This study examined the interaction between Cr(VI) and a Fe-rich soil in the presence of low-molecular-weight organic acids
as a function of pH. Oxalic and tartaric acids were chosen since they existed in soils commonly. Batch experiments showed
that adsorption of Cr(VI) by the soil within the pH range examined was inhibited in the presence of oxalic acid, which was
more pronounced when the initial ratio of [oxalic acid]/[Cr(VI)] was raised from 1:1 to 2:1. With the addition of tartaric
acid, concentration of Cr(VI) in equilibrium solutions was far less than that of single adsorbate system across the pH wide
(2.5–5.5), which was noticeable especially at low pH. The results were attributed to Cr(VI) adsorption and, particularly,
the soil surface catalyzed reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) by tartaric acid. The data reported in this paper suggested that
the mobility, the bioavailability, and the toxicity of Cr(VI) in soil environments might be greatly affected by pH, the presence
and nature of low-weight-molecular organic acids (oxalic and tartaric acids). 相似文献
The Gaogangshan Mo deposit, located in the northern part of the Lesser Xing'an Range (the eastern part of the Xing'an–Mongolia Orogenic Belt), is one of the newly discovered Mo deposits in northeast China. Ore bodies occur in the granite and are generally in vein and stockwork forms. Major metallic minerals in the ore include pyrite and molybdenite. The styles of mineralization are disseminated, veinlet–disseminated, and veinlet. The major types of wall–rock alteration are silicification–potassic alteration, phyllic alteration and propylitization. Fluid inclusion analyses indicate that the ore‐forming fluid during the major mineralization stage is an H2O–NaCl–CO2 system, with wide homogenization temperature and salinity ranges. The abundant CO2–rich and coexisting halite–bearing fluid inclusion assemblages in the main stage of mineralization highlight the significance of intensive fluid boiling for porphyry Mo mineralization. Comprehensive study of the ore‐forming conditions, geological features of the deposit, micro‐thermometric analysis of fluid inclusions and comparison of the Gaogangshan deposit with other typical porphyry deposits leads to the conclusion that the deposit is a porphyry type. We obtained a weighted mean age of the molybdenite deposit at Gaogangshan of 250.7 ± 1.8 Ma. The isotopic dating results indicate that the Gaogangshan deposit was formed in the Permo–Triassic, which is the earliest Mo–only deposit in northeast China. The formation of the Gaogangshan Mo deposit may be related to the extension and break–up of the Songnen Block and Jiamusi Block in the Permo–Triassic. 相似文献
The Xihuashan tungsten deposit is closely related to a small highly evolved granitic intrusion. The fluid phases associated with the wolframite-bearing quartz veins have been investigated using microthermometry and the Raman microprobe; they are highly variable in density and composition. The earlier fluids are low-density and low-salinity CO2-bearing aqueous solutions circulating at temperatures up to 420 °C, and low-salinity (2–3 equiv. wt% NaCl) aqueous solutions without traces of CO2 circulating at high temperatures 280°–400 °C) involved in a specific hydrothermal fracturing event; limited unmixing occurs at 380 °C and 200–100 bar in response to a sudden pressure drop. The second types of fluids related to deposition of idiomorphic drusy quartz are typical CO2-bearing aqueous solutions with low salinity (2.5 equiv. wt% NaCl) homogenizing at low to moderate temperatures (180°–340 °C). The late fluids characterize the sulfide deposition stage; they are aqueous fluids with variable salinities homogenizing in the liquid phase between 100° and 275 °C. The Xihuashan hydrothermal evolution resulted from a discontinuous sequence of specific events occurring between 420° and 150 °C and during a continuous hydrothermal evolution of the system during cooling. The role played by the CO2-rich fluids in the transport and deposition of tungsten in the hydrothermal environment is discussed. 相似文献
Confusion surrounding the definition and application of terminology in post-mining ecological repair has resulted in uncertainty for industry, the scientific community and regulators. This lack of clarity may underrepresent high aspirations or could be misused to disguise low aspirations and so is problematic for setting objectives, establishing goals and assessing recovery trajectories. We respond to a recently published analysis of the ecosystem repair literature, where we highlight inconsistencies stemming from inadequate reference to a large proportion of the restoration and rehabilitation literature. We outline increasingly well-accepted and internationally applied definitions concerning the restoration and recovery process and invite both the mining industry and policy-makers to re-examine their terminology in the interests of attaining an internationally agreed nomenclature. Clarity in the use and understanding of terminology will align post-mining targets with community expectation, enhance the capacity of the mining industry to understand and meet these targets, and foster better analysis and more industry-relevant discussion of recovery methodologies by the scientific community and practitioners. 相似文献
Underground mining and deep drilling of the richly diamondiferous ~1.2 Ga Argyle lamproite in Western Australia has prompted a re-evaluation of the geology of the pipe. Argyle is considered to be a composite pipe that formed by the coalescence of several diatremes and has been offset and elongated by post-emplacement faulting. Recent geological studies have recognised at least five distinct volcaniclastic lamproite lithofacies with differing diamond grades. The new data suggest that the centre of the southern (main) diatreme is occupied by well-bedded, olivine lamproite lapilli tuff with very high diamond grades (>10 ct/t). Characteristic features include a clast-supported fabric and high modal abundance of densely packed lamproite lapilli and coarse-grained, likely mantle-derived olivine now replaced by serpentine and/or talc. The persistence of small-scale graded and cross-bedding in this lithofacies to depths of ~1.5 km below the original surface prior to erosion suggests phreatomagmatic volcanism forming the diatreme was syn-eruptively accompanied by subsidence of the tephra, maintaining a steep-walled diatreme in the water-saturated country rock sediments.
