Modification to the crystal structure of chlorite during early stages of its dissolution

Early stage processes of Mg-rich chlorite (clinochlore) dissolution were examined, focusing especially on the structural modification at grain edges during dissolution. Focused ion beam transmission electron microscopy sample preparation was applied to crystals dissolved in a flow-through reaction system at pH 3.0 and 25°C for 31 days. The obtained Si and Mg dissolution rates are −11.49 and −11.14 (logR, mol/(m²/s)), respectively, implying dissolution is non-stoichiometric. TEM-EDX analyses of dissolved samples reveal the development of 20–50-nm thick amorphous zone at an outermost rim with a chemical gradient of Mg, lower towards the solid surface, and Si enrichment in this amorphous zone. Crystalline material is partially interwoven with amorphous one at the interface between the amorphous and crystalline regions. These results indicate that the amorphous zone was produced by selective leaching of cations except for Si. Chlorite dissolution may proceed via the formation and thickening of leached layer as a by-product of release to solution of Si at slightly slower rate than Mg.

Mechanism of kaolinite dissolution at room temperature and pressure Part II: kinetic study

Studies on the dissolution kinetics of kaolinite were performed using batch reactors at 25°C and in the pH range from 1 to 13. A rapid initial dissolution step was first observed, followed by a linear kinetic stage reached after approximately 600 hr of reaction during which the kaolinite dissolves congruently at pH < 4 and pH > 11. The apparent incongruency between pH 5 and 10 was due to the precipitation of an Al–hydroxide phase. The true dissolution rates were computed from the amount of Si released into solution. The rate dependence on pH can be described by: r = 10−12.19aH+0.55 + 10−14.36 + 10−10.71aOH−0.75Between pH 5 and 10, the rate is approximately constant, although a smooth minimum was observed at pH close to 9. mAn attempt was made to obtain a general rate law based on the coordination theory, which was first applied to the mineral dissolution studies by Stumm and co-workers. The kinetic data were combined with the results obtained for the surface speciation by Huertas et al. (1998). It is possible to express the linear dissolution rate as a simple power function of the concentration of the surface sites active in various pH ranges: r = 10−8.25 [>Al2OH2+] + 10−10.82 [>AlOH2+]0.5 + 10−9.1 [>Al2OH + >AlOH + >SiOH] + 103.78 [>Al2O− + >AlO−]3This equation assumes that the dissolution mechanism is mainly controlled by the two Al surface sites (external and internal structural hydroxyls, and aluminol at the crystal edges) under both acidic and alkaline conditions. The model reflects well the important contribution of the crystal basal planes to the dissolution of kaolinite.     

生命起源、早期演化阶段与海洋环境演变

近年的研究表明,地球生命可能起源于距今39~36亿年之间。除了碳元素以外,水、氮、氢、磷等元素也是生命起源的必备条件,黏土矿物和金属硫化物是有机质合成的重要催化剂,有热液活动的碱性热水环境是最有利生命发生的孵化场。自原核生物在约3.5 Ga出现之后,生命就一直表现为与环境的协同进化关系。大气圈氧化是地球史上最重大的地质事件之一,它不仅改变了地球表层环境条件、加速了表生地质过程和新矿物的产生,而且改变了海洋化学条件和元素循环。大气圈氧化事件的根本在于产氧蓝细菌的出现,元古宙中期海洋化学性质的整体转换也与微生物过程密切相关。新元古代多细胞生物的繁盛和末期后生动物的出现及其在寒武纪初期的快速多样化是生物圈演化的重大飞跃。这个过程也与海洋氧化增强及其导致的海洋化学变化密切相关,其中硫化水域消失和减弱以及海水中微营养元素可得性增加可能是重要因素,这也与微生物过程直接相关。     

砂岩分级加卸载蠕变试验过程能量演化分析

对陕西柠条塔砂岩样品进行单轴分级加卸载蠕变试验,分析样品变形破坏过程中的能量演化规律。结果表明:随循环级数增加,各级耗散能非线性增长,各级塑性应变能相对稳定;耗散能超过塑性应变能可作为样品破坏的先兆能量特征。通过定义相关系数,建立能量与变形之间的关系后发现:随循环级数增加,各级塑性应变能与各级新增塑性应变呈正相关性,各级耗散能与塑性应变累积量呈正相关性。分别对加载、蠕变、卸载及恢复等4个阶段的能量计算后得出:各阶段能量演化速率均随循环级数的增加而增大。加、卸载速率恒定时,加载段能量变化率大于同级卸载段能量变化率,蠕变段能量变化率大于同级恢复段能量变化率。通过分析各级循环加载段能量变化规律,提出能量衰减系数λ,该值随应力水平增长呈幂函数形式降低,以此提出一种可以有效预测破坏应力的方法。     

Thermal interaction of middle and upper crust during gneiss dome formation: example from the Montagne Noire (French Massif Central)

This paper aims to decipher the thermal evolution of the Montagne Noire Axial Zone (MNAZ, southern French Massif Central) gneiss core and its metasedimentary cover through determination of P–T paths and temperature gradients. Migmatitic gneiss from the core of the dome record a clockwise evolution culminating at 725 ± 25 °C and 0.8 ± 0.1 GPa with partial melting, followed by a decompression path with only minor cooling to 690 ± 25° C and 0.4 ± 0.1 GPa. Field structural analyses as well as detailed petrological observations indicate that the cover sequence experienced LP‐HT metamorphism. Apparent thermal gradients within the cover were determined with garnet–biotite thermometry and Raman Spectroscopy on Carbonaceous Matter. High‐temperature apparent gradients (e.g. ～530 °C km^?1 along one transect) are explained by late brittle–ductile extensional shearing evidenced by phyllonites that post‐date peak metamorphism. In areas where normal faults are less abundant and closely spaced, gradients of ～20 to 50 °C km^?1 are calculated. These gradients can be accounted for by a combination of dome emplacement and ductile shearing (collapse of isotherms), without additional heat input. Finally, the thermal evolution of the MNAZ is typical for many gneiss domes worldwide as well as with other LP‐HT terranes in the Variscides.     

华北克拉通东南部太古宙英云闪长岩—奥长花岗岩—花岗闪长岩形成及演化

华北克拉通是世界范围内少数保存有大量太古宙英云闪长岩—奥长花岗岩—花岗闪长岩(TTG)及多期次岩浆事件记录的克拉通之一,相关研究对揭示全球太古宙时期壳—幔动力学演化过程具有重要的指示意义。笔者等在华北克拉通东南部归纳总结了52个太古宙时期TTG岩石样品的有效地球化学资料。根据地区与岩石成因差异,将样品主要分为3类：霍邱、五河地区低铝、低压型TTG岩石,鲁西(C带)、丰县张河地区中铝、中低压型TTG岩石以及登封地区高铝、高压型TTG岩石。华北克拉通东南部的TTG片麻岩经历了两期明显的地壳生长事件：2.95～2.70 Ga, 2.58～2.48 Ga(峰值为约2.52 Ga)。主、微量数据表明,华北克拉通东南部的TTG片麻岩主体源于低钾镁铁质岩石的部分熔融,并且源区可能受到来自于壳—幔相互作用的影响。其中,霍邱、登封地区的TTG分别受到流体、熔体交代作用;鲁西和张河地区则同时受到熔体和流体交代作用。霍邱地区TTG片麻岩形成于约2.70 Ga,成因可能受鲁西地区地幔柱垂向构造的影响;太古宙末期,鲁西及张河地区与登封地区TTG片麻岩的形成具有一定联系,主要表现为受洋内岛弧地体侧向的洋内俯冲与弧...     

The arrow of time at the early stages of biosphere evolution. Determinism and pluralism

The modern theory of molecular processes provides a natural explanation for some clue observed features of biosphere formation during the early stages of the appearance of the molecular world. It was shown that a mere increase in the complexity of molecular objects is accompanied by the first manifestations of the fundamental properties that become subsequently predominant in much more complex objects: viruses, cells, bacteria, etc.     

Quartz dissolution experiments at various pH, temperature and stress conditions: CLSM and ICP-AES investigations

To understand the effects of temperature, pH and mechanical stress on the pressure dissolution of quartz, two experiments using monocrystalline quartz samples were conducted. The first was a closed-fluid experiment to investigate the effect of pH, and the second was a flow-through experiment to investigate stress and temperature effects. To initiate the pressure dissolution, a pair of samples was immersed in a solution with a prescribed pH. The samples were stressed mechanically by pressing one sample against the other. In the closed-fluid experiments, the pH of the solution was fixed to 7, 9, 11 and 13, the applied stress was approximately 200 MPa and temperature 25°C. The flow-through experiments were conducted at three different temperatures (35, 50 and 75°C) at the same pH 11.7. The value of the applied stress was 7.32, 13.72, 21.42 or 25.27 MPa. During each of these dissolution tests, the solution was regularly sampled and analyzed by an Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry technique to measure Si-concentration. With the measured Si-concentration, a dissolution rate constant was computed the different pH, stress and temperature conditions. The rate constant is proportional to pH, stress and temperature, as indicated in the literature. It should be noted that the rate constant for the highest stress (200 MPa) was considerably greater than for the other cases. In addition, island-channel patterns characterized by micro-cracks a few nanometers in length were seen on the dissolved parts of the samples. The findings and the measured data in this paper may be useful for the future development of theoretical models for pressure dissolution and its validation.     

人类活动影响下娘子关岩溶水系统地球化学演化

娘子关泉是我国北方最大的岩溶泉之一,也是阳泉市工农业生产和人民生活的重要供水水源。地下水地球化学演化分析表明,在地下水由补给区向排泄区运移过程中,除固有的水岩相互作用外,由于受采矿活动和地表水入渗补给的影响,岩溶水由低离子含量的HCO3-SO4或HCO3型水逐渐成为SO4型、SO4-HCO3型和SO4-HCO3-Cl型水。在泉群集中排泄区,区域流动系统与局部流动系统的地下水发生混合作用,最终形成了水质相对良好的HCO3-SO4型或SO4-HCO3型岩溶泉水。在此过程中,地下水对方解石和白云石也由最初的溶解作用演变为沉淀再结晶。尽管石膏呈持续溶解现象,但在采煤活动严重影响区域,石膏的沉淀也可能出现。地球化学模拟表明,在岩溶含水层中,地下水首先以方解石（白云石）的溶解为主;随着石膏溶解数量的增加,方解石（白云石）的溶解开始受到抑制,进而发生沉淀,石膏的溶解成为控制地下水水化学的主导过程。当矿坑水混入时,地下水相对石膏过饱和,地下水对碳酸盐岩含水介质的溶蚀能力得到增强。随着水岩反应的演进,铁氢氧化物大量沉淀,通过共沉淀和吸附作用去除了地下水中的重金属类污染物。      

京津冀山区水平衡演变及其影响因素识别

定量识别水平衡演变影响因素及其贡献是开展生态环境保护和水资源科学管理的前提。以往成果对人类活动中不同影响因子的归因识别与定量研究较少。在识别京津冀山区水平衡演变的基础上,采用双累计曲线法、径流变化定量分离法分析了降水变化和人类活动对水平衡演变的影响;分别选择涞源盆地、清水河小流域,分析了用水增加以及林业耗水增加对水平衡演变的影响。结果显示：（1）近65 a来,京津冀山区年降水量总体呈缓慢减少趋势,速率为0.97 mm/a,21世纪以来,年降水量有小幅增加趋势;（2）相比于1956—1979年基准期,1980—2000年降水变化和人类活动对天然径流衰减的影响程度分别为49.25%、50.75%,水土保持和植树造林是影响水平衡变化的主要人类活动因素,2001—2020年天然径流衰减的主要原因为人类活动,影响程度达到68.2%,其中地下水开采增加是主要人类活动因素,林业耗水量增加是重要人类活动因素;（3）山区水库蓄水及用水增加直接造成实际径流衰减,是造成平原区水平衡加剧的主要原因;（4）清水河小流域研究结果表明,在一定规模下,林地耗水增加与山区径流衰减呈正相关关系。林地面积增加对径流衰减的影响存在15～20 a的滞后性。林地面积达到23.48%后,林地耗水增加对天然径流产生了明显负作用,平均每增加1 km2林地,耗水量增加37.25×104 m3/a,天然径流量衰减59×104 m3/a,林地年均耗水增加量占流域天然径流衰减量的63.22%,表明林地面积增加起到水源涵养的作用,同时也造成了有效径流的减少。研究成果对开展京津冀山区生态环境保护、水资源科学管理以及水平衡调控具有重要意义。

填海造陆区水环境演变与对策研究进展

填海造陆区普遍存在次生盐渍化、地下结构物腐蚀等生态环境问题,尤其在中国北方沿海地区年蒸发量远大于降雨量的水循环条件下,此类问题更为突出。在简要回顾了填海现状和发展趋势的基础上,总结了填海后地下水系统和土体环境的演变趋势,并分析了造成上述影响的主要原因。通过对比湿润地区与半干旱地区的气候差异,认为利用集雨措施来引导自然淡化过程从而构建长效淋盐机制是半干旱填海区盐渍化防治的关键。同时指出,因地制宜地规划土体结构、提升排盐能力和种植绿化植物,是搭建和维持填海造陆区健康稳定生态系统的必要之举。

四川盆地及邻区二叠纪梁山-栖霞组沉积盆地原型及其演化

中二叠世的上扬子地区开始经历大规模的海侵作用,形成了较为稳定的碳酸盐岩沉积建造。探究该时期四川盆地及邻区沉积充填规律与构造演化特征,是揭示原型盆地成因机制的关键,又是认识四川盆地多旋回叠加过程的重要一环。在前人研究成果的基础之上,综合利用钻井、野外剖面等地质资料,重建了梁山组、栖霞组沉积时期原型盆地构造-古地理格局,并分析其构造-沉积演化过程。主要受继承自晚石炭世以来的中部隆升,东西两侧下沉的的古地貌和初期大规模海侵作用的影响,中二叠世梁山组沉积时期,本地区以滨岸-潮坪沉积体系为特征;栖霞组沉积早期,逐渐过渡到碳酸盐岩台地沉积环境,受区域性伸展作用的影响,海平面相对上升,以开阔台地沉积环境为特征;栖霞组沉积晚期,海平面相对下降,以局限台地和台缘滩沉积环境为特征。因此,反映出四川盆地及邻区在该时期主要受伸展裂解作用的影响,可被认为是一个典型的克拉通内坳陷和边缘裂陷盆地。海平面升降的旋回性变化和盆地的差异性沉降对该时期原型盆地的沉积充填样式和古地理格局的演变产生了重要影响。

Breakup of Rodinia and early stages of evolution of the Paleoasian ocean

The main stages of the evolution of newly formed structural elements are considered against the background of breakup of the epi-Grenville Rodinia supercontinent, which started about 950 Ma ago. The paleomagnetic data on pathways of the traveling of Rodinia’s fragments are analyzed and evidence for their geology, magmatism, and sedimentation are integrated with special emphasis on the evolution of the continental margins. A series of paleotectonic maps with elements of paleogeography for time intervals of 950–900, 850–800, 750–700, 650–630, and 570–550 Ma ago has been compiled on the basis of palinspastic reconstructions with allowance for new paleomagnetic data primarily concerning the position of Siberia in the Late Precambrian. Objects all over the world, not only in Russia, are involved in the analysis, though with less thoroughly described paleogeography. The structural elements of the Paleoasian ocean are included into the system of global paleooceans and framing paleocontinents. The history of the Paleoasian ocean is traced through 400 Ma from the breakup of the Rodinia supercontinent to the origin of the new Paleogondwana supercontinent about 550 Ma ago.
