Dependence of radon exhalation on grain size of sedimentary waste

Tailings resulted from sulphuric acid leaching process of uranium from sedimentary rocks contain high concentrations of ²²⁶Ra and its daughters, the most important of which is ²²²Rn. Movement of radon gas out of the tailings is strongly influenced by the physicochemical characteristics of these tailings especially their radium content and the grain size. So, the tailing samples were size fractionated into four sizes (>?250, 250–125, 125–74 and <?74 µm). The natural radioactivity was investigated using hyper-pure germanium detector and solid-state nuclear track detectors (CR-39) for bulk size and after size fractionation. The activity concentrations of different radionuclides in size-fractionated tailing samples have been shown to be strongly dependent on the size of the particles. In the range of >?250 and <?74 µm, the activity concentrations of ²³⁰Th, ²²⁶Ra, ²¹⁴Pb, ²¹⁴Bi, ²¹⁰Pb, ²³²Th and ⁴⁰K increased throughout with decreasing particle size, while that of ²³⁸U, ²³⁴U and ²³⁵U have an opposite effect. The results revealed an inverse relationship between the radon exhalation rate and size fractionation. Also, the results showed a good correlation between radium activity concentration and radon mass exhalation rate.

TM图象数字镶嵌的几何精度分析及镶嵌方法的探讨

本文对ＴＭ数字镶嵌图象的内部几何精度进行分析后指出，传统的利用选取控制点建立图象间坐标转换方程，并利用此方程对图象进行处理，实施图象镶嵌的方法，在保证镶嵌图象几何精度方面存在着不足，用此方法得到的ＴＭ镶嵌图象的内部几何误差约８个象元；在对传统的图象数字镶嵌方法进行分析的基础上，笔者总结大量工作的经验并参照前人的作法，在选定的地图投影下利用旋转方法对ＴＭ图象进行处理，进而完成镶嵌工作、这种方法舍去了控制点选取的繁复过程，使镶嵌工作变得简单，同时可保证ＴＭ镶嵌图象的几何畸变很小，经检测，镶嵌后的ＴＭ图象内部几何误差小于２个象元。

西天山巨型金铜铅锌成矿带构造成矿演化和找矿方向

西天山产有Muruntau、Kumtor、Kalmakyr等巨型金矿床和Kalmakyr、Dal'neye等世界级铜矿床以及Tekeli等超大型铅锌矿床,构成世人瞩目的巨型金铜铅锌成矿带.新疆西天山金、铜、铅锌矿找矿面临重大突破,不断认识乌兹别克斯坦—吉尔吉斯斯坦—哈萨克斯坦东南部—中国新疆西部整个西天山的构造成矿过程,明确新疆西天山金、铜、铅锌矿重大找矿突破方向,预测大型矿集区十分必要.本文通过境内外野外地质矿产广泛调研和对相关文献综合研究,认为西天山造山带形成演化经历前寒武纪古陆边缘裂陷盆地、古生代洋-陆俯冲增生、晚古生代陆-陆碰撞造山、中—新生代坳陷盆地四个主要地质过程,造就出四类重要成矿系统和类型:①元古宙边缘裂陷盆地铅锌成矿系统SEDEX型;②古生代俯冲岛弧金铜铅锌成矿系统斑岩-矽卡岩-浅成低温热液型;③晚古生代碰撞造山金铅锌成矿系统造山型-MVT;④中—新生代坳陷盆地铅锌铜成矿系统砂岩型.综合对比西天山境内外成矿系统地质发育特点,预测新疆西天山那拉提-额尔宾中天山隆起带是造山型金矿找矿重大突破区,吐拉苏盆地和巴音布鲁克中天山以及那拉提山北坡有望实现斑岩型金铜找矿突破,伊犁地块南缘元古宇SEDEX型铅锌找矿值得关注,山间/山前盆地无疑是砂岩型铅锌铜找矿优先选择.     

四川盆地中二叠统栖霞组层序——岩相古地理

随着对四川盆地碳酸盐岩储集层的重视和大力勘探,中二叠统栖霞组发育的滩相储集层成为盆地内寻找新气源的有利层位之一。文中根据岩心观察、野外剖面实测和室内镜下岩石薄片鉴定分析,并结合各种沉积相标志研究,确定研究区栖霞组主要发育浅水型碳酸盐岩台地沉积,其可进一步划分为碳酸盐岩台地相及若干亚相和微相。以Vail的层序地层学理论为指导,通过以岩性—岩相转换界面为主的层序界面识别,确定栖霞组发育2个Ⅱ型三级层序,每个层序划分出TST和HST两个沉积体系域。在沉积相和层序地层学分析的基础上,以层序格架内体系域为编图单元,用"单因素分析多因素综合作图法"编制了各体系域的岩相古地理图并对其演化特征进行了分析。结合各相带储集物性特征,认为台缘滩和台内滩为最有利储集相带,尤以SQ2-HST滩相颗粒灰岩经过白云岩化改造后更具储集意义。     

Qanat is not a hazard

Comments are presented on the article by Abbasnejad et al. (Environ Earth Sci 75:1306, 2016) dealing with qanat and hazards in Iran. My rebuttal starts from the direct attribution of the described hazards to qanat and addresses the importance in the correct use of terminology for geological hazards. All of the problems pointed out in Iran (subsidence, sinkholes, pollution) have, to me, an anthropogenic origin and cannot be directly ascribed to qanat. Eventually, I present some additional elements to highlight the remarkable importance of qanat systems and their influence on the development of similar underground structures in many countries of the Mediterranean Basin. This remarks the relevance of qanat as cultural heritage sites and the need for their preservation and valorization.     

Application of statistical method in pollution episode analyses

Observed pollutants are of both primary and secondary origins, influenced by local topography and meteorology. Identifying sources and relative contribution often require vast detailed data collection and complicated models. This study applied a statistical time series analysis to two selected pollution events, spring and fall, at two sites in northern Taiwan. Vector moving average representations were used to quantitatively examine relationships among chemical pollutants and estimate their lifetimes. Results from impulse responses show that wind direction change alters the characteristic of pollution observed in opposite sites of Taipei City, from chemical dominant system to transport dominant one and vice versa. Chemicals are clearly separated into photochemical pollutants and primary pollutants. Results pointed out that Taipei City is the major source of photochemical smog, but not these primary pollutants. Derived chemical lifetimes at same location vary from 20% to four times under different meteorological condition. Estimated concentrations of hydroxyl radical range between 2 to 8 × 10⁷ cm⁻³. Photochemical pollutants are responsible for parts of PM10 collected in both station observed. Oxidation of SO₂ is only important in PM10 observed at one station. This study provides a simpler tool to derive information usually from complex models, therefore, is suitable as complement in decision-making process.
