Influence of a coarse interlayer on seawater intrusion and contaminant migration in coastal aquifers

Vertical 2D slice laboratory experiments were carried out in homogenous and layered sand tanks to elucidate the effects of a highly permeable (coarse‐grained sand) interlayer on seawater intrusion and transport of contaminants to a coastal sea. Tidal fluctuations produced oscillations in the seawater–freshwater transition zone, fluctuations of the contaminant infiltration rate and a zigzag contaminant plume outline. The seawater wedge became discontinuous at the (vertical) edges of the interlayer because of increased lateral movement of the seawater–freshwater interface within the interlayer. The contaminant plume formed a tail within the interlayer depending on the tidal stage, and similar to the wedge, its movement was accentuated. A simple analytical model that neglected vertical flow reliably predicted steady‐state seawater intrusion into the coastal aquifer. Numerical modeling was used to gain insight into the groundwater hydrodynamics and contaminant migration. The numerical results confirmed the experimental findings, i.e. that a highly permeable interlayer can provide a rapid transit path for contaminants to reach the seaward boundary and that the interlayer amplifies the effects of tidal fluctuations, resulting in wider transition zones for the seawater wedge and contaminant plume. Numerical simulations further showed that, with increasing interlayer hydraulic conductivity, the maximum seawater intrusion distance inside the interlayer increases approximately linearly. For the fixed‐head contaminant injection condition used, the model showed that contaminant infiltration increases approximately logarithmically with increasing interlayer hydraulic conductivity (other factors held fixed).

卧龙湖煤矿岩浆侵入特征及控制因素分析

岩浆侵入对煤矿生产影响极大,淮北煤田卧龙湖煤矿是受岩浆侵入较严重的矿井之一,其地质构造是控制岩浆侵入和岩浆岩展布的重要因素。卧龙湖煤矿自侏罗纪以来岩浆活动剧烈,发生了中性岩浆的侵入,多以岩床形式顺层侵入煤层顶底板及煤层中间。本文基于矿区钻孔数据揭露的岩浆岩分布情况,分析了结果表明卧龙湖矿区岩浆侵入规律,受煤层的形态、结构、理化性质以及产状的控制。

东天山黄山南镁铁-超镁铁质岩体锆石U-Pb年龄及岩浆演化过程探讨

黄山南镁铁-超镁铁质岩体位于东天山造山带觉罗塔格构造带内,与构造带内一系列镁铁-超镁铁质岩体构成了东天山镁铁-超镁铁质岩带。黄山南岩体锆石U-Pb同位素定年得到293.7±3.1Ma的加权平均年龄,显示其形成年龄为早二叠世。岩石样品镁铁比值m/f比值介于4.45~6.37之间,属于铁质超基性岩;利用橄榄石最高Fo值计算得到黄山南岩体母岩浆的Mg~#值为0.70,表明其母岩浆成分与原生岩浆较为接近,具有高镁拉斑玄武岩质岩浆的性质,且演化程度较低或母岩浆有过剩橄榄石堆晶的加入。Ba/La、Ba/Nb、Ba/Th、Rb/Nb、Th/Nb和Sm/Yb等微量元素比值表明黄山南岩体的岩浆源区可能为一被俯冲板片沉积物和流体改造过的较富集的岩石圈地幔。主量元素变化特征显示了岩浆结晶分异作用的一般特征;较高的Ba/Nb比值,相对高的La/Nb和低La/Ba值以及Ni-Ta-(Ti)元素的负异常表明岩浆上升过程中可能经历了地壳物质的混染作用。黄山南岩体年龄及岩石地球化学特征综合表明其能够代表东天山地区地幔岩浆演化早期阶段的产物,具有较好的成矿潜力。     

Wind impact on pollutant transport in a shallow estuary

A three-dimensional numerical model, EFDC （ environmental fluid dynamics code） is applied to the Pamlico River Estuary （PRE） in eastern North Carolina of the United States to examine the wind impact on pollutant age distributions and residence time. A series of model experiments representing base case, remote-wind-induced water level set-up and local winds cases are conducted. Model results indicate that the pollutant mean age and the system residence time are functions of gravitational circulation in the PRE. The system responses to remote-wind-induced water level set-up are different in different portions of the PRE. Under such condition, dissolved substances in the upstream portion of the PRE have a younger age and shorter residence time （compared with the base case） , by contrast, they have a older age and longer residence time in the downstream portion of the PRE. Upriver and downriver local winds appear to have opposite impacts on pollutant age distributions. The substances are retained much longer within the PRE under upriver wind than those under downriver wind. The model results also suggest that across - river winds may lead to longer residence time through enhanced turbulence mixing, which slows down the gravitational circulation in the PRE.

关于“小岩体为什么有利于成矿”的探讨

2012年在西安召开了一次学术会议,系统地总结了小岩体成大矿的现象和理论。笔者从另一个方面探讨小岩体成矿的理论问题．但是仅涉及与花岗岩有关的小岩体成矿问题,不涉及镁铁和超镁铁质小岩体成矿的问题。关于岩体与成矿的关系,可以从3个层面上去探讨：第一个层面是小岩体成大矿。小岩体成大矿是事实,也是特殊的事实。绝大多数小岩体不成矿,少数小岩体成小矿,个别小岩体成大矿。第二个层面是小岩浆大流体成矿,基本思想是：小岩浆无流体不成矿,小岩浆有小流体成小矿,小岩浆有大流体成大矿。因此,笔者认为成矿的根本在于流体的大小。第三个层面是流体成矿。如果不考虑岩体的因素,只要有大流体即可成大矿。文中指出,从小岩体成大矿,到小岩浆大流体成矿,到流体成矿。表明成矿的本质在流体,无流体不成矿,有流体才可能成矿。流体是成矿的必要条件．温度是成矿的充分条件,二者缺一不可,只有满足了这两个条件才能成矿。     

北京房山岩体形成过程中的岩浆混合作用证据

北京房山侵入岩体主要由石英二长闪长岩单元和三种不同结构的花岗闪长岩单元组成,岩体中广泛分布的镁铁质微粒包体、富集暗色矿物的线状条带以及各岩相单元的非渐变接触关系等宏观特征,指示岩体的形成与岩浆混合作用有密切联系。122个斜长石成分剖面电子探针分析表明,它们众数成分为 An=29的更长石。但是,其成分变化范围极宽(An=14～56),晶体内不同部位的成分有很大差别,出现正常环带的 An 值较低(14～42),内环带的 An 值较高(24～56)的特殊情况,指示斜长石结晶环境的改变,暗示具有富钙基性岩浆的加入。从岩体边部到中心,斜长石 An 牌号逐渐降低,但相邻岩相单元之间有较大的重叠,表明不同岩石单元中的斜长石成分主要受控于岩浆成分的变化,与分离结晶作用无关。斜长石的韵律性环带、特别是内环带的发育则是岩浆混合作用机制的有力证据。基性岩浆的反复注入不仅改变寄主岩浆的成分,而且也控制了它的温度、定位机制和岩石的结构特征。因此,房山岩体的形成过程还包含了镁铁质岩浆多次注入的历史,并且从外到里基性岩浆的作用逐渐减弱。

东天山黄山岩带因发育众多镁铁质-超镁铁质岩体和岩浆铜镍硫化物矿床而备受地质学者关注.四顶黑山岩体位于该岩带最东端,具有层状岩体特征;岩石类型有单辉橄榄岩、橄榄辉石岩、橄榄苏长辉长岩、橄榄辉长岩、辉石角闪岩、辉长岩、角闪辉长岩、闪长岩,主要造岩矿物为贵橄榄石、古铜辉石、透辉石、普通角闪石和斜长石,岩体分异较好,蚀变较发育.通过矿物显微结构特征观察以及计算得出:四顶黑山岩体中橄榄石最先结晶,其开始结晶温度大约在1419℃左右;古铜辉石和透辉石在橄榄石之后开始结晶,结晶温度分别在1100℃左右和900～1100℃之间,两矿物相在岩石中可以共存.岩体中橄榄岩相、苏长岩相发育,以及贵橄榄石+古铜辉石的矿物组合特征,表明岩体具有形成铜镍(铂)矿床的有利条件.     

岩层阻水性能及自然导升高度研究

在沉积、成岩或者构造运动过程中,由于含水层内超压流体引起围岩爆裂导致流体在弱渗透层或者隔水层中导升,形成含水层的自然导升带。影响岩层阻水性能以及导升高度的因素有:构造、地应力、岩层渗透性和力学特性及其物理化学性质、水压力等。实验表明:初始水头压力越大,水头衰减速率就越大;水头压力损耗随着介质的渗透系数增大而减小。实际观测表明:泥岩、粉砂岩、中砂岩、灰岩的阻水性能由大到小,而导升高度则由小变大。通过实验和实际观测总结出流体3种导升机制:局部关键层整体破断裂缝、欠压实带中的壳破裂裂缝和水力压裂裂缝。
