Migration-circulation processes and enrichment-mineralization mechanism of lithium-beryllium elements in the continental crust.SCIEI北大核心CSCD

锂铍金属是世界关键金属资源,矿床类型多样,成矿作用发生在大陆地壳。但大陆地壳中锂铍元素的迁移-循环规律及不同锂铍矿床间的成因联系尚不清楚。本文系统地总结与梳理了大陆地壳结构与物质循环特征和不同类型锂铍金属矿床间的成因联系,提出大陆地壳锂铍循环-成矿系统的概念与模型,并将大陆地壳锂铍的迁移与循环划分为四个过程:变质过程、深熔过程、花岗岩浆过程、花岗质岩浆岩风化、淋滤与蚀变的浅-表生过程。沉积岩中锂铍元素在变质过程中可富集到一些变质矿物中,一些富锂铍黏土矿物也在变质过程转变成新的富锂铍变质矿物(如绿泥石、云母与堇青石);地壳深熔过程使得锂铍元素从变质矿物中释放出来并聚集在花岗岩浆中,麻粒岩相深熔(如黑云母脱水熔融与堇青石分解熔融)可能是锂铍大规模成矿的主要熔融方式;绝大多数锂铍矿床与花岗岩浆及其岩浆岩有关,是花岗岩浆与花岗质岩浆岩在不同演化阶段与不同方式富集成矿的结果;浅-表生过程对锂铍花岗岩-伟晶岩和流纹岩与流纹质凝灰岩的物理化学改造,可形成盐湖卤水型锂矿床、黏土型锂矿床以及各种次生锂铍矿床。变质过程中锂铍的迁移与富集机制,大型-超大型花岗岩-伟晶岩型锂铍矿床形成条件与关键控制因素等问题,是亟待研究与思考的科学问题。

新桥矿床是长江中下游成矿带铜陵矿集区内典型的大型层控矽卡岩型铜金硫多金属矿床。矿床成矿过程中除了铜、金、铁、硫等主要成矿元素富集成矿以外,钴、硒、碲等关键金属元素也以伴生形式产生了不同程度的富集。前人对新桥矿床开展了大量研究工作,但对矿床中关键金属钴、硒、碲的分布规律、赋存状态和富集机制等方面系统研究尚未开展。本次研究在新桥矿床系统采集距离成矿岩体不同位置的两条代表性剖面(3804、E601)的岩矿石样品,通过光学显微镜观察、扫描电子显微镜、全岩主微量元素化学分析和矿物原位LA-ICP-MS微量成分测试等分析技术方法,查明了矿床中钴、硒、碲等关键金属的空间分布规律和赋存状态,初步探讨了钴、硒、碲的富集机制。新桥矿床中估算伴生Co、Se、Te资源量分别为:2326t、2590t、1463t,达到大-中型规模。近成矿(热)中心3804剖面Co、Se含量自矿体底板→顶板呈逐渐降低的趋势,Te含量变化没有明显规律,Co、Se、Te均主要在黄铁矿矿石中产生富集;远成矿(热)中心E601剖面上Co、Se、Te含量自矿体底板→顶板均呈逐渐降低的趋势,且主要富集高品位黄铁矿矿石中。矿体走向上自成矿(热)中心→远端,Co含量明显降低,Se、Te含量相对增高。矿床中Co、Se主要以类质同象置换的形式赋存于黄铁矿中,Te的赋存状态以独立碲矿物为主,包括辉碲铋矿和碲银矿。Co主要在石英-硫化物阶段产生富集,成矿流体温度较高,流体中Co大部分随黄铁矿沉淀富集于近成矿(热)中心的黄铁矿矿石中,至碳酸盐-硫化物阶段,成矿流体温度降低,流体中Se、Te大部分沉淀富集于远成矿(热)中心的高品位黄铁矿矿石中,其中Se主要随黄铁矿大量沉淀富集,Te较少进入黄铁矿等硫化物中,主要以独立矿物的形式产出。     

Study on indium occurrence state and enrichment patterns in the Xianghualing Sn-Pb-Zn orefield in southern HunanSCIEI北大核心CSCD

In作为一种分散元素,通常极难形成独立矿床,而主要以伴生组分的形式赋存在锡多金属矿床中。香花岭矿田蕴藏着丰富的Sn、Pb、Zn等矿产资源,是我国潜在的In资源基地,但目前该矿田中In的赋存状态、分布规律及成矿潜力尚不清楚。鉴于此,本文以香花岭矿田3个典型锡多金属矿床(新风、铁砂坪、茶山)为研究对象,在野外地质及矿相学观察的基础上,采用ICP-MS、EPMA和LA-ICP-MS开展了全岩地球化学和闪锌矿元素地球化学研究。结果表明,In主要以类质同象的形式富集在闪锌矿中,可能的替代方式为In^(3+)+Cu^(+)2←→Zn^(2+)。不同矿床中In的富集程度明显不同,其中,新风最富In(平均品位213.7g/t),其次为茶山,而铁砂坪最贫In。发现当闪锌矿中Cd含量介于5000×10^(-6)~7000×10^(-6)区间时,对应的In含量最高(>1000×10^(-6))。3个矿床的闪锌矿均富集Fe、Mn、In等高温元素,显著亏损Ga和Ge等低温元素。通过对比发现,这些闪锌矿与典型中高温岩浆-热液矿床(如远端矽卡岩型矿床)中闪锌矿的元素地球化学特征相似,应用闪锌矿地质温度计估算的结晶温度为345~372℃,且新风闪锌矿温度略高。闪锌矿中In的含量主要受温度控制,越靠近岩体、温度越高的闪锌矿越富In。结合前人资料,估算香花岭矿田伴生In资源量超过15000t,潜在经济价值巨大,应予以回收利用。     

Distribution characteristics and differential enrichment mechanism of rhenium in molybdenite in the Dexing copper ore fieldSCIEI北大核心CSCD

世界上绝大部分Re赋存在斑岩型矿床的辉钼矿之中,且分布极不均匀。在矿床-矿石-矿物颗粒等不同尺度上,Re含量均存在较大差异,但造成这些差异的因素目前尚不清楚。本文以德兴矿田中富家坞和铜厂二个矿床的辉钼矿为研究对象,在细致的矿相学研究的基础上,对其开展了EPMA、LA-ICP-MS和XRD分析,同时结合前人研究资料,详细探讨了Re在这两个矿床辉钼矿中的分布规律及差异性富集机制。结果显示:富家坞和铜厂均普遍发育两种形态的辉钼矿(细粒集合体型和粗粒片状型),Re在两种辉钼矿中的分布均极为不均,但细粒集合体型相对更富Re,而同一形态辉钼矿铜厂矿床则具有更高的Re含量;同一矿床中辉钼矿结晶越晚,往往越富集Re;个别辉钼矿可见扭结现象,且扭结部位的Re含量更低,暗示后期构造变形可能导致了Re的丢失;两个矿床高Re辉钼矿和低Re辉钼矿的结构均为2H多型,表明Re含量与辉钼矿晶体结构无关。结合前人资料,本文认为成矿流体性质(如温度、盐度等)是导致铜厂和富家坞辉钼矿Re含量差异的主要因素。     

Measurement of Mass-Independent Perturbations of Cadmium in Nuclear Debris Samples

The isotopic composition of cadmium in nuclear debris was measured by multi-collector inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS). Mass-independent perturbations due to fission product decay on the isotopes of Cd were observed. Relative fission yields for masses 111, 112, 114 and 116 were determined in each sample of nuclear debris and compared with reported values found in irradiated plutonium and uranium fuels. Mass spectrometry measurements of the valley fission product endpoints are extremely challenging due to the low cumulative fission yields and small amounts of each isotope that are produced. To overcome these challenges, a new purification method for Cd was developed and validated by examination of a number of geological reference materials.     

Assessment of the historical trace metal contamination of sediments in the Elizabeth River, Virginia

Two sediment cores (Southern Branch, PC-1, and Western Branch, WB-2) were taken from the highly industrialized Elizabeth River, Virginia. The concentrations of trace metals cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, nickel, lead and zinc, major elements iron, manganese and aluminum, organic carbon content and the specific surface area of the sediments were determined in each of the cores. Down-core variations in metals varied significantly in each core with maximum contamination events occurring at different times in different portions of the river. In PC-1, maximum metal concentrations were seen after the appearance of (137)Cs. In contrast, the highest levels in WB-2 occurred well before the appearance of (137)Cs. Although stricter environmental regulations have caused a decrease in metal concentrations since the 1980s, the concentrations in the surface sediments of many trace metals were elevated to levels 2-5 times higher than the levels at the bottom of the cores in both the Southern and Western Branches of the river.     

Bioaccumulation and enantiomeric profiling of organochlorine pesticides and persistent organic pollutants in the killer whale (Orcinus orca) from British and Irish waters

Concentrations and enantiomeric profiles for a range of organochlorine compounds are reported in blubber samples from a number of individual killer whales (Orcinus orca) from British and Irish waters. Elevated contaminant levels and enriched isotopic ratios were determined in one individual whale sampled in the Scottish Western Isles compared to the others suggesting marine mammal based dietary influences. The potential application of isotopic ratios to model contaminant uptake, enantioselective enrichment and accumulation is demonstrated. Data are presented which provide information on enantioselective enrichment factors (EFs) for o,p'-DDT, alpha-HCH and toxaphene congeners CHB26 and CHB 50. This dataset further improves the current database on reported levels of a number of contaminants and provides additional background information on potential metabolic processes in killer whales from British and Irish waters.     

Chemical characteristics of wet precipitation at an urban site of Guangzhou, South China

The pH variation and chemical characteristics of rainwater were investigated from January 2006 to December 2006 at an urban site of Guangzhou, South China. The rainwater was typically acidic with a volume-weighted mean pH value of 4.49, which ranged from 3.52 to 6.28. The volume-weighted mean equivalent concentration of components followed the order: SO₄²⁻ > Ca²⁺ > Cl⁻ > NH₄⁺ > Na⁺ > NO₃⁻ > K⁺ > Mg²⁺ > F⁻, indicating that SO₄²⁻, Cl⁻ and NO₃⁻ were the main anions, while Ca²⁺ and NH₄⁺, were the main cations. Ca²⁺ and NH₄⁺ were major neutralization constituents of the precipitation. Furthermore, correlation analysis and principal component analysis method were performed to identify possible common sources of major ions. Sources of the major ions were assessed based on enrichment factor method.     

Correction factors for estimating suspended sediment export from loess catchments

This study focuses on problems related to estimating the exact exported suspended sediment quantity and quality from flow‐proportional samples taken at a fixed height at the outlet of a small, agricultural catchment in central Belgium. First, a correction factor is introduced to estimate the real suspended sediment concentration. This factor depends on the stream depth and the grain size distribution of the sediment and is necessary because of the presence of a concentration gradient in the stream. Secondly, water depth is corrected for the sediment volume, and thirdly, the grain size distribution of the exported sediment is corrected. The application of these correction factors leads to a reduction of the estimated total sediment export by 18 per cent (from 4810 Mg over a period of three years to 3930 Mg). Furthermore, the importance of small grain size fractions increases, leading to higher enrichment ratios for the clay fraction and lower ratios for the sand fraction. Suspended sediment export is thus more selective than was previously thought. Due to the overestimation of the sediment export, total phosphorus losses from the catchment are also overestimated by 17 per cent. This paper therefore emphasizes that point sampling of suspended sediment is biased and that a method should be incorporated to correct the sediment export in terms of quantity and quality.

Laboratory Studies of the Hydrogen Kinetic Isotope Effects (KIES) of the Reaction of Non-Methane Hydrocarbons with the OH Radical in the Gas Phase

The hydrogen kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) of the reactions of 15 non-methane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) with the OH radical were measured at 298 ± 2 K. The measurements were made using NMHCs without artificial isotopic labeling or enrichment. The following average hydrogen KIE values, in per mil (), were obtained: 29.8 ± 2.1 (toluene),51.6 ± 2.1 (n-butane), 97.3± 12.5 (i-butane), 63.2 ± 5.9 (cyclopentane), 10.5 (p-xylene), 26.8 ± 3.5 (ethylbenzene), 65.9± 7.0 (n-pentane), 79.5 ± 9.6 (cyclohexane), 52.8 ± 5.0(n-hexane), 38.9 ± 7.8 (n-heptane), 33.4 ± 3.1 (n-octane), 29.6 ± 1.6(n-nonane), and 29.0 ± 5.3 (n-decane). The KIEs for reactions of two alkenes (cyclohexene and 1-heptene) could not be determined accurately due to interference from reaction with ozone, but nevertheless the results clearly show that the KIEs for reaction of alkenes with OH are significantly lower than those for saturated hydrocarbons. The KIEs for reaction of alkanes are smaller than isotope effects reported in literature for the reactions of NMHCs artificially labeled with deuterium. The main reason for this difference is the reduced probability for reaction at a labeled site for compounds with close to natural deuterium abundance, although some impact of secondary isotope effects cannot be ruled out. Still, the KIEs for NMHCs with natural or close to natural abundance of deuterium are of sufficient magnitude to allow determination of the extent of chemical processing of hydrocarbons in the atmosphere using methods analogous to stable carbon KIE studies. Furthermore, it is shown that combining stable hydrogen and stable carbon isotope ratio data has the potential to also provide valuable information regarding the stable isotope ratios of emissions, and specifically to test one of the key assumptions of the stable isotope hydrocarbon clock, the absence of significant variations of the stable isotope ratio for the emitted NMHCs.
