法国Beauvoir和Montebras花岗岩中富铌钽锡石的拉曼光谱特征   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
法国Beauvoir花岗岩和Montebras花岗岩中的锡石都含有较丰富的微量元素,如Nb、Ta,并含有铌钽矿包裹体。将锡石晶体制成光薄片,运用拉曼探针,对不同部位进行的研究表明,锡石的A_(1g)峰的振动频率与其所含的Nb、Ta、Fe、Mn含量成反比。值得指出的是,在富含铌钽包裹体的部分,发现了一个新的拉曼光谱峰(定为An峰),其振动频率为827—830cm~(-1),对其进行的研究表明,该峰的出现与锡石晶格中(Nb,Ta)的过量和铌钽矿包裹体的出溶所造成的晶体结构的变化有关。  相似文献

Cassiterite and wolframite compositions from Sn > W- and W > Sn-bearing quartz veins in Northern and Central Portugal are compared to provide evidence on fluid compositions. In Sn > W-bearing quartz veins, euhedral cassiterite shows sequences of alternating parallel darker and lighter zones. The darker zones are pleochroic, oscillatory zoned, exhibit exsolutions of columbite and ixiolite and are richer in Nb, Ta and Fe than the lighter zones which consist of nearly pure SnO2. Cassiterite from W > Sn-bearing quartz veins is usually zoned, with homogeneous and slightly pleochroic darker zones, which are chemically similar to lighter zones. Both zones have inclusions of rutile and rare ilmenite. The darker zones of cassiterite from the former veins are richer in Nb, Ta and Fe contents and poorer in Ti than the darker and lighter zones of cassiterite from the latter veins. This is attributed to differences in the composition of magmatic hydrothermal fluids.Wolframite compositions from Sn > W- and W > Sn-bearing quartz veins do not show any significant distinction, because they precipitate from relatively similar magmatic hydrothermal fluids. In some deposits, most wolframite crystals are homogeneous, but others are heterogeneous. Inner patches, rich in a hübnerite component, rarely occur in crystals from the Filharoso and Panasqueira deposits. Zoned crystals, showing an increase in Fe and a decrease in Mn from core to rim, were found in the Vale das Gatas deposit. Complex oscillatory zoned crystals occur. In the Carris deposit, later wolframite contains inclusions of scheelite, partially replaces it and is richer in Fe and poorer in Mn than earlier wolframite. Wolframite from Sn > W-bearing quartz veins in the Argozelo deposit and W > Sn-bearing quartz veins from Vale das Gatas and Panasqueira deposits has significant Nb content. This does not depend on the Fe and Mn content of the wolframite, but W content is negatively correlated with Nb content. Only very rare single crystals of wolframite show an increase in W and a decrease in Nb from core to rim. Sn > W-bearing quartz veins contain wolframite poorer in Nb than the darker zones of cassiterite, which exsolved columbite and ixiolite. In W > Sn-bearing quartz veins from Panasqueira and Vale das Gatas, the wolframite has a higher Nb content than the cassiterite, which contains rutile inclusions enriched in Nb, because cassiterite and wolframite are derived from two distinct magmatic hydrothermal fluids of different age. The fluid responsible for wolframite precipitation will have a similar composition to that resulting from the evolution of the fluid responsible for cassiterite precipitation in the Sn > W-bearing quartz veins.  相似文献

Highly purified picked minerals of cassiterite and associated new recorded minerals were chemically and mineralogically investigated. Most of the investigated cassiterite exhibits homogeneous grains without obvious zoning. The analyzed cassiterites have more than 98 wt.% SnO2, which reveal clearly their considerable purity. Minor gold with traces of ferrotapiolite, cinnabar, native lead, chromite, and chevkinite are well detectable within the obtained cassiterite concentrate. The origin of the present cassiterite and the associated minerals is also discussed. The variation in color and grain size of cassiterite may be attributed to the various lithology and/or areas drained by the River Nile. The color of cassiterite is appeared to be intensified with increased Nb and Fe contents. Three categories of cassiterites are identified, (a) Ta2O5-rich (0.46–2.65 wt.%); (b) TiO2-rich (0.42–1.41 wt.%), and (c) Ta2O5-Nb2O5-Fe2O3 rich one (Ta2O5:0.42–3.58 wt.%, Nb2O5: 0.7–1.98 wt.% and Fe2O3: 0.56–1.02 wt.%). Sn is usually substituted by Ta, Nb, and Fe. Minor gold with traces of new recorded ferrotapiolite, cinnabar, native lead, chromite, and chevkinite are well detectable within the obtained cassiterite concentrate. Ferrotapiolite is composed mainly of Ta, Fe, and Nb with minor Ti, Sn, and Mn, which similar to that derived from pegmatites and quartz veins. Chevkinite is generally enriched in Ti, Fe, and LREEs and depleted in P, Th, and U which analogous to that crystallized from felsic igneous rock suites.  相似文献

Summary The strongly peraluminous, P- and F-rich granitic system at Podlesí in the Krušné Hory Mountains, Czech Republic, resembles the zonation of rare element pegmatites in its magmatic evolution (biotite → protolithionite → zinnwaldite granites). All granite types contain disseminated Nb-Ta-Ti-W-Sn minerals that crystallized in the following succession: rutile + cassiterite (in biotite granite), rutile + cassiterite → ferrocolumbite (in protolithionite granite) and ferrocolumbite → ixiolite → ferberite (in zinnwaldite granite). Textural features of Nb-Ta-Ti-W minerals indicate a pre-dominantly magmatic origin with only minor post-magmatic replacement phenomena. HFSE remained in the residual melt during the fractionation of the biotite granite. An effective separation of Nb + Ta into the melt and Sn into fluid took place during subsequent fractionation of the protolithionite granite, and the tin-bearing fluid escaped into the exocontact. To the contrast, W contents are similar in both protolithionite and zinnwaldite granites. Although the system was F-rich, only limited Mn-Fe and Ta-Nb fractionation appeared. Enrichment of Mn and Ta was suppressed due to foregoing crystallization of Mn-rich apatite and relatively low Li content, respectively. The content of W in columbite increases during fractionation and enrichment in P and F in the melt. Ixiolite (up to 1 apfu W) instead of columbite crystallized from the most fluxes-enriched portions of the melt (unidirectional solidification textures, late breccia).  相似文献

The Songshugang granite, hidden in the Sinian metasedimentary stratum, is a highly evolved rare-element granite in northeastern Jiangxi province, South China. The samples were systematically taken from the CK-102 drill hole at the depth of 171–423 m. Four types of rocks were divided from the bottom upwards: topaz albite granite as the main body, greisen nodules, topaz K-feldspar granite and pegmatite layer. Electron-microprobe study reveals that the rare-element minerals of the Songshugang granite are very different from those of other rare-element granites. Mn# [Mn/(Fe + Mn)] and Ta# [Ta/(Nb + Ta)] of columbite-group minerals and Hf# [Hf/(Zr + Hf)] of zircon are nearly constant within each type of rocks. However, back-scattered electron imaging revealed that Nb–Ta oxides and zircon of the Songshugang granite, especially those of topaz albite granite, topaz K-feldspar granite and greisen, are commonly characterized by a specific two-stage texture on the crystal scale. The early-stage Nb–Ta oxide is simply subhedral-shaped columbite-(Fe) (CGM-I) with low Mn# (0.16–0.37) and Ta# (0.05–0.29). Columbite-(Fe) is penetrated by the later-stage tantalite veinlets (CGM-II) or surrounded by complex Nb–Ta–Sn–W mineral assemblages, including tantalite-(Fe), wodginite (sl), cassiterite, and ferberite. Tantalite has wide range of Mn# values (0.15–0.88) from Fe-dominance to Mn-dominance. Wodginite with Ta>Nb has large variable concentrations of W, Sn and Ti. Cassiterite and ferberite are all enriched in Nb and Ta (Nb2O5 + Ta2O5 up to 20.12 wt.% and 31.42 wt.%, respectively), with high Ta# (>0.5). Similar to Nb–Ta oxides and Nb–Ta–Sn–W mineral assemblages, the early-stage zircon is commonly included by the later-stage zircon with sharply boundary. They have contrasting Hf contents, and HfO2 of the later-stage zircon is up to 28.13 wt.%. Petrographic features indicate that the early-stage of columbite and zircon were formed in magmatic environment. However, the later-stage of rare-element minerals were influenced by fluxes-enriched fluids. Tantalite, together with wodginite, cassiterite, and ferberite implies a Ta-dominant media. An interstitial fluid-rich melt enriched in Ta and flux at the magmatic–hydrothermal transitional stage is currently a favored model for explaining the later-stage of rare-element mineralization.  相似文献

Summary Titanian ferrocolumbite is a rare accessory mineral in the spodumene-bearing pegmatites at Weinebene, Carinthia, Austria. It contains abundant exsolved niobian rutile and scarce inclusions of cassiterite that may be primary. The titanian ferrocolumbite is relatively homogeneous with Mn/(Mn + Fe) 0.24–0.33, Ta/(Ta + Nb) 0.09–0.13 (atomic ratios) and 0.47–0.88 Ti per 12 cations (2.7–5.0 wt.% TiO2). Natural specimens are considerably disordered but become more ordered on heating. Niobian rutile has Mn/(Mn + Fe) 0.00–0.04 and Ta/(Ta + Nb) 0.26–0.38; it concentrates Fe, Ta, Ti and Sn relative to the Mn- and Nb-enriched ferrocolumbite. The overall scarcity of Nb, Ta-oxide minerals in the spodumene-bearing pegmatites of southern Ostalpen conforms to their general features ranking them with the albite-spodumene type of rare-element pegmatites.With 4 Figures  相似文献

It is well established that the fractionation of Li–F granitic magmas at depth leads to the accumulation of flux elements such as F and Li, and metal cations such as Ta and Nb in residual melts. However, it remains to be determined whether magmatic fractionation is sufficient to concentrate Nb and Ta into economically significant quantities, and what role hydrothermal–metasomatic processes play in the formation of such ore deposits. In the literature, reliable data about the solubility of Ta and Nb in hydrothermal solutions is missing or incomplete. This study provides a quantitative experimental estimation of the possible contribution from hydrothermal processes in Ta enrichment in cupolas of albitized and greisenized Li–F granite. Experimental studies of Ta2O5 and columbite–tantalite (Mn,Fe)(Nb,Ta)2O6 solubility were carried out in fluoride solutions consisting of HF, NaF, KF, and LiF. At low fluoride concentrations (0.01 and 0.1 m), Ta2O5 solubility at 550°C and 100 MPa under Co–CoO oxidizing conditions is low (near 10?5–10?4 m) in all fluoride solutions (HF, NaF, KF, LiF). At high fluoride concentrations (1 and 2 m) the highest Ta2O5 concentrations (10?1 m) were detected in HF solutions. In KF, NaF, and LiF solutions, the Ta2O5 solubility is also high (10?3–10?2 m). The dependence of columbite–tantalite (Nb2O5-59 wt. %, Ta2O5-18 wt. %) solubility as a function of solution composition, T, and P has also been investigated. Tantalum and Nb concentrations have the highest values in HF solutions at reduced conditions (up to 10?3 to 10?2 m Ta in 1 m HF). In 1 m NaF solutions, the concentrations of Nb and Ta are, respectively, 2.5 and 3 orders of magnitude less than those in the 1 m HF solutions. Solubility of Ta and Nb in KF solutions has intermediate values. It is established that in NaF and KF solutions the dependence of solubility on pressure is distinctly negative. The Nb and Ta contents increase with increasing concentrations of HF and KF in solution, however, they do not change with increasing NaF concentration. In NaHCO3, Na2CO3, and HCl solutions columbite–tantalite solubility is low. Even in 1 m chloride solutions the content is within the limits of 10?5 m for Nb and 10?6 to 10?8 m for Ta. We conclude that hydrothermal transport of Ta and Nb is possible only in concentrated fluoride solutions.  相似文献

The Jiepailing mining district in the Nanling range in South China is well-known for its granite-related Sn–Be–F-mineralization. Recently, drill holes have exposed an Nb–Ta–W–Sn mineralized granitic porphyry and topaz-bearing granite–greisen at depth, which we have studied here, using mineral (columbite, rutile, wolframite, cassiterite, zircon, and mica) major- and trace-element compositional data, mineral textures, and zircon and columbite U–Pb geochronology. Our age data shows that the porphyry and the granite and their mineralization formed at ~ 91–89 ± 1 Ma in the late-Cretaceous, and thus subsequent to the main ore-forming events of the region. Continuous mineral compositional trends indicate that the studied granitoids are related by progressive fractionation. We propose that: (1) subhedral–euhedral, low-Ta columbite crystallized from melt; (2) euhedral–subhedral rutile and wolframite and subhedral and subhedral cassiterite up to ~ 30 μm in size formed at the magmatic–hydrothermal transition of the system; and (3) high-Ta columbite and subhedral cassiterite up to ~ 10 μm in size formed from subsolidus hydrothermal fluids. In combination with the Nb, Ta, W, and Sn compositions of zircon and mica, their textures and compositional variation allow us to track the magmatic to hydrothermal rare-metal fractionation (concentration, mobilization, and deposition) of the system in detail, despite our limited access to it through only two exploration drill cores. Using the Nb, Ta, W, and Sn concentrations in zircon (refractory, early-crystallized) and in micas (late equilibrated), respectively, was particularly useful for tracing the partial loss of Sn and W ore components from the intrusion, and to constrain the information which is crucial for any rigorous ore exploration.  相似文献

Textural and geochemical studies of inclusions in topaz from greisens in the Hensbarrow topaz granite stock (St. Austell, Cornwall) are used to constrain the composition of fluids responsible for late stage greisening and mineralisation. The topaz contains an abundant and varied suite of inclusions including aqueous liquid + vapour (L + V), quartz, zinnwaldite, albite, K-feldspar, muscovite, ilmenorutile, apatite, columbite, zircon, varlamoffite [(Sn, Fe)(O, OH)2] and qitianlingite [(Fe+2,Mn+2)2(Nb,Ta)2W+6O10]. Primary L + V inclusions in topaz show relatively high T h (mainly 300 to >500 °C) and a narrow range of salinities (23–30 wt % NaCl equivalent) compared with those in greisen quartz (150–450 °C, 0–50 wt % NaCl equivalent). Textures indicate that topaz formed earlier than quartz and the fluid inclusion data are interpreted as indicating a cooling of the hydrothermal fluids during greisenisation, mixing with meteoric waters and a decrease in pressure causing intermittent boiling. The presence of early-formed albite and K-feldspar as inclusions in the topaz is likely to indicate that the greisen-forming fluid became progressively more acid during greisenisation. The most distinctive inclusions in the topaz are wisp- and bleb-shaped quartz, < 50 μm in size, which show textural characteristics indicating former high degrees of plasticity. They often have multiple shrinkage bubbles at their margins rich in Sn, Fe, Mn, S and Cl and, more rarely, contain euhedral albite, K-feldspar, stannite or pyrrhotite crystals up to 40 μm in size. The quartz inclusions show similar morphologies to inclusions in topaz from quartz-topaz rocks elsewhere which have been interpreted as trapped “silicate melt”. Their compositions are, however, very different to those expected for late stage topaz-normative granitic melts. From their textural and chemical characteristics they are interpreted as representing crystallised silica colloid, probably trapped as a hydro gel during greisenisation. There is also evidence for the colloidal origin of inclusions of varlamoffite in the topaz. These occurrences offer the first reported evidence in natural systems for the formation of colloids in high temperature hydrothermal fluids. Their high ore carrying potential is suggested by the presence of varlamoffite and the occurrence of stannite, pyrrhotite and SnCl within the quartz inclusions.

东天山地区的二叠纪玄武岩沿着区域的北东东向断裂呈脉状分布,吐哈盆地玄武岩的40Ar-39Ar坪年龄为298.2±3.8Ma,为早二叠世,与前人的玄武岩年龄结果在误差范围内一致。可能与东天山地区二叠纪岩浆铜镍矿床镁铁-超镁铁岩有密切的成因联系。吐哈玄武岩的主微量成分显示其为岛弧拉斑、大陆弧玄武岩,轻稀土富集和Nb、Ta负异常,指示源区可能经历过俯冲作用的改造。吐哈盆地二叠纪玄武岩含有新鲜的橄榄石和长石斑晶,橄榄石斑晶中熔融包裹体较发育。熔融包裹体为玻璃质、气相和玻璃质、气相、固相两种类型。包裹体中不透明矿物主要为磁铁矿,说明捕获包裹体时岩浆的氧逸度和Fe含量较高。熔融包裹体分为高MgO和低MgO含量两种。高MgO含量的包体同时具有低SiO_2、低微量和稀土元素含量的特征,可能为地幔高部分熔融的产物,且经历过深部演化程度较弱。该高MgO熔体的微量元素显示Nb、Ta亏损的特征,具有N-MORB特征的微量和稀土元素分配模式,预示该熔体为受到俯冲交代的地幔熔融形成。熔融包裹体相对玄武岩具有低的Th和Ta含量、相对弱的Nb和Ta的负异常的特征,指示熔融包裹体的成分经受改造程度低于玄武岩,暗示可能为经历过较少后期作用改造的相对原始的熔体。熔体中Cu含量(12.4×10~(-6)~299×10~(-6))在正常玄武质岩浆含量范围内,而Ni含量(236×10~(-6)~697×10~(-6))高于高镁溢流科马提岩和洋中脊玄武岩。该Cu、Ni含量略显解耦的熔体可能代表了经历过深部少量的硫化物熔离,带走小部分Cu和Ni等成矿元素之后所捕获的岩浆。如果将该熔体视为东天山地区二叠纪岩浆铜镍硫化物矿床的母岩浆,该母岩浆中Ni含量相对较高可能是岩浆铜镍硫化物矿床中矿石的Ni/Cu比值大多大于1.0的主要因素。  相似文献

Two mineralogically different rare metal granites located in two distinct terranes from the Tuareg area are compared: the Tin-Amzi granite in the north of the Laouni Terrane and the Ebelekan granite in the Assodé–Issalane Terrane.The Tin-Amzi granite is enclosed within Eburnean granulitic gneisses, and consists of albite, quartz, protolithionite, K-feldspar and topaz granite (PG). The accessory minerals include columbite tantalite, U- and Hf-rich zircon, Th-uraninite, wolframoixiolite and wolframite. This facies is characterised by a mineralogical evolution from the bottom to the top underlined by a strong resorption of K-feldspar and albite and the crystalliK-feldspar of more abundant topaz and protolithionite II which is further altered in muscovite and Mn-siderite. It is underlain by an albite, K-feldspar, F-rich topaz, quartz and muscovite granite (MG), with W–Nb–Ta oxides, wolframite, Nb-rutile, zircon and scarce uranothorite as accessories.The Ebelekan granite intrudes into a coarse-grained biotite granite enclosed within upper amphibolite-facies metasediments. It comprises a zinnwaldite, albite, topaz porphyritic granite (ZG) with “snow ball” quartz and K-feldspar. The accessories are zircon, monazite, uranothorite, Ta bearing cassiterite, columbite tantalite and wodginite. It is capped by a banded aplite-pegmatite (AP).The geochemistry of Tin-Amzi and Ebelekan granites is nearly comparable. Both are peraluminous (A/CNK=1.10–1.29; ASI=1.17–1.31), sodolithic and fluorine rich with high SiO2, Al2O3, Na2O+K2O, Rb, Ga, Li, Ta, Nb, Sn and low FeO, MgO, TiO2, Ba, Sr, Y, Zr and REE contents. These rare metal Ta bearing granites belong to the P-poor subclass, relating to their P2O5 content ( 0.03–0.15 wt.%). Nevertheless, they are distinguished by their concentration of W, Sn and Ta. The Tin-Amzi granite is W–Ta bearing with high W/Sn ratio whereas the Ebelekan granite is Ta–Sn bearing with insignificant W content.At Tin-Amzi the W–Nb–Ta minerals define a sequence formed by W-columbite tantalite followed by wolframoixiolite and finally wolframite showing the effect of hydrothermal overprinting with an extreme W enrichment of the fluids. At Ebelekan, the Sn–Nb–Ta oxides follow a Mn sequence: manganocolumbite→manganotantalite→wodginite+titanowodginite→cassiterite that represents a trend of primary crystallisation resulting from progressive substitution Fe→Mn and Nb→Ta during the magmatic fractionation.  相似文献

The paper proposes a simple, accurate, precise, and rapid method for determining the high atomic number (Z) major-element, tantalum (Z = 73), in the rare mineral, columbite [(Fe,Mn) (Nb,Ta)2O6] — tantalite [(Fe,Mn) (Ta,Nb)2O6], by wavelength-dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (WDXRFS). The other major-element in columbite-tantalite is the lower atomic number niobium (Z = 41). The method uses the characteristic radiation, TaKα, and an LiF 420 analysing crystal, to overcome the problems associated with the serious x-ray spectral-line interference of the secondorder NbKα and NbKβ with the first-order TaLα1 and TaLβ1 respectively.  相似文献

The experimental study of an F-bearing silicic melt—U, Nb, Ta minerals—chloride-fluoride fluid system is focused on ascertaining the origin of uranium deposits spatially related to intraplate silicic volcanism. The first series of experiments on uranium solubility in silicic melts close in composition to ore-bearing rhyolite of the unique Strel’tsovka Mo-U ore field has been performed in order to determine more precisely the ore genesis. As starting solid phases, model homogeneous glass of the chemical composition (wt %) 72.18 SiO2, 12.19 Al2O3, 1.02 FeO, 0.20 MgO, 0.33 CaO, 4.78 Na2O, 3.82 K2O, 1.44 Li2O, and 2.4 F (LiF, NaF, KF, CaF2, MgF2); synthetic UO2 and UO3·0.33H2O; and natural columbite were used. The starting solutions contained 1.0 m Cl and 10−2 m F. The runs were conducted in a gas vessel at a pressure of 1000 bar and in a high-pressure hydrothermal vessel at 2000 bar. The O2 (H2) fugacity was set by Ni-NiO, Co-CoO, Fe3O4-Fe2O3, and Cu-Cu2O buffers. The equilibrium between melt and solution for major elements is reached during the first day, whereas 5–7 days are required for ore elements (U, Nb, Ta) to come into equilibrium. The solubility of Nb and especially Ta in Cl-F solutions equilibrated with F-bearing melt is extremely low. The solubility of U is much higher (10−4−10−5 mol/kg H2O). The energy dispersive spectroscopy of run products allowed us to establish that columbite dissolved incongruently with formation of U- and F-bearing pyrochlores. The performed experiments have shown that a silicic melt close to the rhyolitic magma of the Strel’tsovka caldera in composition is not able to generate postmagmatic ore-forming solutions containing more than 10−6−10−5 mol U/kg H2O under the relatively low pressure necessary for the existence of the first type of fluid. The amount of uranium that could have precipitated from this fluid in the zone of ore deposition is estimated at 216–9000 t. This estimate is two orders of magnitude lower than the total uranium resources of the deposits localized in the Strel’tsovka caldera. Thus, the upper crustal silicic magma chamber hardly was a source of uranium for Mo-U deposits of the Strel’tsovka ore field.  相似文献

Partition coefficients (D) for Nb and Ta between rutile and haplogranite melts in the K2O-Al2O3-SiO2 system have been measured as functions of the K2O/Al2O3 ratio, the concentrations of Nb2O5 and Ta2O5, the temperature, in air and at 1 atmosphere pressure. The Ds increase in value as the K* [K2O/(K2O + Al2O3)] molar ratio continuously decreases from highly peralkaline [K* ∼ 0.9] to highly peraluminous [K* ∼ 0.35] melts. The D values increase more dramatically with a unit decrease in K* in peraluminous melts than in peralkaline melts. This compositional dependence of Ds can be explained by the high activity of NbAlO4 species in peraluminous melts and the high activity of KONb species (or low activity of NbAlO4 species) in peralkaline melts. A coupled substitution, Al+3 + Nb+5 (or Ta+5) = 2Ti+4, accounts for the Ds of Nb (Ta) being much greater in peraluminous melts than in peralkaline melts because this substitution allows Nb (Ta) to enter into the rutile structure more easily. The Ds of Ta between rutile and melt are greater than those of Nb at comparable concentrations because the molecular electronic polarizability of Ta is weaker than that of Nb. The Nb+5 with a large polarizing power forms a stronger covalent bond with oxygen than Ta+5 with a small polarizing power. The formation of the strong bond, Nb-O, distorts the rutile structure more severely than the weak bond, Ta-O; therefore, it is easier for Ta to partition into rutile than for Nb. These results imply that the utilization of the Nb/Ta ratio in liquid as a petrogenetic indicator in granitic melts must be done with caution if rutile (or other TiO2-rich phases) is a liquidus phase. The crystallization of rutile will increase the Nb/Ta ratio of the residual liquid because the Ds of Ta between rutile and melts are greater than those of Nb.

Trace elements in cassiterite,including Ta,W,Fe,Mn,Ti,Zr,V,Sc,Si,Al,In,Ga,Ge,Be,Bi,Ag,Sb,As,Cu,Pb,Zn,Co and REE,have been studied by many workers (Shan Zhenhua etal.,1998;Huang Zhou Tianren et al.,1987;Wu Qingsheng et al.,1988;Hu Zening,1988,Li Zhong-qing 1988 Mingzhei et al.,1988;Wang Lihua et al.,1988;Liu Kanghuai,1990).Up to now,however,most of the previous studies are concerned with trace-element variations in cassiterites of different occurrences and colors from different types of ore deposits,Data concerning the modes of occurrence of these trace elements are rare,except for the contention that Nb-Ta,Fe^2 -Mn-Fe^3 and W-Fe^3 may substitute isomorphously for Sn as pointed out by Zhou Tianren et al.(1987) and Moller et al.(1988).In this paper we are concerned with the compositional characteristics as well as the modes of occurrence of trace elements in cassiterites from quartz veins and greisens in the Dupangling tin field,Guangxi,based on multivariate statistical analyses.Tin mineralization in the Dupangling area is found associated with the medium-to fine-grained protolithionite-albite granite(γ5^2b) and its outer contacts.Cassiterite occurs,with wolframite,both in quartz veins in the contact and in greisens within the granite.^1) Spatially,greisens become dominant over quartz veins in the contact andin greisens with the granite.^1)Spatialy,gresens become dominant over quartz veins in going from the contact to the interior of the granite and with increasing depth.The greisens are of various shapes.The vein-shaped and the sheet-shaped greisens at the top of the granie are rich in quartz and the chambered greiens always constitute rich ores and contain abundant topaz or mica.Genetically,Sn,W mineralizations associated with the protolithionite-albite granite(γ5^2b) are considered to have been formed from fluid melt derived from the ore-forming magma responsible for the granite(γ5^2b).  相似文献

The Neoproterozoic pluton of Gabal Gharib granite Eastern Desert of Egypt is intruded in subduction-related calc-alkaline granitic rocks of granodiorite to adamellite composition. A zone of metasomatized granite was developed along the contacts at the expense of the calc-alkaline granite. The granite of Gabal Gharib is hypersolvus, composed mainly of orthoclase-microperthite, quartz, and interstitial arfvedsonite. Fluorite, zircon, ilmenite, allanite, and astrophyllite are the main accessories. Pegmatite pods as well as miarolitic cavities (mineral-lined cavities) are common and ranging in size from a few millimeters to 50?cm. Rare-metal minerals such as columbite, cassiterite, and fluorite have been identified from the miarolitic cavities. Geochemical studies revealed that Gabal Gharib granite is a highly fractionated granite, homogeneous in composition, with high contents of SiO2, and alkalis, high Ga/Al, and Fe/Mg ratios, and low concentrations of Al, Mg, and CaO relative to granodiorite?Cadamellite country rocks. Gabal Gharib granite is metaluminous to peralkaline with ASI (0.94?C1.07). Trace element characteristics of Gabal Gharib granite include abundances of Rb, Nb, Ta, Sn, Th, U, Y, Ga, Zn, rare earth elements (REEs, except Eu), and F, and depletion in Sr, and Ba relative to granodiorite?Cadamellite country rocks. It has the geochemical characteristic of anorogenic A-type granite. The uniform trends of differentiation, normal REE distribution patterns, and low calculated tetrad effects of REE (<0.2) indicate that the effect of post-magmatic subsolidus processes were minimal in the studied granite. Fluid inclusions were studied in quartz crystals from Gabal Gharib granite, quartz pods, and metasomatized granite. The study revealed the presence of high-temperature (480?C550°C), high-salinity (19.45?C39.13?wt.% NaCl eq.) primary inclusions in both metasomatized and rare-metal granites coexisting with melt inclusions and medium-temperature (350?C450°C), medium-salinity (10?C16?wt.% NaCl esq.) aqueous inclusions coexisting hydrocarbon-bearing inclusions. Hydrocarbon is represented by magmatic CH4 in Gabal Gharib granite, while heavier aliphatic compounds may be present in quartz pods. Melt inclusions with temperatures of homogenization >600°C were also reported. Petrographic, geochemical, and fluid inclusion studies constrain that the peralkaline anorogenic granite of Gabal Gharib was derived from highly evolved magma probably originated by fractional crystallization of mantle source.  相似文献

Rare-metal granites of Nuweibi and Abu Dabbab, central Eastern Desert of Egypt, have mineralogical and geochemical specialization. These granites are acidic, slightly peraluminous to metaaluminous, Li–F–Na-rich, and Sn–Nb–Ta-mineralized. Snowball textures, homogenous distribution of rock-forming accessory minerals, disseminated mineralization, and melt inclusions in quartz phenocrysts are typical features indicative of their petrographic specialization. Geochemical characterizations are consistent with low-P-rare metal granite derived from highly evolved I-type magma in the late stage of crystallization. Melt and fluid inclusions were studied in granites, mineralized veins, and greisen. The study revealed that at least two stages of liquid immiscibility played an important role in the evolution of magma–hydrothermal transition as well as mineral deposition. The early stage is melt/fluid case. This stage is represented by the coexistence of type-B melt and aqueous-CO2 inclusions in association with topaz, columbite–tantalite, as well as cassiterite mineral inclusions. This stage seems to have taken place at the late magmatic stage at temperatures between 450 °C and 550 °C. The late magmatic to early hydrothermal stage is represented by vapor-rich H2O and CO2 inclusions, sometimes with small crystallized silicic melt in greisen and the outer margins of the mineralized veins. These inclusions are associated with beryl, topaz, and cassiterite mineralization and probably trapped at 400 °C. The last stage of immiscibility is fluid–fluid and represented by the coexisting H2O-rich and CO2-rich inclusions. Cassiterite, wolframite ± chalcopyrite, and fluorite are the main mineral assemblage in this stage. The trapping temperature was estimated between 200 °C and 350 °C. The latest phase of fluid is low-saline, low-temperature (100–180 °C), and liquid-rich aqueous fluid.  相似文献

The pegmatite province of the Southeastern Desert (SED) is part of a pegmatite district that extends from Egypt (extends to 1200 km2). Rare metal pegmatites are divided into (1) unzoned, Sn-mineralized; (2) zoned Li, Nb, Ta and Be-bearing; and (3) pegmatites and pegmatites containing colored, gem-quality tourmaline. The Rb/Sr data reflect a crustal origin for the rare metal pegmatites and indicate that the original SED magma was generated during the peak of regional metamorphism and predates the intrusion of post-tectonic leucogranites. These bodies developed an early border zone consisting of coarse to very coarse muscovite quartz alkali feldspar, followed by an intermediate zone of dominant quartz feldspar muscovite rock. Garnet, tourmaline, beryl, galena, pyrite, amblygonite, apatite and monazite are rare accessories in both zones. Cassiterite tends to concentrate in replacement zones and along fractures in albite quartz muscovite-rich portions. The highest concentrations of cassiterite occur in irregular greisenized zones which consist dominantly of micaceous aggregates of green Li-rich muscovite, quartz, albite and coarse-grained cassiterite. The different metasomatic post-solidification alterations include sodic and potassic metasomatism, greisenization and tourmalinization. Geochemically, the pegmatite-generating granites have a metaluminous composition, showing a differentiation trend from coarse-grained, unfractionated plagioclase-rich granite towards highly fractionated fine- to medium-grained, local albite-rich rock. Economically important ore minerals introduced by volatile-rich, rare metal-bearing fluids, either primarily or during the breakdown of the primary mineral assemblages, are niobium-tantalum oxides, Sn-oxides (cassiterite), Li-silicates (petalite, spodumene, euctyptite, and pollucite), Li-phosphates (amblygonite, montebrasite and lithopilite) and minor REE-minerals (Hf-zircon, monazite, xenotime, thorian, loparite and yttrio-fluorite). The pollucite is typically associated with spodumene, petalite, amblygonite, quartz and feldspar. The primary pollucite has Si/Al (at) ratios of 2.53-2.65 and CRK of 79.5- 82.2. Thorian loparite is essentially a member of the loparite (NaLREETi2O6)-lueshite (NaNbO3)-ThTi2O6-ThNb4O12 quaternary system with low or negligible contents of other end-member compositions. The mineral compositionally evolved from niobian loparite to niobian thorian and thorian loparite gave rise to ceriobetafite and belyankinite with high ThO2 contents. Thorian loparite is metamict or partly metamict and upon heating regains a structure close to that of synthetic loparite NaLaTi2O6.  相似文献

The composition of accessory minerals from granites of the second phase, quartz-muscovite (+fluorite), and quartz-muscovite-topaz greisens from the Primorsky rapakivi granite complex, West Baikal region, were studied using backscattered scanning electron microscopy. Ilmenite from granites contains inclusions of cassiterite, titanocolumbite, fergusonite-(Y), polycrase-(Y), and betafite. Allanite-(Ce), bastnaesite-(Ce), xenotime-(Y), Y- and Zr-thorite, zircon, and cyrtolite have been identified in granites. Greisens contain cassiterite, ferrocolumbite (Ta/Nb = 0.02−0.06), pyrochlore-group minerals, ilmenorutile, rutile, wolframite, polycrase-(Y), monazite-(Ce), fluocerite-(Ce), bastnaesite-(Ce), cerphosphorhuttonite, thorite, and other minerals. The ferrocolumbite + ilmenorutile assemblage is typical of quartz-muscovite greisen, whereas the rutile + ilmenorutile + wolframite + W-columbite assemblage is contained in the quartzmuscovite-topaz greisen as a result of an increase in Eh and decrease in pH and potassium activity of solution in the back zone. The compositions of Th- and REE-bearing minerals indicate the important role of phosphate and fluorine complexes in the transport of these elements.  相似文献
