The accurate determination of platinum-group elements (PGE), rhenium and gold is important in both fundamental research and ore deposit studies. Questions have been raised by some authors as to whether the nickel-sulfur fire assay technique (NiS-FA) efficiently collects all the PGE. On the other hand, most isotope dilution (ID) techniques can only treat small test portion masses (2 g was used for high-pressure asher digestion; HPA) and this makes them more vulnerable to nugget effects. We determined PGE concentrations in ten reference materials with the aim of comparing the performance characteristics of the two methods. Both methods determine Ru, Pd, Os, Ir and Pt and we found that there were no significant systematic differences in the recovery. The advantages of NiS-FA were that: (a) it is capable of determining Rh and Au; (b) the relatively large test portion mass (15 g) reduces the nugget effect and (c) it is faster and less expensive than HPA-ID. The advantages of HPA-ID were that: (a) it determined Re and (b) it had low level blanks, lower detection limits and hence better precision in low-level homogeneous samples. Each technique had advantages and limitations; they should be considered as complementary rather than competing techniques. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to identify geochemical processes and Quaternary geological events responsible for the variations
in groundwater geochemistry observed in a sedimentary rock aquifer system, including brackish to saline groundwater. Inorganic
constituents and environmental isotopes were analyzed for 146 groundwater samples. Dissolution of carbonates dominates in
recharge areas, resulting in Ca-, Mg-HCO3 groundwater. Further along flow paths, under confined conditions, Ca2+–Na+ ion exchange causes groundwater evolution to Na-HCO3 type. Na-Cl groundwater is also found and it falls on a seawater mixing line. Using conservative tracers, Cl− and Br−, the original Champlain Sea water is shown to have been, in the region, a mixture of about 34% seawater and 66% freshwater,
a composition still retained by some groundwater. Na-Cl groundwater thus results from mixing with former Champlain Sea water
and also from solute diffusion from overlying marine clay. The system is thus found to be at different stages of desalinization,
from the original Champlain Sea water still present in hydraulically stagnant areas of the aquifer to fully flushed conditions
in parts, where more flow occurs, especially in recharge zones. The geochemical processes are integrated within the hydrogeological
context to produce a conceptual geochemical evolution model for groundwater of the aquifer system. 相似文献

The interest in selenium concentrations in whole rocks is growing, in part because it is a useful tool for base and precious metal exploration. Selenium is often neglected in whole rock geochemistry because of the inability of most laboratories to make reliable determinations of this element. A consequence of these difficulties is a paucity of assigned or certified values for Se in international geological reference materials, so that the "best practice" proposed by Kane and Potts (2007) to obtain robust values for such reference materials cannot be followed. In order to address this problem, we have determined Se by pre-concentration on thiol-cotton fibre followed by INAA (Se/TCF-INAA technique) in twenty-six international geological reference materials, and one quality control material (KPT-1). These values were used, in conjunction with a set of published values, to estimate Se concentrations for these twenty-seven reference samples. Robust statistics were developed for seven of the RMs, with standard deviations equal to or less than precisions calculated using the Horwitz function and so that consensus values could be proposed. For three of the RMs, the presence of outliers gave less robust results, and suggested values are proposed. For seventeen of the RMs, only information values are provided, because either insufficient determinations were available or because large standard deviations of the data were derived. 相似文献

RX J1856.5-3754 has been proposed as a strange star candidate due to its very small apparent radius measured from its X-ray
thermal spectrum. However, its optical emission requires a much larger radius and thus most of the stellar surface must be
cold and undetectable in X-rays. In the case the star is a neutron star such a surface temperature distribution can be explained
by the presence of a strong toroidal field in the crust (Pérez-Azorín et al.: Astron. Astrophys. 451, 1009 (2006); Geppert
et al.: Astron. Astrophys. 457, 937 (2006)) We consider a similar scenario for a strange star with a thin baryonic crust to
determine if such a magnetic field induced effect is still possible.

The Polaris deposit is one of the largest Mississippi Valley-type deposits in the world, with 22 million tonnes of ore at
14% Zn and 4% Pb contained in a single, compact orebody surrounded by dolomitized host rocks. Using detailed sampling of carbonates
in the orebody and the dolostone halo, this paper aims to characterize the temporal and spatial evolution of the mineralizing
system, and to understand the mechanisms that controlled the accumulation of this large, compact Zn–Pb deposit. Five types
of dolomite have been distinguished, including three replacement (RD) and two pore-filling dolomites (PD). The paragenetic
order is RD1, RD2, RD3, PD1, and PD2. Pore-filling calcite (PC) postdates all other minerals. In most cases, sulfides and
dolomite did not co-precipitate, but sphalerite and galena largely overlap with RD3 and PD1. Various dolomites are dissolved
or replaced by sulfide-precipitating fluids; sulfides in turn can be overgrown by dolomites. Colloform texture in sphalerite
is widespread. Fluid inclusions were studied in RD3, PD1, PD2, sphalerite, and PC. The overall ranges of homogenization temperatures
(T
h) and last ice-melting temperatures (T
m-ice) for fluid inclusions in dolomites and sphalerite are from 67 to 141 °C and from −46.7 to −27.0 °C, respectively, consistent
with warm basinal brines with high salinities and Ca/Na ratios. Gas chromatographic analysis of these fluid inclusions indicates
low concentrations of hydrocarbons (<0.06 mol%). C, O, and Sr isotopes were analyzed for all dolomites and PC, as well as
for the fine-grained host limestone and early diagenetic calcite (SC–RC). The isotopic values of RD2, RD3, PD1, and PD2 cluster
tightly and form largely overlapping domains. With respect to the host limestone, they are depleted in 18O, similar in δ13C, and slightly enriched in 87Sr. There are no regular spatial variations for fluid inclusion and isotope data, indicating an overall geochemical homogeneity
in the hydrothermal system. However, certain samples close to the fracture zones in the orebody with slightly elevated T
h and 87Sr/86Sr values and depleted δ18O values suggest that the fracture zone was the conduit for the hot brines. Based on the geological and geochemical characteristics
of the deposit, we propose that sulfide precipitation at Polaris was caused by mixing of a reduced, metal-rich, sulfur-poor
fluid with a reduced, metal-poor, sulfur-rich fluid at the site of mineralization. The metal-carrying fluid ascended along
fractures from below the deposit and was hotter than the host rocks, whereas the reduced sulfur-carrying fluid was delivered
to the site of mineralization laterally and was in thermal equilibrium with the host rocks. This model can readily explain
the dissolution of dolomite during sulfide precipitation and the abundance of colloform sphalerite, as well as the low concentrations
of hydrocarbons in fluid inclusions.

A comprehensive hydrogeochemical study was carried out in the Paleozoic Basses-Laurentides sedimentary rock aquifer system in Québec over a 1500 km2 study area. Groundwater samples were collected at 153 sites, characterizing all geological and hydrogeological units to a maximum depth of 140 m. Groundwater was analyzed for major, minor and trace inorganic constituents, stable isotopes δ 2H, δ 18O, and δ 13C of dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC), and some samples were analyzed for 3H, and 14C of DIC. The regional distribution of groundwater types shows that the hydrogeological conditions exert a dominant control on the major ions chemistry of groundwater. Preferential recharge areas are characterized by tritiated Ca-Mg-HCO3 groundwater, and confined conditions by submodern Na-HCO3 and Na-Cl groundwater types. Two groundwater end-members are identified in the aquifer system, modern meteoric water and Pleistocene Champlain Sea water. The region displays significant variations of groundwater geochemistry and quality controlled by glaciation, Champlain Sea invasion, lithological rock diversity, and flow system scales. This situation leads to varied groundwater types and origins within a restricted area. 相似文献

Quantification of Metals and Semimetals in Carbon‐Rich Rocks: A New Sequential Protocol Including Extraction from Humic Substances 下载免费PDF全文

We have developed a new sequential extraction technique that does not require complex procedures and is efficient in determining metal and semimetal contents of carbon‐rich rocks. Six geological reference materials (SBC‐1, SCHS‐1, SCo‐1, SDO‐1, SGR‐1b and SLg‐1) and an in‐house black shale (SH‐1) were selected to test the method, which consists of four main digestion steps involving: (a) dilute HCl acid; (b) NaOH; (c) aqua regia; and (d) hydrofluoric acid. Compared with traditional aqua regia + hydrofluoric acid attack, this new protocol recovers more of the moderately volatile elements during early extraction of humic substances. In addition when compared with reference values, those for most elements are in agreement within uncertainty. Furthermore, this new protocol reveals important information on the partitioning of elements; for instance, steps one and two indicate which elements are associated with carbonates and organic phases from fulvic and humic acid extractions, whereas step three provides results for which elements are associated with sulfide minerals and step four indicates which elements remained in the silicate and oxide phases. 相似文献

Narrowing research and policy, while challenging, is especially important in climate change adaptation work (CCA) due to the high uncertainties involved in planning for climate change. This article aims to seek stakeholders’ opinions regarding how research and policy development can be bridged within the Cambodian water resources and agriculture sectors. The study used institutional ethnography methods with informants from government organizations, local academia, and development partners (DPs). This article identifies a number of challenges, and barriers for narrowing research–policy development gaps, including: limited effectiveness of governmental policies and planning; lack of relevant information required to promote evidence-based planning and policy development; and communication barriers. Evidence-based planning is valued by government officials most when there is actual and effective implementation of policies and plans. In practice, this often implies that governmental policies and plans need be scoped and scaled down to meet the available budget, and thus be achievable. In the long term, it also means building the capacity for policy-relevant research on climate change adaptation within Cambodia. Engaging policy stakeholders in research process for co-producing adaptation knowledge, and introducing knowledge intermediaries are suggested by informants as means to narrowing gaps between research and policy development. The presence of the Cambodia's Prime Minister in research–policy dialogues is recommended as important for attracting the attention of high-level policy makers.
Policy relevance
As a least developed and highly climate-vulnerable country, Cambodia has received climate change funding to implement a number of climate adaptation initiatives. Cambodia is likely to receive more climate change finance in the future. This article aims to assist evidence-based planning, in particular, through policy-relevant research on CCA, so that resources for adaptation in Cambodia are used effectively and efficiently. This research also directly benefits the sustainable development of the country. 相似文献
