Cartographic techniques for mapping the geochemical data of stream sediments: the “Sample Catchment Basin” approach     

M.?SpadoniEmail author  G.?Cavarretta  A.?Patera 《Environmental Geology》2004,45(5):593-599

The Sample Catchment Basin (SCB) mapping technique extends the representativeness of the geochemical features of stream sediments to the surface of the whole upstream drainage basin. SCB boundaries clash with the water divides traced from each sampling point and are limited upstream by the presence of further SCBs. They are also assumed to represent the elementary map unit. The rank of SCBs can be defined counting the number of upstream SCBs along the branches of a fluvial network. The presence of low rank SCBs minimizes the statistical redundancy of measures. The SCB technique is particularly suitable for the geochemical mapping of mountainous or hilly areas and to correctly display the information into a morphological context. This approach can be also valuable in the case of low sampling density, inhomogeneous sampling schemes, and especially when very accurate evaluations of the spatial distribution of chemicals (with natural or anthropogenic origin) are required.  相似文献   

Groundwater chemistry and mass transfers in the Independence aquifer,central Mexico,by using multivariate statistics and mass-balance models   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

In the light of progressive depletion of groundwater reservoir and water quality deterioration of the Independence aquifer, an investigation on chemical data of dissolved major and minor constituents in 246 recent groundwater samples was performed. The main objective was the detection of processes responsible for the geochemical evolution and mineralization throughout the area. Multivariate techniques revealed different sources of solutes (a) dissolution of calcium and magnesium carbonate minerals, (b) weathering of acid volcanic minerals, (c) alteration of manganese containing alkaline silicates, (d) leaching of halite deposits of meteoric origin, (e) contamination from agricultural and urban wastewaters, and (f) evaporative effects due to intensive irrigation. Although nitrate contamination is associated with pollution from intensive cultivated areas, natural contamination plays an important role in the study area. The investigation reveals that weathering of acid volcanic rocks (rhyolite) and oxidation of arsenic bearing sulfide minerals are the responsible processes for high fluorine (up to 16 mg/l) and arsenic (up to 0.12 mg/l) contents, respectively, exceeding the Mexican maximum admissible concentration for drinking water. Except for kaolinite, all recharge processes are dissolution oriented (CO₂, calcite, dolomite, K-feldspar, plagioclase). Silicate precipitation (amorphous silica and chalcedony) is of growing importance in discharge zones. Cation exchange is not an important issue in the whole study area.  相似文献   

The Geochemistry of Lake Joyce, McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica     

Joseph A. Shacat  William J. Green  Eric H. Decarlo  Silvia Newell 《Aquatic Geochemistry》2004,10(3-4):325-352

Lake Joyce is one of the least studied lakes of the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Similar to other lakes in this region, Lake Joyce is a closed-basin, permanently ice-covered, meromictic lake. We present here a detailed investigation of major ions, nutrients, and dissolved trace elements for Lake Joyce. Specifically, we investigate the role of iron and manganese oxides and hydrous oxides in trace metal cycling.Lake Joyce is characterized by fresh, oxic waters overlying an anoxic brine, primarily Na–Cl. Surface waters have a maximum nitrate concentration of 26M with a molar dissolved inorganic nitrogen to phosphorus ratio of 477. The supply of nitrogen is attributed to atmospheric deposition, possibly from polar stratospheric clouds. Dissolved phosphorus is scavenged by hydrous iron oxides. The pH is highest (10.15) just beneath the 7-m thick ice cover and decreases to a minimum of 7.29 in the redox transition zone. Dissolved Al exceeds 8M in surface waters, and appears to be controlled by equilibrium with gibbsite. In contrast, concentrations of other trace elements in surface waters are quite low (e.g., 5.4nM Cu, 0.19nM Co, <20pM La). Dissolved Fe, Mn, Ni and Cd were below our detection limits of 13 nM, 1. 8 nM, 4.7 nM and 15pM (respectively) in surface waters. There was a 6-m vertical separation in the onset of Mn and Fe reduction, with dissolved Mn appearing higher in the water column than Fe. Based on thermodynamic calculations, dissolved Mn appears to be controlled by equilibrium with hausmannite (Mn3O4). Co tracks the Mn profile closely, suggesting Co(III) is bound in the lattice of Mn oxides, whereas the Ce profile is similar, yet the Ce anomaly suggests oxidative scavenging of Ce. Release of Cu, Ni, Cd and trivalent REE appears to be controlled by pH-induced desorption from Fe and Mn oxides, although Cu (and perhaps Ni) may be scavenged by organic matter in surface waters.  相似文献

Geochemical modeling,fate distribution,and risk exposure of potentially toxic metals in the surface sediment of the Shyok suture zone,northern Pakistan

The objective of the current study was to assess the contamination of potentially toxic metals (PTMs) in weathered surface sediment, along stream tributaries, and surrounding area of the river Chitral, Shyok suture zone district Chitral, Pakistan. To understand the geochemical features of 113 sediment, samples were collected from the Mirkhani and Drosh area. Then, different statistical tools including the geo-accumulation index (Igeo), cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), and ecological risk assessment (ERA) were used to unravel the origin, intensity, and exposure level of PTMs to control risk and restore the ecosystem within the study area. The results for the PTMs namely nickle (Ni), chromium (Cr), copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), zinc (Zn), and cobalt (Co) in Mirkhani and Drosh were in the following ranges: 10–150, 15–210, 15–250, 0.08–1.00, 10–70, 76–240 and 14–51; and 13–240, 17–210, 15–150, 0.08–0.60, 7–140, 47–150 and 13–36 mg/kg, respectively. In consequence, the potential ecological risk caused by Pb, Ni, Cu, Co, Cr, and Zn is reflected by the percentages of samples with an ecological risk index (ERI) greater than one which were 100%, 91%, 100%, 100%, 92%, and 100%, respectively. However, the overall mean decreasing order of ecological risk of PTMs in the district Chitral was Pb > Ni > Cu > Co > Cr > Zn > Cd. Moreover, the PCA yielded 78% variability which indicated that mineral prospects play an important role in the contamination of sediment. Furthermore, the mineral phases of Pb and Zn suggested supersaturation, while that for Cd revealed unsaturation. The results of Igeo, ERI, and CA indicated contamination of PTMs in the study area. The ERI value of Pb, Ni, Cu, Co, Cr, and Zn was higher than 1 suggesting an ecological risk in the study area. Moreover, the current study showed the dominance of geogenic contamination with major contributions from ultramafic rock and known mineral prospects. Therefore, contaminated sediment of the Shyok suture zone is extremely detrimental to the aquatic ecosystem of the study area.  相似文献   

由相对地热梯度推断的腾冲火山区现存岩浆囊   总被引：15，自引：6，他引：15

为利用温泉来研究和监测腾冲火山区的现今岩浆分布并探讨其活动性，提出相对地热梯度的概念：假设各热田或水热活动区的热储深度相等，则热储温度与地表温泉温度之差为该地相对地热梯度。通过对前人在该地区获得的温泉的基本要素和温泉水化学分析数据分析，选取了159个温泉计算相对地热梯度。用这159个数据，通过克里金插值方法获得了腾冲火山区的相对地热梯度平面分布。结果发现腾冲火山区有3个相对地热梯度在100℃以上的高值区域。结合其他资料，认为腾冲火山区现今存在3个岩浆囊，它们的几何尺度为19～28kin，深度为4～12km或更深，并且目前的活动性各不相同。  相似文献

则不吓铅锌矿床为冈底斯成矿带中部西段新发现的热液脉型铅锌矿床。依据成矿地质条件、地球化学异常、高磁异常和激电异常、矿体特征等综合分析,区内成矿元素以Pb、Zn、Ag等元素为主,是寻找中低温热液型铅锌银多金属矿的有利地区,并指示其深部可能存在隐伏岩体,地表出露的断裂构造很可能是岩浆侵入在顶部引爆形成的裂隙,而各类岩脉为深部岩体向上延伸的分支。综合认为,该矿床找矿前景很好,后续通过进一步勘查可望取得更大的找矿突破,同时应注意在热液脉型铅锌矿体深部对斑岩型钨钼铜矿或隐爆角砾岩型铅锌银矿的识别和寻找,以拓展区内找矿空间和矿种类型。  相似文献

稀散矿产资源作为"三稀"矿产(稀散、稀有、稀土)的重要组成部分,对国民经济、国家安全和科技发展具有"四两拨千斤"的重要战略意义,是新一代信息技术、新能源生物、高端装备制造、新材料、新能源汽车等重点培育发展战略性新兴产业的功能材料和结构材料,也是现代工业、国防和尖端科技领域不可缺少的支撑材料。相对其它大宗金属,稀散金属往往分散难以成矿,需在特殊的地球化学背景下,经过更复杂地质过程才能富集成矿。初步研究表明,扬子板块西缘铟、锗、镓等稀散金属均发生了超常富集,构成了全球罕见的稀散金属聚集区,是研究稀散金属矿床的天然实验室和理想基地,扬子板块西缘具有什么样的特殊地球化学背景才能导致众多稀散矿床聚集。为了解决这一科学问题,本文以扬子西缘为研究区,实测了扬子西缘典型代表区(贵州)的元古界-中生界剖面,系统地对不同时代的地层样品进行了测试。结果表明,元古界地层的Ga、Ge、Se、Cd、In、Te、Re、Tl均值分别为9. 71×10~(-6)、0. 30×10~(-6)、1. 71×10~(-6)、0. 48×10~(-6)、0. 07×10~(-6)、0. 10×10~(-6)、0. 015×10~(-6)、0. 29×10~(-6);古生界地层的Ga、Ge、Se、Cd、In、Te、Re、Tl均值分别为14. 70×10~(-6)、0. 35×10~(-6)、2. 36×10~(-6)、0. 23×10~(-6)、0. 06×10~(-6)、0. 08×10~(-6)、0. 014×10~(-6)、0. 69×10~(-6);中生界地层的Ga、Ge、Se、Cd、In、Te、Re、Tl均值分别为9. 06×10~(-6)、0. 22×10~(-6)、2. 48×10~(-6)、0. 07×10~(-6)、0. 04×10~(-6)、0. 07×10~(-6)、0. 003×10~(-6)、0. 11×10~(-6)。结合稀散元素矿床分布特征,发现扬子板块西缘基底地层(除Ge),稀散元素背景总体不高,早寒武世是重要的稀散元素富集阶段,可能与这一时期发育的黑色岩系成矿系统有关,广泛分布的峨眉山玄武岩层一般有较高的稀散元素背景,可能是重要的矿源,Se或Cd或Ga的赋矿层位与高地球化学背景层位对应关系较好,其它元素虽然对应关系不明显,但赋矿层位下部一般为高背景层,反映了成矿物质浅源或就近的特点。本文只是报道了扬子板块西缘的绝大部分不同时代地层的地球化学背景值,初步探讨了稀散元素地球化学背景与稀散矿床的耦合关系。随着稀散矿床的研究不断深入,更多的地质信息和成矿规律会逐渐被揭示,本研究可为后续以上工作的开展奠定背景基础。  相似文献

任燕  颉勇 《新疆地质》2019,(3):313-317

同成地区位于东天山阿齐山-长城山岛弧带(觉罗塔格岛弧),南部有彩霞山铅锌矿,东部有红柳沟铜铅锌多金属矿及维山铅锌矿等。该地区处于新疆重要的铜、镍、金等多金属成矿带,是新疆重要成矿带,成矿条件有利。研究区内元素异常受地层控制明显,主成矿元素Pb、Zn富集度高、范围广,且元素异常整体重叠,所圈定的化探异常与地表发现的铅矿化带走向一致。根据目前取得的化探及找矿成果,认为同成地区具有寻找新型铅矿的较大潜力。  相似文献
