成岩带、近变质带与一维纳米级层状硅酸盐

运用X射线衍射分析技术，计算了成岩带、近变质带粘土矿物C^*方向的粒度。根据阿尔卑斯造山带前陆碎屑岩粘土矿物粒度与伊利石结晶指数的关系，推导出了伊利石、绿泥石、蒙脱石、伊蒙混层、高岭石和叶蜡石的c^*方向粒度变化趋势曲线。结果表明，大多数产于成岩带和近变质带的粘矿物其c6*方向粒工为几至几十纳米。成岩带和近为质带是一维天然纳为级土帮物的产地。     

伊利石结晶度Kübler指数的校正与近变质带的确定

就像用"砝码"标定"称"来测量物质质量一样,伊利石结晶度的测量也需要这样的"砝码"标定它的测量工具——衍射仪,从而能够进行伊利石结晶度的测量和对比。这个砝码就是伊利石结晶度标样或称伊利石结晶度国际标样。第2届Kübler-Frey国际研讨会伊利石结晶度圆桌会议就伊利石结晶度标样和近变质带的确定的问题进行了深入的讨论。会议一致认为,用伊利石结晶度标样校正X射线衍射仪是极为重要和必要的,没有进行标样校正的伊利石结晶度数据将被拒绝发表,经过伊利石结晶度国际标样校正后的伊利石结晶度数据才可用于近变质带的划分和国际对比。本文就伊利石结晶度测量的有关衍射仪类型与差别,衍射仪系统,测量条件,样品的影响和国际标样对仪器的校正等问题进行了分析研究。结果表明不同型号仪器,同型号仪器不同测量条件与状态,样品的不同制备方法都将影响伊利石结晶度Kübler指数的测量。指出只有使用国际标样才可校正测量的伊利石结晶度Kübler指数,从而达到消除偏差准确划分近变质带的标准和进行国际对比的目的。     

Illite crystallinity study of the Cretaceous Shimanto Belt in the Akaishi Mountains, eastern Southwest Japan

Abstract Illite crystallinity (IC) analyses in the Upper Cretaceous Shimanto accretionary complex of the southern Akaishi Mountains, eastern Southwest Japan confirm the applicability of this technique for evaluating the grade of diagenesis/metamorphism in a sediment-dominated accretionary complex. Reproducibility analyses of IC values show a variance of about 15% from the mean. Data from three traverses, which transect across-strike sections of ∼25 km, clearly demonstrate that the IC distributions have specific overall trends. The IC values belong to the lQwer anchizone and the zone of diagenesis. The IC distributions may be controlled locally by structural features, but there are no distinct relationships with regional-scale geological structures. This may indicate that the heterogeneous geothermal rise affected the pre-existing structural and diagenetic/metamorphic framework of the accretionary sequence. Along-strike variations of grade tend to increase toward the northeast where a Middle Miocene granitoid occurs. Hence, the original diagenetic/metamorphic framework of this part of the Shimanto Belt was presumably overprinted during the Middle Miocene.     

The illite 'crystallinity'technique: a critical appraisal of its precision

Analysis of the precision of the illite 'crystallinity'technique shows that machine errors are <5%, while intra- and inter-sample errors are variable but are up to 12% and 14%, respectively (1σ). Consideration of this error analysis shows that the isocryst approach, which involves close contouring (e.g. 0.03 Δ2°) of illite 'crystallinity'data, has a very low degree of confidence (<0.5) and thus is not regarded as statistically valid. If contouring is to be undertaken with a high degree of confidence (>0.8) it is necessary that contours should be at intervals of 0.1 ΔΘ2°, which is equivalent to subdivision of the anchizone into upper and lower units. Where previous interpretations have relied upon an isocryst method of contouring at less than 0.1 ΔΘ2° the conclusions must be regarded as unsubstantiated.
Centrifuge separation of clay fractions (based on a Stokes'law application) gives separations in which a significant, but variable, percentage of grains have long axes greater than the size calculated. For the typical <2-μm fraction utilized, some 20% of grains lie in the 2–4-μm range, although the proportion is not believed to have a significant effect upon 'crystallinity'values. The formula is applicable for grain-sizes down to 0.5 μm. Illite 'crystallinity'values on samples prepared by an ultrasonic disaggregation method show a small increase on those prepared by ball mill crushing. The differences are minimal at the epi/anchizone level but increase to some 10% at the anchizone/diagenetic level. The effect on grade determinations is again thought to be minimal and indicates that concern over unsuitability of the ultrasonic disaggregation method is unfounded.     

Chlorite crystallinity: an empirical approach and correlation with illite crystallinity, coal rank and mineral facies as exemplified by Palaeozoic and Mesozoic rocks of northeast Hungary

Abstract Fairly strong (r= 0.75–0.85) positive linear correlations were found between crystallinity indices (peak widths) measured on the first two basal reflections of chlorite and those of illite–muscovite in <2-μm fractions of a representative shale–slate–phyllite series from Palaeozoic and Mesozoic formations of northeast Hungary. The metamorphic grade ranges from late or deep diagenesis through anchizone to epizone conditions. Chlorite crystallinity values measured on air-dried and ethylene-glycol-solvated samples suggest that the effects of expandable interlayers are negligable, especially in the higher grade (～temperature) part of the series. However, the greater scattering of crystallinity values for the chlorite 001 reflection compared to those of the 002 reflection may be related to the effects of minor amounts of interlayered and/or discrete smectite and/or vermiculite. With increasing metamorphic grade and advancing equilibrium recrystallization, the chlorite compositions in different samples become more homogenous. No correlation exists between crystallinity and changes in chlorite composition as estimated from the intensity ratios of basal reflections. Hence an increase of domain size and a decrease of lattice distortion with increasing grade (～temperature) may be decisive factors affecting chlorite crystallinity. Chlorite crystallinity can be applied as a reliable regional, statistical technique complementary with, or instead of, the illite crystallinity method. The illite and chlorite crystallinity scales used here are related to Kübler's epi-, anchi- and diagenetic zones and correlated with coal rank, conodont colour alteration and mineral facies data. As the effects of the detrital white mica can be observed even in the <2-μm fractions of anchizonal metapelites, the anchizone boundaries determined solely on the base of ‘fixed’illite crystallinity values may vary with amounts of detrital and newly formed muscovite–illite. Hence a complex approach utilizing more than one method for determination of grade is preferred for petrogenetic purposes, even if relationships between crystallinity scales, coal rank and mineral facies also vary strongly in different tectonic settings and lithologies.
