In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to compare the growth of pure calcite and the growth of calcite in the presence of sulfate ions from aqueous solutions at a constant value of supersaturation (S.I. = 0.89) with respect to calcite. The effect of sulfate ions on calcite growth rates is determined and a potential incorporation of sulfate ions is identified in the calcite during growth. Solutions supersaturated with respect to calcite with solution concentration ratio of one and a constant pH of 10.2, were prepared and sulfate was added as Na2SO4 aqueous solution. The solution composition was readjusted in order to keep the supersaturation and pH constant. PHREEQC was used to determine relevant solution concentrations. In situ AFM experiments of calcite growth were performed using a fluid cell and flowing solutions passed over a freshly cleaved calcite surface. Growth rates were determined from the closure of the rhombohedral etch pits induced by initial dissolution with pure water. The spreading rate of 2-dimensional nuclei was also measured. At low concentrations of sulfate (≤ 0.5 mM), no effect on the growth rate of the calcite was observed. At higher concentrations (2 to 3 mM) of sulfate, the growth rate increased, possibly because a higher concentration of calcium and carbonate was necessary to maintain the supersaturation constant. At much higher concentrations of additional sulfate (up to 60 mM) the growth rate of the calcite was substantially decreased, despite the fact that a further increase of calcium and carbonate was required. The morphology of 2-dimensional growth nuclei became increasingly elongated with increasing sulfate content. Measurements of step height showed that newly grown steps were approximately 1 Å higher when grown in high sulfate concentrations, compared to steps grown in sulfate-free solutions. At sulfate concentrations above 5 mM the growth mechanism changes from layer growth to surface roughening. These observations suggest that the new growth has incorporated sulfate into the calcite surface.  相似文献

Mineralogical and isotope-chemical characteristics of carbonate travertines of the Greater Caucasus are investigated. It is shown that concentrations of many chemical elements, which predominantly precipitate together with iron hydroxides, decrease along the strike of the travertine dome. At the same time, δ13C and 18O values in carbonates systematically increase due to kinetic effects of isotope fractionation. This leads to the formation of isotopically heavy calcite (δ13C up to 16.3‰) near the travertine dome base. Concentrations of other elements (Mg, Sr, Ba, Na, S, and Li), which form a isomorphic part of calcite crystal lattice, almost do not change along the strike of the dome. Comparison of concentrations of these elements in travertines and initial water solutions makes it possible to get ideas on trends of their redistribution in the carbonate-water system. Correlations found in this work define not only TDS content and concentration of some ions, but also REE spectra and formation temperatures of ancient fluid systems.  相似文献

富含Ca2+ 和HCO3-的水体是黄龙钙华地貌得以持续沉积的首要条件。为明确2017年九寨沟“8·8”地震是否对黄龙脆弱钙华体产生影响并进而导致水环境的改变,于2017年10月和2018年8月对黄龙3个主要监测点进行了水样采集和水质参数检测。通过主成分分析震前的多次水质检测结果,得到影响黄龙水化学的主要参数,并与震后的水化学参数进行对比分析,发现:2016年（震前）水质参数显示pH、总磷、总氮对黄龙水质起主要贡献作用,地震后水体的pH、Ca2+ 和HCO3-含量上升,而总磷含量则下降较多,表明地震对黄龙钙华体内部结构产生了影响,导致上升泉（转花泉）中的Ca2+ 和HCO3- 含量增加,并影响了pH,而震后水体中的总磷含量减少,这可能与游客数量大幅度减少有关;“8·8”地震对黄龙钙华沉积区水环境造成了影响,并有利于钙华沉积。   相似文献

本文通过调查黄龙风景区水体的环境地质特征与微生物群落结构及多样性,并与黄石公园对比分析,探讨了两种特殊地理环境下的微生物群落结构和多样性及其对钙华沉积的影响。结果表明:黄龙沟泉水属于地下冷泉,且景区内覆盖着大量植被,水体中有大量藻类和细菌;黄石公园猛犸象温泉区泉水属于地下热泉,植被覆盖率很低,泉水中微生物多为嗜热菌,藻类较少。黄龙与黄石钙华主要由方解石组成并且微生物参与了钙华的形成过程。微生物对钙华沉积的作用,主要分为模板作用、产物诱导作用和代谢调控作用,对比探讨了特殊地质环境下的微生物对钙华沉积的贡献,指出微生物沉积作用在钙华沉积过程中的重要性,可为黄龙钙华“黑化”防治提供理论依据。   相似文献

世界自然遗产-四川黄龙钙华景观的形成与演化   总被引：15，自引：4，他引：11  
本文对作者十余年来在四川黄龙(世界遗产地)的钙华研究成果和最新的一些监测发现进行了综述, 目的是为公众更好地了解黄龙、保护黄龙提供科学基础。主要结果和结论是: (1)黄龙钙华的形成是由于地球深部高分压的CO2在碳酸盐岩补给区产生富含碳酸氢钙的地下水, 当其以泉的形式出露地表时, 由于泉水的CO2分压远远高于空气, 泉水中的CO2大量逸出, 结果导致碳酸钙过饱和而发生沉积; (2)黄龙钙华的颜色以黄色为主色调, 主要是在雨季因雨水冲刷土壤向水中混入泥沙的缘故; 而在旱季, 钙华主要形成于清亮干净的泉水, 因此, 钙华的颜色呈现出纯净碳酸钙沉积的本色-白色。这也是黄龙洞钙华剖面年层中出现黄-白相间亚层的原因; (3)高精度的铀-钍同位素测年表明, 黄龙钙华主体是全新世以来形成的; (4)地表水向地下河的漏失是黄龙地表水日益减少, 导致钙华体表面干涸, 从而气生蓝藻大量滋生, 致使某些钙华变黑的主要原因, 因此, 有必要尽早采取防渗补水措施; (5)旅游活动已对黄龙钙华景观产生影响, 包括上游人为践踏使下游钙华池淤塞, 以及磷酸盐污染使硅藻等过度繁殖和钙华沉积速率可能降低等, 因此, 必须尽早采取相应防控措施。  相似文献

Calcite dendrite crystals are important but poorly understood components of calcite travertine that forms around many hot springs. The Lýsuhóll hot-spring deposits, located in western Iceland, are formed primarily of siliceous sinters that were precipitated around numerous springs that are now inactive. Calcite travertine formed around the vent and on the discharge apron of one of the springs at the northern edge of the area. The travertine is formed largely of two types (I and II) of complex calcite dendrite crystals, up to 1 cm high, that grew through the gradual addition of trilete sub-crystals. The morphology of the dendrite crystals was controlled by flow direction and the competition for growth space with neighbouring crystals. Densely crowded dendrites with limited branching characterize the rimstone dams whereas widely spaced dendrites with open branching are found in the pools. Many dendrite bushes in the pools nucleated around plant stems. Growth of the dendrite crystals was seasonal and incremental. Calcite precipitation was driven by rapid CO2 degassing of CO2-rich spring waters during the spring and summer. During winter, when snow covered the ground and temperatures were low, opal-A precipitated on the exposed surfaces of the dendrites. Segmentation of dendrite branches by discontinuities coated with opal-A and overgrowth development around sub-crystals resulted from this seasonal growth cycle. The calcite dendrite crystals in the Lýsuhóll travertine differ in morphology from those at other hot springs, such as those at Lake Bogoria, Kenya, and Waikite in New Zealand. Comparison with the calcite dendrite crystals found at those sites shows that dendrite morphology is site-specific and probably controlled by carbonate saturation levels that, in turn, are controlled by the rate of CO2 degassing and location in the spring outflow system.  相似文献

Secondary carbonate formations, such as travertine and calcareous tufa deposits, are important archives for quaternary continental climate studies and archaeology. The extremely complex growth mechanisms result in some serious problems for precise mass spectrometric uranium-series dating. Often, detrital and organic particles contaminate the carbonate and large pore volumes yield a great potential for open system behavior. We utilized microscopic, mineralogical and geochemical methods prior to sample selection to determine the abundance of primary calcite, i.e. micrite and spar. Furthermore, the state of alteration was characterized by cathodoluminescence and trace-element analysis. We conclude that travertine and calcareous tufa are appropriate for precise U-series age determination if a) micrite and/or spar are the dominant phases; b) cathodoluminescence of both phases is weak or absent; c) Fe and Al levels are low; and d) Sr concentrations are close to the average of the studied site. We mapped and sampled solely areas of major micrite/spar abundance having minor alteration for accurate U-series dating. When this new method was applied, travertines located in eastern Germany (sites Bad Langensalza, Burgtonna and Weimar-Ehringsdorf) gave single 230Th/238U-ages consistent with the lithological growth sequence and greatly improved compared to previously published chronologies. In addition, we determined 230Th/U isochron ages on bulk samples that confirm our single ages. In contrast to primary calcite, pore cements are homogeneously distributed throughout the travertine fabric and reflect early diagenetic processes and/or weathering.  相似文献

During the production of hydrocarbons from subterranean reservoirs, scaling with calcium carbonate and barium sulfate causes flux decline and dangerous problems in production facilities. This work is intended to study the effect of calcium ions on the precipitation of barium sulfate (barite); then, the effect of the formed barite on calcium carbonate crystallization. The conductometric and pH methods were used to follow the progress of the precipitation reaction in aqueous medium. The obtained precipitates were characterized by FTIR, RAMAN, SEM, and XRD. It was shown that Ca2+ in the reaction media does not affect the microstructure of barite even for higher calcium–barium molar ratio. It influences the precipitation kinetics and the solubility of barite by the formation of CaSO4° ion pairing as a predominant role of complex formation (CaSO4) and the increase of the ionic strength. In Ca(HCO3)2-BaSO4-NaCl aqueous system, experiments have showed that added or formed barite in the reaction media accelerates calcite precipitation. No effect on the microstructure of heterogeneous formed calcite which remain calcite shape. However the presence of carbonate ions affects slightly the microstructure of barite.  相似文献

Formation of travertines from continental waters requires very special conditions. Their porous, cellular and concretionary appearance is often due to calcite incrustations on plants. Therefore the high porosity beside a very low concentration of detrital silicates must be related to a high rate of calcite accumulation (0.1 to 1 mm/year). A high rate of sedimentation from high Ca-concentrations (>0.01%) does not occur in normal continental waters equilibrated with the atmospheric carbon dioxide.Formation of travertines is probably not an indicator of special climatic conditions as often assumed but is related to a special chemical composition of fresh waters. Creeks with continuous travertine deposition, investigated by us, contain about 200 ppm Ca. This is more than ten times the normal concentration of average continental waters. Bicarbonate concentration in these waters is five times that of equilibrium with atmospheric carbondioxide. Many of the productive waters are characterized by high sulfate concentrations and Sr/Ca-ratios (1000 Sr/Ca ranges from 9 to 22; seawater: 20).Except one from the Schwäbische Alb 15 samples (Leine-valley, Teutoburger Wald, Thüringen) are high in sulfate and Sr/Ca-ratio to be accumulated in waters with remarkable concentrations in the respective elements. The Sr/Ca-ratios cannot be explained from dissolved limestones underlying the exposed areas. The assumption of dissolution of gypsum beds very well explains our observations and data. From the S32/S34 ratio an origin from Zechstein (Upper Permian), Muschelkalk (Middle Triassic) or Keuper (Upper Triassic) deposits respectively can be assumed. Like other freshwater limestones the travertines under investigation differ from marine carbonates by their light carbon (mean C13 –8,1) from decomposed organic matter and their light oxygen (mean O18 –6,7) from exchange with freshwaters. The discrimination freshwater- and marine limestones in oxygen isotopes is only valid for those of low age (Upper Mesozoic to Recent).Hence the special conditions of travertine formation are related to bicarbonate spring waters which have circulated on faults where they could dissolve gypsum (and/or calcite) from subsurface beds.Additional examples of travertine deposits from Czechoslovakia (Zyka, 1958), Lüneburger Heide (NW Germany), Italy (Tivoli near Rom) and Jugoslavia can be explained as formations of either sulfate-bicarbonate or of bicarbonate waters.

Hydrochemical studies of the Plitvice Lakes and their tributaries (Croatia/Yugoslavia) were coupled with micromorphological investigations on carbonate lake sediments and recent travertines. Karst springs discharge water from aquifers in Triassic and Jurassic dolomites and limestones and collect in lakes, which are ponded behind accreting travertine dams. Waters at springs have a high CO2 partial-pressure (greater than 7000 ppm) and are slightly undersaturated with respect to calcite (saturation index less than —0·03). CO2 partial pressure is quickly reduced in swift running streams, leading to very high supersaturation with carbonate minerals (saturation indices between 0·74 and 0·53). Calcite deposition, however, is restricted to the lake bottoms (formation of lake marl) and to the tufa dams. The annual carbonate precipitating capacity of the system based on water balance and downstream loss of dissolved ions is estimated to be on the order of 10 000 t CaCO3 as cascade deposits (tufa dams) or as micrite in lakes behind the travertine dams. The initial stages of travertine formation as a result of morphological, biological, and chemical factors are (i) moss settling on small ridges in the creek courses, (ii) epiphytes (diatoms and cyanobacteria) settling on the moss surface, (iii) micrite particles resuspending from lake bottoms and being trapped on mucous excretions from bacteria and diatoms, and (iv) inorganic calcite precipitating as sparite at nucleation sites provided by these crystal seeds. Geochemical studies of the lake marl and tufa dams show that amino acids are dominated by aspartic acid. Carbohydrates come from structural polysaccharides of diatoms. The sticky excretions, rich in aspartic acid, are necessary for the initiation of calcite precipitation. They may be a response of algal and bacterial metabolism to environmental stress by either nutrient depletion or high calcium concentrations in ambient waters. The formation of tufa and micrite (lake marl) appears to be initiated by localized biological factors and is not governed by mere calcite supersaturation of the water. Oligotrophy may be an essential precondition for the formation of fresh water carbonate deposits.  相似文献

Recent caliche, including nodules, pisolites, crusts, internal sediment, speleothem deposits, and spherulites, has formed within the dolomitic Cretaceous Edwards Formation of central Texas. As weathering altered the host strata, rhombic crystals of calcite were precipitated concomitantly with dissolution of the dolomite, thereby forming nodules. The highly altered dolomite (i.e. pulverulite) was then removed and spar, internal sediment, and travertine accumulated in the internodular voids. Nodular masses of calcite and dolomite are the most prominent constituent of the caliche. Some of the nodules have a well developed concentric structure as well as other characteristics similar to hypersaline pisolites. Features which appear to be useful in distinguishing caliche from hypersaline pisolites are: regional geological setting, association with other caliche and palaeosoil deposits, types of fossils present, and the presence of rhombic calcite and/or bladed sparry calcite with triangular shaped cross-section. A brick-like calcite texture and relict aragonite rays characterize hypersaline pisolites. Incipient neomorphism of the nodules and pisolites has resulted in the development of a radial pattern of spar within these structures. Geopetal deposits of internal sediment, including terra rossa soil, inhibited spar growth in the upward direction; consequently, spar is much better developed on the undersides of pisolites. Crusts and travertine flowstone (speleothem) deposits are intimately associated with the nodular masses and internal sediment. The brecciated thin crusts and travertine flowstone are end products of the same processes. The crusts formed during times of periodic desiccation of the growing surface while the flowstone formed when water was relatively abundant. Spherulitic bodies within the caliche, commonly 1–2 mm in diameter, display a radial texture and yet are composed of single crystals of calcite. The structures are the product of neomorphosed Microcodium or Microcodium-like globular bodies.  相似文献

A method of combining hydrochemical data logging and in situ titrating with measurement of stable carbon and oxygen isotopes was used to reveal the hydrochemical and isotopic characteristics in the Baishuitai travertine scenic area of SW China. It was found that the travertine-forming springs have a very high concentration of calcium and bicarbonate, and accordingly very high CO2 partial pressures, which are not likely to be produced by biological activity in soil alone. Further analysis of the stable carbon isotopes of the springs shows that the high pressure of CO2 is mainly related to an endogenic CO2 source. That means the Baishuitai travertine is endogenic in origin. This is contrast to the commonly accepted saying that the travertine deposition in this study simply is a product of warm and humid conditions in a karst ecological environment. Rapid CO2 degassing from the water is triggered by the much higher partial pressures in water than that of the surrounding air. Consequently, as the waters flow downstream of the spring the pH increases, the waters become supersaturated with respect to calcite, and travertine is deposited. The preferential release of 12CO2 to the atmosphere results in a progressive increase of travertine 13C downstream. This is concluded with a preliminary discussion of variation in travertine-forming water temperatures, according to differences in stable oxygen isotopic compositions of the travertine formed in different epochs at Baishuitai. It was found that the change in water temperature is as high as 13 °C, i.e., from 23 °C at about 2500 years b.p., to 10 °C at present. This may mainly reflect that the effect of geothermal source on water temperature is decreasing. The problems involved in paleoenvironmental reconstruction with endogene travertine are also discussed. They are the impacts of "dead carbon" in radiocarbon dating and the enrichment in 13C of travertine by endogenic CO2 and degassing of CO2 from water, which has to be considered in paleovegetation reconstruction when using 13C data of the endogene carbonate deposits.  相似文献

黄龙嗜冷细菌两种胞外单糖对碳酸钙矿化影响   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  
为了探究黄龙水体中嗜冷细菌的胞外代谢产物对钙华沉积速率及沉积产物的影响,本文从黄龙钙华水体中分离到优势土著嗜冷细菌,并以其标志性胞外代谢产物D-葡萄糖和D-核糖作为研究对象,研究了两种单糖组分在低温环境下对钙华沉积的影响,并通过X射线衍射(XRD)、扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、红外吸收光谱(FT-IR)等分析手段对碳酸钙晶型、形貌以及结构组成进行了表征。实验表明:D-葡萄糖在低温条件下能促进方解石型碳酸钙的沉积,并加快沉积速率。低浓度下(20 mg/L和40 mg/L)的沉积产物均为方解石型碳酸钙并对其形貌有一定的影响;高浓度下(80 mg/L和160 mg/L)能诱导少量的文石型碳酸钙的合成。D-核糖在低温条件下能促进碳酸钙的沉积,加快沉积速率。与D-葡萄糖不同,D-核糖仅能合成方解石型碳酸钙,但对方解石晶面的生长表现为抑制作用,且随浓度增大抑制作用益明显。此结果可为黄龙钙华生物成因的探究提供一定的理论研究基础。  相似文献

云南白水台钙华水池中水化学日变化及其生物控制的发现   总被引：11，自引：0，他引：11  
为弄清云南白水台泉及其下游钙华水池中水化学的日变化,选取1号泉及其流经的两个钙华水池(6号和10号)作为研究对象并对其水温、pH值和电导率进行了自动监测。根据Ca2 、HCO3-与电导率存在的线性关系,用WATSPAC软件计算了水中方解石的饱和指数和PCO2。监测发现:泉水不存在显著的水化学日动态变化,而两个钙华水池表现出显著的日动态变化。其中10号钙华水池在白天温度较高时水中的CO2大量逸出并通过水下水生植物的光合作用加速了水中碳酸钙的沉积。6号钙华水池水生植物生长茂盛,其叶片和部分枝干露出水面,因而光合作用主要发生在空中,所以此处水化学表现为白天pH值降低和电导率升高的反常现象,即由温度主导的根呼吸作用,在白天释放更多的CO2进入水体而使沉积下来的碳酸钙重新溶解。  相似文献
