Epigenetic hydrothermal origin of native copper and supergene enrichment in the Vista Alegre district,Paraná basaltic province,southernmost Brazil     

《International Geology Review》2012,54(10):1163-1179

Native copper is widespread in the Lower Cretaceous Paraná basaltic province, southern Brazil, both as films in fractures and as massive balls in amygdules. The focus of this investigation is on the large concentration of occurrences (n = 85) that forms the Vista Alegre district in the border region of Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina states. The high average of 220 ppm Cu content of the basalts resulted in ore of native copper, Cu oxides, abundant chrysocolla in the top of mineralizations, and minor malachite and azurite. Native copper is associated with dioctahedral and trioctahedral smectites, zeolites (heulandite and clinoptilonite), quartz, and calcite, typical of a low-T (100–150°C) hydrothermal alteration assembly. The PGE distribution shows enrichment in Pd in relation to Pt both in basalts and in native copper, supporting the hypothesis of hydrothermal origin of the mineralization. No evidence was found of direct precipitation of copper from the lava; based on field and petrographic evidence, integrated with BSE images, EPMA analyses, EGP contents of native copper, and bulk rock analyses, this is an epigenetic hydrothermal copper mineralization, followed by supergene enrichment.  相似文献   

Discovery of native aluminum and its possible origin from prospective gas hydrate areas in the South China Sea

Aluminum is an active amphoteric metal element, but native aluminum (Al°) can be formed and preserved in special condi- tions so that its occurrence has unique geological significance. In this paper, the coarse fractions ( 63 μm) of 269 samples of surface sediments and of 165 sediment samples in four cores from the South China Sea (SCS) were picked out and analyzed. Al° particles were found in only five surface samples and three samples in two sedimentary cores. The particles are grayish or silver white in color with a strongly metallic luster and high plasticity, and they occur as irregular plats, elongated shapes and spherules with botryoidal structures. The identified Al° particles belong to cubical system, Fm3m space group with a varying from 4.028×10?1 nm to 4.059×10?1 nm. Their chemical compositions consist mainly of Al (95.07%–99.84%) and minor amounts of Si, Fe, Ti, S, Zn, Mg, Ca and trace amounts of K, Na, Cu, Co, P and Mn. Our results show that the identified Al° is authigenic, formed in situ in the prospective areas of gas hydrates, and that it is an unreported type of Al° occurrence. A possi- ble mechanism of Al° formation is proposed: under the strongly reducing micro environments at cold seeps, dissolved Al3+ in sediments is reduced to its metallic state by the strongly reducing agent of H2 through microbial processes and enzyme action. As a result, the Al° particles from the prospective gas hydrate areas in the SCS are the special products, representing the first report on Al° from the sediments at cold seeps. The proposed mechanism provides a theoretical basis for further studies on the special biogeochemical processes at cold seeps.  相似文献   

Assessment of diversity, distribution, conservation status and preparation of management plan for medicinal plants in the catchment area of parbati hydroelectric project stage — III in Northwestern Himalaya   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0

The developmental activities, particularly the construction of hydroelectric projects are causing a great loss of biodiversity in the Indian Himalayan Region. The Himachal Pradesh, a part of IHR is well known for the development of hydroelectric projects. The Parbati H.E. Project is amongst the major projects of the State. The different stages of the project are all causing loss of biodiversity of the area. Stage III of the Parbati H.E. Project is a run of the river scheme on the Sainj River downstream of Power House of Parbati H.E. Project Stage II. The project shall utilize regulated discharge of Parbati H.E. Project Stage II and inflow of River Sainj for power generation, and has been contemplated as a peaking station operating in tandem with Stage II. The present study has been undertaken to see the impact of hydroelectric project on the biodiversity, particularly on medicinal plants. A total of 104 species of medicinal plants, belonging to different life forms, i.e., trees (23 spp.), shrubs (22 spp.), herbs (57 spp.) and ferns (2 spp.) were recorded. The species have been analyzed and studied for their distribution, classification, altitudinal zones, part (s) used, indigenous uses, nativity, endemism and rarity. DDifferent parts of these species, such as whole plants, roots (including rhizomes and tubers), leaves, flowers, fruits, seeds, stems, barks, spikes, nuts and insect galls are used by the inhabitants for curing various diseases and ailments. 30 species are native to the Himalayan region, 9 species native to the Himalayan region and adjacent countries also and 65 species are non-natives. 9 species are near endemics. Considering the whole Himalaya as a biogeographic unit (sensu lato), the near endemics are endemic to the Himalaya. Among these species, Zanthoxylum armatum is categorized as Endangered and Valeriana wallichii as Vulnerable. Hedychium spicatum, Rhus javanica, Berberis lycium, Thalictrum foliolossum, Salvia lanata, Rubia cordifolia and Bergenia ligulata may be considered as threatened species due to their over exploitation for trade. 90 species are propagated by seeds, 8 species by seeds and rhizomes/roots/tubers, 4 species by seeds and cuttings, and 2 species by sori. A management plan for the cultivation and conservation of the medicinal plants in the dam submergence area, and the commercially viable medicinal plants with high value in the catchment area is suggested.  相似文献   

Nutrient compositions of cultured Thalassiosira rotula and Skeletonema costatum from the Jiaozhou Bay in China     

SHEN Zhiliang  WU Yulin  LIU Qun  YAO Yun 《海洋学报(英文版)》2008,27(4):147-155

Carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon composition of cultured two different sized phytoplankton common species of Thalazsiosira rotula and Skeletonema costatum from the Jiaozhou Bay were measured. Carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, silicon contents in cell were obvious higher in T. rotula than in S. costatum, but the percents of nitrogen, phosphorus, sihcon contents in cell dry mass in T. rotula were lower than those in S. costatum. The dry mass concentrations of nitrogen,phosphorus, silicon in S. costatum were much higher than those in T. rotula, particularly silicon, the former was 6. 4 times of the latter, showing that S. costatum could more assimilate these elements. Especially, S. costatum had competitive dominance for assimilating silicon, which is beneficial to its becoming a major dominant species in relative short silicon of the Jiaozhou Bay. There were some differences in numerical value of nutrient ratios both laboratory-cultured phytoplankton and different sized suspended particulates （ mainly phytoplankton） in the Jiaozhou Bay, which was caused by the changes of environment. High contents of carbon, nitrogon and relative low phosporus, sil- icon, high molar ratio of nitrogen to phosphorus （far higher than Redfield value） and low ratio of silicon to phosphorus and silicon to nitrogen （far lower than Redfield values） in the two diatoms and different sized suspended particulates were consistent with those in the seawater. Relative short silicon in the seawater and phytoplankton showed that silicon was possibly affectting phytoplankton growth in the Jiaozhou Bay.  相似文献   

Diversity, Distribution and Prioritization of Fodder Species for Conservation in Kullu District, Northwestern Himalaya, India     

S. S. Samant Man Singh Manohar Lal Shreekar Pant 《山地科学学报》2007,4(3):259-274

In the Indian Himalayan Region predominantly rural in character, livestock is one of the main sources of livelihood and integral part of the economy. Livestock mostly rely on fodder from wild. The diversity, distribution, utilization pattern, nativity, endemism, rarity, seasonality of availability, nutritive values, perceived economic values and pressure use index of livestock have not been studied. The present study attempts to enumerate 150 species of fodder representing trees (51 spp.), shrubs (54 spp.) and herbs (45 spp.). Poaceae (19 spp.) and Fabaceae (13 spp.) amongst families and Salix (6 spp.), Ficus, Clematis, and Desmodium (5 spp., each) amongst genera are rich in species. Maximum species were found in the 1801 ~ 2600 m zone, and the remaining two zones showed relatively low diversity. Out of the 150 species, 109 are used in summer, 5 winter and 36 throughout year. During rainy season, mostly grasses are used as fodder. Only 83 species are native to the Himalayan region, one species, Strobilanthus atropuroureus is endemic and 35 species are near endemic. The nutritive values of the fodder species were reviewed, and economic values and status of the species were also assessed. The pressure use index of the species was calculated on the basis of cumulative values of the utilization pattern, altitudinal distribution, availability, status, nativity and endemism. Amongst the species, Grewia oppositifoilia, Morus serrata, Indigofera heterantha, Quercus leucotrichphora, Ulmus villosa, U. wallichiana and Aesculus indica showed highest PUI indicating high preference and pressure. Season wise prioritization of the species for different altitudinal zones has been done. Appropriate strategy and action plan have been suggested for the conservation and management of fodder species.  相似文献

用化学平衡常数判断台湾岛东北部龟山岛附近海域海底热液活动形成自然硫的化学反应          下载免费PDF全文

刘长华  王晓媛  张春晖 《海洋科学》2007,31(2):61-64

由龟山岛热液气体推断几个可能化学反应方程式的存在,根据相关的假设条件,尽量接近于真实的龟山岛热液环境情况,通过计算、比较这些可能存在的化学反应在标况和龟山岛热液条件下的平衡常数,得出龟山岛热液活动区自然硫的形成可能反应式2H2S(g) O2(g)=2S(s) 2H2O(l)和CH4(g) SO2(g)=3S(s) 2H2O(l) CO2(g)起到了较大的作用。这与龟山岛热液活动所具有的水深浅,周围氧气含量高的事实以及采集的热液气体中含有大量CO2气体等情况十分一致。  相似文献

龟山岛热液活动区位于冲绳海槽向西延伸的部位，菲律宾海板块向欧亚板块下方俯冲在此隐没，热液活动的出现为研究该地区进一步的发展提供了契机．龟山岛热液活动产生的烟囱体高度富集自然硫，几乎没有其它矿物结晶形成，烟囱体本身呈现分层现象，自然硫的含量也是从烟囱体的外层到内层依次增高，与烟囱体颜色上表观的分层呈现良好的对应关系．我们根据这种分层现象探讨了烟囱体的成因机制和热液流体随时间的变化特征，同时根据等离子质谱（ICP-MS）和X射线衍射仪（XRF）的实验数据分析了自然硫烟囱体存在两种物质来源：热液活动区基底的安山岩和地幔，但是对于地幔物质以何种形式加入到热液流体中还需进一步研究．  相似文献
