Geology and Mineral Chemistry of Uranium- and Thorium-bearing Minerals in Rare-Metal (NYF) Pegmatites of Um Solimate,South Eastern Desert,Egypt

The garnet muscovite granitic pegmatite of Um Solimate, in southern Egypt, represents a promising asset for strategic and economic metals, especially Bi–Ni–Ag–Nb–Ta as well as U and Th. The ore bodies occur as large masses, pockets and/or veins of very coarse-grained pegmatites, which consist mainly of K-feldspar, quartz and albite with subordinate muscovite, garnet, and biotite. Radiometric data revealed that eU- and eTh-contents of the pegmatites reach up to 39 ppm and 82 ppm, respectively. The studied pegmatites are enriched in primary U and Th minerals (uraninite, coffinite, thorianite and uranothorite) as well as Hf-rich zircon and monazite, which give rise to anomalous radioactive zones. Niobium-tantalium-bearing minerals (i.e. ferrocolumbite, microlite and uranopyrochlore), xenotime, barite, galena, fluorite, and apatite are ubiquitous, and, consequently, the studied pegmatites belong tothe Niobium–Yttrium–Fluorine-type (NYF) family. The noble metal mineralization includes argentite (Ag2S), native Ni and Bi as well as bismite and bismoclite. In addition, beryl and tourmaline are observed in pegmatites near the contact with metasediments and ultramafic bodies. The observed compositional variations of Ta/(Ta+Nb) and Mn/(Mn+Fe) ratios in columbite (0.08–0.45 and 0.11–0.57, respectively) and Hf contents in zircon (3.54–6.46 wt%) may reflectan extreme degree of magmatic fractionation leading to formation of the pegmatite orebody.     

昌宁—孟连结合带北端癞痢头山岩体地球化学特征及其对成岩成矿作用的启示

位于昌宁—孟连结合带北端的癞痢头山岩体,主要由中粗晶花岗闪长岩(MGG)和细晶花岗闪长岩(FG)组成,形成于中三叠世(232 Ma).MGG和FG岩相学特征相似,无明显空间分带关系,呈过渡渐变关系.它们具高硅(w(SiO2) =66.2％～68.2％,平均67.0％),富钾(K2O/Na2O=1.04～2.59,平均1.64),贫碱(w(Na2O+K2O)=5.45％～7.31％,平均5.99％)、低钠(w(Na2O)=1.54％～3.58％,平均2.38％),高镁值(Mg#=47.3～58.7,平均51.5)和过铝质(A/CNK=1.41～2.17,平均1.65)特征,属过铝质高钾钙碱性系列.二者轻、重稀土元素含量比值介于6.91～12.1,表现为轻稀土元素相对富集、重稀土元素相对亏损.岩石富集w(Rb) (54.7～176×10-6),w(U)(1.10～4.77×10-6),w(Th) (9.33～35.30×10-6)等大离子亲石元素,亏损w(Ta) (1.22～1.51×10-6),w(Nb)(14.9～18.5×10-6),w(Zr)(78.4～171.0×10-6)等高场强元素,以及δEu(0.35～0.57)和"TNT"负异常特征,表明初始岩浆以陆壳成分为主并有幔源组分的加入.癞痢头山岩体样品具有较高的A/CNK值(1.41～2.17)和刚玉分子含量(1.87％～8.67％),以及Nb/Ta比值(11.03～13.76)和Zr/Hf比值(23.13～47.85)分别与平均地壳和壳源岩石相应比值一致,显S型花岗岩特征.综合分析,认为癞痢头山岩体属于S型花岗岩,起源于古老地壳物质(贫黏土的古老杂砂岩)部分熔融岩浆和底侵作用带入的幔源岩浆的混合岩浆,是保山—思茅地块陆陆后碰撞阶段力学性质由挤压向伸展转化动力学背景下的产物,具备成矿作用发生的物质基础,有一定的找矿潜力.     

Lead contamination of small cetaceans in European waters--the use of stable isotopes for identifying the sources of lead exposure

Lead concentrations and isotopic composition have been measured in bone and teeth of small cetaceans belonging to three species (Delphinus delphis, Phocoena phocoena and Stenella coeruleoalba), to evaluate the toxicological risk and to determine sources of lead in the European waters. Lead concentrations, far lower than threshold value inducing toxic effects in human, were higher in teeth than in bones, but highly correlated between the two tissues (r=0.92, p<0.001). Large variations of 206Pb/207Pb values in bone tissue showed that cetaceans must be submitted to various atmospheric influences. No geographical differences appeared which is consistent with studies on their distribution indicating seasonal movements between Brittany waters and the Bay of Biscay. The negative correlation between 206Pb/207Pb ratios and age of the individuals reflected the decrease in the production of alkyl lead in Europe, i.e., the increasing use of unleaded gasoline.

Protein carbonyls and antioxidant defenses in corkwing wrasse (Symphodus melops) from a heavy metal polluted and a PAH polluted site

The use of fish in environmental monitoring has become increasingly important in recent years as anthropogenic substances, many of which function as prooxidants, are accumulating in aquatic environments. We have measured a battery of antioxidant defenses as a measure of oxidative status, as well as protein carbonylation as a measure of oxidative damage, in corkwing wrasse (Symphodus melops) captured near a disused copper mine, where water and sediment are contaminated with heavy metals, and an aluminum smelter, a site contaminated with PAHs. Results were compared to two different reference sites. Fish at the heavy metal site had lower glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and elevated protein carbonyls (1.8 times) compared to fish from the reference site. At the PAH site, EROD was increased 2-fold, while total glutathione and methemoglobin reductase concentration, were decreased. No differences were seen in protein carbonyl levels at the PAH site. Measures of both antioxidant defenses and oxidative damage should be used when assessing effects of xenobiotics on oxidative stress in fish species.
