Crystal chemistry of Fe-containing sphalerites

 Cell dimensions and solvus properties of Fe-containing sphalerites, depending on temperature and sulfur fugacity, were investigated using equilibrated powdered materials synthesized from elements and binary sulfides under vacuum. The Fe solvus in sphalerite, determined by optical microscopy and microprobe analysis, are directly correlated with increasing temperature and decreasing sulfur fugacity controlled by solid-state buffers. The increase of lattice parameters with Fe correlates with an increase of FeS independent of sulfur fugacity up to 10 mol% FeS within ZnS. Above about 10 mol% the lattice parameters are strongly depending on the sulfur fugacity controlled Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ ratios. The Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ ratios determined by Moessbauer spectroscopy and involving metal vacancies depend on the sulfur fugacity. The critical Fe²⁺ content determined by experimental simulations as well as the minimal Fe³⁺/ Fe²⁺ ratios agree with the required minimal Fe content for CuFeS₂-DIS in sphalerite. The critical Fe²⁺ content also agrees with the change of Moessbauer signal from a singlet to a doublet for Fe²⁺ containing sphalerite. Pyrrhotite exsolutions in sphalerite caused by higher sulfur fugacity show orientationally intergrown with the sphalerite matrix. Density data calculated from lattice parameters and composition are compared with experimental density measurements. Received: 25 April 2001 / Accepted: 14 February 2003     

个旧塘子凹锡多金属矿床微量元素地球化学特征

塘子凹矿床位于个旧老厂矿田的西北部，矿体按产出方式可分为接触带原生硫化矿和脉状氧化矿。本文着重从微量元素地球化学和矿物地球化学角度探讨了本区脉状氧化矿的成因问题，认为该区脉状氧化矿与接触带原生硫化矿具有同源性，而与围岩大理岩没有成因联系；在成矿后期，地表流体对脉状矿体中多种微量元素特别是V、As、Sb、Bi等有强烈的富集作用。     

水岩体系Eh-pH法及其在砂岩型铀矿体定位研究中的应用——以新疆伊犁盆地512铀矿床为例

512铀矿床不同氧化还原环境水岩体系Eh和pH值的研究结果表明：同一氧化还原环境的水岩体系Eh平均值极为接近；不同氧化还原环境的水岩体系Eh值差异明显，即从氧化带到还原带，水岩体系Eh值明显下降；不同氧化还原环境，其水岩体系pH值也有所不同，氧化带和还原带处于弱碱性介质环境，过渡带（矿化地段）处于中性介质环境；水岩体系Eh和pH值可以作为划分含矿层氧化还原环境分带及圈定铀矿体位置的依据。

Development of Cu and Zn Isotope MC-ICP-MS Measurements: Application to Suspended Particulate Matter and Sediments from the Scheldt Estuary

The present study evaluates several critical issues related to precision and accuracy of Cu and Zn isotopic measurements with application to estuarine particulate materials. Calibration of reference materials (such as the IRMM 3702 Zn) against the JMC Zn and NIST Cu reference materials were performed in wet and/or dry plasma modes (Aridus I and DSN‐100) on a Nu Plasma MC‐ICP‐MS. Different mass bias correction methods were compared. More than 100 analyses of certified reference materials suggested that the sample‐calibrator bracketing correction and the empirical external normalisation methods provide the most reliable corrections, with long term external precisions of 0.06 and 0.07‰ (2SD), respectively. Investigation of the effect of variable analyte to spike concentration ratios on Zn and Cu isotopic determinations indicated that the accuracy of Cu measurements in dry plasma is very sensitive to the relative Cu and Zn concentrations, with deviations of δ⁶⁵Cu from ?0.4‰ (Cu/Zn = 4) to +0.4‰ (Cu/Zn = 0.2). A quantitative assessment (with instrumental mass bias corrections) of spectral and non‐spectral interferences (Ti, Cr, Co, Fe, Ca, Mg, Na) was performed. Titanium and Cr were the most severe interfering constituents, contributing to inaccuracies of ?5.1‰ and +0.60‰ on δ^68/64Zn, respectively (for 500 μg l^?1 Cu and Zn standard solutions spiked with 1000 μg l^?1 of Ti or Cr). Preliminary isotopic results were obtained on contrasting sediment matrices from the Scheldt estuary. Significant isotopic fractionation of zinc (from 0.21‰ to 1.13‰ for δ⁶⁶Zn) and copper (from ?0.38‰ to 0.23‰ for δ⁶⁵Cu), suggest a control by physical mixing of continental and marine water masses, characterized by distinct Cu and Zn isotopic signatures. These results provide a stepping‐stone to further evaluate the use of Cu and Zn isotopes as biogeochemical tracers in estuarine environments.

Pb-Zn-Ag-bearing M anganoan Skarns of China

Manganoan skarns consist of special Mn (Ca, Mg, Fe, Al) silicate metasomatic minerals and are usually associated with Pb-Zn(Ag) mineralization. They occur chiefly along the lithologic contacts or faults and fractures of carbonate wall rocks distal from the intrusive contact zone, and are combined with Fe, Cu, W, Sn and Cu-bearing calcic or magnesian skarns occurring in the contact zones to constitute certain metasomatic zoning. Manganoan skarns are formed later than calcic or magnesian skarns. Their rock-forming temperatures are lower than those of calcic or magnesian skarns. The mineral assemblages of manganoan skarns occurring in different carbonate rocks (limestone or dolomite) are notably different.
