REE, Mn, Fe, Mg and C, O Isotopic Geochemistry of Calcites from Furong Tin Deposit, South China: Evidence for the Genesis of the Hydrothermal Ore-forming Fluids

The Furong tin deposit in the central Nanling region, South China, consists of three main types of mineralization ores, i.e. skarn-, altered granite- and greisen-type ores, hosted in Carboniferous and Permian strata and Mesozoic granitic intrusions. Calcite is the dominant gangue mineral intergrown with ore bodies in the orefield. We have carried out REE, Mn, Fe, and Mg geochemical and C, and O isotopic studies on calcites to constrain the source and evolution of the ore-forming fluids. The calcites from the Furong deposit exhibit middle negative Eu anomaly (Eu/Eu*= 0.311–0.921), except for one which has an Eu/Eu* of 1.10, with the total REE content of 5.49–133 ppm. The results show that the calcites are characterized by two types of REE distribution patterns: a LREE-enriched pattern and a flat REE pattern. The LREE-enriched pattern of calcites accompanying greisen-type ore and skarn-type ore are similar to those of Qitianling granite. The REE, Mn, Fe, and Mg abundances of calcites exhibit a decreasing tendency from granite rock mass to wall rock, i.e. these abundances of calcites associated with altered granite-type and greisen-type ores are higher than those associated with skarn-type ores. The calcites from primary ores in the Furong deposit show large variation in carbon and oxygen isotopic compositions. The δ¹³C and δ¹⁸O of calcites are −0.4 to −12.7‰ and 2.8 to 16.4‰, respectively, and mainly fall within the range between mantle or magmatic carbon and marine carbonate. The calcites from greisen and altered granite ores in the Furong deposit display a negative correlation in the diagram of δ¹³C versus δ¹⁸O, probably owing to the CO₂-degassing of the ore-forming fluids. From the intrusion to wall-rock, the calcites display an increasing tendency with respect to δ¹³C values. This implies that the carbon isotopic compositions of the ore-bearing fluids have progressively changed from domination by magmatic carbon to sedimentary carbonate carbon. In combination with other geological and geochemical data, we suggest that the ore-forming fluids represent magmatic origin. We believe that the fluids exsolved from fractionation of the granitic magma, accompanying magmatism of the Qitianling granite complex, were involved in the mineralization of the Furong tin polymetallic deposit.     

A numerical study of mechanical behavior of a cement paste under mechanical loading and chemical leaching

Based on relevant experimental data of a petroleum cement paste under mechanical loading and chemical leaching, an elastic‐plastic model is first proposed by taking into account plastic shearing and pore collapse. The degradation of mechanical properties induced by the chemical leaching is characterized by a chemical damage variable which is defined as the increase of porosity. Both elastic and plastic properties of the cement paste are affected by the chemical damage. The proposed model is calibrated from and applied to describe mechanical responses in triaxial compression tests respectively on sound and fully leached samples. In the second part, a phenomenological chemical model is defined to establish the relationship between porosity change and calcium dissolution process. The dissolution kinetics is governed by a diffusion law taking into account the variation of diffusion coefficient with calcium concentration. The chemical model is coupled with the mechanical model, and both are applied to describe mechanical response of cement paste samples subjected to progressive chemical leaching and compressive stresses. Comparisons between experimental data and numerical results are presented.     

芙蓉锡矿方解石稀土元素地球化学特征及其对成矿流体来源的指示

方解石是芙蓉锡矿田重要的脉石矿物。根据芙蓉矿田白蜡水矿区和狗头岭矿区不同产状(云英岩型、蚀变岩体型和构造蚀变带-矽卡岩型)矿石中方解石稀土元素地球化学特征研究表明:两矿区成矿期热液方解石具有两种稀土模式,LREE(轻稀土元素)富集型和相对平坦型。其中,蚀变岩体型方解石所具有的相对平坦型稀土模式代表了LREE带出后残余热液的稀土模式特征,而云英岩型和构造蚀变带—矽卡岩型方解石的LREE富集型稀土模式与骑田岭新鲜花岗岩类似,表明成矿过程中没有LREE明显带出的迹象,残余热液继承了岩浆期后热液的特征。成矿流体来源于骑田岭花岗岩岩浆期后热液。     

Flotation Separation of Trace Elements from Alkaline-Earth Matrices by Co(III) Hexamethylenedithiocarbamate before ICP-AES Determination

A method for the selective separation of Ag, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb and Zn in traces from solutions of calcite (CaCO₃), dolomite (CaMg(CO₃)₂) and gypsum (CaSO₄.2H₂O) before their determination by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) is presented. The expected interferences of Ca and Mg on intensities of trace analytes were removed by collecting the elements of interest with cobalt(III) hexamethylenedithiocar-bamate, Co(HMDTC)₃. The flotation of aqueous solutions (1 l) of calcite, dolomite and gypsum was performed at pH 6.0, by 1.5 mg l⁻¹ Co and 0.6 mmol l⁻¹ HMDTC⁻. To minimise the effect of the reaction between Ca/Mg, which restrains the function of the surfactant, careful selection of the most suitable foaming reagent was necessary. The accuracy of the method was established by analysing natural alkaline-earth minerals by the standard addition method as well as using the dolomite reference materials GBW 07114 and GSJ JDo-1. The ICP-AES limits of detection following flotation on different minerals were found to be 0.080 μg g⁻¹ for Cd, 0.105 μg g⁻¹ for Ag, 0.142 μg g⁻¹ for Cu, 0.195 μg g⁻¹ for Cr, 0.212 μg g⁻¹ for Ni, 0.235 μg g⁻¹ for Zn and 0.450 μg g⁻¹ for Pb.

Distribution Patterns of Calcite Cement in the Turbidite Sandstones of the Shahejie Formation in the Dongying Depression, Eastern China

Calcite cements are volumetrically dominant among the most diagenetic constituents in turbidite sandstones of the Paleogene Shahejie Formation in the Dongying Depression. The results show carbonate cements mainly occur in three phases: Calcite I (pre-compaction), Calcite II (post-compaction) and ankerite in the turbidite sandstone. The isotopic composition of Calcite I and Calcite II range from ?4.3‰ to 4.4‰, ?3.5‰ to 4.3‰ PDB, respectively, suggesting that the calcite cements are mainly derived from the interbedded shales. The early calcite cement precipitated from the mixing of lacustrine and meteoric waters at 38–69°C. The late-phase calcite precipitated from pore waters modified by water-rock interactions at 64–126°C. Two distribution patterns of calcite cements can be identified, depending on their position within the sandstone. The peripheral cementation of the sandstones is near the sand-shale contact. The development of cement is controlled by sandstone thickness and the properties of the interbedded shale. For scattered cementation, the distribution of the calcite cement is not controlled by the sand-shale contact. Calcite cement was preferentially distributed in coarse-grained sandstones, indicating that sandstones with high original permeability are the preferred pathway for the migration of early diagenetic fluids.

西湖凹陷平湖组碳酸盐胶结物形成机制及其对储层的影响

碳酸盐胶结物是西湖凹陷平湖组储层砂岩中含量最多,对储层质量影响最大的自生矿物。通过岩心观察、薄片鉴定、阴极发光、元素成分分析及碳氧同位素分析结果表明,西湖凹陷平湖组储层砂岩中碳酸盐胶结物的主要矿物类型是方解石、铁方解石、白云石和铁白云石,偶见菱铁矿。碳酸盐胶结物的碳同位素（δ¹³C）值分布范围较集中,为-7.80‰～1.40‰,平均值-2.11‰,氧同位素（δ¹⁸O）值整体偏负,为-19.26‰～-9.99‰,平均值-13.79‰。据胶结物碳氧同位素分析恢复古盐度Z值及测算古地温判断碳酸盐胶结物的成岩流体主要为淡水水体,存在部分海水的影响;碳主要来自湖相碳酸盐岩溶解的产物和有机质成熟过程中排放的有机酸。不同类型和时期形成的胶结物对储层影响不一,白云石和大部分方解石形成在中成岩B期堵塞喉道,对储层起破坏作用,但成岩早期靠近不整合面受到了大气淡水影响的方解石对储层影响是保持性的;而埋深较浅,形成温度低的铁白云石对储层起建设性作用。     

红层泥质胶结物干缩裂缝深度与间距预测模型

红层泥质胶结物在干燥条件下会因含水率变化产生开裂,裂缝进一步发展贯通最终导致红层泥岩崩解破坏。目前对红层泥岩崩解机制的研究多为定性描述,缺乏定量分析方法。因此,定量研究红层泥质胶结物开裂的产生及扩展对深化红层泥岩崩解理论研究具有重要意义。基于线弹性断裂力学及非饱和土力学,建立了考虑含水率变化的红层泥质胶结物裂缝深度及间距计算公式,并对公式参数敏感性进行了分析。应用CT试验数据对PFC2D数值模型进行了校准,并基于干缩开裂数值试验结果,对裂缝深度及间距计算公式进行了对比验证。结果表明：提出的计算公式能较好地预测红层泥质胶结物的开裂深度及间距,裂缝深度随含水率减小呈先快速增加再缓慢增长的特点。研究成果有助于加深对红层泥岩崩解的量化理论分析,并为预测工程中红层泥岩的开裂程度提供参考。
