Distribution and geochemical significance of trace elements in shale rocks and their residual kerogens

There is a dearth of information about the distribution of trace elements in kerogen from shale rocks despite several reports on trace element composition in many shale samples. In this study, trace elements in shale rocks and their residual kerogens were determined by inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry. The results from this study show redox-sensitive elements relatively concentrated in the kerogens as compared to the shales. This may be primarily due to the adsorption and complexation ability of kerogen, which enables enrichment in Ni, Co, Cu, and Zn. For the rare earth elements (REEs), distinct distribution characteristics were observed for shales dominated by terrigenous minerals and their kerogen counterparts. However, shales with less input of terrigenous minerals showed similar REE distribution patterns to their residual kerogen. It is speculated that the distribution patterns of the REEs in shales and kerogens may be source-related.     

Field loading tests of screw micropiles under axial cyclic and monotonic loads

Unlike conventional grouted micropiles, screw micropiles have been recently introduced to the foundation industry. Full-scale field tests of screw micropiles were carried out at a cohesive soil site. The screw micropiles have a diameter varying from 76 to 114 mm and a length varying from 1.6 to 3 m, and spiral threads welded on the lower half of the steel tubular shaft. Site investigation from cone penetration tests (CPT) and laboratory testing implies that the soil was medium to stiff, low plasticity clay. Six axial monotonic and three axial cyclic load tests were performed on three micropiles. One micropile was instrumented with strain gauges to investigate the shaft load distribution during loading. The axial cyclic loading was intended to simulate cyclic inertia load during vertical ground motions. Results showed that the micropiles behave as frictional piles during monotonic tests; the unit shaft resistance and adhesion coefficient were calculated and compared with results in the literature. The end installation torque was estimated using CPT shaft resistance and was shown to agree reasonably with the measured torque. Under axial cyclic loading, the micropiles underwent small cumulative displacements and the magnitude of the displacement decreased with increasing pile length and diameter. Cyclic loading redistributed the load transfer along different segments of the micropile. Negative skin resistance was observed along the smooth pile shaft when the pile underwent decreasing axial loading.

     

纤粒矿物粉尘体外细胞毒性研究

采用体外细胞培养技术,观察兔肺泡巨噬细胞死亡率,用丙二醛（ＭＤＡ）的含量变化、乳酸脱氢酶（ＬＤＨ）及超氧化物歧化酶（ＳＯＤ）的活性变化来评价来自１２个矿６床的６种矿物的１２种结晶习性的矿物粉尘的细胞毒性,探讨其使巨噬细胞受损的机制。结果显示：沸石、硅灰石无细胞毒性,而其他的纤维状及片粒状矿物粉尘则表现出不同程度的细胞毒性,说明矿物粉尘的细胞毒性与矿物粉尘的形态有一定关系,但主要由矿物粉尘的特性所决     

银根-额济纳旗及邻区石炭-二叠系的沉积特征及石油地质意义

长期以来,由于埋藏深、地质复杂及自然条件恶劣等原因,银根-额济纳旗及邻区石炭系-二叠系的油气勘查程度低,相关研究成果少.鉴于此,本文充分利用研究区的周缘露头,借助近30条剖面的详细调查,分析了本区石炭系-二叠系的沉积特征.研究表明,本区石炭系-二叠系包括了泥岩、砂岩、砂砾岩、碳酸盐岩和火山岩(或火山碎屑岩)等,海相生物丰富.暗色泥岩是石炭系-二叠系的主体,是潜在的烃源岩和盖层;火山岩(或火山碎屑岩)发育,碳酸盐岩多呈透镜状且硅化普遍,砂砾岩相对较少,三者构成石炭系-二叠系重要储层.岩石组成及展布特征表明,石炭纪-二叠纪期间,本区张裂频繁,火山作用强烈,远离陆源区,水体深而宁静,利于生烃物质发育.期间,区内主要发育了浅海相、广海海岸相、碳酸盐台地相、辫状三角洲相、扇三角洲相和火山喷发相等沉积类型.其中,浅海相和局限海岸相主要形成了烃源岩和盖层,其他沉积则形成了储层,为区内石炭系-二叠系造就了良好的油气地质条件.
