碳酸盐岩常用主微量元素、同位素分析测试结果差异性探讨: 基于川中下寒武统龙王庙组实例研究*

碳酸盐岩研究中存在多种微量元素、同位素测试方法,为进一步探究各测试手段实际获取地化信息之间是否存在差异?能否进行比对?以川中下寒武统龙王庙组碳酸盐岩样品为例,通过对比研究中常用的主微量元素测试(电子探针[EPMA]、激光剥蚀—等离子质谱[LA-ICP-MS]、溶液法微量[ICP-OES])、氧同位素测定(原位离子探针[in-situ SIMS]、酸溶粉末)结果,揭示讨论各测试结果的差异性,旨在为降低地化信息的多解性提供经验依据。研究发现: (1)各测试手段(EPMA、LA-ICP-MS、ICP-OES)之间的差异性客观存在,但测试结果偏差整体随着所测元素实际浓度的增高而降低。对于主量元素(>10%)各测试结果偏差小于2%;富集元素(>1000 μg/g)各测试结果处于测试误差之内,结果偏差小于6%;微量元素浓度区间(100~1000 μg/g)各测试结果偏差显著增大,并且LA-ICP-MS与ICP-OES结果偏差要小于LA-ICP-MS与EPMA结果偏差,前者偏差幅度由6%增至45%,后者偏差幅度由9.1%增至151%;在低于100 μg/g元素浓度区间,受矿物内非均质性影响LA-ICP-MS与ICP-OES的测试结果可相差几倍。(2)微区原位限定下,EPMA测试结果在邻近检测线区间(100~300 μg/g)与LA-ICP-MS结果偏差逐渐加大,推测此偏差变化是由EPMA结果矫正过程中对低含量元素的矫正补偿机制所造成。(3)in-situ SIMS氧同位素值揭示了矿物微区尺度上的 δ¹⁸O 值差异,但其整体测试结果与传统酸溶法测试的结果存在0.5‰~2.5‰ V-PDB的负偏偏差,推测此偏差可能来自于标样矫正转换误差。(4)实例样品中可见阴极发光特征与Fe、Mn含量无关的现象,故成岩流体判定更需结合岩石学、地化证据探讨。     

Unraveling one billion years of geological evolution of the southeastern Amazonia Craton from detrital zircon analyses

Despite representing one of the largest cratons on Earth, the early geological evolution of the Amazonia Craton remains poorly known due to relatively poor exposure and because younger metamorphic and tectonic events have obscured initial information. In this study, we investigated the sedimentary archives of the Carajás Basin to unravel the early geological evolution of the southeastern Amazonia Craton. The Carajás Basin contains sedimentary rocks that were deposited throughout a long period spanning more than one billion years from the Mesoarchean to the Paleoproterozoic. The oldest archives preserved in this basin consist of a few ca. 3.6 Ga detrital zircon grains showing that the geological roots of the Amazonia Craton were already formed by the Eoarchean. During the Paleoarchean or the early Mesoarchean (<3.1 Ga), the Carajás Basin was large and rigid enough to sustain the formation and preservation of the Rio Novo Group greenstone belt. Later, during the Neoarchean, at ca. 2.7 Ga, the southeastern Amazonia Craton witnessed the emplacement of the Parauapebas Large Igneous Province (LIP) that probably covered a large part of the craton and was associated with the deposition of some of the world largest iron formations. The emplacement of this LIP immediately preceded a period of continental extension that formed a rift infilled first by iron formations followed by terrigenous sediments. This major change of sedimentary regime might have been controlled by the regional tectonic evolution of the Amazonia Craton and its emergence above sea-level. During the Paleoproterozoic, at ca. 2.1 Ga, the Rio Fresco Group, consisting of terrigenous sediments from the interior of the Amazonia Craton, was deposited in the Carajás Basin. At that time, the Amazonian lithosphere could have either underwent thermal subsidence forming a large intracratonic basin or could have been deformed by long wavelength flexures that induced the formation of basins and swells throughout the craton under the influence of the growing Transamazonian mountain belt.

Development of land use transitions research in China

With the introduction of the concept of land use transition into China, related researches have been carried out extensively in the past two decades, which enrich the knowledge of land system science. This paper describes the development of research on land use transitions in China from the perspectives of conceptual connotations, theoretical model, research methods, and research progress and prospects. With the in-depth investigation of land use transitions, the concept and connotations of land use morphology are developed and encapsulated as two kinds, i.e., dominant morphology and recessive morphology. The dominant morphology refers to the land use structure of a certain region over a certain period of time, with features such as the quantity and spatial pattern of land use types. While the recessive morphology includes the land use features in the aspects of quality, property rights, management mode, input, output and function. Accordingly, the concept of land use transition is further developed, and the theoretical model of regional land use transitions is established. Thereafter, three innovative integrated approaches to study land use transitions are put forward, i.e., multidisciplinary research framework for recessive land use transition, transect and horizontal comparison. To date, there have been 62 Ph.D. and 166 M.S. dissertations on the topic of "land use transition" in China. During 2002–2019, the National Natural Science Foundation of China has funded 48 research programs on the theme of "land use transition". As such, the Chinese scholars have adapted the concept derived from western literature to the situations and experiences in China.     

Physical and numerical investigation of a cemented granular assembly of steel spheres

In this paper, steel spheres embedded in a cement matrix were studied using numerical and physical ISRM testing procedures. A challenge in discrete element simulations is to select appropriate micro‐mechanical models and parameters, to recover the observed macro‐mechanical behavior. An ideal experiment on cohesive granular assemblies constructed identical to numerical ones would validate these micro models for a set of measured micro‐parameters. The first part of the paper summarizes the previous studies in this area, outlines such experimental methodology and depicts the steps followed for the preparation and the testing of cemented granular assemblies together with the derivation of micro‐parameters. The second part discusses the results of numerical and physical ISRM standard tests including uniaxial and triaxial compression, Brazilian tensile and shear box tests. Physical samples were prepared using steel balls bonded with Portland cement, cured under controlled laboratory conditions and tested in compression, tension and shearing. Acoustic emissions were monitored in uniaxial tests to characterize the damage thresholds relative to volumetric strains. Numerical simulations were conducted with PFC 3D using micro‐mechanical parameters derived from physical testing. Parametric sensitivity studies were carried out to look into the dependency of macroscopic responses on the parameters. The results from both numerical and physical tests showed good correspondence in macroscopic behavior i.e. peak strength, stages of damage, mode of failures. However, the numerical simulations reflected a stiffer mechanical response than physical assemblies. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
