Features of ferric sulfate precipitates formed by different cultivations of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

This study focused on the ferric sulfate precipitates formed during the culture of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans) in a modified 9K medium by applying a potential control on the electrode. X-ray diffraction (XRD), environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM), Raman spectroscopy (Raman) and Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were carried out to characterize and identify the precipitates which were formed, respectively, in the electrochemical cultivation with a fixed cathode potential (bias-experiment) and in the conventional batch cultivation without cathode potential control (no-bias-experiment). The results indicated that K-jarosite presented in both experiments while NH₄-jarosite and schwertmannite were only found in the no-bias-experiment. The formation of different precipitates could be attributed to the different growth statuses and rates of A. ferrooxidans and the different concentrations of Fe³⁺. In the bias-experiment, external electrons reproduced Fe²⁺ and promoted the growth of A. ferrooxidans, thus resulting in the low Fe³⁺ concentration and the rapid depletion of NH₄ ⁺ as the nitrogen source, in which K-jarosite was preferentially formed. In the no-bias-experiment, the lower concentration of A. ferrooxidans was observed, which was due to the continuous consumption of Fe²⁺ by bacteria, thus resulting in the relatively higher Fe³⁺ and the NH₄ ⁺ concentration in culture. The high concentration of Fe³⁺ favored the precipitation of the solid solution of K-NH₄-H₃O jarosite, and led to the formation of schwertmannite after K⁺ and NH₄ ⁺ were depleted.

陆相盆地古生产力研究现状

古生产力是指地质历史时期生物在能量循环过程中固定能量的速率。陆相盆地古生产力的研究包括古生产力的大小及其组成研究两个方面。目前主要通过有机碳、生物硅和生物标志化合物等指标来评估陆相盆地古生产力的大小;通过生物标志化合物指标,包括正烷烃、萜类、甾类分子标志化合物等指标来研究陆相盆地古生产力的组成。陆相盆地古生产力的定量化研究比较欠缺,仅在有机碳、生物硅及生物标志化合物指标方面建立了数学模型,且多是对海相盆地古生产力指标的直接沿用;而在色素、湖相碳酸盐等具陆相特点的指标方面仅见部分定性研究。在地学应用方面,以陆相盆地古生产力研究为基础的地球生物学方法,在正演陆相烃源岩的形成过程研究中具有良好的前景。     

歧口凹陷歧深地区沙三段层序地层格架及其演化

在对钻井、录井、测井、地震和各种测试资料的综合分析基础上,对沙三段层序地层格架进行了系统的研究。共识别出4个层序界面,3个三级层序,并在各三级层序内识别出低位体系域、湖扩体系域和高位体系域。认为深凹及控凹断裂边缘3个体系域发育完整,而板桥及歧北次凹斜坡带仅发育退积型湖扩体系域和进积型高位体系域。在此基础上,建立了歧深地区层序地层发育模式——陆相单斜断坡带型(西断东缓超)地层格架,为研究区有利储集体的预测提供了基础。

天然气水合物样品带压转移装置的抓捕机构设计

在天然气水合物岩心样品的带压转移过程中,岩心衬管抓捕装置是实现样品转移的关键。岩心抓取是在岩心管内进行,属于非可视化操作过程,同时岩心样品和抓捕器都处于高压液体中,岩心衬管与岩心管之间的间隙非常小,要保证岩心样品的原位状态,对岩心抓捕装置的结构设计、精准定位、快速抓取和释放都有很高的要求。根据该装置所需实现的抓取、拖动、定位和释放功能,设计挂盘自锁和触碰解锁机构,探针抓取衬管,经过室内抓捕实验,该机构可以顺利抓捕和解卡,其结构简单,能在压力状态下进行岩心转移,加快了天然气水合物样品的带压转移装置的研究进展。

滇西保山地块金厂河矿集区铁铜金铅锌多金属矿床成矿系统

滇西保山地块是西南“三江”特提斯构造带的重要组成部分,其大地构造位置处于藏-滇-泰-马中间板块中段,是近年来科学研究和地质找矿的热点地区之一。受区域构造演化的影响,保山地块先后历经原、古、中、新特提斯演化,并发生了多期成岩成矿事件,在北部形成了以金厂河铁铜铅锌矿、核桃坪铅锌矿、陡崖铁铜多金属矿、黑牛凹金矿、黄家地金矿等为代表的金厂河铁铜金铅锌多金属矿集区。区内矿床在成矿空间上具有明显的分带性,单个矿床在垂向上、平面上均呈有规律地分布,其分带标志除了矿床类型外,还表现在有用矿物组合及元素分带。由下往上、由内向外均有Fe→Cu-Fe→Cu-Pb-Zn→Au矿种分带及“矽卡岩型→构造蚀变岩型→石英脉型”的矿床类型分带,成矿元素均从高温到中低温变化。成矿系统的分析表明,区内各代表性矿床中矿石的硫、铅同位素组成和变化范围较为一致性,矿床的形成具有相似的成矿流体,表明不同类型的矿化可能形成于早白垩世中特提斯洋的闭合过程。本文综合区内构造演化、典型矿床地质特征、各地质事件发生的先后关系,建立了金厂河矿集区铁铜金铅锌多金属矿床成矿模式,以期为该区深边部地质找矿提供科学依据。     

U–Pb and Hf-isotope analysis of zircons in mafic xenoliths from Fuxian kimberlites: evolution of the lower crust beneath the North China craton

Mafic xenoliths from the Paleozoic Fuxian kimberlites in the North China craton include garnet granulite, and minor pyroxene amphibolite, metagabbro, anorthosite and pyroxenite. The formation conditions of the amphibolites are estimated at 745–820 °C and 7.6–8.8 Kb (25–30 km); the granulites probably are derived from greater depths in the lower crust. LAM-ICPMS U–Pb dating of zircons from four granulites reveals multiple age populations, recording episodes of magmatic intrusion and metamorphic recrystallisation. Concordant ages and upper intercept ages, interpreted as minimum estimates for the time of magmatic crystallisation, range from 2,620 to 2,430 Ma in three granulites, two amphibolites and two metagabbros. Lower intercept ages, represented by near-concordant zircons, are interpreted as reflecting metamorphic recrystallisation, and range from 1,927 to 1,852 Ma. One granulite contains two metamorphic zircon populations, dated at 1,927±55 Ma and 600–700 Ma. Separated minerals from one granulite and one amphibolite yield Sm–Nd isochron ages of 1,619±48 Ma (¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd)i=0.51078), and 1,716±120 Ma (¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd)i=0.51006), respectively. These ages are interpreted as recording cooling following metamorphic resetting; model ages for both samples are in the range 2.40–2.66 Ga. LAM-MC-ICPMS analyses of zircon show a range in ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf from 0.28116 to 0.28214, corresponding to a range of _Hf from –34 to +12. The relationships between ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb age and _Hf show that: (1) the granulites, amphibolites and metagabbro were derived from a depleted mantle source at 2.6–2.75 Ga; (2) zircons in most samples underwent recrystallisation and Pb loss for 100–200 Ma after magmatic crystallisation, consistent with a residence in the lower crust; (3) metamorphic zircons in several samples represent new zircon growth, incorporating Hf liberated from breakdown of silicates with high Lu/Hf; (4) in other samples metamorphic and magmatic zircons have identical ¹⁷⁶Hf/¹⁷⁷Hf, and the younger ages reflect complete resetting of U–Pb systems in older zircons. The Fuxian mafic xenoliths are interpreted as the products of basaltic underplating, derived from a depleted mantle source in Neoarchean time, an important period of continental growth in the North China craton. Paleoproterozoic metamorphic ages indicate an important tectonic thermal event in the lower crust at 1.8–1.9 Ga, corresponding to the timing of collision between the Eastern and Western Blocks that led to the final assembly of the North China craton. The growth of metamorphic zircon at 600–700 Ma may record an asthenospheric upwelling in Neoproterozoic time, related to uplift and a regional disconformity in the North China craton.     

Aerodynamic Characteristics of the Crest with Membrane Attachment on Cretaceous Pterodactyloid Nyctosaurus

The Nyctosaurus specimen KJ1 was reconstructed under the hypothesis that there is a membrane attached to the crest; the so-called headsail crest. The aerodynamic forces and moment acting on the headsail crest were analyzed. It was shown that KJ1 might adjust the angle of the headsail crest relative to the air current as one way to generate thrust (one of the aerodynamic forces, used to overcome body drag in forward flight) and that the magnitude of the thrust and moment could vary with the gesture angle and the relative location between the aerodynamic center of the headsail crest and body’s center of gravity. Three scenarios were tested for comparison: the crest with membrane attachment, the crest without membrane attachment and the absence of a cranial crest. It was shown that the aerodynamic characteristics (increasing, maintaining and decreasing thrusts and moment) would have almost disappear in flight for the crest without membrane attachment and was non-existent without the cranial crest. It is suggested from aerodynamics evidence alone that Nyctosaurus specimen KJ1 had a membrane attached to the crest and used this reconstructed form for auxiliary flight control.
