Investigations on S, C, O, Sr, and Pb isotopes in ores, gangue, and country rocks of the Chaudfontaine ore deposit confirm that interbedded barite and white sparry calcites are cogenetic. They emphasize the marine origin of S and the nonmarine origin of the metals. They underline the important role played by the bacterial reduction at the site of deposition. Hypotheses concerning the source of the metals and the nature of the brines involved in their transportation are briefly discussed. 相似文献

Water samples from eight major Texas rivers were collected at different times during 1997–1998 to determine the dissolved and particulate trace metal concentrations, expected to show differences in climate patterns, river discharge and other hydrochemical conditions, and human activities along the different rivers. Specifically, two eastern Texas rivers (Sabine, Neches) lie in a region with high vegetation, flat topography, and high rainfall rates, while four Central Texas rivers (Trinity, Brazos, Colorado, and San Antonio) flow through large population centers. Relatively high dissolved organic carbon (DOC) concentrations in the eastern Texas rivers and lower pH led to higher Fe and Mn concentrations in river waters. The rivers that flow through large population centers showed elevated trace metal (e.g., Cd, Pb, Zn) concentrations partly due to anthropogenically produced organic ligands such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) present in these rivers. Trace metal levels were reduced below dams/reservoirs along several Texas rivers. Statistical analysis revealed four major factors (suspended particulate matter [SPM], EDTA, pH, and DOC) that can explain most of the observed variability of trace metal concentrations in these rivers. SPM concentrations directly controlled particulate metal contents. Variation in pH correlated with changes of dissolved Co, Fe, Mn, and Ni, and particulate Mn concentrations, while DOC concentrations were significantly related to dissolved Fe concentrations. Most importantly, it was found that, more than pH, EDTA concentrations exerted a major control on dissolved concentrations of Cd and Zn, and, to a lesser extent, Cu, Ni, and Pb. 相似文献

Mn, Sr, Ba, Rb, Cu, Zn, Pb and Cd concentrations have been measured seasonally in the water and deposited sediments of the system comprising: Zala river (main input) — Lakes Kis-Balaton 1 and 2 (small artificial lakes created in a former bay of Lake Balaton) — Keszthely bay (hypertrophic part of Lake Balaton). The concentrations of the trace elements together with pH, alkalinity, dissolved cations (Ca2+, Mg2+, Na+, and K+), dissolved inorganic ligands (Cl–, SO4
2–), particulate Al, Ca, inorganic and organic carbon are used to assess the contamination of the study area and biogeochemical processes controlling trace element concentrations. Thermodynamic speciation calculations have also been utilized to enhance our understanding of the system. In the sediments Rb, Ba, Cu and Zn concentrations were mainly controlled by the abundance of the aluminosilicate fraction. Strontium was mainly associated with the calcium carbonate fraction. The aluminosilicate fraction constitutes a major sink for Mn and Cd but the concentration of these elements are also strongly related to calcite precipitation. The main processes that control the dissolved distribution of trace elements in the Balaton system were: solid phase formation (carbonate) for Mn; coprecipitation with calcite for Sr, Ba, Rb and possibly Mn and Cd; adsorption/desorption processes (pH dependent) for Zn and Pb; solubilization of Mn and precipitation of Cd and Cu in reed covered wetland areas where anoxic conditions were probably existing during the warm season. A preliminary budget of atmospheric and river input to Lake Balaton has also been outlined. Although Lake Balaton, is subjected to anthropogenic inputs mainly from agricultural and domestic activities, their impact on trace element concentrations in the Balaton system is very limited due to the efficiency of removal processes (i.e. adsorption and co-precipitation) and to high sedimentation rates and strong sediment re-suspension. Anthropogenic inputs are only detected for Pb. 相似文献

The skarn complex of Traversella was formed at the expense of various rock types (calcic hornfels, gneiss, dolomitic marble)
occurring in the contact aureole of the dioritic intrusion of Traversella (30±5 Ma). Application of phase equilibria has fixed
the temperature of the primary stage of skarn formation between 550° C to 625° C. Similar applications indicate a larger range
of temperature (525° C to 300° C) for the secondary stage. The different types of skarn (primary stage) are enriched in REE
relative to the corresponding precursor rock (T.R.=126 ppm (protolith) to 228 ppm (inner zone) for the skarn on gneisses;
T.R.=14 ppm to 71 ppm for the skarn on calcic hornfelses; T.R.=12 ppm to 200 ppm for the skarn on dolomitic marbles), but
all the inner zones of these different types of skarn show a similar REE distribution with a slight LREE fractionation and
no Eu anomaly. It is inferred that the primary metasomatic fluid has a parallel REE pattern. The oxygen isotope composition
of water in equilibrium with the early stage of skarn at T=600° C ranges from 8.3 per mil to 8.9 per mil. At the beginning of the first hydroxylation stage (secondary stage), the fluid
σ
18O remains in the range observed in the primary stage but within it, there is a sharp decrease from 8.0 per mil to 5.0 per
mil. During the sulphidation stage, the fluid σ
18O decreases more gradually from 5.0 per mil to 3.0 per mil. The I
Sr of the early skarn silicates ranges from the values observed in the dolomitic marbles (0.70874 to 0.70971) to the I
Sr of the intrusion (0.70947 to 0.71064). During the secondary stage, there is a progressive increase of the minerals I
Sr up to 0.71372. The REE pattern of the primary metasomatic fluid does not put any precise constraint on the primary fluid
source. On the other hand, both stable and radiogenic isotopes suggest that the early high-temperature metasomatic fluid was
isotopically equilibrated with the dioritic intrusion. This implies that this early fluid is either exsolved from the crystallizing
intrusion or a metamorphic water previously equilibrated with the intrusion. During the secondary stage, the replacement of
the early anhydrous phases by hydrated parageneses is accompanied by the mixing with meteoric fluid as indicated by stable
(σ
18O) and radiogenic (87Sr/86Sr) isotopes. 相似文献

Summary The Xiluvo complex of central Mozambique is made up of coarse- to fine-grained calciocarbonatites (sövites and alvikites), heavily altered lamprophyres and syenitic rocks that intruded the Precambrian basement ca. 120Ma ago. The carbonatites have fractionated rare earth element patterns (chondrite-normalized La/Yb=30–80) and markedly negative Rb, K, P, Zr and Ti anomalies in mantle-normalized incompatible element diagrams. The 18O (+7 to +8), 13C (–5), and the age-corrected 87Sr/86Sr (0.7032–0.7033) and 143Nd/144Nd (0.51263–0.51262) indicate an origin in the mantle. A few carbonatitic samples have higher 18O (+13), indicating interaction with high-18O crust or late-stage fluids. The chemical and isotopic compositions of the Xiluvo carbonatites and nearby carbonatites of similar age in Malawi indicate very similar sources, characterized by time-integrated depletion of Rb with respect to Sr and of Sm with respect to Nd. These characteristics point to a source similar in many respects to those of other East African carbonatites and to those of some ocean island basalts, with the additional influx of components possibly located in the African lithospheric mantle. 相似文献

Summary The Early Paleozoic Altkristallin of the Kreuzeck Mountains is well-known for its mostly small gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, antimony, and mercury deposits. A detailed investigation of silver(-gold)-base metal mineralizations (Plattach, Niedermülleralm, Grakofel and DraBnitz) is presented in this paper. The deposits are structurally controlled. Faults and shear zones penetrate garnet-mica schists, gneisses (partly at Grakofel), and amphibolites (partly at DraBnitz). In places the mineralization occurs at the sheared contact between quartz porphyrite dykes (K/Ar ages of 30–40 Ma) and country rocks (e.g. at Niedermülleralm).The precious metal mineralization occurs as bundles of quartz veins, which were mined over a distance of 150-200 m along strike and dip. The depositional textures such as vugs, symmetrical banding, cockade and colloform structures clearly indicate open space filling. The mineral parageneses of Plattach, Niedermülleralm and Grakofel ores are similar to each other, but distinctly different from that of the DraBnitz deposit. The first mentioned deposits are characterized by abundant silver sulfosalts such as freibergite (21.7–36.3 wt.% Ag), pyrargyrite, miargyrite, diaphorite (Pb1 7–1.8Ag2.9–3.2Sb2.8–3.0S8), owyheeite (Ag2.69Pb9.44Sb10.38S28) and stephanite, as well as sphalerite and galena (100–1600 ppm Ag); hocartite ( [Ag, Cu]2 [Fe, Zn] SnS4) is intergrown with pyrargyrite and occurs as inclusions in pyritic ores at Niedermülleralm. Pyrite, arsenopyrite, and chalcopyrite are present in minor amounts. Au-Ag alloys with Ag contents ranging between 40.4–49.5 wt.% (electrum) and 73.5–74.2 wt.% (aurian silver) have grain sizes between 2 and 60 pin and are frequently associated with freibergite, pyrite and quartz.Draßnitz is a silver bearing base metal deposit with a possible but not proved silver enrichment in the uppermost 100 m of the vein system. Arsenopyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, bournonite, Ag-tetrahedrite, and galena are the dominant ore minerals, locally accompanied by substantial amounts of zincian stannite (25 mol.% kesterite), ferberite, scheelite, and minor amounts of molybdenite, native bismuth, ullmannite and a silver sulfosalt.The most common types of hydrothermal wall-rock alteration are phyllic alteration (sericitization), silicification, carbonatization, and sulfidization. The alteration zone does not exceed a few decimeters on both sides of the veins.Fluid inclusion studies of quartz reveal formation temperatures of 165–250°C (Plattach) and 165–220°C (Niedermülleralm). The corresponding data for the Grakofel and Draßnitz ores are 180–330°C and 210–365°C, respectively. The salinities vary between 3–7 equiv. wt.-% NaCl (Niedermülleralm, Plattach, Draßnitz) and 4–13.3 equiv. wt.-% NaCl (Grakofel).A shallow-seated plutonic or subvolcanic magma (quartz porphyrite?) could be the reason for telescoping, different temperatures and heat gradient within the mineralized zone. The isotope compositions of the fluids give evidence for their metamorphic origin, probably contaminated by a minor meteoric component.

Gangförmige Ag-(Au)-Pb, Zn, Cu-(W, Sn) Vererzungen in der südlichen Kreuzeckgruppe, Kärnten, Österreich
Zusammenfassung Das altpaläozoische Altkristallin der Kreuzeckgruppe beherbergt eine große Zahl zumeist kleiner Gold-, Silber-, Kupfer-, Blei-, Zink-, Antimon- und Quecksilber-Lagerstätten. In dieser Arbeit werden detaillierte Untersuchungen von Silber(-Gold)-Buntmetall-Vererzungen (Plattach, Niedermülleralm, Grakofel und Draßnitz) vorgestellt. Die Lagerstätten sind strukturkontrolliert; Verwerfungs- und Scherzonen setzen in Granat-glimmerschiefern, Gneisen (teilweise Grakofel) und Amphiboliten (teilweise Draßnitz) auf. Bereichsweise tritt die Vererzung am zerscherten Kontakt zwischen Quarzporphyritgängen (K/Ar-Alter 30–40 Ma) und dem Nebengestein auf (z.B. Niedermülleralm).Die edelmetallhältige Vererzung ist an Quarzgang-Systeme gebunden, deren Ausdehnung aufgrund der bergbaulichen Aktivitäten kaum mehr als 150–200 m im Streichen und Einfallen betragen haben dürfte. Die beobachteten Ablagerungstexturen mit zahlreichen Drusen, symmetrischen Bänderungen, Kokarden- und kolloformen Strukturen sind eindeutige Indizien für eine Kristallisation in Hohlräumen. Die Mineral-paragenesen der Reviere Plattach-Niedermülleralm und des Grakofels sind einander sehr ähnlich, unterscheiden sich aber deutlich von jenen der Draßnitz. Die erstgenannten Lagerstätten zeichnen sich durch das bevorzugte Auftreten von Silber-Sulfosalzen, wie Freibergit (21,7–36,3 Gew.% Ag), Pyrargyrit, Miargyrit, Diaphorit (Pb1,7–1,8Ag2,9–3,2 Sb2,8–3,0S8), Owyheeit (Ag2. 69Pb9 ,44Sb10,38S28) und Stephanit sowie Sphalerit und Galenit (100–1600 ppm Ag) aus; Hocartit ( [Ag, Cu]2 [Fe, Zn] SnS4), der mit Pyrargyrit verwachsen ist, bildet Einschlüsse in Pyriterzen der Niedermülleralm. Zu geringeren Teilen kommen Pyrit, Arsenopyrit und Chalkopyrit vor. Gold-Silber-Legierungen mit Ag-Gehalten zwischen 40,4–49,5 Gew.% (Elektrum) und 73,5–74,2 Gew.% (Au-hältiges Silber) und Korngrößen zwischen 2 und 60 Mm sind häufig mit Freibergit, Pyrit und Quarz assoziiert.Die Lagerstätten der Draßnitz enthalten eine silberführende Buntmetallvererzung mit einer aufgrund der alten Bergbautätigkeit nur vermutbaren ehemaligen Silber-Reicherzzone in den obersten Gangabschnitten (Mächtigkeit ca. 100 m). Die Haldenerze bestehen heute aus Arsenopyrit, Pyrrhotin, Chalkopyrit, Sphalerit, Bournonit, Ag-Tetraedrit und Galenit; sie werden bereichsweise von beträchtlichen Anteilen an Zn-Stannit (25 Mol.% Kesterit), Ferberit, Scheelit, sowie in geringen Mengen von gediegenem Wismut, Ullmannit und Ag-Sulfosalzen begleitet.Serizitisierung, Silizihzierung, Karbonatisierung und Sulfidisierung sind die wesentlichen hydrothermalen Nebengesteinsveränderungen. Die Alterationszone erreicht allerdings nur einige Dezimeter auf beiden Seiten der Erzgänge.Die aus Flüssigkeitseinschlüssen in Quarz ermittelten Bildungstemperaturen zeigen für die Plattach 165–250°C, für die Niedermülleralm 165–220T. Die entsprechenden Temperaturdaten für die Grakofel-Vererzung betragen 180–330°C und 210–365°C für die Draßnitz. Die Salinitäten schwanken zwischen 3–7 Gew.% NaCl äq. (Niedermülleralm, Plattach, Draßnitz) und 4–13,3 Gew.% NaCl äq. (Grakofel).Ein hochplutonisches oder subvulkanisches Magma (Quarzporphyrit?) könnte eine mögliche Erklärung für das Teleskoping, die Temperaturunterschiede und den Wärmegradienten innerhalb der Vererzungszone sein. Die Isotopenzusammensetzung der Fluide deutet auf deren metamorphen Ursprung mit vermutlich untergeordneter meteorischer Komponente hin.

Multi-isotopic (Li,B, Sr,Nd) approach for geothermal reservoir characterization in the Limagne Basin (Massif Central,France) 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
A multi-isotopic study of thermo-mineral waters from the Limagne Basin (French Massif Central) is reported. Lithium, B, Sr and Nd isotopic signatures in thermo-mineral waters and bedrocks were combined in order to determine the origin of these fluids from a reservoir point of view. Strontium and Nd isotopic systems showed that the thermo-mineral waters are mostly derived from a granitic reservoir type, with the exception of a few water samples having Sr and Nd isotopic signatures also reflecting a volcanic contribution (basalts). In a second step, Li and B isotopes were investigated, given that Li and B isotopic systematics are potentially affected by mass dependent fractionation during water/rock interaction and could provide some information on what takes place during this process. A great diversity of thermo-mineral waters within the Aigueperse area was clearly observed, which is directly related to the origin of these thermal waters in terms of reservoirs. These different geothermal reservoirs are characterized by different geological settings and intensity of water/rock interaction (i.e. depth and temperature). 相似文献

Trace metals (Cd,Pb, Cu,Zn and Ni) in sediment of the submarine pit Dragon ear (Soline Bay,Rogoznica, Croatia) 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Vertical profiles of trace metal (Cd, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni) concentrations, organic matter content, carbonate content and granulometric
composition were determined in two sediment cores from the submarine pit Dragon Ear (Middle Adriatic). Concentrations of the
analyzed metals (Cd: 0.06–0.12 mg kg−1, Pb: 28.5–67.3 mg kg−1, Zn: 17.0-65.4 mg kg−1, Cu: 21.1–51.9 mg kg−1, Ni: 27.8–40.2 mg kg−1) were in usual range for Adriatic carbonate marine sediments. Nevertheless, concentrations of Cu, Zn, and especially Pb in
the upper layer of sediments (top 12 cm) were higher than in bottom layer, while Cd and Ni concentration profiles were uniform.
Regression analysis and principal component analysis were used to interpret distribution of trace metals, organic matter and
carbonate content in sediment cores. Results of both analysis showed that concentrations of all trace metals in the core below
the entrance to the pit were significantly positively correlated with organic matter and negatively correlated with carbonate,
while in the core more distant from the entrance only Pb showed significant positive correlation with organic matter. Obtained
results indicated that, except for lead which was enriched in surface sediment, in the time of sampling (before the building
of the nautical marina) investigated area belonged to unpolluted areas. 相似文献

Vinciennite and Cu-excess tennantite from the Layo (Cu,Sn, As,Au) epithermal deposit (Southern Peru)
Summary The Layo epithermal deposit, cutting Miocene-Pliocene calc-alkaline volcanites of the Tacaza group, includes a well-developed eastern zone (Vetas 7 and 8) in which brecciated and banded textures are associated with a large, intensely argillized zone containing diaspore and alunite. The vetas contain a typical Cu-As mineralogy of the acid-sulfate type (pyrite, enargite, Cu-excess tennantite, chalcopyrite, covellite) with an associated original stanniferous paragenesis including vinciennite and mawsonite. The vinciennite is close to the ideal end-member (Cu10Fe4SnAsS16) and the Cu-excess tennantite (Cu11FeAs4S13) shows a total absence of Zn and Ag; its very specific chemical composition suggests that all the iron is Fe3+, equilibrated by Cu+ and probably minor Cu2+.This particular mineralogical association implies deposition at relatively low temperature (300°C) and high aS2 (10–6.5 decreasing to 10–8.5), from a Cu-S-rich and Fe-Zn-poor fluid. The acid-sulfate epithermal mineralization of the eastern vetas of Layo appears to have preceded an adularia-sericite epithermal mineralization expressed in the western vetas of Layo and also in the nearby large epithermal veins at Orcopampa and Shila. It also supports the genetic relationship that is commonly evoked between porphyry copper and epithermal deposits.

Le minéralogie originale à vinciente et tennantite riche du gisement épithermal (Cu, Sn, As, Au) de Layo (Sud Péru)
Résumé Le gîte épithermal de Layo est encaissé dans les volcanites calco-alcalines Miocène-Pliocène du groupe de Tacaza. Sa zone orientale renferme des corps minéralisés (Vetas 7 et 8) bien développés, à textures bréchiques et rubanées associées à une large zone intensément argilisée contenant diaspore et alunite.Les vetas présentent une association minéralogique à As-Cu typique des gisements acide-sulfate (pyrite, énargite, tennantite riche en cuivre, chalcopyrite, covellite) et une paragenèse stannifère originale renfermant vinciennite et mawsonite. La vinciennite est proche du pôle théorique (Cu10Fe4SnAsS16) et la tennantite riche en Cu (Cu11FeAs4S13) est dépourvue de Zn et de Ag; sa composition chimique suggère que tout le fer se présente sous la forme Fe3+, en équilibre avec Cu+, avec probablement une participation mineure de Cu2+.Cette association minéralogique particulière implique une mise en place sous forte fugacité en soufre (aS2 = 10–6.5 décroissant jusqu'à 10–8.5) à une température relativement basse de l'ordre de 300°C à partir d'un fluide riche en Cu et S et pauvre en Fe et Zn. La minéralisation de type acide-sulfate des vetas orientales de Layo précéderait celles de type adulaire-sericite des vetas occidentales de Layo et des gisements voisins de Orcopampa et Shila. Elle contribue à renforcer le lien fréquemment évoqué entre les porphyres cuprifères et les gisements épithermaux.
