地幔橄榄岩捕掳体中尖晶石筛状边的成因

山东的无棣大山和栖霞方山是两个以霞石岩为主的新生代火山,含有大量的地幔橄榄岩捕掳体,橄榄岩捕掳体中的尖晶石常见黑色反应边。在BSE图像上,这些反应边根据结构的不同又可以进一步分为两种:筛状边和均一边。有时两种反应边在同一颗尖晶石中共存并相互过渡。尖晶石捕掳晶和捕掳体中与寄主岩直接接触的尖晶石常发育均一边;发育筛状边的尖晶石则一般不直接与寄主岩接触,但位于捕掳体的边缘。尖晶石的筛状边呈多孔状,为富Cr尖晶石或铬铁矿。筛状边成分上与核部(Cr_2O_3=7.52%~36.75%,Cr#=7.80~44.20,Mg#=44.70~74.48)区别明显,具有高的Cr_2O_3含量(23.42%~65.96%)、Cr#值(78.97~92.49)以及低的Mg#值(17.22~43.02)。另外,筛状边相对其核部(TiO 2=0.00%~0.53%,MnO=0.04%~0.35%)还显示偏高的TiO 2(0.20%~3.60%)和MnO(0.29%~1.93%)。在筛状边附近存在富Al_2O_3(8.00%~17.57%)和MgO(17.89%~26.02%)的玻璃。尖晶石的均一边无孔洞但多发育裂理,成分上与核部突变,并以富TiO 2(20.90%~6.64%)和FeO T(70.79%~53.92%)为特征,最外部为钛磁铁矿。均一边具有明显的成分分带,表现为由内至外TiO 2、FeO T含量逐渐增高,Al_2O_3(0.04%~16.34%)、Cr_2O_3(0.77%~25.69%)和MgO(0.50%~7.16%)含量逐渐降低。尖晶石的两种反应边与寄主岩密切的空间关系说明其成因与寄主岩浆有关。虽然尖晶石筛状边的Cr#值(79.0~92.5)明显高于核部(7.8~44.2),但是其相对核部偏高的TiO 2和MnO含量,以及显著降低的Mg#值均与单纯的部分熔融趋势不吻合。根据尖晶石两种反应边的结构特征、成分特征和相互的空间关系,我们认为筛状边与均一边是岩浆与尖晶石反应不同阶段的产物。当橄榄岩捕掳体被岩浆捕获后,由于成分上的不均衡两者之间将发生溶解反应。反应过程中,尖晶石中不同元素向熔体迁移的速率区别明显,其中Cr是最难熔的元素也是迁移最慢的元素。在反应的初始阶段,由于易溶组份Al、Mg等元素随熔体迁出,尖晶石发育筛状边,并同时伴随Cr#值的显著升高和Mg#值的显著降低。此时,寄主岩浆中的Ti、Mn等元素也部分扩散进入筛状边中的残留尖晶石。如果熔体足够多,反应得以持续进行,筛状边中的Cr最终也将被熔体带走。在反应产生的混合熔体中金属氧化物最早达到饱和并结晶。随着反应的持续进行,结晶出的矿物将继续生长、变粗,并相互连接,直至孔洞消失形成均一边。同时伴随着矿物的不断结晶,溶解界面上的熔体成分也不断变化,从而使均一边具有明显的成分分带。在橄榄岩捕掳体内部,由于渗进捕掳体中的岩浆有限,渗透岩浆与尖晶石之间的反应多限于早期阶段,反应产物为筛状边。在捕掳体边缘,与寄主岩浆直接接触的尖晶石由于参与反应的岩浆量足够多,因此一般产生反应的终端产物———均一边。     

扁铲侧胀试验在滨海沉积软土中的应用

通过运用扁铲侧胀仪(DMT)在长江入海口滨海沉积软土中进行的原位测试,获得滨海沉积软土中扁铲侧胀试验各指标参数的变化规律。扁铲侧胀试验与静力触探试验结果一致,试验结果可靠,且扁铲侧胀试验可以快速地获取侧向基床反力系数KH,为桩基础的设计提供可靠的依据。对比旁压试验结果,扁铲侧胀试验得到的KH值常常偏大。在粘土层、粘质粉土夹粉质粘土、淤泥质粉质粘土、粘质粉土、淤泥质粘土等土层中KH与真实值相差较小,可以使用,但实际应用中应同时结合规范使用;而在砂质粉土和粉砂等土层中KH与真实值相差较大,不宜使用。

The ultra‐high pressure coronitic and pseudomorphous reactions in a metagranodiorite from the Brossasco‐Isasca Unit,Dora‐Maira Massif,western Italian Alps: a petrographic study and equilibrium thermodynamic modelling

Metagranodiorite samples from the Brossasco‐Isasca Unit, Dora‐Maira Massif, western Alps, show pseudomorphous and coronitic textures where igneous minerals were partially replaced by ultra‐high pressure (UHP) metamorphic assemblages. The original magmatic paragenesis consisted of quartz, plagioclase, K‐feldspar, biotite and minor phases. During UHP metamorphism, the plagioclase (site P) was replaced by zoisite, jadeite, quartz, K‐feldspar and kyanite, and coronitic reactions developed between biotite and adjacent minerals. At the original igneous biotite–quartz contact (site A), a single corona of poorly zoned garnet is developed, whereas at the biotite–K‐feldspar (site B) and biotite–plagioclase (site C) contacts, composite coronas are formed. Integration of results from petrographic observations, calculations of mineral stoichiometry and thermodynamic calculations of mineral stability has allowed the determination of the metamorphic reactions involved and the estimation of the metamorphic conditions, which reached as high as 24 kbar and 650 °C. Accurate microanalysis by energy‐dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and statistical analysis of the data allowed us to identify, for the first time in a natural Na‐pyroxene of metagranitoid rocks, the end‐member Ca‐Eskola.     

Estimation and inference in inverse methods for kinetic models of hydrocarbon generation

Procedures based on ordinary and generalized least of squares for the estimation of kinetic parameters in laboratory pyrolysis experiments are compared. When the data consist of measurements on the degree of chemical reaction through time for a number of temperatures, a single regression procedure is preferred to the two-stage regression alternative. Methods are developed for the construction of confidence intervals for calibration curves used to infer formation temperature on the basis of the unreacted fraction of source material.     

Products and Mechanism of the NO<Subscript>3</Subscript> Reaction with Thiophene

Products of the gas-phase reaction of the NO₃ radical with thiophene have been investigated using different experimental systems. On the one hand, experiments have been conducted in our laboratory using two different methods, a Teflon static reactor coupled to a gas chromatograph combined with mass-spectrometry (GC-MS) and a discharge flow tube with direct MS spectroscopic detection. A qualitative analysis in these cases indicates that possible products for the reaction of thiophene+NO₃ at room temperature include: sulphur dioxide, acetic and formic acids, a short-chain aldehyde, 2-nitrothiophene and 3-nitrothiophene. On the other hand, quantitative experiments have been performed in the European Photoreactor (EUPHORE) in Valencia, Spain. In this case, the major products were: HNO₃ (≈80%), nitrothiophenes (≈30%), SO₂ (≈20%), propanal (3%) and a fraction of particles (≈10%). The results obtained indicate that at least 70% of the reaction of NO₃ with thiophene proceeds by an H-abstraction process at room temperature. The mechanism of the reaction studied is proposed on the basis of experimental results.     

Controls of mineral reactions in high-grade garnet–wollastonite–scapolite-bearing calcsilicate rocks: an example from Anakapalle, Eastern Ghats, India

ABSTRACT A suite of garnet-wollastonite-scapolite-bearing calcsilicate granulites from the Eastern Ghats has been investigated to document the controls of mineral reactions during the metamorphic evolution of the deep continental crust. The rocks studied show heterogeneity in modal mineralogy and phase compositions in millimetre-sized domains. Textural relations, and the compositional plots of the phases, established that the clinopyroxene exerts a strong influence on the formation and composition of garnet in the complex natural system. P-T estimates using the vapour-independent equilibria involving garnet define a near isobaric cooling path from c. 850C at c. 5.5–5.2 kbar. The deduced trajectory tallies well with the terminal segment of the overall retrograde P-T path construed from the associated rocks using well-calibrated thermobarometers. The ubiquitous occurrence of wollastonite and scapolite in the main calcsilicate body suggests low a_CO2 during peak metamorphic condition. Fluid compositions constrained from mineral-fluid equilibria of the garnet-bearing assemblages show domainal variations as a function of the compositions of the solid phases, e.g. garnet and clinopyroxene. A quantitative log/_CO2-log/_O2 diagram has been constructed to depict the stability of the different calcsilicate assemblages as functions of the compositions and the behaviour of these fugitive species. The results of the mineral-fluid equilibria and the quantitative fluid/rock ratio calculations, in conjunction with the topological constraints, imply vapour-deficient meta-morphism in the rocks studied. It is argued that f_O2 during peak metamorphism was monitored by the ambient f_O2. Subsequently, during retrogression, different domains evolved independently, whereas the fluid composition was controlled by the mineral-fluid equilibria.     

Aluminous reaction textures in orthoamphibole-bearing rocks: the pressure–temperature evolution of the high-grade Proterozoic of the Bamble sector, south Norway

Aluminous reaction textures in orthoamphibole-bearing rocks from the Froland area, Bamble, south Norway, record the prograde pressure–temperature path of the high-grade Kongsbergian Orogeny (c. 1600–1500 Ma) and the low–mid amphibolite facies overprint during the Sveconorwegian Orogeny (c. 1100–1000 Ma). The rocks contain anthophyllite/gedrite, garnet, cordierite, biotite, quartz, andalusite, kyanite, Cr-rich staurolite, tourmaline, ilmenite, rutile and corundum in a variety of parageneses. The P–T path is deduced from petrographic observations, mineral chemistry and zoning, geothermometry and (N)FMASH equilibria. The results indicate the sequence of metamorphic stages outlined below. (a) An M₁ phase characterized by the presence of strongly deformed andalusite, gedrite and tourmaline. (b) An M₂ phase with the development of kyanite after andalusite and the growth of staurolite associated with strong Na–Al–Mg zoning in orthoamphibole, indicating an increase in pressure (4 8 kbar) and temperature (500° 650°C). (c) Pressure decrease at high P (6–7 kbar) and high T (600–700 °C) during M_3a with the production of cordierite ° Corundum between kyanite, staurolite and orthoamphibole and cordierite growth between corundum and orthoamphibole. (d) Temperature increase to 740 ± 60 °C and 7 kbar; static growth of garnet (M_3b) at the metamorphic climax (peak T). The heat supply necessary to explain the temperature increase between the M_3a and M_3b phases is correlated with synkinematic enderbitic–charnockitic and basic intrusions in the Arendal granulite facies terrain. (e) M_3b metamorphic conditions were followed by an initial isobaric cooling path (early M₄) and late-stage pressure decrease (late M₄). Early M₄ conditions of 6–7 kbar and 550–600 °C, assuming P_H2O < P_total are indicated by a retrograde talc–kyanite–quartz assemblage in late quartz–cordierite veins. Late M₄ conditions of 3–4 kbar and 420–530 °C are inferred from a kyanite–andalusite–chlorite–quartz assemblage in vein-cordierite. The M₁–M₃ stages are interpreted as being the result of the same metamorphic P–T path, which was caused by both tectonic and magmatic thickening. A prolonged crustal residence time is proposed for the Bamble sector before uplift during the later stages of M₄ occurred.     

Kinetics of selenomethionine disappearance from reclaimed coal mine soils of Wyoming, U.S.A.

 Selenomethionine (SeM) is an organic toxicant that is present in seleniferous environments. No kinetic data is yet available regarding SeM reactions in coal mine environments, where selenium (Se) toxicity is a potential concern. A kinetic study was conducted on two reclaimed coal mine soils (Typic Torriorthents) from Wyoming having sandy and clayey textures. Four levels of SeM treatments (0, 50, 100 μM, and plant amendment from the mine vegetation) were reacted with the soils for 4, 7, 14, 28, 42, 56, and 84 days to characterize the kinetic behavior of overall SeM disappearance from soil solutions. Detection of SeM in soil solutions at the control level (0 μM SeM) indicated occurrence of indigenous SeM in the soils. In the plant-amended soil solutions, much greater concentrations of SeM were observed as compared with the soil-only systems. This indicated the plant material was a more potential source of SeM than the mine soils. A time-dependent loss in solution SeM concentrations was observed for both soils under 0, 50, 100 μM SeM treatments. For the soil-plant mixtures, the solution SeM concentration increased initially, reached a maximum after 14 days, and then decreased thereafter. In the plant-amended soil solutions, SeM concentrations at all time intervals were higher for the sandy as compared to the clayey soil. At 50 and 100 μM SeM treatments, the solution pH was linearly related to the percentages of SeM disappeared from the solutions; greater percentage of SeM was removed from solutions at comparatively lower pH levels, which was ≥90% at pH 7.7 for both soils. Solution SeM concentrations decreased exponentially with time following first-order kinetic reactions. Under all applications (except for the control), C ₀ (SeM concentration at t=0) values for the sandy soil were greater than those determined for the clayey soil, indicating higher solution SeM availability for the former and more SeM retention by the latter at t=0. Comparison of C ₀ in controls (0 μM SeM addition) suggested greater indigenous SeM in the clayey soil. For both soils, C ₀ values under different treatments followed the order, (soil+100 μM)>(soil+50 μM)>(soil+0 μM). The specific reaction rate constants (K _r) of SeM for both soils were similar (0.031 and 0.029 day^–1 for sandy and clayey soils, respectively); low K _r values indicated that SeM loss from our reclaimed coal mine soil solutions would follow rather slow kinetics. The half-life (t _0.5) of SeM varied from 15 to 55 days depending on treatment level. The knowledge obtained from this study should contribute in developing time-based Se reclamation strategies in coal mine environments. Received: 18 September 1995 · Accepted: 28 December 1995
