近800a来内蒙古岱海湖水的盐度定量及其气候意义

在干旱半干旱地区 ,封闭湖泊的湖水盐度对气候变化反应敏感。首先通过现生介形类 (Lim nocytherecf.inopinata)壳体与湖水Sr/Ca比值的测定确定了Sr/Ca的分配系数 ;然后测试现代岱海湖水盐度与湖水Sr/Ca比值 ,建立湖水盐度与湖水Sr/Ca比值的函数关系 ;最后利用湖泊沉积剖面中介形类壳体的Sr/Ca比值定量恢复了岱海湖水近 80 0a来的盐度。通过分析岱海湖水盐度变化过程 ,揭示了研究区小冰期前期降水增加的冷湿气候 ,这明显不同于东部其它地区的冷干气候 ;研究区在小冰期中后期以偏干旱气候为主 ,这与东部其它地区干冷气候相一致 ;推测了 2 1世纪初 10～ 2 0a ,岱海地区降水将有所增加 ,干旱趋于缓和。     

苏锡常地区地面沉降机理及防治措施

地面沉降是一种危害性严重的地质灾害。由于地下水的长期超量开采导致地面沉降不断加剧。然而人们往往总是忽略了地质灾害与地质模式的内在联系,把大多数原因归结为人类活动。事实上地面沉降的发生不仅与地下水水位下降密切相关,而且还与地层岩性结构、水文地质条件、土的类型、厚度、压缩性的大小、固结历史等因素有关。本文以苏锡常地区为例,对地面沉降的机理进行了分析并提出了防治措施。     

固结比对石灰土动力特性的影响试验研究

以石灰改性膨胀土为研究对象,结合铁路路基实际的非等向固结状态,考虑了不同固结比或偏应力对石灰改性膨胀土动力特性的影响。通过循环振动三轴试验,对掺灰比为3 %石灰改性膨胀土,在选定的6组固结比下表现出的动力特性进行了研究,得出了固结比或偏应力的变化对其产生的影响。在研究的固结比范围内,随着固结比和偏应力的增大,石灰土的动弹模量显著地增大;阻尼比则相应地表现出减小的趋势,但所受影响程度较之动弹模量略小。

剪切带中矿化与非矿化地段流体——岩石相互作用差异性研究

以河南西峡石板沟金矿为例,选择了一条控矿剪切带,对其中成矿地段的近矿蚀变岩和非成矿地段糜棱岩进行了系统的采样,探讨了二者在流体-岩石反应及岩石质量平衡之间的差异性。研究表明,剪切带中矿化地段蚀变岩其岩石体积总是扩容的,非矿化地段糜棱岩在变形过程中体积是损失的。矿化地段蚀变岩活性元素(K、Na、Si)总体呈被带入趋势,非矿化地段糜棱岩活性元素总体呈迁出趋势,糜棱岩的流体岩石率(N_u为93.68—468.40)远大于蚀变岩的流体岩石率(Nc_(Ⅳ)^s为36.11-216.67),剪切带中常量元素与微量元素富集与损失是渗透性流体带入、带出,岩石的体积损失与扩容综合作用的结果。     

Long-Term Observations of Isotope Ratio Accuracy and Reproducibility Using Quadrupole ICP-MS

High precision isotope ratio and trace element determination can be achieved with modern quadrupole ICP-MS provided that short and long-term instrument performance is accurately monitored. Here we present results for the isotope ratios ⁶Li/⁷Li, ¹⁴⁷Sm/¹⁴⁹Sm, ¹⁶⁰Dy/¹⁶¹Dy, ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb, ²⁰⁸Pb/²⁰⁶Pb, ²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb and ²³⁵U/²³⁸U with which we determined long-term isotope ratio stability of relevance to both trace element and isotope determination. With respect to trace element determination, we first present long-term observations regarding oxide formation rates of Ba and Nd on light REE and heavy REE, as well as Zr on Ag. These showed good correlations and could be used to correct effectively the interference. The efficacy of this correction was demonstrated with analyses of the rock reference material BHVO-2 at both low and high oxide formation rates. Next, we studied the long-term reproducibility of a Dy isotope ratio that was measured to correct for the isobaric interference on Gd. It was found that, regardless of tuning condition, the ratio reproduced very well (0.58% RSD, 1s) and that the estimate of the Gd concentration did not suffer from the large correction (> 10%) caused by the Dy isobar. Long-term reproducibilities of Li, Sm and U isotope ratios, required for accurate mass bias correction when isotopically enriched internal standards of these elements are employed, were measured in the rock reference materials AGV-2 and JA-3 over a time period of up to 3 years. As expected, the Li isotope ratio showed the largest variability (RSD = 7%), but the other two ratios had relative external reproducibilities of only 1.01% (1s, U) and 0.67% (Sm). The mass bias-induced scatter in measurements for Sm and U was so small that the internal standard correction was effective, even for samples with high concentrations of these elements. With regard to Pb-isotope ratio determination, we also present long-term reproducibility for NIST SRM 982, run as an unknown and two accuracy tests for Pb separated from granitoids and from meteorites. It is demonstrated that the obtained ratios, including those involving ²⁰⁴Pb, are accurate relative to MC-ICP-MS determinations and of comparable precision to conventional TIMS analysis. The excellent agreement between all data sets shows the potential of modern quadrupole ICP-MS instrumentation for Pb-isotope determination, particularly for samples with very low Pb content.     

亲铜(亲铁)元素含量比值在地球科学中的初步应用实例

亲铜(亲铁)元素在行星增生演化、核幔分异、地幔岩浆过程、壳幔相互作用以及金属矿床成因等领域具有举足轻重的作用。本文从亲铜元素的地球化学性质出发,介绍了"高维度思维"的亲铜元素含量比值及其在地球科学领域的初步应用:①获得同一份样品中不同亲铜元素含量可在一定程度上降低样品的不均一性(块金效应)对含量比值的影响;②Cu/Ag值可以约束不同高温岩浆过程中硫化物固液状态和亲铜元素地球化学性质,进而认识地幔、洋壳和大陆地壳间的联系;③具有不同分配系数的亲铜元素含量的比值可以鉴别岩浆硫化物饱和史,比如通过亲铜元素的分异约束火星陨石母岩浆的硫化物不饱和演化历史;④依据In-Cd-Zn在硅酸盐地球的含量以及它们的相对亲铜亲铁性质,地球主体增生物质已经消失,不能由陨石代表。     

利用碳酸盐岩的Fe/Mn比值恢复海洋的氧化还原状态

碳酸盐岩的Fe/Mn元素比值,作为一项新的地球化学指标,可以用于恢复海洋的氧化还原状态.在氧化条件下,Fe3+和Mn4+均不可溶,因此氧化海水中的溶解Fe和Mn的含量均很低.Fe3+和Mn4+在还原条件下可以被细菌还原为可溶的Fe2+和Mn2+,而氧化还原电位的计算表明,Mn4+的还原要早于Fe3+的还原,因此细菌的Mn还原过程发生在沉积物的更浅层.可溶的Fe2+和Mn2+向上扩散到海水中,替代碳酸盐岩晶格里的Ca2+,因此碳酸盐岩晶格中的Fe2+和Mn2+的含量受控于来自沉积物孔隙水的扩散,而后者又与水岩界面的氧化还原状态相关.因此可以预测,随着海水变得逐渐缺氧,碳酸盐岩中的Fe/Mn比值会逐渐增高.为了验证这一假说,我们分析了中元古代高于庄组白云岩的Fe/Mn比值.研究发现,几乎所有的样品的Fe/Mn比值介于20~30之间,显著高于泥盆纪末期深水碳酸盐岩和浅水台地碳酸盐岩的Fe/Mn比值.高于庄组碳酸盐岩高的Fe/Mn比值一方面可能指示了中元古代低的大气氧气浓度和海洋的广泛缺氧,也可能反映了白云岩形成于缺氧的沉积物空隙水里.     

Elastic properties of granulite facies rocks of Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India

Compressional and shear wave velocities and attenuation measurements have been carried out in some of the borehole samples of acidic, basic and intermediate granulites of Mahabalipuram, Tamil Nadu, India. The results have been obtained at ambient conditions using ‘time-of-flight’ pulse transmission technique at 1.0 MHz frequency. The results show linear relationships between velocity and density, and velocity and attenuation properties of the rocks. The acidic granulites show lower velocities and higher attenuation than the intermediate and basic granulites. The average values of the Poisson’s ratio of acidic, intermediate and basic granulites have been found to be 0.210, 0.241 and 0.279 respectively. The variations in velocities and attenuation in these low porosity crystalline rocks are found to be strongly influenced by their mineral composition. The laboratory velocity data (extrapolated to high pressure) of the present study and the published field velocity data from deep seismic sounding studies indicate that these granulite facies rocks may belong to mid-crustal depths only.     

Fluid sources for the La Guitarra epithermal deposit (Temascaltepec district, Mexico): Volatile and helium isotope analyses in fluid inclusions

The La Guitarra deposit (Temascaltepec district, South-Central Mexico), belongs to the low/intermediate sulfidation epithermal type, has a polymetallic character although it is currently being mined for Ag and Au. The mineralization shows a polyphasic character and formed through several stages and sub-stages (named I, IIA, IIB, IIC, IID, and III). The previous structural, mineralogical, fluid inclusion and stable isotope studies were used to constrain the selection of samples for volatile and helium isotope analyses portrayed in this study. The N₂/Ar overall range obtained from analytical runs on fluid inclusion volatiles, by means of Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (QMS), is 0 to 2526, and it ranges 0 to 2526 for stage I, 0 to 1264 for stage IIA, 0 to 1369 for stage IIB, 11 to 2401 for stage IIC, 19 to 324 for stage IID, and 0 to 2526 for stage III. These values, combined with the CO₂/CH₄ ratios, and N₂-He-Ar and N₂-CH₄-Ar relationships, suggest the occurrence of fluids from magmatic, crustal, and shallow meteoric sources in the forming epithermal vein deposit. The helium isotope analyses, obtained by means of Noble Gas Mass Spectrometry, display R/Ra average values between 0.5 and 2, pointing to the occurrence of mantle-derived helium that was relatively diluted or “contaminated” by crustal helium. These volatile analyses, when correlated with the stable isotope data from previous works and He isotope data, show the same distribution of data concerning sources for mineralizing fluids, especially those corresponding to magmatic and crustal sources. Thus, the overall geochemical data from mineralizing fluids are revealed as intrinsically consistent when compared to each other.The three main sources for mineralizing fluids (magmatic, and both deep and shallow meteoric fluids) are accountable at any scale, from stages of mineralization down to specific mineral associations. The volatile and helium isotope data obtained in this paper suggest that the precious metal-bearing mineral associations formed after hydrothermal pulses of predominantly oxidized magmatic fluids, and thus it is likely that precious metals were carried by fluids with such origin. Minerals from base-metal sulfide associations record both crustal and magmatic sources for mineralizing fluids, thus suggesting that base metals could be derived from deep leaching of crustal rocks. At the La Guitarra epithermal deposit there is no evidence for an evolution of mineralizing fluids towards any dominant source. Rather than that, volatile analyses in fluid inclusions suggest that this deposit formed as a pulsing hydrothermal system where each pulse or set of pulses accounts for different compositions of mineralizing fluids.The positive correlation between the relative content of magmatic fluids (high N₂/Ar ratios) and H₂S suggests that the necessary sulfur to carry mostly gold as bisulfide complexes came essentially from magmatic sources. Chlorine necessary to carry silver and base metals was found to be abundant in inclusion fluids and although there is no evidence about its source, it is plausible that it may come from magmatic sources as well.
