Determination of Bromine and Iodine in Twenty-three Geochemical Reference Materials by ICP-MS

Trace amounts (from nanogram to microgram levels) of bromine and iodine were determined by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) in twenty-three geochemical reference materials issued by the GSJ, USGS, IAEA etc. The pyrohydrolysis technique was used to separate bromine and iodine from samples analysed in the form of powder. The accuracy and precision of the experimental values were assessed by the comparative analysis of well established reference materials such as USGS AGV-1, BCR-1 and IGGE GBW07312. The measured values agreed well with reported values within a 10% error range. We also report reliable new data for these elements in these geochemical reference materials.

General absorbing boundary conditions for dynamic analysis of fluid-saturated porous media

General absorbing boundary conditions based on Biot's two-phase mixture theory and paraxial approximation is presented for the dynamic analysis of fluid-saturated porous media with isotropic, transverse isotropic, and anisotropic properties. For the last two cases, the equivalent Lame's constants, under conditions of uniqueness, are introduced to facilitate the analytical solutions. The numerical results show that the proposed absorbing boundary can greatly suppress spuriously reflected waves and efficiently model the far field of the system with sufficient accuracy.     

Determination of the Platinum-Group Elements and Gold in Twenty Rock Reference Materials by Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) after Pre-Concentration by Nickel Sulfide Fire Assay

The platinum-group elements (PGE) and gold have been determined in twenty international rock reference materials by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) after pre-concentration by a nickel sulfide fire assay. It was possible to achieve determination limits for a 50 g sample that ranged from 1 pg g^-1 (Rh) to 23 pg g^-1 (Au). Compared to published certified and recommended values for rock reference materials, the trueness of the method was found to be good. However, in some cases we observed large deviations for all elements in the sub 10 ng g^-1 range within individual reference sample splits. Our results show that the PGE and Au are inhomogeneously distributed in the reference materials analysed here, where they are present in low concentrations, using 50 g test portions.     

A note on permeability changes in geologic material due to stress

Summary Stress produces framatic changes in fluid permeability of geologic materials. An increase of nearly threefold occurred in granite at high stress, an increase of 20 percent in sandstone, and a hundredfold decrease in compacted sand. Permeability of sand and sandstone did not follow the effective stress law. Flow along joints was very sensitive to effected stress changes, a fourfold change being caused by as little as 1.0 MPa.     

Multiscale approach to geo‐composite cellular structures subjected to rock impacts

Geo‐composite cellular structures are an efficient technological solution for various applications in civil engineering. This type of structure is particularly well adapted to resisting rockfalls and can act as a defensive structure. However, the design of such structures is for the most part empirically based; this lack of research‐based design stagnates optimization and advanced development. In this paper, the mechanical behaviour of a geo‐composite cellular structure is investigated using a multi‐scale approach, from the individual cell made up of an assembly of rocky particles contained in a wire netting cage to the entire structure composed of a regular array of cells. Based on discrete modelling of both the cell and structure scales, a computational tool has been developed for design purposes. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

铜锡复合成矿研究进展与展望

铜与锡具有不同的地球化学性质,然而铜锡共生或复合成矿现象在世界主要铜、锡成矿带中比较常见,如中国的右江、南岭(湘南)、大兴安岭南段(内蒙东部)、葡萄牙伊比利亚、秘鲁安第斯、英格兰德文郡、德国厄尔士山、日本西南、俄罗斯远东、加拿大新不伦瑞克等成矿带均为铜锡复合矿床的集中产区。铜锡复合矿床主要为岩浆热液矿床,以矽卡岩型、脉状矿床为主,兼有火山热液沉积型、斑岩型及云英岩型等。铜矿体的主要矿石矿物为黄铜矿,兼有斑铜矿、黝铜矿、辉铜矿等;锡矿体的主要矿石矿物为锡石,兼有黝锡矿。铜锡复合矿床的成矿物质来源(尤其是铜、锡成矿元素的来源是否具有一致性)尚有不少争议,锡普遍被认为是岩浆来源,而铜的来源具有多样性。成矿流体演化过程中的氧化还原环境的改变及流体的混合是导致铜锡复合成矿的主要原因。目前对于铜锡复合成矿的研究,主要是从矿床的年代学、单矿物(黄铜矿、锡石)微量元素及传统同位素地球化学、流体包裹体等方面入手,但对厘定铜锡复合成矿过程的作用有限。铜锡复合矿床的成因及勘查模型的建立具有重要的理论价值及现实意义。本文提出未来研究可以从多种非传统稳定同位素(例如Cu、Sn、W、Zn同位素)的联合示踪探索、成...
