桂西南晚泥盆世锰矿床锰质豆鲕粒类型及其成因探讨

桂西南锰矿赋存于上泥盆统五指山组中段,产锰矿三层,大多由锰质豆鲕粒组成。笔者研究了下雷锰矿床的锰质豆鲕粒,按其形态、结构构造和矿物成份划分为16种类型,并据①其沉积环境属断陷深水台沟相;②富集于几个矿段;③其碳酸锰矿物δC~(13)值为-6.23～-7.78‰,说明碳源于深部岩浆;④豆鲕粒由菱锰矿,蔷薇辉石、黑云母、锰铁叶蛇纹石、绿泥石、柘榴石等热液矿物组成。因此认为,锰质豆鲕粒形成于海底热气液喷溢口及其附近热水流动带,而低温滞水带不易形成豆鲕粒。     

Behaviour of iron,manganese, phosphate and humic acid during mixing in a Delaware salt marsh creek

The mixing behaviour of iron, manganese, phosphate and humic acid in a Delaware salt marsh creek was studied using field data, laboratory mixing experiments, and geochemical mass balance equations. Property-salinity diagrams for field data indicated that the removal of iron is 56–70% in the 0–10‰ salinity range. A proposed mechanism of removal is the flocculation of colloidal iron, perhaps with humic acid. Phosphate, however, undergoes 195% addition in the same low salinity region, which may be due to release of phosphate from resuspended sediments. Dissolved manganese is conserved, as is humic acid throughout the salt marsh mixing zone. Within the uncertainty of the data the maximum possible removal of humic acid is 23%.Laboratory mixing experiments that simulated salt marsh mixing along the same salinity gradient as observed in the field (5–25‰) showed only small-scale additions and removals compared to the field results. Such small-scale changes occurred largely at salinities >10‰ in the laboratory experiments, whereas most removals and additions occurred at salinities <10‰ in the field. Mixing studies also showed little difference between prefiltered and unfiltered mixes. The studies suggest that simple mixing of salt marsh waters, with or without suspended material, does not strongly influence the observed behaviour of dissolved constituents in salt marshes, and that other processes (e.g. sediment or intertidal exchange) must dominate their behaviour.     

Synthesis of todorokite by refluxing process and its primary characteristics

Todorokite is one of the common manganese ox-ides in manganese ore deposits, weathering product of manganese-bearing rocks, soils and sediments. It is also an important component in the abundant marine manganese nodules. Since todorokite was firstly found in Japanese Todoroki mine in 1934, its properties and origination have appeared to be very interesting to many researchers[1—3]. It has a stable structure similar to porous molecular sieves, constructed of triple MnO6 octahedral chains. Th…     

New evidence of extensive active mud volcanism in the Anaximander mountains (Eastern Mediterranean): The “ATHINA” mud volcano

A 3000 km² multibeam survey was carried out on the eastern Anaximander Mountains (Mts), (Eastern Mediterranean). The objective was to obtain detailed bathymetry of known mud volcanoes and identify new sites of active mud volcanism in the area. N-NW of the Amsterdam Mud-Volcano (MV) several mounds and cone-like morphological irregularities with a height of few tens of meters to about one hundred meters were detected and considered as potential MVs on the basis of their distinctive backscattered character. A group of two mounds was selected, the northern mound was sampled, documented as active, and named accordingly Athina MV. These new findings strongly support the presence of extensive active mud volcanism in the Anaximander Mountains especially in the area north of the Amsterdam MV.GEM

Evidence for microbiological manganese oxidation in the river Tamar Estuary, South West England

Water samples from the Tamar Estuary oxidized manganese when supplemented with Mn²⁺ (2 mgl⁻¹). The rates of oxidation were depressed in the presence of various metabolic inhibitors. The effect of Mn²⁺ and temperature on the rate of manganese oxidation suggested that a biological process was largely responsible for converting Mn²⁺ to Mn⁴⁺. Rates of manganese oxidation were much higher in freshwater (3·32 μgl⁻¹ h⁻¹ in water containing 30 mgl⁻¹ of suspended matter) than in saline water (0·7 μgl⁻¹ h⁻¹ in water of salinity 32‰) containing the same amount of particulate matter. The rate of manganese oxidation was proportional to the particulate load (up to 100 mgl⁻¹ particulates).     

Spectra and vegetation index variations in moss soil crust in different seasons,and in wet and dry conditions

Similar to vascular plants, non-vascular plant mosses have different periods of seasonal growth. There has been little research on the spectral variations of moss soil crust (MSC) over different growth periods. Few studies have paid attention to the difference in spectral characteristics between wet MSC that is photosynthesizing and dry MSC in suspended metabolism. The dissimilarity of MSC spectra in wet and dry conditions during different seasons needs further investigation. In this study, the spectral reflectance of wet MSC, dry MSC and the dominant vascular plant (Artemisia) were characterized in situ during the summer (July) and autumn (September). The variations in the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), biological soil crust index (BSCI) and CI (crust index) in different seasons and under different soil moisture conditions were also analyzed. It was found that (1) the spectral characteristics of both wet and dry MSCs varied seasonally; (2) the spectral features of wet MSC appear similar to those of the vascular plant, Artemisia, whether in summer or autumn; (3) both in summer and in autumn, much higher NDVI values were acquired for wet than for dry MSC (0.6 ∼ 0.7 vs. 0.3 ∼ 0.4 units), which may lead to misinterpretation of vegetation dynamics in the presence of MSC and with the variations in rainfall occurring in arid and semi-arid zones; and (4) the BSCI and CI values of wet MSC were close to that of Artemisia in both summer and autumn, indicating that BSCI and CI could barely differentiate between the wet MSC and Artemisia.

广西忻城县里苗-塘岭锰矿床控矿因素及成矿模式

广西宜州市龙头锰矿是我国石炭系锰矿的典型代表。2014~2016年,中国冶金地质总局广西地质勘查院在南丹-宜州地区开展矿产地质调查工作取得了新的突破,圈定了弄竹、塘岭找矿靶区。两个靶区经后续广西地勘资金勘查,在里苗-塘岭一带估算锰矿资源量达8000多万吨,成为我国石炭系最大的锰矿。为了揭示该矿床的成矿机制,本文从区域成矿地质背景、矿床地质特征、构造环境、岩相古地理、锰质来源、矿化富集规律等方面分析了其控矿因素,圈定了成锰盆地边界线,建立了成矿模式。认为里苗-塘岭锰矿床是受NE向同沉积断裂控制的海底热水沉积矿床,是走滑拉张断陷-含锰热水-台沟相沉积环境耦合作用的产物。
