大多数磷矿伴随着高含量的放射性元素U,通过对龙门山地区磷矿开采和加工过程中U,Th迁移的研究,初步查明了沱江流域放射性环境问题。研究结果显示,除含U磷块岩外,四川省磷肥及磷矿石中U含量水平相对偏高,磷矿开采加工是造成区域放射性元素含量偏高的主要原因;磷矿加工过程中放射性元素U,Th主要迁移到中间产物及最终产品中;磷石膏的堆放对周边土壤环境的放射性影响,水平方向上已超过2 km,垂向上近50 cm;磷矿的开采与加工已对流域产生了一定程度的放射性环境影响。  相似文献

鄂尔多斯盆地三叠-侏罗系的成岩作用显示出受周边活动带干扰的类克拉通型特征.来自北部老山的岩浆岩碎屑、铁镁质矿物及火山喷发的火山灰导致在同生.早期成岩阶段孔隙水中释放大量铁、镁、硅、铝等离子,从而析出大量蒙脱石和富铁的绿泥石、沸石类和硅质矿物;在上三叠统中夹有由火山灰成岩转变而成的多层斑脱岩;同时导致富铀碎屑的聚集和由于粘土矿物、褐煤等的吸附作用造成的铀离子的预富集.在中成岩阶段,石油生成并在粘土矿物放出大量孔隙水作为载体的情况下初次运移,有机溶液进入储层使铝硅酸盐矿物溶解产生次生孔隙;同时蒙脱石和伊利石对油和气的生成具有催化作用,显示出典型的有机-无机成岩成藏作用过程.中晚燕山运动是一次构造热事件,此时期发生的表生成岩阶段是鄂尔多斯盆地成藏成矿的重要时期,不但促进了三叠系油和古生界天然气的生成,而且提供了油气运聚成藏的动力学条件;另一方面,天然气向盆地北东向的大规模运移散失造成强还原环境,促使具备铀矿形成条件的东胜地区侏罗系中大型铀矿的形成,是典型的有机-无机成岩成矿作用的结果.  相似文献   

Mineralogical and geochemical alteration of low-grade metamorphic black slates due to oxidative weathering   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Low-grade metamorphic black slates of Silurian and Lower Devonian ages (from the Thüringisches Schiefergebirge in Germany) were investigated to identify mineralogical and geochemical alterations that occur during the oxidative weathering black slates.The slates exhibit an intense total organic carbon decrease (>90 wt%) due to oxidative weathering. The organic matter in black slate consists mainly of non-pyrolysable material with only minor portions of pyrolysable material. In contrast to the non-pyrolysable organic matter, the concentration of pyrolysable organic matter is not decreased during weathering. Heating experiments have yielded information about a potential protection of pyrolysable organic matter against weathering, which is probably caused by a structural configuration or the intergrowth of organic matter and illite.The slates consist mainly of illite. Iron oxide (goethite) and phosphate encrustations were formed on slate surfaces as a result of oxidative and acid weathering of both iron sulfide and monazite. Kaolinite often occurs as an older encrustation beneath the iron oxide encrustations. Encrustations of iron oxide and phosphate are major sinks for trace elements, released during oxidative weathering.  相似文献   

The Rožná uranium deposit (Bohemian Massif, Czech Republic): shear zone-hosted, late Variscan and post-Variscan hydrothermal mineralization     

Bohdan Kříbek  Karel Žák  Petr Dobeš  Jaromír Leichmann  Marta Pudilová  Miloš René  Bohdan Scharm  Marta Scharmová  Antonín Hájek  Daniel Holeczy  Ulrich F. Hein  Bernd Lehmann 《Mineralium Deposita》2009,44(1):99-128

Three major mineralization events are recorded at the Rožná uranium deposit (total mine production of 23,000 t U, average grade of 0.24% U): (1) pre-uranium quartz-sulfide and carbonate-sulfide mineralization, (2) uranium, and (3) post-uranium quartz-carbonate-sulfide mineralization. (1) K–Ar ages for white mica from wall rock alteration of the pre-uranium mineralization style range from 304.5 ± 5.8 to 307.6 ± 6.0 Ma coinciding with the post-orogenic exhumation of the Moldanubian orogenic root and retrograde-metamorphic equilibration of the high-grade metamorphic host rocks. The fluid inclusion record consists of low-salinity aqueous inclusions, together with H₂O-CO₂-CH₄, CO₂-CH₄, and pure CH₄ inclusions. The fluid inclusion, paragenetic, and isotope data suggest that the pre-uranium mineralization formed from a reduced low-salinity aqueous fluid at temperatures close to 300°C. (2) The uraniferous hydrothermal event is subdivided into the pre-ore, ore, and post-ore substages. K–Ar ages of pre-ore authigenic K-feldspar range from 296.3 ± 7.5 to 281.0 ± 5.4 Ma and coincide with the transcurrent reorganization of crustal blocks of the Bohemian Massif and with Late Stephanian to Early Permian rifting. Massive hematitization, albitization, and desilicification of the pre-ore altered rocks indicate an influx of oxidized basinal fluids to the crystalline rocks of the Moldanubian domain. The wide range of salinities of fluid inclusions is interpreted as a result of the large-scale mixing of basinal brines with meteoric water. The cationic composition of these fluids indicates extensive interaction with crystalline rocks. Chlorite thermometry yielded temperatures of 260°C to 310°C. During this substage, uranium was probably leached from the Moldanubian crystalline rocks. The hydrothermal alteration of the ore substage followed, or partly overlapped in time, the pre-ore substage alteration. K–Ar ages of illite from ore substage alteration range from 277.2 ± 5.5 to 264.0 ± 4.3 Ma and roughly correspond with the results of chemical U–Pb dating of authigenic monazite (268 ± 50 Ma). The uranium ore deposition was accompanied by large-scale decomposition of biotite and pre-ore chlorite to Fe-rich illite and iron hydrooxides. Therefore, it is proposed that the deposition of uranium ore was mostly in response to the reduction of the ore-bearing fluid by interaction with ferrous iron-bearing silicates (biotite and pre-ore chlorite). The Th data on primary, mostly aqueous, inclusions trapped in carbonates of the ore substage range between 152°C and 174°C and total salinity ranges over a relatively wide interval of 3.1 to 23.1 wt% NaCl eq. Gradual reduction of the fluid system during the post-ore substage is manifested by the appearance of a new generation of authigenic chlorite and pyrite. Chlorite thermometry yielded temperatures of 150°C to 170°C. Solid bitumens that post-date uranium mineralization indicate radiolytic polymerization of gaseous and liquid hydrocarbons and their derivatives. The origin of the organic compounds can be related to the diagenetic and catagenetic transformation of organic matter in Upper Stephanian and Permian sediments. (3) K–Ar ages on illite from post-uranium quartz-carbonate-sulfide mineralization range from 233.7 ± 4.7 to 227.5 ± 4.6 Ma and are consistent with the early Tethys-Central Atlantic rifting and tectonic reactivation of the Variscan structures of the Bohemian Massif. A minor part of the late Variscan uranium mineralization was remobilized during this hydrothermal event.  相似文献   

Geochemical assessment of an analogue site for an engineered landform at Ranger Uranium Mine, Northern Territory, Australia     

S. J. Riley  J. F. Rich 《Environmental Geology》1998,34(2-3):203-213

 An essential element in identifying sites as analogues for the long-term development of soils and vegetation on engineered landforms of the rehabilitated Ranger Uranium Mine, Northern Territory, Australia, is the need to match rocks. Comparison of the geochemistry of rocks from the waste rock dump of Ranger Uranium Mine and the potential analogue site of Tin Camp Creek area, Western Arnhem Land, indicates that there are several sites along Tin Camp Creek that may be used as analogue sites. Detailed comparisons between the Ranger and Tin Camp Creek lithologies have been undertaken using a variety of techniques, including cluster analysis. It is demonstrated that at least 70% of the rocks being mined at Ranger have analogues in the Tin Camp Creek area. Received: 2 October 1996 · Accepted: 4 November 1997  相似文献

华南花岗岩型铀矿床主要特征与成矿作用研究进展     

张龙  陈振宇  汪方跃 《岩石学报》2021,37(9):2657-2676

花岗岩型铀矿床是我国最重要的铀矿床类型之一,且主要分布在华南地区。本文在简要介绍华南花岗岩型铀矿床主要地质特征的基础上,重点总结了华南花岗岩型铀矿床的产铀花岗岩、成矿时代、成矿流体和成矿物质来源等方面的研究进展。华南花岗岩型铀矿床主要分布在华夏地块,以桃山-诸广铀成矿带最为重要。矿床以中小型(300～3000t U)和中低品位(0.05%～0.2%U)为主。产铀花岗岩主要形成于三叠纪(240～205Ma)和侏罗纪(165～150Ma)两个时期,属于S型花岗岩,源区以泥质沉积岩为主。三叠纪过铝质淡色花岗岩是有利的铀源岩,其中铀主要赋存于晶质铀矿。黑云母、晶质铀矿、磷灰石和锆石成分特征是评价花岗岩产铀潜力的有效工具。华南大多数花岗岩型铀矿床形成于白垩纪-古近纪(110～50Ma),以后生热液成因为主,其形成主要与区域白垩纪-古近纪岩石圈伸展作用和幔源基性岩浆活动有关。成矿流体以大气降水为主,成矿温度集中在120～260℃、盐度一般小于10%NaCleqv,铀在流体中主要以铀酰碳酸络合物和铀酰氟化物形式迁移,物理化学条件变化和CO_2去气导致铀在有利部位沉淀。文章指出应加强花岗岩中铀活化机制、铀成矿时代、以及下庄铀矿田侏罗纪(175～145Ma)铀成矿作用研究。  相似文献   

Precipitation of aluminum and magnesium secondary minerals from uranium mill raffinate (pH 1.0–10.5) and their controls on aqueous contaminants     

《Applied Geochemistry》2016

Models of geochemical controls on elements of concern (EOCs; e.g., As, Se, Mo, Ni) in U tailings are dominated by ferrihydrite. However, the evolution of aqueous concentrations of Al and Mg through the Key Lake (KL) U mill bulk neutralization process indicates that secondary Al and Mg minerals comprise a large portion of the tailings solids. X-ray diffraction, Al K-edge XAS, and TEM elemental mapping of solid samples collected from a pilot-scale continuous-flow synthetic raffinate neutralization system of the KL mill indicate the secondary Al–Mg minerals present include Mg–Al hydrotalcite, amorphous Al(OH)₃, and an amorphous hydrobasaluminite-type phase. The ferrihydrite present contains Al and may be more accurately described as Al–Fe(OH)₃. In the final combined tailings sample (pH 10.5) collected from the model experiments using raffinate with Al, Mg, and Fe, solid phase EOCs were associated with Al–Fe(OH)₃ and Mg–Al hydrotalcite. In model experiments using raffinate devoid of Fe, aqueous EOC concentrations decreased greatly at pH 4.0 (i.e., where ferrihydrite would precipitate) and largely remained in the solid phase when increased to the terminal pH of 10.5; this suggests Al–Mg minerals can control aqueous concentrations of EOCs in the raffinate in the absence of Fe. Maximum adsorption capacities for individual and mixtures of adsorbates by Mg–Al hydrotalcite were determined. A revised model of the geochemical controls in U mill tailings is presented in which Al and Mg minerals co-exist with Fe minerals to control EOC concentrations.  相似文献   

Isotope hydrology of the Chalk River Laboratories site,Ontario, Canada     

《Applied Geochemistry》2016

This paper presents results of hydrochemical and isotopic analyses of groundwater (fracture water) and porewater, and physical property and water content measurements of bedrock core at the Chalk River Laboratories (CRL) site in Ontario. Density and water contents were determined and water-loss porosity values were calculated for core samples. Average and standard deviations of density and water-loss porosity of 50 core samples from four boreholes are 2.73 ± 12 g/cc and 1.32 ± 1.24 percent. Respective median values are 2.68 and 0.83 indicating a positive skewness in the distributions. Groundwater samples from four deep boreholes were analyzed for strontium (⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr) and uranium (²³⁴U/²³⁸U) isotope ratios. Oxygen and hydrogen isotope analyses and selected solute concentrations determined by CRL are included for comparison. Groundwater from borehole CRG-1 in a zone between approximately +60 and −240 m elevation is relatively depleted in δ¹⁸O and δ²H perhaps reflecting a slug of water recharged during colder climatic conditions. Porewater was extracted from core samples by centrifugation and analyzed for major dissolved ions and for strontium and uranium isotopes. On average, the extracted water contains 15 times larger concentration of solutes than the groundwater. ²³⁴U/²³⁸U and correlation of ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr with Rb/Sr values indicate that the porewater may be substantially older than the groundwater. Results of this study show that the Precambrian gneisses at Chalk River are similar in physical properties and hydrochemical aspects to crystalline rocks being considered for the construction of nuclear waste repositories in other regions.  相似文献
