Pb isotope ratios have been measured in 12 volcanic rocks from the South Sandwich Islands. The ranges are 206Pb204Pb = 18.51–18.66; 207Pb204Pb = 15.55–15.64; 208Pb204Pb = 38.42–38.64. In 207Pb204Pb-206Pb204Pb and 208Pb204Pb-206Pb204Pb correlation diagrams, the South Sandwich data plot distinctly above the fields for ocean ridge basalts, and yield trends showing apparent mixing with a sedimentary end member similar to South Atlantic pelagic sediments as reported by Chow and Patterson (1962) and this study. Armstrong and Cooper (1971) have likewise shown that volcanics from the Lesser Antilles show mixing trends with North Atlantic sediments in Pb isotope correlation diagrams. The North Atlantic sediments have distinctly higher 206Pb204Pb and 208Pb204Pb ratios compared to the South Atlantic sediments. The parallel relationships between sediments and volcanic island arc rocks of the North and South Atlantic provide strong evidence for a component of Pb from subducted sediments in the lavas of the west Atlantic basin. In contrast to these data, lavas from the Mariana Arc in the western Pacific show little or no component of Pb from pelagic sediments. The reason for the different behaviors in the two settings is speculative.  相似文献

Twenty-four piston core sediment samples and 13 sediments and 3 basalts from DSDP Leg 78 Site 543 were analyzed for Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic compositions. The results show sediment with highly radiogenic Pb206Pb204Pb up to 19.8) and rather radiogenic Sr and unradiogenic Nd has been deposited in the region since the Cretaceous. The source of this sediment is probably the Archean Guiana Highland, which is drained by the Orinoco River. Pb and Sr isotopic compositions and sediment thickness decrease and143Nd144Nd increases northward due to a decrease in turbiditic component. This decrease is partly due to the damming action of basement ridges. Rare earth concentrations in the sediments are somewhat low, due to the abundance of detrital and biogenic components in the sediment and rapid sedimentation rates. Both positive and negative Ce anomalies occur in the surface sediments, but only positive Ce anomalies occur in the Site 543 sediments. It is unlikely that sediment subducted to the source region of Lesser Antilles arc magmas could be the cause of negative Ce anomalies in those magmas.Isotopic compositions of Site 543 basalts show some effect of contamination by seawater-basalt reaction products and sediments. Beyond this, however, they are typical of “normal” depleted MORB.  相似文献

To better understand the process of crustal contamination/assimilation, 23 Pb isotopic compositions and 12 concentrations have been measured on lavas and basement rocks from the Edgecumbe volcanic field, SE Alaska. Measured isotopic ratios have the following ranges: 206Pb204Pb = 18.477–19.161; 207Pb204Pb = 15.562–15.679; 208Pb204Pb = 38.17–38.85. While the data form well-constrained linear arrays on Pb-Pb diagrams, no simple correlation exists with major element composition. Basaltic lavas (≤ 51 wt% SiO2) are characterized by two isotopic groups. The olivine basalt (≤ 48% SiO2) is more radiogenic than the plagioclase basalt (48–51%) which also shows more heterogeneity. In the silica range 52–55%, Pb isotopic ratios increase significantly but remain fairly constant in the range 55–70% SiO2. Lead concentrations vary from 1 ppm in the basalts to 7 ppm in the rhyodacites. Analyzed basement rocks are more radiogenic than any of the lavas (206Pb204Pb = 19.20; 207Pb204Pb = 15.65; 208Pb204Pb = 38.86. The Pb isotopic data are qualitatively consistent with the contamination process described by Myerset al. (1984). However, because of fundamental differences in the mixing relations between the Sr system studied earlier and the Pb system, the new Pb data have revealed details of the process not apparent from the Sr data alone. In particular, it has been shown that the parent magma was more primitive than originally assumed, and that two contamination events are recorded in the lavas. The first event, involving a mafic parent and different crustal contaminants, produced the intermediate and siliceous hybrids in cupolas located above the main basaltic chamber. The types of country rock intruded as well as the degree of partial fusion achieved in individual cupolas controlled the range of hybrid compositions produced while the eruption sequence was determined by the order in which the cupolas were tapped. The second contamination event produced the plagioclase basalt, the most voluminous basaltic unit, by mixing the mafic parent with the olivine basalt, an independent, primary magma. Our results suggest crustal contamination models that assume bulk assimilation of crustal end members may be too simplistic.  相似文献

Pb isotopic abundances and U-Th-Pb concentrations are reported for feldspar megacrysts from the 3.59 AE old Amîtsoq gneisses, Godthaab District, West Greenland. The distinctive Pb in the feldspars is the most primitive terrestrial Pb so far observed. It is observed in feldspars which are from different geographic localities and which exhibit varying degrees of deformation and recrystallization. This appear to be either the initial Pb in the Amîtsoq gneiss or the initial Pb only slightly modified by subsequent metamorphism in a low 238U204Pb environment. 238U204Pb in the feldspars is low and the corrections for in situ produced Pb are only 0.4% for 207Pb206Pb and 0.6% for 204Pb206Pb. The mean corrected isotopic abundances are 204Pb206Pb = 0.08720, 207Pb206Pb = 1.1513, and 208Pb206Pb = 2.7350. The feldspars contain a very small amount of easily leachable radiogenic Pb which is correlated with U and which indicates the formation of U-rich phases at about 2.7 AE. The matrix surrounding the feldspar megacrysts contains Pb which is much evolved relative to the megacrysts and this matrix does not appear to have behaved as a simple closed system. Element redistribution and open system behavior at about 2.7 AE is also suggested by Pb in feldspar from a dike cutting across the gneiss. Assuming that the Amîtsoq gneiss feldspar Pb corrected for in situ U decay was the initial Pb in the gneiss at 3.59 AE (Baadsgaard, 1973), a single-stage “age of the earth” is determined as 4.47 ± 0.05 AE and μ is 8.5. This is indistinguishable from the single-stage age for modern rocks and is distinctly younger than the 4.55 AE age of some meteorites. If the feldspar Pb was modified by metamorphism at 2.7 AE the model age of the earth is calculated as 4.53 AE which is similar to the 4.55 AE age of some meteorites. Two-stage models using the nominal 3.59 AE initial Pb indicate that if the earth is ~4.55 AE old then μ values were low in the early Earth's history and differentiation occurred within a few hundred million years after the planet formed.  相似文献

The Hidra Massif (Rogaland complex, S.W. Norway) is a massif-type anorthositic-charnockitic body. It consists of undeformed anorthosites and leuconorites, grading into fine-grained jotunites at the contact with the granulite facies gneisses of the metamorphic envelope. A stockwork of charnockitic dykes cross-cuts the massif. The Pb isotopic compositions of the anorthosites and leuconorites are comparable or slightly less radiogenic than those of the jotunites (206Pb204Pb from 18.079 to 19.307,(207Pb204Pb from 15.568 to 15.657 and 208Pb204Pb from 37.617 to 38.493). These values are compatible with an upper mantle origin for the parental magma of jotunitic composition and for the plagioclasic cumulates, but show the incorporation of lower crustal material (U-depleted and thus less radiogenic). The charnockitic dykes have significantly less radiogenic Pb isotopic compositions (206Pb204Pb from 17.472 to 19.171, 207Pb204Pb from 15.489 to 15.620and 208Pb204Pb from 36.991 to 40.922) which can be explained by a larger proportion of lower crustal contamination material. The contaminant could be the granulite facies gneisses of the metamorphic envelope. This interpretation is compatible with the K-Rb relationships of these rocks and with the O and Sr isotopic geochemistry.The proportion of contaminating lead in the charnockitic dykes can be estimated at 55 ± 15% considering the border facies jotunite as the uncontaminated parental magma and the least radiogenic gneiss of the metamorphic envelope as the contaminant.  相似文献

Lead isotope data on late Precambrian igneous rocks from the eastern desert of Egypt are presented. Previous work has indicated that this igneous suite is characterized by uniformly low initial ratios of 37Sr86Sr (< 0.7035). The Pb data define three groups, loosely corresponding to age. An older tonalite to granodiorite (OTG) suite, with ages in the range 610–710 Ma, has Pb isotope characteristics similar to modern, mantle-derived oceanic mafic rocks. The age-corrected initial Pb isotope ratios of the OTG group lie near the “ocean regression line” in correlation diagrams of 206Pb204Pb vs. 207Pb204Pb and 203Pb204Pb. The isotope data imply an origin for the OTG group analogous to calc-alkalic igneous rocks in modern intra-oceanic island arcs.A younger suite of K-rich plutonic rocks (570–595 Ma) has similar 206Pb204Pb and 208Pb204Pb initial ratios relative to the OTG suite, but have higher 207Pb204Pb initial ratios when calculated from measured whole-rock U and Pb contents. However, K-feldspar and galena, associated with this suite, indicate initial Pb isotope ratios close to the OTG suite. We interpret this to indicate that the younger granites could have originated by anatexis of OTG-type material, but they probably experienced an episode of metasomatism after emplacement.A suite of volcanic rocks (the Dokhan Volcanics) from the central eastern desert are intermediate between the younger granites and OTG in both age (~ 610 Ma) and Pb isotope characteristics.Limited data on initial 208Pb204Pb ratios suggest that all the Egyptian samples originated from a source with anomalously low ThPb ratios.Although the relative abundance of granitic rocks in the Egyptian Shield decreases to the south, no evidence of north-south heterogeneity in the Pb isotope composition of the respective source regions is apparent in the data. However, the westernmost sample studied, from the Aswan area, contains distinctly more radiogenic Pb relative to the mean. This location may mark the boundary between the Late Precambrian ensimatic orogen now outcropping in the Egyptian and Saudi Arabian Shields, and an older sialic craton to the west.  相似文献

The U-Th-Pb isotope systematics of the eucrite “Juvinas” have been studied in whole rock fragments as well as in plagioclases and pyroxenes. The results show that this monomict breccia crystallized with a very high UPb initial ratio at T = 4.539 ± 0.004 AE ago. There is evidence for a less radiogenic Pb component (206Pb204Pb = 13.0; 207Pb204Pb = 13.5; 208Pb204Pb = 32.71) interpreted as “exotic lead” induced by a meteoritical impact at the surface of the Juvinas parent body, 1.92 ± 0.06 AE ago.  相似文献

Analytical techniques have been developed for using a secondary ion mass spectrometer, the ion microprobe mass analyzer (IMMA), to determine, in situ, 207Pb206Pb and U/Pb ages on approximately 10-μm areas of individual mineral phases containing relatively abundant radiogenic Pb isotopes. Standard samples of known age and U, Th and Pb contents, together with the Andersen-Hinthorne local thermal equilibrium (LTE) model for predicting ionization parameters are used to establish a semi-empirical relationship for correcting observed U/Pb intensities to atom ratios. Measurements of isotope standards show that mass fractionation corrections are not required and that the accuracy and precision of analysis are generally limited by Poisson counting statistics.Many U-rich accessory minerals yield spectra which consist only of Pb at masses 204, 206, 207 and 208; thus the measurement of 207Pb206Pb ages is accomplished by simply measuring the intensities of these peaks and the background. An excellent correspondence of the ages determined using the IMMA with those from more conventional techniques is demonstrated for terrestrial, lunar and meteoritic phases. For example, the following 207Pb206Pb ages were obtained from polished thin sections of crystalline lunar samples: 10047, 3.75 ± 0.05 (2σ) Ga; 14310, 3.96 ± 0.03 Ga; and 15555, 3.36 ± 0.06 Ga. From small U-rich phases in CaAl-rich inclusions in the Allende carbonaceous chondrite, seven 207Pb206Pb ages were obtained, averaging 4.60 ± 0.09 (2σ) Ga.A method of correcting low-resolution Pb-isotope data for molecular ion interferences in zircon and baddeleyite is presented and shown to be practical through the analysis of terrestrial and lunar samples.  相似文献

The Monteregian Hills and younger White Mountain alkaline intrusions were emplaced into the Cambro-Ordovician sediments of the St. Lawrence Lowlands and the folded and thrusted Lower Paleozoic sequence of the Appalachian orogen. Age relations indicate that there is a fine-scale structure to the igneous activity, with slightly undersaturated to critically saturated rocks emplaced between 141 and 128 Ma and strongly undersaturated rocks emplaced between 121 and 117 Ma.Sr and Pb isotopic data for the mantle-derived alkali picrite, alkali olivine basalt and basanite magmas, indicate derivation from a depleted mantle similar to that which produces present-day oceanic island basalts. For the most isotopically primitive samples, decay-corrected 87Sr86Sr = 0.7030–0.7037, 206Pb204Pb = 19.05–19.72, 207Pb204Pb = 15.56–15.65, and 208Pb204Pb = 38.64–39.26. On Pb-Sr isotope correlation diagrams the data define trends similar to those for MOR basalts, implying mantle heterogeneity which requires the presence of a component enriched in radiogenic Pb relative to Sr. The interaction of these isotopically primitive magmas with the crust can be defined in terms of a three component system: depleted mantle-Grenville age crust-Lower Paleozoic age crust. The granitic magmas were apparently derived from the Lower Paleozoic crust of the Appalachian orogen.For the mantle-derived magmas, Th/U ratios vary from 2.5 (estimated ratio for MORB source) to 5.1, with the mean value near that of the bulk earth. The variations in Th/U suggest mantle heterogeneity on a local scale, and the high Th/U of some samples suggests that the mantle was enriched in incompatible elements shortly before melting. The magmas derived by partial melting of the crust have Th/U of 3.3 to 8.7, and the higher ratios are associated with rocks crystallized from magmas that originated by melting of Lower Paleozoic sediments.The Sr and Pb isotopic data support the conclusion of Bellet al. (1982) that the subcontinental mantle under eastern Canada underwent a Precambrian depletion event. This depleted mantle apparently extends under the White Mountain province and is isotopically similar to the mantle which gives rise to oceanic island basalts. In contrast, Pb isotopic ratios for the New England Seamount chain (TARAS and HART, 1983), which apparently represents the oceanic extension of this magmatic activity, are significantly more radiogenic. It is possible that a mantle plume provided the heat energy, and perhaps metasomatic fluids, to trigger melting in the subcontinental mantle, whereas in the case of the oceanic extension the plume directly contributed to the observed magmatism, as reflected in the more radiogenic Pb ratios.  相似文献

U-Th-Pb, Pb-Pb, Rb-Sr and K-Ar radiometric relationships in the minerals from six selected Amîtsoq gneiss samples reveal a complicated history of variable mineral response to polymetamorphism.K-Ar dates on biotite range from 2170 to 3220 m.y. (excess argon present), on hornblende from 2340 to 2510, and on a single muscovite at 1670 m.y.Rb-Sr whole rock results give an apparent isochron of at least 4065 m.y., but this result is likely fortuitous from a small sample selection since Pb-Pb whole rock analyses give ~ 3600 m.y. and the zircons in these rocks yield a concordia-discordia intersection at 3600 m.y. Rb-Sr mineral analyses generally give a confusing and variable pattern of isotopic relationships; but hornblende, K-feldspar, apatite, allanite and sphene appear to have last responded to metamorphism at 2200–2600 m.y. Rb-Sr in biotite, epidote and, in part, plagioclase have been affected by an event at ~ 1550 m.y.U-Th-Pb data from sphene, apatite and allanite give almost concordant dates at 2500–2600 m.y. soul207Pb204Pb vs soul206Pb204Pb plots yield two separate lines for apatite (slope age 2435 m.y.) and for sphene + allanite (slope age 2530 m.y.), indicating apatite to have a different (less-radiogenic) ‘initial’ Pb than that for sphene and allanite. A similar pattern is found for the soul208Pb204Pb vs soul207Pb204Pb plot for sphene and apatite. The Pb-isotopic composition of the feldspars is very homogeneous and the least-radiogenic of all components, pointing towards a homogeneous parent material for the now lithologically diverse Amîtsoq gneisses. Using a0 = 9.307, b0 = 10.294, C0 = 29.476, t0 = 4.56 b.y., ω = 6.9 and soul232Th204Pb = 27.1; the feldspars give a model Pb age of 3500–3600 m.y. by either U-derived or Th-derived Pb. The segregation of the present Amîtsoq gneisses from the homogeneous parent material was apparently accompanied by a U and Th loss with preservation or enrichment of Pb at ~ 3600 m.y. ago. No consistent treatment of the present U-Th-Pb data will produce viable data indicating an age > 3600 m.y. for the parent materials of the Amîtsoq gneiss.Petrographie observations generally concur with radiometric results and permit the postulation of the reaction: Hbl + K-feld→ biotite + epidote + sodic plag, to account for some of the effects of the latest metamorphism.The total internal radiometric evidence indicates three major metamorphic events affected the Amîtsoq gneisses close to 3600, 2500 and 1550 m.y.  相似文献

Cold Bay and Amak Island, two Quaternary volcanic centers in the eastern Aleutians, are orthogonal relative to the trench and separated by ~50 km. Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic compositions of the calc-alkaline andesite magmas show no sign of contamination from continental crust (average 87Sr86Sr = 0.70323, 143Nd144Nd = 0.51301, 206Pb204Pb = 18.82, 207Pb204Pb = 15.571). These samples plot within the mantle arrays for Sr-Nd and for Pb and are similar to arcs such as the Marianas and New Britain (Sr-Nd) and Marianas and Tonga (Pb). Incompatible element ratios for the Aleutian andesites (K/Rb ~ 332, K/Cs ~ 10,600, K/Sr ~ 22.4, K/Ba ~ 18.3, Ba/La ~ 60) are within the range reported for arc basalts, despite the difference in degree of fractionation.Average K content, K/Rb, K/Ba and K/Sr are approximately the same for basalts from arcs and from oceanic islands (OIB); K/Cs is a factor of 4 lower and Ba/La almost 3 times higher in arcs. Abundance ratio correlations indicate that arcs are enriched in Cs and depleted in La relative to OIB, with other incompatible element abundances very similar. Histograms of Sr and Nd isotopic compositions for MORB, OIB, and intraoceanic arcs show remarkably similar peaks and distribution patterns for intraoceanic arcs and OIB.A “plum pudding” model for the upper mantle best accommodates a) geochemical coherence of OIB and IAV, b) the existence of mantle plumes at some oceanic islands, and c) the presence of a MORB-type source at back arc spreading centers. In this model, OIB plums are imbedded in a MORB matrix; small degrees of melting generate OIB-type magmas while larger degrees of melting dilute the OIB magma with MORB matrix melts.OIB plums are merely less robust lower mantle plumes (i.e., blobs) which are distributed throughout the upper mantle by convection. The existence of at least two types of OIB, as indicated by Sr, Nd, and Pb isotopes, suggests that nuggets of recycled oceanic lithosphère may coexist with lower-mantle plums and that both may be tapped in arcs and intraplate environments.  相似文献

Computer simulation of random errors in the measurements for the double spike technique applied to Pb isotope analyses, indicates that normalized error multiplication factors for the calculated values of isotope ratios lie in the range 2 to 3. The optimum isotopic composition of the tracer is about 207Pb204Pb = 2.0 and the optimum ratio of amount of tracer to amount of unknown is about P = 1.0. Determination of errors in the fractionation factor alone does not adequately describe the ultimate errors in the calculated isotope ratios except under special circumstances. Uncertainty in the actual composition of the tracer is closely proportional to uncertainty in the unknown composition. The purity of the spike is unimportant at least as long as the separated 207Pb and 204Pb isotopes are greater than 90% pure.  相似文献

A linear relation is derived for the secular evolution of 206Pb204Pb, 207Pb204Pb and 208Pb204Pb ratios, that permits tests to be made for open system evolution on each system independently. Application of the method to conformable ore bodies of various geological age indicates that the available data do not demand an open system evolution for the last 3.8 b.y. 238U204Pb and 232Th204Pb of 9.66 ± 0.15 and 37.65 ± 1.14 respectively fit best the data for this time interval.A single stage evolution since 4.5 b.y. is unlikely, however, and the major events of continent formation postdate the Earth accretion by at least 400 m.y. The larger scatter of 207Pb204Pb data about the evolution line relative to the other isotopic ratios is also interpreted as resulting from a series of continental differentiation events taking place at 3.85 ± 0.15 b.y.  相似文献

Ion microprobe analyses of returned lunar material have helped to demonstrate that U, Th and radiogenic Pb are concentrated in small accessory mineral phases. It is possible to measure the isotopic composition of this Pb and obtain a radiometric 207Pb206Pb age for the mineral. The ages so derived compare favorably with crystallization ages determined by conventional methods. A grain mount (22003,26) of Luna 20 material was searched for such accessory mineral phases and two were found. One of these phases gives an age of 4.12 ± 0.04 b.y. and the other an age of 4.42 ± 0.11 b.y. Ages of minerals dated by the ion probe in Apollo samples 14310 and 15555 are given for comparison. Data on the upper limit for Pb concentration in the outermost surface layers of free lunar soil particles are also given.  相似文献

The isotopic composition of Pb and Sr and the abundances of Rb, Sr, U, Th, and Pb were determined for whole rock samples from all major volcanic centres of the Cenozoic alkaline volcanism of Central and South Italy, together with some samples from the contemporaneous anatectic Tuscan volcanism. The Sr and Pb isotopic compositions of the alkaline rocks show a negative correlation combined with a regional trend: the 87Sr86Sr ratios decrease from 0.711 in the north-west to 0.704 in the south-east, while the 206Pb204Pb ratios increase from 18.7 to 20.0. Variations in both isotopic compositions are generally small throughout erupted rock sequences for any volcanic centre.The Pb and Sr isotopic abundance variations are interpreted on the basis of two alternative models, which correspond to two groups of geological processes: variations can result (i) from a time dependent development in subsystems with different RbSr or U(Th)Pb ratios or, (ii) from mixing of Sr or Pb with different isotopic compositions. Combining both Pb and Sr isotope abundance measurements it is shown that the source of each volcanic centre is formed by various degrees of mixing between two components. One component and the most southern Tuscan anatectic rocks most likely have a common source, whereas the other component of the mixing process is suggested to be a liquid fraction derived from a small degree of partial fusion of a hydrous mantle. Thus at least a two-stage evolution of the Italian alkaline rocks is indicated: first a mixing process leading to the formation of the parental material followed by differentiation processes leading to the formation of the erupted rock sequences.The geodynamic model which explains the data best is that of a lateral inhomogeneous mantle. The lateral inhomogeneities in the mantle would be the result of mixing between originally mantle and crustal derived material. The mixing process itself would not have any primary connection with the Quarternary volcanic activity.  相似文献

Combined elemental and Sr, Nd, Pb and O isotopic data for late Cenozoic olivine tholeiite lavas from the northwestern Great Basin indicate derivation from at least two chemically and isotopically distinct mantle source regions with no significant modification by interaction with continental crust. The lack of crustal involvement is a direct reflection of the extensional tectonic environment which favors rapid ascent of magmas, minimal residence time in crustal magma chambers and scattered fissure eruptions.The observed chemical and isotopic variations in the tholeiite suite are attributed to mixing between depleted oceanic type mantle (87Sr86Sr ~ 0.7030 and 143Nd144Nd ~ 0.51305) and old, chemically heterogeneous, isotopically enriched subcontinental mantle (87Sr86Sr ~ 0.7078 and 143Nd144Nd ~ 0.51233). Model incompatible element concentrations suggest strong similarities between the depleted mantle and the mantles beneath normal oceanic ridge segments and back-arc basins and between the enriched mantle and the mantle beneath enriched oceanic ridge segments such as the Azores. Superimposed upon the characteristics derived from the two component mixing model may be the effects of a third mantle source which is identifiable only by its apparent radiogenic 206Pb204Pb ratios. If present, this third source may reflect a component derived from the downgoing slab of an ancient subduction zone.  相似文献

A simple procedure for the decomposition of zircon and the extraction of U and Pb for isotopic age determinations has been developed and tested (Krogh, 1971a,b). Samples are decomposed at 220°C with 48 per cent HF in a Teflon® capsule confined by a self-sealing stainless steel jacket. Uranium and lead are isolated on a Teflon® anion exchange column using Dowex 1 resin. Measured lead contamination levels range from 0.5 to 5.0 ng. In contrast, lead blanks for the borax fusion technique used in all previous zircon analyses are typically 0.2 to 1.0 μg.Eight small samples weighing 0.3 to 7 mg contained 30 to 260 ng of Pb206. The average value for the total amount of common lead present in the lead isotopic composition analysis, contributed from both the sample and the chemical procedures, was 1.4 ng. The highest Pb206Pb204 ratio measured to date (126,000) was obtained on a 0.1-g sample that contained 50 ppm of Pb206. An exact determination of the amount of common lead in zircons is now possible. A maximum value of 0.3 ppm was found for fourteen nonmagnetic zircon fractions from granites and rhyolites. Higher values reported in the literature suggest that lead contamination levels are often underestimated in the analysis of zircons by the borax fusion technique.The silica-gel loading technique for lead provides stable emission for small samples as well as limited isotopic fractionation in the mass spectrometer. These features, combined with the low levels of lead contamination and the high precision of mass spectrometric analyses, make possible an average reproducibility (for duplicate decompositions of the same finely ground sample) of 0.3 m.y. for lead 207206 ages of 2750 m.y. The new method requires fewer reagents and is much easier than the borax fusion technique.  相似文献

The synthetic chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) has been used to evaluate the stoichiometric solubility product of galena (PbS) at 298°K: Ks2 = aPb2+aHS?aH+ This method circumvents the possible uncertainties in the stoichiometry and stability of lead sulfide complexes. At infinite dilution, Log Ks2 = ?12.25 ±0.17, and at an ionic strength corresponding to seawater (I = 0.7 M), Log Ks2 = ?11.73 ± 0.05. Using the value of Ks2 at infinite dilution, and the free energies of formation of HS? and Pb2+ at 298°K (literature values), the free energy of formation of PbS at 298°K is computed to be ?79.1 ± 0.8 KJ/mol (?18.9 Kcal/mol). Galena is shown to be more than two orders of magnitude more soluble than indicated by calculations based on previous thermodynamic data.  相似文献

Sulfur isotope investigations carried out on elemental sulfur and sulfates of the Nea Kameni solfataras, Santorini, Aegean Sea, Greece, show a clear enrichment in the heavy sulfur isotope 34S against the assumed primordial 32S34S ratio of 22,220. Within the same crater, different vents, only a few meters apart from each other, produced δ differences up to 10‰, which remained constant for several years. This enrichment is most probably due to contamination by heavy sulfur from a nonvolcanic source. An enrichment in the same order of magnitude was observed in sulfur of recent and older lavas (δ 34S = ?1 ? +11‰).Potential contaminants like sulfide sulfur in hydrothermal ore veins of Athinios has a δ 34S mean value close to 0‰, sulfide and sulfate in the sedimentary basement has a δ 34S mean value of +2.6‰. Seawater sulfate from the area gives a value of δ 34S = 20‰, while sulfide from bacterial reduction of pore-water sulfate in recent iron ore sediments has δ 34S values between ?8 and ?5‰. Sulfate remaining in the pore solutions gave δ 34S = +27‰.The most probable explanation for the observed high δ 34S values in the solfataric sulfur and in some of the lavas of the Santorini area is contamination of the volcanic vents by Mediterranean Sea water.  相似文献

The stability constants, K1MB, for borate complexes with the ions of Cu, Pb, Cd and Zn are determined in this work by DPASV in 0.7 M KNO3 at metal concentrations of 10?7 M. The acidity constants of the Cu2+ ion are determined by DPASV in the same conditions. The following values for log K1MB (β1MB2) have been obtained: CuB: 3.48, CuB2: 6.13, PbB: 2.20, PbB2: 4.41, ZnB: 0.9, ZnB2: 3.32, CdB: 1.42, and CdB2: 2.7, while the values for the acidity constants of Cu are pK1CuOH = 7.66 and 1Cu(OH2) = 15.91. At the low concentration of boron in 35%. S sea-water complexes with borate represent only about 0.2% Cu, 0.03% Pb, 0.02% Zn and 0.003% Cd.  相似文献
