Fresh tholeiitic basalt glass has been reacted with seawater at 150°C, (water/rock mass ratio of 10), and fresh diabase has been reacted with a Na-K-Ca-Cl fluid at 375°C (water/rock mass ratios of 1, 2, and 5) to understand better the role of temperature, basalt composition, and water/rock mass ratio on the direction and magnitude of B and Li exchange during basalt alteration. At 150°C, slight but nevertheless significant amounts of B and Li were removed from seawater and incorporated into a dominantly smectite alteration phase. At 375°C, however, B and Li were leached from basalt. B behaved as a “soluble” element and attained concentrations in solution limited only by the B concentration in basalt and the water/rock mass ratio. Li, however, was less mobile. For example, at water/rock mass ratios of 1, 2, and 5, the percent of Li leached from basalt was 58, 70, and 92% respectively. This suggests some mineralogic control on Li mobility during hydrothermal alteration of basalt, especially at low-water/rock mass ratios. In general, these results, as well as those for B, are consistent with the temperature-dependent chemistry of altered seafloor basalt and the chemistry of ridge crest hydrothermal fluids.Based on the distribution and chemistry of products of seafloor weathering, low (≤ 150°C) and high-temperature hydrothermal alteration of basalt, and the chemistry of ridge crest hydrothermal fluids, it was estimated that alteration of the oceanic crust is a Li source for seawater. This is not true for B, however, since the hot spring flux estimated for B is balanced by low-temperature basalt alteration. These data, coupled with B and Li flux estimates for other processes (e.g., continental weathering, clay mineral adsorption, authigenic silicate formation and formation of siliceous skeletal material) yield new insight into the B and Li geochemical cycles. Calculations performed here indicate relatively good agreement between the magnitude of B and Li sources and sinks. The geochemical cycle of B, however, may be affected by serpentinization of mantle derived peridotite in oceanic fracture zones. Serpentinites are conspicuously enriched in B and if the B source for these rocks is seawater, then an additional B sink exists which must be integrated into the B geochemical cycle. However, until more data are available in terms of areal extent of serpentinization, serpentite chemistry and isotopic composition, the importance of B in these rocks with respect to the B geochemical cycle remains speculative at best.  相似文献

Sulfate reduction during seawater reaction with fayalite and with magnetite was rapid at 350°C, producing equilibrium assemblages of talc-pyrite-hematite-magnetite at low water/rock ratios and talc-pyrite-hematite-anhydrite at higher water/rock ratios. At 250°C, seawater reacting with fayalite produced detectable amounts of dissolved H2S, but extent of reaction of solid phases was minor after 150 days. At 200°C, dissolved H2S was not detected, even after 219 days, but mass balance calculations suggest a small amount of pyrite may have formed. Reaction stoichiometry indicates that sulfate reduction requires large amounts of H+, which, in subseafloor hydrothermal systems is provided by Mg metasomatism. Seawater contains sufficient Mg to supply all the H+ necessary for quantitative reduction of seawater sulfate.Systematics of sulfur isotopes in the 250 and 350°C experiments indicate that isotopic equilibrium is reached, and can be modeled as a Rayleigh distillation process. Isotopic composition of hydrothermally produced H2S in natural systems is strongly dependent upon the seawater/basalt ratio in the geothermal system, which controls the relative sulfide contributions from the two important sulfur sources, seawater sulfate and sulfide phases in basalt. Anhydrite precipitation during geothermal heating severely limits sulfate ingress into high temperature interaction zones. Quantitative sulfate reduction can thus be accomplished without producing strongly oxidized rocks and resultant sulfide sulfur isotope values represent a mixture of seawater and basaltic sulfur.  相似文献

Sulfur analyses by X-ray fluorescence give an average content of 107 ppm for 9 samples of fresh subaerially-erupted oceanic basalt and 680 ppm for 38 samples of submarine erupted basalt. This difference is the result of retention of sulfur in basalt quenched on the sea floor and loss of sulfur in basalt by degassing at the surface. The outer glassy part of submarine erupted basalt contains 800±150 ppm sulfur, and this amount is regarded as an estimate of the juvenile sulfur content of the basalt melt from the mantle. The slower cooled interiors of basalt pillows are depleted relative to the rims owing to degassing and escape through surface fractures. Available samples of deep-sea basalts do not indicate a difference in original sulfur content between low-K tholeiite, Hawaiian tholeiite, and alkali basalt.The H2O/S ratio of analyzed volcanic gases is generally lower than the H2O/S ratio of gases presumed lost from surface lavas as determined by chemical differences between pillow rims and surface lavas. This enrichment of volcanic gases in sulfur relative to water may result from a greater degassing of sulfur relative to water from shallow intrusive bodies beneath the volcano.Publication authorized by the Director, U.S. Geological Survey.  相似文献

The lithic units of polymict breccia 14321 (Big Bertha) have been grouped according to composition, texture, degree of metamorphism, and additional criteria based on a systematic study of the interrelationships of all clast-matrix pairs. From this information it has been possible to reconstruct the assembly and metamorphic history of this breccia. The earliest formed fragmental component of 14321 (microbreccia-1) is dominated by KREEP-rich norite, extruded and subsequently brecciated and lithified in an ejecta blanket at approximately 1000°C in the general region of Mare Imbrium after the Serenitatis impact but prior to the Imbrium impact. This early microbreccia component and lesser amounts of mare-type basalt, microgranite, rhyolite glass, anorthosite and olivine microbreccia were assembled at the Apollo 14 site as part of the Fra Mauro ejecta blanket from the Imbrium impact. The resulting microbreccia-3 incorporates all the lithic types above and accretionary lapilli structures (microbreccia-2) in a dark matrix annealed at approximately 700°C. A later impact on the Fra Mauro excavated and mutually abraded microbreccia-3 and a local, 14321-type, basalt which were assembled into polymict breccia 14321. Final placement of 14321 at its sampling location was accomplished during the minor Cone Crater impact event.  相似文献

Volcanic rocks in seamounts of the South China Sea consist mainly of alkali basalt, tholeiitic basalt, trachyandesitic pumice, dacite, etc. Inclusions in the minerals of the volcanic rocks are mainly amorphous melt inclusions, which reflects that the volcanic rocks are characterized by submarine eruption and rapid cooling on the seafloor. Furthermore, fluid-melt inclusions have been discovered for the first time in alkali basalts and mantle-derived xenoliths. indicating a process of differentiation between magma and fluid in the course of mantle partial melting. Alkali basalts and inclusions may have been formed in this nonhomogeneous system. Rock-forming temperatures of four seamounts were estimated as follows: the Zhongnan seamount alkali basalt 1155 ∼ 1185 °C; the Xianbei seamount alkali basalt 960 ∼ 1200 °C; tholeiitic basalt 1040 ∼ 1230 °C; the Daimao seamount tholeiitic basalt 1245 ∼ 1280 °C; and the Jianfeng seamount trachyandestic pumice 880 ∼ 1140 °C. Equilibrium pressures of alkali basalts in the Zhongnan and Xianbei seamounts are 13.57 and 8.8 × 108 Pa, respectively. Pyroxene equilibrium temperatures of mantle xenoliths from the Xianbei seamount were estimated at 1073 ∼ 1121 °C, and pressures at (15.58 ∼ 22.47)×108Pa, suggesting a deep-source (e.g. the asthenosphere) for the alkali basalts.

We have compiled what we believe is the longest coherent coastal sea surface temperature record in North America. Near-surface water temperature measurements have been made almost daily at Great Harbon, Woods Hole, Massachusetts, since 1886 with remarkably few gaps. The record shows that there was no significant trend in water temperature at this site for the first 60 yr of observation. There was some cooling during the 1960s that was followed by a significant warming from 1970–2002 at a rate of 0.04°C yr?1. During the 1990s annual mean temperatures averaged approximately 1.2°C warmer than they had been on average between 1890 and 1970; winter (December, January, and February) temperatures were 1.7°C warmer and summer (June, July, and August) temperatures were 1.0°C warmer. There has not been a statistically significant decrease in the annual number of winter days below 1°C or an increase in the annual number of winter days above 5°C. The number of summer days each year with water temperature above 21°C has not increased significantly. The dates of first observations of 10°C and 20°C water in the spring have not changed sufficiently to be statistically significant. There is a weak positive correlation between annual and winter water temperature and the annual and winter North Atlantic Oscillation index, respectively, during the period of record.  相似文献

We have re-examined data by Lipschutz and coworkers on thermal release of T1, Bi, In from primitive chondrites, in order to obtain information on the nature and activation energy (E) of the release processes: desorption, volume diffusion, and decomposition of the host phase. Plausible though not definitive choices may be made in some cases. For the Allende C3 chondrite, the main release for Bi and T1 (80 and 86%) between 400 and 700°C appears to be due to desorption of a surface layer, coupled with grain boundary diffusion as the slow step. The main release of In (80%) above 600°C and the small (10–20%) tails of Bi and T1 between 700 and 1000°C probably represent volume diffusion, with activation energies near 30 kcal/mol. The much smaller E's (2–5 kcal/mol) found for this interval by the Purdue group are artifacts, resulting from their failure to correct the initial concentration for the material lost in the preceding peak. Finally, the residual Bi and T1 remaining at 1000°C seem to represent solid solutions in temperature-resistant phases, such as ‘Q’, the principal carrier of planetary noble gases in the meteorite.This distribution—a small amount in solid solution and a large amount in a surface film—qualitatively agrees with that predicted by Larimer (1973, Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta37, 1603–1623) for condensation from the solar nebula, though some of the substrates may have been sulfides rather than metal.Results for Abee and other primitive meteorites are essentially similar, except for a very abrupt 500°C release of T1 from Krymka (81%) and Bi from Tieschitz (70%). This release may represent decomposition of a thermolabile phase in a late condensate, such as organic matter or phyllosilicates. The presence of such a condensate (‘mysterite’) was inferred previously from the apparent overabundance of T1 and Bi in these meteorites.  相似文献

Speleothem fluid inclusions are a potential paleo-precipitation proxy to reconstruct past rainwater isotopic composition (δ18O, δD). To get a better insight in the extraction of inclusion water from heated speleothem calcite, we monitored the water released from crushed and uncrushed speleothem calcite, heated to 900 °C at a rate of 300 °C/h, with a quadrupole mass spectrometer. Crushed calcite released water in three not well individualised peaks between 25 and 360 °C, 360 and 650 °C and between 650 and 800 °C while uncrushed calcite released water in two distinct temperature intervals: between 25 and 550 °C and between 550 and 900 °C.Water from two speleothems from the Han-sur-Lesse cave was recovered using three different techniques: i) the crushing and heating to 360 °C technique, ii) the decrepitation by heating to 550 °C and iii) the decomposition by heating to 900 °C technique. Measurements of the δD of water recovered by the decomposition of Han-sur-Lesse calcite heated to 900 °C did not show a 20 to 30‰ offset as found by previous authors. However a difference of 7‰ was observed between water released before and after decomposition of the calcite. Water recovery from the Han-sur-Lesse samples suggests that a simple heating technique (up to 550 °C) without crushing could both (a) recover water with δD representative of that of the drip water and (b) double the water yield as compared to the crushing and heating method.Our study warns for possible contamination of the recovered inclusion water with hydration water of lime, responsible for the recovery of water with very negative δD values.  相似文献

This study reports the kinetic experimental results of albite in water and in KCI solution at 22 MPa in the temperature range of 25 to 400℃. Kinetic experiments have been carried out in an open flow-through reaction system (packed bed reactor). Albite dissolution is always incongruent in water at most temperatures, but becomes congruent at 300℃ (close to the critical point 374℃). At temperatures from 25 to 300℃, the incongruent dissolution of albite is reflected by the fact that sodium and aluminum are easily dissolved into water; from 300 to 400℃ it is reflected by silicon being more easily dissolved in water than Al and Na. Maximum albite dissolution rates in the flow hydrothermal systems have been repeatedly observed at 300℃, independent of flow rates.The kinetic experiments of albite dissolution in a KCl aqueous solution (0.1 mol KCl) indicate that the dissolution rate of albite increases with increasing temperature. Maximum silicon release rates of albite have been observed at 400℃, while ma  相似文献

The distribution of interatomic distances in amorphous NaAlSi3O8 has been determined at 805°C by X-ray radial distribution analysis to investigate structural differences between the glass (T < 763°C) and the supercooled liquid (763°C < T < 1118°C). Except for slight differences attributable to thermal expansion, no significant changes were observed. The sample crystallized during the course of the experiment, but at least one crystal-free data set was obtained. The transition from the inferred six-membered ring structure of the supercooled liquid to the four-membered ring structure of the crystal was clearly visible in radial distribution function (RDF's) determined before and after crystallization.RDF's were also determined at 25°C for two NaAlSi3O8 glasses with different histories. The first was derived from a melt that had been cooled slowly from 1600 to 32°C above the melting point (Tf = 1118°C) to detect possible repolymerization to a more ‘crystal-like’ structure as the melt approached Tf. The second glass was prepared by holding a single crystal of Amelia albite at 50°C above Tf to see if the crystalline four-membered ring structure was preserved in melts at temperatures just above the liquidus. No significant differences were observed between these two RDF's and one obtained from a glass quenched from 1800°C. These results suggest that in addition to the destruction of formation of a periodic structure, melting and crystallization in NaAlSi3O8 also involves a repolymerization of tetrahedra. This would explain the observed kinetic barrier to melting and crystallization in the anhydrous system and the catalytic effect of small amounts of water or alkali oxide.  相似文献

Fresh mid-ocean ridge basalt of varying crystallinity has been powdered and reacted with seawater and an artificial Na-K-Ca-Cl solution at 200–500°C and 500–1000 bar in sealed gold capsules. Water/rock mass ratios of 1–3 were used and durations ranged from 2 to 20 months.These time periods were sufficient for most elements to approach a steady-state concentration in solution which was determined by equilibrium with alteration minerals (Mg, SiO2, SO4), by rate of formation of these minerals (Na, Ca), or by depletion from the rock (K, B, Ba). The resulting solutions closely resemble the brines from the basalt-seawater geothermal system at Reykjanes, Iceland. Mg was almost completely removed from seawater into the alteration products smectite, tremolite-actinolite, or talc. Sulfate also was removed to low concentrations, both by precipitation of anyhydrite and by reduction to sulfide. Net transfer of Na from seawater into solids occurred in most experiments by formation of sodic feldspar and possibly analcime. Sr was removed from seawater in some experiments but showed no change or a small gain in others. SiO2, Ca, K, Ba, B and CO2 were leached from basalt and enriched in solution. SiO2 concentrations were controlled by saturation with quartz at 300°C and above. The principal Ca-bearing phases which formed were anhydrite, the hydrated Ca-silicate truscottite, tremolite-actinolite, and possibly wairakite. No K-rich phases formed. For some minerals the crystallinity of the starting basalt affected the amount which formed.Removal of Mg from seawater into solid alteration products occurred rapidly and was balanced largely by leaching of Ca from basalt. Net transfer of Na from seawater into solids occurred more slowly and was balanced mainly by leaching of additional Ca from basalt. Thus, reaction between seawater and basalt at low water/rock ratios can be considered to consist of two exchanges: Mg for Ca, and Na for Ca.  相似文献

The rate of palagonitization of three chemically different types of basaltic glasses has been determined experimentally as a function of temperature (20–90 ° C) and time (3.5–14 months) in both fresh and saline water. Between ca. 40 ° C and 70 ° C there is a marked increase in the rate of transformation of the glasses, especially those of alkali basalt composition. The alteration process also accelerates after ca. 10 months at temperature higher than 70 ° C. These phenomena are possibly related to stepwise losses of the major elements, and minimum activation temperatures for the oxide/ion—water metasomatism.  相似文献

Eighteen basalts and some volcanic gases from the submarine and subaerial parts of Kilauea volcano were analyzed for the concentration and isotope ratios of sulfur. By means of a newly developed technique, sulfide and sulfate sulfur in the basalts were separately but simultaneously determined. The submarine basalt has 700 ± 100 ppm total sulfur with δ34SΣs of 0.7 ± 0.1 ‰. The sulfate/sulfide molar ratio ranges from 0.15 to 0.56 and the fractionation factor between sulfate and sulfide is +7.5 ± 1.5‰. On the other hand, the concentration and δ34SΣs values of the total sulfur in the subaerial basalt are reduced to 150 ± 50 ppm and ?0.8 ± 0.2‰, respectively. The sulfate to sulfide ratio and the fractionation factor between them are also smaller, 0.01 to 0.25 and +3.0‰, respectively. Chemical and isotopic evidence strongly suggests that sulfate and sulfide in the submarine basalt are in chemical and isotopic equilibria with each other at magmatic conditions. Their relative abundance and the isotope fractionation factors may be used to estimate the ?o2 and temperature of these basalts at the time of their extrusion onto the sea floor. The observed change in sulfur chemistry and isotopic ratios from the submarine to subaerial basalts can be interpreted as degassing of the SO2 from basalt thereby depleting sulfate and 34S in basalt.The volcanic sulfur gases, predominantly SO2, from the 1971 and 1974 fissures in Kilauea Crater have δ34S values of 0.8 to 0.9%., slightly heavier than the total sulfur in the submarine basalts and definitely heavier than the subaerial basalts, in accord with the above model. However, the δ34S value of sulfur gases (largely SO2) from Sulfur Bank is 8.0%., implying a secondary origin of the sulfur. The δ34S values of native sulfur deposits at various sites of Kilauea and Mauna Loa volcanos, sulfate ions of four deep wells and hydrogen sulfide from a geothermal well along the east rift zone are also reported. The high δ34S values (+5 to +6%.o) found for the hydrogen sulfide might be an indication of hot basaltseawater reaction beneath the east rift zone.  相似文献

The positive europium (Eu) anomaly, enrichment of Eu abundance relative to the neighboring elements, is often observed for water interacted with the rocks. Not only high temperature (~400°C) water-rock interaction such as seafloor hydrothermal fluids, but also relatively lower temperature interaction, less than 100°C, cause positive Eu anomaly. However, relationship between the degree of Eu anomaly and interaction temperature has not been investigated. Water-rock interaction experiments at three different reaction temperatures were performed in this study to reveal the cause of positive Eu anomaly. Comparison of the results under different solution chemistry and temperature conditions showed that the basalt containing plagioclase released larger abundances of REEs than the basaltic glass. The degree of Eu anomaly assessed by Eu/Eu* value was smaller when 0.7 M NaCl solution was used for liquid phase for both solid phases. On the other hand, the Eu/Eu* became larger with increasing reaction temperature for basalts interacted with ultra-pure water. Therefore, it is suggested that the Eu anomaly is potentially used as a fluid-rock interaction thermometer under low salinity condition.  相似文献

Impacts of subsurface heat storage on aquifer hydrogeochemistry   总被引：3，自引：3，他引：0  
The use of shallow aquifers for subsurface heat storage in terms of energy management and building climatisation can lead to a temperature rise in the aquifer to 70 °C and above. The influence of temperature changes on individual mineral and sorption equilibria, reaction kinetics and microbial activity is largely known. However, the impact of heating to temperatures as high as 70 °C on the aquifer overall system has not been quantified yet. Temperature-related changes in sediment ion exchange behaviour, dimension and rates of mineral dissolution and precipitation as well as microbially enhanced redox processes were studied in column experiments using aquifer sediment and tap water at 10, 25, 40, and 70 °C. At 70 °C, a change in sediment sorption behaviour for cations and organic acids was postulated based on temporal changes in pH, magnesium, and potassium concentration in the experimental solution. No clear changes of pH, TIC and major cations were found at 10–40 °C. Redox zoning shifted from oxic conditions towards nitrate and iron(III) reducing conditions at 25 and 40 °C and sulphate reducing conditions at 70 °C. This was attributed to (a) a temperature-related increase in microbial reduction activity, and (b) three times higher release of organic carbon from the sediment at 70 °C compared to the lower temperatures. The findings of this study predict that a temperature increase in the subsurface up to 25 °C and above can impair the usability of ground water as drinking and process water, by reducing metal oxides and thus possibly releasing heavy metals from the sediment. Generally, at 70 °C, where clear cation and organic carbon desorption processes were observed and sulphate reducing conditions could be achieved, a site-specific assessment of temperature effects is required, especially for long-term operations of subsurface heat storage facilities.  相似文献

The behavior of sulfide minerals during the physical and chemical changes accompanying seafloor alteration was studied in three basalt flows from the bottom of D.S.D.P. Hole 418A, Leg 53. The rocks are mildly altered, and contain primary, authigenic, and vein sulfide minerals. Sulfide habit, mineralogy, and trace element content are inter-related and are correlated with the extent and type of silicate and oxide alteration. Incipient alteration at > 90°–100°C was accompanied by low temperature reequilibration of pyrrhotite, and locally, by the oxidation of pyrrhotite to pyrite plus magnetite. The dominant stage of alteration, at ≤90°C, is characterized by dissolution and local redistribution of pyrite and chalcopyrite, whose precipitation appears to be controlled by the water/rock ratio and the extent to which the water has been modified by reaction with the basalt. Chalcopyrite was concentrated relative to pyrite by slight changes in fluid composition caused by reaction with other minerals. Concurrent precipitation of smectite causes a net increase in rock volume, tending to restrict seawater access. Calculations of rock cooling rate through time suggest that the most prolonged hydrothermal circulation occurs at low temperatures, giving rise to pervasive low temperature alteration assemblages.  相似文献

Analysis of the C, N, and Xe release kinetics of intermediate-sized nanodiamond fraction from the Orgueil CI meteorite during isothermal pyrolysis conducted for the first time and subsequent oxidation indicates that (a) the rate of C, N, and Xe release at pyrolysis at a constant temperature decreases with time; (b) the relative amount of released Xe, which mostly has a normal isotopic composition (Xe-P3) at various pyrolysis time up to 800°C, is controlled, first of all, by the heating temperature, whereas the amount of N is controlled by both the temperature and heating time; and (c) prolonged pyrolysis notably modifies the distribution of nitrogen of normal (δ15N = 0) and anomalous (δ15N= ?350‰) isotopic composition in diamond grains. The identified features of the C and N release kinetics are explained by differences in the binding energy of chemically adsorbed O with C atoms and the accommodation of the main amounts of N in extended defects of the crystal structure of nanodiamond. The major factors of the decrease in the Xe-P3 release rate during the isothermal pyrolysis of nanodiamond are either the differences between the Xe desorption parameters of the traps in graphite-like phases containing Xe-P3 or the differences between the radiation-induced defectiveness of grains of the population containing implanted Xe-P3. Our results led us to conclude that (1) meteoritic nanodiamond contains relatively low amounts of a phases carrying the P3 component of noble gases, regardless of the nature of this component, and (2) the population of nanodiamond grains containing most of isotopically anomalous nitrogen was produced at a high rate to preserve this nitrogen, first of all, at extended defects in the diamond crystal structure.  相似文献

Solubilities of noble gases in five natural silicate liquids as a function of temperature and partial pressure at 1 atm total pressure were determined and diffusion coefficients of the noble gases were measured in a tholeiite basalt at 1350°C. Solubilities of noble gases in silicate liquids obey Henry's law and are a strong function of composition and/or physical properties of the liquids. Solubility is greatest in less dense, more silica-rich liquids. Solubility is highest for the light gases and is related to the radius of the gas atom according to Ki = aexp (−br2i). Temperature dependence of solubility is weak, but in general solubility increases with increasing temperature yielding positive enthalpies of solution. Diffusion coefficients in a basalt liquid at 1350°C show more or less the same linear relationship with r2 as solubility and are larger than what would be expected from extrapolation of values determined at lower temperatures. A large percentage of samples of andesite composition had bubbles that contained gas which was fractionated from the gas of the experiment. Concentrations of noble gases in samples equilibrated on Pt wire loops correlate with the surface/volume ratio, suggesting that surfaces of silicate liquids can accommodate more noble gases than the liquid proper. Solubility fractionation is a valid process to account for certain patterns in marine basalts. The density of silicate liquids appears to be a good predictor of noble gas solubility in these liquids.  相似文献

Temperature-resolved analyses of volatiles from Mid-Ocean-Ridge-Basalt (MORB) and vitreous basaltic rims were carried out to investigate the total volatile contents of basaltic melts and the influence of magma contamination on the degassing behaviour of volcanic rocks.With respect to the sources of methane evolution from the MORB the investigations are taken into consideration, the hydrocarbon (HC) release especially from the melt.The current paper presents data for H2O, CO2, SO2, He, H2, HF, HCl, CO, N2, O2, and HC degassing profiles of samples from the MORB sampling cruise 02.10.1983-11.11.1983 with FS Sonne 28 during the GEMINO-1 project near the Carlsberg Ridge (CR) and the Mid-Indian-Ocean-Ridge (MIOR).It aims to estimate the magnitude and nature of source magma volatiles and contamination (crustal material, seawater, atmospheric gases).The degassing of H2O, CO2, HCs as well as sulphur and chlorine species, or O2 from vitreous specimens shows characteristic differences associated with sample position with respect to the lava surface.From the water release by bubbling and diffusion above 700 °C it must be concluded that any assimilation of sea water in vitreous rim is very low. The water content in the vitreous rim is about 0.1-0.2 wt%. The low interaction of melt with sea water is supported by the missing of a significant release of chlorine species during the heat treatment of the sample up to 1450 °C.Mixed H2O/CO2 bubbles escape between 700 and 800 °C from the vitreous rim. The CO2 release in the temperature range of 1060-1170 °C from the basalt and the vitreous rim is interpreted as an indication for the primary carbon-dioxide content in the melt.Above 1100 °C CO2 and SO2 are evolved by both diffusion and small bubbles. The quantities of CO2 in the vitreous rim and the basalt are similar (between 0.05 and 0.15 wt%), whereas the quantities of SO2 escaping both from the vitreous rim and the crystalline basalt are between 0.013 and 0.024 wt%.Simultaneous with the CO2 release by bubbling, HC species, especially CH fragments, were observed. The fact that the temperature of release maxima are above 1050 °C in both the vitreous rim and in the basalt is an indication for a geogenetic origin of HCs, e.g. methane.A low temperature of release for methane, which is consistent with biogenetic HC, was observed from the gas-release profiles of the basalts only. The maxima of the low-temperature gas releases are between 80 and 200 °C with a high correlation between the fragments m/z 13 and m/z 15. This correlation is a significant indication for a methane release.The oxygen release profiles of vitreous and crystalline basalts give significant indications for oxygen fugacity below the (QMF) of basaltic magma.Secondary minerals, generated by alteration of basaltic rocks, can be characterized by gas release profiles (GRPs) due to their decomposition in the temperature range below 800 °C. Only in the basalt were there observed indications of alteration processes. Small traces of carbonates (<0.0001 wt%) were detected by the gas release during the decomposition.Processes of degassing at temperatures higher than 800 °C are correlated to volatiles in the melt and to fluid inclusions of the minerals. There are no obvious correlations in the degassing characteristics between H2O, CO2 and SO2. The different maxima of the degassing velocity, especially of CO2, and SO2, are indications of the different bonding forces of the site occupancy of the volatiles in the melt and in the glass. A micelle model for bonding sites in the basaltic glass for dissolved volatiles is discussed.  相似文献

The influence of the intrusion of basaltic dykes and sills was investigated on sandstones and siltstones of the Atane Formation (Turonian-Coniacian) from the Sarqaq area (Nûgssuaq peninsula, central West Greenland).In the unaltered rock sequence, the siltstones are dominated by kaolinite, quartz and feldspar. No cementation was observed. The sandstones which are prevalent in this formation are arkoses and lithic arkoses with quartz/feldspar ratios of about 1, with variable contents of rock fragments and with minor amounts of matrix. The matrix consists mainly of kaolinite, less frequently of illite-muscovite and smectite or interstratified illite-smectite. Cement minerals include calcite, Fe-calcite, both mainly in concretions, and subordinate Fe-oxide hydrates.The porosity of the sandstones and siltstones indicates a former maximum depth of burial of 1000 m in the Sarqaq region.Adjacent to thin dykes and sills (1–2 m) the above-described rocks are altered as follows. In sandstones albite (fibrous), quartzine, smectite, goethite were all formed at the expense of kaolinitic matrix, and aragonite cement. In siltstones, interstratified illite-smectite, illite, smectite and low-cristobalite replaced kaolinite. These minerals, especially smectite, exclude temperatures above 200°C; they were probably formed during a cooling period.Adjacent to thicker basalt intrusions—only sills, over 5 m thick, and no dykes are known from this area—the following alterations are observed. In sandstones two textural types of albite were formed in addition to: (1) fibrous albite mentioned above; (2) undulose lath-shaped albite; (3) coarse-twinned non-undulose replacement albite. Moreover, brownish luminescing undulose quartz, muscovite, chlorite, epidote, nontronite and anatase occur. In siltstones the mineral association muscovite-chlorite-pyrophyllite-albite occurs, suggesting temperatures in the range of 250–500°C. Additionally a 22–26 Å mixed-layer mineral (chlorite-muscovite?) formed. At the contacts of thick as well as thin basalt intrusions the detrital grains directly adjoining the basalt are partly fractured; potassium feldspar grains show also a chemical disintegration.The temperatures calculated by application of a cooling model are higher than those indicated by the mineral alterations observed. Convective heat transfer by pore water is suggested as an explanation.  相似文献
