胶州湾东部和青岛前海表层沉积物重金属分布特征及其对比研究

根据2003年对胶州湾东部和青岛前海2008年奥运赛场海域表层沉积物中重金属、有机碳和硫化物的调查结果表明:研究区的重金属(As除外)高含量主要分布在团岛污水处理厂,大港出口北侧至李村河口沿岸一带。作者通过与胶州湾周围岩体、地层和松散沉积物中重金属的平均含量比较以及重金属与环境因子有机碳、硫化物的相关分析,证明了研究区的重金属污染主要来自于工业和生活污水的排放,并且重金属与硫化物的物源不尽相同。作者发现由于胶州湾的潮流作用模式使胶州湾东部排入的污染物向西扩散的可能性削弱,是胶州湾东部污染严重的一个自然因素。同时由于胶州湾东部的部分污染物经由沧口水道搬运到青岛前海的退潮三角洲区域而出现局部高值区,其中沉积物中的Cr和Cu已有超标现象,应引起重视。     

Morphotectonics, Volcanism and Hydrothermal Activity on the East Pacific Rise between 21°12′ S and 22°40′ S

The morphotectonic setting of the East Pacific Rise (EPR) between21°12 and 22°40 S and its recent and past hydrothermalactivity were the focus of the Russian R/V Geolog Fersmans expeditionin 1987–1988.The EPR axial zone in the study area is comprised of three segmentsseparated by overlapping spreading centers (OSCs) near 21°44 and22°08 S. The northern segment is the shallowest of three and hasa distinct massive axial ridge, trapeziodal in cross-section, toppedby a very wide flat summit surface and cut by a well-developedcentral graben. These features testify to intense magmatism and to avoluminous crustal magmatic chamber underlying the whole segment.Fine-scale segmentation is most clearly revealed in the structure ofthe central graben within which several 4th-order segments can bedistinguished. This scale of segmentation is also reflected on flanks of theaxis by variations in the character and intensity of faulting.According to structural and petrologic data, the magmatism is mostintense in the central part of the segment which is probably locateddirectly over a magmatic diapir supplying the melt to the whole segment.Magma migration at the subcrustal level from the center towards the ends ofthe segment with discrete injection into the crustal magmatic chamber ispresumed.The central segment is broken into two morphologically distinct partsseparated by a deval. In the subsided northern part, the wide summit of theaxial ridge is cut by a well-developed, intensely fractured axialgraben. In the southern part, the axial ridge is relatively elevated, butnarrow with an ephemeral graben along its crest. The character and intensityof faulting on the axial flanks are also considerably different in thenorthern and southern parts of the segment. Thus, the magmatic supply tothese two parts is thought to originate from two different sources. If so,then at present the magma chamber underlying the southern part of thesegment is probably at the stage of replenishment, while in the north it isat the stage of deep cooling.The southern segment is structurally similar to the central one. Howeverthere is considerably less intensive magmatic activity in this region,especially south of 22°30 S where the axial ridge is narrow, andtriangular in cross-section.Both OSCs studied are marked by abrupt narrowing and sharp subsidence ofthe tips of axial ridges within the northern limbs. The southern OSC limbsare morphologically similar to normal sections of axial ridges. In bothcases the flanks are structurally and morphologically disrupted adjacent tothe OSCs and oblique structures can be traced far southward of the OSCflanks. Due to the spatial position of oblique structures on the the flanksit is presumed that the OSC near 22°07 S is migrating northward.The 21°44 S OSC zone has apparently undergone small spatialoscillations. In spite of the small amplitude of lateral displacement, thiszone is marked by prominent bathymetric anomalies.Numerous massive sulfide deposits were discovered atop the axial ridgealong the entire length of the uplifted and hydrothermally active northernsegment. Ore metal concentrations in near-bottom waters are maximumover the southern part of the northern segment, while maximum concentrationsof the same metals in surficial sediments are confined to the central partof the same segment. We surmise that there has been a recentalong-axis shift of the zone of maximum hydrothermal activity fromthe middle of the segment to its present position in the southern part ofthe segment. Considering sedimentation rates, the age of this shift can beapproximately estimated to be 5 to 10 thousand years before the present.The relatively Mg-enriched basalts of the middle part of thenorthern segment represent a tike of a more primitive pattern, while therelatively Fe-rich rocks of its southern part probably reflect alarge degree of fractionation at shallow crustal levels. Considering thistrend, in addition to morphotectonic data we presume that subaxial magmaflow from the middle to the southern part of the segment is responsible forthe along-axis shift of hydrothermal activity.In the central segment of the study area, massive sulfides have only beendiscovered south of the 21°55 S deval, where the axial ridgeshoals and where the existence of a subjacent magma chamber is presumed.The very weak manifestations of recent volcanism within the southernsegment explain the absence of hydrothermal activity and sulfide depositswithin this segment.

运用正交函数拟合预测新疆阿舍勒地区块状硫化物矿床

新疆阿舍勒块状硫化物铜锌矿床,是一个正在勘探的大型富铜矿床,矿体呈厚大透镜状,具层控特征,矿体和围岩之间密度差较大。地面重力方法,理应是最有效的勘探方法,但是,由于阿舍勒矿区地质构造过分复杂,地下不同深度的多种密度体叠合在一起,往往掩盖了矿体所产生的重力异常。为了解决这个疑难问题,通过研究,选择适当的正交函数去进行拟合,实现目标信息分离,将成矿层位的重力异常从实测重力异常值中分离出来,勾绘出了矿区线状构造成矿带的轮廓,揭示了矿区构造;指出找矿方向,圈出１１个重力异常,根据矿区矿石的最低密度大于围岩最高密度的实事,可以说：“凡有矿的地方必然显示出重力异常”。故使用本方法处理重力资料,在阿舍勒这类矿区,可具直接找矿效果。     

Emissions of marine biogenic sulfur to the atmosphere of northern Europe

Measurements of DMS and other reduced sulfur compounds in surface waters have been carried out from a helicopter in the seas surrounding Scandinavia. Average summer time concentrations of DMS ranged from 70 to 150 ngS L^-1. Simultaneous measurements of biological and physical parameters revealed no correlation between DMS and phytoplankton species, species assemblages, total phytoplankton biomass, chlorophyll a, temperature, and salinity. The only exception was a correlation between DMS concentration, Chrysochromulina spp. belonging to the Prymnesiophyceae, and salinity over a narrow range of salinity in the Baltic Sea.The flux of reduced sulfur to the atmosphere in July in this region is estimated to be 120–170 gS m^-2 d^-1 from the Baltic, 240–810 in the Kattegat/Skagerrak, and 120–690 in the North Sea. Annual fluxes are roughly 100 times higher than these daily fluxes. On an annual basis, biogenic sulfur emissions from the coastal seas are negligible (<1%) compared to the anthropogenic emissions in northern Europe. However, during the summer months, the biogenic sulfur emissions from the seas surrounding the Scandinavian peninsula are estimated to be as high as 20–70% of the anthropogenic emissions in Scandinavia. This makes it of interest to incorporate the biogenic emissions in calculations of long-range transport and deposition of sulfur within the region.Other volatile sulfur species, mainly methyl mercaptan, contribute about 10% of the total flux of reduced sulfur. Estimated fluxes of CS₂ to the atmosphere ranged from 1 gS m^-2 d^-1 in the Baltic Sea to 6 gS m^-2 d^-1 in the North Sea. No emissions for H₂S or COS were detected.     

Influence of metal oxides in the colorimetric determination of acid volatile sulfide in sediments

The sediment of Lagoa dos Patos‐MS, Brazil, was investigated to verify the influence of metal sulfides and oxyhydroxides of Mn and Fe on the heavy metal availability. The spectrophotometric method of methylene blue was used, with 8 interlinked tubes containing the samples with SnCl₂, where N₂ was introduced to release the H₂S extracted with 6.0 mol L^–1 HCl, and trapped in 0.05 M NaOH solution. The influence of SO₄^2–, Mn(IV) and Fe(III) oxyhydroxides was investigated with samples constituted by a mixture of MnO₂; Na₂SO₄; FeCl₃, and sediments. The presence of SnCl₂ was very important to avoid the interferences of iron and manganese oxyhydroxides. The method of standard addition was applied and the efficiency was (100.8 ± 9.4)%. The ratio among the quantities of metals potentially available and the acid volatile sulfide (AVS) indicate that the system presents small metals availability to the benthic community, by the existence of sulfide capable to immobilize the metal as insoluble sulfide.     

DMS and SO2 Measurements in the Tropical Marine Boundary Layer

Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂) mixing ratios were measured in the boundary layer on Oahu, Hawaii in April and May 2000. Average DMS and SO₂ levels were 22 ± 7 (n = 488) pmol/mol and 23 ± 7 (n = 471) pmol/mol respectively. Anti-correlated DMS and SO₂ diurnal cycles, consistent with DMS + OH oxidation were observed on most days. Photochemical box model simulations suggest that the yield of SO₂ and total SO₂ sink are ∼85% and ∼2 × 10⁴ molec cm^{− 3} s^{− 1} respectively. On several days the rate of decrease in DMS and increase in SO₂ levels in the early morning were larger that predicted by the model. Dynamical and chemical causes for the anomalous early morning data are explored.     

新疆昆仑式火山岩型块状硫化物铜矿床及成矿地质环境

新疆西昆仑奥依塔克-恰尔隆拗陷带内阿克塔什-萨落依成矿带发现多处火山岩型块状硫化物铜矿床。这些矿床产在石炭系双峰式火山岩系之内，沿着下石炭统基性火山岩和上石炭统酸性火山岩两个层位产出，分别以玄武岩和流纹岩为容矿主岩，可以明显地分成基性火山岩型和酸性火山岩型两种类型。矿石主成矿元素均以铜为主，含少量的锌，几乎不含铅，矿床类型属于铜型。这些基性火山岩型和酸性火山岩型矿床被统称为昆仑式火山岩型块状硫化物铜矿床。根据矿床产出地质环境、双峰式火山岩系、沉积建造以及火山岩地球化学特征，推断昆仑式火山岩型块状硫化物铜矿床最可能形成于泥盆纪-石炭纪弧后拉张构造环境。     

铜陵矿集区铜金矿床叠加改造过程中的排金效应

通过对铜陵地区各矿田内的矿床的观察发现，它们均含铜、金，但各矿床含铜、金的差异性比较大。该区海西期同生沉积的SEDEX型块状硫化物矿床和燕山期岩浆热液矿床的成矿物质来源具有二元性。在峙门口(铜金)硫铁矿、水竹岭金铜矿和虎山金矿(牛山硫铁矿)等较为典型的海西期块状硫化物矿床中，可圈出独立的金(铜)矿体；以凤凰山铜矿田、小金山金矿、笠帽山金矿等为典型代表的燕山期岩浆热液矿床，也具有较高的金、铜品位，可形成工业矿体。但无论是海西期同生沉积矿床还是燕山期岩浆热液矿床，规模都比较小。有些矿床尽管存在海西期同生沉积成矿作用和燕山期岩浆热液成矿作用，但铜、金分配明显不同，品位差异悬殊。导致水平方向或垂直方向上铜、金分配差异的原因可归结为矿床叠加改造过程中的温度场控制的“排金效应”，形成“下铜上金”、“内铜外金”(储国正等，1992)的矿床分布格局。     

Subsea-floor replacement in volcanic-hosted massive sulfide deposits

Recent research on volcanic-hosted massive sulfide (VMS) deposits indicates that syngenetic subsea-floor replacement ores form an important component of many deposits. In the context of VMS deposits, subsea-floor replacement can be defined as the syn-volcanic formation of sulfide minerals within pre-existing volcanic or sedimentary deposits by infiltration and precipitation in open spaces (fractures, inter- and intra-granular porosity) as well as replacement of solid materials.There are five criteria for distinguishing subsea-floor replacement in massive sulfide deposits: (1) mineralized intervals are enclosed within rapidly emplaced volcanic or sedimentary facies (lavas, intrusions, subaqueous mass-flow deposits, pyroclastic fallout); (2) relics of the host facies occur within the mineral deposit; (3) replacement fronts occur between the mineral deposit and the host lithofacies; (4) the mineral deposit is discordant to bedding; and (5) strong hydrothermal alteration continues into the hanging wall without an abrupt break in intensity. Criteria 1–3 are diagnostic of replacement, whereas criteria 4 and 5 may suggest replacement but are not alone diagnostic. Because clastic sulfide ores contain accessory rock fragments collected by the parent sediment gravity flow(s) during transport, criteria 2 can only be applied to massive, semi-massive, disseminated or vein style deposits, and not clastic ores.The spectrum of VMS deposit types includes deposits that have accumulated largely subsea-floor, and others in which sedimentation and volcanism were synchronous with hydrothermal activity, and precipitation of sulfides occurred at and below the sea floor over the life of the hydrothermal system. Deposits that formed largely subsea-floor are mainly hosted by syn-eruptive or post-eruptive volcaniclastic facies (gravity flow deposits, water-settled fall, autoclastic breccia). However, some subsea-floor replacement VMS deposits are hosted by lavas and syn-volcanic intrusions (sills, domes, cryptodomes). Burial of sea-floor massive sulfide by lavas or sediment gravity flow deposits can interrupt sea-floor mineralization and promote subsea-floor replacement and zone-refining.The distance below the sea floor at which infiltration and replacement took place is rarely well constrained, with published estimates ranging from less than 1 to more than 500 m, but mainly in the range 10–200 m. The upper few tens to hundreds of metres in the volcano-sedimentary pile are the favoured position for replacement, as clastic facies are wet, porous and poorly consolidated in this zone, and at greater depths become progressively more compacted, dewatered, altered, and less amenable to large scale infiltration and replacement by hydrothermal fluids. Furthermore, sustained mixing between the upwelling hydrothermal fluid and cold seawater is regarded as a major cause of sulfide precipitation in VMS systems, and this mixing process generally becomes less effective with increasing depth in the volcanic pile.The relative importance of subsea-floor replacement in VMS systems is related principally to four factors: the permeability and porosity patterns of host lithofacies, sedimentation rate, the relative ease of replacement of host lithofacies (especially glassy materials) and early formed alteration minerals during hydrothermal attack, and physiochemical characteristics of the hydrothermal fluid.
