Combined Separation of Cu,Fe and Zn from Rock Matrices and Improved Analytical Protocols for Stable Isotope Determination

Isotope ratios of heavy elements vary on the 1/10000 level in high temperature materials, providing a fingerprint of the processes behind their origin. Ensuring that the measured isotope ratio is precise and accurate depends on employing an efficient chemical purification technique and optimised analytical protocols. Exploiting the disparate speciation of Cu, Fe and Zn in HCl and HNO₃, an anion exchange chromatography procedure using AG1‐×8 (200–400 mesh) and 0.4 × 7 cm Teflon columns was developed to separate them from each other and matrix elements in felsic rocks, basalts, peridotites and meteorites. It required only one pass through the resin to produce a quantitative and pure isolate, minimising preparation time, reagent consumption and total analytical blanks. A ThermoFinnigan Neptune Plus MC‐ICP‐MS with calibrator‐sample bracketing and an external element spike was used to correct for mass bias. Nickel was the external element in Cu and Fe measurements, while Cu corrected Zn isotopes. These corrections were made assuming that the mass bias for the spike and analyte element was identical, and it is shown that this did not introduce any artificial bias. Measurement reproducibilities were ± 0.03‰, ± 0.04‰ and ± 0.06‰ (2s) for δ⁵⁷Fe, δ⁶⁵Cu and δ⁶⁶Zn, respectively.     

胶州湾水生系统中Pb、Zn 的分布特征及其在生物体中的浓缩

利用在胶州湾采集的47组同站位多介质样品,进行了痕量金属Pb、Zn及其它环境因子的化学成分测试,讨论了胶州湾水-沉积物-生物系统中Pb、Zn的生物地球化学总体特征及其在各介质平面上的分布,揭示了胶州湾水-沉积物-生物系统对陆源物质输入的响应.垂向上表层沉积物是Pb、Zn组分的富集带,该系统中的生物相对于其所处水环境具有显著的富集作用,生物体中Pb、Zn生物浓缩系数分别为36、935;横向上,Pb、Zn在底层水和沉积物介质中的分布主要受控于河口,即高值区分布于胶州湾的各个主要河口区,特别是在沉积物中金属组分浓度的高值区主要集中分布于胶州湾的东部.而孔隙水中Pb、Zn的高值主要分布于水交替较弱的海域,如红岛前缘.但生物体中的痕量金属组分化学场空间分布规律与上述各介质的化学场均不吻合,亦即是生物体中痕量金属组分的浓度与其所处环境中的同名金属组分浓度无关.作者认为,生物对痕量金属组分的富集并不简单地取决于它所处环境介质中同名金属组分的总量,而存在形态上的选择性.通过回归分析揭示了孔隙水对生物体中Pb、Zn的富集贡献较大.

柬埔寨王国磅通省三丹县金矿成矿地质条件分析

柬埔寨王国磅通省三丹县地区的整体地质工作程度较低,对该地区已有金矿床（点）成矿地质条件的研究对于该区域金矿勘查具有重要意义。本文详细阐述了三丹县金矿床（化）的成矿地质要素,并与IRGS型金矿进行了对比研究,认为陆缘弧和弧后克拉通盆地接触部位的大地构造背景和钙碱性区域岩浆岩条件,为区内金矿化提供了有利的区域地质条件,这与典型IRGS型金矿床具有相似的构造背景。调查区内的金矿体（矿化）常发育在侵入岩及其边缘地带,在空间分布上金矿化与侵入岩关系密切,且围岩常具石英-碳酸盐-绢云母化围岩蚀变组合,金矿石以网脉状和角砾状类型为主,这符合IRGS型金矿的矿化特征。初步认为区域内金矿化与侵入岩关系密切,属于IRGS型金矿。     

SHRIMP U–Pb ages of zircons from the Lengshuikeng ore field,North Wuyi Mountains,South China: Implications for dating volcaniclastic rocks

The Lengshuikeng Ag‐Pb‐Zn ore field is located in the North Wuyi Mesozoic volcanic belt south of the Qinzhou–Hangzhou suture zone between the Yangtze and Cathaysia paleo‐plates. Previous zircon U–Pb geochronological studies on ignimbrites and tuffs from this area have yielded conflicting ages of 157–161 Ma (Early Upper Jurassic) and 137–144 Ma (Early Lower Cretaceous). Volcanic rocks in the ore field have even been proposed to include both ages. Our SHRIMP zircon U–Pb dating of the ignimbrite and tuff samples from the ore field, along with field observations and results from geochronological work on other volcanic and sub‐volcanic rocks in the region, shows that two populations of magmatic zircons, one autocrystic and the other xenocrystic, are present in the pyroclastic rocks. The autocrystic zircons have ages suggesting formation/eruption at approximately 140 Ma, whereas the xenocrystic zircons give ages of 155–159 Ma, indicating intrusion of granitic porphyries in the Early Upper Jurassic. Therefore, the pyroclastic rocks in the Lengshuikeng Ag–Pb–Zn ore field formed in the Early Lower Cretaceous. The youngest zircon U–Pb ages from pyroclastic rocks may not represent the formation/eruption ages of the host rock, depending most likely on the existence and/or abundance of juvenile or vitric pyroclasts in the rocks.
