Geochemical constraints on the origin of Mesozoic alkaline intrusive complexes from the North China Craton and tectonic implications

Mesozoic alkaline intrusive complexes are widespread in the southern portion of the North China Craton and can provide some important constraints on the evolution of the Mesozoic lithosphere beneath the region. Three selected intrusive complexes (Tongshi, Hongshan, and Longbaoshan) are generally high in alkalis (K₂O+Na₂O=913 wt.%) and Al₂O₃ (1421.6 wt.%) and low in CaO and TiO₂ (<0.6 wt.%), with high and variable SiO₂ contents. Rocks from these complexes are all enriched in LREE and LILE (Cs, Rb, Ba, U, Th), depleted in Nb and Ti, have a highly positive Pb anomaly, and are characterized by lack of a clear Eu anomaly despite trace element abundances and isotopic ratios that vary greatly between complexes. The Tongshi complex has high Cs (2.68.5 ppm) and REE abundances (∑REE=112.6297 ppm, (La/Yb)_N=13.130.9) and MORB-like Sr–Nd–Pb isotopic ratios ((⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i<0.704; ε_Nd>0; (²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb)_i>18). The Hongshan complex has low REE concentrations (∑REE=28.2118.7 ppm, (La/Yb)_N=4.614.7) and is moderately enriched as demonstrated by their Sr–Nd isotopic ratios ((⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i>0.706; ε_Nd<−7). The Longbaoshan complex is extremely REE enriched (∑REE=211.3392.6 ppm, (La/Yb)_N=32.460.9) and has an EM2-like Sr–Nd isotopic character ((⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr)_i>0.7078; ε_Nd<−11). We suggest that the Tongshi complex originated from the asthenosphere and the Hongshan complex and the Longbaoshan complex were derived from the partial melting of previously subduction-modified lithospheric mantle, in response to post-collisional lithospheric extension and asthenospheric upwelling. The occurrence of these alkaline intrusive complexes demonstrates that the lithosphere beneath the region must have been considerably thinned at the time of intrusion of these complexes. This study also shed light on the temporal evolution of the Mesozoic lithosphere and the timing of the lithospheric thinning.     

影响地浸采铀的矿层渗透因素

通常认为砂岩型铀矿含矿层的渗透性是地浸开采技术是否可行的重要条件。因此,研究地浸采铀的可行性和提高砂岩型铀矿含矿层渗透性成为重点。系统探讨了影响砂岩型铀矿含矿层渗透性的主要因素,即：碳酸盐、黏土矿物、夹层、隔层、地下水矿化度等。这为进一步研究砂岩渗透性提供了依据,同时对地浸采铀的浸出率和资源回收率也有着重要的理论意义和实际价值。     

金活动态提取ICP-MS法测定王家坪金矿床深穿透地球化学样品中的金

金属活动态测量方法是寻找隐伏矿的有效手段之一，但在方法应用过程中发现不同地球化学景观条件下金元素的有效活动态类型不尽相同，并且提取过程中固液比、温度、时间等条件会对活动态提取数据产生较大影响。为了探讨金元素活动态选择性提取及方法在秦岭地区的指示效果等问题，本文利用电感耦合等离子体质谱（ICP-MS）分析技术对秦岭地区王家坪金矿床金元素活动态提取的不同实验条件及不同粒级样品进行对比研究，确定了针对金元素水提取态、黏土吸附态、有机结合态和铁锰氧化物结合态的最佳提取条件为：固液比1：5，提取时间24h，提取温度35℃，采样粒级为-80目。金元素四个相态的方法检出限分别为：水提取态0.03ng/g，黏土吸附态0.03ng/g，有机结合态0.04ng/g，铁锰氧化物结合态0.05ng/g，精密度（RSD）为7.25%～9.02%。该方法应用于王家坪金矿床23线，经分析金元素各形态平均含量为：水提取态0.19×10^-9，黏土吸附态0.30×10^-9，有机结合态11.16×10^-9，铁锰氧化物结合态0.20×10^-9，其中有机结合态为矿区土壤中金元素赋存的主要活动相态，金的有机结合态异常与隐伏金矿体位置一致。
