Extreme Cr-rich nano-oxides in the CI chondrite Orgueil - Implication for a late supernova injection into the solar system

Systematic variations in ⁵⁴Cr/⁵²Cr ratios between meteorite classes ( [Trinquier et al., 2007] and [Qin et al., 2010a]) point to large scale spatial and/or temporal isotopic heterogeneity in the solar protoplanetary disk. Two explanations for these variations have been proposed, with important implications for the formation of the Solar System: heterogeneous seeding of the disk with dust from a supernova, or energetic-particle irradiation of dust in the disk. The key to differentiating between them is identification of the carrier(s) of the ⁵⁴Cr anomalies. Here we report the results of our recent NanoSIMS imaging search for the ⁵⁴Cr-rich carrier in the acid-resistant residue of the CI chondrite Orgueil. A total of 10 regions with extreme ⁵⁴Cr-excesses (δ⁵⁴Cr values up to 1500‰) were found. Comparison between SEM, Auger and NanoSIMS analyses showed that these ⁵⁴Cr-rich regions are associated with one or more sub-micron (typically less than 200 nm) Cr oxide grains, most likely spinels. Because the size of the NanoSIMS primary O⁻ ion beam is larger than the typical grain size on the sample mount, the measured anomalies are lower limits, and we estimate that the actual ⁵⁴Cr enrichments in three grains are at least 11 times Solar and in one of these may be as high as 50 times Solar. Such compositions strongly favor a Type II supernova origin. The variability in bulk ⁵⁴Cr/⁵²Cr between meteorite classes argues for a heterogeneous distribution of the ⁵⁴Cr carrier in the solar protoplanetary disk following a late supernova injection event. Such a scenario is also supported by the O-isotopic distribution and variable abundances in different planetary materials of other presolar oxide and silicate grains from supernovae.  相似文献   

Variation in n-alkane δD values from terrestrial plants at high latitude: Implications for paleoclimate reconstruction     

Hong Yang  Weiguo Liu  Qin Leng  Michael T. Hren  Mark Pagani 《Organic Geochemistry》2011,42(3):283-288

The molecular hydrogen isotope composition (δD) of leaf waxes from terrestrial plants is increasingly used to infer hydrological characteristics of ancient high latitude climates. Analysis of the hydrogen isotope composition of n-alkanes (δD_n-alkane) from a global dataset of individual plants growing at low and middle latitudes indicates that plant ecological life form is an important factor in determining the hydrogen isotope fractionation. However, environmental and biological controls of high latitudinal leaf wax δD values are poorly understood because of a lack of δD records from modern flora in these regions. We previously noticed smaller apparent hydrogen isotope fractionations between n-alkanes and environmental water (ε_alk-water) in deciduous trees growing at high latitudes (>59°N; Liu, W.-G., Yang, H., 2008. Multiple controls for the variability of hydrogen isotopic compositions in higher plant n-alkanes from modern ecosystems. Global Change Biology 14, 2166-2177.) To further examine these issues, we measured δD_n-alkane from a variety of plants that inhabit high latitude environments and added critically needed leaf wax δD data from grass and herbs to the existing global δD_n-alkane database. Inclusion of these new data with the existing global dataset (n = 408) confirms plant ecological life form as an important control for leaf wax δD variation for terrestrial plants living at high latitudes. Our results suggest that, while precipitation δD is captured in these high latitude plants, physiological characters such as leaf area, venation pattern and hydraulic system, that enhance transpiration rate during summer growth, may impart δD_n-alkane differences among plants with different ecological life forms.  相似文献

本文对福建沿海福清地区的锦城花岗岩和牛头尾花岗闪长岩进行了岩石地球化学、锆石U-Pb-Hf同位素分析.LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年结果显示锦城花岗岩的年龄为187±1Ma,为福建沿海首次发现的早侏罗世岩浆活动;牛头尾花岗岩形成时代为130±1Ma,代表燕山晚期(白垩纪)的一期岩浆活动.锦城花岗岩具有高5iO2、偏碱、高Fe2OT3等特征,为高钾钙碱性系列,岩石相对富集轻稀土,亏损Nb、Ta、Ti等高场强元素,富集Ba、Sr等大离子亲石元素,具高Rb/Sr( 1.31 ～ 1.93)比值及低Rb/Ba(0.26 ～0.29)、Eu/Eu*(0.30 ～0.56)、La/Yb(5.69 ～ 18.39),Sr/Y(2.24 ～2.29)比值,为典型的Ⅰ型花岗岩,且具有火山孤花岗岩的地球化学特征,很可能形成于与俯冲相关的构造背景.牛头尾花岗岩相比锦城花岗岩低SiO2,贫钾,而富镁、钙,属于花岗闪长岩.其更亏损Nb、Ta及富集Ba、Sr,具较低Rb/Sr(0.27)、Rb/Ba(0.09)比值和较高的Eu/Eu*(0.98)、La/Yb( 16.87),Sr/Y( 19.08)比值,同样为具有弧特征的钙碱性Ⅰ型花岗岩,也形成于与大洋俯冲有关的构造背景.锦城花岗岩和年头尾花岗闪长岩具有相似的锆石Hf同位素组成,εHf(t)分别为2.18～4.73和1.25 ～4.15,tDMC均为～ 1.0Ga,表明二者起源于相同的新元古代新生地壳.结合已有的资料,本次研究发现锦城花岗岩与南岭地区同时代岩浆岩( 194 ～ 172Ma)在成因上有密切的联系,暗示古太平洋板决的俯冲很可能自早侏罗世开始.这样,华南古特提斯构造域向古太平洋构造域的转换很可能发生在早侏罗世之前,大致在205 ～ 190Ma期间.  相似文献

合成层状结构的酸性和碱性水钠锰矿以及隧道结构的锰钾矿和钙锰矿,将其用于苯酚的光催化降解研究。分别采用X射线衍射(XRD)、原子吸收光谱(AAS)、扫描电镜(SEM)、BET氮气吸附法和紫外可见漫反射光谱(UV-Vis DRS)对供试锰氧化物的晶体结构、化学组成、微观形貌、比表面积以及光吸收性能等进行了表征。研究表明,暗反应条件锰氧化物对苯酚的降解作用较弱,而UV-Vis光照能显著促进锰氧化物对苯酚的降解。光照反应12 h后,锰钾矿、酸性水钠锰矿、钙锰矿以及碱性水钠锰矿的苯酚降解率分别为92.1%、77.3%、57.4%和45.8%;对应的TOC去除率分别由暗反应时的6.3%、11.2%、2.0%和4.6%提高至62.1%、43.1%、25.4%和22.5%。4种供试锰氧化物均具有光催化活性,其大小顺序为:锰钾矿>酸性水钠锰矿>钙锰矿>碱性水钠锰矿。UV-Vis光照下氧化锰矿物光化学降解苯酚主要存在3种降解机制———苯酚的直接光解,锰氧化物的化学氧化和锰氧化物的光化学催化,其中光催化降解起主导作用。  相似文献

李勤  李庆春 《物探与化探》2011,35(2):270-273

转换波的时距曲线是非双曲线方程,由于介质的各向异性,使得转换波在实际地层中的传播更为复杂。针对各向异性介质中PSV转换波的速度分析展开讨论,鉴于各向异性介质的PSV波速度分析不能脱离PP波数据而单独进行,在学习前人研究成果的基础上,充分利用PP波速度分析的有效信息,对PSV转换波进行逐层单参数分析,在一定程度上简化了速度分析的程序,提高了速度分析的精度,并通过理论模型试算,验证了方法的正确性和可行性。  相似文献

Sustainable yield of a karst aquifer system: a case study of Jinan springs in northern China   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

Fengxin Kang  Menggui Jin  Pinrui Qin 《Hydrogeology Journal》2011,19(4):851-863

Based on the long-term monitoring data of rainfall, groundwater levels, groundwater abstraction, spring flow rates and groundwater quality, an assessment has been undertaken of the sustainable yield of a karst aquifer system in Shandong Province, northern China, to maintain perennial outflow of the karst springs while meeting water demands. One of the fundamental indicators for sustainable yield of groundwater is identified as maximum allowable water-level drawdown. A regional three-dimensional finite-difference numerical model has been developed to optimize the schemes associated with well fields and their locations and sustainable yields, in the Jinan spring catchment and its adjacent karst groundwater catchments, with the aim of maintaining the water level higher than the allowable lowest water level of 27.5?m above sea level. Furthermore, measures necessary to move towards sustainable use of the karst groundwater are outlined, drawing on contingency plans of water-source replacement and artificial recharge, dual water supply (based in water quality), use of the spring waters themselves, and groundwater quality protection.  相似文献

An application of a new method in permafrost environment assessment of Muli mining area in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau,China   总被引：3，自引：2，他引：1  

Wei Cao  Yu Sheng  Yinghong Qin  Jing Li  Jichun Wu 《Environmental Earth Sciences》2011,63(3):609-616

The permafrost environment in the Muli mining area, an opencast mining site in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China, is now undergoing significant degradation because of the ongoing mining activities. The permafrost environment in this mining site had already been evaluated by previous study, in which analytic hierarchy process was applied. Although this method can roughly characterize the permafrost environment of this mining site, it has limitations by being easily affected by man-made factors. In view of this limitation, this study attempts to employ a new method, the catastrophe progression method, to estimate the current stage of the permafrost environment in this mining area. The results show that, by catastrophe progression method, currently the calculated indexes of the permafrost freezing–thawing disintegration, permafrost thermal stability, permafrost ecological fragility, and the permafrost environment are 0.43 (general situation), 0.77 (general situation), 0.71 (bad situation) and 0.83 (general situation), respectively. These values imply that the permafrost environment has been damaged by anthropologic activities to a certain degree and potentially may be further degenerated. However, at this degree, a new equilibrium stage of permafrost environment could be achieved if the current state of environmental degradation is stabilized and treatments are constructed against further damages.  相似文献
