Genesis modelling for the Hamersley BIF-hosted iron ores of Western Australia: a critical review     

R. C. Morris  M. Kneeshaw 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2013,60(5):417-451

Enrichment iron ore of the Hamersley Province, currently estimated at a resource of over 40 billion tonnes (Gt), mainly consists of BIF (banded iron-formation)-hosted bedded iron deposits (BID) and channel iron deposits (CID), with only minor detrital iron deposits (DID). The Hamersley BID comprises two major ore types: the dominant supergene martite–goethite (M-G) ores (Mesozoic–Paleocene) and the premium martite–microplaty hematite ores (M-mplH; ca 2.0 Ga) with their various subtypes. The supergene M-G ores are not common outside Australia, whereas the M-mplH ores are the principal worldwide resource. There are two current dominant genetic models for the Hamersley BID. In the earlier 1980–1985 model, supergene M-G ores formed in the Paleoproterozoic well below normal atmospheric access, driven by seasonal oxidising electrochemical reactions in the vadose zone of the parent BIF (cathode) linked through conducting magnetite horizons to the deep reacting zone (anode). Proterozoic regional metamorphism/diagenesis at ～80–100°C of these M-G ores formed mplH from the matrix goethite in the local hydrothermal environment of its own exhaled water to produce M-mplH ores with residual goethite. Following general exposure by erosion in the Cretaceous–Paleocene when a major second phase of M-G ores formed, ground water leaching of residual goethite from the metamorphosed Proterozoic ores resulted in the mainly goethite-free M-mplH ores of Mt Whaleback and Mt Tom Price. Residual goethite is common in the Paraburdoo M-mplH-goethite ores where erratic remnants of Paleoproterozoic cover indicate more recent exposure.

Deep unweathered BIF alteration residuals in two small areas of the Mt Tom Price M-mplH deposits have been used since 1999 for new hypogene–supergene modelling of the M-mplH ores. These models involve a major Paleoproterozoic hydrothermal stage in which alkaline solutions from the underlying Wittenoom Formation dolomite traversed the Southern Batter Fault to leach matrix silica from the BIF, adding siderite and apatite to produce a magnetite–siderite–apatite ‘protore.’ A later heated meteoric solution stage oxidised siderite to mplH + ankerite and magnetite to martite. Weathering finally removed residual carbonates and apatite leaving the high-grade porous M-mplH ore. Further concepts for the Mt Tom Price North and the Southern Ridge Deposits involving acid solutions followed, but these have been modified to return essentially to the earlier hypogene–supergene model. Textural data from erratic ‘metasomatic BIF’ zones associated with the above deposits are unlike those of the typical martite–microplaty hematite ore bodies. The destiny of the massive volumes of dissolved silica gangue and the absence of massive silica aureoles has not been explained. Petrographic and other evidence indicate the Mt Tom Price metasomatism is a localised post-ore phenomenon. Exothermic oxidation reactions in the associated pyrite-rich black shales during post-ore removal by groundwater of remnant goethite in the ores may have resulted in this very localised and erratic hydrothermal alteration of BIF and its immediately associated pre-existing ore.  相似文献

厌氧条件下,Cronobacter sakazakii以乙酸钠作为电子供体,针铁矿中Fe(Ⅲ)作为电子受体进行生命活动,其新陈代谢过程伴随Fe(Ⅲ)的还原。细菌增殖和稳定生长过程中不停还原针铁矿并大量累积Fe(Ⅱ);当细菌衰亡时,Fe(Ⅱ)的产生随之减缓;细菌的活动停止时,Fe(Ⅱ)不再积累并最终保持稳定。同步辐射XRD测试表明,微生物还原作用后针铁矿出现了一系列新衍射峰：4.8、6.03、6.13、6.84、7.7和11.4 峰,可能形成具层状结构的新物相。在XANES图谱中Fe主吸收峰向低能量方向移动1 eV,边前峰峰位中心向低能量方向移动且峰面积减小,表明Cronobacter sakazakii的异化Fe(Ⅲ)还原作用使针铁矿中Fe氧化态降低,矿物晶体结构发生了变化。  相似文献

铁（氢）氧化物对P的吸持和释放在一定程度上决定着P的生物有效性和水体富营养化。以两种环境中常见晶质铁氧化物（针铁矿和赤铁矿）为对照,采用X射线衍射（XRD）、透射电镜（TEM）、热重分析（TGA）和孔径分析以及动力学和吸附-解吸热力学平衡等技术方法,研究了弱晶质水铁矿对P吸附-解吸特性,并探讨了相关机制。实验表明,三种矿物对P的吸附分为起始的快速反应和随后的慢速反应,它们均符合准一级动力学过程,反应中OH释放明显滞后于P吸附,P吸附经历了从外围到内囤配位、单齿到多齿配位过渡的过程,与晶质氧化铁比,水铁矿吸附容量和OH释放量更大、慢速吸附反应更快、存在缓慢扩散反应阶段,吸附容量依次是：水铁矿（436μmol／m^2）〉针铁矿（262μmol／m^2）〉赤铁矿（228μmol／m^2）,针铁矿和赤铁矿吸附P符合L（Langmuir）模型,而水铁矿更符合F（Fremldlictl）模型。中性盐介质（KCl）中在最大吸附量时P的解吸率依次为：水铁矿（85％）〈针铁矿（10％）〈赤铁矿（125％）,柠檬酸通过配体解吸和诱导溶解两种机制促进P的解吸,最大吸附量时解吸率依次是：针铁矿（25％）〈水铁矿（32％）〈赤铁矿（50％）。  相似文献   

Comparative analysis on utilisation of linear spectral unmixing and band ratio methods for processing ASTER data to delineate bauxite over a part of Chotonagpur plateau,Jharkhand, India     

Arindam Guha  K. Vinod Kumar 《国际地球制图》2016,31(4):367-384

We have attempted comparative analysis of the utility of linear spectral unmixing (LSU) method and band ratios for delineating bauxite from laterite within the lateritic bauxite provinces of Chotonagpur Plateau, Jharkhand of India. This was attempted based on processing of visible–near infrared (VNIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) spectral bands of Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) sensor. In LSU method, spectral features of main constituent minerals of lateritic bauxite are used to decompose the pixel spectra to estimate the relative abundance of bauxite and laterite in each pixel to spatially delineate bauxite within laterite. We have also compared the bauxite map derived using LSU method with bauxite maps of two band ratios in terms of spatial disposition of bauxite. We also have attempted to relate the abundance values of pixels of LSU-based bauxite map with band ratio values of bauxite pixels of two selected bauxite indices.  相似文献

石英质玉石是由隐晶质-微显晶质石英矿物集合体组成的一种玉石,黄色和红色是石英质玉石最主要的颜色种类,近年来在珠宝市场上备受关注。前人研究结果表明,黄色石英质玉石的致色矿物颗粒非常细小,赋存于石英颗粒之间,通过一般的测试方法很难准确鉴定其种属。本文对云南龙陵、安徽霍山、广西贺州3个产地的石英质玉石进行了显微镜观察、拉曼光谱和紫外可见光吸收光谱测试,通过紫外可见光吸收光谱的一阶导数图谱,对石英质玉石的黄色和红色部位进行了研究。结果表明,黄色石英质玉石紫外可见光吸收光谱一阶导数图谱的特征峰有545~535 nm和435 nm,主要由针铁矿致色;红色石英质玉石紫外可见光吸收光谱一阶导数图谱的特征峰介于555~595nm之间,主要由赤铁矿致色;黄色和红色之间的过渡色可同时出现595~555 nm、545~535 nm和435 nm特征峰,主要由针铁矿和赤铁矿共同致色。  相似文献

作为表生土壤环境中易生成且分布广泛的氧化锰矿物,水锰矿(γ-MnOOH)能参与铁氧化物的生成过程,影响Fe_(2+)的迁移、转化和归趋。本文考察了pH值为3.0~7.0的模拟水溶液体系中水锰矿与Fe_(2+)的相互作用及其生成铁氧化物的过程,分析了Fe_(2+)浓度、pH值和空气(氧气)对Fe(Ⅲ)氧化物晶体结构类型、化学组成和反应速率的影响。研究结果表明,水锰矿氧化Fe_(2+)产物主要为针铁矿和纤铁矿;pH值为3.0~5.0时产物为针铁矿,而pH值为7.0时产物为针铁矿与纤铁矿的混合物,且高浓度Fe_(2+)会促使纤铁矿生成;引入空气利于针铁矿生成;反应速率随着pH值升高、氧气分压的增大而加快。本工作丰富了对铁氧化物在常见锰氧化物表面形成和转化过程的认识。  相似文献

选择针铁矿对Pb2+、Cu2+、Cd2+等3种重金属离子的吸附实验,开展矿物/水界面反应性研究.金属离子(M2+)在矿物-水溶液间分配有多种表面反应机制,这些表面反应发生作用的条件主要取决于吸附质水化学性质和矿物表面荷电性,因此,溶液pH值是影响矿物/水界面反应性的关键因素.在不同pH值条件下, 表面羟基可通过发生质子化或去质子化反应而使得矿物表面产生荷电性并发生改变,而金属离子的水解则可显著加快金属羟基配合物的形成,从而进一步增强了矿物/水界面反应.本实验条件下针铁矿表面对重金属离子的吸着量随pH值升高而升高,在一个较窄的pH值范围内吸附率急剧升高,呈S形分布.针铁矿对3种不同的重金属离子的吸附能力的强弱顺序是Cu2+＞Pb2+＞Cd2+.无论是Langmuir方程还是Freundlich方程,都能较好拟合针铁矿对重金属离子的等温吸附过程.Freundlich方程的n值均在0.1～0.5之间,说明重金属离子在针铁矿表面的吸附并不能简单地归结为单配位或双配位模式,可能存在着多种吸附结合形态.表观吸附常数KM值的变化规律,说明重金属离子与针铁矿表面反应模式及其表面吸附形态发生了变化,具体的吸附形态还有待谱学研究进一步证实.  相似文献
