Environmental aspects of selected trace metals in soils and waters surrounding Singaran Nala, Raniganj Coalfield

The Raniganj Coalfield is the oldest coalfield in India that has been continuously and extensively mined since the late eighteenth century. The present study reports a geochemical investigation and environmental quality assessment using soil and water in the area surrounding a stream, locally known as Singaran Nala （Nala means storm water drains in Bengali）, in the Raniganj Coalfield. Soil （top soil, mud, silty clay and laterite） and rock samples （sandstone and shale） were collected from the study area and were analyzed for trace metals （Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni and Zn）. Surface waters from the stream and the Damodar River as well as ground waters from hand pumps and underground mine pits were collected. Water samples were analyzed for major ions （Na^＋, Ca^2＋, Mg^2＋, Cl^-, HNO3^- and SO4^2-） and trace metals （Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, and Zn）. Trace metal concentrations in soil samples are found higher than the average world soil composition. Nevertheless, trace metal （Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn） concentrations in soils exceed or reach the maximum allowable concentrations （MAC） proposed by the European Commission for agricultural soils. In particular, Ni concentrations exceed the typical value for cultivated soils. Chromium, Cu and Ni concentrations in laterite and Cr concentration in topsoil exceed the ecotoxicological limit.     

Deformability characteristics of brazilian laterites

This paper summarizes the resilient and permanent deformation characteristics of laterite gravels, determined by cyclic loading in triaxial tests of compacted specimens. A study of laterite pavements was carried out on eight paved road sections in the state of Mato Grosso. Also reported is the influence of fine sand admixture, specimen size and soaking in two laterite samples from Roraima and Rondônia in the North of Brazil. The experimental relationships of resilient moduli against applied stresses are interpreted empirically for models what may be incorporated in a structural analysis of full depth of laterite pavement.     

库岸边坡倾角及水位变化对红土型库岸稳定性影响研究

水库库岸失稳对水库安全运行有重大影响。采用土工试验和干湿循环试验,结合数值计算及理论分析,研究红土型库岸边坡倾角和库水位升降与库岸稳定性的关系。结果表明:(1)在一定初始干密度条件下,红土抗剪强度随水位升降循环次数增加而非线性减小,且在水位升降循环约10次时趋于稳定。(2)在一定水位升降速率、升降幅度和升降循环次数条件下,红土型库岸稳定安全系数随库岸边坡倾角的增加总体上呈减小的趋势,且在边坡倾角为50°左右存在稳定安全系数极小值。(3)在一定水位升降循环次数条件下,水位上升到坡高的60%左右为上升阶段的相对危险区域,且水位上升速率对库岸稳定安全系数影响很小;水位下降至坡高的70%左右为库水位下降阶段的相对危险区域,且水位下降速率越大,库岸稳定安全系数越小。(4)针对一定初始干密度,库岸稳定安全系数先随水位升降循环次数的增加而减小,但在水位升降循环次数约10次后逐渐趋于稳定。库岸岩土体性质及库岸边坡倾角、水位变化都会对库岸稳定产生影响。

Mineral Potential of Myanmar

Abstract: Myanmar is rich in mineral resources, and of potential importance are the deposits of antimony, chromium, nickel, PGM, copper, gold, lead, zinc, silver, tin and tungsten, which form district metallogenic provinces within the six geomor–phic–tectonic units. In terms of past production and potential mineral wealth Myanmar ranks high among Asian countries. The last few decades witnessed a dramatic fall in mineral production, but undoubtedly, the high level of mineral potential remains unrealized. This paper reveals mineral belts with a high level of economic potential which form attractive targets for mineral exploration and some individual mineral deposits of significant magnitude and grade, creating opportunities for development and mining investment.     

黔中—渝南沉积型铝土矿区域成矿模式及找矿模型

黔中—渝南沉积型铝土矿的区域成矿模式概括如下:志留纪末的广西运动和泥盆纪末的紫云运动等,可能都是在峨眉地幔柱演化的壳幔相互作用阶段,因地幔柱向地壳大量输送物质和辐射能量,从而引发的地壳升降运动,在此期间,全区大面积抬升,形成长期隆起区;泥盆纪末准平原化;早石炭世岩关期气候湿热,暴露地表的早古生代岩石全面红土化、钙红土化,形成的含三水铝石红土风化壳物质,为沉积型铝土矿提供了物源。修文及息烽—遵义沉积区,于早石炭世大塘期早—中期沉积了铝土矿含矿岩系—九架炉组。绥阳—正安—道真沉积区,在晚石炭世的黄龙组石灰岩沉积并钙红土化之后,于马平期沉积了铝土矿含矿岩系的大竹园组。3个沉积区的铝土矿含矿岩系,都是在以陆相为主的环境中沉积形成的。在成岩阶段,铝土矿中的三水铝石逐渐变质为硬水铝石。由于各沉积区形成含三水铝石红土风化壳的母岩不同,由此沉积而成的铝土矿及其含矿岩系,在化学成分和矿物成分上也就有所差异。     

红土镍矿样品前处理方法和分析测定技术研究进展

随着常规镍来源的硫化镍矿资源的日益枯竭,可直接生产氧化镍、镍锍和镍铁等产品的红土镍矿倍受关注。对于红土镍矿中主量、次量、痕量元素的检测,相同的检测项目存在多种测试方法,且部分相同原理的测试方法存在细节上的差异,使得检测者选择合适的检测方法变得困难。本文综述了近年来红土镍矿中24种元素测定的样品前处理方式及分析技术研究进展。样品前处理方式依据目标元素及后续的分析方法进行选择,其中酸溶法和碱熔法用途最广。酸溶法引入的盐分少,操作简单,但是分解过程中易导致挥发元素As、Sb、Bi、Hg的损失,Cr易随高氯酸冒烟损失。碱熔法分解能力强,适合分析Cr、Si、全铁等项目,但会引入大量的盐类和因坩埚材料损耗而带入其他杂质,给后续分析带来困难。红土镍矿的分析技术依据实验室条件及目标元素的性质和浓度进行选择。电感耦合等离子体发射光谱法(ICP-AES)是主量、次量元素的主要分析方法,适合于分析含量为10-5~30%级别的金属元素;X射线荧光光谱法主要用于分析含量为10-3~1级别的元素,尤其适合于测定Al、Si、Ti、V和P,由于该方法的准确性依赖于一套高质量的标准样品,故更适合炉前检测或检测大批红土镍矿样品。电感耦合等离子体质谱法(ICP-MS)最适合于分析10-4含量以下的重元素,特别是稀土和贵金属元素。原子吸收光谱法(AAS)适合于分析10-4~10-2级别的Ca、Mg、Ni、Co、Zn、Cr、Mn等低沸点、易原子化元素。分光光度法主要用于分析Ni和P。原子荧光光谱法(AFS)主要用于分析As、Bi、Sb等易形成气态氢化物的元素。容量法主要用于分析Al、Fe、Mg和Si O2等主含量元素。尽管AAS、分光光度法、AFS法和容量法检测周期长,但所用仪器为实验室常规配置,可满足缺乏相应大型仪器实验室的日常检测。本文认为,针对各种检测方法的适用性及存在问题,应从开发微波消解法、固体进样直接测汞法、ICP-MS法以及Cr与其他元素同时分析的快速分析方法等方面开展研究,建立灵敏、准确的检测方法,从而更好地服务于红土镍矿的贸易、检验和综合利用。     

Composition and origin of the Çaldağ oxide nickel laterite,W. Turkey

The Çalda? nickel laterite deposit located in the Aegean region of W. Turkey contains a reserve of 33 million tons of Ni ore with an average grade of 1.14% Ni. The deposit is developed on an ophiolitic serpentinite body which was obducted onto Triassic dolomites in the Late Cretaceous. The deposit weathering profile is both laterally and vertically variable. A limonite zone, which is the main ore horizon, is located at the base of the profile. A hematite horizon is located above the limonite, which in the south of the deposit is capped by Eocene freshwater limestones and in the north by a siliceous horizon. The deposit is unusual in lacking a significant saprolite zone with little development of Ni-silicates. The boundary between the limonite zone and serpentinite below is sharp with a marked decrease in concentrations of MgO from 13 to 1 wt.% over a distance of 2 mm representing the ‘Mg discontinuity’. Ni concentrations within goethite, the main ore mineral, reach a maximum of ~3 wt.% near the base of the limonite zone. Silica concentrations are high throughout most of the laterite with up to 80 wt.% silica in the upper portion of some profiles. The combination of a serpentinite protolith and a high water table at Çalda?, in association with an aggressive weathering environment in a tropical climate, resulted in the formation of an oxide-dominated deposit. The precipitation of silica may coincide with a change in climate with silica precipitation linked to an increase in seasonality. Additional variations within profile morphology are attributed to transportation during and after laterite development as a result of faulting, pocket type laterite formation and slumping, each of which produces a contrasting set of textural and geochemical features.
