A Microscopic and Nanoscale Understanding of the Formation of Gold Geochemical Provinces

Gold geochemical provinces in China were delineated through stream sediment or catchment sediment sampling in this study. Each gold geochemical province delineated by a threshold value of 2.5 ng/g covers an area of thousands of kilometers. It is a dilemma that geochemists traditionally thought that gold could not migrate for a long distance in rivers or streams to form a large-scale geochemical anomaly due to its chemical inertness and high specific density. The quantitative spectroscopic analysis and observations under a scanning electron microscope(SEM) indicate the presence of submicroscopic gold particles(5 μm in diameter) in large quantities, and observations under a Transmission Electron Microscopy(TEM) further suggest the presence of nanoscale gold particles(several tens of nanometre in diameter) in ores, rocks, soils and stream sediments. Particularly, submicroscopic and nanoscale gold particles less than 5 μm were only found in samples having a low gold content(10ng/g). This result shows that geochemical provinces, delineated by a threshold value of 2.5 ng/g, are formed by long-distance transport of ultrafine gold in streams. The findings may provide direct microscopic evidence for gold migration to form geochemical provinces.

不同剪切作用下CMC水溶液的微观结构研究

针对聚合物钻井液重要组分之一的羧甲基纤维素钠盐(CMC),考虑钻井液在井底钻头与环空处所受的不同剪切作用,测试了其水溶液在相应近似剪切作用(分别为600,6 000 r/min)下的流变性,并结合冷冻干燥方法,利用扫描电子显微镜观测了这两种剪切作用后CMC水溶液相应的微观结构.结果表明高速剪切作用使CMC水溶液的空间网络骨架拉伸变细,甚至破坏,溶液黏度有所降低,流动性增大.这样,热量更容易通过这些网络骨架,使充填其中的小分子物质以热传导、对流传热等方式传递到钻屑表面,分解钻屑表面的水合物.水合物分解产生的气体和水则以分子扩散的形武向内向外进行传质,但会受到钻井液微观骨架结构和其中填充物质的阻碍.     

羟基磷灰石除氟的实验地球化学研究

中国和世界上许多国家（地区） 都面临着饮用水氟含量超标的问题,因此研究氟的环境地球化学行为以及探索除氟 技术和原理至关重要。本实验采用廉价的非金属矿物羟基磷灰石作为吸附材料,研究羟基磷灰石吸附溶解态F-的地球化学 行为和机制,考察反应时间、pH、初始F-浓度等环境参数对吸附反应的影响。实验结果发现羟基磷灰石对F-的吸附反应需 进行到48 h以上时才接近反应平衡。在实验条件下（pH≥4）,F-的吸附量随pH升高而降低,羟基磷灰石对F-的吸附受pH 调控。同时还发现羟基磷灰石在pH=6条件下对F-的吸附等温线既满足Langmuir等温模式（R2=0.89） 同时也满足Freundlich 等温模式（R2=0.99）,并推导出该条件的理论最大吸附量为21.6×10-3。本研究还进一步采用了先进的XRD、SEM、 HR-TEM、19F NMR手段,系统地表征了反应前后吸附产物的形态和成分变化,发现在高F-浓度条件下,F-在羟基磷灰石表 面的吸附机制不再是单层的表面配位。核磁共振的结果表明F-可部分取代羟基磷灰石结构中的隧道羟基而形成含氟羟基磷 灰石。研究结果表明羟基磷灰石是一种相当具有潜力的除氟材料,值得进一步开发。

扫描电子显微镜对花岗岩中主要矿物裂隙作用的研究(英文)

微裂隙对于岩石的物理性质有重要影响.通过光学显微镜对显微裂隙进行的观察,难以将薄片的制作过程中产生的裂隙同自然裂隙区分;其次,观测的裂隙大小限制在0.1mm或以上数量级,一些重要细节观察不到.扫描电镜的高放大倍数和三维分辨率使其成为适合于裂隙研究的理想工具.利用扫描电镜观测了浙江花岗岩在室温下由51.6MPa压力产生的裂隙的发育过程.观察花岗岩的表面以研究其微裂隙和矿物的解理、晶形及破裂作用.微裂隙分为3种类型:晶体内裂隙(完全发育在颗粒内部),晶体间裂隙(穿过颗粒边界进入其他颗粒中),颗粒边界裂隙(沿颗粒边界发育或与边界重合).本研究中的花岗岩为中—粗粒(1～6mm),经过蚀变,约含40%斜长石,25%钾长石,25%石英,10%镁铁矿物(主要为黑云母和白云母).(1)石英裂隙表面的石英颗粒具有边界破裂和贯穿颗粒破裂.贯穿石英颗粒的破裂常呈贝壳状断口.变形集中带与滑动面相伴,其上发育有擦痕和沟槽,这是石英典型的脆性破裂类型.石英矿物的贝壳状破裂产状指示其变形作用早期的碎裂作用,在变形作用中发生交代作用.一些平滑的破裂面上没有石英颗粒的微裂隙构造,但在石英表面却有明显的擦痕面,可指示应力的方向.由于石英的各向异性,这些面也是由贯穿颗粒破裂所形成.一些开放的裂隙集中于石英晶体之中或沿

为了探究煤系石墨形成过程中结构演化及不同石墨化程度无烟煤和石墨的热反应行为,选取湖南新化系列变质程度无烟煤和煤系石墨为研究对象,通过X射线衍射（XRD）和高分辨率透射电子显微镜（HRTEM）对其结构进行表征,并结合程序控制升温法（TPO）分析不同变质程度无烟煤和煤系石墨的热反应行为。结果表明,随变质程度的增加,碳结构由无烟煤中的无定形态转变成石墨的三维有序C原子点阵。系列石墨化煤是由多种有序度不同的碳结构相组成,体现了其结构非均质性,碳结构相含量及分布随变质程度而逐渐变化,石墨化程度最高的煤系石墨中主要为石墨微晶集合体,但依旧含有结构缺陷。无烟煤和煤系石墨中碳结构的多相性和不均匀分布是影响其热反应行为的重要原因。

An electron‐optical study of melt‐related microstructures in granulite facies rocks from the Torngat Orogen

Cordierite–quartz and plagioclase–quartz intergrowths in a paragneiss from northern Labrador (the Tasiuyak Gneiss) were studied using SEM, STEM and TEM. The gneiss experienced granulite facies conditions and partial melting during both regional and, subsequently, during contact metamorphism. The microstructures examined all results from the contact metamorphism. Cordierite–quartz intergrowths occur on coarse and fine scales. The former sometimes exist as a ‘geometric’ intergrowth in which the interface between cordierite and quartz appears planar at the resolution of the optical microscope and SEM. The latter exists in several microstructural variants. Plagioclase is present as a minor component of the intergrowth in some examples of both the coarse and fine intergrowth. Grain boundaries in cordierite–quartz intergrowths are occupied by amorphous material or a mixture of amorphous material and chlorite. Cordierite and quartz are terminated by crystal faces in contact with amorphous material. Chlorite is sometimes found on cordierite surfaces and penetrating into cordierite grains along defects. Quartz contains (former) fluid inclusions 10–20 nm in maximum dimension. The presence of planar interfaces between cordierite and the amorphous phase is reminiscent of those between crystals and glass in volcanic rocks, but in the absence of compelling evidence that the amorphous material represents former melt, it is interpreted as a reaction product of cordierite. Plagioclase–quartz intergrowths occur in a number of microstructural variants and are commonly associated with cordierite–quartz intergrowths. The plagioclase–quartz intergrowths display simple, non‐planar interfaces between plagioclase and quartz. Quartz contains (former) fluid inclusions of dimensions similar to those observed in cordierite–quartz intergrowths. The boundary between quartz and enclosing K‐feldspar is cuspate, with quartz cusps penetrating a few tens of nanometres into K‐feldspar, commonly along defects in K‐feldspar and sometimes with very low dihedral angles at their tips. This cuspate microstructure is interpreted as melt pseudomorphs. The plagioclase–quartz intergrowths share some features with myrmekite, but differ in some respects: the composition of the plagioclase (An₃₇Ab₆₂Or₁–An₃₈Ab₆₁Or₁); the association with cordierite–quartz intergrowths; and microstructures that are atypical of myrmekite (e.g. quartz vermicules shared with cordierite–quartz intergrowths). It is inferred that the plagioclase–quartz intergrowths may have formed from, or in the presence of, melt. Inferred melt‐related microstructures preserved on the nanometre scale suggest that melt on grain boundaries was more pervasive than is evident from light optical and SEM observations.     

Morphological Characteristics of （K, Na）-Rectorite from Zhongxiang Rectorite Deposit, Hubei, Central China

The morphological characteristics of the Zhongxiang (钟祥) rectorite have been studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The structural formula of the Zhongxiang rectorite is: interstratification of (K, Na)-mica and Ca-montmorillouite. SEM observations show that Zhongxiang rectorite occurs as platy and fold-shaped crystals, and mainly as extremely thin plates with thickness ranging from 0.4 to 0.05 μm and a smooth (001) surface. There are well-developed polygonal steps on the surfaces of some thick crystals, suggesting a layer-by-layer growth mechanism. AFM observations show a series of steps with a height of 2 nm on the platy particles, suggesting the stacking of 20 nm fundamental particles. Club-like or fiber-shaped halloysite is included in the platy crystals with their elongated dimension paralleling (001) of the platy crystals or crossing the (001) surface of the platy rectorite, indicating multi-stage crystallization and involvement of hydrothermal fluids. The Zhongxiang rectorite was generated by both layer-by-layer growth mechanism and dissolution and crystallization growth mechanism with multistages.

The use of microchemical analysis of alluvial gold grains in mineral exploration: experiences in Britain and Ireland

The examination of populations of gold grains by SEM and EPMA generates a microchemical signature based upon the assemblage of opaque mineral inclusions within the gold and the concentration of minor alloying metals. Duplicate samples of alluvial gold from the same locality have yielded the same microchemical signature independent of the field worker who collected the sample, or the date of collection. A study of five separate alluvial localities yielded a microchemical signature consistent with the mineralogy of the adjacent host mineralisation. This result has permitted informed speculation on the styles and complexity of gold mineralisation contributing to the alluvial population of gold grains where the style of source mineralisation is unknown.The technique can yield information about several aspects of the source mineralisation of an alluvial population at an early stage in the exploration process. Distinctive microchemical signatures can be used to evaluate the dispersion of gold either by fluvial or glacial action. The technique can identify gold derived from separate mineralising events either within a region or along a watercourse, thereby allowing speculation on the magnitude of the source mineralisation. It is also possible to establish whether specific types of gold mineralisation of potential economic interest have contributed to an alluvial population. In areas subjected to glaciation, analysis of the microchemical signature of populations of alluvial gold may indicate whether the gold grains are of proximal or distal origin.The volume of information made available through the study of alluvial gold grains has contributed greatly to the understanding of regional gold mineralisation. Interpretation of microchemical signatures of populations of alluvial gold from about 130 localities throughout Great Britain and Ireland has facilitated characterisation of gold in terms of the style of the source mineralisation. This information has augmented that available from about ten bedrock gold localities and has permitted a more complete classification of gold occurrences throughout the region.Quantitative analysis of some minerals within the opaque inclusion assemblage can provide information on the chemistry of the mineralising fluid, which may be related to the capacity for gold transportation.In Devon, South West England, a model for the emplacement of gold mineralisation was developed from interpretation of the microchemical signature of alluvial gold grains. The selenide-rich inclusion suite containing no sulphides suggested that oxidising conditions prevailed during precipitation. The model of transport of gold in solution through the oxidising environment of Permian red beds and its subsequent precipitation in underlying rocks due to reduction in Eh was consistent with the observed distribution of gold in alluvial sediment, residential overburden and drill core. Using this model other targets for gold mineralisation were successfully predicted.     

多激励源瞬变电磁探测方法在煤矿采空区的应用

大定源回线是瞬变电磁方法的常用装置,移动发射框需要耗费巨大的人力和时间,极大降低了工作效率;电性源瞬变电磁法具有探测深度大、受地形限制小、工作效率高等优点,但偏移距较大时,采集信号强度衰减强烈,信噪比降低,在一定程度上限制了探测精度。为了解决精细地质探测的实际问题,采用多激励源瞬变电磁方法,通过构建正演模型,以甘肃魏家地煤矿含水采空区探测为例,比较了传统大定源回线、单激励源及多激励源电性源瞬变电磁的勘查效果;经钻孔验证,多激励源瞬变电磁法在研究区勘查效果更好。研究结果为邻区及类似地区煤矿采空区探测提供了技术支撑和可供参考的范例。     

层状出溶结构导致拉长石晕彩形成——来自透射电镜的证据

从拉长石出溶结构的形态特征、成分差异和出溶结构的取向研究出发,采用TEM、STEM 以及SAED等手段对其进行测试,发现拉长石出溶结构层的厚度符合理论计算值,结构层的成分由富钙和贫钙两相长石组成,具备了产生干涉作用的必要条件.研究结果表明,拉长石的晕彩色是因其内部的层状出溶结构对光的干涉所致,结构层的厚度主要受富钙相长石的控制.随着钙(An)含量的增加,结构层相应地增厚,且富钙层的增大幅度大于贫钙层,从而导致晕彩色波长也随之增大.出溶结构层的取向为(153),近于平行晶体的(010)面,但不同产地的拉长石,尽管晕彩色相同,其出溶条纹中的钙含量和条纹的具体取向也不尽相同.
