锑的地球化学行为以及锑同位素研究进展

火山和成矿地质现象表明硼可以在含水流体和气体中运移,本文应用离子选择电极法测定水热气体中硼的溶解度,以揭示硼的气态迁移能力。使用氟硼酸盐选择电极,测定了经氟硼酸化的硼酸标准溶液和含硼气体凝结水的电位,当硼含量处于地质流体的主要范围内（0.52～524.50 mg/L）时,电极电位与硼浓度的对数呈现出灵敏度很高的能斯特线性关系,标准曲线具有很好的稳定性和重现性。本方法测定硼的检出限为0.13 mg/L,低于饮用水标准规定的硼含量限值,适用于测定水热气体中的硼含量。硼酸挥发实验显示,硼在150℃、0.37 MPa水蒸气中的含量可达0.65%～0.72%,与富硼火山喷气的硼含量相符,显示硼在高温水热条件下可在气相中显著迁移,且H₃BO₃气态分子是硼的主要迁移形式之一。矿床地质特征和实验表明,硼的气态迁移和电气石化与稀有金属型伟晶岩的形成和矿化以及某些热液-气成型Sn-W、Mo矿床和斑岩型Cu、Au矿床的形成密切相关。     

A review of Australian salt lakes and associated mineral systems

This study reviews the available information for over 1200 Australian salt lakes including in areas that have little or unreliable data. Publicly available groundwater hydrogeochemical datasets for the Australian arid zone are particularly sparse, inconsistent and of variable quality. Many datasets in the vicinity of salt lakes only report salinity or total dissolved solids, with no data for constituent cations and anions, and no appreciation of the hydrological and geomorphic evolution of the lakes. To overcome these limitations and to provide a broad-scale context, we developed mineral systems models to assess the potential of Australian salt lakes for potash, lithium and boron deposits. These models show that an important control on the potential of salt lake systems to form economic deposits of potash, lithium or boron is hydrogeological connectivity between leachable source rocks and the lakes. The assessment of the mineral potential was carried out in two stages. The first stage selection was based on the presence of favourable source rocks in the salt lakes’ catchments. The mean values of concentration in each catchment were derived from whole rock, sediment and groundwater geochemical datasets by averaging the values in samples (separately for each of the three datasets) located in the catchment and assigning this value to the catchment's salt lakes. The second stage selection was carried out by analysing available chemical data of groundwater in proximity to the salt lake systems delineated in the first stage. As a result, six regions were identified as having the highest potential, for potash in particular, but also for lithium and/or boron deposits. These are: the Lake Frome/Central Gawler Region of South Australia; two regions in the Northern Territory: the central western region extending into Western Australia, and the Lake Woods region; and, in Western Australia, the Lake Disappointment region, the north east Yilgarn and south east Yilgarn regions.     

Boron isotopic fractionation in laboratory inorganic carbonate precipitation: evidence for the incorporation of B(OH)<Subscript>3</Subscript> into carbonate

A laboratory inorganic carbonate precipitation experiment at high pH of 8.96 to 9.34 was conducted, and the boron isotopic fractionations of the precipitated carbonate were measured. The data show that boron isotopic fractionation factors (α_carb-3) between carbonate and B(OH)₃ in seawater range 0.937 and 0.965, with an average value of 0.953. Our results together with those reported by Sanyal and collaborators show that the α_carb-3 values between carbonate and B(OH)₃ in solution are not constant but are negatively correlated with the pH of seawater. The measured boron isotopic compositions of carbonate precipitation (δ¹¹B_carb) do not exactly lie on the best-fit theoretical δ¹¹B₄-pH curves and neither do they exactly parallel any theoretical δ¹¹B₄-pH curves. Therefore, it is reasonable to argue that a changeable proportion of B(OH)₃ with pH of seawater should also be incorporated into carbonate except for the dominant incorporation of B(OH)₄ ⁻ in carbonate. Hence, in the reconstruction of the paleo-pH of seawater from boron isotopes in marine biogenic carbonates, the use of theoretical boron isotopic fractionation factor (α₄₋₃) between B(OH)₄ ⁻ and B(OH)₃ is not suitable. Instead, an empirical equation should be established.

电气石中硼的溶出机制初探

电气石是一种以含硼为特征的硅酸盐矿物,矿物中硼含量在2.78%~3.4%之间,但电气石中的硼被束缚在稳定的晶体结构中难以溶出而被植物吸收,从而影响电气石中硼在农业上的应用。本文通过一系列实验与检测分析,对电气石中硼的溶出机制进行了研究,发现＂高温煅烧十活化剂＂相结合的方法能有效地将电气石中硼的溶出,并初步选定Na2CO3为理想的活化剂,为开发电气石硼肥奠定了理论基础。

Tourmaline breakdown in the migmatite zone of the Ryoke metamorphic belt,SW Japan

A sharp line delimitating the distribution of tourmaline (termed as a ‘tourmaline‐out isograd’) is defined in the migmatite zone of the Ryoke metamorphic belt, Japan. The trend of the tourmaline‐out isograd closely matches that of the isograds formed through the regional metamorphism, suggesting that it represents the breakdown front of tourmaline during regional metamorphism. This is confirmed by the presence of the reaction textures of tourmaline to sillimanite and cordierite near the tourmaline‐out isograd. The breakdown of tourmaline would release boron into associated melts or fluids and be an important factor in controlling the behaviour of boron in tourmaline‐bearing high‐temperature metamorphic rocks. Near the tourmaline‐out isograd, large tourmaline crystals occur in the centre of interboudin partitions containing leucosome. In the melanosome of the intervening matrix, reaction textures involving tourmaline are locally observed. These observations imply that tourmaline breakdown is related to a melting reaction and that the boron in the leucosome is derived from the breakdown of tourmaline in the melanosome during prograde metamorphism. Boron released by tourmaline breakdown lowers both the solidus temperature of the rock and the viscosity of any associated melt. Considering that the tourmaline‐out isograd lies close to the schist–migmatite boundary, these effects might have enhanced melt generation and segregation in the migmatite zone of the Ryoke belt. The evidence for the breakdown of tourmaline and the almost complete absence of any borosilicates throughout the migmatite zone suggest that boron was effectively removed from this region by the movement of melt and/or fluid. This implies that the tourmaline‐out isograd can reflect a significant amount of mass transfer in the anatectic zones.     

Accurate and High‐Precision Determination of Boron Isotopic Ratios at Low Concentration by MC‐ICP‐MS (Neptune)

We report an approach for the accurate and reproducible measurement of boron isotope ratios in natural waters using an MC‐ICP‐MS (Neptune) after wet chemistry sample purification. The sample matrix can induce a drastic shift in the isotopic ratio by changing the mass bias. It is shown that, if no purification is carried out, the direct measurement of a seawater diluted one hundred times will induce an offset of ?7‰ in the isotopic ratio, and that, for the same concentration, the greater the atomic mass of the matrix element, the greater the bias induced. Whatever the sample, it is thus necessary to remove the matrix. We propose a method adapted to water samples allowing purification of 100 ng of boron with a direct recovery of boron in 2 ml of 3% v/v HNO₃, which was our working solution. Boron from the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA‐B1 seawater reference material and from the two groundwater reference materials IAEA‐B2 and IAEA‐B3, was chemically purified, as well as boron from the certified reference material NIST SRM 951 as a test. The reproducibility of the whole procedure (wet chemistry and MC‐ICP‐MS measurement) was ± 0.4‰ (2s). Accuracy was verified by comparison with positive‐TIMS values and with recommended values. Seawater, being homogeneous for boron isotope ratios, is presently the only natural water material that is commonly analysed for testing accuracy worldwide. We propose that the three IAEA natural waters could be used as reference samples for boron isotopes, allowing a better knowledge of their isotopic ratios, thus contributing to the certification of methods and improving the quality of the boron isotopic ratio measurements for all laboratories.
