Holocene volcanic rocks in Jingbo Lake region ? Diversity of magmatism

During the time from 5500 a to 5200 a BP more than 10 Holocene volcanoes in Jingbo Lake region erupted and the volcanic rocks covered an area of about 500 km2. Holocene volcanic rocks in Jingbo Lake region belong to the potassium?rich rocks and contain three rock types: trachybasalts, basanites and phonotephrites. Various types of magmatism formed in a small area and in a short period of time came from partial melting of potassically?metasomatised lithospheric mantle. The diversity of magmatism can be explained by that Jingbo Lake is situated in the back?arc extensional region of East Asian continent subducted by the Pacific Ocean, and potassic fluid derived from mantle wedge or dehydration of subducted slab can result in a high heterogeneity of the mantle beneath this region. Based on the pressure estimation of clinopyroxene megacrysts, we estimate that phonotephrite magma fractionally crystallize at ca. 52?54 km down the earth.     

Rare earth elements in CO2-fluid inclusions in mantle Iherzolite

Trace elements including REE (Rare Earth Elements) in fluid inclusions in lherzolite, olivine, orthopyroxene, and clinopy-roxene have been determined by heating-decrepitation and ICP-MS (Element Type Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry)method. Normalized CO₂ fluid/chondrite data show that mantle fluids are rich in REEs, especially LREEs (Light Rare Earth Ele-ments), several times or dozen times higher than mantle rocks and mantle mininerals. There are close relationships among the REE data of olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and lherzolite. Compared to the data of chemical dissolution method, it is believed that REE data obtained from heating-decrepitation and ICP-MS technique are contributed by CO₂ fluid inclusions. About 60% (mass fraction) of tiny inclusions are observed not to be decrepitated above 1000℃, so REE data obtained are only contributed by decrepi-tated inclusions. Mantle fluids rich in LREE play an important role in mantle metasomatism, partial melting and mineralization.     

Petrogenesis of Paleoproterozoic Luyashan charnockitic rocks in Shanxi Province: Constraints from Geochemistry and Nd isotope

Luyashan charnockite pluton mainly consists of monzonite, adamellite, charnockite and syenogranite, which are characterized by the enrichment of TiO2, P2O5, K2O, Zr, Nb, Y, Pb, La, Ce, Ba and a higher K2O/Na2O and depletion of MgO, CaO, Mg#, Th, U and lower Sr/Ba and Rb/Ba. The negative correlations between Zr, Nb, Ce and SiO2 are distinct from I-type granites. Iso-topically Luyashan charnockite plutons are relatively uniform in Nd isotope, displaying initial εNd(t) (-5.93 to -6.97) and Nd depleted mantle model ages (2.67 Ga to 2.78Ga). These features indicate that Luyashan charnockitic magma derived from pre-existing late Archean crustal sources and the partial melting of mafic granulites probably under exceptionally high temperature with CO2-rich fluid. The garnet is a main residual phase during the partial melting. The original dry charnockitic magma experienced crystal fractionation of pyroxene, plagioclase, apatite and ilmenite during early crystallization. The geochemical evidence suggests that the Luyashan charnockitic magma was probably generated in the post-collision thermal relaxation and uplift tectonic setting after the main collision ( - 1850 Ma) between the Eastern and Western continental blocks.     

Characteristics and evolution of ore-forming fluids of the Chongjiang copper deposit in the Gangdise porphyry copper belt,Tibet

Petrography, microthermometry, and scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive spectrometer (SEM/EDS) studies were performed on the fluid inclusions in the ore-beating quartz veins and quartz phenocrysts in the porphyry of the Chongjiang porphyry copper deposit. The analyses of the fluid inclusions indicate that the ore-forming fluids were exsolved from magma. They are near-saturated, supercritical, rich in volatile constituents, and have the capture temperature of 362-389℃ and salinities of 17.7wt%- 18.9wt% NaC1 eq. With the decreasing of temperature and pressure, the supercritical fluids were separated into a low salinity vapor phase and a high salinity liquid phase. During quartz-sericitization, the high salinity fluid boiled and separated into a low salinity vapor phase and a high salinity liquid phase. The high salinity inclusions that formed in the boiling process had daughter mineral melting temperatures higher than the homogenization temperatures of the vapor and liquid phases. The late fluids that are responsible for argillization are of lower temperature and salinity.     

Characteristics and geological significance of olivine xenocrysts in Cenozoic volcanic rocks from western Qinling

Cenozoic volcanic rocks from the Haoti, Dangchang County of the western Qinling Mountains, contain a few clearly-zoned olivines. These olivines are relatively big in grain sizes and usually have cracks or broken features. Their cores have similar compositions (Mg#=90.4-91.0) to those for the peridotitic xenoliths entrained in host volcanic rocks and their rims are close to the compositions of olivine phenocrysts (Mg#=85.5-81.9). The CaO contents in these zoned olivines are lower than 0.1%. These features demonstrate that the clearly-zoned olivines are xenocrysts and disaggregated from mantle peridotites. The zoned texture was the result of the interaction between the olivine and host magma. Available data show that the volcanic rocks would have been derived from the mantle source metasomatized by subducted hydrathermally-altered oceanic crust. The formation of these Cenozoic volcanic rocks was perhaps related to the rapid uplift of the Tibetan Plateau.     

The precipitation strengthening behavior of Cu-rich phase in Nb contained advanced Fe–Cr–Ni type austenitic heat resistant steel for USC power plant application

Copper has been used as a strengthening element in newly developed Fe–Cr–Ni type austenitic heat resistant steel for inducing Cu-rich phase precipitation to meet high temperature strength requirement for 60°C Ultra Super-Critical (USC) coal fired power plants for many years. However, the precipitation behavior and strengthening mechanism of Cu-rich phase in these advanced austenitic heat resistant steels is still unclear. In order to understand the precipitation strengthening behavior of Cu-rich phase and to promote high strength austenitic heat resistant steel development, 18Cr9 NiCuNb steel which is a Cu-added Nb contained advanced Fe–Cr–Ni type austenitic heat resistant steel has been selected for this study to be aged at 650°C till to 10,000 h. Micro-hardness and room temperature tensile test were conducted after long-time aging. SEM,TEM, HRTEM and three dimensional atom probe (3DAP) technology accompanying with thermodynamic calculation have been used to investigate the Cu-rich phase precipitation behavior during 650°C aging. The experimental results showed that Cu atoms can quickly concentrate in clusters at very early precipitation stage to form the fine nano-size Cu-rich ‘‘segregation areas’within less than 1 h at 650°C. With increasing aging time at 650°C Cu atoms continuously concentrate to Cu-rich segregation areas (clusters) and simultaneously other kinds of atoms such as Fe, Cr and Ni diffuse away from Cu-rich segregation areas to austenitic matrix, and finally to complete the transformation from Cu-rich segregation areas to Cu-rich phase. However, there is only Cu atoms concentration but not crystallographic transformation from early stage of Cu-rich clusters forming to the final Cu-rich phase formation. Even the Cu atom becomes the main composed element after 500 h aging at 650°C the Cu-rich phase still keeps coherent relationship with austenitic matrix. According the experimental results in this study, Cu-rich phase precipitation sequence which starts from the Cu atom segregation followed by the Cu diffusing from matrix to segregation areas and Fe, Cr and Ni atoms diffuse out from Cu-rich areas to matrix without crystallographic transformation is proposed. The Cu-rich phase is the most dispersed phase and contributes the most important strengthening effect among all precipitated phases (M23C6, MX and Cu-rich phase). It has been found that Cu-rich phase is very stable and still keeps in nano-size even for 10,000 h aging at 650°C. The unique precipitation strengthening of Cu-rich phase in combination with nano-size Nb-rich MX phase and grain-boundary M23C6carbide contributes excellent strengthening effect to 18Cr9 NiCuNb austenitic heat resistant steel.     

Geochemical characteristics and petrogenesis of Mesozoic basalts from the North China Craton： A case study in Fuxin, Liaoning Province

Occurrence of Cretaceous basalts in Fuxin County, Liaoning Province provides us an opportunity to understand Mesozoic mantle processes beneath the northern margin of the North China Craton (NNCC). Fuxin Jianguo basalts occur as volcanic channel phases with well-developed columnar jointings and contain few spinel lherzolite and pyroxenite xenoliths. They are poor in silica and rich in alkalis, Ti and Al, belonging to alkaline basalts. In trace element compositions, Jianguo basalts are moderately enriched in LREE and LILE, but not depleted in HFSE. They have low Sr and high Nd and Pb isotopic ratios. These geochemical characteristics suggest that Jianguo basalts originated from the depleted asthenosphere, representing an undifferentiated and uncontaminated primitive magma. Presence of these basalts indicates that the lithosphere beneath the region had thickness less than 65 km at the time of basalt eruption and was mainly composed of fertile pargasite-bearing spinel Iherzolite and plagioclase pyroxenite. The voluminous basaltic-andesitic magmatism during the early Jurassic-late Cretaceous time indicates that the commencement and accomplishment of lithosphere thinning in the NNCC was much earlier than that in the southern margin, since the mafic-intermediate volcanism only occurred at the Cretaceous time in the southern margin and the basalts with an asthenosphere isotopic signature at the Tertiary. This shows that highly spatial and temporal heterogeneity existed in the Mesozoic lithosphere evolution.     

Sm-Nd isotopic geochronology of the Yinachang Fe-Cu-REE deposit at Wuding, Yunnan Province and its genetic significance

Sm-Nd isotope systematics of ores and fluorites places precise time constraints on REE mineralization of the Yinachang Fe-Cu-REE deposit in Yunnan Province which occur in the Proterozoic Kunyan group. The ore-related fluorites contain high abundant REE, and show a strong enrichment of LREE and a positive Eu anomaly, which is in marked contrast to post-ore fluorites that are HREE enriched. The Sm-Nd isochron ages of the ores and fluorites are 1539±40 Ma and 1617±100 Ma, respectively, and calculated εNd（t） are -4.6 and -3.2. Accurate age determinations of the mineralization demonstrate that the REE mineralization took place during early Mesoproterozoic. Together with other geological evidence from the ore deposit, the primary REE-bearing ore-forming fluids are suggested to have been derived from the Enriched Mantle, and the Yinachang Fe-Cu-REE ore deposit is of volcanic exhalation- hydrothermal sedimentary origin. This study also imply that the sudden large-scale REE mineralization in the Mesoproterozoic epoch may have been induced by alkaline-rich anorogenic magmatism which occurred at marginal rifts of the continent in the Mesoproterozoic.     

Pure CO2 fluids in the Sarekoubu gold deposit at southern margin of Altai Mountains in Xinjiang, West China

Sarekoubu gold deposit occurs in metamorphosed acid volcanic rocks and volcaniclastic rocks of Devonian Kangbutiebao Formation along the southern margin of Altai Mountains in Xinjiang, West China. Pyritization, silicification and carbonatization are developed in wallrocks, and main gold mineralization stages are pyrite-quartz stage (Ⅱ)and polymetallic sulfide stage (Ⅲ). Primary fluid inclusions are often seen in main gold mineralization stages, which are almost pure CO2 liquid inclusions (Lco2) under room temperature with high densities of 0.85--1.07 g/cm^3. CO2-rich inclusions (Lco2-LH2O) and H2O-rich inclusions (LH2O-LCo2)are subordinate. Fluid inclusions in stage Ⅰ (polymetallic sulfide stage) are more complex than in stage Ⅱ, containing CO2-CH4 system with -78.1-61.9℃ of solid CO2 melting temperatures and -33.7-17.7℃ of partial homogenization temperatures. The trapping pressures of high densities are estimated to be 150-350 MPa. Laser Raman microprobe was used to confirm the composition of pure CO2 liquid inclusions. δ^13C values of CO2 inclusions range from -10.73‰ to -21.15‰, which are similar to some of fluids in the mantle-derived minerals that contain surface organic carbon by subduction recycling. These characteristics differ from many hydrothermal gold deposits. CO2 fluids have a regional source related to post-collisional orogeny.     

Spatial distribution of Cd and Cu in soils in Shenyang Zhangshi Irrigation Area （SZIA）, China

Heavy metal contamination of soils, derived from sewage irrigation, mining and inappropriate utilization of various agrochemicals and pesticides, and so on, has been of wide concern in the last several decades. The Shenyang Zhangshi Irrigation Area （SZIA） in China is a representative area of heavy metal contamination of soils resulting from sewage irrigation for about 30 years. This study investigated the spatial distribution and temporal variation of soil cadmium （Cd） and copper （Cu） contamination in the SZIA. The soil samples were collected from the SZIA in 1990 and 2004; Cd and Cu in soils was analyzed and then the spatial distribution and temporal variation of Cd and Cu in soils were modeled using Kriging methods. The results show that long-term sewage irrigation had caused serious Cd and Cu contamination in soils. The mean and the maximum of soil Cd are markedly higher than the levels in second grade standard soil （LSGSS） in China, and the maximum of soil Cu is close to the LSGSS in China in 2004 and is more than the LSGSS in China in 1990. The contamination magnitude of soil Cd and the soil extent of Cd con- tamination had evidently increased since sewage irrigation ceased in 1992. The contamination magnitude of soil Cu and the soil extent of Cu contamination had evidently increased in topsoil, but obviously decresed in subsoil. The soil contamination of Cd and Cu was mainly related to Cd and Cu reactivation of contaminated sediments in Shenyang Xi River and the import of Cd and Cu during irrigation. The eluviation of Cd and Cu in contaminated topsoil with rainfall and irrigation water was another factor of temporal-spatial variability of Cd and Cu contamination in soils.
