粤北地区产铀岩体的铀矿化特征及其成矿机制探讨

粤北地区是中国花岗岩型铀矿最为重要的大型矿聚集区,其主要的产铀花岗岩体是诸广山岩体和贵东岩体,均为多期多阶段的复式岩体,主要以印支期和燕山期的花岗岩为主。粤北地区的铀矿床主要由诸广山的长江铀矿田、澜河铀矿田、鹿井铀矿田和贵东岩体的下庄铀矿田组成,根据铀的成矿特征可分为硅化带型、交点型和碱交代型。粤北地区的铀成矿流体主要来自于地幔,而不是以往认为的花岗岩浆期后热液,铀源主要是粤北产铀岩体的印支期花岗岩。因此在华南开展新一轮铀矿找矿时,跳出以往“沿带找矿”的老思路,聚焦于印支期岩浆作用与铀矿床的关系,并重点关注华南地区可能的地幔柱或热点区域。     

吐哈盆地长流水地区铀矿成矿前景分析

东昆仑造山带海德乌拉铀矿床成矿流体特征研究

东昆仑造山带海德乌拉铀矿床是近些年西北地区最新探明的与火山岩有关的独立铀矿床,该矿床的发现为东昆仑造山带探寻热液型铀矿床提供了指示意义。本文选择与海德乌拉铀矿成矿期相关的透明矿物（粉红色方解石、紫黑色萤石及石英）作为研究对象,系统地开展C- H- O同位素和流体包裹体研究,查明该矿床成矿流体的来源与性质,并探讨矿床成因。研究结果表明,海德乌拉铀矿床成矿期石英中主要为H2O气液两相包裹体,少见CO2- H2O两相包裹体;在粉红色方解石脉、紫黑色萤石脉中流体包裹体均含H2O气液两相包裹体,在粉红色方解石脉中偶见纯液相包裹体,均未见到纯气相及含固相包裹体。成矿期粉红色方解石、紫黑色萤石及石英中包裹体均一温度范围分别为133~187℃（均值163℃）、127~204℃（均值169℃）、183~287℃（均值219℃）,盐度范围分别为1. 40%~7. 02%NaCleq（均值3. 65%NaCleq）、0. 53%~3. 06%NaCleq（均值1. 26%NaCleq）、7. 17%~17. 26%NaCleq（均值为11. 46%NaCleq）。流体包裹体气相成分以H2O为主,另含少量CO2等。C- H- O同位素实验数据表明,流体中δ13CFluid- V- PDB、δDFluid- V- SMOW、δ18OFluid- V- SMOW值的变化范围分别为1. 59‰~1. 00‰、71‰~63‰、0. 03‰~3. 72‰,表明成矿流体并非单一来源,可能为大气降水与岩浆水混合来源。此外,沥青铀矿的沉淀主要是由于流体与围岩的相互反应所引起的物理化学条件变化加上流体沸腾/CO2去气,最终导致了沥青铀矿等成矿物质发生大规模的卸载与沉淀。     

Size-fractionated uranium isotopes in surface waters in the Jiulong Estuary in China

Surface water was collected from the Jiulong Estuary for determination of activity concentrations of uranium isotopes in different size fractions, namely, greater than 53, 10 -53, 2 - 10, 0.4 -2 μm, 10 000 u -0.4 μm and less than 10 000 u fractions by microfihration and cross-flow uhrafiltration technologies. Results indicated that most of the dissolved uranium （ 〈 0.4 μm） exis- ted in the low molecular mass fraction （ 〈 10 000 u）, and the colloidal uranium-238 （10 000 u -0.4 μm） only contributed less than 1% of the dissolved uranium-238. The fractions of colloidal uranium in the dissolved phases decreased with the increasing sa- linity. A positive linear relationship between uranium-238 activities and salinities was observed for the dissolved, colloidal and low molecular mass fractions, indicating a conservative behavior of uranium in the Jiulong Estuary. In the particulate phases （ 〉 0.4 μm）, the partitioning of uranium isotopes among different size fractions was controlled by the partitioning of particle concentrations. In the regions with salinities below 20, the partitioning of uranium-238 among different size fractions was as follows： 10 - 53 μm 〉 2 - 10 μm 〉 0.4 - 2 μm greater than above 53 μm. However, the order at the offshore station with salinities above 30 changed as follows ： 0.4 - 2 μm 〉 10 - 53 μm 〉 2 - 10 μm greater than above 53 μm. The fraction of the 0.4 - 2 μm particles increased at the offshore station, suggesting the increased contribution of the authigenic uranium. The activity ratio of uranium-234 to uranium-238 in the dissolved phases, including the low molecular mass fraction and the colloidal fraction, was larger than unity, showing the occurrence of excess uranium-234. In contrast, the activity ratio of uranium-234 to uranium-238 in all size fractions of the particulate phase was close to the equilibrium value （1.0）. The observed different values of the activity ratio of uranium-234 to uranium-238 in the dissolved phase and the partic     

甘肃省207铀矿及富铀岩体特征研究

207铀矿体呈透镜状、扁豆状、似脉状成群出现。赋矿围岩为前长系龙首山群黑云斜长片麻岩和黑云片岩,该类岩石比区域上同类岩石铀含量高,平均U含量为2.36×10-6～4.83×10-6,与伟晶状白岗岩之间的混染带是铀矿赋存的有利空间。铀矿化产于中条期形态不规则的伟晶状白岗岩岩株中,该岩体铀丰度较高,钍/铀低,活性铀多,副矿物少,富碱。富铀伟晶状白岗岩岩体副矿物以黄铁矿为主,总量较低,微量元素含量不高。是至今在甘肃西部及邻区花岗岩岩体中唯一见到稍多晶质铀矿的岩体,也是至今在甘肃西部及邻区花岗岩岩体中铀丰度最高,Th∕U最低的岩体。富矿岩石伟晶状白岗岩在成岩过程时也发生成矿作用,属成岩同期成矿。     

从铀系列同位素角度探讨砂岩型铀矿的形成过程及找矿标志

本文通过对512矿床含矿层不同地段铀系列同位素研究,对砂岩型铀矿的形成过程及找矿标志进行了探讨,根据矿卷前锋铀系列同位素组成分布规律和含矿层不同氧化还原分带中样品铀系列同位素分布特征,认为砂岩型铀矿含矿层岩石的铀系列同位素组成分区特征不仅可以记录铀富集的滚动成矿过程,而且可以作为预测铀矿化的重要找矿标志依据,A区应定名为"氧化还原矛盾区"较为合适.     

层间氧化带砂岩型铀矿稀土元素变化规律初探——以伊犁和吐鲁番-哈密盆地为例

本文以发育层间氧化带砂岩型铀矿的伊犁、吐鲁番—哈密盆地为例,详细研究了成矿层间氧化带稀土元素的分布特征和稀土元素在层间氧化作用中的变化规律。通过与北美页岩、还原带原生砂岩的对比,研究了稀土元素在不同氧化分带中的变化情况,结果表明在层间氧化作用过程中,稀土元素在总体亏损的背景上发生了明显的分异,LREE从氧化带到过渡带含量逐步降低,HREE由氧化带到过渡带趋于富集;δCe由氧化带到过渡带随氧化作用的减弱降低,δEu则逐步升高,呈现与表生风化作用相同的变化规律,较好地指示了层间氧化带中氧化—还原环境的变化。虽然稀土元素存在一定的迁移变化,但没有中亚砂岩铀矿床出现的REE显著迁移,高度富集现象。     

新疆哈密大南湖地区层间氧化带特征研究

新疆大南湖地区的层间氧化带发育层位为中侏罗统西山窑组第二、三岩性段砂砾岩,以褐黄色为主;层间氧化带具多层性,埋深31～343 m,厚度2～138 m;层间氧化带分为氧化带、氧化-还原过渡带和原生带;铀矿体主产于氧化-还原过渡带中;新构造运动形成的最终构造格架控制了层间氧化带的发育方向和基本形态,不同粒度且非致密结构的砂砾岩和冲积扇相、辫状河相沉积则决定层间氧化带发育的厚度和规模,由南向北流的承压地下水造成区内层间氧化带前锋线呈向北延伸的趋势.     

Granite gneiss basement on Flinders Island,South Australia

A U–Pb zircon age of 1762 ± 11 Ma is reported for granite gneiss located on Flinders Island, South Australia. This age is identical, within analytical uncertainty, to a previously reported age for schists of the Price Metasediments located 100 km to the southeast on the southwestern coast of the Eyre Peninsula. The outcrop represents the only known country rock to the Early Mesoproterozoic Calca Granite (Hiltaba Suite) of Flinders Island, the largest island of the Investigator Group of islands, in the southwestern Gawler Craton. The stratigraphic name Investigator Granite Gneiss is proposed for this rock unit. The discovery of the Investigator Granite Gneiss now considerably increases the extent of known Late Palaeoproterozoic rocks on the eastern side of the peninsula. The outcrop was previously included with the considerably younger St Peter Suite granite‐monzogranite, and grouped together with other islands in the Investigator Group. This new dating suggests that the geology on the other islands may require revision. For the first time, detailed major and trace‐element geochemistry is supplied for the granite gneiss on Flinders Island.     

SHRIMP U–Pb geochronology of authigenic xenotime and its potential for dating sedimentary basins

SHRIMP (Sensitive High‐Resolution Ion MicroProbe) analytical procedures have been developed to enable dating of the small, early diagenetic xenotime overgrowths that commonly occur on zircons in siliciclastic sedimentary rocks. The method will be particularly useful in Precambrian terranes, where diagenetic xenotime dating could play a role equivalent to biostratigraphic dating in the Phanerozoic. Reliable ²⁰⁷Pb/²⁰⁶Pb data are more readily obtained than ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U, which also favours application to the Precambrian. However, it is demonstrated that ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U dating of larger overgrowths (>10 μm) is also viable and applicable to Phanerozoic samples. SHRIMP Pb/Pb geochronology of authigenic xenotime in an unmetamorphosed Palaeoproterozoic sandstone in the Kimberley Basin has constrained diagenesis to a precision of ± 7 Ma. In contrast, greenschist‐facies metasediments of the Archaean Witwatersrand Basin, South Africa, contain both authigenic and alteration xenotime that record a complex history of growth from early diagenesis to the last major thermal event to affect the basin.
