Heat Flow Distribution and Thermal Mechanism Analysis of the Gonghe Basin based on Gravity and Magnetic Methods

Geothermal resource is indispensable as a clean, renewable, stable and cheap resource. Nowadays in China, the Gonghe Basin, located in northeastern Qinghai Province, has been thought to be a promising geothermal area. To explore geothermal energy potential in and around the Gonghe Basin, geophysical means including magnetic and gravity methods were used to plot distribution. Firstly, we inversed Moho depth and Curie point depth in and around the basin using gravity and magnetic data, respectively, through an improved Parker–Oldenburg algorithm. Secondly, seven different thermal models were established, considering radiogenic heat, basement depth, anomalous heat source and simulated corresponding temperature field and heat flow. These were analyzed numerically and we found the high heat flow in the Gonghe Basin co-acted with radiogenic heat, an anomalous heat source and conductive heat. The distribution of seismic activities indicates that the Langshan–Wuwei–Gonghe Fault might have provided channels for transporting heat effectively.

特提斯喜马拉雅铅锌锑金成矿带含炭质岩石中热液脉型矿床的综合电法勘探——以西藏扎西康铅锌锑多金属矿为例

扎西康铅锌锑多金属矿床产出于特提斯喜马拉雅炭质板岩的断裂带内,是特提斯喜马拉雅铅锌锑金成矿带内典型的热液脉型矿床。由于含炭质岩石和金属硫化物都呈现出相似的低阻高极化电性特征,加之热液脉型矿床的矿体普遍较小,使得在含炭质岩石中对金属硫化物矿体进行电法勘探存在较大困难。本文通过对扎西康矿床已知矿体的音频大地电磁测深和激电中梯测量,发现矿区的炭质板岩呈现低电阻率(10^-0.4~10⁰Ω·m)和高极化率(9%~20%)特征,而矿体呈现出高电阻率(10²~10³Ω·m)和低极化率(1%~5%)的特征。经研究分析,认为造成这种现象的原因有两方面：(1)扎西康炭质板岩中的炭质物质量分数平均为0.79%,变质温度约在300±25℃~340±25℃,炭质物电阻率为6.1×10^-5~6.8×10^-4Ω·m,显示极好的导电性;此外,炭质板岩中存在大量黏土矿物,黏土矿物的吸水性促进了炭质物的连通性,因此炭质物高导电性与连通性的耦合使得炭质板岩呈现低阻高极化电性特征;(2)扎西康矿床的脉型矿体除包含金属硫化物外,还产出大量的脉石矿物,脉石矿物普遍具有高阻低极化电性特征,是造成整个矿体在炭质板岩中呈现高阻低极化异常的根本原因。据此,本文提出在炭质板岩中通过识别脉石矿物引起的高阻低极化异常带间接找矿的新思路,相应的技术方法组合为：利用激电中梯测量定位高阻低极化带的平面位置,再利用音频大地电磁测深探测其深部产状。

Characterization of karst conduits by tracer tests for an artificial recharge scheme

Challenged by rapidly changing climate in combination with an increase in anthropogenic pressures, karst groundwater resources in the Old Town of Lijiang (OTLJ), SW China, are diminishing. Higher frequency and longer duration of dried-up periods have been observed at the Heilongtan Park (HP) Springs in recent years. Thus, there is an urgent need for an artificial recharge scheme, aimed at replenishing groundwater in the aquifer and increasing the outflow of the springs to ensure effective water resources management. Evaluation of the scheme feasibility, prior to its implementation, is important. In this study, tracer tests were conducted between the recharge area and receiving springs in order to gain insight into the transport mechanisms of karst groundwater and the structural characteristics of the aquifer. Multiple underground flow paths, exhibiting high conductivity between the recharge area and HP Springs, were revealed by the interpretation of tracer breakthrough curves. Three springs considered as the leakages of the scheme were identified. Moreover, the outflow of springs at HP and OTLJ were predicted to be increased by the artificially recharged water after 9.2 and 12.5 days, respectively. Quantitative analysis of tracer recoveries demonstrates that the springs to be recharged and the springs considered as leakages, respectively, share 45 and 55% of the increased outflow. The feasibility of the scheme has been confirmed by the tracer tests. This report provides references for the evaluation of artificial groundwater recharge and protection strategies, particularly in large and poorly investigated karst spring fields.

基于三维激光扫描技术的岩质边坡泥化夹层空间分布和几何形态

为了定量研究泥化夹层的空间分布和几何形态,以云南省玉溪市生活垃圾焚烧发电厂高边坡局部开挖剖面为对象,利用徕卡ScanStation C10三维激光扫描仪和瑞典ROMER RA-7520-2六轴关节臂三维测量仪进行扫描,得到了开挖剖面和泥化夹层的原始点云数据;然后采用Cyclone和Geomagic Wrap软件对点云数据进行一系列处理,分析了泥化夹层的三维空间分布、层面产状、间距、层面粗糙度和几何形态。结果表明：大部分泥化夹层横向分布于整个扫描剖面,少数呈局部分布;泥化夹层的平均倾向为196.41°±5.51°,平均倾角为22.27°±2.23°,间距在3.7~49.1 cm之间,平均值为（20.4±12.0）cm;不同层位及同一层位不同横向位置的泥化夹层厚度都不等,最厚约20 mm,最薄小于1 mm;泥化夹层顶面局部典型区域的平面拟合偏差在-22.4~32.5 mm之间,沿夹层倾向的粗糙度系数在5.67~16.77之间,平均值为10.11±3.25;泥化夹层的表面积与体积之比在5.14~5.86 cm^-1之间。运用三维激光扫描技术研究泥化夹层的空间分布和几何形态是可行的。玉溪市生活垃圾焚烧发电厂高边坡的泥化夹层具有宏观整体上相对平直、相互近似平行、非等距分布、间距小、层数多、厚度薄,细观上顶面粗糙底面相对光滑、三维形态复杂的特点。     

银额盆地石板泉西石炭系白山组碳酸盐岩地球化学特征及其环境意义

对银额盆地石板泉西石炭系白山组碳酸盐岩进行详细的地球化学分析,探讨各特征元素对古环境、古气候的指示意义。地球化学测试结果显示：除样品CH3外,其余样品主量元素中的Al及微量元素中的Ti、Zr、Th等典型陆源特征元素的含量较低,Y/Ho平均值为45.58,反映研究区白山组碳酸盐岩较少受陆源物质输入的影响;δCe与δEu、w（ΣREE）、（La/Sm）_N未见良好的相关性,也不具备Eu正异常,说明研究区白山组碳酸盐岩受成岩作用和热液作用的影响也较为有限。碳酸盐岩中所含微量元素主要为海水自生成因,能够反映原始沉积环境。根据特征元素对古水深、古盐度、古气候、古氧相和古水温进行研究,显示研究区白山组碳酸盐岩段虽然岩性较为单一,但其地球化学特征可以反映早晚的沉积古环境差异。研究区白山组碳酸盐岩总体经历了1个大的海侵海退旋回,沉积于正常海水,气候潮湿,弱氧化—弱还原环境,古水温为8.51~27.10℃,早期水温低,晚期水温升高。     

贵州兴义雄武背斜菁角地区龙潭组含铀砂岩地球化学特征及其意义

菁角地处于兴义市雄武背斜核部南东翼南西段,大地构造位置位于扬子板块与华南板块的结合部.前人主要对该地区的金矿进行了矿点地质特征、构造特征、矿体形态等方面的研究,但对岩石学特征、铀的赋存形式以及地球化学特征研究较少.本次研究利用TIMA扫面、显微镜下观察、地球化学分析等方法对矿石、围岩的岩石学特征、地球化学特征、风化作用和分选、源区岩石类型、铀的赋存形式等方面进行探究.TIMA扫面以及显微镜下观察的结果表明铀的赋存形式是以弥散状充填进黏土化(高岭石)裂隙中.菁脚地区地球化学分析显示,龙潭组砂岩中w(SiO2)为51.30％～91.55％,围岩主要类型为亚岩屑砂岩,矿石以及矿化岩石为岩屑砂屑岩,CIA(73.83～82.53)以及ICV指数表明矿石及矿化岩石较围岩成熟度高、风化程度强.测试样品均有较强的U正异常,含量为4.78～772.00×10-6,且U与∑REE,Sb元素呈现明显正相关,Zr与∑REE呈强的正相关(R=1).菁角地区铀的来源是热液在上升过程中萃取围岩中的铀,沿着层间构造破碎带充填进成熟度较高的黑色砂岩中富集而成,结合菁角地区岩石学特征、地球化学特征以及铀的赋存形式,推测菁脚金(铀)矿床为低温热液矿床.     

上扬子地区不同类型岩石生氦潜力评价及泥页岩氦气开采条件理论计算

上扬子地区是我国页岩气重要开采区,也是氦气工业性开采的唯一地区,但对于其氦气生成潜力研究仍处于空白阶段.据此,对上扬子东南地区采集的144件岩石样品进行场发射扫描电镜及铀、钍强度测试,理论计算了页岩气中氦气达到我国工业开采标准(0.05％)需要满足的理论条件.岩石扫描电镜结果表明,富含铀、钍的副矿物(锆石、独居石、铀钍石及磷灰石等)主要赋存于造岩矿物石英和长石中.岩石铀、钍强度测试结果表明,三大类岩石中铀平均含量呈现:沉积岩(8.96×10-6)＞岩浆岩(4.83×10-6)＞变质岩(1.89×10-6);钍平均含量呈现:沉积岩(11.01×10-6)≈变质岩(10.4×10-6)＞岩浆岩(5.9×10-6).岩浆岩中铀、钍平均含量呈现:酸性岩＞中性岩＞基性岩＞超基性岩;沉积岩中铀平均含量呈现泥页岩(13.86×10-6)＞＞砂岩(2.54×10-6)＞碳酸盐岩(1.67×10-6);钍平均含量呈现泥页岩(12.50×10-6)≈砂岩(12.76×10-6)＞碳酸盐岩(5.96×10-6).不同沉积时代沉积岩中铀、钍平均含量也呈现上述分布规律.沉积岩中铀、钍含量主要与岩石的沉积环境与物源有关,与沉积时代无关.单位时间、单位质量岩石氦气生成量的大小为:泥页岩＞酸性岩＞中性岩＞砂岩＞变质岩＞碳酸盐岩＞基性岩＞超基性岩.以中国南方地区上奥陶统五峰组—下志留统龙马溪组页岩为例,当该层位泥页岩中残余氦气含量为U,Th元素衰变释放出来氦气含量的80％以上时,适合进行"页岩气+氦气"的共同开采,提高页岩气的开采价值.
