电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法测定含刚玉的铝土矿中硅铝铁钛

铝土矿具有较强的化学稳定性,常含有少量刚玉,属于比较难处理的样品。常用的四酸溶解法对不含刚玉的铝土矿能取得较好的效果,但对高铝及含刚玉的样品分解不完全且无法同时测定硅。本文对含刚玉的铝土矿样品在镍坩埚中用氢氧化钠-过氧化钠熔融,盐酸酸化后用电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法同时测定硅铝铁钛四种元素。对氢氧化钠-过氧化钠的熔样效果、过氧化钠用量、熔样温度、共存离子的影响及基体干扰进行了试验,结果表明,加入3.0 g氢氧化钠和1.0 g过氧化钠在650~700℃保温10 min,能较好地熔解含少量刚玉的铝土矿样品。利用铝土矿标准物质制备标准溶液,可消除镍坩埚和熔融试剂产生的镍盐和钠盐基体对硅铝铁钛测定的干扰。方法检出限为0.0025%~0.063%,精密度小于4%。铝土矿国家标准物质的测定值与标准值相符,实际样品的测定值与其他分析方法的测定值相吻合。本方法样品分解完全,消解时间短,分析步骤简单,适用于高铝及含少量刚玉的铝土矿样品分析。     

电感耦合等离子体质谱法精确测定地质样品中的微量元素镓

应用电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)对地质样品中微量元素镓进行测试分析时,存在两方面问题:一是不同消解方法各有不足,密闭式消解不能批量处理样品,而敞开式消解过程繁杂;二是质谱测试时需要选择⁶⁹Ga还是⁷¹Ga,确定扣除哪些干扰和相应的扣除系数,这些因素使地质样品中镓元素的测试精度不高。本文基于一般地质样品中有机质含量低的特点,针对ICP-MS分析方法提出:①使用氢氟酸、盐酸、硝酸、高氯酸四种酸混合消解样品,采用半密闭式酸分解法,通过调整加热温度、用酸量、用酸比等加快反应进程,少量的有机质在强酸加热消解时能够反应完全,而不必要进行灰化处理;②采用丰度为39.9%的⁷¹Ga进行测试,使用经验系数0.005,利用⁵⁵Mn¹⁸O对⁷¹Ga位置扣除⁵⁵Mn¹⁶O的干扰。方法精密度在3%以内,方法检出限为0.06 μg/g。本方法简化了样品消解过程,并可批量处理样品,降低了分析成本,在准确测定镓元素的同时还能理想地测定其他微量元素和稀土元素。

样品用王水微波消解浸提,氢化物发生-原子荧光光谱法测定茶园土壤中痕量铅的含量。对样品浸取方法、实验条件、增感剂和共存元素进行了条件实验。结果表明,王水微波消解浸取,铅浸出量最大,减少了试剂用量和环境污染;铁氰化钾-盐酸羟胺体系有显著的增感作用,铁氰化钾在配制溶液时用米糠除去试剂中可能存在的铅,降低了空白;钴、锌、砷、镉等共存离子不干扰铅的测定,通过加入邻菲啰啉-硫氰酸钠消除铁和铜的干扰,提高了铅的回收率。方法检出限为0.65 μg/L,精密度(RSD,n=10)为1.89%,回收率在86.8%~110.4%之间。用土壤标准物质验证,测定值与标准值相符,方法快速准确,适合于大批量样品的分析检测。     

Fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) transport and processing in littoral interstices – use of fluorescent markers

A fluorescent labelling method is presented as a new tool for the investigation of organic particle transport and biogenic carbon cycling processes in sandy littoral interstices at Lake Tegel, Berlin, Germany. Passive particle transport through the pore system was studied by in situ exposition of 2.4 μm monodisperse polymeric resin microparticles stained with 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC). Uptake of fluorescein-5-isothiocyanate (FITC)-labelled Chlorella vulgaris and fine particulate organic matter (FPOM) by the interstitial fauna was investigated in laboratory and field experiments. The major portion (>85%) of the FITC-labelled particles added to sediment cores was recovered from the topmost centimetre of sediment during the study period of 14 days. Uptake of FITC-labelled FPOM was observed in several benthic groups, e.g. chironomids, microcrustaceans, oligochaetes and tardigrads, whereas C. vulgaris was ingested by oligochaetes only. There is evidence to suggest that both are suitable materials for investigating the fragmentation and ingestion of organic material by herbivorous and detritivorous fauna. Field experiments with inert microparticles and FITC-labelled FPOM (<1 mm) prepared from dried alder leaves were carried out in plexiglass tubes as in situ whole core technique. Within the investigation period of two weeks, the transport of FPOM was restricted to the topmost 2–3 cm of sediment in conjunction with a distinct fragmentation to finer size classes with respect to increasing sediment depth. Vertical FPOM transport was hindered by a high interstitial concentration of natural POM and an intensive settlement of the interstices by algae (mainly epispammic algae, 65–96% of algae cell number) and extra-cellular polymeric substances (EPS), which formed a dense three-dimensional structure.     

应用电感耦合等离子体质谱/光谱法研究上扬子区新华磷块岩稀土元素特征及沉积学意义

新华磷矿床是我国重要的富集稀土元素的沉积型含稀土磷块岩矿床,本文利用电感耦合等离子体质谱/光谱法(ICP-MS/AES),辅以岩矿鉴定等分析技术,结合沉积学理论研究了新华磷块岩稀土元素地球化学特征及相关问题。结果表明,新华磷块岩稀土总量(∑REEs)较高,集中值介于800×10-6~1200×10-6,其组成属轻稀土+钇型,稀土元素主要以类质同象形式存在于胶磷矿中;新华磷块岩和昆阳磷块岩具相似的REEs配分曲线和明显铈负异常,δCe介于0.28~0.36,表明上扬子区南缘成磷环境为氧化条件,且为稳定的滨浅海被动大陆边缘沉积环境;但新华磷块岩与其上覆黑色岩系REEs配分曲线迥异,后者表现出不明显的铈、铕异常,说明黑色岩系主要形成于深海-半深海静水还原环境,从梅树村期早期至晚期经历了海平面升高的过程,地层层序整体显示向上变深的沉积相变,磷块岩和黑色岩系之间的接触面可能为三级层序甚至更小层序级别的界面。这些沉积学的认识揭示了上扬子区下寒武统层序地层学意义和海相沉积环境特征,对华南早寒武世生命大爆发和层序地层学深入研究提供了证据。     

常用锂同位素地质标准物质的多接收器电感耦合等离子体质谱分析研究

锂同位素研究是非传统稳定同位素地球化学研究的前沿,已广泛应用于从地表到地幔的岩石圈及流体等固体地球科学的研究领域。准确测定锂同位素比值是应用该同位素体系的前提。本文报道了国际上7种常用地质标准物质(BHVO-2、JB-2、BCR-2、AGV-2、NKT-1、L-SVEC、IRMM-016)的锂同位素组成数据。分析中采用硝酸-氢氟酸混合酸消解岩石标准样品,通过3根阳离子交换树脂(AG50W-X8,200~400目)填充的聚丙烯交换柱和石英交换柱对锂进行分离富集,利用Neptune型多接收器电感耦合等离子体质谱(MC-ICPMS)测定锂同位素比值,使用标准-样品交叉法(SSB)校正仪器的质量分馏。实验得到这7种常用地质标准物质的锂同位素组成与测试精度(2SD)分别为:δ7LiBHVO-2—L-SVEC=4.7‰±1.0‰(n=53),δ7LiJB-2—L-SVEC=4.9‰±1.0‰(n=20),δ7LiBCR-2—L-SVEC=4.4‰±0.8‰(n=8),δ7LiAGV-2—L-SVEC=6.1‰±0.4‰(n=14),δ7LiNKT-1—L-SVEC=9.8‰±0.2‰(n=3),δ7LiL-SVEC—L-SVEC=-0.3‰±0.3‰(n=10),δ7LiIRMM-016—L-SVEC=0.0‰±0.5‰(n=10),这些数据在误差范围内与国际上已发表的数据一致。Li同位素分析精度可以达到大约0.5‰,长期的分析精度即外部重现性≤±1.0‰,达到了国际同类实验室水平。7种常用地质标准物质的锂同位素组成数据的发表为锂同位素研究提供了统一的标准,使地质样品的锂同位素数据的质量监控成为可能。在基质效应的研究中,使用不同量的IRMM-016配制的标准溶液过柱,深入探讨了样品量对锂同位素测定值的影响,结果表明,在现有测试精度下,只要分析样品的锂含量达到100μg/L,且不超过树脂的承载量,样品的锂同位素组成在误差范围内与真值吻合,样品量的大小不影响锂同位素测定结果的准确性。     

应用FTIR-XRD-XRF分析测试技术研究新型仿制绿松石的矿物学特征

近年来绿松石及其仿制品的鉴定工作较多局限于应用傅里叶变换红外光谱对仿制品进行简单的筛选,前人报道的仿制绿松石的矿物组成主要为单一的矿物相(如异极矿、三水铝石、磷铝石、羟硅硼钙石、菱镁矿等)。本文应用傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)、X射线粉晶衍射(XRD)与X射线荧光光谱(XRF)对当前珠宝市场上几种新型仿制绿松石进行了初步分类,并对不同类别的仿制绿松石的具体矿物组成、物相及晶型特征作了对比研究。结果表明,这些新型仿制绿松石可分为三大类:一类主要由硅酸盐(斜硅钙石)与碳酸盐(方解石)两种矿物组成;另一类为白云石与方解石两种碳酸盐矿物的混合相;第三类以硅酸盐类为主要矿物,并含有钡长石、辉石与石英。显然,新型仿制绿松石的矿物组成明显相异于传统仿制品,可见仿制绿松石的矿物组成日趋多样性、复杂化,该现状必然对新型仿制样品的物相鉴定提出了更高的要求。     

Geology and geochemistry of Iberian roofing slates

This article analyzes the geochemical and mineralogical composition of the roofing slate deposits of the Iberian Peninsula. Most roofing slate deposits are found on Middle and Upper Ordovician terrains, although there are also deposits in the Ediacaran, Cambrian and Devonian terrains. Samples of slate were taken in most of the active quarries of the Iberian Peninsula, and being analyzed by X-ray Diffraction and Fluorescence. Each lithotect or slate productive formation has its own specific proportions of major and trace elements, being able to differentiate between them by using these relationships. This fact is particularly interesting in geological exploration and prospecting, as it allows knowing exactly the slate lithotect, and also for restoration work in the architectural heritage, due to the ability of identifying the source of the original slate tiles.     

An Atomic Force Microscopy study of the growth of calcite in the presence of sodium sulfate

In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to compare the growth of pure calcite and the growth of calcite in the presence of sulfate ions from aqueous solutions at a constant value of supersaturation (S.I. = 0.89) with respect to calcite. The effect of sulfate ions on calcite growth rates is determined and a potential incorporation of sulfate ions is identified in the calcite during growth. Solutions supersaturated with respect to calcite with solution concentration ratio of one and a constant pH of 10.2, were prepared and sulfate was added as Na₂SO₄ aqueous solution. The solution composition was readjusted in order to keep the supersaturation and pH constant. PHREEQC was used to determine relevant solution concentrations. In situ AFM experiments of calcite growth were performed using a fluid cell and flowing solutions passed over a freshly cleaved calcite surface. Growth rates were determined from the closure of the rhombohedral etch pits induced by initial dissolution with pure water. The spreading rate of 2-dimensional nuclei was also measured. At low concentrations of sulfate (≤ 0.5 mM), no effect on the growth rate of the calcite was observed. At higher concentrations (2 to 3 mM) of sulfate, the growth rate increased, possibly because a higher concentration of calcium and carbonate was necessary to maintain the supersaturation constant. At much higher concentrations of additional sulfate (up to 60 mM) the growth rate of the calcite was substantially decreased, despite the fact that a further increase of calcium and carbonate was required. The morphology of 2-dimensional growth nuclei became increasingly elongated with increasing sulfate content. Measurements of step height showed that newly grown steps were approximately 1 Å higher when grown in high sulfate concentrations, compared to steps grown in sulfate-free solutions. At sulfate concentrations above 5 mM the growth mechanism changes from layer growth to surface roughening. These observations suggest that the new growth has incorporated sulfate into the calcite surface.
