Fluid salinities obtained by infrared microthermometry of opaque minerals: Implications for ore deposit modeling — A note of caution

Infrared microthermometry of opaque minerals has revealed that temperatures of phase changes vary with the infrared light source intensity, resulting in an overestimate of fluid salinities and an underestimate of homogenization temperatures. Failing to recognize this analytical artifact during infrared microthermometry may result in meaningless geological models. A fluid inclusion investigation on enargite from a high-sulfidation epithermal deposit is used as an example to document this. Fluid salinities obtained during an early investigation ranged between 6.3 and 20.4 wt.% NaCl, which were interpreted as intense boiling or as evidence for the involvement of a magmatic brine during ore formation. Fluid inclusion salinities obtained with improved analytical settings, i.e. low light intensities, fall between 1.1 and 1.7 wt.% NaCl and are in better agreement with fluid salinities obtained in quartz from similar deposits, and recent modeling suggesting vapor transport of Au and Cu from deep porphyry-Cu environments to shallower high-sulfidation epithermal deposits.

大气降水热液成矿——西秦岭某硅、灰、泥岩型铀矿床成矿模式探讨

西秦岭某硅、灰、泥岩型层控铀矿床是在矿源层(中志留统)的基础上,由地下水热液渗滤改造而成。铀的工业富集发生在矿源层褶皱成陆之后,成矿高峰则发生在中、新生代交替时期。成矿溶液是受大气降水补给的地下水热液;成矿物质主要来自矿源层本身。矿源层长期遭受地下水热液作用,溶液中大量的铀酰离子形成稳定的碳酸铀酰络合物,并被运移至岩性和构造的圈闭部位,通过吸附和共沉淀等作用富集,或通过还原、水解和过饱和沉淀等作用形成沥青铀矿或再生铀黑。该层控铀矿床的整个成矿过程具有典型的逐级增量特点,属于塔式累积成矿的基本模式,后生富集是成矿的关键。     

缅北中部脉金矿带控矿因素及成矿作用浅析

缅北中部，印缅岛弧及弧后盆地东侧、新生代造山带的前缘推覆构造带中，分布有许多脉金矿床及矿点，构成金矿带。矿带、矿田、矿床及矿体的形成、分布及其规模，受不同级别的近南北向逆冲断裂，及其间派生的北东向张性扩容断裂组成的剪切断裂带控制。可渗透的下麦尔组下部中一粗粒砂岩，起着很好的容矿作用。下麦尔组上部泥岩、细砂岩、粉砂岩和页岩互层单元，在携金热液的迁移、氧化硅的沉淀和矿质沉积定位等方面，可能起到圈闭作用。     

Upgrading of calcareous phosphate ores by flotation: Effect of ore characteristics

Sedimentary phosphates contain-besides the phosphate minerals-, various associated gangue minerals such as: clays, silica, calcareous minerals (mainly calcite and dolomite), carbonaceous matter, iron oxides and/or pyrite. The common practiced flow-sheets for concentrating these types of phosphate ores consist of a combination of various mineral processing units such as: crushing and screening, attrition, washing, magnetic separation, and/or flotation. However, none of these combinations was successfully efficient to upgrade the calcareous ores because of the close similarity of the physical properties (density, particle size, particle shape, etc.) as well as the surface physico-chemical properties of the carbonate and phosphate minerals. For the last five decades extensive efforts have been spent to adopt flotation for separating carbonates from phosphate ores. These efforts include thermodynamic analysis, modification of the technique, controlling the pulp environment, and finding new reagents that can specifically differentiate between carbonates and phosphates.This paper reviews some of the published work on the separation of carbonates from phosphate ores by flotation and presents the flotation results of phosphate ore samples different in their physical properties and mineralogical composition. The results obtained reflect the effect of ore nature on the flotation performance and the reagents consumption.
