摘    要:东太结核主要为半埋藏和埋藏型,发育于以黏土和硅质组分为主的沉积环境。东太结核的锰相矿物主要有水羟锰矿和钡镁锰矿,具有较高的REY、Cu、Ni含量和Mn/Fe比值,显示遭受间隙水的影响,落入水成成因和成岩成因两个区间范围。西太结核主体暴露在海水中,周围沉积物主要由深海黏土组成。西太结核的锰相矿物几乎只有水羟锰矿,具有较高的REY、Co含量和低Mn/Fe比值,属于典型的水成成因型。两个区域的多金属结核的稀土北美页岩标准化模式均显示Ce正异常、Y负异常和无或弱Eu异常,与海水稀土特征构成良好的耦合关系,是多金属结核对海水稀土选择性富集的结果。西太结核相对东太结核具有更高的Ce含量和δCe,Co、Ti与Ce具有良好的正相关关系。研究认为海水中溶解氧并不一定是控制结核Ce正异常程度的关键因素,Co、Ti等元素及其相关组分能够引起Ce与其他稀土元素的强烈分馏,也可能是影响多金属结核Ce正异常程度的控制因素。研究区多金属结核和富钴结壳表层样的εNd范围为-6.6~-2.5,是全球最富放射性成因Nd的海洋铁锰壳层。结合稀土模式以及Eu异常特征,本研究认为多金属结核的稀土主要来自εNd相对较高的周围陆壳,可以通过河流或者大气沉降等方式输送到大洋,而研究区广泛分布的海山玄武岩释放的放射性成因Nd同位素对海水的影响微弱。

关 键 词:多金属结核  富钴结壳  稀土元素  西太平洋海山区  CC区

Abstract:The polymetallic nodules in China’s polymetallic nodules exploration contract area in the East Pacific Basin (EP nodules) are largely buried or semi-buried in a sedimentary environment dominated by clay and siliceous components. The manganese mineral phases of the EP nodules mainly include vernadite and todorokite, with high REY and high Cu and Ni contents and Mn/Fe ratio. These characteristics indicate the nodules are affected by interstitial water thus falling into the range of diagenesis and hydrogenesis. In comparison, the polymetallic nodules in the Northwest Pacific Basin (WP nodules) are mostly exposed to seawater, and the surrounding sediments are mainly deep-sea clay. The manganese mineral phases of the WP nodules are almost all vernadite, with high REY, high Co content and low Mn/Fe ratio. It shows that the WP nodules are of typical hydrogenic form. The NASC-normalized REY patterns of the polymetallic nodules in both regions show positive Ce and negative Y anomalies and no/weak Eu anomaly, while the REY patterns of ambient seawater show obvious negative Ce and positive Y anomalies and no obvious Eu anomaly. This inverse coupling relationship implies that the REY patterns of the polymetallic nodules are the result of selective enrichment from seawater. The WP nodules have higher Ce content and δCe than the EP nodules. Both Co and Ti correlate positively with Ce, which may collectively affect the selection of Ce and Y in seawater by polymetallic nodules. In this study, dissolved oxygen in seawater was not a factor controlling the level of positive Ce anomaly observed in the polymetallic nodules. Rather, elements such as Co and Ti and their related components can cause strong fractionation of Ce and other REY, which may be the controlling factor. The surface samples of polymetallic nodules and cobalt-rich crusts in the study area, with εNd values ranging from -6.6 to -2.5, represent the most radioactive ferromanganese samples of Nd in the global sea area. Combining the εNd result with REY patterns and Eu anomaly, we suggest that REY in polymetallic nodules mainly come from the surrounding continental crust with relatively high εNd and can be transported to the ocean via rivers or atmospheric deposition. However, the radioactive Nd isotopes released from basalt in the Northwest Pacific Basin have only weak effect on the seawater.
