浙江雷甸淡水无光珠中球文石的首次确认

球文石（Vaterite)是CaCO3很不稳定的同质多象变体，在自然界里很少出现，通过光学显微镜在淡水无光珠中发现球文石尚属首次，本文研究了淡水无光珠内球文石的显微特征、X射线粉晶衍射特征及显微红外光谱特征，研究结果表明淡水无光珍珠内球文石粉晶衍射由强至弱五个强峰的d值为0.3266,0.2723,0.3553,0.1811,0.2057nm；其红外光谱特征波数为1489，1450,1420,1087,1050,876,830,762,743cm^-1。球文石的存在是影响淡水珍珠品质的主要内在因素之一。     

下庄铀成矿古水热系统排泄区（减压区）铀成矿作用研究

形成于古水热系统排泄区（减压区）的下庄花岗岩型铀矿床是地下热水与岩石相互作用的产物。矿物流体包裹体水文地球化学分析表明，成矿期铀成矿古热水溶液气体成分主要为CO2，水化学类型为HCO3－Ca.Na型，F－Ca型和HCO3.F－K型。地球化学模式和热力学计算证明，热水溶液中铀的存在形式为UO2（CO3）2^2-,UO2F3^-和UO2F4^2-。热水溶液深循环过程中CO2的加入可使溶液铀沉淀临界电位值（EhC,U)明显降低，从而保持水－铀比电位值（ΔEhW,U)为正值（ΔEhW,U=EhW-EhC,U)使铀在深部相对还原的条件下仍能稳定迁移。当富铀成矿热液进入减压排泄区时，由于溶液物理－化学条件的改变，发生CO2脱气作用和中和还原作用，导致ΔEhW,U小于零，使铀沉淀、富集，最终形成花岗岩型铀矿床。     

养殖珍珠微量元素特征及其对珍珠生长环境的指示意义

采用等离子光谱和X射线荧光探针等分析方法，对海水养殖珍珠和淡水养殖珍珠的微量元素特征进行了深入研究，表明：（1）海水养殖珍珠中S、Na、Mg、Sr等微量元素相对富集，Mn等相对亏损；（2）淡水养殖珍珠中Mn相对富集，而S、Na,Mg,Sr相对亏损，与海水养殖珍珠微量元素特征正好相反，研究成果对养殖珍珠的生长环境的判定及其类型的精确鉴定具有重要意义。

Physical structure features of the crust at southeast region of Tibetan Plateau

Chemical reactions of plagioclase, biotite and their single minerals, as well as a mineral mixture of (plagioclase+biotite+quartz), with KCl and (KCl+KHCO₃) solutions were carried out at 150–400°C and 50–80 MPa. Experiments show that alkaline fluid promotes plagioclase’s changing into potash feldspar, while acid fluid helps plagioclase, potash feldspar and biotite alteration form chlorite and sericite. After chemical reaction the acidity-alkalinity of solutions often changes reversely. It was observed that gold dissolved from the tube wall and recrystallized on the surfaces of biotite and pyrite. Therefore the transportation and enrichment of gold are related to the elementary effect of the fluid-mineral interfaces. Fe³⁺-Fe²⁺, as an oxidition-reduction agent, and volatile components Cl^- and CO₂ play important roles in the reaction process     

Group Strong Earthquakes and Triggering by Tidal Stress

The results obtained using the group model of earthquakes generated in tectonic blocks are fur ther used in this paper to analyze the relationship between the Ms ≥ 7.0 events in Chinese ma inland and the modulation and triggering from the earth tides. The research shows that the Ms 7.0 events in Chinese mainland have been significantly triggered by the tidal stress, especially within the active period with group strong earthquakes. In the quiescence period of strong earthquakes, no Ms7.0 events were triggered, while within the active period, over 82.4% of strong earthquakes took place within a special moon phase, which is 36.4 % higher than the average. Therefore, the modulation and triggering of tidal stress can be used to distinguish the active periods and to forecast the time of the strong earthquakes within the active period. The relationship between the tidal triggering and the tectonic dynamic condition is investigated and the mechanism of the modulation is simulated with the group model of earthquakes generated in tectonic blocks.     

Sr isotope evolution during chemical weathering of granites —Impact of relative weathering rates of minerals

The Sr isotopic systematics in the weathering profiles of biotite granite and granite porphyry in southern Jiangxi Province were investigated. The results showed that during the chemical weathering of granites, remarked fractionation occurred between Rb and Sr. During the early stages of chemical weathering of granites, the released Sr/Si and Sr/Ca ratios are larger than those of the parent rocks, and the leaching rate of Sr is higher than those of Si, Ca, K, Rb, etc. Dynamic variations in relative weathering rates of the main Sr-contributing minerals led to fluctuation with time in⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of inherent and released Sr in the weathering crust of granite. Successive weathering of biotite, plagioclase and K-feldspar made⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios in the weathering residues show such a fluctuation trend as to decrease first, increase, and then decrease again till they maintain stable. This work further indicates that when Sr isotopes are used to trace biogeochemical processes on both the catchment and global scales, one must seriously take account of the preferential release of Sr from dissolving solid phase and the fluctuation of⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios caused by the variations of relative weathering rates of Sr-contributing minerals.

Characteristics of surface ground motions induced by blasts in jointed rock mass

An in-situ experimental program in a jointed rock mass was designed and implemented to investigate the rock joint effects on stress wave propagation. Accelerometers were placed on rock surface along three lines at 0, 45 and 90° to the predominant rock joint strike direction. Eight blasts were detonated in a charge hole drilled in the rock mass. The equivalent TNT blast weight ranged from 2.5 to 50.0 kg and the loading density (charge weight divided by the charge chamber volume) varied from 1 to 20.0 kg/m³. A fully coupled detonation with a charge weight of 25.0 kg was also exploded to study the coupling effect. The recorded data are presented and analyzed in this paper. The effects of rock joints on characteristics of stress wave propagation such as peak value attenuation, spectrum, and spatial variations are discussed.     

Magnetotelluric sounding results in eastern Tibetan Plateau

The results of Zayü-Qingshuihe MT sounding profile carried out in eastern Tibetan Plateau are presented in this paper. Using 2-D RRI method, the resistivity distribution with depth is obtained along the profile. It is featured by the resistivity zones in the horizontal direction and layers in the vertical direction. The Bangong-Nujiang suture zone and Jinshajiang suture zone are both important electrical conductivity-separating zones in the plateau, and the former is a zone with relatively low resistivity while the latter is an electrical conductivity gradient zone. The highly electrical conductive bodies in the mid and lower crust of northern Qiangtang and Bayan Har Terrain might be caused by regional melting due to shear heating during the process of subduction in tectonic evolution.
