200 years of mining activities at La Paz/San Luis Potosí/Mexico - Consequences for environment and geochemical exploration

The Ag---Pb---Zn---Cu---Au mining district of Santa María de La Paz has been extensively exploited for approximately 200 years. Consequences of these activities are several deposits of tailings with high As and heavy metal concentrations, which are completely unstable. The climate is semiarid and as the dumps have no protective cover, material from the dumps is dispersed by strong winds. It is also washed out during seasonally heavy rainfalls. By these processes approximately 100 km² of surrounding have been contaminated by dump material. The As and heavy metal content of the soils was determined as well as their level in crops (Zea Maize) from agricultural lands in the vicinity of the dumps. In the direction of prevailing winds concentrations up to 1000 ppm Zn, 400 ppm Pb, 16 ppm Cd, 550 ppm Cu and 300 As have been detected in top soils. Using fuzzy cluster analysis the different contamination sources could be identified. Grains of corn from contaminated sites showed no critical concentrations, but leaves which are also used tor fodder, have As-concentrations up to 20 ppm.     

Mobility of heavy metals as a function of pH of samples from an overbank sediment profile contaminated by mining activities

Parts of the flood plains north of the Harz Mountains are contaminated with heavy metals, such as Pb, Cu, Zn and Cd derived from mining, which has been carried out in the Harz Mts. since the Middle Ages. It is important to know the mobility of the heavy metals in these overbank sediments in order to estimate the danger to the environment arising from this source. This paper deals with the effect of pH on heavy-metal mobility, using a constant-pH method. The investigations were carried out on an overbank sediment profile near Salzgitter Bad, north of the Harz Mts. The mobility of the heavy metals in the overbank sediment profile is described as a function of pH and depth. Besides the mobile heavy-metal fraction at a certain pH, the buffering capacity of the sediment at this pH must be taken into consideration. The different layers of the overbank sediment profile show distinct differences in buffering capacity and a natural pH harrier could be identified in the upper part of the profile. Therefore, to avoid increasing heavy-metal mobility the natural layering of the overbank sediment profile should not be disturbed. Two different kinds of desorption experiments at constant pH are also discussed, as well as the conversion of the heavy-metal species in the ore minerals into the species in the sediment.

五台山西部狐狸山含金韧性剪切带的地球化学研究

狐狸山金矿区，在无蚀变作用参与的韧性变形过程中，岩石化学成分发生了明显的变化。但大多数微量元素含量变化不大，稀土元素配分模式基本不变，它们可以反映原岩的特点。蚀变糜棱岩型矿体与围岩相比，稀土配分模式、亲硫元素Ａｕ、Ａｇ、Ｃｕ和两性元素Ａｓ、Ｓｂ含量差别显著，尤其是Ａｕ含量，前者是后者的百倍～几万倍，金的成矿作用主要与韧性变形后期富金流体的蚀变作用关系密切。     

湖相介形虫壳的稳定同位素和微量元素在古气候研究中的应用

本文介绍了测定实验室养殖的介形虫Candonarawsoni和水的氧同位素分馏系数，结果表明，这个种属的介形虫壳的氧同位素组成是它所生成环境水的氧同位素组成和水温的函数。因此，介形虫壳的氧同位素组成是一个很好的水化学环境指示计。本文研究了Candonarawsoni的脱壳温度范围，发现它可以在很宽温度范围内脱壳及生长新壳。由于季节温度变化很大，所以用介形虫壳的地球化学指标研究古环境的变化时，每个样品都要采集较多的个体介形虫壳，以使其分析结果能代表年平均温度。
