铝土矿中锂同位素分离提纯方法的建立

铝土矿是极端风化作用的产物,也是锂的重要载体,由于其资源量巨大,对铝土矿中锂的富集机制和分布规律的研究将有利于找矿预测。锂同位素的高效准确分析是深入认识矿物中锂的富集机制和分布规律的基础。铝土矿样品由于化学稳定性较强,溶样过程较为复杂,且Al、Na、Ca、K等基体元素含量远高于锂,给锂的纯化增加不少难度。本文采用内径5mm、柱长190mm的聚四氟乙烯离子交换柱和AG50W-X12阳离子交换树脂,以0.5mol/L硝酸为淋洗液淋洗34mL,收集最后的12mL,即可完成对铝土矿中锂的完全纯化回收。该纯化方法减少了淋洗液的使用量,提高了实验效率。采用该方法对国际标样L-SVEC、RGM-2、GSP-2进行锂的纯化,通过多接收电感耦合等离子体质谱仪(MC-ICP-MS)测试锂同位素组成,得到的δ~7Li测试值分别为-0.26‰±0.09‰(2SD,n=3)、3.19‰±0.37‰(2SD,n=3)、-0.78‰±0.22‰(2SD,n=3),与前人报道一致,验证了该方法的可靠性。此外,采用本方案对铝土矿国家标样(GBW07182)进行锂的纯化,δ~7Li测定值为10.16‰±0.21‰(2SD,n=3)。     

华北克拉通岩石圈地幔的锂同位素特征与熔体改造作用

华北克拉通是显生宙以来全球古老克拉通破坏最为剧烈的地区。华北克拉通破坏及其相关的科学问题引起了国内外地质学家的广泛关注。有关华北克拉通破坏的研究已取得了许多重要进展,使我们认识到其破坏不仅表现为岩石圈厚度的剧烈减薄,更重要的是岩石圈地幔的物质组成与性质发生了巨大转变,即从古生代克拉通型转变为新生代大洋型。本文在综述华北地幔捕虏体锂同位素地球化学特征的基础上,进一步揭示了华北岩石圈地幔高度不均一的组成特征,以及不同来源的熔体对岩石圈地幔的改造作用,为深入认识华北岩石圈地幔的转变过程提供进一步的制约。     

中瑞合作利用“许氏法”开发盐湖卤水中锂资源

自 70年代以来 ,利用传统方法在青海进行的盐湖卤水提锂未见成效。利用“许氏法”(“蒸发泵原理”及“原地化学反应池法”)对青海察尔汗盐湖的高镁含锂老卤进行室内及野外提锂试验 ,均获得成功。不但富集了锂卤水 (LiCl含量自 0 .72 1 2 g/L富集至 45 .1 8g/L) ,而且还得到了大量的副产品水氯镁石 (MgCl2 ·6H2 O) ,同时查明Br、I、B、Rb、Sr、Cs等微量元素赋存在锂卤水中。“许氏法”不但成本低、效益高、方法可行、工艺合理 ,而且保护了盐湖区的生态环境 ,实为一种值得推广的盐湖卤水提锂的加工工艺     

Automated Analyte Separation by Ion Chromatography Using a Cobot Applied to Geological Reference Materials for Li Isotope Composition

The demand for large and reliable data sets on isotopic composition has increased in geochemistry and environmental sciences over recent years. We present an automated ion chromatographic separation method using a robotic pipetting arm, termed ‘ChemCobOne’, to reduce sample separation time. Its performance was tested for lithium isotope separation in geological reference materials using a single‐step separation with HCl (0.2 mol l^?1) and a 2 ml resin volume. This refined lithium purification method does not forfeit precision, accuracy or purity compared with manual sample processing. In addition, a δ⁷Li value for NASS‐6 of 30.99 ± 0.50‰ (2s) (95% CI = 0.14‰, n = 44) was determined and the first δ⁷Li values for the granite rock reference material GS‐N (?0.57 ± 0.25‰ (2s), 95% CI = 0.15‰, n = 15), and for the soil reference material NIST SRM 2709a (?0.37 ± 0.67‰ (2s), 95% CI = 0.15‰, n = 63) are proposed.     

灼烧处理对纤蛇纹石反应活性的影响

    使用可循环的NH4Cl 溶液作为中间媒介获取Mg2+用于CO2 矿物封存是一种新兴工艺,但是纤蛇纹石在NH4Cl 溶液中较 低的Mg2+浸出率却是这项工艺发展的瓶颈。针对这一问题,本文采用灼烧处理对纤蛇纹石进行改性。结果表明, 灼烧处理 可以有效改变纤蛇纹石中Mg2+反应活性。在600℃灼烧后,所得产物与NH4Cl 反应的转化率达到55.64%,比灼烧前提高了 约43%。600℃灼烧处理脱除了纤蛇纹石外羟基,增大了矿物的反应表面积和具反应活性的Mg2+的量,促进了其与NH4Cl 的 反应 ;脱除内羟基后,具反应活性Mg2+减少,与NH4Cl 反应的转化率降低。     

Separation and Precise Measurement of Lithium Isotopes in Three Reference Materials Using Multi Collector‐Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

Lithium separation technique for three reference materials has been established together with precise determination of lithium isotope using a Neptune multi collector-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS). The solutions of lithium element standard reference materials, potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium and iron single element, were used to evaluate analytical methods applied. Three separate stages of ion-exchange chromatography were carried out using organic cation-exchange resin (AG 50W-X8). Lithium was enriched for the three stages using different eluants, which are 2.8 M HCl, 0.15 M HCl and 0.5 M HCl in 30% ethanol, respectively. The columns for the first and second stages are made of polypropylene, and those for the third stage are made of quartz. Total reagent volume for the entire chemical process was 35 mL for three reference materials. The recovery yielded for the three stages is 98.9–101.2% with an average of 100.0%, 97.6–101.9% with an average of 99.9%, and 99.8–103.3% with an average of 100.6%, respectively. The precision of this technique is conservatively estimated to be ±0.72–1.04‰ (2σ population), which is similar to the precision obtained by different authors in different laboratories with MC-ICP-MS. The δ7Li values (7Li/6Li relative to the IRMM-016 standard) determined for andesite (AGV-2) and basalt (BHVO-2) are 5.68‰ (n=18), 4.33‰ (n=18), respectively. The δ7Li value (7Li/6Li relative to the L-SVEC standard) determined for IRMM-016 is –0.01‰ (n=15). All these analytical results are in good agreement with those previously reported. In addition, the results for the same kinds of samples analyzed at the MLR Key Laboratory of Metallogeny and Mineral Assessment, Institute of Mineral Resources, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, are consistent with those obtained at the Plasma Laboratory, University of Maryland, within analytical uncertainty. According to these experiment results, it is concluded that this proposed procedure is a suitable method for determining the lithium isotopic composition of natural samples.

片麻岩穹隆是造山折返过程形成的重要构造样式。马尔康锂矿床位于松潘-甘孜造山带腹地的马尔康片麻岩穹隆中,其核部为太阳河花岗闪长岩和可尔因花岗岩、幔部由经过变质作用的晚三叠世深海—半深海复理石和浊积岩组成,大量含锂伟晶岩脉侵位于红柱石-十字石变质带中。通过野外地质调查和构造分析,在马尔康片麻岩穹隆中识别出三期构造变形叠加于造山早期大规模收缩变形之上:第一期变形(D1)为南向的大型高温拆离剪切带(马尔康拆离断层,MRKD);第二期变形(D2)为马尔康"穹隆构造";第三期变形(D3)为后期叠加的新生代近东西向逆冲断层。新的锆石U-Pb年代学数据表明太阳河和可尔因岩体的结晶年龄分别为226～212 Ma与224～218 Ma,马尔康拆离断层中平行剪切面理的同构造变形伟晶岩脉形成于约212～207 Ma,而未变形含锂伟晶岩脉则形成于200～190 Ma之间。研究表明,马尔康片麻岩穹隆在造山早期伴随220～212 Ma的花岗岩侵位,形成中低压巴罗式变质作用;在挤压向伸展转换过程(212～207 Ma)中,形成向南剪切的拆离断层以及变质核杂岩构造,致使花岗岩浆底辟上涌和片麻岩穹隆的形成;200～190...     

Observations on a solar saltworks near Burgas, Bulgaria

Data on biota and nutrients in solar ponds of a saltworks near Burgas, Bulgaria, were obtained. Surveys of the biota were undertaken, and records from management officials gave information on biological and physical conditions related to salt production. The decrease in the quality and quantity of sodium chloride harvested that began 10 to 15 years before the study, may be related to the high levels of plankton, combined nitrogen and phosphate, and the large accretion of bottom sediments and density of benthic communities. Biological management can improve the quality and quantity of the sodium chloride produced by the saltworks.
