西北太平洋多金属结核铂族元素地球化学特征

Polymetallic nodules and cobalt (Co)-rich crusts are enriched in platinum-group elements (PGEs),especially platinum (Pt) and may be important sinks of PGEs.At present,little information is available on PGEs in polymetallic nodules,and their geochemical characteristics and the causes of PGEs enrichment are unclear.Here PGEs of polymetallic nodules from abyssal basin in the Marcus-Wake Seamount area of the Northwest Pacific Ocean are reported and compared with the published PGEs data of polymetallic nodules and Co-rich crusts in the Pacific.The total PGEs (ΣPGE) content of polymetallic nodules in study area is 258×10~(–9) in average,markedly higher than that of Clarion-Clipperton Zone (CCZ) nodules (ΣPGE=127×10~(–9)) and lower than that of Co-rich crusts in the Marcus-Wake Seamount (ΣPGE=653×10~(–9)),similar to that of Co-rich crusts in the South China Sea(ΣPGE=252×10~(–9)).The CI chondrite-normalized PGEs patterns in different regions of polymetallic nodules and cobalt-rich crusts are highly consistent,with all being characterized by positive Pt and negative Pd anomalies These results,together with those of previous studies,indicate that PGEs in polymetallic nodules and Co-rich crusts are mainly derived directly from seawater.Pt contents of polymetallic nodules from the study area are negatively correlated with water depth,and Pt/ΣPGE ratios in nodules there are also lower than those of the Corich crusts in the adjacent area,indicating that sedimentary water depth and oxygen fugacity of ambient seawater are the possible important controlling factors for Pt accumulation in crusts and nodules.     

富钴结壳中成矿元素的微区分布特征及其地质意义

采用X射线荧光光谱仪,对CCLLD27站位富钴结壳中8个主要成矿元素(Mn、Fe、Co、Cu、Si、Al、Ca和Ti元素)含量的分布特征进行了微区扫描和人工分层样品方法的分析,结果表明:(1) 成矿元素Mn、Fe、Co和Cu的微区变化很大:Mn与Co元素的微区分布特征相似,而Fe和Cu元素的微区分布特征则相反.主要造岩元素Si和Al的微区分布特征基本类似;Ca元素的微区变化较大,在近底部的基岩层其含量达到最高峰值.Ti元素的微区分布特征与Mn、Co元素微区分布特征接近.(2) 微区扫描与人工分层样品两种不同测试方法所得的结果基本一致,说明微区扫描方法具有一定的可靠性,能反映富钴结壳在不同生长时代各成矿元素含量的变化特征.(3) 富钴结壳微区元素分布特征的研究,有助于对结壳不同成矿阶段各种不同成矿作用的定性评估.     

中太平洋海山富钴结壳中水羟锰矿的超结构

采自中太平洋海山富钴结壳主要由水羟锰矿组成,在XRD衍射图谱上,该矿物缺少(001)和(002)底面衍射,其原因是水羟锰矿包含了两种对称型的八面体层,即三斜对称和六方对称的八面体层,它们沿c轴方向无序排列。部分样品中的水羟锰矿在低角度区具有d>2.0nm的超结构衍射峰,它在实质上反映了矿物结构层的长程有序性,即两种层片的排列具有某种周期性或规律性。部分样品原先没有,但在加热后出现超结构衍射峰,可能是因为样品在空气中加热,使三斜层片中的Mn(III)被氧化成Mn(IV),从而转变为六方层片,继而改变了水羟锰矿的有序性。富钴结壳中水羟锰矿的超结构,在一定程度上反映了矿物形成环境的变化。     

Kr and Xe isotopic compositions of Fe-Mn crusts from the western and central Pacific Ocean and implications for their genesis

Kr and Xe nuclide abundance and isotopic ratios of the uppermost layer of Fe-Mn Crusts from the western and central Pacific Ocean have been determined. The results indicate that the Kr and Xe isotopic composi-tions, like that of He, Ne and Ar, can be classified into two types： low3He/4He type and high3He/4He type. The low3He/4He type crusts have low84Kr and132Xe abundance, while the high3He/4He type crusts have high84Kr and132Xe abundance. The82Kr/84Kr ratios of the low3He/4He type crusts are lower than that of the air, while the83Kr/84Kr and86Kr/84Kr ratios are higher than those of the air. The Kr isotopic ratios of the high-er3He/4He type crusts are quite similar to those of the air. The128Xe/132Xe,130Xe/132Xe and131Xe/132Xe ratios of the low3He/4He type sample are distinctly lower than those of the air, whereas the129Xe/132Xe,134Xe/132Xe and136Xe/132Xe ratios are higher than those of the air. The low3He/4He type samples have the diagnostic characteristics of the MORB, with excess129, 131, 132, 134, 136Xe relative to130Xe compared with the solar wind. The128Xe/132Xe,130Xe/132Xe and131Xe/132Xe ratios of the high3He/4He type samples are slightly higher than those of the air, and the129Xe/132Xe,134Xe/132Xe and136Xe/132Xe ratios are qiute similar to those of the air. The noble gases in the Fe-Mn crusts are derived from the lower mantle, and they are a mixture of lower mantle primitive component, radiogenic component and subduction recycled component. The helium isotopic ra-tios of the low mantle reservoir are predominantly controlled by primitive He （3He） and U and Th radiogenic decayed He （4He）, but the isotopic ratios of the heavier noble gases, such as Ar, Kr and Xe, are controlled to different extent by recycling of subduction components. The difference of the noble isotopic compositions of the two type crusts is the result of the difference of the noble isotopic composition of the mantle source reservoir underneath the seamounts the crusts occurred, the noble gases of the high3He/4He type crusts are     

上新世/更新世之交太平洋经向翻转流演化

随着北半球冰盖的发育,全球气候环境发生了显著变化。太平洋经向翻转流（PMOC）对全球海洋热量分配和大气CO₂在深海的封存起举足轻重的作用,但是关于PMOC与北半球冰盖的形成之间的关系还欠缺研究。本文收集了太平洋海山富钴结壳的Nd同位素记录,通过对比不同区域Nd同位素记录的演化特征,分析风尘输入、水团演化等因素对Nd同位素记录的影响,探讨了太平洋经向翻转流演化及其与全球气候变化之间的关系,认为北太平洋深层水下沉的停滞和亚洲风尘输入增加可能是导致深层水Nd同位素从距今3～4 Ma开始降低的原因。同时,因北太平洋深层水下沉停滞,PMOC改组,使得更多的CO₂在深水封存,从而对全球气候变冷和北半球冰盖形成产生了积极的贡献。
