Plutonic zircons from the Cretaceous Separation Point Suite (SPS) were analysed by LA-ICPMS for U–Pb isotope ratios and trace
element concentrations. Pooled 206Pb/238U ages range from 112 to 124 Ma. Cathodoluminescence imaging reveals minor inheritence and textural evidence of repeated dissolution
and re-precipitation of zircon. Core and rim spot analyses, however, document zircon growth during extended periods of time
(>2 myr). Protracted crystallisation histories for simple plutonic systems are inconsistent with generalised thermal constraints,
which predict cooling below the solidus within <1 myr. Consequently, we conclude that the SPS granitoids sampled in this study
were not emplaced rapidly but incrementally over extended time periods. Zircon Th/U and Zr/Hf ratios are positively correlated
with crystallisation temperatures, consistent with crystallisation from evolving melts. However, highly variable trace element
concentrations, along with temperature reversals are indicative of complex crystallisation histories involving continuous
fractional crystallisation repeatedly punctuated by hotter, more mafic magma recharge. Normalised abundances of the redox-sensitive
elements Eu and Ce in zircon vary systematically with degrees of whole rock differentiation, pointing to evolutionary trends
in magmatic oxidation states coupled with feldspar crystallisation. 相似文献
Procedures for 3D mineral liberation analysis by X-ray micro CT (XMT) are presented and discussed including the construction of liberation-limited grade/recovery curves for specific feed materials. In this way, actual separation efficiencies can be compared to what might be expected for a perfect separation limited only by the extent of liberation. It is shown that 3D mineral liberation analysis based on XMT is preferred to 2D section analysis which overestimates the extent of liberation. By way of example, procedures and experimental results are presented and discussed for feed material in the case of phosphate rock flotation. 相似文献
The quantitative separation of As(III) from a water sample containing As(III) and As(V) in the presence of Fe and Mn in an ion exchange resin (AG1 X8) column for the speciation of arsenic is described. Individual and combined effects of Fe and Mn on the separation of As(III) from the solution have been studied separately. In absence of Fe and Mn, the ratio between the As(T) concentration in the eluent and the As(III) concentration in the original sample has been found to be 0.9717 under optimum process conditions. The presence of Fe(II) in the water sample increased the As(T) concentration in the eluent whereas Mn(II) decreased it. Combined effects of Fe and Mn on the percentage increment in the eluent arsenic concentration have been expressed by additive and interactive models. The interactive model has been developed by a statistical software with a 95 % confidence level. In most of the cases the error on the determination of the As(III) concentration had a minimum when using the interactive model. 相似文献
The flow around a cylinder, surface mounted or partly buried has been examined at Reynolds number of 1.3×104 and 2.6×104 by using the flow visualization method in the case of steady current. The lengths of the upstream and downstream separation regions were determined and the characteristics of the flow area were discussed for the cylinder having different burial depth to the diameter ratio (G/D). For comparsion, some numerical results obtained from the application of the FLUENT, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software package have also been presented. Both experimental and numerical results indicated that the lengths of the separation regions near the upstream and downstream of the cylinder decreased with the increasing burial ratio (G/D=0, 0.20, 0.50). The results have significant implications both for the illustration of the potential for using CFD software and highlighting the need for data of two dimensional flow around the buried cylinder. 相似文献
A new method based on the Morlet wavelet transform for separating a 2D wave field into incident and reflected waves is proposed in this paper. The principle of this method, first, is derived for constant depths. Then, using the linear shoaling theory, the method is extended to an arbitrary sloping bathymetry. Owing to the time-frequency characteristic of wavelet transform, the present method can separate waves in the real time domain and is not confined by the stationary assumption of waves. The efficiency and accuracy of this method are demonstrated using numerical simulated data. 相似文献
