A comparison of artificial solar granules with real solar granules

The lifetimes, characteristics of the shapes as well as lengths and perimeters of artificial solar granules (Nordlund, 1982, 1984a) are compared with data from the literature and parameters determined from two different sets of observed granules. No significant differences of the parameters for these sets of granules are detectable.Mitteilungen aus dem Kiepenheuer-Institut Nr. 251.     

Stable isotope study of the Archaean rocks of the Vredefort impact structure,central Kaapvaal Craton,South Africa

The Vredefort dome in the Kaapvaal Craton was formed as a result of the impact of a large meteorite at 2.02 Ga. The central core of Archaean granitic basement rocks is surrounded by a collar of uplifted and overturned strata of the Witwatersrand Supergroup, exposing a substantial depth section of the Archaean crust. Orthogneisses of the core show little variation in whole-rock δ ¹⁸O value, with the majority being between 8 and 10‰, with a mean of 9.2‰ (n = 35). Quartz and feldspar have per mil differences that are consistent with O-isotope equilibrium at high temperatures, suggesting minimal interaction with fluids during subsequent cooling. These data refute previous suggestions that the Outer Granite Gneiss (OGG) and Inlandsee Leucogranofels (ILG) of the core represent middle and lower crust, respectively. Granulite-facies greenstone remnants from the ILG have δ ¹⁸O values that are on average 1.5‰ higher than the ILG host rocks and are unlikely, therefore, to represent the residuum from the partial melting event that formed the host rock. Witwatersrand Supergroup sedimentary rocks of the collar, which were metamorphosed at greenschist-to amphibolite-facies conditions, generally have lower δ ¹⁸O values than the core rocks with a mean value for metapelites of 7.7‰ (n = 45). Overall, through an ∼20 km thick section of crust, there is a general increase in whole-rock δ ¹⁸O value with increasing depth. This is the reverse of what is normal in the crust, largely because the collar rocks have δ ¹⁸O values that are unusually low in comparison with metamorphosed sedimentary rocks worldwide. The collar rocks have δD values ranging from −35 to −115‰ (average −62‰, n = 29), which are consistent with interaction with water of meteoric origin, having a δD of about −25 to −45‰. We suggest that fluid movement through the collar rocks was enhanced by impact-induced secondary permeability in the dome structure.

Long-term effects of tributyltin compounds on the baltic amphipod, Gammarus oceanicus

Amphipod larvae, Gammarus oceanicus, were exposed for 8 weeks to bis(tributyltin) oxide (TBTO) or tributyltin fluoride (TBTF), or for 5 weeks to leachates from tributyltin-containing antibiofouling paints. No larvae survived 8 weeks' exposure to 3 μg/litre TBTO or TBTF. Differential larval survival occurred during exposure to 0·3 gmg/litre of these same compounds. Paint leachates were shown to cause similar toxicity responses at comparable aqueous tributyltin concentrations. An examination of sublethal responses showed slight decreases in growth for larvae exposed to TBTO and to paint leachates, although responses at tributyltin levels below 1 μg/litre were not marked. Whole-animal oxygen consumption rates were not affected by low tributyltin exposure levels. While these studies demonstrate low level toxicity of tributyltins, effects on oxygen consumption and growth do not indicate a mode of action for these compounds.     

泌阳凹陷安棚油田深层系成岩作用研究及其在成岩圈闭预测中的应用

深层系一般指沉积盆地中埋藏深度在2 500～2 700 m以下的地层,其储集物性普遍很差,但在一定条件下,深部溶蚀作用可产生优质储层,形成成岩圈闭.然而这种成岩圈闭的预测一直是一个难题.安棚油田位于河南泌阳凹陷东南部,勘探成果表明,在该油田深层系下第三系核桃园组核三段下部(简称(核三下)席状的扇三角洲砂体中存在成岩圈闭.本次通过定量的成岩作用研究和成岩阶段划分,对成岩圈闭的形成机理和分布进行了探讨.研究表明,该区核三下的砂体经历了压实、胶结、溶蚀等多种成岩作用,不同的成岩作用发生于不同的埋藏深度.2 700～3 100 m之间以胶结强烈为特征,属于胶结带.3 100～3 900 m之间以次生溶蚀孔隙发育为特征,尤其是3 200～3 600 m之间, 属于深部溶蚀带.本区核三下砂体自南而北埋藏深度逐渐变浅,其上倾方向处于胶结带的部分由于强烈胶结而变成致密层,可封堵油气,而下倾方向处于溶蚀带的部分由于次生溶蚀孔隙发育而成为良好储层,从而形成成岩圈闭.根据不同埋藏深度、不同成岩阶段孔隙发育和保存的特征,可预测成岩圈闭分布。

Acid leaching of ash and coal: Time dependence and trace element occurrences

The leaching of coal and coal/asphaltite/wood-ashes in sulfuric acid (pH 1.0, 25 °C, S/L, 1:10) was studied as a function of time; acid consumption and extracted metal concentrations are presented. Whole coals consumed acid rapidly during the first few minutes, followed by slow acid consumption. Wood-, lignite-, and asphaltite-ashes consumed acid in two stages, the rapid phase extending < 30 min and the slow phase extended up to 10 days. The rapid phase was dominated by the dissolution of Ca, K and Mg ions for wood-ash, by Ca, Al and Mg ions for lignite-ash and Ca and Mg ions for asphaltite-ash. The sulfur concentration in solution and the concentrations of Ca, Fe, K, Mg, Na, P, Al and Mn in the aqueous phase verified the neutralizing capacity of the untreated ashes as well as the formation of insoluble sulfates in the residues. The slow phase kinetics differed for different fuels and exhibited leaching of several abundant elements—Fe, Al, K, Na and Mn. Trace elements (Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Mo, Ni, Pb, Th, U, V, Zn) sometimes required up to 32 h for maximal extraction from ashes. Suggestions are presented regarding the chemical nature of trace elements in the untreated coals and ashes and suitable residence times for economical industrial processes. We think it possible to combine bacteriological oxidation of sulfidic concentrates of acid leaching from ash of various qualities or even whole coals.     

青藏铁路沿线多年冻土区地温场变化规律

青藏铁路通过约550km的多年冻土区,统计和分析青藏高原多年冻土分布区主要气象台站的资料可以看出,近30a来高原多年冻土区的气候变化总的趋势是向着气温升高的方向发展的,气温的变化对多年冻土热状态的扰动主要表现在地温场的变化上.30多年来高原气温升高0.45℃左右,并引起冻土地温平均升高了0.2～0.3℃.分析青藏铁路通过的多年冻土地区典型地段测温孔资料,发现多年来气候转暖已经使冻土上部(20m以上)地温明显升高,影响深度已经波及到了40m.
