Spinel exsolution is widespread in titanomagnetite from the Fe-Ti oxide gabbro of the Panzhihua intrusion, Emeishan Large Igneous Province, SW China. However, little research has been conducted into the implications of patterns in the mineralogical characteristics of the spinel for spatial variation in the controls on the exsolution mechanism and, hence, the formation process of the ore deposit. This study selected the Lanjiahuoshan Ore Block in the Panzhihua V-Ti magnetite deposit to explore this issue, systematically studying exsolution textures in the titanomagnetite through petrographic observation and the integrated use of in-situ microanalysis. The results show that the exsolved spinel gradually becomes finer-grained and less abundant from the center to edge and the bottom to top of the ore bodies. Compositionally, there is an inverse correlation between the size of exsolved spinel grains and their Mg# value. In addition, there is compositional zonation in the spinel interiors, with a gradual increase in the Mg content and decrease in Fe content from the core to the rim. The analysis suggests that fractional crystallization of ferrotitanium magma with a high oxygen fugacity in a shallow magma chamber caused compositional differences in the primary magnetite solid solution in different parts of the Panzhihua intrusion. Additionally, the thermal evolution of the magnetite solid solution differed in different parts of orebody, bringing about variations in spinel development. Together, these effects resulted in spatial variation in the abundance, grain size, and morphology of spinel in different parts of the orebody and intrusion that follows an identifiable distribution law. Furthermore, the compositional zonation of exsolved spinels reflects the rapid growth of exsolution features in a high-temperature environment. Thus, the size, morphology, abundance, and composition of spinel exsolution features in titanomagnetite provide a valuable petrogenetic tool for estimating the maturity and formational environment of the deposit.  相似文献

尕林格大型矽卡岩型铁多金属矿床地处东昆仑祁漫塔格山与柴达木盆地结合部位靠近盆地一侧。本文主要针对尕林格矿床Ⅱ矿群内发现的热液性质的Fe-Ti氧化物共生组合(HYM)和新鲜镁铁质玄武安山岩中火成性质的Fe-Ti氧化物共生组合(IGM)的化学成分及其热动力学平衡进行了详细研究。镜下观察发现,HYM与镁铁尖晶石共生,钛铁矿呈叶片状平行于磁铁矿八面体的(111)面出溶,根据氧化反应的平衡公式计算得到出溶反应的平衡温度集中在581.8~688.9℃之间,氧逸度fO2介于10-14.74~10-17.94之间;IGM主要与岩浆中的镁铁质矿物相平衡,其出溶反应的平衡温度范围为690.7~740.3℃,氧逸度集中在10-15.44~10-17.30之间。计算结果表明,尕林格矽卡岩型铁矿的最初成矿温度可达700℃,接近于水饱和岩浆结晶时的温度,因此判断HYM形成于岩浆演化早期高温高盐度流体的最初冷却过程。由于早期高温高盐度流体与围岩地层中的镁铁质火山岩发生交代反应,淋滤出大量的Fe、Ti、Al、Mg、Cu等金属物质。在高温条件下,Ti和Al进入磁铁矿晶格,导致含钛磁铁矿在降温过程中经历了氧化出溶反应形成钛铁矿-磁铁矿共生组合。此外,由于热液受到镁铁质火山岩的缓冲作用,导致HYM和IGM各自平衡时的氧逸度很接近。  相似文献

高温高压下Mg2SiO4-MgAlO4体系相变的实验研究     

翟双猛  陈汉林  费英伟  杨树锋 《矿物学报》2003,23(3):267-272

采用多顶砧高压实验装置研究了Mg2SiO4-MgAl2O4体系在压力为22 GPa,温度为1550～1750℃条件下的相变,并考查了Al2O3在γ相中的固溶度.结果表明,随着体系中MgAl2O4组分含量的增加,相组合发生了变化,依次为γ相+镁铝硅酸盐固溶体+方镁石→镁铝硅酸盐固溶体+方镁石→镁铝硅酸盐固溶体+方镁石+刚玉固溶体;镁铝硅酸盐固溶体具有石榴子石结构,其化学成分随着体系中共存相的改变而有所变化;Al2O3在γ相中的固溶度很低(其重量百分比＜0.8%),因此,在Mg2SiO4-MgAl2O4体系中Al2O3可能对γ相超尖晶石分解转变的压力不会有很大的影响.  相似文献   

Morphology and composition of spinel in Pu’u ’O’o lava (1996–1998), Kilauea volcano, Hawaii     

P. L. Roeder  C. Thornber  A. Poustovetov  A. Grant 《Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research》2003,123(3-4):245-265

The morphology and composition of spinel in rapidly quenched Pu’u ’O’o vent and lava tube samples are described. These samples contain glass, olivine phenocrysts (3–5 vol.%) and microphenocrysts of spinel (0.05 vol.%). The spinel surrounded by glass occurs as idiomorphic octahedra 5–50 μm in diameter and as chains of octahedra that are oriented with respect to each other. Spinel enclosed by olivine phenocrysts is sometimes rounded and does not generally form chains. The temperature before quenching was calculated from the MgO content of the glass and ranges from 1150°C to 1180°C. The oxygen fugacity before quenching was calculated by two independent methods and the log f_O2 ranged from −9.2 to −9.9 (delta QFM=−1). The spinel in the Pu’u ’O’o samples has a narrow range in composition with Cr/(Cr+Al)=0.61 to 0.73 and Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺+Mg)=0.46 to 0.56. The lower the calculated temperature for the samples, the higher the average Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺+Mg), Fe³⁺ and Ti in the spinel. Most zoned spinel crystals decrease in Cr/(Cr+Al) from core to rim and, in the chains, the Cr/(Cr+Al) is greater in the core of larger crystals than in the core of smaller crystals. The occurrence of chains and hopper crystals and the presence of Cr/(Cr+Al) zoning from core to rim of the spinel suggest diffusion-controlled growth of the crystals. Some of the spinel crystals may have grown rapidly under the turbulent conditions of the summit reservoir and in the flowing lava, and the crystals may have remained in suspension for a considerable period. The rapid growth may have caused very local (μm) gradients of Cr in the melt ahead of the spinel crystal faces. The crystals seem to have retained the Cr/(Cr+Al) ratio that developed during the original growth of the crystal, but the Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺+Mg) ratio may have equilibrated fairly rapidly with the changing melt composition due to olivine crystallization. Six of the samples were collected on the same day at various locations along a 10-km lava tube and the calculated pre-collection temperatures of the samples show a 5°C drop with distance from the vent. The average Fe²⁺/(Fe²⁺+Mg) of the spinel in these samples shows a weak positive correlation with decreasing MgO in the glass of these samples. The range in Cr₂O₃ (0.041–0.045 wt.%) of the glass for these six samples is too small to distinguish a consistent change along the lava tube. The spinel in the Pu’u ’O’o samples shows a zoning trend in a Cr–Al–Fe³⁺ diagram almost directly away from the Cr apex. This compares with a zoning trend in rapidly quenched MORB samples away from Cr coupled with decreasing Fe³⁺. The trend away from Cr displayed by spinel in rapidly quenched samples is in marked contrast to the trend of increasing Fe³⁺ shown by spinel in slowly cooled lava.  相似文献   

A computer simulation study of OH defects in Mg2SiO4 and Mg2GeO4 spinels     

M. Blanchard  K. Wright  J. D. Gale 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2005,32(8-9):585-593

Classical atomistic simulation techniques have been used to investigate the energies of hydrogen defects in Mg₂SiO₄ and Mg₂GeO₄ spinels. Ringwoodite (γ-Mg₂SiO₄) is considered to be the most abundant mineral in the lower part of the transition zone and can incorporate large amounts of water in the form of hydroxyls, whereas the germanate spinel (γ-Mg₂GeO₄) corresponds to a low-pressure structural analogue for ringwoodite. The calculated defect energies indicate that the most favourable mechanisms for hydrogen incorporation are coupled either with the reduction of ferric iron or with the creation of tetrahedral vacancies. Hydrogen will go preferentially into tetrahedral vacancies, eventually leading to the formation of the hydrogarnet defect, before associating with other negatively charged point defects. The presence of isolated hydroxyls is not expected. The same trend is observed for germanate, and thus γ-Mg₂GeO₄ could be used as a low-pressure analogue for ringwoodite in studies of water-related defects and their effect on physical properties.  相似文献

橄榄岩中尖晶石的化学成分分带显示，在由温度降低引起的亚固相平衡过程中，与橄榄石及斜方辉石相邻的尖晶石边缘贫Mg和Al、富Fe和Cr，而与单斜辉石相邻的尖晶石边线相反。尖晶石的Fe和Mg分带为其他矿物的粒间Fe－Mg离子扩散所致；尖晶石中的Cr和Al分带则是尖晶石晶体内部Cr－Al离子的交互扩散所致。本文从热力学理论角度说明了尖晶石晶体内部的Cr－Al交互扩散受其Fe－Mg分带的控制；从热力学计算证明了尖晶石内Al必须从富Fe处向富Mg处扩散，解释了尖晶石中Mg和Al及Fe和Cr分带的一致性。  相似文献   

Cotectic Proportions of Olivine and Spinel in Olivine-Tholeiitic Basalt and Evaluation of Pre-Eruptive Processes   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1

The volume %, distribution, texture and composition of coexistingolivine, Cr-spinel and glass has been determined in quenchedlava samples from Hawaii, Iceland and mid-oceanic ridges. Thevolume ratio of olivine to spinel varies from 60 to 2800 andsamples with >0·02% spinel have a volume ratio ofolivine to spinel of approximately 100. A plot of wt % MgO vsppm Cr for natural and experimental basaltic glasses suggeststhat the general trend of the glasses can be explained by thecrystallization of a cotectic ratio of olivine to spinel ofabout 100. One group of samples has an olivine to spinel ratioof approximately 100, with skeletal olivine phenocrysts andsmall (<50 µm) spinel crystals that tend to be spatiallyassociated with the olivine phenocrysts. The large number ofspinel crystals included within olivine phenocrysts is thoughtto be due to skeletal olivine phenocrysts coming into physicalcontact with spinel by synneusis during the chaotic conditionsof ascent and extrusion. A second group of samples tend to havelarge olivine phenocrysts relatively free of included spinel,a few large (>100 µm) spinel crystals that show evidenceof two stages of growth, and a volume ratio of olivine to spinelof 100 to well over 1000. The olivine and spinel in this grouphave crystallized more slowly with little physical interaction,and show evidence that they have accumulated in a magma chamber.

一种含钠和锌的尖晶石矿物产于中国大陆科学深钻主孔超镁铁岩中，以出溶的方式存在于钛铁矿和磁铁矿中，长5-60μm，宽2-3μm，化学组成（wB％）为MgO17．143％-22．337％，Al2O3 63．646％～66．492％，FeO9．784％～13．924％，ZnO 1．649％-6．386wt％．Na2O 0．029％～0．219wt％。Na2O与ZnO在尖晶石中的含量呈正相关关系。经同步辐射测得其为尖晶石单晶，空间群为Fm3m，晶胞参数为a=0．83781am。根据尖晶石与钛铁矿、石榴石（pyr=56-58mol％）共生和石榴石退变为顽火辉石和镁绿泥石的特点，表明该尖晶石来自超镁铁岩，它们一起经历了至少为角闪岩相的变质作用。广泛的混溶间断现象及其所造成的出溶结构出现在氧化物中，表现为Mt-Usp、Mt-Spl及Mt-Ilm之间的交生。根据前人有关Mt-Usp和Ilm-Gk-Hem固溶体系的实验。表明主孔岩石的氧逸度相对较低，形成温度应在720℃以上。这些早期在岩浆分离结晶过程中形成的铁钛氧化物出溶体，在后来的超高压变质作用下可能发生再次固溶和因降温减压造成的出溶。  相似文献   

Honvang serpentinite body of the Song Ma fault zone, Northern Vietnam: A remnant of oceanic lithosphere within the Indochina–South China suture     

N.M. Trung  T. Tsujimori  T. Itaya   《Gondwana Research》2006,9(1-2):225

The Honvang serpentinite body in the Song Ma fault zone consists mainly of massive serpentinite, altered gabbro and rare chromitite. The serpentinite preserves relict chromian spinel with rare olivine inclusions. The compositional relationship between the Fo content of olivine (Fo_90–92) and Y_Cr [atomic ratio Cr / (Cr + Al) = 0.43–0.44] of chromian spinel suggests that the original peridotite was spinel-bearing lherzolitic harzburgite. Chromitite is typically a high-Al type, consisting of chromian spinel with Y_Cr = 0.43–0.44. Saussuritized fine-grained gabbros display nearly flat rare earth element patterns, suggesting MORB-like affinity. Considering this petrotectonic information, we suggest that the serpentinite body of the Song Ma fault zone represents a remnant of paleo-oceanic lithosphere between the Indochina and South China blocks. The lherzolitic harzburgite may have formed in an environment with low degrees of melt depletion in a slow-spreading setting similar to some Tethyan paleo-oceanic lithospheres.  相似文献
