Spectroscopic Study of Natural Diamonds in China

It has become clear in recent years that the important substitutional impurities in diamond are nitrogen,hydrogen and boron(Bibby,D.M.,1982).The physical and chemical properties of diamond are determined by the content and form of occurence of nitrogen based on which diamonds are generally classified.The well-known experiments concerning the mutual transformation of the forms the origin of diamond.by Evans.T.Et al.(1982) have provided a theoretic basis for the origin of diamond.Since 1979,spectroscopic investigation of natural diamonds from different areas in china has been carried out using UV-visible and IR spectrophotometer,EPR and cathodoluminescence techniques.We have conducted the classification of natural cathodoluminescence techniques.We have conducted the classification of natural diamonds in China and studies on the forms of nitrogen and hydrogen,the radiation damage and their geological implications.Spectroscopic characteristics of natural diamonds in china and their geological implications are discussed in this paper.     

Distribution of Hydrogen and Oxygen Isotopes in Salt Lakes of the Qinghai—Xizang Plateau,China

The Qinghai-Xizang Plateau is an area where a large number of salt lakes are distributed. We have collected several hundred samples of natural waters over the Plateau since 1976 and carried out researches on their hydrogen and oxygen isotopes. The results indicate that the^δD and δ¹⁸O values of the salt lake waters over the Plateau range from −64.1 to +12.4‰ and from −11.19 to +8.62‰, respectively. From the different types of surfaces, ground and lake waters of various salinities it is inferred that the compositions of H and O isotopes in the initial water of Qinghai Lake are^δD=−55.0‰ and {ie336-1}; and those in the original water from the lakes in northern Xizang, are^δD=−116.0‰ and {ie336-2}. Brines in the salt lakes are derived from rain water through prolonged circulation. Oilfield water also makes some contribution to the salt lakes in the Qaidam Basin. Similar slopes of evaporation lines of water isotopes are noticed for the Qinghai Lake area and northern Xizang. This is attributed to the evolution of the isotopes in these water bodies in an environment of middle latitude and high elevation.     

热水活动对碳酸盐沉积物中δ^13C,δ^18O的影响：以晚泥盆世丹池盆地为例

大量地质地球化学证据表明,晚泥盆世丹池盆地內有热水活动。热水活动使盆地内的碳酸盐沉积物发生了准同生硅化作用,淋虑溶蚀作用及广泛准同生重结晶作用。与一般灰岩受热重结晶作用中δ~(13)C值的变化相反,在准同生重结晶灰岩中,方解石的结晶程度愈高,则δ~(13)C值反而愈大。我们认为这是碳酸盐不饱和的热水溶液对碳酸盐沉积物中轻碳同位素(~(12)C)优先淋滤的结果。     

同位素地球化学方法与地震研究及地震预报

通过在地震活动区对有关地质体的K—Ar、Ar—Ar、FT、TL、~(14)C、ESR、U系等同位素年代学、地下水及其释放气体的D/H、~(13)C/~(12)C、~(18)O/~(16)O等稳定同位素以及He、Ar等稀有气体同位素的研究,可获得有关新构造运动的时间序列、断层运动的时间、地质体热历史以及地下断层流体运动的许多重要信息。因而,同位素地球化学已逐渐在研究地震成因机制以及监测预报地震中发挥重要作用。     

石英一水一盐体系氧同位素分馏作用

温度为180—550℃,盐度(wt.％)分别为0、5、25和40条件下,在高压釜内完成了由硅胶合成石英的氧同位素分馏作用实验研究,目的是了解:①盐同位素效应;②△t值对同位素分馏的影响;③温度与同位素分馏系数的关系。研究资料表明:低温条件下矿物和纯水之间同位素平衡作用不可能发生;影响含氧矿物(初)之间氧同位素平衡速率的因素包括盐度、△t值大小和温度等;我们的研究还表明,盐度对同位素分馏作用同系数无影响,即不存在所谓的“同位素盐效应”。在180—550℃温度范围内,不同盐度条件下获得的石英-水氧同位素分馏实验方程为:10001nα_(石英-水)=3.306×10~5T~(-2)—2.71。
