水系沉积物中的金属元素在中国东部不同构造单元的分布特征

中国东部全国区域化探扫面计划早已完成,积累了海量的水系沉积物数据.对分布在中国东部5个大地构造单元水系沉积物数据的金属元素的分布特征进行了统计,并与出露岩石地壳的岩石数据特征进行了对比,发现中国东部不同构造单元的出露岩石地壳的岩石成分决定着水系沉积物中金属元素的含量高低,两者之间存在着正相关的关系,不同构造单元同一金属元素具有不同的背景含量.水系沉积物中14种金属元素的含量比出露岩石地壳岩石中金属元素的含量富集,特别是低温热液元素,如Hg富集系数可高达13.6倍.另外,气候对金属元素从母质岩石中活化迁移分配到水系沉积物中的含量高低存在着影响,即低纬度地区的金属元素从母质岩石中活化迁移到水系沉积物中的量比高纬度地区多些,但这种影响因素相对于母质岩石成分的影响是居于次位的.     

广东揭阳土壤镉含量的空间分布特征及影响因素

以广东省揭阳市土壤为研究对象,采集了1 330个表层土壤(0~20 cm)样品和331个深层土壤(150~200 cm)样品,通过 GIS 空间分析技术、半变异函数拟合和方差分析等方法对研究区土壤镉含量的富集特征、空间分布、结构特征以及影响因素进行了系统分析。结果表明,研究区表层土壤镉含量的均值为0.09 mg/kg,高于该区土壤背景值,但低于GB 15618—2018《土壤环境质量农用地土壤污染风险管控标准(试行)》的标准值。通过富集因子法研究表明,研究区表层土壤镉主要为轻微污染和中度污染。从结构特征来看,研究区表层土壤镉含量呈中等空间相关性。揭阳市表层土壤镉含量高值区主要分布在人类活动密集的东部和南部地区。土地利用类型、成土母质和土壤类型是影响表层土壤镉含量的重要因素,在不同土地利用方式下,建筑用地土壤镉含量最高;不同成土母质中,第四纪沉积物土壤镉含量显著高于其他母质;不同土壤类型中,水稻土的镉含量相对较高。     

中国南部湿润半湿润丘陵山区不同粒级水系沉积物地球化学特征对比研究

不同景观条件下选取合适的采样粒级是准确地获取地球化学信息,提升地质找矿效果的关键。为研究中国南部湿润半湿润中低山丘陵景观区水系沉积物测量最佳采样粒级,本文在安徽省南部胡乐司—宁国墩地区开展了区域化探采样粒度方法技术试验,采集-60目和-10目~+80目两种粒级样品,采用波长色散X射线荧光光谱法和电感耦合等离子体质谱法为主体的配套分析方案和测试技术获取了全国区域化探扫面规定的40种元素高精度数据。研究表明:两种粒级水系沉积物中造岩元素背景含量与区域岩石背景值基本接近,其他微量元素多呈富集状态,以-10~+80目粒级中As、Au、Hg、Mo、Pb、Sb等成矿元素富集程度最强;-10~+80目粒级受后期表生改造作用影响较弱,最大限度保留了原生地球化学分布特征,并在准确圈定与矿化有关的异常和清晰反映矿致异常特征等方面明显优于-60目粒级。因此,建议在安徽省南部中低山丘陵景观区,选择-10~+80目粒级为水系沉积物测量的最佳采样粒级,研究结果可以为中国相似景观区地球化学勘查找矿水系沉积物测量采样粒级的选择提供参考。

龙感湖近百年来沉积物磷的时空分布特征及其人类活动影响

湖泊沉积物蓄积的磷在湖泊环境发生变化(如pH值、Eh改变)时,往往能释放到水体,形成湖泊内源释放,造成湖泊富营养化.因此了解湖泊沉积物磷的蓄积特征,对于湖泊环境的治理和保护有重要意义.通过长江中游龙感湖不同部位钻孔的210Pb、沉积物磷和其他环境指标分析表明,近百年来东部湖区沉积速率明显大于西部湖区,北部湖区略大于南部湖区,人类活动在20世纪50年代后期主要通过修建水库和闸坝,改变龙感湖水系结构,也改变了龙感湖的物源供给,因而西部湖区沉积速率略有放缓,东部湖区变化不明显.龙感湖沉积物磷的浓度空间上表现为东部高于西部,这与不同物源磷的背景值相关,时间序列上近百年来呈上升趋势,上世纪50年代以来上升趋势更为明显.在确定沉积物磷背景值的基础上,由于人类活动导致的磷的增加量表明,20世纪50年代开始人类活动导致沉积物磷的增加量持续上升,20世纪70年代末开始增加幅度更大,这一特征与人类活动的方式有关.     

西藏羊八井—青龙地区水系沉积物元素背景值及分布特征

水系沉积物中化学元素的背景值是地球化学找矿工作中不可缺少的基础资料,对区域地球化学异常评价具有重要意义。西藏地区一直缺少以区内微景观区表层物质为基础建立的多元素背景值数据,在一定程度上限制了对已有水系沉积物异常的认识水平。本文分析了羊八井—青龙地区约12000 km2内2800件水系沉积物组合样品中69个元素背景值及分布特征。统计分析结果表明:与全国水系沉积物和中国南方地区水系沉积物平均值相比,研究区自北向南分布的班戈—八宿、隆格尔—南木林、拉萨—察隅三个地球化学分区内SiO2的含量普遍较高(68.6%~77.0%),SiO2高含量与区内强烈的风化剥蚀作用及中酸性岩体的大面积产出有关。其他元素的含量普遍偏低,且各分区内有一定的差异性:北部班戈—八宿分区以富集与高温热液或气液有关的Li、Sr、B、N、Cl元素为特征,中部隆格尔—南木林分区以富集铁族元素、稀有元素(Zr)、稀土元素(Sc)为特征,南部拉萨—察隅分区以富集造岩、轻稀土、稀有、分散元素及亲铜成矿元素为特征。元素含量分布的差异与各区地层、岩体、矿床和矿化点密切相关。本次研究提供了羊八井—青龙地区水系沉积物中69个元素背景值,如亲铜成矿元素Au、Ag、Cu、Pb、Zn的背景值分别为0.26 ng/g、41 ng/g、4.04"g/g、25.2"g/g和25.6"g/g,这些背景值的提出弥补了该微景观区化学元素背景值的空白,为羊八井—青龙地区及其邻区区域地质研究及勘查找矿工作提供了参考依据。     

广东省揭阳市土壤铅的空间分布特征及影响因素

Geochemical mapping in northern Honshu,Japan

Geochemical mapping of northern Honshu in the Northeast Japan Arc was carried out using stream sediments at a sampling density of one sample per 130 km². More than 50 elements were determined in 395 stream sediment samples (<0.18 mm fraction). In geochemical maps, areas with especially low concentrations of large ion lithophile elements (LILE), Be and Li widely overlap with the distribution of Quaternary volcanic rocks along the volcanic front. The areas rich in mafic elements are associated with mafic rocks in many cases. On a regional scale, Ni, Cr and Cu contents are higher in the eastern Paleozoic–Mesozoic basement zone, Pb and Tl tend to be higher on the western zones, and Zn and Cd are high in the western back-arc zone. The areas especially rich in Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, Bi and Tl coincide with the distribution of large mineral deposits. High concentrations related to Kuroko, hydrothermal-vein, and skarn-type deposits are recognized. High values of As and Sb are related to active geothermal areas near volcanoes and ore deposits. Chemical variations of K, Ce, Th and Sn in the stream sediments are concordant with chemical variations in major rocks. The median and mean concentrations for the stream sediments in northern Honshu, showing arc signatures, are lower in Rb, Cs, Th, Li, K, Be, Ta, LREE, Ni, Hg and Sn, and higher in Sc, Ca and Cd relative to the whole area of Japan, largely because of the contribution of Cenozoic island-arc volcanic rocks that are generally poor in incompatible elements. The averaged chemical compositions of the stream sediments for the geologic zones show systematic variations of many elements. The contrasting variations of LREE and Th contents, which are lower in the zones of Cenozoic rocks relative to the zones of pre-Neogene basements, reflect the regional variations in the main rocks, and also reflect the change of geological settings of the studied area from the continental margin to an island arc during the Cenozoic.     

Investigating the spatial distribution of antimony geochemical anomalies located in the Yunnan-Guizhou-Guangxi region,China

The Yunnan-Guizhou-Guangxi region is well known for its abundant mineral resources, and low-temperature hydrothermal mineralization represented by the elemental association of gold, arsenic, antimony and mercury is widely developed there. Many studies on the geological-geochemical characteristics of gold have been conducted, but a comprehensive understanding of the antimony geochemical pattern is still lacking. This paper studied the Sb distribution characteristics and the cause of geochemical anomalies based on the geochemical data of stream sediments and rocks in the study area. In addition, the geochemical data of Au, As, Sb and Hg were centered and log-ratio transformed to eliminate the closure effect, and then random forest regression (RFR) with Au, As and Hg as the characteristic variables was used to investigate the ore-related geochemical anomalies of Sb. Seven geochemical provinces were delineated from the original geochemical data, and they are not entirely consistent with the known deposits. Sb moves from the rocks to the stream sediments during weathering. The variation trend in the Sb background values in stream sediments in each tectonic unit is consistent with that in the rocks themselves, implying that Sb in the stream sediments is inherited from the background rocks. The distributions of Sb predicted by RFR are similar to the distribution pattern of Sb in stream sediments. Of the three elements considered, the influence of As on the variations in the Sb geochemical background is the greatest, followed by Au and then Hg. The geochemical anomalies extracted by the residuals produced in this algorithm are consistent with where the known Sb metallogenic district is located, indicating that this method of recognizing geochemical anomalies is feasible and effective and has theoretical and practical significance.     

Spatial distribution and bioavailability of Hg in vegetable-growing soils collected from the estuary areas of Jiulong River,China

The distribution and bioavailability of Hg in vegetable-growing soils collected from the estuary areas of Jiulong River, China, were studied. Concentrations of Hg in top-soils, soil profiles and plant samples were measured with the method of hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry after microwave digestion. Mercury species in soils were determined with the sequential extraction procedures based on Kingston method. Results showed that Hg concentrations in top-soils ranged from 49.8 to 1,685 ng g^?1, with an average of 510 ng g^?1 which was more than twice higher than the mercury limit (250 ng g^?1 at pH < 6.5) of soil quality set for edible agricultural products in China (HJ 332-2006). High levels of Hg were found to mainly distribute in the top-soils from the northern, western and southern part of the estuary areas. Hg concentrations decreased with the increases of profile depths, except for one sample (S15) in which Hg level in the depth of 0–20 cm was found lower than that in the 20–40 cm. Hg in most of soil samples in non-mobile forms accounted for 46–82 % of total Hg in soils, while Hg in the mobile forms only 0.6–8.7 %. No significant correlation of Hg concentrations between the vegetables and the soils was observed in the studied areas, which indicates that the transfer factors could only reflect the abilities of Hg uptake and accumulation in a specific plant, but they are unsuitable to be used as the general indexes for the mobility and bioavailability of Hg in soils.     

Elemental Concentrations of Stream Sediments in Southern China

Over 3 million samples were collected from southern China at a density of 1–2 stream sediment samples per square kilometre as part of the Regional Geochemistry National Reconnaissance (RGNR) programme of China initiated in the late 1970s. Approximately 5244 composite samples of stream sediments from twelve provinces of southern China were prepared from the original RGNR samples collected from a territory with an area of 2300000 km² at a density of one composite sample per 1:50000 map sheet (about 400 km²). Seventy‐six elements were determined by the geoanalysis laboratory of Henan Province (platinum‐group elements) and by the Institute of Geophysical and Geochemical Exploration (IGGE) laboratory for the remainder. Internal quality and external quality control methods were applied to ensure that the analytical data were comparable. Statistics were used to derive the mean and background values and indicate the average concentrations of the seventy‐six elements. Comparisons were made against the mean values obtained from stream sediments, floodplain sediments, overall sediments and overall soils of the entire territory of China. The concentrations of Hg, Cd, rare earth elements and 24 other elements were higher than their background for the whole of China. In contrast, the concentration of Na₂O, CaO, Ba and Sr were lower in the stream sediments in southern China than their whole China background.     

滇黔桂卡林型金矿区水系沉积物和岩石金含量与时空分布

为研究滇黔桂卡林型金矿区水系沉积物和岩石中金的地球化学时空分布及其与金矿规模的对应关系,系统收集了该区1:20万区域化探全国扫面计划水系沉积物和全国地球化学基准计划岩石金的地球化学数据,绘制了水系沉积物和岩石金的地球化学分布图。滇黔桂卡林型金矿区以水系沉积物金地球化学异常面积大于1000 km^2为准,共圈定5处金的地球化学省,这些金的地球化学省同时也是矿床大规模产出的部位。区内右江盆地水系沉积物金背景值(1.94×10^–9)高于扬子克拉通(1.68×10^9),其内以泥岩、页岩、砂岩、灰岩为代表的容矿岩石金背景值(0.51×10^–9)也高于扬子克拉通(0.39×10^–9)。研究区不同构造单元及沉积相中水系沉积物金背景值受岩石金背景值的制约。金的地球化学省是地壳演化过程中不均匀分布的高金背景岩石、金矿化作用及金矿床次生风化作用相互叠加的结果。该研究有助于有效判断异常成因、识别成矿作用存在,对研究金的区域成矿规律和聚焦找矿靶区具有重要意义。     

The geochemistry of mercury in sedimentary rocks and soils in Pennsylvania

The mercury contents of 11 sandstone, 11 shale and 6 limestone samples from Pennsylvania average 7, 23 and 9 ppb Hg, respectively, which is lower than the values for sedimentary rocks reported in the literature. The differences may arise because many of the reported high values are from regions characterized by more mineralization and volcanism than is present in central Pennsylvania. The lowest values found for shale and sandstone in Pennsylvania (0.4 and 0.5 ppb Hg, respectively) are lower by an order of magnitude than the lowest previously reported values. The mercury content of sedimentary rocks varies markedly due to the effects of volcanism, organic material and sulfur in reducing environments, iron and manganese oxides in oxidizing environments, diagenesis, hydrothermal processes, and the thermal history of the rock.Soils in Pennsylvania have much greater amounts of mercury than their parent rocks even after taking into account possible residual concentration, suggesting that mercury is added to the soils from an outside source. Rain is the major source of mercury absorbed by the soil. A portion of the absorbed mercury returns to the atmosphere, establishing a rain-soil-atmosphere mercury cycle. The general enrichment of mercury in soils and sediments compared to rocks is supported by the observation that the mercury content of rain is greater than freshwater. The much higher values of mercury in unconsolidated sediments compared to sedimentary rocks suggest that mercury is lost during diagenesis.Man's contribution of mercury to the surface environment is nearly equal to the natural contribution. Industrial loss contributes more than 65 per cent of man's total, and the contribution of fossil fuel consumption is small, although it may be locally important. The implications of mercury loss and absorption by soils may be an important factor in concentrating mercury in crops and other living matter, especially near industrialized areas.     

Geochemical mapping in Shikoku, southwest Japan

Geochemical mapping of Shikoku in the SW Japan Arc was conducted using stream sediments (<0.18 mm fraction) with sample densities of 1 site per 106 km². Concentrations of 51 elements in 173 stream sediments were determined. Areas with especially high Cr, Ni, Mg and Co concentrations run intermittently and linearly through Shikoku, and coincide with exposures of the Mikabu greenstone complex composed of oceanic basaltic and gabbroic rocks with minor ultramafic bodies. Areas with higher concentrations of Fe, V, Sc, Ti, Mn, Cr, Ni, Mg, Co and Eu are distributed widely along the Shikoku Island axis; they mainly overlap with the zones of the high-pressure type metamorphic rocks (Sanbagawa Belt) and of the Jurassic accretionary complexes with sedimentary rocks (Chichibu Belt): in contrast, areas with lower concentrations spread over the northern coastal zone of Cretaceous granitoids (Ryoke Belt) and in the southern coastal zone of Cretaceous-Paleogene accretionary complexes (Shimanto Belt). Distribution patterns of these elements reflect that various amounts of mafic and ultramafic materials, possibly of oceanic origin, are associated with the rocks in the Sanbagawa and Chichibu Belts, although such components occur sparsely in the Shimanto and Ryoke Belts. Calcium, Sr, Na, Nb, Sm and Gd contents are lower along the southern coastal zone. High values of Th, U, La, Ce and Ba are associated with granitic rocks. The positive anomalies of Cu and Cd coincide with the distribution of stratabound Cu deposits in the Sanbagawa Belt. Positive anomalies of Sb in the northern area are associated with Sb deposits near the large Median Tectonic Line fault zone. A high-Hg zone is present in the southern fore-arc area. The median concentrations for stream sediments in Shikoku are higher in Hg, Cu, Ni, Cr, Rb, Li, Cs, K, slightly higher in Nb, Ta, La, Ce, Sn and lower in Ca than those for average Japanese stream sediments. The median concentrations for the four geologic zones show systematic wide variations of mafic associated elements, and narrow variations of lithophile elements generally more abundant in felsic rocks. The chemical compositions of the stream sediments in Shikoku largely reflect the concentrations in the pre-Neogene accretionary complexes and in the high-P metamorphic rocks mainly formed from clastic materials derived from continental margins, and ratios of mafic and ultramafic materials within surface rocks; they are partly influenced by sulfide mineralization and fluid migration.     

The sources of metal contents in the shelf sediments from the Marmara Sea, Turkey

The shelf area is the largest morphological unit of the Marmara Sea and is subjected to increasing population, urbanization, and industrial activities. Metal contents (Al, Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Cr, Co and Hg) of the surface sediments from the shelf areas of the Marmara Sea generally do not indicate shelf-wide pollution. The variability of the metal contents of the shelf sediments is mainly governed by the geochemical differences in the northern and southern hinterlands. Northern shelf sediments contain lower values compared to those of the southern shelf, where higher Ni, Cr, Pb, Cu and Zn are derived from the rock formations and mineralized zones. However, besides from the natural high background in the southern shelf, some anthropogenic influences are evident from EF values of Pb, Zn and Cu, and also from their high mobility in the semi-isolated bay sediments. Anthropogenic influences are found to be limited at the confluence of Istanbul Strait in the northern shelf. However, suspended sediments along the shallow parts of the northern shelf were found to be enriched in Pb and Hg and to a lesser degree in Zn, reflecting anthropogenic inputs from Istanbul Metropolitan and possibly from the Black Sea via the Istanbul Strait.     

Zn, Pb, Cu and As distribution patterns in overbank and medium-order stream sediment samples: their use in exploration and environmental geochemistry

Overbank and medium-order stream sediment samples were collected in Belgium and Luxembourg from 66 sampling locations (area of about 33,000 km²) and analysed for major and trace elements among which Zn, Pb, Cu and As. At each sampling location large bulk samples were taken, namely in the lower (normally at ≥1.5 m depth, over an interval of about 20–40 cm) and upper (normally upper 5–25 cm) parts of the overbank profiles and from the stream sediments. Furthermore, at a number of these sites, a detailed geochemical analysis of vertical overbank sediment profiles (sampling intervals of 10–20 cm) was subsequently carried out to unravel element variations through time and to help in the overall evaluation. For most sampled sections evidences such as ¹⁴C-dating and the absence of anthropogenic particles point towards a pre-industrial and often pristine origin of the lower overbank sediment samples. From the latter bulk samples, mean background concentrations were deduced. They reveal the existence of significant differences between the northern and southern part of Belgium (incl. Luxembourg) which relate to the difference in geological substrate. In the north dominantly non-lithified Quaternary and Tertiary sands, marls and clays occur while in the south Palaeozoic sandstones, shales and carbonate rocks outcrop. Consequently separate mean background values were calculated for the two areas. In the southern study area, some anomalous metal concentrations have been recorded in pre-industrial sediments. They are derived from mineralised Palaeozoic rocks, a feature which could be of interest for base metal exploration. In the upper overbank and stream sediments, in general, higher heavy metal and As contents were recorded with highest values in areas with metal mining, metal melting and cokes treatment industries. By comparing the trace element concentrations of the upper overbank or stream sediment samples with the concentrations detected in the lower overbank samples at each of the sampling locations, and by evaluating the vertical distribution patterns where available, the degree of pollution of the alluvial plain and the present-day stream sediments can be assessed. From this exercise, it is clear that highest pollution occurs in the northern part of Belgium, which relates to its high population density and industrial development.
