Chemical and Strontium Isotopic Compositions of the Hanjiang Basin Rivers in China: Anthropogenic Impacts and Chemical Weathering

The Hanjiang River, the largest tributaries of the Changjiang (Yangtze) River, is the water source area of the Middle Route of China’s South-to-North Water Transfer Project. The chemical and strontium isotopic compositions of the river waters are determined with the main purpose of understanding the contribution of chemical weathering processes and anthropogenic inputs on river solutes, as well as the associated CO₂ consumption in the carbonate-dominated basin. The major ion compositions of the Hanjiang River waters are characterized by the dominance of Ca²⁺ and HCO₃ ⁻, followed by Mg²⁺ and SO₄ ²⁻. The increase in TDS and major anions (Cl⁻, NO₃ ⁻, and SO₄ ²⁻) concentrations from upstream to downstream is ascribed to both extensive influences from agriculture and domestic activities over the Hanjiang basin. The chemical and Sr isotopic analyses indicate that three major weathering sources (dolomite, limestone, and silicates) contribute to the total dissolved loads. The contributions of the different end-members to the dissolved load are calculated with the mass balance approach. The calculated results show that the dissolved load is dominated by carbonates weathering, the contribution of which accounts for about 79.4% for the Hanjiang River. The silicate weathering and anthropogenic contributions are approximately 12.3 and 6.87%, respectively. The total TDS fluxes from chemical weathering calculated for the water source area (the upper Hanjiang basin) and the whole Hanjiang basin are approximately 3.8 × 10⁶ and 6.1 × 10⁶ ton/year, respectively. The total chemical weathering (carbonate and silicate) rate for the Hanjiang basin is approximately 38.5 ton/km²/year or 18.6 mm/k year, which is higher than global mean values. The fluxes of CO₂ consumption by carbonate and silicate weathering are estimated to be 56.4 × 10⁹ and 12.9 × 10⁹ mol/year, respectively.

上置晕与物质的“类气相”垂向迁移

阐明了上置晕的术语概念,指出文献中术语运用的失当之处,归纳出以上置晕为基础的各类隐伏矿化探方法。按传统的观念,上置晕主要是由不同形式的水迁移作用造成的。地气法、ＭＦＥ法和离子晕法的出现,揭示出在覆盖层中存在着一种新的元素迁移机制,即元素以非常细小的固相微粒随地气流迁移。一系列实验和实测结果表明,这种固相微粒可能是纳米粒径的物质,它们具有类气相的性状,故可将这种迁移机制称为物质的类气相垂向迁移。这一机制可以说明按传统机制难以解释的现象,对相应化探方法的研制、改善和应用有理论和实践上的指导意义。     

水下岩质边坡稳定性的模型试验研究

随着三峡水利建设工程的进行,许多原本位于水面以上且已趋于稳定的人工或自然岩质边坡将被淹没,导致边坡稳定性降低,而水的压力、冲击、渗流和侵蚀等综合作用,给下岩质边坡的稳定性带来大量的不确定性。基于已有的水下土质边坡稳定性试验和水下岩质边坡有限元分析,进行水下岩质边坡模型试验研究,探讨在水位升降水过程中和波浪作用下水下岩质边坡的稳定性和破坏机制。将结构面为30°和50°的两种岩质边坡模型布置在人工水槽中,采用波流系统进行水位升降水波浪冲击试验,量测岩质边坡的应力变化。通过分析边坡各测点应力变化,得出了一些有意义的结论：（1）把边坡前部岩体划分成3个区域,每个区域内应力变化规律相同;（2）水下岩质边坡坡脚处应力集中最大,破坏始于坡脚,并由此产生的塑性区沿结构面逐渐同坡顶发展,这与一般边坡从坡顶逐渐向下发展的开裂破坏形式完全不同;（3）波浪对水下岩质边坡结构面的影响,将随其倾角的变小而减弱。

蚌埠隆起区石榴辉石岩变质P-T轨迹的构建

蚌埠隆起区位于华北克拉通东南缘,胶—辽—吉造山带的最南端,主体由五河杂岩组成。前人对该地区的研究主要集中于同位素年代学和变质温压条件研究,其中变质P-T条件研究结果差异较大,以压力变化最为显著,对峰期变质P-T条件缺乏统一认识。本文对蚌埠隆起区石榴辉石岩进行了大量的岩相学、矿物化学成分分析,表明该岩石记录了3期变质作用,其中S-M1和S-M2的矿物组合类似为Grt+Cpx+Opx+Amp+Pl+Ilm,S-M3的矿物组合为Cpx+Amp+Pl+Grt （极边窄带）。结合变质温压条件分析和锆石U-Pb年代学分析,本次主要取得以下几点认识：1）石榴辉石岩WS047-1中记录的3期变质作用,温压条件分别为T-M1 = 616 ℃～647 ℃、P-M1 = 1.03～1.08 GPa,T-M2 = 721 ℃～837 ℃、P-M2 = 1.11～1.29 GPa和T-M3 = 531 ℃～607 ℃、P-M3 = 0.81～0.91 GPa,经历了由较高压力的角闪岩相→中-低麻粒岩相→角闪岩相的变质过程;2）据变质温压条件分析知,蚌埠隆起区具有顺时针的P-T轨迹特征,S-M1→S-M2和S-M2→S-M3分别为近等压升温和近等压降温的缓慢过程;3）石榴辉石岩锆石U-Pb年代学结果主要分为4组：1 839±13 Ma、1 925±31 Ma、2 041±55 Ma和2 762±14 Ma,其中峰值变质年代为1.93～1.84 Ga;4）结合温压条件和锆石U-Pb年代学分析结果,本文认为蚌埠隆起区的P-T轨迹与弗朗西斯科型俯冲或大陆碰撞环境的P-T轨迹较为类似,其应与1.93～1.84 Ga华北克拉通东、西陆块的碰撞拼合及胶—辽—吉造山带形成时限基本吻合。本次研究为深入理解华北克拉通的构造演化特征和蚌埠隆起区的变质作用及演化,提供了大量可靠的科学资料。
