Research on diagenesis of the sandstone-type uranium deposits in Dongsheng area,Ordos Basin

Synthetic methods of thin section petrography, scanning electron microscope, electron microprobe, energy spectrum analysis, cathodoluminescence, isotopic analysis and temperature measuring for fluid inclusions were used in analyzing sandstone samples collected from the Zhiluo Formation in order to fully understand the diagenesis evolution and the mineralizing response as well as the genesis of the uranium-bearing sandstone in Dongsheng area. The result shows that (1) the sandstone include lithic silicarenite, feldspathic litharenite and litharenite; (2) the authigenic minerals include clay minerals, carbonate minerals, siliceous and ferric minerals; (3) the physical property of sandstone is obviously controlled by diagenesis; and (4) the sandstone with favorable physical property is propitious to migration and storage of ore-forming fluid, and finally, forming the ore deposit. The sandstone of the Zhiluo Formation had undergone the early diagenetic stage (periods A and B) and the epidiagenetic stage. The evolution of diagenetic environment is in the order of acidic oxidation, alkalescent deoxidization, acidity to transitional environment of oxidation-deoxidization and acidity-alkalescence. The uranium exists in forms of pre-enrichment uranyl ion, active uranyl ion, dispersive adsorptive uranium and uranium mineral, respectively. In addition, the authors also hold that the formation of the sandstone-type uranium is not only related to the oxidation-deoxidization environment, but also closely related to the acidic-alkaline transitional environment, which are propitious to uranium mineralization in sandstone.

新疆东昆仑迪木那里克铁矿床地质特征及找矿方向

迪木那里克铁矿床处于新疆东昆仑西段,位于阿尔金陆缘地块祁漫塔格古生代复合沟弧带中.矿体主要赋存于中-上奥陶统祁漫塔格群浅变质碎屑岩-火山碎屑岩中,矿体多呈似层状、条带状产出,与地层产状基本一致,层控作用比较明显,矿体塑性变形较强;矿石主要为条带状石英-磁铁矿和块状磁铁矿矿石;矿石品位较低(TFe=20％～40％);围岩蚀变特征明显.文章从成矿地质背景和矿床地质特征出发,重点从矿床规模、矿体产状、赋矿层位、围岩性质、矿石特征等方面探讨了迪木那里克铁矿床的成因,并提出在该区寻找同类矿床的标志.该铁矿床属海相火山沉积变质型铁矿,可利用矿区地层、构造、围岩蚀变、航磁异常等作为找矿标志.     

南秦岭桂林沟斑岩型钼矿Re-Os同位素年代学及其构造意义研究

陕西省镇安县桂林沟斑岩型钼矿床位于南秦岭多金属成矿带内,其成矿围岩主要为细粒花岗岩、钾长花岗岩和蚀变的粗粒花岗岩。本文通过对桂林沟斑岩型钼矿床中辉钼矿Re-Os同位素定年以及围岩中锆石U-Pb年代学研究,旨在探讨成矿成岩的关系及其构造意义。结果表明,6件辉钼矿的Re-Os同位素年龄在195.9~198.5Ma之间,加权平均年龄为197.2±1.3Ma,表明桂林沟钼矿形成于早侏罗世。围岩细粒花岗岩、钾长花岗岩和粗粒花岗岩的锆石U-Pb年龄分别为199±1.4Ma、201±3.1Ma和198±11Ma,这说明其成岩和成矿年龄基本一致。值得注意的的是,桂林沟钼矿床的形成年龄不同于前人已报导的秦岭钼矿的三个主要成矿期,即238~213Ma、145~126Ma和116~110Ma,其稍晚于第一成矿期。200~190Ma可能代表了秦岭成矿带一期尚未认识的重要成矿事件,对于南秦岭找矿具有重要意义。该期钼矿形成于秦岭印支期碰撞之后,是在造山带垮塌引起的岩浆-热液事件过程中形成的。     

The changes of renewable water resources in China during 1956–2010

Water is a critical natural resource upon which all social and economic activities and ecosystem functions depend. With a surprising social and economic development in the past decades, water has become an important constraint for China’s sustainable development, and a matter concerning economic security, ecological security and national security of the country. Understanding the changes of water resources is greatly helpful in analyzing the impacts of climatic change, formulating plans for utilization and protection of water resources, and making water resource decisions. Based on China’s national water resources assessment, the Mann-Kendall’s test, and Morlet wavelet, we analyzed the changing trends and periods of China’s renewable water resources during 1956–2010. The results as following: (1) There is no significant change trend of water resources on the countrywide scale during the period 1956–2010, the total water resources show a slight increasing trend, and the national annual average water resources during the period 1991–2010 increased by 1% relative to that of the period 1961–1990. (2) The changes of water resources in different level-I water resource regions vary significantly. Annual average water resources of the Haihe River and Yellow River regions in the northern China decreased 19% and 17% respectively in the past 20 years. Water resource increased in Southern and Northwestern rivers regions, particularly in the Northwest rivers region, with the increasing amplitude by nearly 10% in the past 20 years. (3) The inter-annual variation of national water resource became larger in the past 20 years, as compared with that of the period 1961–1990. The coefficients of water resource variation increased in Northwestern and Southwestern rivers regions, while the inter-annual variation tended to decrease in the Haihe and the Yellow River regions where significant decline of water resources happened. (4) A 14-year quasi-periodicity of the national water resource variation was detected, overlapping with various periodicities of water resources of different level-I water resource regions. Remarkable uniformity exists between the first or secondary primary periodicity of water resource variation in adjacent level-I water resource regions.
