Experiment of the ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar dating of diagenetic illite in gas reservoirs

40Ar/39Ar dating of diagenetic illite has been performed to investigate gas reservoirs in the Sulige Gas Field of the northern Ordos Basin. A series of technical challenges were confronted, including illite purification, Ar recoil loss, and separation of diagenetic illite from detrital illite. Mineral growth ages for diagenetic illite were obtained by this experiment, from which the age of gas emplacement was deduced to be later than 169 Ma.     

无稀释剂法K-Ar定年的原理及地质应用

年轻火山物质K-Ar定年中Ar的精确测量一直是地质年代学研究的重要课题。在常规K-Ar定年法中,样品外来氩的⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar比值被假定为295.5。但研究表明,这种假定在某些情况下,尤其是在年轻样品的测量中受到了限制。一种无稀释剂的测Ar技术已在近年来得到了发展和应用。该方法的优势在于测氩系统不受³⁸Ar稀释剂的混染,利用标准大气的校准可测得样品中的⁴⁰Ar、³⁸Ar和³⁶Ar。考虑火山岩中大气氩分馏造成的影响,利用测得的³⁸Ar/³⁶Ar比值还可以对所测样品中的外来⁴⁰Ar/³⁶Ar比值进一步加以校正,给出精确的放射性成因⁴⁰Ar^*含量计算和K-Ar定年。目前,无稀释剂的K-Ar定年技术在地质上已有广泛应用,并能取得晚第三纪到第四纪可靠的年龄,对地质事件做出合理地解释和重建岩浆活动历史。对无稀释剂法K-Ar定年原理及地质应用的介绍,将为K-Ar年代学应用于研究晚第三纪以来的年轻火山岩提供一种有力的手段和解决途径。     

蒙脱石/烷基铵复合物的结构及凝胶特性研究进展

蒙脱石/烷基铵复合物的合成及应用研究是近年来矿物材料研究的热点之一.通过长碳链烷基铵离子在蒙脱石层间的插层反应制备蒙脱石/烷基铵复合物,能够将蒙脱石在水介质中呈现的溶胀性、分散性、吸附性能和形成触变性凝胶的性能移植到非极性溶剂中.然而,由于蒙脱石/烷基铵复合物的结构及凝胶性能受制于蒙脱石原料的性能、烷基铵的种类、烷基铵在蒙脱石层间的赋存形式等多个因素,其结构和凝胶性能的制约因素及影响机制仍是本研究领域当前尚未解决的重要理论问题.本文对蒙脱石/烷基铵复合物的结构及凝胶特性的国内外研究现状进行了综述,并对取得的研究成果进行了评述.     

火山岩样品的预处理及其对K-Ar年龄值的矫正

K-Ar和Ar-Ar法是中、新生代火山岩最有效的测年方法之一,合适的粒度和有效的预处理程序对于提高年龄资料的质量至关重要。样品粒度选用60～80目粒级（0.28～0.18mm）既能保证样品的均匀性,又可以有效去除大气氩的污染。新鲜火山岩需要用稀硝酸浸泡,以去除可能的碳酸盐的影响;轻微蚀变的火山岩则须用6%氢氟酸浸泡5 min,对年龄值的矫正可达20%。用电磁选的方法可以在很大程度上剔除捕虏晶的影响,对年龄值的矫正可达5%～10%。

^40Ar／^39Ar dating of Daqingshan thrust

The Daqingshan thrust system is an important part of the western segment of the Mesozoic Yinshan-Yanshan orogenic belt. Therefore, much attention has been paid to the thrusts due also to their large-scale and entirely devel-oped structural elements and typical structural styles. Studies and progress have been concentrated on the ge-ometry, kinematics, dating and dynamic mechanism of the thrust and thrusting. To date, there have been no reliable published isotopic data, however, on the dating…     

Dating of sediment－hosted disseminated－type gold deposit by using ^40Ar／^39Ar laser probe： A case study of Changkeng large－scale gold deposit, China

Hydrothermal clay minerals that formed in the main metallogenic stage of the Changkeng disseminated-type gold deposit in central Guangdong were analyzed by the 40Ar/39Ar laser probe. The results give Ar-Ar isochron ages of 109.9 1.4 to 110.1 1.3 Ma, which are 30 to 50 Ma older than the age of silver ore bodies in the deposit. Both gold and silver mineralizations were not related to hidden granite batholith in the mining district, but probably related to evo-lution of sedimentary basins. This study shows that the 40Ar/39Ar laser probe is a sound dating tool applicable to sediment-hosted disseminated-type gold deposit.     

Dating of sediment-hosted disseminated-type gold deposit by using ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar laser probe: A case study of Changkeng large-scale gold deposit, China

Ore-forming age is one of the most important data in studying the genesis of mineral deposits. Dating of sedi-ment-hosted disseminated-type gold deposits, which areone of the most important types of gold deposits in theworld, is always a difficult task for ore geologists. Themajor reason is that most of the ores in this type deposit are of various siliceous and are composed of extremely fine-grained minerals, thus it will be very difficult to de-termine their ages by using conventional isotopi…     

Laser probe40Ar/39Ar dating of mica on the deformed rocks from Altyn Fault and its tectonic implications, western China

The samples of Caledonian mylonitized granite and Jurassic meta-sedimentary rocks were collected in the north of Dangjinshan Pass, Qaidam gate fault-valley and Gesi fault-valley. Detailed studies under the microscope and electronic microscope suggest that all the samples contain the syntectonic-growing minerals such as white mica, chlorite, sericite, biotite, etc. By dating these minerals, we got a group of ⁴⁰Ar/³⁹Ar laser probe isochronal ages of 89—92 Ma and apparent ages of (46.6±6.4) Ma. The ages ranging from 97 to 46 Ma were reported for the first time in the isotopic dating researches of the Altyn Fault. The isochronal age group of (98—89) Ma indicates that a ductile strike-slip event, with low-grade metamorphism, began in late Cretaceous. This suggests that the strike-slip movement of the Altyn Fault should be related to the formation of the so-called west tectonic syntaxis in the Nepal-western Kunlun area.

Further support for a Cretaceous age for the feathered-dinosaur beds of Liaoning,China:New 40Ar/39Ar dating of the Yixian and Tuchengzi Formations

We report new 40Ar/39Ar dating results obtained from total fusion and incremental-heating analyses of sanidine and biotite from three tuffs found interbedded within the fossil-bearing deposits of Liaoning, northeast China. The first is a new sample of the Bed 6 Sihetun tuff from the Yixian Formation, previously dated by our team as middle Early Cretaceous, and recently considered by Lo et al., partially reset due to metamorphism from a nearby basaltic sill. The second is the Yixian Bed 9 tuff from Hengdaozi considered by Lo et al. to be unaffected by metamorphism and whose age, based on total fusion 40Ar/39Ar dating of biotite, argues for a Jurassic age for the Yixian Formation.The third tuff is a previously undated tuff from the upper part of the underlying Tuchengzi Formation. Single crystal total fusion 40Ar/39Ar analyses of the Sihetun sanidine showed homogeneous radiogenic Ar, Ca/K ratios, excellent reproducibility and gave a mean age of 125.0 ± 0.18 (1SD) ±0.04 (SE) Ma. Single sanidine crystal total fusion 40Ar/39Aranalyses of the Hengdaozi tuff gave a mean age of 125.0 +0.19 (1SD) ± 0.04 (SE) Ma, which is indistinguishable from the Sihetun tuff. The Tuchengzi Formation tuff gave a mean age of 139.4 ± 0.19 (1SD) ± 0.05 (SE) Ma. Detailed laser incremental-heating analyses of biotite from Sihetun, Hengdaozi, and Tuchengzi tuffs show disturbed Ar release patterns and evidence of trapped argon components. We conclude from these analyses that the total fusion dates on biotite by Lo et al. are erroneously old and isotopic dating of both biotite and sanidine from tuffs of the Yixian Formation point to a middle Early Cretaceous age. The upper part of the Tuchengzi Formation can be referred to the Early Cretaceous.``     

Lasing on pyroclastic rocks:A case study of ~(40)Ar/~(39)Ar dating on Moshishan Group,eastern Zhejiang Province

It is difficult to date pyroclastic rocks,for almost all the dating methods,due to the multiple sources during their formation.40Ar/39Ar incremental heating results on groundmass selected from the samples show that the age spectra are meaningless geologically.However,singe crystal total fusions of CO2 lasing on the sanidine separates could yield rational 40Ar/39Ar results and distinguish their sources in this study.Timing on three formations of the Moshishan Group,after avoiding the exotic and altered grains by lasing on the single sanidine separate,was reported in this paper.The lowermost portion of the Chawan Formation gives an age of 113.7±0.3 Ma;the lower part of the Xishantou Formation was formed 116.4±0.4 Ma ago and the bottom of the Gaowu Formation took its shape at 118.4±0.4 Ma.These new ages are much younger than the previous ones,suggesting that these thick volcanic formations had been formed in very short durations.

水体中常见阴、阳离子对Fe（Ⅲ）/UV催化降解罗丹明B的影响

为研究溶解氧和外加阴、阳离子对Fe（Ⅲ）/UV催化降解罗丹明B的影响,在间歇式光化学反应器中进行了系列对照试验,用一级动力方程拟合得到了各种条件下罗丹明B的降解速率常数k.结果表明,溶液中氧含量增加能加速罗丹明B的Fe（Ⅲ）/UV催化降解,k提高程度与溶液pH值有关;阴离子草酸根、柠檬酸根、硝酸根能促进罗丹明B的Fe（Ⅲ）/UV催化降解,最佳草酸根和柠檬酸根用量分别为Fe（Ⅲ）物质量浓度的3和4倍,HCO3^-、Cl^-、腐植酸会不同程度地抑制罗丹明B的Fe（Ⅲ）/UV催化降解;阳离子钾、钠、钙、镁均可促进罗丹明B的Fe（Ⅲ）/UV催化降解,但它们对降解速率的提高程度各不相同,并与其溶液的质量浓度有关.上述结果提示Fe（Ⅲ）/UV用于处理含罗丹明B的实际废水时应注意水中其他共存离子对催化降解过程的影响.     

40Ar/39Ar ages and stable isotopes of supergene jarosite from the Baiyin VHMS ore field,NE Tibetan Plateau with paleoclimatic implications

Supergene jarosite is widely distributed in weathering profiles derived from hypogene sulfide ores.Precise40Ar/39Ar dating and determination of hydrogen and oxygen isotopes of supergene jarosite can not only place tight constraints on the timing and history of continental weathering and supergene enrichment of sulfide ore deposits,but also shed significant insights into paleoclimatic conditions and tectonic uplift responsible for the weathering.In this paper,we present a preliminary study of40Ar/39Ar geochronology and stable isotope geochemistry of supergene jarosite from the early Paleozoic Zheyaoshan volcanic-hosted massive sulfide deposit of the Baiyin ore field located in the eastern portion of the Qilian Mountain along the northeastern(NE)margin of the Tibetan Plateau in an attempt to better understand the climatic conditions prevailed during the pervasive weathering in the region.Jarosite from the Zheyaoshan mining area occurs either as gravels within alluvial deposits over low-relief flat-top hills or cm-wide veins crosscutting weathered sulfide ores or their wall rocks.The gravels consist of massive jarosite aggregates with tabular crystal morphology and contain 8.21 wt%–8.31 wt%K2O on average.Two jarosite grains extracted from the gravels(08-02-2 and 08-02-5)yield well-defined40Ar/39Ar plateauages of 37.1±0.3 and 41.2±0.4 Ma(2r),respectively.They have dD values of-133%and-156%,and d18OSO4values of 2.6%and 2.5%.The vein-type jarosite consists of hexagonal pyramid crystals and contains much lower K2O,averaging at 2.44 wt%–2.72 wt%.Two jarosite veins(06-16-3 and 06-16-4)yield similar plateau ages of 3.2±0.1 and 3.3±0.1 Ma(2r),respectively.These jarosite veins have dD values of-158%and-160%,and d18OSO4values of 2.8%and 2.5%.The40Ar/39Ar ages indicate that sulfide ores of the Zheyaoshan deposit must have been brought to the surface since the late Eocene,and subsequently subjected to prolonged oxidation and supergene enrichment.The precipitation and preservation of jarosite in weathering profiles indicate that arid–semiarid climatic conditions must have been prevailed since the late Eocene.The hydrogen and oxygen isotopes of the jarosite further point to variation of climatic conditions in the area,with the Pliocene being slightly cooler relative to the late Eocene.Given that weathering profiles overlying sulfide ore deposits are widely distributed along the Qilian Mountain,systematic studies of40Ar/39Ar geochronology and stable isotope geochemistry of jarosite-group minerals from these profiles would provide valuable information on the timing and evolution of regional tectonic uplift,paleoclimatic changes,and supergene mineralization in this mountainous belt along the NE edge of the Tibetan Plateau.
