铈硼硅石的微量化学分析法

铈硼硅石是一种罕见的稀土矿物,由于它含有某些化学性质近似的元素,故分析难度较大。本文研究了应用纸色层法和离子选择性电极法对铈硼硅石中某些主要成分和微成分的分离和测定条件,设计了较合理的铈硼硅石微量全分析流程。该流程也适合类似矿物的分析,与常法比较,本法具有快速、准确、成本低和用样少等优点。     

宁夏中卫长流水剖面沉积物中稀土元素及其环境意义

通过对我国西北腾格里沙漠前缘凹地－宁夏长流水剖面第四纪沉积物中稀土元素、分布模式、特征参数和稀土元素之间以及其他元素相关系数研究,探讨了该区河湖相沉积物的物质来源及气候环境演化过程。初步认为该凹地第四纪晚期近７万年以来沉积物经历了三次较大的干冷／温湿气候环境演化并存有４～５次亚一级的气候冷暖阶段性变化。其中在约２．７ｍ处,湖相沉积层中大多稀土元素有突变现象,可能代表了全新世大暖期（９３００～５３００ａＢＰ）在该区的反应。同时,认为风成砂是进入该区沉积体系的主要物源并保留母岩特征,但也不排除凹地周围侏罗纪基岩受风化剥蚀后随水带入沉积体系。该剖面的沉积物大致以风成砂、河流沉积、湖泊沉积旋回叠覆与气候干冷、冷湿、温湿趋于同步变化的模式。总体以干旱荒漠环境为主导,化学风化相对微弱,生态环境十分脆弱。

A method to evaluate REE-HFSE mineralised provinces by value creation potential,and an example of application: Gardar REE-HFSE province,Greenland

The rare earth elements and high-field-strength elements (REE-HFSE) exploration sector conducts most evaluations at deposit and smaller scales. It is not evident how the sector performs a preceding exploration stage—rating and prioritising REE-HFSE mineralised provinces—to determine which provinces are prospective enough to warrant investment. Here we present an objective, repeatable, low-cost method to screen any REE-HFSE province, as a foundation for district-scale investigations or asset evaluations. It is original for REE-HFSE screening, and adapted from regional scale copper, cobalt and petroleum exploration, and CO₂ storage, screening methods. It is centred upon a mineralised province’s favourability for potential value creation, and to identify: (a) its main information gaps; (b) its weakest links; (c) its exploration maturity and remaining potential category; (d) how it compares against other REE-HFSE provinces; and (e) if further investigation is justified. This method incorporates geoscience, strategy, economic and socio-environmental factors in a way that is understandable and directly usable across stakeholder groups. The workflow is systematic, yet flexible enough to accommodate organisation-specific criteria, and usable for other commodities. It provides the platform to build a global REE-HFSE province map and database consistently across national boundaries and organisations. Categories for the extent of province exploration maturity and remaining mineral potential are proposed. We illustrate the applicability of these methods using the Gardar REE-HFSE Province (GRHP) of south Greenland. We conclude that it is a moderate size, frontier province that is currently of questionable favourability for value creation. To move GRHP into a positive favourability class, its current weak links need strengthening by research, government policy and industry stakeholders: evaluate the mineral system; integrate all information geospatially and place it in the public domain; help the region improve some community health and safety issues; convert some mineral resources into an Ore Reserves category; commence mining and sales production.     

陕西几类重要铅锌矿床的矿物微量元素和稀土元素特征

文章将陕西铅锌矿分为海底喷气沉积型(即SEDEX型)、与海底喷气沉积-改造作用有关的类SEDEX型和MVT型3类.对马元(MVT型)、南沙沟和江坡(类SEDEX型)、铅硐山和二里河(SEDEX型)铅锌矿床中的闪锌矿等矿物进行的微量元素和稀土元素测定结果表明,3类矿床各具特点:马元铅锌矿床闪锌矿的Co、Ni、Th、Y含量较低,而Mo、Cs、Sr、Ba、T1含量较高;南沙沟和江坡铅锌矿床闪锌矿的Sn、Sb、W含量较低,而Mn、Y、Zr、In含量较高;铅硐山和二里河铅锌矿床闪锌矿的Li、Zr、CB、Ba含量较低,而W含量较高;在闪锌矿Li-Cs、Zr-In、W-Sn、∑REE-δEu、δEu-δCe散点图上,5个矿床的投点按上述3类分别集中.但铅硐山和二里河铅锌矿床与南沙沟和江坡铅锌矿床具有更多的相似性,而与马元铅锌矿床差异较大:在闪锌矿Sr-Ba、Co-Ni、Th-Y、Mo-T1散点图上,马元的投点集中于一处,而其他4个矿床的投点集中于另一处;马元闪锌矿具有十分明显的铕正异常,而南沙沟、江坡、铅硐山和二里河闪锌矿铕异常不明显,或具有负铕异常;5元素矿床闪锌矿稀土元素配分曲线均为轻稀土元素稍富集的右倾型,但马元的稀土元素总量明显低于其他4个矿床.     

新疆阿尔泰山南缘乔夏哈拉式铁铜矿床稀土元素地球化学特征及其地质意义

通过野外地质调查和系统的稀土元素地球化学研究，探讨了阿尔泰山南缘乔夏哈拉式铁铜矿床中磁铁矿矿体和块状富铜矿体的成因关系及找矿意义。研究表明，乔夏哈拉铁铜矿床中铁矿体和富铜矿体的稀土元素组成及配分模式迥然不同。前者具有低∑REE、富轻稀土元素及正铕异常等特点，指示火山成因性质；后者异常富集轻稀土元素、配分曲线向右倾陡，其成因可能与造山期中基性浅成岩浆作用有关。据此认为，铁矿体和铜矿体并非“同生”成因关系，很可能是两期成矿作用在空间上的“同位叠生”关系。     

Formation Process of Zircon Associated with REE‐Fluorocarbonate and Niobium Minerals in the Nechalacho REE Deposit,Thor Lake,Canada

The two drill holes, which penetrated sub‐horizontal rare earth element (REE) ore units at the Nechalacho REE in the Proterozoic Thor Lake syenite, Canada, were studied in order to clarify the enrichment mechanism of the high‐field‐strength elements (HFSE: Zr, Nb and REE). The REE ore units occur in the albitized and potassic altered miaskitic syenite. Zircon is the most common REE mineral in the REE ore units, and is divided into five types as follows: Type‐1 zircon occurs as discrete grains in phlogopite, and has a chemical character similar to igneous zircon. Type‐2 zircon consists of a porous HREE‐rich core and LREE–Nb–F‐rich rim. Enrichment of F in the rim of type‐2 zircon suggests that F was related to the enrichment of HFSE. The core of type‐2 zircon is regarded to be magmatic and the rim to be hydrothermal in origin. Type‐3 zircon is characterized by euhedral to anhedral crystals, which occur in a complex intergrowth with REE fluorocarbonates. Type‐3 zircon has high REE, Nb and F contents. Type‐4 zircon consists of porous‐core and ‐rim, but their chemical compositions are similar to each other. This zircon is a subhedral crystal rimmed by fergusonite. Type‐5 zircon is characterized by smaller, porous and subhedral to anhedral crystals. The interstices between small zircon grains are filled by fergusonite. Type‐4 and type‐5 zircon grains have low REE, Nb and F contents. Type‐1 zircon is only included in one unit, which is less hydrothermally altered and mineralized. Type‐2 and type‐3 zircon grains mainly occur in the shallow units, while those of type‐4 and type‐5 are found in the deep units. The deep units have high HFSE contents and strongly altered mineral textures (type‐4 and type‐5) compared to the shallow units. Occurrences of these five types of zircon are different according to the depth and degree of the hydrothermal alteration by solutions rich in F and CO₃, which permit a model for the evolution of the zircon crystallization in the Nechalacho REE deposit as follows: (i) type‐1 (discrete magmatic zircon) is formed in miaskitic syenite. (ii) LREE–Nb–F‐rich hydrothermal zircon formed around HREE‐rich magmatic zircon (type‐2). (iii) type‐3 zircon crystallized through the F and CO₃‐rich hydrothermal alteration of type‐2 zircon which formed the complex intergrowth with REE fluorocarbonates; (iv) the CO₃‐rich hydrothermal fluid corroded type‐3, forming REE–Nb‐poor zircon (type‐4). Niobium and REE were no longer stable in the zircon structure and crystallized as fergusonite around the REE–Nb‐leached zircon (type‐4); (v) type‐5 zircon is formed by the more CO₃‐rich hydrothermal alteration of type‐4 zircon, suggested by the fact that type‐4 and type‐5 zircon grains are often included in ankerite. Type‐3 to type‐5 zircon grains at the Nechalacho REE deposit were continuously formed by leaching and/or dissolution of type‐2 zircon in the presence of F‐ and/or CO₃‐rich hydrothermal fluid. These mineral associations indicate that three representative hydrothermal stages were present and related to HFSE enrichment in the Nechalacho REE deposit: (i) F‐rich hydrothermal stage caused the crystallization of REE–Nb‐rich zircon (type‐2 rim and type‐3), with abundant formation of phlogopite and fluorite; (ii) F‐ and CO₃‐rich hydrothermal stage led to the replacement of a part of REE–Nb–F‐rich zircon by REE fluorocarbonate; and (iii) CO₃‐rich hydrothermal stage resulted in crystallization of the REE–Nb–F‐poor zircon and fergusonite, with ankerite. REE and Nb in hydrothermal fluid at the Nechalacho REE deposit were finally concentrated into fergusonite by way of REE–Nb–F‐rich zircon in the hydrothermally altered units.
