Chemical aspects of iron oxide coagulation in water: Laboratory studies and implications for natural systems

Initial coagulation rates of colloidal hematite (-Fe₂O₃) particles (diameter less than 0.1 µm) were measured experimentally in well-defined laboratory systems at constant temperature. The relative stability ratio,W, was obtained at various ionic strengths in NaCl medium and at pH values in the range from 3 to 12. ExperimentalW values ranged from 1 to 10⁴ in various systems. The results delineate the roles ofspecific andgeneralized coagulation mechanisms for iron oxides. Among the specifically-interacting species (G _ads ⁰ >G _coul ⁰ ) studied were phosphate, monomeric organic acids of various structures, and polymeric organic acids. The critical coagulation-restabilization concentrations of specifically-interacting anions (from 10^–7 to 10^–4 molar) can be compared with the general effects of non-specific electrolyte coagulants (10^–3 to 10^–1 molar). The laboratory results are interpreted with the help of a Surface Complex Formation/Diffuse Layer Model (SCF/DLM) which describes variations of interfacial charge and potential resulting from variations of coagulating species in solution. Comparison of these laboratory experiments with observations on iron behavior in estuarine and lake waters aids in understanding iron removal mechanisms and coagulation time scales in natural systems.     

Tectonic evolution of lower crustal rocks in an exposed magmatic arc section in the Hidaka metamorphic belt, Hokkaido, northern Japan

Abstract : The Hidaka metamorphic belt consists of an island-arc assembly of lower to upper crustal rocks formed during early to middle Paleogene time and exhumed during middle Paleogene to Miocene time. The tectonic evolution of the belt is divided into four stages, D₀rs, D₁, D₂rs, and D₃, based on their characteristic deformation, metamorphism, and igneous activity. The premetamorphic and igneous stage (D₀) involves tectonic thickening of an uppermost Cretaceous and earliest Tertiary accretionary complex, including oceanic materials in the lower part of the complex. D₁ is the stage of prograde metamorphism with increasing temperatures at a constant pressure during an early phase, and with a slight decrease of pressure at the peak metamorphic phase, accompanying flattening of metamorphic rocks and intrusions of mafic to intermediate igneous rocks. At the peak, incipient partial melting of pelitic and psammitic gneisses took place in the amphibolite–granulite facies transition zone, the melt and residuals cutting the foliations formed by flattening. In the deep crust, large amounts of S-type tonalite magma formed by crustal anatexis, intruded into the granulite facies gneiss zone and also into the upper levels of the metamorphic sequence during the subsequent stage. During D₁ stage, mafic and intermediate magmas supplied and transported heat to form the arc-type crust and at the same time, the magmatic underplating caused extensional doming of the crust, giving rise to flattening and vertical uplifting of the crustal rocks. D₂ stage is characterized by subhorizontal top-to-the-south displacement and thrusting of lower to upper crustal rocks, forming a basal detachment surface (décollement) and duplex structures associated with intrusions of S-type tonalite. Deformation structures and textures of high-temperature mylonites formed along the décollement, as well as the duplex structures, show that the D₂ stage movement occurred under a N-S trending compressional tectonic regime. The depth of intra-crustal décollement in the Hidaka belt was defined by the effect of multiplication of two factors, the fraction of partial melt which increases downward, and the fluid flux which decreases downward. The crustal décollement, however, might have extended to the crust-mantle boundary and/or to the lithosphere and asthenosphere boundary. The subhorizontal movement was transitional to a dextral-reverse-slip (dextral transpression) movement accompanied by low-temperature mylonitization with retrograde metamorphism, the stage defined as D₃. The crustal rocks from the basal décollement to the upper were tilted eastward on the N–S axis and exhumed during the D₃ stage. During D₂ and D₃ stages, the intrusion of crustal acidic magmas enhanced the crustal deformation and exhumation in the compressional and subsequent transpressional tectonic regime.     

新疆北部镁铁-超镁铁质岩的PGE成矿问题

铂族元素(PGE)矿化主要与镁铁-超镁铁杂岩有关,成矿类型主要为岩浆型矿床,这类PGE矿床的形成主要依赖两个条件:一是岩浆中富含PGE;二是具备PGE从岩浆中分离和富集的机制,主要是在岩浆演化过程中硫达到饱和。新疆北部镁铁-超镁铁质杂岩发育,并产有喀拉通克、黄山、黄山东、图拉尔根4个大型铜镍矿床和香山、土墩、葫芦、白石泉等中、小型铜镍矿,以及香山西、尾亚等中型钒钛磁铁矿矿床,但迄今尚未发现成型的PGE矿床。文中通过对PGE矿床的形成机制与镁铁-超镁铁杂岩源区特征研究,探讨了北疆地区PGE矿床的成矿问题。综合分析认为,新疆北部后碰撞镁铁-超镁铁质岩的岩石类型为经过了分离结晶形成的铁质岩石系列,是PGE矿床的有利容矿岩石;矿床的Sr、Nd、Pb、O、Os和S同位素和含矿岩石地球化学特征表明,铜镍硫化物矿床含矿岩浆在岩浆演化和成矿过程中有地壳物质加入并可导致硫化物熔离作用,说明在成矿机制上也存在形成岩浆型PGE矿化的条件。新疆北部PGE矿化微弱的原因可能在于该区广泛发育的亏损型地幔源(具正的εNd值特征),这一亏损型地幔可能部分源于洋壳熔融,与产于后碰撞造山带环境、发育于洋壳或不成熟陆壳基底之上有关,由此决定了原始岩浆为贫PGE的源区,因此不利于PGE的富集成矿。

滇西澜沧变质带变质作用和变形作用的关系

滇西澜沧变质带经历了两期变质变形事件,其时代分别为５１９Ｍａ和２８０～１９０Ｍａ。早期变质变形事件（Ｍ１Ｄ１）可由销长石和石榴石变斑晶的包裹体痕迹确定,形成近Ｅ－Ｗ向的变形构造格局。晚期变质变形作用（Ｍ２Ｄ２）以形成蓝片岩相矿物组合,如以蓝门石（青铝门石）＋多硅白云母＋绿泥石＋石英等为特征,并形成近Ｎ－Ｓ向的变形构造格局．钠质问石以青铝闪石和蓝闪石为主,白云母多为３Ｔ＋２Ｍ;型多硅白云母,其ｂｏ均值在９．０４０Ａ以上;蓝片岩相变质作用的Ｐ、Ｔ条件估计分别为０．６～０．７ＧＰａ和３００℃。晚期变质变形事件经历了二个主要阶段（Ｍ２ａＤ２ａ和Ｍ２ｂＤ２ｂ）,分别伴随透入性面理（Ｓ２）和褶劈理（Ｓ３）的形成,蓝门石的４０Ａｒ－３９Ａｒ定年分别为２７９Ｍａ和２１４Ｍａ;Ｍ２ｃＤ２ｃ期局部受到热的扰动,以及出现大量的膝折带或宽缓褶皱。上述变质变形演化历史代表了澜沧变质带的隆升及剥蚀过程。

河北承德大庙铁矿床地质构造特征与找矿预测

大庙斜长岩杂岩体位于华北克拉通北缘,是我国唯一岩体型斜长岩杂岩体,赋存了丰富的Fe-Ti-P矿床.对该杂岩体的岩石学、矿床成因研究已经较为深入,但是矿田构造研究较为薄弱.本文主要从大庙矿床地质特征分析入手,通过控矿构造分析和成矿期构造应力场的恢复,结合成矿特征分析,建立大庙矿床找矿预测模型,开展找矿预测.在大庙杂岩体内,先后找到了大庙、黑山、马营和罗锅子沟等中—大型矿床,它们都具有典型的岩浆矿床特征,具有岩浆熔离、分异和贯入式成矿特征;系统的野外地质调查和翔实的构造解析表明,大庙杂岩体的侵位受控于EW向隆化-平泉和大庙-红石砬子的断裂构造,杂岩体内NE和NW向两组断裂构造控制了杂岩体内铁-铁磷矿带的发育,NS向断裂则主要为成矿后构造,往往错断了铁矿体.在黑山矿区,野外观测发现含矿苏长岩利用了固结斜长岩中发育的节理,呈脉状贯入,在节理交汇部位铁矿体变大变富;通过节理和矿脉走向的详细测量和吴氏网统计分析,推测大庙矿区成矿期含矿苏长岩的侵位受控于区域上近似NS向的挤压应力作用.根据大庙杂岩体的岩浆侵位时代、岩相-矿体的接触关系、控矿构造和成矿特征,复原了大庙杂岩体的成矿-构造演化过程:最早期区域构造活动控制了斜长岩的侵位,没有发生矿化;苏长岩的侵位,伴随发生了早期的结晶分凝式矿化;块状苏长岩的侵位导致了晚期的熔离-贯入式矿化的形成;成矿期后,大庙杂岩体还经历了多期次的构造变动、抬升和剥蚀.在此基础上,建立了大庙铁矿床的找矿预测模型,并系统分析了大庙矿田不同矿区的深部和外围的找矿潜力,认为黑山和大庙矿区的深部、黑山矿区东侧和北侧、大庙杂岩体的东部边缘可能被中生界覆盖的区域等地段都具有很好的找矿空间,大庙矿区铁矿资源潜力巨大.     

中国东南部晚中生代花岗质火山-侵入杂岩特征与成因

晚中生代期间,中国东南部岩浆活动十分强烈。 由内陆向沿海,花岗岩、火山岩的时代越来越新。花岗岩 与酸性、中酸性火山岩在成因上存在密切联系。在时间、空间和成岩物质来源一致的条件下 ,花岗岩可视为流纹岩、英安岩所构成的中心式火山机构的“根”,形成所谓的花岗质火山-侵入杂岩。中国东南部的花岗质火山-侵入杂岩可以区分为同熔型、陆壳重熔型和A 型三类,它们具有不同的构造环境、形成机制和物质来源。同熔型火山-侵入杂岩主要分布 于沿海,陆壳重熔型火山-侵入杂岩一般分布于内陆,而 A型花岗质火山-侵入杂岩主要受浙闽沿海长乐-南澳断裂带控制。 以桐庐和相山两个典型杂岩体为代表剖析了花岗质火山-侵入杂岩 体的时、空、源一致性,所揭示的规律对于认识整个中国东南部晚中生代花岗质火山-侵入 杂岩的成因具有普遍意义。     

东天山伊吾二叠纪花岗质杂岩体的锆石定年、地球化学及其构造意义

伊吾花岗质杂岩体主要由二长花岗岩和碱长花岗岩构成。锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年分析得到二长花岗岩和碱长花岗岩的侵位年龄分别为284.6±1.4Ma和284.0±1.1Ma。结合地质证据,此年龄表明该杂岩体形成于碰撞之后的二叠纪早期挤压-伸展转折阶段。岩石学、地球化学和同位素等方面的对比研究表明这两种岩石为同一岩浆演化的产物。与二长花岗岩相比,碱长花岗岩表现为硅、碱的含量较高,而铝的含量较低;富Th、U、Nb、Ta,贫Sr、P、Ti、Sm;DI和Rb/Sr升高,Nb/Ta和Zr/Hf下降,从二长花岗岩到碱长花岗岩表现出连续分异演化的趋势。计算得到二长花岗岩和碱长花岗岩的模式年龄(t_(DM))分别为693Ma和763Ma,ε_(Nd)(t)分别为+4.53和+4.64,(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i分别为0.703858和0.703855,表现出高ε_(Nd)(t)低(~(87)Sr/~(86)Sr)_i的特征。这些特征表明,伊吾岩体的岩浆来自新元古代时从亏损地幔分离出来的初生地壳源区。二长花岗岩岩浆是这种初生地壳岩浆演化的产物,而碱长花岗岩形成于二长花岗岩母岩浆经斜长石、磷灰石、钛铁氧化物、榍石、独居石、褐帘石和锆石等矿物分离结晶后的残留岩浆。
