与烃类气体关系密切。酸解烃中气体组成特征参数C_1/ΣC、C_1/C_2~+、C_2/iC_4、C_2/C_3、iC_4/nC_4、iC_5/nC_5、ln(C_1/C_2)、ln(C_2/C_3)及δ~(13) C_(CO_2)特征表明,中侏罗统直罗组下段砂岩层中烃类气体为有机成因的油型气,烃类气主要处于成熟—高成熟阶段,是原油裂解气与原油伴生气的混合气。通过气源对比分析认为,直罗组下段砂体中的烃类气主要来源于上三叠统延长组深湖—半深湖相腐泥型烃源岩。这些原油裂解气和原油伴生气的混合气主要沿深大断裂、微裂缝等其他运移通道向上运移到直罗组砂岩中,直罗组下段砂体褪色蚀变(漂白)和绿色蚀变均是深部逸散到该层位中的烃类气体对岩石发生蚀变作用的结果,靠近断裂的直罗组下段褪色蚀变砂岩与绿色蚀变砂岩之间的氧化-还原过渡带是该区砂岩型铀矿找矿的重点方向。     

鄂尔多斯盆地北部直罗组黄铁矿与砂岩型铀矿化关系研究

鄂尔多斯盆地南部直罗—店头地区侏罗系直罗组沉积特征及铀成矿*

鄂尔多斯盆地南部中侏罗统直罗组下段砂岩中已发现店头砂岩型铀矿床及多个铀矿点,但对于盆地南部直罗组沉积相研究较为薄弱,制约了砂岩型铀矿的进一步找矿工作。通过剖面实测、岩心编录,结合石油、煤炭、核工业地质钻孔资料,对鄂尔多斯盆地南部直罗—店头地区直罗组沉积特征进行精细刻画。在此基础上,探讨了沉积相与铀成矿的关系及下一步找矿方向。结果显示,直罗组下段砂体厚度30~65 m、砂地比在0.6~0.75之间,为砂质辫状河沉积。直罗组上段早期砂体厚度10~38 m、砂地比值在0.15~0.45之间,为曲流河沉积;直罗组上段沉积晚期研究区位于湖盆中心所在位置,为滨浅湖沉积。沉积环境、沉积相、辫状河河道交汇部位、砂体厚度、沉积物粒度及泥岩夹层对铀成矿具有重要控制作用。直罗组下段辫状河河道交汇或分叉部位应作为勘查重点,心滩亚相的含炭屑、黄铁矿砂质碎屑岩可作为铀矿化的找矿标志。

Sedimentary characteristics of the Jurassic Zhiluo Formation and uranium deposits in Zhiluo-Diantou area,southern Ordos Basin

Diantou uranium deposits and multiple uranium mineralization sites have been discovered in the sandstones in the lower member of the Jurassic Zhiluo Formation in the southern Ordos Basin. However, the study on the sedimentary facies of the Zhiluo Formation, which restricts the prospecting work of sandstone-type uranium deposits. Based on the outcrop measurements and drilling core cataloging, and combined with the geological drilling data of petroleum, coal, and nuclear industry, we have elaborated the sedimentary characteristics of the Zhiluo Formation in the Fuxian area. We have also combined uranium source, structure, post-alteration and other factors to explore the relationship between sedimentary faces and uranium metallogenic conditions in the study area. The study found that in the lower member of the Jurassic Zhiluo Formation, the thickness of the sand body is 30-65 m and sand ratio is 0.6-0.75. It is gravel and sandy braided river deposit. In the upper member of the Jurassic Zhiluo Formation, the thickness of the sand body is 10-38 m, and the sand ratio is 0.15-0.45 and is a meandering river deposit. The study area is located at the center of the lake basin and sedimentary facies is coastal shallow lacustrine in the upper member of the Jurassic Zhiluo Formation. Sedimentary environment, sedimentary facies, the intersection of braided river channels, sand body thickness, sediment particle size and mudstone interlayer play an important role in controlling uranium mineralization. The exploration of uranium deposits in the northern part of the deposit should focus on the intersection or bifurcation of the braided river channel in the lower part of the Zhiluo Formation. The charcoal- and pyrite-bearing sandstone of channel bar can be used as a prospecting indicator for uranium mineralization.
