烟曲霉对蛇纹石和橄榄石风化作用的试验研究

含镁硅酸盐矿物是重要自然资源,国内外大都采用传统的化学方法进行开发利用,而微生物法释放含镁硅酸盐矿物中镁和硅的研究还未见报道。试验采用摇瓶培养与对照结合的方法研究烟曲霉(Aspergillusfumigatus)对含镁硅酸盐矿物——蛇纹石和橄榄石的风化作用。试验采用ICP-OES测定第5、10、20、30 d培养液滤液中Mg2+和Si的含量,同时对相应试样的pH值和代谢产物进行分析测定,采用SEM和TEM观察作用后的微生物-矿物聚集体。结果表明,烟曲霉作用蛇纹石和橄榄石试样滤液中的Mg2+和Si含量变化不仅与烟曲霉生长状况有关,而且与矿物的晶体结构相关,蛇纹石较橄榄石更易被烟曲霉风化;另外烟曲霉在生长过程中产生的酸性代谢产物有助于对矿物的风化;SEM和TEM观察结果直观地显示出烟曲霉对蛇纹石和橄榄石的风化作用痕迹。综合分析认为,烟曲霉对蛇纹石和橄榄石的风化作用应该是酸溶作用、菌丝对矿物的穿插包裹和菌丝体对养分的吸收等方式协同作用的综合效果。研究结果为探讨真菌与矿物相互作用的过程与机理以及为微生物法开发蛇纹石和橄榄石矿产资源提供了基础资料。     

镁橄榄石与顽火辉石的分离方法

镁橄榄石与顽火辉石均属含镁的硅酸盐矿物,两者在比重、磁化率等物理性质上颇为接近,因此用重选和电磁选难以分离。如果在双目镜下挑选,既费时间,质量也难以保证。为了解决这两者的分离问题,我们曾对陕西松树沟SW—16和SW—4号样品反复试验,先用一般方法除去其它矿物,然后根据浮选原理,选用H_2SO_4作调整剂,月桂胺作捕收剂,从

微生物对硅酸盐矿物风化作用研究进展

微生物对硅酸盐矿物风化的影响研究取得了一系列重要进展。在贫营养环境中,微生物风化硅酸盐矿物获取营养物质,加速了硅酸盐矿物的风化;由于微生物的作用,矿物的风化会不遵循正常的矿物化学风化序列,表现出稳定矿物比不稳定矿物更易风化的特征。微生物风化硅酸盐矿物时会在硅酸盐矿物表面留下痕迹,即富集或转移相应的元素和矿物,而且还能改变硅酸盐矿物的化学组成和结构。微生物的上述行为受营养基质含量、有机酸、生物膜、胞外聚合物以及氧化还原作用的影响。     

甘肃金川铜镍矿石中MgO对浮选的影响

金川铜镍矿浮选精矿中MgO高,影响闪速熔炼。对金川主力矿山二矿区矿石中MgO分布特征与赋存状态的研究,分析影响浮选过程中MgO难以抑制原因。认为矿石本身MgO含量高、矿石蚀变严重、含镁矿物自然可浮性的良好是造成精矿中MgO高的主要原因。提出研究含镁矿物的浮选特性和矿石的矿物组成特点是精矿降镁的前提。

Interactions between <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus mucilaginosus</Emphasis> and silicate minerals (weathered adamellite and feldspar): Weathering rate,products, and reaction mechanisms

Bacillus mucilaginosus is a common soil bacterium,and usually used as a model bacterium in studying microbe-mineral interactions.Several reaction mechanisms of B.mucilaginosus weathering silicate minerals were proposed.However,the molecule mechanisms and detailed processes were still unclear.In this paper,bacterium-mineral interactions were studied in terms of variations in pH value over the experimental period,variations in mineral composition,weathering rates of silicate minerals and volatile metabolites in the culture medium,etc.,to further explore the bacterium-mineral interaction mechanisms.The results showed that B.mucilaginosus could enhance silicate mineral weathering obviously.The weathering rates were quite different for various kinds of silicate minerals,and the weathering rate of weathered adamellite could reach 150 mg/m2/d.Although B.mucilaginosus produced little acidic substance,pH in the microenvironment of bacterium-mineral complex might be far lower than that of the circumjacent environment;a large amount of acetic acid was found in the metabolites,and was likely to play an important role as a ligand.These results appear to suggest that acidolysis and ligand degradation are the main mechanisms of B.mucilaginosus dissolving silicate minerals,the formation of bacterium-mineral complexes is the necessary condition for the bacteria weathering silicate minerals,and extracelluar polysaccharides played important roles in bacterium-mineral interaction processes by forming bacterium-mineral complexes and maintaining the spe-cial physicochemical properties of microenvironment.     

Rock weathering by indigenous heterotrophic bacteria of Bacillus spp. at different temperature: a laboratory experiment

The bio-weathering of basalt, granite and gneiss was experimentally investigated in this study. These rock-forming minerals weathered more rapidly via the ubiquitous psychrotrophic heterotrophic bacteria. With indigenous bacteria of Bacillus spp. from sediments of Lake Baikal, we traced the degradation process of silicate minerals to understand the weathering processes occurring at the change temperature in the subsurface environment with organic input. The bacteria mediated dissolution of minerals was monitored with solution and solid chemistry, X-ray analyses as well as microscopic techniques. We determined the impact of the bacteria on the mineral surface and leaching of K, Ca, Mg, Si, Fe, and Al from silicate minerals. In the samples the release of major structural elements of silicates was used as an overall indicator of silicate mineral degradation at 4°C and 18°C from five medium exchanges over 255?days of rock bioleaching. The increase of temperature importantly affected the efficiency of Fe extraction from granite and basalt as well as Si extraction from granite and gneiss. In comparison with elemental extraction order at 4°C, Ca was substituted first by Fe or Si. It is evident that temperature influences rock microbial weathering and results in a change of elements extraction.     

Mechanisms of weathering of meteorites recovered from hot and cold deserts and the formation of phyllosilicates

Petrographic, mineralogical and chemical analysis of naturally weathered equilibrated ordinary chondrites collected from ‘ hot’ deserts and Antarctica has revealed striking similarities and also pronounced differences in weathering between the two environments. Terrestrial weathering in all meteorites studied is dominated by oxidation and hydration of Fe,Ni metal, producing Fe-oxides and oxyhydroxides that have partially replaced the metal grains and have also occluded primary intergranular pores to form veins. Troilite weathers readily in ‘ hot’ desert environments but undergoes very little alteration under Antarctic conditions. Most of the primary porosity of ordinary chondrites has been occluded by the time that ∼ 15 to 25% of the initial Fe⁰ and Fe²⁺ has been oxidised to Fe³⁺ in both environments. Results from modelling the volume changes upon alteration of primary minerals to a range of weathering products demonstrates that the primary porosity of most meteorites is sufficient to accommodate weathering products. Dilation of primary pores and brecciation, which has been observed in parts of some meteorites, will only occur if the meteorite is especially metal-rich, or has a low primary porosity. These weathering products are absent from recent falls but have formed in a fall after ∼ 100 yr of museum storage.Cl-bearing akaganéite and hibbingite are common weathering products in Antarctic finds but occur in abundance in only one ‘ hot’ desert meteorite, Daraj 014. The majority of Fe-rich weathering products in meteorites from both environments contain low, but variable concentrations of Si, Mg and Ca. In most meteorites a proportion of these elements are inferred to be present as a very finely crystalline mineral with a ∼ 1.0-nm lattice fringe spacing; where seen within intragranular fractures this mineral has a topotactic relationship with olivine and orthopyroxene. In the heavily-weathered Antarctic finds ALHA 78045 and 77002, Si is concentrated in cronstedtite, a Fe-rich phyllosilicate. An unidentified hydrous Si-Fe-Ni-Mg mineral or gel has also partially replaced taenite in ALHA 78045. In addition to Fe-rich weathering products, ‘ hot’ desert meteorites contain sulphates, Ca-carbonate and silica, whereas such minerals are largely absent from Antarctic finds. The abundance of silicate weathering products in Antarctic meteorites is unexpected and indicates that olivine and pyroxene undergo significant chemical weathering in these environments. As preterrestrial cronstedtite is abundant in CM2 carbonaceous chondrites, the Antarctic environment may be a powerful analog for aqueous alteration in the asteroidal parent bodies of primitive meteorites.     

Weathering of phosphorus-bearing mineral powder and calcium phosphate by Aspergillus niger

The weathering of phosphorus-bearing mineral powder(PBMP) and calcium phosphate(CP) by Aspergillus niger was compared,and the mechanism involved was analyzed for the comprehensive utilization of PBMP.The concentration of water-soluble phosphorus(WSP),Mg2+,and Ca2+at different culture times,microstructures of particles,and mineral compositions was examined by ultraviolet-visible spectrometer(UV),atomic absorption spectrometry(AAS),scanning electron microscopy(SEM),and X-ray diffraction(XRD).Results showed that the change in the concentrations of WSP,Mg2+,and Ca2+were related to the growth of A.niger and the different mineral compositions.Compared with CP,PBMP was weathered harder by fungi.Traces of the weathered mineral were found through SEM.CP not only showed traces of erosion damage but also appeared as a rhombohedron-like substance.The XRD test indicated that the weathering minerals can form water calcium oxalate.Further analysis revealed that the mechanism of PBMP and CP weathering by A.niger was the collaborative result of mycelium biomechanical effects and the acid-soluble role of acidic metabolites.The phosphorus dissolution rate of PBMP after 20 d was 46.83%,whereas that of CP after 12 d was 91.01%.The findings of this study are significant to the effective use of waste PBMP and to the exploitation of low-grade phosphate rock resources.     

蛇绿岩中铬铁岩母岩浆的富Ca特征:矿物包裹体证据

铬铁矿作为蛇绿岩中的重要矿产,其成矿母岩浆性质及演化一直存在较大争议.铬铁矿的矿物包裹体同时或先于铬铁矿结晶,其成分和类别能很好地记录成矿母岩浆性质和演化过程.土耳其Pozant?-Karsant?蛇绿岩不同类型铬铁岩的铬铁矿中发现了多种类型包裹体:不含水硅酸盐矿物（如橄榄石和单斜辉石）、含水硅酸盐矿物（如角闪石和金云母）、复合型矿物包裹体（如蛇纹石、硅灰石和单斜辉石的复合型包裹体）和不常见矿物（如磷灰石、铂族元素硫化物）.含水矿物包裹体的出现以及矿物的高Mg#特征（如橄榄石Fo=95.4~97.1;单斜辉石Mg#=92.0~99.9;角闪石Mg#=88.9~99.8）表明结晶铬铁矿的母岩浆具有富水、富Mg的特征.同时,除钙铬榴石和磷灰石的包裹体外,在铬铁矿中首次发现富Ca矿物方解石和硅灰石,其中方解石和菱镁矿以复合型包裹体形式产出,硅灰石则分布于蛇纹石矿物包裹体中.这些富Ca矿物的出现以及硅酸盐矿物的高CaO含量均揭示了铬铁岩母岩浆的富Ca特征.母岩浆中的Ca组分可能来源于俯冲板块中富Ca岩石/矿物的部分熔融,Ca离子的大量出现使得Cr3+在熔体中更加稳定,同时富Ca矿物的结晶促进了岩浆中Cr的进一步富集而利于铬铁矿的大量结晶沉淀.      

含钾岩石微生物转化的分子机制及其碳汇效应

岩石矿物的微生物风化是地球表层系统最为活跃和普遍发生的地质营力之一。微生物对含钾岩石(以硅酸盐矿物为主)的风化能够释放其中的钾、硅和钙等元素,并在合适的环境条件下促进矿物元素的碳酸化沉淀,这是地表元素地球化学循环的重要环节之一。微生物对岩石的生物转化作用既涉及微生物的生长繁殖和代谢调控,也与元素的迁移转化和次生矿物的演化序列有关,具有重要研究价值。采用矿物学、微生物学和分子生物学等相结合的研究方法,有助于系统地研究微生物促进含钾硅酸盐矿物的风化并耦联碳酸化过程及其分子调控机制。研究证实,在纯培养条件下,微生物风化含钾矿物主要采用酸解、螯合、氧化还原等多种方式的协同作用,并可通过调控相关功能基因的表达来响应缺钾的环境以实现其对含钾矿物的有效风化,显然这有赖于微生物通过长期进化而形成的精细的分子调控机制。在土壤生态环境中,微生物对矿物风化的显著特征是该生态环境中微生物群落协同互作的群体作用效应。微生物碳酸酐酶参与的硅酸盐矿物风化伴随碳酸盐矿物的形成过程可能是个长期被忽视的地表碳增汇过程,对该问题的深入探索有助于进一步理解地质演化历史中微生物对碳素迁移转化的驱动机制。加入含钾硅酸盐矿粉的有机肥已经显示出其在土壤改良、作物生长和增加土壤碳汇等方面的正面应用效果,这为利用硅酸盐矿物的生物风化作用来延缓大气CO₂浓度的持续升高提供了新的思路。介绍了有关微生物对含钾岩石生物转化释放钾素的分子机理及其碳汇效应方面的研究进展,以期抛砖引玉,推动该领域研究的快速发展。     

Geochemical mass balance and weathering rates of ultramafic schists in Amazonia

The hydrochemical balance of the Yaou catchment in French Guiana was determined over a period of 1 year, combined with a detailed characterization of the primary minerals and their weathering products, in order to estimate ultramafic rock weathering rates in a rainforest environment. The time required to develop the main horizons of the laterite profile was obtained from estimations of the weathering rates and dissolution kinetics of some major parent minerals (chlorite, serpentine, biotite, calcite).

The specific transport of solute matter in the catchment is 205 kg/ha/a. The Cl and NO₃ net outputs shows that the system is in dynamic equilibrium, notably with respect to the biomass reservoir. The output flux of Mg in solution is mainly supplied from the weathering of primary minerals, whereas that of Ca comes both from atmospheric contributions and from the dissolution of carbonates. The fluxes of K and, more particularly, Na derive essentially from the atmosphere. Knowing the weathering rate of primary minerals, the total CO₂ consumption rate by silicate weathering is estimated at 1430 mol/ha/a.

The weathering rates of chlorite, serpentine and biotite range from 18 to 65 mol/ha/a, and those of talc and calcite are, respectively 51 and 153 mol/ha/a. Weathering rates normalized to mineral modal proportions give a decreasing order of stability resistance to weathering (calcitebiotitechlorite>serpentine>talc) that agrees with their vertical distribution in the weathering profile. The dissolution kinetics of chlorite, biotite and serpentine, expressed in relation to the Si release rate, were calculated using estimations of the mineral exchange surface by (a) optical microscope image processing of crystal outlines, and (b) BET specific surface measurements. The release rate of Si, computed for biotite, chlorite and serpentine, ranges around 10⁻¹³ and 10⁻¹⁴ mol/m²/s using microscope images on particle sizes. The estimated dissolution kinetics is two orders of magnitude lower when using the BET measured exchange surface, which is 100 times larger.

The saprolitization rate, calculated from the weathering rates of calcite, chlorite and biotite, is on average 7.5 m/Ma. The rate of latosol development, calculated from the weathering rate of serpentine at the saprolite–latosol interface, is estimated at 4.5 m/Ma. That means that the profile is chemically thickening at a rate of 3 m/Ma.     

苏皖玄武岩土壤中风尘的识别及风化特征

风尘传输与沉降影响生态系统和元素的生物地球化学循环,对其在成壤作用中的识别与贡献进行研究有重要意义。文章选择在非风尘沉降区的苏皖玄武岩台地典型的两个风化剖面（安徽明光梅花村和江苏盱眙宝塔村）和部分表土及水系沉积物样品,系统分析主要矿物、粘土矿物、常量元素、微量元素及Sr、Nd同位素组成。结果显示,玄武岩基岩基本由斜长石和辉石组成,而风化基岩则主要由蒙脱石构成,风化土壤则出现基岩和风化基岩中未出现的石英、伊利石等风尘特征矿物;基岩和风化基岩以高Mg,低Si、K,无Eu异常等特征,风化土壤则以高Si、K,低Mg,负Eu异常等特征;基岩和风化基岩的εNd偏正,⁸⁶Sr/⁸⁷Sr值较低,而风化土壤εNd偏负,⁸⁶Sr/⁸⁷Sr值较高;各种证据都显示风尘对风化土壤有重要贡献,通过Nd同位素混合模式计算,风尘对土壤的贡献达60%以上。玄武岩风化表现为完全的蒙脱石化,为显著的去Ca、Mg作用,在梅花村剖面,表层土壤出现Ce负异常,而在下部层位出现Ce正异常,研究还发现在风尘的加积作用,土壤的Si、K含量得以上升。受相对较大的玄武岩台地高程差影响,玄武岩风化产物和沉降的风尘易被降水侵蚀,造成风化剖面较薄,促使玄武岩风化处于“供应限制”模式。本次工作为玄武岩的风化机制,风尘在元素地球化学循环中的作用等提供了新的地质证据。
