南极中山站区电气石及其与变质作用的关系

南极中山站区的巨晶“电气石”实际上是柱晶石。电气石的确存在,但颗粒细小,含量较低。根据其颜色、成分和产出特征,至少可分为三种类型,不同的电气石与变质作用发展的不同阶段有关。电气石在麻粒岩相变质作用条件下能够稳定存在,与其它硼硅酸盐矿物（即硅硼镁铝矿和柱晶石）的缓冲作用有关。     

硅硼镁铝矿在我国的首次发现

硅硼镁铝矿(Grandidierite)为一罕见矿物.国外由M.A.Lacroix于1902年在马达加斯加花岗岩中首次发现,1918年在匈牙利又有发现,此后国内外一直未见报道.1985年笔者在对黑龙江鸡西三道沟矽线石矿床研究中,发现了硅硼镁铝矿.它产于麻山群斜长片麻岩内,与培长石、柱晶石、矽线石、电气石、石墨等共生,含量占7－8%.硅硼镁铝矿呈蓝绿色、长柱状,粒度0．1×0.2×0.8~0.5 ×1.0 × 4.omm.相对密度为3.016g/cm~3,摩氏硬度7.5.矿物难溶于盐酸、硫酸及氢氟酸.     

电气石中硼的溶出机制初探

电气石是一种以含硼为特征的硅酸盐矿物,矿物中硼含量在2.78%~3.4%之间,但电气石中的硼被束缚在稳定的晶体结构中难以溶出而被植物吸收,从而影响电气石中硼在农业上的应用。本文通过一系列实验与检测分析,对电气石中硼的溶出机制进行了研究,发现＂高温煅烧十活化剂＂相结合的方法能有效地将电气石中硼的溶出,并初步选定Na2CO3为理想的活化剂,为开发电气石硼肥奠定了理论基础。     

辽东地区沉积变质硼矿床及硼同位素研究

辽东地区元古界硼矿床属于沉积变质硼矿。根据现代盐湖沉积 ,认为硼矿物沉积通常为硼砂 ,然后在区域变质作用过程中 ,硼砂矿物转变为硼镁矿物或硼铁矿等硼酸盐矿物 ,但辽东硼矿床中不同硼矿物的硼同位素有一定差别。电气石富10 B ,δ11B值较低或呈负值 ;而硼镁石与硼镁铁矿类矿物明显富集11B ,δ11B值较高 ,为 +2 3‰～ +17 4‰。根据水岩作用过程中硼同位素分馏特征的研究 ,11B与10 B比较有下列 4个特征 :( 1) 11B属于极不相容元素 ,优先进入水相 ,因此在变质残余矿物相中形成低的δ11B值 ;( 2 )在蚀变和交代变质反应中硅优先替代11B进入矿物晶格 ,因此在硅化交代中可以降低δ11B值 ,而脱硅反应中可以提高δ11B值 ;水化作用中 ,OH-带入11B ,使富水矿物具有较高的δ11B值 ;( 3)热水沉积及热液交代成因电气石均具有较低的δ11B值或者为负值 ;( 4)通过最近的研究表明 ,在热蒸馏过程中 ,硼同位素会发生明显的分馏 ,11B倾向于进入蒸汽相 ,而使残余相或后蒸馏相亏损11B ,形成较低的δ11B值。因此可以认为辽东地区元古界硼矿床属于热水沉积电气石岩在后期区域变质或热变质过程中分解出硼酸气水溶液交代镁碳酸盐形成硼镁石或硼镁铁矿矿物 ,而非蒸发沉积变质矿床。     

俯冲-碰撞带硼循环

俯冲带控制着地球内部和表层的物质与能量交换.硼(B)是一个质量轻的流体活动性元素.B及其同位素体系是理解俯冲-碰撞带流/熔体活动和物质循环的重要工具.本文综述了俯冲板块中各储库的硼含量和同位素组成以及主导硼分配的关键矿物.介绍了目前对大洋俯冲带弧前、弧下和弧后深度下硼循环的主要认识;简要介绍了刚起步的大陆俯冲-碰撞带硼循环研究.阐述了含电气石(超)高压变质岩在俯冲带硼迁移研究中的重要性.指出今后需深化含水矿物在不同地温梯度下脱水/熔融过程中硼同位素分馏研究,加强流/熔体包裹体硼同位素分析技术及应用研究.由于B及同位素可有效区分大洋地壳和大陆地壳物质,未来将在造山带演化和地球深部物质循环研究中扮演更重要的角色.     

超高压榴辉岩-脉体体系成因和俯冲带变质流体演化

超高压岩石-脉体体系是认识俯冲带流体性质和行为的天然实验室.通过总结大别超高压变质带3个榴辉岩（角闪岩）-脉体体系的研究成果,探讨了大陆俯冲带变质流体的溶解-结晶过程和氧逸度变化规律以及流体对轻元素硼的迁移过程.对榴辉岩-复合高压脉体的研究发现超高压流体通过溶解矿物富集溶质组分,流体随后经历3期结晶过程,分别形成绿辉石-绿帘石脉、绿帘石-石英脉和蓝晶石-绿帘石-石英脉.绿帘石La、Cr和δEu值是判断结晶次序的关键指标.对榴辉岩-角闪岩-低压脉体研究表明大陆俯冲带低压变质流体的氧逸度明显高于高压-超高压变质流体.高氧逸度条件也导致一些反常矿物（如退变金红石）的生长.对含电气石榴辉岩-脉体研究揭示变质碳酸盐岩是大陆俯冲板片中重硼同位素的重要储库,其在汇聚板块边界的脱硼作用显著影响深部硼循环.上述研究成果为理解俯冲带变质流体演化和物质循环提供重要科学依据.      

LA-MC-ICPMS电气石及白云母原位硼同位素测试方法及应用

多接收电感耦合等离子体质谱(MC-ICPMS)与激光剥蚀系统(laser ablation)的联用,为通过单矿物微米尺度的信息示踪地质过程提供了有利工具。作为非传统稳定同位素之一,硼同位素的应用受到地学界日益广泛的关注。本文利用LA-MC-ICPMS的分析优势建立了原位高精度分析高硼矿物电气石和低硼矿物白云母硼同位素的方法,分别使用电气石标准样品和玻璃标准样品对未知样品的测试结果进行了质量歧视校正,并对2个西南天山的实际地质样品进行了微区硼同位素测试应用。测试结果表明,仪器状态可以保持长期稳定,可以采用最小10μm的束斑对实际地质样品中电气石的硼同位素组成进行准确测定,也可对硼含量高于20×10-6的白云母进行原位硼同位素的准确测定;标定的实验室内部电气石标准样品T-PKU的推荐值为-13. 07‰±0. 42‰(2SD,n=66)。天山泥质片岩及脉体中的电气石和白云母的原位硼同位素特征为示踪与矿物平衡共生的流体来源提供了有效信息。

江苏冶山矽卡岩型硼矿成因机制研究:来自硼酸盐矿物学制约

江苏冶山硼矿是中国典型矽卡岩型硼矿床。文章利用电子探针和粉晶X-射线衍射测试手段,对冶山硼矿中硼酸盐及共生脉石矿物,进行了岩相学、矿物化学成分、矿物种类等方面详细研究,并对该矿床中硼酸岩矿物的成因机制进行了讨论。研究发现,冶山硼矿中矿石矿物为硼镁铁矿和硼镁石。硼镁铁矿多为纤维状和针状集合体产出,属早期矽卡岩阶段形成产物;硼镁石主要为片状结构,少量为纤维状结构,且有四种赋存状态:(1)无定型分布硼镁石-Ⅰ,此种硼镁石与蛇纹石共生;(2)网脉状硼镁石-Ⅱ,穿且或环绕早期片状硼镁石;(3)与细粒磁铁矿共生的硼镁石-Ⅲ;(4)充填状硼镁石-Ⅳ,此种硼镁石为纤维状,充填于其他矿物的晶间。背散射电子图像表明,网脉状硼镁石-Ⅱ晚于片状硼镁石-Ⅰ,二者应该是形成于富硼热液与水镁石的相互作用;条带状硼镁石是由富硼热液与早期的硼镁铁矿之间的反应形成;充填在其他矿物之间的纤维状硼镁石可能直接从富硼热液中结晶而成,应该属于最晚期。     

东南极拉斯曼丘陵长英质片麻岩的深熔作用与铁钛氧化物的聚集机制

东南极拉斯曼丘陵高级变质长英质岩石中铁钛氧化物的局部聚集与高级变质作用过程中的深熔作用有关,并非原岩富集这些组分。深熔作用造成惰性组分如铁钛氧化物滞留原地或略有聚集及活动性组分的迁移,而流体挥发组分优先聚集于熔体之中。当体系中水含量较低、处于不饱和状态时,深熔作用过程中形成局部"熔体",其结晶所成的浅色体不具低共结组分,没有熔体结晶结构,不是真正的熔体,可能是(准)熔体。较粗粒的浅色体或伟晶岩也是与深熔作用有关的产物,其形成早于花岗岩脉或岩体,而与花岗质岩浆分异无关。伴随(准)熔体的出现,体系中组分的萃取、分异效果较为明显,即可造成组分分异,形成截然不同的异地、二相分异结构,分别形成固相残留物(组成可以不固定)和(准)熔体相。固相残留体中富铝、铁组分,形成矽线石和铁钛氧化物团块,其中少或无挥发分;与此对应,短距离迁移浅色体中往往贫铁钛组分,可见石榴子石、偶见铁钛氧化物矿物。这种挥发分不饱和状态下的深熔作用基本属于封闭体系,整体失水不显著,高级变质岩中的一些特征矿物如矽线石、石榴子石、堇青石、尖晶石的形成也与这种分异作用有关,但组分迁移范围有限,并可保存组分分异各阶段的产物。拉斯曼丘陵长英质岩系中大量铁钛氧化物和矽线石类矿物组合的形成,反映了临界状态下的局部或差异抬升,变形作用的非均匀性及相伴随的组分分异作用,很可能相当于早期格林维尔期构造的泛非期再活动。      

长英质高级片麻岩中夕线石的形成与变形-变质-深熔作用的关系 —— 以南极拉斯曼丘陵区为例

南极拉斯曼丘陵高级长英质片麻岩的夕线片麻岩中可有两类结构和变质矿物组合均有所不同的两种域,一种含夕线石部分对应于片理组合,另一种对应无夕线石的非片理化组合.岩石的变形尤其是破裂性裂隙的率先出现对于富夕线石部分的形成是必要的.在非破裂性片麻理岩石域中,中-低压/高温条件下黑云斜长片麻岩进变质发展的结果往往是形成Grt+Qtz±Opx组合.这两种不同的变质域的组合与应变分解造成的强应变带和弱应变域相一致.而且,夕线石的形成不是简单的变质早期矿物固相反应的结果,而是反应链上的一部分.其出现是由开放体系中组分的差异迁移造成的,这种差异迁移实际上是碱土金属迁出(淋滤)的过程,与变形相伴的流体活动使得SiO2发生强烈淋滤,残留组分中SiO2活度大为降低,并使长英质组分和镁铁质组分分凝,主要组分大都可以单独富集(集中)、形成复杂的矿物演化和分布.这种演化还可从MgO等碱(土)金属组分的外迁程度差异来理解.随着碱(土)金属丢失程度的减小,依次出现夕线石、石榴子石、斜方辉石和堇青石,或者说,不同的变质或分异阶段形成不同的矿物(组合):变形-变质起始阶段,碱(土)金属组分迁移初期残留形成夕线石,之后为镁(铁)质组分迁移,初期残留不透明钛铁氧化物,晚期残留组分形成堇青石.石榴子石-长英质组合为体系基本封闭情况下的结晶.此外,夕线石的形成往往标志着深熔作用的开始,一旦深熔作用发展完善,夕线石呈准稳定状态或趋于消失.拉斯曼丘陵与夕线石有关的长英质岩石经历了复杂的变形、变质和流体活动变化.     

An occurrence of grandidierite,kornerupine, and tourmaline in southeastern Ontario,Canada

Grandidierite, kornerupine, and tourmaline occur in high-grade pelitic gneisses from southeastern Ontario, Canada. The kornerupine occurs in quartz-bearing layers associated with biotite, cordierite, garnet, ilmenite, K-feldspar, magnetite, quartz, and, less commonly, sillimanite. Grandidierite is found in quartz-poor, cordierite+sillimanite segregations in contact with biotite, cordierite, ilmenite, K-feldspar, magnetite, sillimanite, and, more rarely, garnet. Tourmaline is sporadically distributed in all compositional layers, but is not in contact with the other borosilicates. There is no textural evidence for a reactive relationship among the three borosilicates. Neither chemical or textural equilibrium has been achieved on the scale of a thin section.It is proposed that the granite, K-feldspar-rich leucosomes, and different borosilicate assemblages in adjacent compositional layers evolved along a path of decreasing pressure and increasing temperature. The P-T path intersected a series of dehydration and melting reactions. This P-T path indicates that uplift had occurred before cooling had started and before the maximum temperature was reached. Corona and symplectite textures developed at various times during uplift both before and after cooling had started.     

Composition, mineral assemblages, and genesis of serendibite-bearing magnesian skarns

Variations in the composition and mineral assemblages of boronaluminosilciates (serendibite, grandidierite, kornerupine, and tourmaline) were studied in the abyssal and hypabyssal skarns of New York and California, United States, the Taezhnyi deposit of southern Yakutia, and deposits of the Pamirs, and compared to their occurrences around the world. The genesis of the boronaluminosilicates depends on the facies of the replaced skarns and the calcareous-skarn alteration of the primary composition of the host rocks. The substitution between Mg and Fe, as well as between Al, Si, and B, was studied in complex boronaluminosilciates and associated minerals. It was shown that f of serendibite is determined by that in the replaced skarn minerals (pyroxenes, spinel, sapphirine, and grandidierite) and is inherited in the replacing tourmaline and late silicates. Unlike serendibite, kornerupine is a typomorphic mineral of only bimetasomatic skarns of the abyssal facies. Serendibite, grandidierite, kornerupine, and tourmaline crystallized during the postmagmatic stage of the evolution of boron mineralization at skarn deposits of both the abyssal and the hypabyssal facies, at contact with magnesian carbonate sequences and desilicified aluminosilicate rocks.     

Boron in metapelites controlled by the breakdown of tourmaline and retrograde formation of borosilicates in the Yanai area,Ryoke metamorphic belt,SW Japan

Tourmaline-out isograd formed by the breakdown of tourmaline is defined in the upper amphibolite-facies metapelites in the Yanai area, Ryoke metamorphic belt, SW Japan. The rim composition of tourmaline progressively becomes aluminous with ascending metamorphic grade, and the chemical zoning of tourmaline is controlled by ^X□AlNa_–1Mg_–1 and MgTi^YAl_–2 vectors in low- to medium-grade zones where muscovite is stable, whereas it is controlled by Mg(OH)^YAl_–1O_–1, CaMgO^X□_–1 ^YAl_–1(OH)_–1 and MgTi^YAl_–2 vectors in further higher–grade, muscovite-unstable zones. The size of tourmaline increases drastically where breakdown of muscovite+quartz takes place, probably due to the growth of tourmaline during breakdown of muscovite. On the high-temperature side of the tourmaline-out isograd, depletion of whole-rock boron is observed. Escape of boron-bearing melt or the fluid evolved from the melt during its crystallization probably caused this depletion, although locally trapped, boron-bearing melt or fluid formed irregularly shaped tourmaline and dumortierite during retrograde metamorphism.     

Boron in granitic magmas: stability of tourmaline in equilibrium with biotite and cordierite

Experiments at 750 °C, 200 MPa_(H2O), a _(H2O)=1, and fO₂∼Ni-NiO established that the equilibrium among tourmaline, biotite, cordierite, and melt (± spinel, aluminosilicate, or corundum) occurs with ∼2 wt% B₂O₃ in strongly peraluminous melt with an aluminosity, measured by the parameter ASI, of >1.2. The experiments demonstrate the relationship of tourmaline stability to the activity product of the tourmaline components boron and aluminum, which are inversely related to one another. Tourmaline is unstable in metaluminous to mildly peraluminous melts (ASI <1.2) at 750 °C regardless of their boron content. For a given aluminosity, addition of components such as F requires a greater boron content of melt at this equilibrium. The stability of tourmaline increases with decreasing temperatures below 750 °C. At the inception of melting, tourmaline breaks down incongruently to assemblages containing crystalline AFM silicates (biotite, cordierite, garnet, sillimanite), aluminates (spinel, corundum), and B-enriched but Fe-Mg-poor melt. Granitic melts are likely to be undersaturated in tourmaline from the start of their crystallization, and their initial boron contents will be limited by the abundance of tourmaline in their source rocks. Quartzofeldspathic (gneissic, metapelitic) rocks that reached conditions of the granulite facies and still contain (prograde) tourmaline are rare, and probably have never yielded a partial melt. Most leucogranitic magmas will initially crystallize biotite, cordierite, or garnet, but not tourmaline. With crystallization, the Fe-Mg content of melt decreases, and the B₂O₃ content increases until the tourmaline-biotite and/or tourmaline-cordierite (or garnet) equilibria are attained. The B₂O₃ content of melt is buffered as long as these equilibria continue to operate, but low initial Fe-Mg contents of the magmas limit the quantity of boron that can be consumed by these reactions to <1 wt% B₂O₃. Normally, leucogranitic magmas contain insufficient Fe and Mg to conserve all boron as tourmaline and thus lose a large fraction of magmatic boron to wallrocks. Leucogranites and pegmatites with tourmaline as an early and only AFM silicate mineral probably contained >2 wt% B₂O₃ in their bulk magmas. Received: 6 August 1996 / Accepted: 21 July 1997     

Tourmaline breakdown in the migmatite zone of the Ryoke metamorphic belt,SW Japan

A sharp line delimitating the distribution of tourmaline (termed as a ‘tourmaline‐out isograd’) is defined in the migmatite zone of the Ryoke metamorphic belt, Japan. The trend of the tourmaline‐out isograd closely matches that of the isograds formed through the regional metamorphism, suggesting that it represents the breakdown front of tourmaline during regional metamorphism. This is confirmed by the presence of the reaction textures of tourmaline to sillimanite and cordierite near the tourmaline‐out isograd. The breakdown of tourmaline would release boron into associated melts or fluids and be an important factor in controlling the behaviour of boron in tourmaline‐bearing high‐temperature metamorphic rocks. Near the tourmaline‐out isograd, large tourmaline crystals occur in the centre of interboudin partitions containing leucosome. In the melanosome of the intervening matrix, reaction textures involving tourmaline are locally observed. These observations imply that tourmaline breakdown is related to a melting reaction and that the boron in the leucosome is derived from the breakdown of tourmaline in the melanosome during prograde metamorphism. Boron released by tourmaline breakdown lowers both the solidus temperature of the rock and the viscosity of any associated melt. Considering that the tourmaline‐out isograd lies close to the schist–migmatite boundary, these effects might have enhanced melt generation and segregation in the migmatite zone of the Ryoke belt. The evidence for the breakdown of tourmaline and the almost complete absence of any borosilicates throughout the migmatite zone suggest that boron was effectively removed from this region by the movement of melt and/or fluid. This implies that the tourmaline‐out isograd can reflect a significant amount of mass transfer in the anatectic zones.     

Chemical and boron-isotope variations in tourmalines from an S-type granite and its source rocks: the Erongo granite and tourmalinites in the Damara Belt,Namibia

Tourmaline is widespread in metapelites and pegmatites from the Neoproterozoic Damara Belt, which form the basement and potential source rocks of the Cretaceous Erongo granite. This study traces the B-isotope variations in tourmalines from the basement, from the Erongo granite and from its hydrothermal stage. Tourmalines from the basement are alkali-deficient schorl-dravites, with B-isotope ratios typical for continental crust (δ¹¹B average −8.4‰ ± 1.4, n = 11; one sample at −13‰, n = 2). Virtually all tourmaline in the Erongo granite occurs in distinctive tourmaline-quartz orbicules. This “main-stage” tourmaline is alkali-deficient schorl (20–30% X-site vacancy, Fe/(Fe + Mg) 0.8–1), with uniform B-isotope compositions (δ¹¹B −8.7‰ ± 1.5, n = 49) that are indistinguishable from the basement average, suggesting that boron was derived from anatexis of the local basement rocks with no significant shift in isotopic composition. Secondary, hydrothermal tourmaline in the granite has a bimodal B-isotope distribution with one peak at about −9‰, like the main-stage tourmaline, and a second at −2‰. We propose that the tourmaline-rich orbicules formed late in the crystallization history from an immiscible Na–B–Fe-rich hydrous melt. The massive precipitation of orbicular tourmaline nearly exhausted the melt in boron and the shift of δ¹¹B to −2‰ in secondary tourmaline can be explained by Rayleigh fractionation after about 90% B-depletion in the residual fluid.

Development and Re‐Evaluation of Tourmaline Reference Materials for In Situ Measurement of Boron δ Values by Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry

Six tourmaline samples were investigated as potential reference materials (RMs) for boron isotope measurement by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The tourmaline samples are chemically homogeneous and cover a compositional range of tourmaline supergroup minerals (primarily Fe, Mg and Li end‐members). Additionally, they have homogeneous boron delta values with intermediate precision values during SIMS analyses of less than 0.6‰ (2s). These samples were compared with four established tourmaline RMs, that is, schorl IAEA‐B‐4 and three Harvard tourmalines (schorl HS#112566, dravite HS#108796 and elbaite HS#98144). They were re‐evaluated for their major element and boron delta values using the same measurement procedure as the new tourmaline samples investigated. A discrepancy of about 1.5‰ in δ¹¹B was found between the previously published reference values for established RMs and the values determined in this study. Significant instrumental mass fractionation (IMF) of up to 8‰ in δ¹¹B was observed for schorl–dravite–elbaite solid solutions during SIMS analysis. Using the new reference values determined in this study, the IMF of the ten tourmaline samples can be modelled by a linear combination of the chemical parameters FeO + MnO, SiO₂ and F. The new tourmaline RMs, together with the four established RMs, extend the boron isotope analysis of tourmaline towards the Mg‐ and Al‐rich compositional range. Consequently, the in situ boron isotope ratio of many natural tourmalines can now be determined with an uncertainty of less than 0.8‰ (2s).
