Size-fractionated uranium isotopes in surface waters in the Jiulong Estuary in China

Surface water was collected from the Jiulong Estuary for determination of activity concentrations of uranium isotopes in different size fractions, namely, greater than 53, 10 -53, 2 - 10, 0.4 -2 μm, 10 000 u -0.4 μm and less than 10 000 u fractions by microfihration and cross-flow uhrafiltration technologies. Results indicated that most of the dissolved uranium （ 〈 0.4 μm） exis- ted in the low molecular mass fraction （ 〈 10 000 u）, and the colloidal uranium-238 （10 000 u -0.4 μm） only contributed less than 1% of the dissolved uranium-238. The fractions of colloidal uranium in the dissolved phases decreased with the increasing sa- linity. A positive linear relationship between uranium-238 activities and salinities was observed for the dissolved, colloidal and low molecular mass fractions, indicating a conservative behavior of uranium in the Jiulong Estuary. In the particulate phases （ 〉 0.4 μm）, the partitioning of uranium isotopes among different size fractions was controlled by the partitioning of particle concentrations. In the regions with salinities below 20, the partitioning of uranium-238 among different size fractions was as follows： 10 - 53 μm 〉 2 - 10 μm 〉 0.4 - 2 μm greater than above 53 μm. However, the order at the offshore station with salinities above 30 changed as follows ： 0.4 - 2 μm 〉 10 - 53 μm 〉 2 - 10 μm greater than above 53 μm. The fraction of the 0.4 - 2 μm particles increased at the offshore station, suggesting the increased contribution of the authigenic uranium. The activity ratio of uranium-234 to uranium-238 in the dissolved phases, including the low molecular mass fraction and the colloidal fraction, was larger than unity, showing the occurrence of excess uranium-234. In contrast, the activity ratio of uranium-234 to uranium-238 in all size fractions of the particulate phase was close to the equilibrium value （1.0）. The observed different values of the activity ratio of uranium-234 to uranium-238 in the dissolved phase and the partic     

The investigation on particulate organic carbon fluxes with disequilibria between thorium-234 and uranium-238 in the Prydz Bay, the Southern Ocean

Dissolved and particulate thorium-234, particulate organic carbon in the upper 150 m of water columns from five stations in the Prydz Bay, the Southern Ocean were determined during the 22nd Chinese National Antarctic Research Expedition （from November 2005 to March 2006 ）. The disequilibria between thorium-234 and its parent uranium-238 in upper layer was used to derive the averaged residence time of thorium-234, which decreased along with the latitude to the south and a minimum value, 1 - 8 d for particulate thorium-234 and 29 - 48 d for dissolved thorium-234, appeared at the medium latitude station, and the export fluxes of thorium-234 were calculated too and ＇a maximum value, 0. 35 -0. 63 Bq/（m^3 · d） for the particulate thorium-234 and 0. 44 -0. 65 Bq/ （m^3 ·d） for the dissolved thorium-234, appeared at the same station. The export fluxes of particulate organic carbon at different water columns were derived by two methods with irreversible scavenging model, and the averaged values were 104. 7 mmol/ （ m2 · d ） （ E method） and 120. 6 mmol/（ m2·d ） （ B method ）, respectively, indicating that a relatively high new production would exist in summer in the Prydz Bay where it will play a potential significant role in sequestering the absorption CO2 to deeper ocean.     

浅成磷钙土中的铀

磷钙土被广泛用于生产肥料的原料或直接用作肥料。对它的研究非常深入,包括分析微量元素组分。发现沉积岩中微量元素的一般分面规律和从磷钙土的实际农业化学应用观点出发是很重要的,因为在其组分中的部分微量元素是微量肥料,而部分（例如铀）则在生态上是危险的。磷钙土是获得铀的重要矿石,美国大部分铀正是从磷钙土中获取的。     

甘肃省207铀矿及富铀岩体特征研究

207铀矿体呈透镜状、扁豆状、似脉状成群出现。赋矿围岩为前长系龙首山群黑云斜长片麻岩和黑云片岩,该类岩石比区域上同类岩石铀含量高,平均U含量为2.36×10-6～4.83×10-6,与伟晶状白岗岩之间的混染带是铀矿赋存的有利空间。铀矿化产于中条期形态不规则的伟晶状白岗岩岩株中,该岩体铀丰度较高,钍/铀低,活性铀多,副矿物少,富碱。富铀伟晶状白岗岩岩体副矿物以黄铁矿为主,总量较低,微量元素含量不高。是至今在甘肃西部及邻区花岗岩岩体中唯一见到稍多晶质铀矿的岩体,也是至今在甘肃西部及邻区花岗岩岩体中铀丰度最高,Th∕U最低的岩体。富矿岩石伟晶状白岗岩在成岩过程时也发生成矿作用,属成岩同期成矿。     

潮水盆地西部构造演化与铀成矿作用研究

潮水盆地为中国北方重要的古生代-中新生代叠合盆地,也是中国重要的产煤-油-铀盆地之一。盆地经历了中侏罗世伸展断陷,晚侏罗世挤压抬升阶段;早白垩世拉分断陷,晚白垩世全面抬升阶段;中新世全面沉降,上新世抬升剥蚀阶段。盆地西部铀成矿整体表现为同沉积预富集、叠加后生氧化改造的成矿特点。通过构造演化与铀成矿作用关系的研究,结合相关资料,分析认为大红山断陷主要找矿目的层为下白垩统庙沟组,断陷南缘强烈抬升区是泥岩型或砂岩型铀成矿的有利区域;跃进山凸起长期处于抬升淋滤状态,是层间氧化带砂岩型铀成矿的有利部位;南部凹陷带长期处于沉降断陷状态,主要形成泥岩型、膏结岩型铀矿化。

台湾海峡西岸闽江口和九龙江口沉积物中碎屑锆石铀-铅定年及物源意义

碎屑锆石能较好保存源区岩石组成的信息,其铀-铅年龄是沉积物源区示踪有效的方法。利用激光剥蚀等离子体质谱和多接收器等离子体质谱联机(LA-MC-ICPMS)技术,对台湾海峡西部闽江口和九龙江口沉积物中的碎屑锆石进行原位铀-铅测年,同时获得锆石的微量元素。研究表明大部分碎屑锆石的钍与铀含量之比值大于0.1,稀土元素球粒陨石标准化配分曲线呈左倾型,并具有明显的铈含量正异常和铕含量负异常,结合阴极发光图像表明这些锆石绝大部分为岩浆成因。闽江口和九龙江口的碎屑锆石具有相同的印支期(峰值为236 Ma)、燕山早期(峰值为155 Ma)和燕山晚期(峰值为110 Ma)等3个峰值,这三期碎屑锆石占主要部分,反映闽江口和九龙江口碎屑沉积物主要来自各流域上游印支期和中下游燕山期岩体,而闽江口碎屑锆石具有明显的加里东期峰(峰值为465 Ma)和前寒武纪(553~2 765 Ma)较多的碎屑锆石,这些碎屑物质可能来自上游武夷山地区加里东期和前寒武纪基底的物质。对比闽江口碎屑锆石铀-铅年龄与台湾岛西部海滨沙滩(苗栗-新竹、嘉义-台南)中的独居石年龄具有相似的谱峰特征,表明台湾岛西部海滨沙滩碎屑物质可能有部分来自闽江。闽江口碎屑物质明显区别于福建的九龙江和浙江的瓯江,这为判别台湾海峡沉积物的物质来源提供可靠的依据。
