As the two important components of shale, organic matter(OM) and clay minerals are usually thought to strongly influence the hydrocarbon generation, enrichment and exploitation. The evolution process of OM and clay minerals as well as their interrelationship over a wide range of thermal maturities are not completely clear. Taking Yanchang(T_3y), Longmaxi(S_1l) and Niutitang(?_1n) shales as examples, we have studied the microstructure characteristics of OM and clay minerals in shales with different thermal maturities. The effects of clay minerals and OM on pores were reinforced through sedimentation experiments. Using a combination of field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM) and low-pressure N_2 adsorption, we investigated the microstructure differences among the three shales. The results showed that both OM and clay minerals have strong effects on pores, and small mesopore(2–20 nm) is the dominant pore component for all three samples. However, the differences between the three samples are embodied in the distribution of pore size and the location. For the T_3y shale, clay minerals are loosely arranged and develop large amounts of pores, and fine OM grains often fill in intergranular minerals or fractures. Widespread OM pores distribute irregularly in S_1l shale, and most of the pores are elliptical and nondirectional. The ?_1n shale is characterized by the preferred orientational OM-clay aggregates, and lots of pores in the composites are in the mesopore range, suggesting that over maturity lead to the collapse and compaction of pores under huge pressure of strata. The results of the current research imply that with increasing thermal maturity, OM pores are absent at low maturity(T_3y), are maximized at high maturity(S_1l) and are destroyed or compacted at over-mature stage(?_1n). Meanwhile, clay minerals have gone through mineral transformation and orientational evolution. The interaction of the two processes makes a significant difference to the microstructure evolution of OM and clay minerals in shale, and the findings provide scientific foundation in better understanding diagenetic evolution and hydrocarbon generation of shale.  相似文献   

沉积碳酸锰矿床研究进展及有待深入探讨的若干问题   总被引：4，自引：1，他引：3

表生环境中存在2种机制可以形成碳酸锰矿物:①从缺氧海水中直接沉淀;②先在氧化海水中形成锰氧化物,随后在埋藏过程中通过成岩作用转化为碳酸锰。目前,主流观点认为只有通过第二种机制才可以形成碳酸锰矿床,并在此基础上提出了极端地质事件(如大氧化事件、雪球事件)、闭塞盆地、最小含氧带扩张等成矿模型,近年来同时强调微生物活动、底层水氧化持续时间在成矿中发挥关键作用。沉积碳酸锰成矿不仅与古大气组分、古海洋状态、初级生产力、海底热液活动等多个圈层的耦合作用关系密切,同时也会影响多种生命元素(C、N、S、P等)和氧化还原敏感元素(U、V、Mo、Tl等)的表生循环,因此富碳酸锰的沉积岩是探讨古环境及海洋元素循环的重要载体。目前在沉积碳酸锰成矿理论方面有待深入探讨的问题包括:①碳酸锰直接沉淀成矿的可能性与有效性;②锰质来源与铁锰分离机制的识别;③主要控矿因素的识别及其时空演化规律;④矿石矿物组合及矿床地球化学对成岩精细过程的制约。  相似文献

Aggregate disintegration is a critical process in soil splash erosion. However, the effect of soil organic carbon (SOC) and its fractions on soil aggregates disintegration is still not clear. In this study, five soils with similar clay contents and different contents of SOC have been used. The effects of slaking and mechanical striking on splash erosion were distinguished by using deionized water and 95% ethanol as raindrops. The simulated rainfall experiments were carried out in four heights (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 m). The result indicated that the soil aggregate stability increased with the increases of SOC and light fraction organic carbon (LFOC). The relative slaking and the mechanical striking index increased with the decreases of SOC and LFOC. The reduction of macroaggregates in eroded soil gradually decreased with the increase of SOC and LFOC, especially in alcohol test. The amount of macroaggregates (>0.25 mm) in deionized water tests were significantly less than that in alcohol tests under the same rainfall heights. The contribution of slaking to splash erosion increased with the decrease of heavy fractions organic carbon. The contribution of mechanical striking was dominant when the rainfall kinetic energy increased to a range of threshold between 9 J m⁻² mm⁻¹ and 12 m⁻² mm⁻¹. This study could provide the scientific basis for deeply understanding the mechanism of soil aggregates disintegration and splash erosion.  相似文献

Pre‐ and post‐impoundment nitrogen in the lower Missouri River          下载免费PDF全文

Large water‐sample sets collected from 1899 through 1902, 1907, and in the early 1950s allow comparisons of pre‐impoundment and post‐impoundment (1969 through 2008) nitrogen concentrations in the lower Missouri River. Although urban wastes were not large enough to detectably increase annual loads of total nitrogen at the beginning of the 20^th century, carcass waste, stock‐yard manure, and untreated human wastes measurably increased ammonia and organic‐nitrogen concentrations during low flows. Average total‐nitrogen concentrations in both periods were about 2.5 mg/l, but much of the particulate‐organic nitrogen, which was the dominant form of nitrogen around 1900, has been replaced by nitrate. This change in speciation was caused by the nearly 80% decrease in suspended‐sediment concentrations that occurred after impoundment, modern agriculture, drainage of riparian wetlands, and sewage treatment. Nevertheless, bioavailable nitrogen has not been low enough to limit primary production in the Missouri River since the beginning of the 20^th century. Nitrate concentrations have increased more rapidly from 2000 through 2008 (5 to 12% per year), thus increasing bioavailable nitrogen delivered to the Mississippi River and affecting Gulf Coast hypoxia. The increase in nitrate concentrations with distance downstream is much greater during the post‐impoundment period. If strategies to decrease total‐nitrogen loads focus on particulate N, substantial decreases will be difficult because particulate nitrogen is now only 23% of total nitrogen in the Missouri River. A strategy aimed at decreasing particulates also could further exacerbate land loss along the Gulf of Mexico, which has been sediment starved since Missouri River impoundment. In contrast, strategies or benchmarks aimed at decreasing nitrate loads could substantially decrease nitrogen loadings because nitrates now constitute over half of the Missouri's nitrogen input to the Mississippi. Ongoing restoration and creation of wetlands along the Missouri River could be part of such a nitrate‐reduction strategy. Published 2013.

气相色谱-三重四极杆质谱法测定地下水中44种有机物污染物     

余蕾  张小毅 《岩矿测试》2021,(3):365-374

地下水中有机氯、多环芳烃、邻苯二甲酸酯等半挥发性有机污染物对生态环境和人体健康带来潜在威胁,开发高效、准确、快速的检测方法具有现实意义。通过液液萃取、固相萃取等方式将水中有机污染物分类萃取,利用气相色谱、气相色谱-质谱、液相色谱-质谱等方法测定,不能在满足低检出限的同时测定多种类别有机污染物。本文建立了一种改进的QuECHERS方法,即在水样中加入少量有机溶剂振荡后直接取有机相,无需净化,利用灵敏度更高的气相色谱-三重四极杆质谱仪多反应监测模式(MRM)进行定性、内标法定量,实现了44种有机污染物的同时测定。实验优化了质谱条件,对比了不同溶剂的提取效果以及传统方法和QuECHERS的优缺点。结果表明:44种有机物在1～200μg/L范围内线性关系良好,各有机物的检出限和回收率均满足要求。本方法具有前处理简单、检出限低、邻苯二甲酸酯类本底低、多类有机物同时测定等优点,可应用于地下水中痕量有机物的测定和评估。  相似文献
