黄铁矿中晶格金的萃取实验及有关问题的初步研究

尽管某些研究者认为黄铁矿中确实存在有晶格金,但以前的研究都没有取得直接而充分的证据。为此,作者做了晶格金的萃取实验,使黄铁矿中的晶格金(离子金)形成[AuCl_4]-络合物,然后利用紫外—可见光谱证实了[AuCl_4]-的存在,从而取得了晶格金存在较为直接而充分的证据。作者认为,象黄铁矿中Fe~(2+)与Au~(+)的取代关系的理论解释不应局限于类质同象的传统理论上,而应用现代的配位场理论解释之。计算表明,只要温度足够高,Au~(+)是可以取代Fe~(2+)形成晶格金的。本文还通过穆斯鲍尔谱的研究,探讨了晶格金的形成机理。     

辽宁红透山铜锌块状硫化物矿床的变质变形和成矿组分再活化

辽宁红透山铜-锌块状硫化物产在太古宙绿岩带中，矿床形成后经历了强烈的变形和变质，变质程度达高级角闪岩相。野外和显微镜研究表明，矿石在进变质过程中发生过强烈的机械再活化和重结晶，但各种进变质结构大部分已被变质峰期的全面重结晶所清除，目前保存着的结构主要是变质峰期和退变质过程的产物。退变质过程以黄铁矿变斑晶生长、矿石糜棱岩的形成、二次退火和化学再活化为特征。矿床中高度富集铜和金的矿石是韧性剪切形成的矿石糜棱岩受退变质流体叠加而成。磁黄铁矿主要是同生沉积后重结晶的产物，另有一部分由退变质热液形成，而黄铁矿变斑晶则有沉积一重结晶、磁黄铁矿退变质脱硫和热液叠加多种成因。世界各地块状硫化物矿床中的磁黄铁矿和黄铁矿各有三种成因类型。磁黄铁矿的类型有：同生沉积．变质重结晶、同生沉积黄铁矿变质和退变质热液充填或交代；黄铁矿的类型有：同生沉积-变质重结晶、磁黄铁矿退变质脱硫和退变质热液充填或交代。红透山矿区的退变质流体具有从早到晚氧逸度升高的趋势。

Coupled Reactive Transport Modeling of Redox Processes in a Nitrate-Polluted Sandy Aquifer

The reactive transport modeling of a complicated suite of reactions apparent in the aquifer during the application of N-containing fertilizers is reported. The unconfined sandy aquifer can be subdivided into an oxic zone which contains groundwater with oxygen and nitrate and an anoxic zone characterized by elevated iron and sulfate concentrations in groundwater. Oxygen and nitrate are being reduced by pyrite and organic matter that commonly apparent in the aquifer. The oxidation of pyrite is modeled using the local equilibrium approach, whereas decomposition of organic matter, with the adoption of kinetic approach. The system is buffered by dissolution of aluminum and iron oxides. The modeling process is a two-step procedure. First, the processes are modeled in the one-dimensional (1D) column using PHREEQC code. Subsequently, the calibrated and verified data were copied and used in two-dimensional (2D) PHAST model. Prior to the performance of reactive transport modeling operations with PHAST, a reliable flow model was executed. Finally, predictions are made for the distribution of water chemistry for the year 2008. Model predicts that sulfate derived from the ongoing pyrite oxidation is reduced by the dissolved organic carbon at the higher depth and forms pyrite by the reaction with iron. The results of this study highlight the importance of understanding the interplay between the transport and chemical reactions that occur during the input of nitrate to the aquifer. Reactive transport modeling incorporating the use of a newly developed code PHAST have proved to be a powerful tool for analyzing and quantifying such interactions.     

Hydrogeochemical evaluation of groundwater in the lower Offin basin,Ghana

Alumino-silicate mineral dissolution, cation exchange, reductive dissolution of hematite and goethite, oxidation of pyrite and arsenopyrite are processes that influence groundwater quality in the Offin Basin. The main aim of this study was to characterise groundwater and delineate relevant water–rock interactions that control the evolution of water quality in Offin Basin, a major gold mining area in Ghana. Boreholes, dug wells, springs and mine drainage samples were analysed for major ions, minor and trace elements. Major ion study results show that the groundwater is, principally, Ca–Mg–HCO₃ or Na–Mg–Ca–HCO₃ in character, mildly acidic and low in conductivity. Groundwater acidification is principally due to natural biogeochemical processes. Though acidic, the groundwater has positive acid neutralising potential provided by the dissolution of alumino-silicates and mafic rocks. Trace elements’ loading (except arsenic and iron) of groundwater is generally low. Reductive dissolution of iron minerals in the presence of organic matter is responsible for high-iron concentration in areas underlain by granitoids. Elsewhere pyrite and arsenopyrite oxidation is the plausible process for iron and arsenic mobilisation. Approximately 19 and 46% of the boreholes have arsenic and iron concentrations exceeding the WHO’s (Guidelines for drinking water quality. Final task group meeting. WHO Press, World Health Organization, Geneva, 2004) maximum acceptable limits of 10 μg l⁻¹ and 0.3 mg l⁻¹, for drinking water.     

Facies analyses and volcanic setting of the giant Neves Corvo massive sulfide deposit,Iberian Pyrite Belt,Portugal

In the Iberian Pyrite Belt, volcanic rocks are relatively scarce, accounting for approximately only 25% of the geologic record, with the remaining 75% consisting of sedimentary units. This association is very clear in the host succession to the Neves Corvo massive sulfide deposit in Portugal. The Neves Corvo host succession comprises the products of explosive and effusive rhyolitic eruptions intercalated with mudstone that records a submarine below-wave-base environment and provides precise biostratigraphic age constraints. The first and second volcanic events involved eruptions at local intrabasinal vents. The first event generated thick beds of fiamme breccia that are late Famennian in age. The fiamme were originally pumice clasts produced by explosive eruptions and were subsequently compacted. The second event was the late Strunian (latest Famennian) effusion of rhyolitic lava that was pervasively quench-fragmented. The third and final event is younger than the massive sulfide deposits poorly represented in the mine area and minor compared with the two other events. The integration of biostratigraphic data with the volcanic facies architecture indicates that the Neves Corvo ore deposits are similar in age to the late Strunian rhyolitic lava. Although regionally the Iberian Pyrite Belt is essentially a sedimentary succession, ore formation at Neves Corvo can be closely linked to discrete volcanic events that produced a relatively narrow range of volcanic facies.     

金在黄铁矿表面沉淀机理的实验研究

为了研究金在黄铁矿表面沉淀的机理,于室温、常压,在氯化物溶液中进行了黄铁矿粉末吸附金的实验。在不同pH的溶液中,黄铁矿均可吸附金,而且pH值明显地影响吸附速率。扫描电镜观察表明,反应后黄铁矿粒表面有金晶体形成。XPS研究得知,黄铁矿光片与含金氯化物溶液反应后表面有A⁰存在;硫在反应初期为S⁰、S₂O₃^2-,随后转变为SO₄^2-,而铁成为Fe³⁺.黄铁矿中的Fe²⁺和S₂^2-是溶液中金的还原剂。金在黄铁矿表面沉淀可能涉及吸附、还原和晶体生长等过程。     

安徽铜陵新桥铜硫金矿床的成因:来自两类黄铁矿微形貌学、地球化学特征的证据

新桥矿床是长江中下游成矿带铜陵矿集区内大型铜金硫矿床。本文以矿床中的黄铁矿为研究对象,在详细的野外观察和室内鉴定的基础上,将矿床中的黄铁矿分为胶状黄铁矿(Py I)和半自形-自形黄铁矿(Py II)两种类型。通过场发射扫描电镜(FE-SEM)和等离子激光质谱(LA ICP-MS)对两类黄铁矿的矿物相、形貌、微结构和微量元素成分进行研究。FE-SEM分析结果表明,Py I基本由极细粒黄铁矿组成,以自形-半自形立方体晶形为主,粒径大约100~500nm,而Py II主要为粒度为50~100μm,以八面体和五角十二面体晶形态为主,两类黄铁矿的形貌和微结构特征明显不同。LA-ICP-MS分析测试显示,Py I中相对富含As、Se、Te等元素,而Py II中成矿元素Cu、Pb、Zn、Au、Ag的含量则比Py I型黄铁矿明显偏高,分别为792.0×10-6、2125×10-6、1.67×10-6、0.29×10-6和190.7×10-6,且Bi、Co、Ni、V、Ti、Mg、Cr、Cd、Al、Mn等微量元素含量较Py I均明显偏高1~2个数量级。在综合分析黄铁矿的结构形态和微量元素组成特征的基础上,本文认为Py I可能形成于晚古生代海底热水沉积环境,Py II形成于中生代岩浆热液环境。新桥铜金硫多金属矿床的成矿作用包括了海西期同生沉积成矿作用和燕山期与岩浆活动有关的热液成矿作用。晚侏罗世-早白垩世广泛发育的强烈岩浆侵入及与之有关的热液活动,对矿床的最终形成起了主导作用,提供了Cu、Au等主要成矿物质。     

Microbial response to surface microtopography: the role of metabolism in localized mineral dissolution

We examine the role of microtopographical surface features on sulfide minerals in localizing and aligning bacterial adhesion. Experimental data shows strong correlation between bacterial cell alignment and principal crystallographic axes of pyrite (100 and 110). While bacteria often adhere to visible surface imperfections such as scratches, in many cases no associated surface features are visible. Additionally, the size of the surface imperfection does not unambiguously determine its effect in localizing and aligning bacterial cells. We theoretically model bacterial adhesion. We find that the depth of a surface feature such as a scratch is less important than its cross-sectional shape. Surface features that conform to the bacterial shape can strongly alter local bacterial adhesion energies, even with heights of only 10 nm. Hence, small local surface alterations due to bacterial metabolism could strongly affect local adhesion parameters, and may account for the observed bacterial distributions on mineral surfaces.
