下地幔温压下(Mg, Fe)SiO3钙钛矿的相稳定性

在69～100 GPa冲击压力(估算温度为2600～4300 K)范围内进行了初始样品为(Mg0.92, Fe0.08)SiO3顽火辉石和MgO+SiO2的冲击压缩回收实验。对回收样品进行的X射线衍射(XRD)分析结果表明: 两发顽火辉石回收样品的主相均是单链状结构硅酸盐, 而非钙钛矿结构; 另外, 回收样品中均未观察到氧化物SiO2 和(Mg0.92, Fe0.08)O的XRD特征谱线; 两发MgO+SiO2回收样品中均观察到SiO2和镁橄榄石(Mg2SiO4)而没有氧化物MgO。实验结果表明: 在冲击压缩过程中样品处于钙钛矿结构, 在冲击卸载过程中样品发生了由钙钛矿结构向单链状结构的逆转相变; 在实验的温压范围内, 不可能发生由(Mg0.92, Fe0.08)SiO3向SiO2和(Mg0.92, Fe0.08)O的化学分解相变, 顽火辉石的高压相——钙钛矿结构是稳定的。高压加载或卸载过程引起的晶格畸变导致回收样品和原始样品的谱线差异, 而高压加载导致钙钛矿型(Mg0.92, Fe0.08)SiO3晶格畸变的可能性更大。

川西微晶白云母的X射线粉晶衍射分析

川西微晶白云母是一种新型的非金属矿物资源,采用X射线粉晶衍射分析对川西微晶白云母的进行了深入研究,发现该矿床存在白云母-多硅白云母矿物组合。该矿物组合中的微晶白云母和多硅白云母结晶度高,多型为2M1,其含量分别为80%和20%左右;二者都属二八面体型白云母类矿物,但d060和b值偏大,微晶白云母的d060=0.1502 nm,b=0.9012 nm,多硅白云母的d060=0.1505 nm,b=0.9030 nm;微晶白云母矿铝含量较低、铁镁含量较高,其原因是白云母晶体铝氧八面体中的Al离子被Fe、Mg等离子所取代,这一矿物组合是通过矿物类质同象作用所形成一种多硅白云母系列矿物。     

Compressional behaviour of CaNiSi2O6 clinopyroxene: bulk modulus systematic and cation type in clinopyroxenes

A single-crystal of composition CaNiSi₂O₆ (space group C2/c) was investigated at high pressure up to about 7.8 GPa by X-ray diffraction. The unit-cell parameters were measured at 18 different pressures. The P-V data were fitted by a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state V₀=435.21(1) ų, K ₀=117.6(3) GPa and K^=6.4(1). The linear axial compressibilities _a, _b, _c and a sin are 2.14(1), 3.00(1), 2.43(1) and 1.63(1) × 10–3 GPa^–1. Comparing the compressibility data with other CaM1Si₂O₆ pyroxenes we suggest that the empirical K × V = constant relationships are followed in C2/c pyroxenes only if the same valence electron character is shared.

HyLogging unconventional petroleum core from the Cooper Basin,South Australia

The Cooper Basin is currently Australia's premier onshore hydrocarbon-producing province and hosts a range of unconventional gas play types, including the very extensive basin-centred and tight gas accumulations in the Gidgealpa Group, both shallow and deep dry coal seam gas associated with the Patchawarra and Toolachee formations, as well as the shale gas plays in the Murteree and Roseneath shales. Characterisation of mineralogical properties of shales is critical to hydraulic fracture design and development of unconventional hydrocarbon resources. Properties are sensitive to variations in mineralogy, especially clays, and historically, acquisition of a suite of rock mechanics analyses has been on a point-source basis rather than on a continuous sampling approach, which is uncommon. In this paper, a near-continuous 382 m cored section, comprising the lower Permian Daralingie Formation, Roseneath and Murteree shales, the Epsilon Formation and the top portion of the Patchawarra Formation from Holdfast-1 well (DH261958) in the southern Cooper Basin, was measured using robotic core scanning spectroscopy with automated mineral identification. HyLogger 3 incorporates visible, near infrared, shortwave infrared and thermal infrared hyperspectral measurements recorded every 0.8 cm along the core at the rate of approximately 1 m per minute. These data are co-registered with a high-resolution image and a laser profile of the core. X-ray diffraction and thin-section petrology from the Holdfast-1 well-completion report (Beach Energy, 2011 Beach Energy (2011). Holdfast 1 well completion report. South Australian Department of State Development. Open file WCR 2010/000390. Retrieved from: https://sarigbasis.pir.sa.gov.au/WebtopEw/ws/samref/sarig1/image/DDD/HOLDFAST_001.zip [Google Scholar]) provided relative proportions of minerals including quartz, kaolinite, dickite, muscovite, illite, chlorite and siderite that enabled the modelled vs actual mineralogies to be constrained in the thermal infrared with a correlation coefficient of 0.85 for quartz, 0.79 for muscovite and 0.68 for kaolin; illite and siderite were more poorly correlated. HyLogger logging, when integrated with other petrophysical and analytical core data, provides a useful tool to better understand unconventional reservoirs and may assist in identification of zones that are conducive to fracture stimulation.     

Vibrational Spectroscopic Study for Qualitative Assessment of Mn‐oxide Ore

Manganese oxide ore from the Bonai‐Keonjhar belt of Odisha, India, has been qualitatively assessed through Raman and FTIR spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction. Three categories of ore, namely, high‐grade (MnO₂: >72%), medium‐grade (MnO₂: 55‐72%) and low‐grade (MnO₂:40‐55%) from four mine profiles, Purnapani, Joda West, Khandbandh and Bamebariwere, were collected and subjected to vibrational spectroscopic studies. The use of Raman analysis in the microscopic configuration allowed the spectra to be taken at different points on the polished ore. Besides the Raman features of the ß‐MnO₂(Pyrolusite) phases, other signals were assigned to isolated FeO ions accommodated in vacancies and to some aluminium silicates. The three grades of ore show different Raman spectra. The FTIR spectra also exhibit contrasting pattern in different grade sample and support these findings. This study demonstrates the use of vibrational spectroscopy to assess the quality of Mn‐oxide ore that could provide a substitute to cumbersome wet chemical analysis     

Evidence of Saharan dust in upper Pleistocene reworked palaeosols of North‐west Sardinia,Italy: palaeoenvironmental implications

A multi‐disciplinary approach was followed to investigate two thick palaeosol strata that alternate with wind‐blown dominated deposits developed along the Alghero coast (North‐west Sardinia, Italy). Optically stimulated luminescence ages reveal that both palaeosols were developed during cooler drier periods: the first one at around 70 ka Marine Isotope Stage 4 and the latter around 50 ka (Marine Isotope Stage 3). In contrast, the pedological features indicate that the palaeosols underwent heavy weathering processes under warm humid to sub‐humid conditions, characteristic of the Sardinian climate during the last interglacial stage (Marine Isotope Stage 5e). To reconcile this apparent data discrepancy, a range of sedimentological and pedological analyses were conducted. These analyses reveal that the palaeosols possess a complex history, with accumulation and weathering occurring during Marine Isotope Stage 5e, and erosion, colluviation and final deposition taking place during the following cold stages. Thus, even if these reddish palaeosols were last formed during the glacial period, the sediments building up these strata probably record the climate of the last interglacial stage (Marine Isotope Stage 5e). Trace element and X‐ray diffraction analyses, together with scanning electron microscope images, reveal the presence of Saharan dust in the parent material of the palaeosols. However, no evidence of any far‐travelled African dust has been observed in the Marine Isotope Stage 4–3 aeolian deposits. It is possible to conclude that in the West Mediterranean islands, Saharan dust input, even if of modest magnitude, is preserved preferentially in soils accumulated and weathered during interglacial stages.
