豫西地区铝土矿中镓的分布规律研究

镓是一种价格昂贵的稀散金属，其应用前景十分广阔。豫西地区的铝土矿石中含有丰富的镓资源。通过对区内铝土矿石中镓的分布特征做了多方面的对比研究，归纳出镓的分布规律：空间上，在不同铝土矿区的矿石中镓的平均质量分数变化显著，在矿体平均厚度最大的张窑院矿区，矿石中的镓高度富集。时间上，沉积成矿相对较早的铝土矿层，因其长期遭受强烈的表生富集作用，矿石中镓的平均品位较高。从矿石结构类型来看，土状和峰窝状矿石中的镓品位明显高于短、鲕状和致密状矿石。另外，矿石中镓平均含量的变化总与铝土矿富矿体的产出位置关系密切。并且，探讨了铝土矿中镓分布规律的控制因素。     

我国微米级无机多孔非金属矿及其应用

无机多孔非金属矿,按孔径及其应用特点可划分为纳米级(1～100nm )、微米级（0.1～100μm)及毫米级（0.1～1mm)等三种类型。微米级多孔非金属矿主要有硅藻土、轻质蛋白石、多孔凝灰岩、多孔硅质岩等,大都分布于地台活化区内,为后地台稳定条件下形成。它们的物相主要为蛋白石、微晶石英或流纹质玻屑等;化学成分上具有高硅、低铝铁等特征;孔隙结构除具有孔径相似、孔形态丰富、孔隙率大、堆密度小及多开孔等相似性外,在微米级孔径范围内（0.1～100μm）,孔隙的大小、形状及抗压强度等方面也具有相异性。因此它们具有与纳米级和毫米级多孔非金属矿不同的应用领域。     

Mineralogy,geochemistry and the origin of high-phosphorus oolitic iron ores of Aswan,Egypt

The Coniacian-Santonian high-phosphorus oolitic iron ore at Aswan area is one of the major iron ore deposits in Egypt. However, there are no reports on its geochemistry, which includes trace and rare earth elements evaluation. Texture, mineralogy and origin of phosphorus that represents the main impurity in these ore deposits have not been discussed in previous studies. In this investigation, iron ores from three localities were subjected to petrographic, mineralogical and geochemical analyses. The Aswan oolitic iron ores consist of uniform size ooids with snowball-like texture and tangentially arranged laminae of hematite and chamosite. The ores also possess detrital quartz, apatite and fine-grained ferruginous chamosite groundmass. In addition to Fe₂O₃, the studied iron ores show relatively high contents of SiO₂ and Al₂O₃ due to the abundance of quartz and chamosite. P₂O₅ ranges from 0.3 to 3.4 wt.% showing strong positive correlation with CaO and suggesting the occurrence of P mainly as apatite. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the occurrence of this apatite as hydroxyapatite. Under the optical microscope and scanning electron microscope, hydroxyapatite occurred as massive and structureless grains of undefined outlines and variable size (5–150 μm) inside the ooids and/or in the ferruginous groundmass. Among trace elements, V, Ba, Sr, Co, Zr, Y, Ni, Zn, and Cu occurred in relatively high concentrations (62–240 ppm) in comparison to other trace elements. Most of these trace elements exhibit positive correlations with SiO₂, Al₂O₃, and TiO₂ suggesting their occurrence in the detrital fraction which includes the clay minerals. ΣREE ranges between 129.5 and 617 ppm with strong positive correlations with P₂O₅ indicating the occurrence of REE in the apatite. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns showed LREE enrichment over HREE ((La/Yb)_N = 2.3–5.4) and negative Eu anomalies (Eu/Eu* = 0.75–0.89). The oolitic texture of the studied ores forms as direct precipitation of iron-rich minerals from sea water in open space near the sediment-water interface by accretion of FeO, SiO_2, and Al₂O₃ around suspended solid particles such as quartz and parts of broken ooliths. The fairly uniform size of the ooids reflects sorting due to the current action. The geochemistry of major and trace elements in the ores reflects their hydrogenous origin. The oolitic iron ores of the Timsha Formation represent a transgressive phase of the Tethys into southern Egypt during the Coniacian-Santonian between the non-marine Turonian Abu Agag and Santonian-Campanian Um Barmil formations. The abundance of detrital quartz, positive correlations between trace elements and TiO₂ and Al₂O₃, and the abundance mudstone intervals within the iron ores supports the detrital source of Fe. This prediction is due to the weathering of adjacent land masses from Cambrian to late Cretaceous. The texture of the apatite and the REE patterns, which occurs entirely in the apatite, exhibits a pattern similar to those in the granite, thus suggesting a detrital origin of the hydroxyapatite that was probably derived from the Precambrian igneous rocks. Determining the mode of occurrence and grain size of hydroxyapatite assists in the maximum utilization of both physical and biological separation of apatite from the Aswan iron ores, and hence encourages the use of these ores as raw materials in the iron making industry.

Mineralogy of Early Cambrian Ni‐Mo Polymetallic Black Shale at the Sancha Deposit,South China: Implications for Ore Genesis

The mineralogy of the Early Cambrian Ni–Mo polymetallic black shale ores at the Sancha deposit, South China, was investigated to better the understanding of the complex ore genesis by optical microscope, electron microprobe, and scanning electron microscope. Analytical results show that the sulfides in the ore bed mainly comprise C/MoS₂ mixed‐layer phase (MoSC), millerite, and pyrite. Of these, MoSC and millerite are the main ore minerals of Mo and Ni, respectively. Pyrite is subdivided into six types based on its morphology, occurrence, relationship to Ni‐ and Mo‐bearing minerals, and chemical composition. Many millerite crystals cut early‐formed MoSC, implying that these two minerals formed at different stages. The concentrations of biogenic elements (e.g., Sb) in the MoSC are high compared with those in millerite, implying a close relationship between MoSC and organic matter. These data provide a new and improved understanding of the complex ore genesis at the Sancha deposit, and can be applied to other black‐shale‐hosted mineral deposits worldwide.     

Morphology and mineralogy of weathering crusts on highly porous oolitic limestones, a case study from Budapest

Black crusts are very common on limestones in polluted urban environments, but white crusts are less frequently developed. On the soft, porous and inherently weak oolitic limestone of Budapest both crusts are frequent, and indeed white ones are more common on the stone walls of the studied fortress. In this paper, black and white crusts and the host rock have been described using morphological criteria, mineralogical analyses (XRD, DTA), elements analyses (microprobe) and micro-morphological (SEM) tests. The analyses have shown that on white crusts the surface dissolution is combined with the precipitation of gypsum and calcite in the pores and accumulation of gypsum on the underside of the crust. Thin white crusts are removed by a combination of salt crystallisation (gypsum) and frost action while very thick stone layers scale off due to freeze-thaw cycles. Black crusts are enriched in gypsum relative to white crusts. Gypsum accumulates on the crust surface and signs of dissolution have not been observed. Airborne particulates (flyash, silt-sized quartz, and organic debris) adhere to the crust surface of sheltered black crusts. These particles are later incorporated into the expanding gypsum crystals, that are visible on the underside of the crust. The host rock also contains gypsum, but it is washed off the surface when the crust is removed. Further exposure of the host rock may lead to the dissolution of calcite crystals as it is observed by SEM. The micro-environment influences the crust formation and adherence of the crusts. On frequently wet and dry surfaces crust removal is more common. The crust serves as a protective layer on the stone surface, but this protection is temporary since trigger mechanisms such as salt crystallisation or frost action can cause rapid surface loss.Special Issue: Stone decay hazards     

法国比利牛斯山Trimouns滑石-绿泥石矿床地质与成因

位于法国比利牛斯山的Trimouns矿床是世界上最大的滑石-绿泥石矿床之一。对该矿床形成的条件及滑石和绿泥石矿石的含量已较清楚。它是由不同类型的岩石通过热液交代蚀变而形成的，主要包括白云岩蚀变为滑石为主的矿石和硅铝质岩石(云母片岩和伟晶岩)蚀变为绿泥石为主的矿石。滑石矿石显示片理化结构(滑石片岩)或压实块状结构(块滑石)。由伟晶岩蚀变而来的绿泥石矿石为呈绿色的球状矿体，而由云母片岩蚀变而来的绿泥石矿石呈块状或片理状、颜色为灰绿色和深灰色。本文对欧洲这个独一无二的滑石和绿泥石矿床的地质特征和成因进行了总结和讨论。流体包裹体研究表明成矿流体为高盐度(20to30％eq．wt％NaCl)、中温(320℃)、压为为2．5kbars。磷钇矿和独居石的U—Ph定年结果表明，成矿年代为112—97Ma，成矿作用可能持续了16Ma以上。     

Ore mineralogy and sulfur isotope study of the massive sulfide deposit of Filon Norte,Tharsis Mine,Spain

The volcanogenic massive sulfide deposit of Filon Norte at Tharsis is hosted by carbonaceous black slate and connected only partly with stockwork veins. The massive ores are usually composed of fine-grained pyrite with subordinate amounts of sphalerite, chalcopyrite, galena and arsenopyrite. Monoclinic pyrrhotite sometimes occurs in massive pyritic ores in the apparently middle and upper horizons of the orebody, and siderite-rich ores are interstratified with compact pyritic ores in the apparently lower horizons. From the occurrence of monoclinic pyrrhotite, together with the FeS contents of sphalerite mostly ranging from 11 to 16 mol %, it is inferred that the sulfide minerals of the massive orebody were precipitated in euxinic muds on the sea-floor at temperatures below 250°C. The negatively shifted, highly variable ³⁴S values of the massive ores and their close similarity to those of the underlying black slates strongly suggest that the sulfide sulfur of the massive orebody and the slates is cognate and biogenic.     

The Fluid Evolution Related to Talc Mineralization in the Hwanggangri Area, South Korea

Abstract: Scores of talc deposits distributed in the Hwanggangri Mineralized Zone, South Korea are interpreted to have resulted from the contact metamorphic process related to the igneous intrusion of the Muamsa Granite. Talc usually occurs as an alteration product from tremolite, which is crystallized during the prograde stage. It commonly forms fine–grained, fibrous aggregates, or pseudomorphs after tremolite, and abundant tremolite is included as impurities in the talc ore. Quantitative X-ray diffraction analysis has shown that the ores can be divided into three types depending on the concentrations of talc; talc-tremolite ore (talc > 50 %), tremolite-talc ore (10 % < talc < 50 %), and tremolite (talc < 10 %) ores. Oxygen isotope compositions of those talc ores become higher from 10.9–12.1 through 11.6–12.3 to 11.9–13.2% with increasing tremolite concentrations, while hydrogen isotope compositions are not so variable, –73 to –69%. The high value of the calculated δ¹⁸O_H2O of the fluids equilibrated with the tremolite may have resulted from the mixing of magmatic water with ¹⁸O–enriched CO₂ evolved from the decarbonation reaction during the prograde stage. However, as the decarbonation reaction ceased during the retrograde stage, the inferred oxygen isotope compositions of talc-forming fluids show similar values to those of the igneous fluids.     

Geochemistry of oolitic iron ores of different facies in the northern Aral region

The REE distribution in alluvial, deltaic, liman, and lacustrine oolitic iron ores in the northern Aral region is analyzed. In general, the iron ores are relatively enriched in LREE. The REE distribution patterns are sufficiently similar in different facies, although the contents may slightly vary owing to specific features of the mineral and chemical compositions.Translated from Litologiya i Poleznye Iskopaemye, No. 2, 2005, pp. 215–219.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Golubovskaya.     

四川盆地三叠系飞仙关组气藏储层成岩作用研究拾零

近年来在四川盆地三叠系飞仙关组鲕粒白云岩储层中发现的高含硫天然气三级储量已近1×1012 m3。鲕粒白云岩储层集中分布在含蒸发岩的层序中,储层中有残余石膏、硬石膏及它们的模孔、方解石铸模（假象）等,表明白云石化流体与蒸发海水有关。白云石化由层间古暴露面向下增强的成岩层序说明这种白云石化是成岩早期发生的,并可能有大气降水与蒸发海水混合的影响。白云岩样品各结构组分氧、碳同位素微区测试数据差别显著,这说明采用岩石混合样做研究白云石化成因的地球化学分析可能导致误解。飞仙关组的白云岩中多数保存了原岩结构幻影、结构残余或原岩的全部结构说明白云石化过程是等体积交代。白云岩储层中的孔隙是各种溶蚀孔而非白云石化等摩尔交代的体积收缩孔。飞仙关组高含硫气藏储层中沥青和溶蚀孔的关系表明深埋晚期溶蚀孔最发育。在溶液中碳酸的电离常数大大高于氢硫酸,飞仙关组高含硫气藏天然气组分中的CO2相对于H2S的质量亏损和储层中有富轻碳的高温方解石充填晚期溶孔、裂缝表明储层中的晚期溶解作用是由硫酸盐热还原过程（TSR）中生成的CO2引起的。     

Ore Genesis and Geochemical Characteristics of Carbonate‐Hosted Talc Deposits in Nangarhar Province,Afghanistan

Talc deposits in Nangarhar Province, are hosted by Paleoproterozoic carbonate rocks, metamorphosed to amphibolite facies in the east–west (E–W) trending Spinghar Fault Block. Many deposits in this province have potential economic importance. However, detailed geologic and petrological studies on ore genesis are still lacking. In this study, eight talc deposits and two prospects of the Spinghar Fault Block were investigated. Talc is mainly formed by alteration of the host dolomite marble, magnesite rocks, and tremolitite. Talc ore bodies occur parallel to subparallel to the beddings of the host carbonate rocks. Dolerite occur as dikes and sills and are mostly metamorphosed to amphibolite. Although the amphibolite occurs mostly parallel to subparallel to the beddings of the host carbonate rocks, and talc orebodies, it partly crosscuts the host rocks. Massive layers of tremolitite were observed with most of the talc ore bodies. Quartz veins occur along the gneissosity of gneiss all over the study area. SiO₂ and MgO content in talc rocks from all deposits ranged from 49.1 to 65.1 wt% and from 26.1 to 32.9 wt%, respectively. CaO content in talc rocks and magnesite rocks are less than 1 wt%. ƩREE content in talc rocks ranged from 0.1 to 8.9 ppm. Chemical compositions of host carbonate rocks are close to the ideal composition. Concentrations of Al, Ta, Hf, Zr, Th, Cr, Ni, Co, and ƩREE in talc ores and host carbonate rocks were very low and inconsistent with mafic and ultramafic rocks protolith. Therefore, the metamorphosed sedimentary carbonate rocks were likely to be the protolith of the talc ores. The occurrence of parallel to subparallel quartz veins to the gneissosity of gneiss, as well as the presence of hydrous minerals in host carbonate rocks, suggested that hydrothermal fluids were most probably supplied through the gneiss.     

吉尔吉斯斯坦Taldybulak Levoberezhny(左岸)金矿地质特征及金属矿物学研究

Taldybulak Levoberezhny(又称左岸)矿床位于吉尔吉斯斯坦北天山东段,是区内第三大金矿(金储量130 t,平均品位6.9 g/t)。长期以来,该矿床矿物学研究薄弱,成因类型存在争议,已有观点包括斑岩型、造山型、多阶段叠加成矿等。野外地质调查及室内岩相学鉴定发现：金矿化同时受韧性剪切带和岩体控制,局部显示一定的顺层特征;常见矿石类型包括浸染细脉浸染型、石英电气石硫化物型、块状硫化物型、稀疏浸染型、方解石硫化物脉型等;相关围岩蚀变以硅化、绢云母化、电气石化、碳酸盐化最为强烈,可见绿泥石化、绿帘石化、泥化等。电子探针分析发现,左岸金矿同时发育可见金和不可见金。前者包括银金矿(w(Au)=67.90%~80.86%,w(Ag)=14.24%~30.76%)、含银自然金(w(Au)=88.95%,w(Ag)=8.09%)等,以包体金、裂隙金或粒间金形式赋存于黄铁矿中。后者可赋存于黄铁矿和黄铜矿中(w(Au)=0.16%~0.33%)。不同类型矿石中黄铁矿的形态、结构、成分存在一定差异,显示了叠加成矿的可能性。浸染状细脉浸染型矿石中黄铁矿以中粗粒(30~1 300 μm,多数>200 μm)、半自形自形立方体为主,基本无碎裂或碎裂不明显,可含有自然金、银金矿或硅酸盐包体;成分上具有中等的As(0.03%~1.72%,平均0.66%)、Co(0.06%~0.19%,平均0.13%)、Te(0.03%~0.06%,平均0.04%)含量和As/S、Fe/S、Co/As比值,基本不含Cu、Pb、Zn、Ag。石英电气石硫化物型矿石中黄铁矿多呈中粗粒(30~2 000 μm)、半自形它形粒状,往往发生碎裂,并被黄铜矿、方铅矿等矿物交代;部分颗粒可含有银金矿或硅酸盐包体;总体具有较高的As(0.05%~2.05%,平均0.97%)、Co(0.05%~0.34%,平均0.15%)含量和As/S、Fe/S比值,Co/As比值较低。块状硫化物型矿石中黄铁矿多呈半自形它形粒状产出,但粒度变化较大(250~3 000 μm或者30~300 μm);化学成分上以较高的As(0.05%~2.20%,平均1.21%)、Te(0.04%~0.09%,平均0.06%)含量,高的As/S、Fe/S比值和低的Co/As比值为特征。稀疏浸染型矿石中黄铁矿呈中粒(集中于50~200 μm)、半自形它形粒状产出,内部可含有硫化物、硅酸盐、银金矿、自然金等包体;可发生碎裂并被黄铜矿等沿裂隙充填交代;化学成分变化较大,总体具有较高的Co(0.08%~1.04%,平均0.35%)含量和Co/As比值,几乎不含Te、Cu、Zn。方解石硫化物脉型矿石中黄铁矿呈中粗粒(40~480 μm)、半自形它形粒状产出,内部往往含硅酸盐等包体;黄铁矿以显著低的As(0.04%~0.08%,平均0.06%)、Co含量(0.04%~0.20%,平均0.10%)以及As/S、Fe/S比值为特征,Co/As比值较高,且不含Zn。从上述左岸金矿的控矿构造、矿化类型、围岩蚀变以及不同类型矿石中黄铁矿形态、结构、成分的差异等4方面特征显示,左岸金矿可能存在多期次矿化、叠加成矿。     

Lower Ordovician iron ooids and associated oolitic clays in Russia and Estonia: a clue to the origin of iron oolites?

On the Baltic platform a lower Llanvirn (Ordovician) iron oolite can be traced for a distance of 1200 km from Norway to the east of Lake Ladoga in Russia. This oolite is usually thin (seldom exceeding 0.5 m) and is dominated by goethite (limonite) type ooids. The easternmost part of the oolite, from Tallinn to Ladoga, is examined here. The oolitic limestone is intercalated with oolitic clay beds. The mineralogical, chemical and isotopic composition and other indicators point to volcanic ash being the source for the clay. Similarities in REE distribution patterns and immobile element contents between ooids and the oolitic clay suggest that the ooids were also formed from volcanic ash.     

浙江缙云壶镇盆地一带沸石矿石矿物特征及物化性能分析

运用X射线衍射、扫描电镜形貌研究及微区化学成分分析等手段,对浙江省缙云县壶镇盆地及其外围沸石矿床沸石进行系统研究,确定其矿物组成主要为斜发沸石和丝光沸石,二者可单独产出,也可形成混合型矿石。研究区矿石在成分上属高硅型沸石,SiO2/Al2O3比值接近于8,有害元素Fe,Mn,Ti等质量分数很低。物化性能测试表明,浙江省缙云县壶镇盆地及其外围沸石矿为高品级沸石矿,矿石NH4＋交换容量为163 mmol/100 g～212 mmol/100 g,K＋交换容量为15.73×10-3～19.30×10-3,氮气吸附能力为13.1 ml/g～21.0 ml/g,比表面积测试值为157.17 m^2/g～191.50 m^2/g,具有良好的开发应用前景。     

江西广丰杨村超大型滑石矿床成因探讨

江西广丰杨村滑石矿储量达上亿吨,是世界上超大型滑石矿床之一。矿石主要由鲕粒状滑石组成,含少量石英和碳酸盐矿物及浸染状有机质,具有典型的沉积鲕粒状结构;赋矿围岩白云岩硅化较强烈。研究结果表明,白云岩与滑石矿页岩标准化稀土元素分配模式基本一致,重稀土元素相对轻稀土元素弱富集,稀土元素总量低,弱负铈异常,并且它们具有相同的87Sr/86Sr比值(0.7092~0.7101),白云岩的δ13CV-PDB值变化范围在-4.9‰~+0.7‰之间,与同期海水大体一致。这些地球化学特征暗示了滑石矿和白云岩具有相同的物质来源,滑石成矿所需的镁可能来源于海水。部分样品显示正铕异常,且白云岩中δ18OV-SMOW值(+14.5‰~+19.7‰)较同期海水偏低,87Sr/86Sr比值比同期海水稍高,暗示成矿物质并非由海水单一提供,可能还有高87Sr/86Sr比值、富硅的热液提供了成矿所需的硅。综合滑石和白云岩岩相学和地球化学特征,认为江西广丰杨村滑石矿为同生热水沉积成因,滑石中镁来源于富镁海水,硅来源于海水下渗淋滤古老硅铝质地层形成的富硅、高87Sr/86Sr比值的热液,海水中镁与热液中硅结合形成滑石。滑石矿在经历了同生沉积-热液期之后,又受到了后期强烈的变质变形作用的叠加,形成了具片理构造的滑石片岩。     

Mineralogy,geochemistry and origin of Mn in the high-Mn iron ores,Bahariya Oasis,Egypt

Although Mn is one of the major impurities in the economic iron ores from the Bahariya Oasis, information on its modes of occurrence and origin is lacking in previous studies. High-Mn iron ores from El Gedida and Ghorabi–Nasser iron mines were subjected to detailed mineralogical, geochemical, and petrographic investigations using X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared absorption spectrometry (IR), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray fluorescence (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA) to clarify the modes of occurrence of Mn in these deposits and its origin. The results showed that the MnO₂ contents range between 0.03 and 13.9 wt.%. Three mineralogical types have been identified for the Mn in the high-Mn iron ores, including: (1) inclusions within the hematite and goethite and/or Mn accumulated on their active surfaces, (2) coarse-grained and crystalline pyrolusite, and (3) fine-grained cement-like Mn oxide and hydroxide minerals (bixbyite, cryptomelane, aurorite, romanechite, manjiroite, and pyrochroite) between the Fe-bearing minerals. The Mn carbonate mineral (rhodochrosite) was detected only in the Ghorabi–Nasser high-Mn iron ores. Since IR patterns of low-Mn and high-Mn samples are almost the same, a combination of XRD analysis using non-filtered Fe-Kα radiations and Raman spectroscopy could be the best way to identify and distinguish between different Mn minerals.Assuming that both Fe and Mn were derived from the same source, the occurrence of high-Mn iron ores at the base of the stratigraphic section of the deposits overlain by the low-Mn iron ores indicated a supergene origin of the studied ores by descending solutions. The predominance of Mn oxide and hydroxide minerals in botryoidal shapes supports this interpretation. The small grain size of Mn-bearing minerals as well as the features of microbial fossils such as spherical, elliptical, and filamentous shapes of the Fe-bearing minerals suggested a microbial origin of studied iron ores.Variations in the distribution and mineralogy types of Mn in the iron ores of the Bahariya Oasis demanded detailed mineralogical and petrographic characterizations of the deposits before the beneficiation of high-Mn iron ores from the Bahariya Oasis as feedstock for the ironmaking industries in Egypt by magnetizing reduction. High Mn contents, especially in the Ghorabi–Nasser iron ore and occurrence of Mn as inclusions and/or accumulated on the surface of the Fe-bearing minerals would suggest a possible utilization of the high-Mn iron ores to produce ferromanganese alloys.     

Problems of Siderite Formation and Iron Ore Epochs: Communication 1. Types of Siderite-Bearing Iron Ore Deposits

It is shown that siderite is unstable during sedimentation, diagenesis, and metamorphism of sedimentary and volcanosedimentary rocks. Regularities in the distribution of siderite in Precambrian jaspilites (iron formations), metasomatic ores of the Bakal type, continental–marine coaliferous formations, and oolitic iron ores are discussed. The genesis of the Precambrian iron formations and Riphean–Lower Paleozoic elisional–hydrothermal deposits is considered. The genetic relation of nodular siderites from coaliferous formations and oolitic iron ores with lowmoor coal-forming peat deposits is noted.     

滇东南中三叠统法郎组锰矿床微生物成因的新证据
