本文将我国钼和铜,钼矿床归属子7个主要成矿带,并据其中典型矿床的辉钼矿Re-Os年龄,阐明所述矿带和矿床的时、空演化特征：东部隶属太平洋构造域的燕辽、东秦岭、长江中下游、赣东北和湘南成矿带的成矿高峰期为燕山期(189×10⁶~106×l0⁶ a);古亚洲构造域的多宝山矿带成矿时代为加里东期( 512×l0⁶～40g×l0⁶ a)。西部金沙江．红河成矿带主要是喜山期（36×l0⁶ a左右）成矿。燕辽和东秦岭两个钼矿带的成矿作用分别有从燕山早期(189×l0⁶~177×l0⁶ a)到中晚期(148×10⁶~134×10⁶ a)和从148×l0⁶～138×10⁶ a的自东向西迁徙趋势;长江中下游铜-钼矿带的成矿作用自西北一东南呈燕山中晚期(141×10⁶ a)一晚期(106×l0⁶ a)的趋势。这同3个成矿带内与成矿有关花岗岩类侵位的相应先后次序大体相吻合。

海南岛万泉河口沉积物有机碳、 氮同位素的特征及其环境意义*

对海南岛万泉河口沙美内海柱样K3和K4沉积物进行生物地球化学指标总有机碳(TOC)、总氮(TN)、有机碳同位素(δ¹³ C)、氮同位素(δ¹⁵ N)的分析,以及²¹⁰ Pb定年了解其近代变化特征,追踪沉积物有机质来源的变化,提取沉积环境演变及人类活动的信息。K3中TOC的变化介于0.51 ％ ~1.12 ％ ,K4变化介于0.43 ％ ~1.49 ％ ,而其随时间的变化反映了流域内人类活动的历史。17世纪TOC含量明显增加记录了明末清初开始流域内广泛种植农作物的活动,19世纪以来TOC含量逐渐增加,至现代达最高值,对应了工业革命以来人类活动的增强。K3和K4的δ¹³ C值变化分别在-24.38 ‰ ~-21.02 ‰ 之间和-24.74 ‰ ~-20.17 ‰ 之间,δ¹⁵ N值变化分别在2.20 ‰ ~4.62 ‰ 之间和2.39 ‰ ~5.02 ‰ 之间,映证了本区沉积物有机质是陆源物质和海洋物质混合的特点。明末清初开始流域内广泛种植玉米等农作物造成δ¹³ C值增加和δ¹⁵ N值减少; 自19世纪以来至现在,该区的经济活动增加,人口的持续增长,尤其是近50年来化肥农药的大量使用,造成陆源输入的有机碳含量大幅增加,使δ¹³ C值减少和δ¹⁵ N比值增加。 δ¹³ C值自19世纪以来就逐渐变轻,说明陆源和海洋有机碳的比例发生了变化,较轻的陆源有机碳比例相对增加,较重的海洋有机碳比例相对减少,反映了玉带滩沙坝的增长、沙美内海封闭、海水交换作用减少的状况。C/N比值分别从底部的16.19和17.36到顶部减小为11左右,自19世纪以来呈明显减小的趋势也反映了沙美内海泻湖自生的藻类有机质供应越来越多,也说明了其逐渐封闭、水动力条件越来越弱,与外海的交换作用逐渐减少的状况。     

现代沉积的210Pb计年

²¹⁰Pb具有百年时间尺度沉积计年的重要价值。²¹⁰Pb_ex计年假设：沉积物是封闭系统；进入水体的²¹⁰Pb能有效地转移到沉积物中并不发生沉积后迁移；非过剩²¹⁰Pb与其母体²²⁶Ra保持平衡。²¹⁰Pb_ex计年可用稳定输入通量-稳定沉积物堆积速率模式、常量初始浓度模式或恒定补给速率模式。沉积物柱芯必须保持原态并以0．5～1cm间隔分截；用相应层节²²⁶Ra校正。沉积物表层混合作用及²²²Rn的丢失可能导致顶部²¹⁰Pb_ex异常。季节性缺氧湖泊沉积物顶部可能存在²¹⁰Pb及²¹⁰Po的再迁移。²¹⁰Pb与¹³⁷Cs两种计年方法原理上具有根本差别。²¹⁰Pb，¹³⁷Cs与沉积纹理方法对比是准确计年的重要保证。     

透闪石质玉中黄玉与糖玉致色成因差异研究

采用常规宝石学仪器并结合电子探针、电子顺磁共振谱及紫外-可见光谱等测试方法,对软玉中不同深浅的黄玉与糖玉样品进行了系统分析,以探讨其致色原因及其差异。分析结果表明,黄玉的致色原因主要为O^2-→Fe³⁺的电荷转移跃迁及Fe³⁺的⁶A₁→⁴T₂（D）跃迁,糖玉则主要由Fe³⁺的⁶A₁→⁴E （D）、⁶A₁→⁴T₂（D）谱项跃迁与Mn³⁺的Jahn-Teller效应致色。黄玉中O^2-→Fe³⁺的电荷转移跃迁导致可见光区的412~500 nm处吸收,是形成与控制黄玉颜色的重要因素;而糖玉因含有Mn³⁺致使黄绿色光被吸收而显示出黄绿色的补色。此外,Fe²⁺—Fe³⁺的荷移与Fe²⁺（⁵T₂）+Fe³⁺（⁶A₁）→Fe²⁺（⁵E）+Fe³⁺（⁶A₁）跃迁也对糖玉和黄玉的致色具有贡献。     

中国湖相碳酸盐岩碳氧同位素时空特征及其古湖泊学意义

湖相碳酸盐岩是一种分布极其广泛的陆相碳酸盐岩。中国湖相碳酸盐岩沉积始于二叠纪—三叠纪,经侏罗纪—白垩纪发展,鼎盛于古近纪,具有沉积时间跨度长、分布面积广的特征。碳酸盐岩发育方式多样,常以多个单层、薄夹层状、互层状、韵律沉积为主,也见以结核状或钙质微体化石等薄层赋存于泥岩、页岩等细粒碎屑岩中。湖相碳酸盐岩δ¹³C值介于-10.0×10^-3~+10.0×10^-3之间,多数为-5.0×10^-3~+5.0×10^-3,正负值均有。二叠系—三叠系δ¹³C发生负偏,侏罗系—白垩系先正向漂移随后负偏,古近系—新近系再次正偏,达最大值约+5.0×10^-3。氧同位素δ¹⁸O值介于-20.0×10^-3~+2.0×10^-3之间,多数为-15.0×10^-3~-0.0×10^-3,几乎全部为负值。二叠系—三叠系、侏罗系—白垩系碳酸盐岩δ¹⁸O值在-15.0×10^-3~-3.0×10^-3之间变化,古近系—新近系δ¹⁸O值明显正偏移,多数位于-10.0×10^-3~0.0×10^-3。中国湖相碳酸盐岩碳氧同位素相关性分析表明,δ¹³C与δ¹⁸O密切相关,且δ¹³C值多正值或轻微负值,指示湖泊为封闭型咸水—半咸水环境;δ¹³C和δ¹⁸O不相关,δ¹³C值为负值,指示湖泊为开放型淡水环境。     

东北四海龙湾玛珥湖沉积物纹层计年与137Cs、210Pb测年

对东北四海龙湾玛珥湖SHLF6孔纹层沉积物的¹³⁷Cs放射性测量表明:¹³⁷Cs比活度的最大值出现在55cm处,对应于1963年世界原子弹试爆高峰期。纹层计年表明0～6cm共有35个纹层层偶。从75cm到65cm,¹³⁷Cs比活度从256±009dpm/g急剧增加到1868±017dpm/g,可能65cm对应于1954年。通过测量²²⁶Ra子核²¹⁴Pb和²¹⁴Bi（能量为295keV,352keV和609keV）放射的光子数获得²²⁶Ra比活度数据,然后求得过剩²¹⁰Pb_{比活度（²¹⁰Pbuns）。²¹⁰Pbuns比活度随深度增加而呈指数衰减,其异常波动可能与人类活动以及沉积速率变化有关,例如55cm处²¹⁰Pb比活度较高,与¹³⁷Cs的峰值对应,这可能与1963年前后人工核实验的高峰有关,因为核试验不仅产生¹³⁷Cs,而且可以产生208Pb和²¹⁰Pb;45cm处²¹⁰Pb比活度较低,而²²⁶Ra较高,可能与人类活动加剧,导致沉积速率增加有关。根据²¹⁰PbunsCRS模式,SHLF6孔0～19cm的平均沉积速率为20mg/cm²·a,或约为011cm/a。²¹⁰Pb测年数据与¹³⁷Cs时标及纹层计年均有很好的一致性。四海龙湾玛珥湖发育的纹层为年纹层,可以建立高分辨率时间序列。}

离子交换水钠锰矿矿物学特征及高温相变研究

以MnSO₄为原料,以空气为氧化剂在碱性条件下合成K型水钠锰矿,并进行离子交换实验。能谱结果显示:Ba²⁺、Pb²⁺、NH⁺₄和Ag⁺能够全部置换层间的K;而Li⁺、Cu²⁺、Zn²⁺、Ni²⁺、Mg²⁺、Ca²⁺、Na⁺和Cd²⁺离子交换样品仍残留1%～3%的K。XRD和红外光谱结果显示,除Ag离子交换样品外,其它样品均保留了水钠锰矿的层状结构,但是离子交换过程中,矿物结晶度以及锰氧八面体的有序度均有一定程度的变化。差热-热重结果显示,离子交换样品在150～250℃和500～700℃有显著的物相变化和结构调整。层间离子半径和性质决定了高温相变产物。在650℃煅烧后,K⁺、Ba²⁺、Na⁺、Pb²⁺和Ag⁺等大半径离子交换样品生成具有(2×2)型或(3×3)型孔道矿物;而小半径离子不足以支撑水钠锰矿的层状结构,高温时发生分解生成低价态锰氧化物,其中Mg²⁺、Ca²⁺、Cd²⁺和Zn²⁺离子交换样品分解生成黑锰矿,Cu²⁺、Ni²⁺、Li⁺和NH⁺₄离子交换样品则分解生成方铁锰矿。     

Microbial fuel cell operation using nitrate as terminal electron acceptor for simultaneous organic and nutrient removal

A double-chambered biocathode microbial fuel cell with carbon felt employed as electrodes was developed for wastewater treatment and bioelectricity generation simultaneously. The system was operated in fed-batch mode for over eight batches. The effect of circuit connections on organic and nitrate reduction was investigated. The maximum power density recorded was 21.97 mW/m² at current density of 88.57 mA/m². The Coulombic efficiency and internal resistance of the system were 5% and 100 Ω. Up to 89.9 ± 5.9% of chemical oxygen demand reduction efficiency achieved with an influent of 1123 ± 28 mg/L. There was no significant difference in the chemical oxygen demand reduction when system operated in either open or closed circuit. This study clearly showed that higher nitrate reduction efficiency obtained in closed circuit (74.7 ± 7.0%) due to bio-electrochemical denitrification compared to only 41.7% in the open circuit. The result also successfully demonstrated nitrate as terminal electron acceptor for the cathodic nitrate reduction.     

Formation and recognition of alkyl xanthyl thiosulphates in sulphide ore flotation liquors

Alkyl xanthyl thiosulphates (R.OCSS.S₂O₃^?) (RXT^?) are formed in solution by mild oxidation (e.g. by I₂) of solutions containing both xanthate and thiosulphate. They can also be formed by reaction of Cu²⁺ with xanthate and thiosulphate, reaction of dixanthogen with thiosulphate, and by reaction of xanthate with tetrathionate; these last three reactions can occur in flotation pulps in slightly acid or alkaline solutions (pH 5–10).Alkyl xanthyl thiosulphates are stable in acid and neutral solution; the solutions have a UV absorption maximum at 289 nm. In strongly alkaline solution (pH 12) RXT^? decomposes within a few minutes to yield a xanthate (mostly) plus a little perxanthate. At pH 10 this decomposition to xanthate takes about 48 h. At pH 7–9 RXT^? is relatively stable. RXT^? is not extracted from aqueous solution with common solvents (chloroform, iso-octane, cyclohexane, or ether). It forms a water-insoluble adduct with cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB); this adduct can be extracted into chloroform, and the extract has a UV absorption maximum at 296 nm.RXT^? was found in solutions from the gangue-sulphide flotation section at Renison Ltd, the zinc flotation circuit and the copper flotation circuit at Mount Isa Mines Ltd, and the lead flotation section of The Zinc Corporation Ltd. The presence of RXT^? in operating flotation plants has various practical and theoretical implications.     

The separation mechanism and application of a tapered diameter separation bed

Research on recycling waste printed circuit boards is at the forefront of preventing environmental pollution and finding ways to recycle resources. A wet process for reclaiming metals from printed circuit boards applying a tapered diameter separation bed is described, and the separation mechanism of the device is proposed. The motion of a particle in the tapered diameter fluid flow field and particle separation within this field were studied. As the material passes through the fluid field, along with the water, differences in particle density, granularity, and shape cause particles to follow at different trajectories. A tapered diameter separation bed was used to process 1?C0.074?mm-sized crushed material from discarded printed circuit boards. The separation efficiency of 91.77?% and the recovery rate of 95.79?% for recovered metal were achieved with a discharge water flow rate of 4.5m³/h, a material feed rate of 300?g/min, and an obliquity of 30°. For ?0.074?mm printed circuit boards, the metal recovery is 93.42?% and the separation efficiency is 77.63?% when the water discharge is 2?m³/h, the obliquity is 35o, and the material feed rate is 450?g/min. The superfine products in a size range of ?0.074?mm can be recovered effectively under suitable operating condition using the tapered diameter separation bed. It indicates that the lower separation limit of the tapered diameter separation bed can be close to zero. The technique will prevent environmental pollution from waste printed circuit boards and allow efficient recovery.     

Analysis of limestone micromechanical properties by optical microscopy

Four dense Scandinavian limestones were analyzed to determine their mechanical properties. The generation of dust (? 10 μm) and fines (? 90 μm) during a closed circuit vertical roller mill comminution process was correlated with the calcite crystal size distributions of each limestone. Thin sections were analyzed and by means of stereology the calcite crystal size distributions for each limestone was measured. The dust generation of limestones is governed by a surface abrasive mechanism (R² = 0.99) and the production of fines is governed by the mechanical strength of limestones (R² = 0.99). The overall limestone degradation mechanism is predominantly controlled by the calcite cleavage planes which reduce the power consumption during the comminution process. This study is the first step in determining the influence of limestone texture on the wear rates in heterogenous raw mixes used in closed circuit comminution equipment.     

A physical analogue model to analyse interactions between tensile stresses and dissolution in carbonate slopes

A physical analogue model was developed to analyse the relationship between tensional states in rock masses, seepage and karst processes. Use was made of an experimental apparatus consisting of two hydraulic circuits realized by drilling two holes into each of two blocks of sampled limestone from the central Apennines (Italy). A static load (208.85 kg) was applied to one of the blocks in order to elicit tensile stresses within it. Physical and chemical monitoring data showed that the main process involved was temperature-dependent CaCO₃ dissolution. This process was more marked in the loaded block circuit, as Ca⁺⁺ concentration in circulated water reached 54 mg/L, whereas only 28 mg/L was reached in the unloaded one. The interaction between load and dissolution caused the observed opening of microcracks, as confirmed by further increase of water loss and by dilution in the loaded block circuit, resulting in a decrease of Ca⁺⁺ concentration. These findings were confirmed by recording additional water losses after increasing the load up to 445.05 kg. A finite difference numerical model showed that tensile stresses (max 20 kPa) within the loaded block were clustered at the intersection of the main joints with the flowpaths, thus representing points of preferential and accelerated dissolution.This study is part of a research project on analogical and numerical modelling for geological risk mitigation being conducted at CERI, Research Centre for Geological Risks of the University of Rome “La Sapienza” (Valmontone, Roma, Italy; http://www.ceri@uniroma1.it).     

Electric currents along earthquake faults and the magnetization of pseudotachylite veins

Pseudotachylites occur in the form of thin glassy veins quenched from frictional melts along the fault planes of major earthquakes. They contain finely grained magnetite and often exhibit a high natural remanent magnetization (NRM). High NRM values imply strong local electric currents. These currents must persist for some time, while the pseudotachylite veins cool through the Curie temperature of magnetite around 580 °C. There is no generally accepted theory explaining how such powerful, persistent currents may be generated along the fault plane. Data presented here suggest the activation of electronic charge carriers, which are present in igneous rocks in a dormant, inactive form. These charge carriers can be “awakened” by the application of stress. They are electrons and defect electrons, also known as positive holes or p-holes for short. While p-holes are capable of spreading out of the stressed rock volume into adjacent p-type conductive unstressed rocks, electrons require a connection to the hot, n-type conductive lower crust. However, as long as the (downward) electron flow is not connected, the circuit is not closed. Hence, with the outflow of p-holes impeded, no current can be sustained. This situation is comparable to that of a charged battery where one pole remains unconnected. The friction melt that forms coseismically during rupture, provides a conductive path downward, which closes the circuit. This allows a current to flow along the fault plane. Extrapolating from laboratory data, every km³ of stressed igneous rocks adjacent to the fault plane can deliver 10³–10⁵ A. Hence, the current along the fault plane will not be limited by the number of charge carriers but more likely by the (electronic) conductivity of the cooling pseudotachylite vein. The sheet current will produce a magnetic field, whose vectors will lie in the fault plane and perpendicular to the flow direction.     

Electro-magnetic earthquake bursts and critical rupture of peroxy bond networks in rocks

We propose a mechanism for the low frequency electromagnetic emissions and other electromagnetic and electric phenomena which have been associated with earthquakes. The mechanism combines the critical earthquake concept and the concept of crust acting as a charging electric battery under increasing stress. The electric charges are released by activation of dormant charge carriers in the oxygen anion sublattice, called peroxy bonds or positive hole pairs (PHP), where a PHP represents an O₃X/^OO YO₃ with X,Y = Si⁴⁺,Al³⁺,…, i.e. O⁻ in a matrix of O²⁻ of silicates. We propose that PHP are activated by plastic deformations during the slow cooperative build-up of stress and the increasingly correlated damage culminating in a large “critical” earthquake. Recent laboratory experiments indeed show that stressed rocks form electric batteries which can release their charge when a conducting path closes the equivalent electric circuit. We conjecture that the intermittent and erratic occurrences of EM signals are a consequence of the progressive build-up of the battery charges in the Earth crust and of their release when crack networks percolate through the stressed rock volumes, providing a conductive pathway for the battery currents to discharge. EM signals are thus expected close to the rupture, either slightly before or after, that is, when percolation is most favored. The proposed mechanism should be relevant for the broader understanding of fractoemissions.     

Drag performance of divergent tubular-truncated cones: a shape optimization study

The use of more efficient energy consuming devices, which are closely associated with reduction of environmental pollution, has gained significant interest in the recent decades. The reduction of drag coefficient also improves safety and durability of environmental structures subjected to high-velocity fluid flow, and causes the noise and vibration to decrease as well. This paper describes the efficiency improvement in energy management by means of reducing drag coefficient in a practical divergent tubular-truncated cone. Extensive numerical simulations with emphasis on the shape optimization study were performed in order to find minimum drag coefficient for both laminar and turbulent flows (9.41?×?10²????Re????1.882?×?10⁷) around the mentioned cone. The numerical results were validated with experimental data, obtained by performing tests in an open circuit wind tunnel. The results showed that the minimum drag coefficient of optimum model within the shape modification process, comparable to the value for the primary model in turbulent flow decreased by 69.8% (the maximum discrepancy) at the highest considered Reynolds number of 1.882?×?10⁷. Furthermore, the study of streamwise velocity profile led to more useful result. In this regard, the velocity magnitude inside the inlet span of the primary model, close to the entrance was approximately 1.6 times as great as the free upstream velocity. This is a noticeable result for the use of efficiency important structures in industrial applications.     

Mercury mobilization by oxidative dissolution of cinnabar (α-HgS) and metacinnabar (β-HgS)

Cinnabar (α-HgS) and metacinnabar (β-HgS) dissolved at environmentally significant rates in oxygenated slurry experiments simulating a low-flow fluvial system. Based on SO₄²⁻ production, cinnabar dissolution rates were 2.64 to 6.16 μmol (SO₄²⁻) m^− 2 day^− 1, and metacinnabar dissolution rates were 1.20 to 1.90 μmol (SO₄²⁻) m^− 2 day^− 1. Monodentate-bound thiosulfate (S₂O₃²⁻) was identified as an oxidation product on the HgS surface by ATR-IR spectroscopy based on strong infrared absorption bands in the 1140–1145 cm^− 1 and 1006–1014 cm^− 1 regions. The presence of sulfide oxidation intermediates on the HgS surface indicates that SO₄²⁻ concentration underestimates α-HgS and β-HgS dissolution in this setting. Mercury release rates during dissolution were more than two orders of magnitude less than SO₄²⁻ production, but were significant: 0.47 mg (Hg) m^− 2 y^− 1 from cinnabar [6.45 nmol (Hg) m^− 2 day^− 1], and 0.17 mg (Hg) m^− 2 y^− 1 from metacinnabar [2.29 nmol (Hg) m^− 2 day^− 1]. The Hg mobilized during α-HgS and β-HgS dissolution is sufficient to form natural Au–Hg amalgam in downstream placer settings. The proportion of mercury that is not remobilized during α-HgS and β-HgS dissolution likely adsorbs to the dissolving mercuric sulfide. Adsorption of Hg²⁺ to cinnabar was detected in situ by anodic stripping voltammetry using a cinnabar-modified carbon paste electrode following accumulation of Hg²⁺ on the electrode at open circuit potential.     

Influence of the off-axis position of the transmitter and receiver circuits on the results of differentially normalized electromagnetic sounding

In the differentially normalized method of electromagnetic sounding (DNME), the transmitter and receiver are grounded electrical circuits. The conduction and polarization properties of a section are studied by measuring the electrical potential difference (ΔU(t)) and the second potential difference (Δ²U(t)); the latter characterizes the spatial inhomogeneity of the electromagnetic field. Measurements of Δ²U(t) are strongly influenced by three-dimensional inhomogeneities within the receiver spread. To reduce this effect, measurements are made in two positions (left and right) of the transmitter circuit relative to receiver with subsequent averaging of the measured data. Often in field studies, the transmitter and receiver circuits are at an angle to each other, and the use of two transmitters in measurements leads to the need to determine a generalized transmitter for one-dimensional forward numerical modeling of field data.The effect of the off-axis (diagonal) position of the transmitter and receiver circuits on the data of electromagnetic pulse sounding and their inversion for a one-dimensional polarizable conducting medium have been studied in real and numerical experiments. In modeling, the effect of induced polarization (IP) is taken into account by introducing the resistivity frequency dispersion (Cole-Cole equation). Validity of the calculation of the generalized transmitter is estimated for the solution of the one-dimensional forward problem with the inversion of field diagonal measurements. The effect of three-dimensional objects on the results of measurements using the above observation system is estimated by solving the 3D forward problem for a polarizable conducting medium.
