The role of evaporation on the formation of secondary Cu-hydroxy minerals in the arid Namaqualand soil system of South Africa     

《Applied Geochemistry》2014

The soils surrounding the Spektakel mine in the arid Okiep copper district of the Northern Cape Province, South Africa have been exposed to Cu containing acid mine drainage (AMD) for well over a century. This has led to acute soil contamination with Cu concentrations present as high as 10 wt%. Despite the sulphate-rich environment, associated with AMD, the Cu-hydroxy chloride mineral, atacamite [Cu₂(OH)₃Cl] is the exclusive secondary Cu mineral identified in the soils. Brochantite [Cu₄(OH)₆SO₄], the sulphate equivalent was not detected. Evaporation is a major hydrologic process in the arid soil system, thus the chemical evolution of the saline, metal containing brine was determined both experimentally and using PHREEQC modelling in the presence and absence of calcite. In samples that evaporated in the absence of calcite, the pH of the evaporating solution progressively decreased to below 3.5, whereas the solution in contact with calcite retained a circumneutral pH throughout the evaporation process. Thus in the absence of calcite, evaporation alone will not favour the formation of Cu-hydroxy minerals. Chemical activities of the evaporating solutions were modelled using the SIT.dat database of PHREEQC. This allowed the inclusion of aqueous complexes into the activity calculations of the evaporating solutions. Contrary to the conservative molality evolution of sulphate, the evolution of the sulphate activity was substantially suppressed due to the formation of MgSO₄⁰ aqueous complexes. We propose that these MgSO₄⁰ aqueous complexes are responsible for the absence of brochantite whereas the conservative chloride ion is more available for secondary Cu mineral formation. This suggests that ion pairs and aqueous complexes play an important role in determining the speciation of evaporite minerals and should be included in the modelling of such systems.  相似文献   

Highly fractionated Late Triassic I-type granites and related molybdenum mineralization in the Qinling orogenic belt: Geochemical and U–Pb–Hf and Re–Os isotope constraints     

《Ore Geology Reviews》2014

We present new data on the highly fractionated Late Triassic I-type Liyuantang granite, which is located in the middle segment of the South Qinling Subzone of central China and is associated with molybdenum mineralization. Zircon U–Pb dating indicates that the granite was emplaced at 210.1 ± 1.9 Ma, with a single zircon containing an inherited core that yielded an age of 449.8 ± 7.1 Ma. Magmatic zircons from the granite have ε_Hf(t) values of − 4.0 to + 1.5, whereas the inherited zircon core has a ε_Hf(t) value of − 5.3. Calculated Hf model ages of crust formation are indicative of substantial contributions from melting of Proterozoic crust that ranges in age from 1501 to 1155 Ma. The granite contains high concentrations of Si, Al, Na, and K, is enriched in Rb, Th, and U, has elevated Rb/Sr and Ga/Al ratios, and is depleted in Ti, Fe, Mn, Mg, Ca, and P, with significantly negative Eu anomalies (δEu = 0.33–0.50), similar to other highly fractionated I-type granites. These data indicate that the magmas that formed the Liyuantang pluton were produced during partial melting of Proterozoic garnet-absent quartz amphibolites. The magmas then fractionated apatite, feldspar, Ti-bearing phases, biotite, and hornblende prior to emplacement.Re–Os isotope analysis of molybdenite from the study area yields a mineralization age of 200.9 ± 6.2 Ma, suggesting that the Liyuantang molybdenum deposit formed during a previously unrecognized mineralization event. The present results, together with previous data, demonstrate that highly fractionated I-type granites associated with the second pulse of magmatism in the South Qinling subzone should be considered highly prospective for mineral exploration, focusing on Triassic–Early Jurassic granitoids.  相似文献   

Magmatic expression of tectonic transition from oceanic subduction to continental collision: Insights from the Middle Triassic rhyolites of the North Qiangtang Block     

《Gondwana Research》2020

The tectonic transition from subduction to collision is a fundamental process during orogenesis, yet the magmatic expression of this transition and related deep geodynamic processes remain unclear. This study focuses on a newly identified volcanic belt within the Moyun–Zaduo–Sulu area of the North Qiangtang Block and presents new zircon U-Pb data that indicate that this belt formed during the Middle Triassic (247–241 Ma), a time characterized by a regional transition from subduction to collisional tectonism. The volcanic belt is located to the south of a Permian to Early Triassic arc and is dominated by high-K calc-alkaline and peraluminous rhyolites. These rhyolites have low Mg^#, Nb/Ta, and δEu values, contain low contents of Sr, have high Rb/Sr and whole-rock ε_Nd(t) values, and show positive zircon ε_Hf(t) values, all of which suggest that they formed from magmas generated by the dehydration melting of juvenile crustal material. The migration of Middle Triassic volcanism in this region was most likely caused by rollback of the subducting Longmucuo–Shuanghu Tethyan oceanic slab. Combining our new data with previously published results of numerical modeling of subduction–collisional processes and regional data from north-central Tibet yields insights into the magmatic expressions and related deep geodynamics of the transition from oceanic subduction to continental collision. This combination of data also suggests that variations in oxygen fugacity can be used as a proxy for the discrimination of magmatism related to subduction, the transition from subduction to collision, and collisional tectonism.  相似文献   

Thorium-poor monazite and columbite-(Fe) mineralization in the Gleibat Lafhouda carbonatite and its associated iron-oxide-apatite deposit of the Ouled Dlim Massif,South Morocco     

《Gondwana Research》2020

Recent exploration work in South Morocco revealed the occurrence of several carbonatite bodies, including the Paleoproterozoic Gleibat Lafhouda magnesiocarbonatite and its associated iron oxide mineralization, recognized here as iron-oxide-apatite (IOA) deposit type. The Gleibat Lafhouda intrusion is hosted by Archean gneiss and schist and not visibly associated with alkaline rocks. Metasomatized micaceous rocks occur locally at the margins of the carbonatite outcrop and were identified as glimmerite fenite type. Rare earth element (REE) and Nb mineralization is mainly linked to the associated IOA mineralization and is represented by monazite-(Ce) and columbite-(Fe) as major ore minerals. The IOA mineralization mainly consists of magnetite and hematite that usually contain large apatite crystals, quartz and some dolomite. Monazite-(Ce) is closely associated with fluorapatite and occurs as inclusions within the altered parts of apatite and along cracks or as separate phases near apatite. Monazite shows no zonation patterns and very low Th contents (<0.4 wt%), which would be beneficial for commercial extraction of the REE and which indicates monazite formation from apatite as a result of hydrothermal volatile-rich fluids. Similar monazite-apatite mineralization and chemistry also occurs at depth within the carbonatite, although the outcropping carbonatite is barren, suggesting an irregular REE ore distribution within the carbonatite body. The barren carbonatite contains some tiny unidentified secondary Nb-Ta-U phases, synchysite and monazite. Niobium mineralization is commonly represented by anhedral minerals of columbite-(Fe) which occur closely associated with magnetite-hematite and host up to 78 wt% Nb₂O₅, 7 wt% Ta₂O₅ and 1.6 wt% Sc₂O₃. This association may suggest that columbite-(Fe) precipitated by an interaction of Nb-rich fluids with pre-existing Fe-rich minerals or as pseudomorphs after pre-existing Nb minerals like pyrochlore. Our results most strongly suggest that the studied mineralization is economically important and warrants both, further research and exploration with the ultimate goal of mineral extraction.  相似文献

Genesis of S-type Granites in the Pengshan Sn-polymetallic Ore Field, Northern Jiangxi Province and its Implications     

YIN Qingqing  XIANG Xinkui  YU Zhendong  YANG Xiufeng  WANG Tianchen  ZHONG Bo  TAN Rong  LIAO Jianhai  ZHU Yuansong 《《地质学报》英文版》2020,94(6):1860-1873

The Pengshan Sn-polymetallic ore field is located in the southeastern part of the Yangtze block, spanning the southeast edge of the MLYDZ and the northern edge of the mid-segment of the Jiangnan Uplift, and on one side of the MLYDZ. The studies of LA–ICP–MS zircon U–Pb chronology and petrogeochemistry for Early Cretaceous acid granites from the Pengshan ore field were carried out in this paper. We report zircon U–Pb geochronology and whole-rock geochemistry for acid granites in the Pengshan ore field. The zircon U–Pb ages of the muscovite-granite, biotite adamellite and granite-porphyry are 127.6 ± 1.7 Ma, 126.9 ± 1.6 Ma and 126.6 ± 2.0 Ma, respectively. The granites in Pengshan are characterized by a high silicon content and are rich in alkali. They belong to high-potassium, calc-alkaline, peraluminous granite. The rocks have a relatively high Rb/Ba ratio, and the data points for muscovite-granite and biotite adamellite all fall within the clay-rich sources region, near the pelite-derived end-member, showing that the Pengshan muscovite-granite and biotite adamellite mainly originated from the partial melting of metapelites with high maturity. The transformation of the compressional and extensional tectonics in this region approximately 128 Ma obviously lags behind that in the mid-segment of the Jiangnan Uplift (135 Ma), but occurred earlier than the MLYDZ (126 Ma). The Pengshan ore field extends from the mid-segment of the Jiangnan Uplift to the MLYDZ. Although the tectonic stress field is constrained by the combination of the two secondary tectonic units, the time of tectonic system transformation is closer to the MLYDZ because the spatial orientation of the area is enclosed in the MLYDZ. Relevant geophysical and drilling data confirm the rationality of Pengshan–Ao’xia as a multi-center vertical zoning ore field, and show the scientificity of the prospecting idea of abutting joint between the north-west of Pengshan area and the south-east of Ao’xia area.  相似文献

李科  张琳  刘福亮  贾艳琨 《岩矿测试》2020,39(5):753-761

实验室和研究人员所使用的碳、氮同位素标准物质一般由国际原子能机构(IAEA)获得,然而近年来,随着碳氮同位素在实验室质量监控、方法评价、仪器校准等方面的广泛应用,市场需求量不断增加, IAEA研制的碳、氮同位素标准物质的种类与数量逐渐不能满足科学研究快速发展的需求。我国急需研制适应当今分析技术水平的有机质碳氮同位素国家标准物质用以进行质量监控、方法评价、仪器校准。为保证量值传递精度,本文研制了4个有机化学物质的碳氮稳定同位素标准物质,其中3个为尿素样品,1个为L-谷氨酸。经检验4种标准物质的均匀性通过F值检验,标准物质的δ~(13)C和δ~(15)N值经过一年的稳定性检验,特征量值变化在测量方法允许的不确定度范围内,由此判定δ~(13)C和δ~(15)N值稳定性良好。由包括研制单位实验室在内的12家实验室协同定值,采用高温燃烧-气体同位素质谱法测定了δ~(13)C和δ~(15)N值,系列标准物质δ~(13)C和δ~(15)N认定值区间呈梯度分布,δ~(13)C值为-40‰～0‰,δ~(15)N值为-10‰～30‰,涵盖了我国天然样品中有机质碳氮稳定同位素组成范围;研制的系列标准物质δ~(13)C的定值扩展不确定度不大于0.08‰,δ~(15)N的定值扩展不确定度不大于0.09‰,定值水平与国际标准物质相当。该系列标准物质已被国家质检总局批准为国家一级标准物质,批准号为GBW04494～GBW04497。可被用于地质、生态、环境等多种样品δ~(13)C和δ~(15)N比值测定时的分析监控、仪器校准、方法评价、质量保证和质量监控。  相似文献   

白垩系膏岩层序对铅锌矿床形成的贡献——以云南兰坪金顶超大型铅锌矿床云龙组为例     

曾招阳  薛传东  刘靖坤 《地球学报》2020,41(5):723-738

通过野外地质观察, 结合勘探资料和前人研究, 本次用K-Ar法对兰坪盆地金顶超大型铅锌矿床云龙组中的伊利石开展测年研究, 并分析典型勘探线剖面的主要围岩、矿体及矿石结构构造特点, 论述了矿区膏岩层序可能的时代及其在成矿过程中的作用和方式, 形成如下初步认识: 金顶铅锌矿区云龙组中黏土矿物伊利石的K-Ar法年龄为(105.7±1.4) Ma, 与前人测得地层中黄铁矿Re-Os等时线年龄(114±13) Ma相近, 表明该套膏岩层序的地层时代为白垩纪阿尔布期(Albian); 膏盐岩呈似层状、透镜状、角砾状赋存于云龙组中上部, 经后期成矿作用改造而形成呈似层状、角砾状、不规则状产出的铅锌矿体, 并常与膏盐岩共存; 铅锌矿体的就位空间既包括原膏岩层序的空间位置, 也包括高孔隙度的景星组砂岩; 巨量的云龙组膏盐岩在成矿过程中通过硫酸盐还原提供丰富的硫, 使铅锌矿床达到超大型规模。因此, 巨量膏岩层的消耗是金顶矿床巨量金属得以富集成矿的关键因素之一, 这对特提斯造山带含膏岩层序内寻找类似矿床具有普遍意义。同时, 该类膏岩层序的对比研究, 对于“金顶式”的MVT型铅锌矿床的区域找矿潜力评判也具有重要的指示价值。  相似文献
