Experimental study on weathering of seafloor volcanic glass by bacteria (Pseudomonas fluorescens) – Implications for the contribution of bacteria to the water–rock reaction at the Mid-Oceanic Ridge setting

The biologically mediated weathering of the ocean crust has received increasing attention in recent decades, but the rates and the possible mechanism of elemental release during microbe–basalt interactions occurring below the seafloor have not been studied in detail. In this study, we established an experimental weathering study of seafloor natural basaltic glass comparing the effect of microbial activity (Pseudomonas fluorescens) in P-rich and P-poor media with parallel controls containing either nonviable cells or organic acid. The changes in the chemical parameters, including pH, bacterial densities, and ion concentrations (Ca, Mg, Si, Mn, Al, Fe, and P) in the solution, were examined during the different batch experiments. The results showed that the pH decreased from 7.0 to 3.5 and the bacterial density increased from 10⁵ to 10⁸ cells/ml during the first 120 h, and the cell numbers remained constant at 10⁸ cells/ml and the pH increased from 3.5 to 6 between 120 h and 864 h in the P-bearing reactors containing bacteria. In contrast, during all the experimental time, the pH remained close to neutral condition in the abiotic control systems and the dissolution rates increased markedly with a decrease in pH and became minimal at near-neutral pH in P-bearing reactors containing bacteria, where Ca, Si, and Mg release rates were 2- to 4-fold higher than those obtained in chemical systems and biotic P-limited systems. Furthermore, the surfaces of the natural volcanic glass from the biotic systems were colonized by bacteria. Simultaneously, the etch pits were observed by Scanning Electron Microscope, which further indicate that the bacteria may promote the mineral dissolution for energy gain. Some elements (e.g., Fe, Mn, and Al) releasing from natural volcanic glass are likely an important source of the elemental budget in the ocean, and thus the element release and its possible mechanism conducted in this experimental study have potential implications on the biogeochemical cycling process in the Mid-Oceanic Ridge setting.

熔融制样X射线荧光光谱法测定铜矿石中16种主次量元素

铜矿石类型繁多,矿石赋存状态各异,成分复杂。在现有的铜矿石熔融制样X射线荧光光谱（XRF）分析方法中,选取标准物质个数和矿石类型少、分析范围宽,与实际样品类型相差太大,且制备的熔融片质量不高。本文选用铜含量既有良好浓度变化范围,又符合铜矿石常见含量的包括铜金银铅锌钼铜镍等各类矿石的24个标准物质,以四硼酸锂-偏硼酸锂-氟化锂为混合熔剂,熔剂与样品质量比为30：1,以溴化锂为脱模剂,改进样品预处理方式,将通常采用样品预氧化后或熔融中加入脱模剂的方式,改进为加入脱模剂后再用混合熔剂完全覆盖的方法制备了高质量的熔融片,建立了XRF测定铜矿石中铜锌铅硅铝铁钛锰钙钾镁钼铋锑钴镍16种元素的分析方法。分析铜矿石国家标准物质GBW 07164、GBW 07169,各元素的精密度（RSD）为0.1%~5.4%。分析国家标准物质GBW 07163（多金属矿石）、GBW 07170（铜矿石）的测定值与标准值相符;分析实际铜矿石样品,铜锌铅钼铋锑钴镍的测试结果与电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法和其他方法的测定值相符。本文方法扩大了基体的适应性,提高了实际应用价值。     

长乐-南澳构造带燕山期(J-K)TTG岩石组合及其地质意义

长乐-南澳构造带火成岩类多年来备受国内外地学界关注和瞩目,但对其构造环境的认识却存在较大分歧.本文通过分析构造带燕山期(J-K)火成岩类的时空分布、岩石学特征及其TTG岩石组合等,讨论厘定构造带的构造性质与岩浆源区.据构造带花岗岩类岩石结构构造特征、锆石SHRIMP U-Pb与LA-ICP-MS U-Pb同位素定年,测年结果集中分布于200~191Ma、155~97Ma与84~69Ma三个区间,暗示构造带燕山期(J-K)岩浆活动可以划分为三个阶段:(1)早侏罗世(J₁),以片麻岩类与糜棱岩类为主;(2)晚侏罗世-早白垩世(J₃-K₁),片麻状花岗岩类占优势;(3)晚白垩世(K₂),出现大量的晶洞花岗岩类与脉岩类.采用O'Connor An-Ab-Or标准矿物分类方案识别TTG岩石组合获知,早侏罗世(J₁)与晚侏罗世-早白垩世(J₃-K₁)时,构造带存在TTG岩石组合;晚白垩世(K₂)时,构造带TTG岩石组合消失,发育典型的双峰式火成岩.TTG岩石组合以钙性(C)和中钾钙碱性(MKCA)为主,显示奥长花岗岩演化趋势(Tdj),具大陆边缘弧花岗岩(CAG)的特征,由此可推断长乐-南澳构造带燕山期(J-K)构造性质为主动大陆边缘弧.构造带发育两类成因机制的TTG岩石组合,分别来自不同的岩浆源区:具镁安山质(MA)性质的TTG岩浆来源于玄武质洋壳的脱水融熔,具正常安山质(A)性质的TTG岩浆来源于陆壳底部玄武质岩石的局部熔融.

北山地区中生代岩浆活动与成矿构造背景分析

中亚造山带是古亚洲洋演化与最终消亡的产物。北山地区处于该造山带中段南部,是中国重要的铜、钼、金、铁多金属成矿带。北山地区在晚古生代—早中生代曾发生过2次碰撞造山作用,一次发生于晚古生代末,与古亚洲洋的最终闭合有关;另一次发生于早中生代三叠纪,与北山南带发育的石炭纪一二叠纪裂谷封闭有关。因此,从时间演化看,中生代三叠纪北山地区为碰撞-碰撞后造山阶段,发育大规模剪切带和强烈的岩浆活动及伴生的金属成矿作用。北山地区中生代岩浆活动以深成侵入相发育并缺失相应的喷出相为特征;岩石类型以中酸性侵入岩为主,基性侵入岩局部可见,S、I、A型花岗岩均有产出。与中生代岩浆活动有关的矿床类型主要包括与I-A型花岗岩伴生的斑岩钼矿床、与S型花岗岩伴生的钨(锡)矿床、与中酸性侵入体有关的矽卡岩型金、银铜铅锌多金属矿床和与中酸性侵入体有关并受剪切带控制的金矿床。中生代印支期是该地区最晚一次大规模岩浆活动与金属成矿时期,其发育的范围、规模和强度均比原来认识的要广泛的多,值得进一步关注。     

大洋洲斐济群岛的成矿地质背景、矿床类型及成矿期划分

斐济群岛具有厚而年轻的硅镁质地壳,其成矿作用与构造演化有着密切的联系。斐济群岛的地层主要由新生代海底碎屑型火山岩及相关沉积岩组成。碳酸盐岩和在中-晚中新世一次重要的构造运动中侵入的辉长岩-英云闪长岩质的深成岩也很发育。斐济群岛的矿床类型包括各种块状硫化物型矿床、斑岩型铜金矿、夕卡岩型铜多金属矿、浅成低温热液型金矿、沉积型锰矿、残积矿床、砂矿床等。斐济群岛的成矿期有4个不同的阶段（时期）,这些阶段（时期）与构造运动紧密相关,反映了纵贯斐济群岛的各种矿化类型的空间和时间分布特征。     

高原季节转换时期大气环流变化特征

利用1961～ 2007年NCEP/NCAR的再分析逐日资料,分析高原主体上空大气环流的季节变化和受到高原影响的东亚大型环流系统的季节变化,以此证明本文得到的“高原普适性划分方法”的合理性.得到的初步结论概括如下：高原主体上空的位势高度、风场、高空温度、降水的季节变化和高原普适性季节划分方法划分的高原四季变化一致,高原南亚高压、副热带高压、副热带西风急流的三个特征指数季节变化和高原普适性季节划分方法划分的高原四季变化一致,这些结论都说明高原普适性季节划分方法划分的高原四季是合理的;风场季节率（500hPa、100hPa）显著区随高度升高向赤道靠近,风场季节率的变化主要和东亚季风的变化有关,大气环流系统季节率的显著说明了大气环流的季节变化,同时也证明了高原普适性季节划分方法的合理性.     

SIMULATING THE RESPONSE OF NON-UNIFORMITY OF PRECIPITATION EXTREMES OVER CHINA TO CO2 INCREASING BY MIROC_HIRES MODEL

The response of non-uniformity of precipitation extremes over China to doubled CO2has been analyzed using the daily precipitation simulated by a coupled general circulation model,MIROC_Hires.The major conclusions are as follows:under the CO2increasing scenario(SRES A1B),the climatological precipitation extremes are concentrated over the southern China,while they are uniformly distributed over the northern China.For interannual variability,the concentration of precipitation extremes is small over the southern China,but it is opposite over the northern China.The warming effects on the horizontal and vertical scales are different over the northern and southern part of China.Furthermore,the atmospheric stability is also different between the two parts of China.The heterogeneous warming is one of the possible reasons for the changes in non-uniformity of precipitation extremes over China.
