利用热液金刚石压腔开展扎布耶石（碳酸锂）结晶实验的研究

花岗伟晶岩一般赋存了大量富晶体包裹体,扎布耶石(碳酸锂)是锂辉石中富晶体包裹体内的主要矿物之一,因此,扎布耶石的形成机制和温压条件对富晶体包裹体的捕获条件有重要的指示意义。本文通过热液金刚石压腔(HDAC)开展Li_2CO_3-H_2O体系的结晶实验,9组实验结果表明,扎布耶石的成核温度是550(±30)℃,大约在温度降低15℃后,晶体停止快速生长,而后缓慢生长直至在400(±50)℃完全停止生长。扎布耶石的生长主要集中在550~400℃,而与压力影响不大,处于锂辉石的稳定温度范围内,这佐证了富晶体包裹体中的扎布耶石可以是捕获流体直接结晶形成的晶体。扎布耶石开始结晶后经历了快速生长,导致包裹体内部压力降低,这可能是富晶体包裹体内存在方石英的原因之一。     

The Itataia phosphate-uranium deposit (Ceará, Brazil) new petrographic,geochemistry and isotope studies

The Itataia phosphate-uranium deposit is located in Santa Quitéria, in central Ceará State, northeastern Brazil. Mineralization has occurred in different stages and involves quartz leaching (episyenitization), brecciation and microcrystalline phase formation of concretionary apatite. The last constitutes the main mineral of Itatiaia uranium ore, namely collophane. Collophanite ore occurs in massive bodies, lenses, breccia zones, veins or episyenite in marble layers, calc-silicate rocks and gneisses of the Itataia Group.There are two accepted theories on the origin of the earliest mineralization phase of Itataia ore: syngenetic (primary) – where the ore is derived from a continental source and then deposited in marine and coastal environments; and epigenetic (secondary) – whereby the fluids are of magmatic, metamorphic and meteoric origin. The characterization of pre- or post-deformational mineralization is controversial, since the features of the ore are interpreted as deformation.This investigation conducted isotopic studies and chemical analyses of minerals in marbles and calc-silicate rocks of the Alcantil and Barrigas Formations (Itataia Group), as well as petrographic and structural studies. Analysis of the thin sections shows at least three phosphate mineral phases associated with uranium mineralizaton: (1) A prismatic fluorapatite phase associated with chess-board albite, arfvedsonite and ferro-eckermannite; (2) a second fluorapatite phase with fibrous radial or colloform habits that replaces calcium carbonate in marble, especially along fractures, with minerals such as quartz, chlorite and zeolite also identified in calc-silicate rocks; and (3) an younger phosphate phase of botryoidal apatite (fluorapatite and hydroxyapatite) related with clay minerals and probably others calcium and aluminum phosphates. Detailed isotopic analysis carried out perpendicularly to the mineralized levels and veins in the marble revealed significant variation in isotopic ratios. Mineralized zones exhibit a decrease in δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O isotope values and a higher ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio toward the center of the vein. In conjunction with petrographic studies, these changes contesting the hypothesis of a sedimentary origin for uranium and suggest a radiogenic Sr input by alkaline to peralkaline fluids from fertile granites of the end of Brasiliano/Pan-African orogeny, located outside the deposit. The origin of the phosphorous is associated with phosphorite deposits in the same depositional environment of the neoproterozoic supracrustal quartz-pelite-carbonate sediments of the Itataia Group.Considering the studies conducted here and available geological data, three main mineralizing events can be identified in Itataia: (1) an initial high temperature event connected with a sodium metasomatism-related uranium episode, taking place in Borborema Province and its African counterpart; (2) a second lower temperature stage, consisting of a multiphase cataclastic/hydrothermal event limited to fault and paleokarst zones; and (3) a third and final event, developed in frankly oxidizing conditions. The last two involving mixing of hydrothermal and meteoric fluids.

Episodic mineralization of hydrothermal illite in the Soultz-sous-Forêts granite (Upper Rhine Graben, France)

Episodic and localized illite mineralization is documented in the hydrothermally altered Soultz-sous-Forêts granite (Upper Rhine Graben, France). Separated grain-size fractions of altered granite and argillite vein samples contain mixtures of 2M₁ and 1M trans-vacant illite varieties. The platy pseudohexagonal 2M₁ illite phases dominate the vein fillings, whereas the 1M illite occurs largely as a fibrous pore-filling variety, which is particularly abundant in the granite matrix. Multiple phases of fluid injections into the granite body have resulted in different illite assemblages, each sample containing a mixture of polytype generations formed during different crystal growth events. On the basis of mineralogical and K–Ar isotopic constraints, the ages of these vein-mineralizing events are determined by plotting the K–Ar values of the various grain-size fractions against polytype abundance and the fitted volume-weighted crystallite thickness distributions. The results suggest a Permian age for the formation of the studied argillite veins, characterized by successive injections of hydrothermal fluids. Secondary episodes of illite crystallization occurred during Jurassic and Cretaceous (or even younger times) in both the veins and the granite matrix. There are indications that the polytype structure and composition of illite were strongly influenced by variations in fluid chemistry and the degree of fluid–rock interaction as the granite was progressively sealed during post-Variscan, episodic hydrothermal activity.     

Alteration, HFSE mineralisation and hydrocarbon formation in peralkaline igneous systems: Insights from the Strange Lake Pluton, Canada

Two characteristics of peralkaline igneous rocks that are poorly understood are the extreme enrichment in HFSE, notably Zr, Nb, Y and REE, and the occurrence of fluid inclusions dominated by methane and higher hydrocarbons. Although much of the HFSE enrichment can be explained by magmatic processes, the common intense alteration of the parts of the peralkaline intrusions most enriched in these elements suggests that hydrothermal processes also play an important role in HFSE enrichment. Likewise, although the origin of the higher order hydrocarbons that occur as inclusions in these rocks is still debated, there is strong evidence that at least in some cases their formation involved hydrothermal processes. The issues of HFSE enrichment and hydrocarbon formation in peralkaline intrusions are examined using data from the Strange Lake pluton, a small, middle-Proterozoic intrusion of peralkaline granite in northeast Canada. This pluton contains some of the highest concentrations of Zr, REE and Y ever reported in an igneous body, and is characterised by abundant hydrocarbon-dominated fluid inclusions in rocks that have been hydrothermally altered, including those that form a potential HFSE ore zone. We show that HFSE at Strange Lake were partly concentrated to near exploitable levels as a result of their transport in a high salinity magmatic aqueous liquid, and that this fluid coexisted immiscibly with a carbonic phase which reacted with hydrogen and iron oxides generated during the associated hydrothermal alteration to produce hydrocarbons via a Fischer–Tropsch synthesis. As a result, hydrocarbons and HFSE mineralization are intimately associated. We then go on to show that hydrothermal alteration, HFSE mineralisation and hydrocarbons are also spatially associated in other peralkaline complexes, and present a model to explain this association, which we believe may be applicable to any peralkaline intrusion where HFSE enrichment was accompanied by calcium metasomatism, hematisation and hydrothermal fluorite. We also suggest that, even where these criteria are not satisfied, hydrothermally enriched HFSE and hydrocarbons will be intimately associated simply because they are products of the same initial magmatic fluid. Finally, we speculate that the association of HFSE and hydrocarbons may in some cases actually be genetic, if, as seems possible, unmixing or effervescence of a reduced carbonic fluid from the original magmatic fluid caused changes in temperature, pH, fO₂ or the activity of volatile ligands sufficient to induce the deposition of HFSE minerals.
