2015年中国大洋33航次在西北印度洋卡尔斯伯格脊6°48′N附近进行了热液异常探测,成功发现了大糦热液区。本文对该热液区附近采集的CTD水样开展了水化学与颗粒物分析。结果表明,在3 150~3 400 m水深范围内水体存在Cl、Br、Mg负异常以及DFe和DMn正异常。其中Cl、Br、Mg的浓度较研究区海水背景值分别亏损2.87%~5.27%、3.21%~4.53%和2.52%~3.82%,Cl和Br的亏损指示海底释放的热液流体曾经发生了相分离。根据Mg的亏损情况,可以估算热液羽状流中热液流体的贡献约3.90%。DFe和DMn的浓度峰值分别为127 nmol/L和29.0 nmol/L,均出现在水深3 150 m层位。颗粒物的电镜观察和能谱分析结果显示,在2 900~3 400 m深度范围内存在热液成因的富铁氧化物(FeO占49.1%~95.2%),与海水样品中发现的高浓度DFe和DMn相印证。根据实测底层流流速与Fe(Ⅱ)扩散半径对研究区的Fe(Ⅱ)氧化半衰期进行了估算,得到大糦热液区Fe(Ⅱ)氧化半衰期为0.56~2.22 h。  相似文献

热液流体在物理化学特征方面与周围海水存在较大差异,探测温度异常和浊度异常是寻找热液羽状流信号的重要手段。本文采用“大洋一号”科考船第20航次的拖曳CTD数据和浊度数据,以及21航次的定点CTD数据,研究了西南印度洋龙方斤热液区的温度异常和浊度异常现象。研究表明热液区中性浮力层在水深2 550~2 650 m间,厚度约为100 m,温度异常达0.01 ℃;水深 2 750~2 800 m间亦有温度异常,最大可达0.08 ℃;温度异常水深处存在相应的浊度异常。深层背景海水位温和位密间存在简单线性关系。此外,经初步估计,热液活动区初始浮力通量为8.78×10-4 m4/s3;通过中性浮力层估算热液热通量,约为130±43 MW。  相似文献

深海热液流体与周围海水之间存在明显的物理和化学差异,通过检测海水的位温浊度异常是探测深海热液活动的重要手段之一。本文采用"海底火山带项目(Submarine Ring of Fire 2002)"拖曳式温盐深测量仪数据资料,研究了东北太平洋Explorer Ridge热液场的水文特征及物质能量通量的释放。结果表明Explorer Ridge热液场热液羽状流中性浮力层所在深度范围约为1 600~1 900 m,距离海底的高度约为200 m,最大位温、盐度和浊度异常分别为0.04℃、0.004和0.18 NTU;中性浮力层热液羽状流帽呈椭圆结构,其长轴与洋中脊线重合,羽状流帽总面积约为27 km2;热液羽状流在中性层范围内存在明显的分层现象,通过经验公式计算得到Explorer Ridge热液场观测范围内热液喷口的总的浮力通量为6.19×10-2 m4/s3,平均值为2.063×10-2 m4/s3;总的体积通量为9.884×10-2 m3/s,平均值为3.295×10-2 m3/s;总的热通量为194.9 MW,平均值为64.967 MW。  相似文献

测定了冲绳海槽中部Jade热液活动区中18个热液沉积物样品的硫同位素组式,其中10个硫化物样品的δ34S值为5.2×10-3~7.2×10-3,7个硫酸盐样品的34S值为16.3×10-3~22.3×10-3,1个自然硫样品的δ34S值为8.2×10-3热液沉积物的硫主要来自中、酸性火山岩和海水,并且在流体与沉积物相互作用过程中海底沉积物也可能为热液沉积物的形成提供部分的硫.导致本区热液沉积物中硫化物与其他热液活动区的硫同位素组成不同的原因,主要是各热液活动区的硫源以及有关岩浆活动和构造演变的不同.海底热液体系中硫的演化是一个复杂的过程,涉及被加热海水的上升、流体与火山岩的相互作用、海水硫酸盐和中、酸性火山岩中流的混合作用以及流体与沉积物相互作周等一系列海底热液活动,其中海水和中、酸性火山岩的相互作用是本区硫演化的一个重要机制.  相似文献

在海底多金属硫化物调查过程中,对于已知热液区需要精细地质填图工作,而这种填图往往存在覆盖面积较小、所包含的地质要素较少以及与区域构造作用和岩浆活动联系不足等问题。基于历年大洋航次在西南印度洋中脊#26洋脊段(51°E区域)所获得的深海光学拖曳系统的资料,结合高精度多波束水深数据,提出一种系统的底质热液异常划分原则,识别出热液蚀变岩石或角砾、疑似热液沉积物、热液生物及其遗骸富集和胶结碳酸盐4种底质热液异常类型。高分辨率海底地质填图结果表明,本区存在4处热液活动的异常区。#26洋脊段热液活动频率值为2~10,至少是全球海底热液活动频率经验公式的1.8倍以上。我们认为在超慢速扩张脊局部熔融异常或者发育非转换不连续带的洋脊段,可能存在更多的海底热液活动,也具有形成大型多金属硫化物矿床的潜力。  相似文献

海底硫化物矿体的三维展布是当前大洋调查急需解决的关键问题,在陆地上电磁方法一直是解决矿产资源三维问题的重要手段之一。2011年我国自主研发了调查海底多金属硫化物的瞬变电磁设备,并于2011年6月在中国大洋第22航次第5航段中的大西洋中脊“贝利珠”热液区( 13.2°S、14.4°W)进行了试验,取得了我国首批海底热液区的瞬变电磁资料。本文对这批资料进行初步分析,阐述一种新的海底硫化物探测方法及其试用结果,得到的视电阻率断面与热液区的实际有很好的对应关系,从2条测线的实测结果来看,设备的探测深度达到海底面以下50~100 m。在本次试用过程中,较好验证了自主研发的深海瞬变电磁设备、获得的数据以及探测深度的可靠性。  相似文献

对1988年取自大西洋中脊TAG热液活动区的海底表层热液沉积物中36件硫化物样品进行了硫同位素组成分析.结合ODP Leg158的近期成果,对TAG区热液沉积物的硫同位素组成及其时空演变、硫源、硫同位素偏重的原因和硫的演化进行了探讨,得出如下结论:(1)TAG区表层热液沉积物的δ34S值从3.9‰-7.6‰变化,均值为5.98‰,与其它洋中脊热液活动区相比明显偏重.(2)从海底表层区到蚀变玄武岩区,热液沉积物的硫同位素组成有增大的趋势,而时间对热液沉积物的硫同位素组成则没有明显的控制.(3)热液沉积物中硫主要来自玄武岩,部分来自海水硫酸盐,是海水硫酸盐和玄武岩中硫不同程度混合的结果,且各硫源在不同阶段提供硫的比例分配和方式明显不同.(4)与其它无沉积物覆盖洋中脊中热液活动区相比,相对较大比例海水来源硫的加入是导致TAG区硫同位素组成偏重的一个重要原因,而TAG区具备有利海水硫酸盐还原作用进行的温度和水/岩比值条件则是促使该区热液沉积物中海水来源硫相对较多的主要原因.(5)海水的直接混入、流体-玄武岩相互作用、先期形成硫化物的重溶作用和硫酸盐矿物的还原作用是海水和玄武岩直接或间接提供硫的主要方式,也是导致本区硫同位素演化复杂化的主要原因,且硫的演化与海底岩浆作用和构造运动紧密相关.  相似文献

The ultraslow-spreading Southwest Indian Ridge(SWIR) to the east of the Melville fracture zone is characterized by very low melt supply and intensive tectonic activity. Due to its weak thermal budget and extremely slow spreading rate, the easternmost SWIR was considered to be devoid of hydrothermal activity until the discovery of the inactive Mt. Jourdanne hydrothermal field(27°51′S, 63°56′E) in 1998. During the COMRA DY115-20 cruise in2009, two additional hydrothermal fields(i.e., the Tiancheng(27°51′S, 63°55′E) and Tianzuo(27°57′S, 63°32′E)fields) were discovered. Further detailed investigations of these two hydrothermal sites were conducted by Chinese manned submersible Jiaolong in 2014–2015. The Tiancheng filed can be characterized as a lowtemperature(up to 13.2°C) diffuse flow hydrothermal field, and is hosted by fractured basalts with hydrothermal fauna widespread on the seafloor. The Tianzuo hydrothermal field is an inactive sulfide field, which is hosted by ultramafic rocks and controlled by detachment fault. The discovery of the three hydrothermal fields around Segment #11 which receives more melt than the regional average, provided evidence for local enhanced magmatism providing heat source to drive hydrothermal circulation. We further imply that hydrothermal activity and sulfide deposits may be rather promising along the easternmost SWIR.  相似文献

This study reports the occurrence of anhydrite in hydrothermally altered pillow basalt (12°50.55′N, 103°57.62′W, water depth 2 480 m), which may have been produced in the basalt during seawater-basalt interaction in the laboratory. The existence of anhydrite in the altered basalt indicates extensive hightemperature hydrothermal alteration at the surface of seafloor pillow basalt. Microprobe analysis shows significant chemical zoning in the hydrothermally altered pillow basalt, in which Ca, Si and Al contents decrease and P, Fe, Mn, Cr and S contents increase from fresh basalt to altered basalt. The negative correlation between Rb-Sr and Li-Sr, and negative correlation between Li-Ca and Rb-Ca in the high-temperature vent fluids show that these fluids underwent anhydrite precipitation before fluid jetting due to mixing with seawater in the sub-seafloor. Based on these observations, we show that not all Ca in the anhydrite comes from basalt in the reaction zone, and that the basalts on the seafloor or in the upflow zone may also provide Ca for anhydrite.  相似文献

A 43 cm long E271 sediment core collected near the East Pacific Rise(EPR) at 13°N were studied to investigate the origin of smectite for understanding better the geochemical behavior of hydrothermal material after deposition.E271 sediments are typical metalliferous sediments. After removal of organic matter, carbonate, biogenic opal,and Fe-Mn oxide by a series of chemical procedures, clay minerals(2 μm) were investigated by X-ray diffraction,chemical analysis and Si isotope analysis. Due to the influence of seafloor hydrothermal activity and close to continent, the sources of clay minerals are complex. Illite, chlorite and kaolinite are suggested to be transported from either North or Central America by rivers or winds, but smectite is authigenic. It is enriched in iron, and its contents are highest in clay minerals. Data show that smectite is most likely formed by the reaction of hydrothermal Fe-oxyhydroxide with silica and seawater in metalliferous sediments. The Si that participates in this reaction may be derived from siliceous microfossils(diatoms or radiolarians), hydrothermal fluids, or detrital mineral phases. And their δ30 Si values are higher than those of authigenic smectites, which implies that a Si isotope fractionation occurs during the formation because of the selective absorption of light Si isotopes onto Feoxyhydroxides. Sm/Fe mass ratios(a proxy for overall REE/Fe ratio) in E271 clay minerals are lower than those in metalliferous sediments, as well as distal hydrothermal plume particles and terrigenous clay minerals. This result suggests that some REE are lost during the smectite formation, perhaps because their large ionic radii of REE scavenged by Fe-oxyhydroxides preclude substitution in either tetrahedral or octahedral lattice sites of this mineral structure, which decreases the value of metalliferous sediments as a potential resource for REE.  相似文献

The composition and distribution of helium and oxygen isotopes in samples of seawater obtained at depths from surface to 300 m in the western Pacific(7°-26°N,122°-130°E) were discussed in detail.The results show that both δ18O and δ3He isoline extend eastward in the Pacific side of the Bashi Channel, which may suggest that the South China Sea water intrudes into the western Pacific by the Bashi Channel.  相似文献

According to the exploration contract about polymetallic sulfides in the SWIR (Southwest Indian Ridge) signed by China with the International Seabed Authority, to delineate sulfide minerals and estimate resource quantity are urgent tasks. We independently developed our first coincident loop Transient Electromagnetic Method (TEM) device in 2010, and gained the TEM data for seafloor sulfide at South Atlantic Ridge 13.2°S in June 2011. In contrast with the widely applied CSEM (Marine controlled-source electromagnetic) method, whose goal is to explore hydrocarbons (oil/gas) of higher resistivity than seawater from 102 to 103 m below the sea floor, the TEM is for low resistivity minerals, and the target depth is from 0 to 100 m below the sea floor. Based on the development of complex sulfide geoelectrial models, this paper analyzed the TEM data obtained, proposing a new method for seafloor sulfide detection. We present the preliminary trial results, in the form of apparent resistivity sections for both half-space and full-space conditions. The results cor- respond well with the observations of the actual hydrothermal vent area, and the detection depth reached 50-100m below the bed, which verified the capability of the equipment.  相似文献

Helium, neon and argon isotope compositions of fluid inclusions have been measured in massive sulfide samples from the Jade hydrothermal field in the central Okinawa Trough. Fluid-inclusion 3He/4He ratios are between 6.2 and 10. l times the air value (Ra), and with a mean of 7.8Ra, which are consistent with the mid-ocean ridge basalt values [3He/^4He≈(6Ra- 11Ra)]. Values for ^20Ne/^22Ne are from 10.7 to 11.3, which are significantly higher than the atmospheric ratio (9.8). And the fluid-inclusion ^40Ar/^36Ar ratios range from 287 to 334, which are close to the atmosperic values (295.5). These results indicate that the noble gases of trapped hydrothermal fluids in massive sulfides are a mixture of mantle- and seawater-derived components, and the helium of fluid inclusions is mainly from mantle, the nelium and argon isotope compositions are mainly from seawater.  相似文献

对冲绳海槽Jade热液区块状硫化物中流体包裹体的氦、氖和氩同位素组成进行了测定,流体包裹体的3He/4He比值为(6.2~10.1)Ra,均值为7.8Ra,与大洋中脊玄武岩一致[3He/4He≈(6~11)Ra],20Ne/22Ne比值为10.7~11.3,明显高于大气值(9.8),而40Ar/36Ar比值的变化范围在287~334之间,接近大气值(295.5),这些结果表明,块状硫化物中热液流体捕获的稀有气体是地幔和海水源组分混合的产物,且流体包裹体中的氦主要来自地幔,氖和氩主要来自海水。  相似文献
