Apatite Chlorine Concentration Measurements by LA‐ICP‐MS

Apatite incorporates variable and significant amounts of halogens (mainly F and Cl) in its crystal structure, which can be used to determine the initial F and Cl concentrations of magmas. The amount of chlorine in the apatite lattice also exerts an important compositional control on the degree of fission‐track annealing. Chlorine measurements in apatite have conventionally required electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry (LA‐ICP‐MS) is increasingly used in apatite fission‐track dating to determine U concentrations and also in simultaneous U‐Pb dating and trace element measurements of apatite. Apatite Cl measurements by ICP‐MS would remove the need for EPMA but the high (12.97 eV) first ionisation potential makes analysis challenging. Apatite Cl data were acquired using two analytical set‐ups: a Resonetics M‐50 193 nm ArF Excimer laser coupled to an Agilent 7700× quadrupole ICP‐MS (using a 26 μm spot with an 8 Hz repetition rate) and a Photon Machines Analyte Excite 193 nm ArF Excimer laser coupled to a Thermo Scientific iCAP Qc (using a 30 μm spot with a 4 Hz repetition rate). Chlorine concentrations were determined by LA‐ICP‐MS (1140 analyses in total) for nineteen apatite occurrences, and there is a comprehensive EPMA Cl and F data set for 13 of the apatite samples. The apatite sample suite includes different compositions representative of the range likely to be encountered in natural apatites, along with extreme variants including two end‐member chlorapatites. Between twenty‐six and thirty‐nine isotopes were determined in each apatite sample corresponding to a typical analytical protocol for integrated apatite fission track (U and Cl contents) and U‐Pb dating, along with REE and trace element measurements. ³⁵Cl backgrounds (present mainly in the argon gas) were ~ 45–65 kcps in the first set‐up and ~ 4 kcps in the second set‐up. ³⁵Cl background‐corrected signals ranged from ~ 0 cps in end‐member fluorapatite to up to ~ 90 kcps in end‐member chlorapatite. Use of a collision cell in both analytical set‐ups decreased the low mass sensitivity by approximately an order of magnitude without improving the ³⁵Cl signal‐to‐background ratio. A minor Ca isotope was used as the internal standard to correct for drift in instrument sensitivity and variations in ablation volume during sessions. The ³⁵Cl/⁴³Ca values for each apatite (10–20 analyses each) when plotted against the EPMA Cl concentrations yield excellently constrained calibration relationships, demonstrating the suitability of the analytical protocol and that routine apatite Cl measurements by ICP‐MS are achievable.     

氯盐渍土土-水特征曲线的试验研究

采用滤纸法和压力板法测定不同含盐量盐渍土的土-水特征曲线（SWCC）,探讨土中含盐量对盐渍土土-水特征曲线的影响。试验结果表明,粉土中含盐量对基质吸力土-水特征曲线的影响不大。采用滤纸法测得的总吸力与基质吸力之间的差值随着土中盐溶液浓度的增加而增加,且该差值要大于相同浓度纯盐溶液的渗透吸力,其原因是由于土颗粒表面对溶液吸附作用引起的,用滤纸法测得的基质吸力土-水特征曲线处于脱湿曲线和吸湿曲线之间。采用蒸汽平衡法测定Whatman 42号滤纸在高吸力阶段的总吸力的率定曲线,使得高吸力时用滤纸法测定吸力更为精确。     

稳定氯同位素及其应用地球化学研究

稳定氯同位素的分馏作用有限,同位素比值变化小,测定精度要求高。在很长一段时期内,人们一直未能发现自然界稳定氯同位素组成的变化。随着测定技术的不断发展,氯同位素的分馏效应逐渐得到证实,并引起了人们的广泛关注。国内外学者已将氯同位素应用于海水、地表河流水、地下水、盐湖、古代蒸发岩(盐)和热液矿床等方面的地球化学研究中,对水体演化和矿床成因进行了较为深入的探讨和分析,并取得了一定的研究进展。这些研究工作充分表明氯同位素在水体演化和成矿理论研究以及矿产勘查等方面有着独特优势,尤其在我国开展蒸发岩(盐)氯同位素地球化学研究具有很大的发展潜力和广阔的应用前景。但氯同位素的应用地球化学研究目前尚处于发展时期,更深入的研究还有待于测定方法的进一步完善以及对不同地球化学体系氯同位素的系统测定和研究。     

The F,Cl, Br and I Contents of Reference Glasses BHVO‐2G,BIR‐1G,BCR‐2G,GSD‐1G,GSE‐1G,NIST SRM 610 and NIST SRM 612

Halogen contents for the widely distributed reference glasses BHVO‐2G, BIR‐1G, BCR‐2G, GSD‐1G, GSE‐1G, NIST SRM 610 and NIST SRM 612 were investigated by pyrohydrolysis combined with ion chromatography, total reflection X‐ray fluorescence analysis, instrumental neutron activation analysis, the noble gas method, electron probe microanalysis and laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry. Glasses BHVO‐2G, GSD‐1G and GSE‐1G have halogen contents that can be reproduced at the 15% level by all bulk techniques and cover a significant range in halogen mass fractions for F (~ 20–300 μg g^?1), Cl (~ 70–1220 μg g^?1) and Br (~ 0.2–285 μg g^?1) and I (~ 9–3560 ng g^?1). The BIR‐1G glass has low F (< 15 μg g^?1), Cl (~ 20 μg g^?1), Br (15 ng g^?1) and I (3 ng g^?1). The halogen contents for the silica‐rich NIST SRM 610 and 612 glasses were poorly reproduced by the different techniques. The relatively high Cl, Br and I abundances in glasses GSD‐1G and GSE‐1G mean that these glasses are well suited for calibrating spatially resolved micro‐analytical studies on silicate glasses, melt and fluid inclusions. Combined EPMA and laser ablation‐inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry data for glass GSE‐1G demonstrate homogeneity at the 10% level for Cl and Br.

稳定氯同位素地球化学研究进展

地球卤素元素含量相对稀少,相对而言氯为最常见的卤素元素。氯是一种挥发性元素,具有强烈的亲水性。自然界氯两个稳定同位素³⁵Cl和³⁷Cl,其相对丰度分别为75.76%和24.24%。文章综述了氯在各个地质储库的特征、稳定氯同位素分馏的控制因素以及氯同位素的地质应用三大方面的研究进展。地球主要储库中蒸发岩、海水、岩浆岩、沉积物、变质岩、地幔的氯同位素组成分别为-0.5‰~+0.8‰、0.00±0.05‰、-1.12‰~+0.79‰、-3.0‰~+2.0‰、-3.6‰~0、-1.9‰~+7.2‰。地外(月球、火星及其他小行星4-Vesta)氯同位素组成变化范围分别为-4‰~+81.1‰、-5.6‰~+8.6‰、-3.8‰~+7.7‰。相对地球上氯同位素(δ³⁷Cl)的变化范围(-14‰~+16‰),月球和火星δ³⁷Cl的变化范围可达-5.6‰~+81‰,表明挥发分氯在地内和地外迁移循环过程中有显著不同同位素分馏主控机制。已经探明氯同位素分馏受控于物理过程(如扩散、离子过滤、沉淀溶解作用、火山作用)和化学作用(如水岩作用、变质作用,尤其是蛇纹石化作用)等。扩散作用、淋滤作用和火山作用富集重同位素,沉淀作用结晶盐δ³⁷Cl先减小后上升,而蛇纹石化过程中多种因素共同影响。与其他指标结合,氯同位素地球化学可用于有效指示钾盐矿床远景区,评估示踪地下水的来源和演化路径、示踪污染物源区和量化生物修复、探究矿化流体来源、指示行星演化岩浆海洋脱气等过程。

Ab initio study on carbon Kinetic Isotope Effect (KIE) in the reaction of CH4+Cl•

Recent studies suggest that the destruction of methane by Cl in the marine boundary layer could be accounted for as another major sink besides the methane destruction by OH. High level ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been carried out to study the CH₄+Cl reaction, the carbon Kinetic Isotope Effect (KIE) is calculated using Conventional Transition-State Theory (CTST) plus Wigner and Eckart semiclassical tunneling corrections. The calculated KIE is around 1.026 at 300 K and has a small temperature variation. This is by far the largest KIE among different processes involving atmospheric methane destruction (e.g., OH, soil). A calculated mass balance of atmospheric methane including the KIE for the CH₄+Cl reaction is found to favor those methane budgets with enhanced biological methane sources, which have relatively lighter carbon isotope composition.     

Fourier transform infrared studies of the reaction of Cl atoms with PAN,PPN, CH3OOH,HCOOH, CH3COCH3 and CH3COC2H5 at 295±2 K

The relative rate technique has been used to measure rate constants for the reaction of chlorine atoms with peroxyacetylnitrate (PAN), peroxypropionylnitrate (PPN), methylhydroperoxide, formic acid, acetone and butanone. Decay rates of these organic species were measured relative to one or more of the following reference compounds; ethene, ethane, chloroethane, chloromethane, and methane. Using rate constants of 9.29×10^–11, 5.7×10^–11, 8.04×10^–12, 4.9×10^–13, and 1.0×10^–13 cm³ molecule^–1 sec^–1 for the reaction of Cl atoms with ethene, ethane, chloroethane, chloromethane, and methane respectively, the following rate constants were derived, in units of cm³ molecule^–1 s^–1: PAN, <7×10^–15; PPN, (1.14±0.12)×10^–12; HCOOH, (2.00±0.25)×10^–13; CH₃OOH, (5.70±0.23)×10^–11; CH₃COCH₃, (2.37±0.12)×10^–12; and CH₃COC₂H₅, (4.13±0.57)×10^–11. Quoted errors represent 2 and do not include possible systematic errors due to errors in the reference rate constants. Experiments were performed at 295±2 K and 700 torr total pressure of nitrogen or synthetic air. The results are discussed with respect to the previous literature data and to the modelling of nonmethane hydrocarbon oxidation in the atmosphere.In recent discussions with Dr. R. A. Cox of Harwell Laboratory, UKAEA, we learnt of a preliminary value for the rate constant of the reaction of Cl with acetone of (2.5±1.0)×10^–12 cm³ molecule^–1 sec^–1 measured by R. A. Cox, M. E. Jenkin, and G. D. Hayman using molecular modulation techniques. This value is in good agreement with our results.
