There is much anthraxolite in reef limestone and ore-bodies. The anthraxolite is the postmature result of oil-gas' thermal metamorphism. The close relationship of anthraxolite and Sn-polymetal deposit reveals the space-time relation between oil-gas evolution and Sn-polymetal mineralization. Sulfur isotope of Longtoushan deposit is close to oil's sulfur in Devonian, which indicates obvious relationship between the sulfur's source of deposit and oil-gas' activity. The forming of Longtoushan deposit relates to exhalative-sedimentary mineralization in Devonian. Because of the favorable hydrocarbon-forming condition of Longtoushan reef and surrounding basin facies' black shale and peat, coupling of ore-formation and hydrocarbon-forming occurs in seabed's hydrothermal convection. The distributing of ore-forming elements indicates the presence of hydrothermal convection system. The thermal fluid containing organic matters conduces to Sn-polymetal elements' activation and transfer, and provides catalyzing condition to the transforming from SO42- to S2-. The erosion action of brine containing organic acid to reef limestone induces the growing of crannies and karst's caverns, which provides advantageous space to Sn-polymetal mineralization. The heat source of mineralization provides thermocatalysis condition to hydrocarbon-forming. When the circulatory fluid containing oil-gas enters the high-temperature region(＞150 ℃ ), the oil-gas is decomposed and anthraxolite comes into being.展开更多

It is that the uncertainty of mineralization ages of gold ore deposits in northern zone of eastern Kunlun Mountains, Qinghai Province, restrains to probe the relationship of the deposits to the regional tectonic evolution. This paper documents the fission track method used to determine the ages of gold ore deposits in eastern Kunlun Mountains and considers the implication for the origin of the deposits.Eastern Kunlun Mountains is the northern part of the Qinghai—Tibet Plateau and is of three deep\|seated fault belts in about EW extension. This work mainly includes three gold ore districts. All of them, in the north of Mid\|Kunlun fault belt, belong to northern part of eastern Kunlun Mountains. The Yanjingou district, with geographical coordinate 96°00’E and 36°10’N, is located 60 km north of Hongqigou district . Both of them are large, typical tectonoalteration gold deposits and were formed in similar geological setting. Hongshuihe ore district is located 50 km east of Yanjingou district and includes tectonoalteration and magmatic cryptoexplosive gold deposits. Outcroped strata are dominantly Jinshuikou Group metamorphic rocks of Lower Proterozoic erathem. The occurrence area of igneous rocks, especially granitoid, accounts for about 90% in first two districts and become less in Hongshuihe district. The gold deposits occur in NW\|striking fault belts. The Rb\|Sr isochron age and K\|Ar isotopic age of Moyite relevant to the gold mineralization are respectively 228 25Ma and 207 1Ma. Rb\|Sr dating of diorite porphyrite is 209 09Ma. Sericite selected from Yanjingou orebody has 252 9Ma K\|Ar age. The ore in Hongqigou district has 197Ma K\|Ar age and 210Ma model age of Pb isotope of galena.展开更多

Rare earth elements(REEs) are used in a wide range of modern applications. These applications are highly specific and substitutes are inferior or unknown. One possible source of the REE could be the poly-metallic nodule, at present explored in the tropical part of the Pacific Ocean. In developing miners of high performance, dynamic behaviour should be investigated under various traveling conditions. The mechanics of tracked vehicles is of continuing interest to organizations and agencies that specify design and operate tracked vehicles. Most works done are on the complete track vehicle system but in this work the research activity is aimed only at the track system with the basic aim of optimizing the track system design so that it can be manufactured by using the minimum resources. Equations and models are developed for the track system of a miner during steering motion. These equations and models could further be used for design optimization of the track system.展开更多

In this paper, taking lead, zinc, iron sulfide mineral systems for examples, several models of galvanic coupling were proposed and the effects of galvanic coupling on flotation were discussed. A galvanic contact between galena （or sphalerite） and pyrite contributes to decreasing the content of zinc in lead concentrate, and enhances remarkably the absorption of collector on the galena surface. During grinding, due to galvanic interactions between minerals and steel medium, Fe（OH）3 formed covers on the cathodic mineral surface, affecting its floatability.展开更多

Pakistan straddles the suture zone between the collided Indian and Eurasian plates in the NW Himalayas of N. Pakistan. Initiated as an intra\|oceanic island\|arc crust in Neotethys, the terrane accreted with the southern margin of the Karakoram Plate in the Late Cretaceous (about 90Ma). Continued subduction at its southern margin resulted in Andean\|type magmatism and tectonics, until collision with the Indian Plat in the Early Eocene.Whereas much of the central and eastern Kohistan expose Cretaceous volcanic and sedimentary rocks of intra\|oceanic island arc setting, the western Kohistan in Swat, Dir, Chitral and upper Ghizer valleys preserves remnants of the Late Paleocene—Early Eocene volcanism and sedimentation of Andean\|type setting. These volcano\|sedimentary lithologies in western Kohistan are geographically divisible into two, separated by the Lowari Pluton; (1) Dir\|Swat Belt, (2) Drosh\|Shamran Belt. Late Paleocene\|Early Eocene siliceous volcanics termed Utror Volcanics and Shamran Volcanics are common in the two belts and so are the plutons intrusive into these volcanics (Late Stage\|II of the Kohistan Batholith). The difference is in the sedimentary successions presented in the two belts. Whereas in the Dir\|Swat belt, the sedimentary succession comprises Baraul Banda Slate Formation, deposited in deep\|water fore\|arc setting and contemporaneous in age with that of the nearby Utror Volcanic Formation (about 55～60Ma), the sediments in the Drosh\|Shamran belt are distinctly red beds of fluvial origin (the Purit Formation) those overlie unconformably on top of the Shamran Volcanics and their equivalents.展开更多

The worldwide famous super\|large Jinding Pb\|Zn deposit is located in the middle of the basin. The evolution history of the Lanping basin since Mesozoic can be divided into six stages, i.e., ①active continental marginal basin (T 1—T 2); ②back\|arc rift basin (T 3—J 1); ③intracontinental depressive basin (J 2—J 3); ④foreland basin (K); ⑤strike\|slipping and mutual thrusting (E 1—E 3); and ⑥strike\|slipping and pull\|apart basin (N 1\|present). Three main types of Ag\|Cu polymetal deposits are recognized in the basin. Deposits of sedimentary exhalation\|hydrothermal reworking origin (type Ⅰ) are hosted chiefly in limestones, dolomitic limestones, and siliceous rocks of the Upper Triassic Sanhedong Formation (T 3 s ) in Sanshan area. Deposits formed through normal chemical sedimentation in closed to semi\|closed environments (type Ⅱ; e.g., Jinman and Baiyangchang) during the depressive and foreland basin stages occur in various horizons of Jurassic and Cretaceous ages. Hydrothermal reworking on deposits of this type during the Himalayan period are locally pronounced, especially in the west margin of the basin near the Lancangjiang thrust fault. The third deposit type in the basin (type Ⅲ; e.g., Baiyangping and Fulongchang) is the Ag\|bearing tetrahedrite vein deposits occurring almost in all Mesozoic—Cenozoic strata, especially in the Cretaceous. Ore minerals formed during synsedimentary periods of types Ⅰ and Ⅱ are relatively simple and dominated by chalcopyrite and bornite, though sphalerite, galena, pyrite, tetrahedrite and pyrite are also present. In the deposits of type Ⅲ as well as in the ores formed during the hydrothermal reworking period in deposits of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ, ore minerals are extremely complicated and characterized by predominant Ag\|bearing tetrahedrite and other complex sulfosalts of Cu\|Ni\|Co\|Fe\|As\|S and Cu\|Bi\|S series. The associated gangue minerals are mainly quartz, siderite, Fe\|dolomite, barite, and celestite.展开更多

The results show that a smaller mineral particle size leads to a higher leaching rate of pyrite, and the optimum result with pyrite leaching rate of 2.92% is obtained when mineral particle size is less than 0.037 mm. The pulp potential reflects the leaching process. The increase of pulp potential can improve pyrite leaching. The leaching rate and velocity of pyrite can be enhanced rapidly by adding strong oxidant. The kind and the method of adding oxidant have important effect on the pyrite leaching. Appropriate concentration of Fe3+ can enhance pyrite leaching but the precipitation generated by high concentration of ferric ion covers the surface of pyrites and prevents the leaching process. The leaching rate increases with the constant addition of H2O2.展开更多

Continental rifting developed in Hercynian period (P 2, 260～250Ma) accompany with a series of basic\|ultrabasic rocks. Various in lithologies, such as layered intrusions (V\|Ti\|Fe formation), small\|sized mafic\|ultramafic bodies (stocks) and large\|scale basalt (Emeishan Basalt) are constituted of a complete melanocratic rock system.Most of Cu\|Ni\|PGE sulfide deposits are related to small\|sized ultramafic rock bodies. It is a perfect possibility for them to be an affinity of basic eruptive lava and for the neck facies. But in ① Panzhihua\|Center Yunnan Province, the Gaojiacun, also Jinbaoshan, as large stratiform basic\|ultrabasic complex used to be thought that is older one intruded to basement rocks in Precambrian. However, new evidences suggest it is similar with the small\|sized ultramafic rock bodies containing Cu\|Ni\|PGE, and also the both are affinity of the Emeishan Basalt; ② Miyi district, Cu\|Pt mineralization was discovered in the Xinjie bedded basic complex, and in where ophitic olivine\|pyroxenite\|peridotite facies are exactly Pt\|bearing layers; ③ Longzhoushan district, we have recently researched basic\|ultrabasic clusters which intruded into fracture zones, and Cu\|Ni\|Pt, Pd mineralization developed at the salbands.Generally, the basalt is poor in PGE and rich in Cu. It is suggested as the result of PGE dispersion\|concentration processing in the melanocratic rock system when rifting happened.展开更多

By analysis of regional geological and geophysical data, and by using crustobody theory and researching methods, this region can be divided into three sectors of different crustal structure. During Proterozoic to Eopaleozoic, the spreading and closing of Northern Tianshan Sea, on the foundation of disparate continental basements of each sectors, the transversal heterogeneity of tectonic movement and evolution resulted in the diversity of crustal structure and material formations. The metallogenic evolution indicated that different geotectonic evolution periods had not only different characteristics of mineralization commodity and mineral deposit types, but also the progressive mineralization feature. In Neopaleozoic, the closing of Northern Tianshan Sea from north to south and the difference of transmeridional tectonic deformation and magmation formed in the movement constituted the different metallogenic environment in shallow crust. Furthermore, it brought on the diverse Cu-Au-polymetal mineral deposit types and metallogenetic epoch from north to south and from west to east.展开更多
文摘Longtoushan Sn-polymetal deposit is a large-scale deposit of high-tenor. The ore-bodies occur in reef limestone of middle Devonian. There is much anthraxolite in reef limestone and ore-bodies. The anthraxolite is the postmature result of oil-gas' thermal metamorphism. The close relationship of anthraxolite and Sn-polymetal deposit reveals the space-time relation between oil-gas evolution and Sn-polymetal mineralization. Sulfur isotope of Longtoushan deposit is close to oil's sulfur in Devonian, which indicates obvious relationship between the sulfur's source of deposit and oil-gas' activity. The forming of Longtoushan deposit relates to exhalative-sedimentary mineralization in Devonian. Because of the favorable hydrocarbon-forming condition of Longtoushan reef and surrounding basin facies' black shale and peat, coupling of ore-formation and hydrocarbon-forming occurs in seabed's hydrothermal convection. The distributing of ore-forming elements indicates the presence of hydrothermal convection system. The thermal fluid containing organic matters conduces to Sn-polymetal elements' activation and transfer, and provides catalyzing condition to the transforming from SO42- to S2-. The erosion action of brine containing organic acid to reef limestone induces the growing of crannies and karst's caverns, which provides advantageous space to Sn-polymetal mineralization. The heat source of mineralization provides thermocatalysis condition to hydrocarbon-forming. When the circulatory fluid containing oil-gas enters the high-temperature region(＞150 ℃ ), the oil-gas is decomposed and anthraxolite comes into being.

文摘As a solution to the breaking of pipeline under high axial force,carbon fiber composite pipe with low density and high intensity is applied to deep-sea mining transporting system.Based on the fact that the transporting pipe is under the forces of gravity,inner liquid,buoyancy as well as hydrodynamic force,geometric nonlinear finite element theory has been applied to analyzing the transporting system.Conclusions can be drawn as follows.Under the interaction of waves and currents,node forces FX and FZ acted by the transporting pipe on the mining vehicle are less than 2 kN,which indicates that waves and currents have little influence on the spatial shape of the transporting pipe and the mining vehicle movement.On the other hand,the horizontal force acting on the mining ship could be as large as 106 830 N,which has great influence on the mining system.
文摘The Kohistan Terrane in N. Pakistan straddles the suture zone between the collided Indian and Eurasian plates in the NW Himalayas of N. Pakistan. Initiated as an intra\|oceanic island\|arc crust in Neotethys, the terrane accreted with the southern margin of the Karakoram Plate in the Late Cretaceous (about 90Ma). Continued subduction at its southern margin resulted in Andean\|type magmatism and tectonics, until collision with the Indian Plat in the Early Eocene.Whereas much of the central and eastern Kohistan expose Cretaceous volcanic and sedimentary rocks of intra\|oceanic island arc setting, the western Kohistan in Swat, Dir, Chitral and upper Ghizer valleys preserves remnants of the Late Paleocene—Early Eocene volcanism and sedimentation of Andean\|type setting. These volcano\|sedimentary lithologies in western Kohistan are geographically divisible into two, separated by the Lowari Pluton; (1) Dir\|Swat Belt, (2) Drosh\|Shamran Belt. Late Paleocene\|Early Eocene siliceous volcanics termed Utror Volcanics and Shamran Volcanics are common in the two belts and so are the plutons intrusive into these volcanics (Late Stage\|II of the Kohistan Batholith). The difference is in the sedimentary successions presented in the two belts. Whereas in the Dir\|Swat belt, the sedimentary succession comprises Baraul Banda Slate Formation, deposited in deep\|water fore\|arc setting and contemporaneous in age with that of the nearby Utror Volcanic Formation (about 55～60Ma), the sediments in the Drosh\|Shamran belt are distinctly red beds of fluvial origin (the Purit Formation) those overlie unconformably on top of the Shamran Volcanics and their equivalents.
文摘The Lanping Mesozoic—Cenozoic sedimentary basin, situated in the Middle section of the “Sanjiang" (Nujiang—Lancangjiang—Jinshajiang) area in the east margin of the Tibet plateau, is well known for its large production of base\|metal sulphide deposits. The worldwide famous super\|large Jinding Pb\|Zn deposit is located in the middle of the basin. The evolution history of the Lanping basin since Mesozoic can be divided into six stages, i.e., ①active continental marginal basin (T 1—T 2); ②back\|arc rift basin (T 3—J 1); ③intracontinental depressive basin (J 2—J 3); ④foreland basin (K); ⑤strike\|slipping and mutual thrusting (E 1—E 3); and ⑥strike\|slipping and pull\|apart basin (N 1\|present). Three main types of Ag\|Cu polymetal deposits are recognized in the basin. Deposits of sedimentary exhalation\|hydrothermal reworking origin (type Ⅰ) are hosted chiefly in limestones, dolomitic limestones, and siliceous rocks of the Upper Triassic Sanhedong Formation (T 3 s ) in Sanshan area. Deposits formed through normal chemical sedimentation in closed to semi\|closed environments (type Ⅱ; e.g., Jinman and Baiyangchang) during the depressive and foreland basin stages occur in various horizons of Jurassic and Cretaceous ages. Hydrothermal reworking on deposits of this type during the Himalayan period are locally pronounced, especially in the west margin of the basin near the Lancangjiang thrust fault. The third deposit type in the basin (type Ⅲ; e.g., Baiyangping and Fulongchang) is the Ag\|bearing tetrahedrite vein deposits occurring almost in all Mesozoic—Cenozoic strata, especially in the Cretaceous. Ore minerals formed during synsedimentary periods of types Ⅰ and Ⅱ are relatively simple and dominated by chalcopyrite and bornite, though sphalerite, galena, pyrite, tetrahedrite and pyrite are also present. In the deposits of type Ⅲ as well as in the ores formed during the hydrothermal reworking period in deposits of type Ⅰ and Ⅱ, ore minerals are extremely complicated and characterized by predominant Ag\|bearing tetrahedrite and other complex sulfosalts of Cu\|Ni\|Co\|Fe\|As\|S and Cu\|Bi\|S series. The associated gangue minerals are mainly quartz, siderite, Fe\|dolomite, barite, and celestite.

文摘The effect of mineral particle size, pulp potential and category of oxidant on pyrite leaching was studied. The results show that a smaller mineral particle size leads to a higher leaching rate of pyrite, and the optimum result with pyrite leaching rate of 2.92% is obtained when mineral particle size is less than 0.037 mm. The pulp potential reflects the leaching process. The increase of pulp potential can improve pyrite leaching. The leaching rate and velocity of pyrite can be enhanced rapidly by adding strong oxidant. The kind and the method of adding oxidant have important effect on the pyrite leaching. Appropriate concentration of Fe3+ can enhance pyrite leaching but the precipitation generated by high concentration of ferric ion covers the surface of pyrites and prevents the leaching process. The leaching rate increases with the constant addition of H2O2.
文摘Sanjiang (Jinshajiang River,Lancangjiang River and Nujiang River) concentration area in southwest China is within the Tethys\|Himalayan tectonic domain,and it is the main area where develops Himalayan movement and relative ore deposits,such as Yulong super large Cu\|Mo deposit,Jinding super large Pb\|Zn deposit,etc ,in West China.So it is a best place to study Himalayan movement and metallogeny.1 Metallogenic geological background Sanjiang concentration area has passed complex Tethys tectonic development before Cainozoic era,and it begins Himalayan inland basin\|mountain tectonic development at the end of Yanshan movement.It commonly accepts autochthonous platform type deposits since Mesozoic era,and the basin\|mountain tectonic pattern has already appeared.Old metamorphic terrains and paleo\|Tethys orogenic belts become “mountains”,as well as microplateforms sink to become “basins”.Comparing to Mesozoic basins,Eogene basins are many smaller garben\|type extension basins or strike\|slip extension basins on the background of big large basins.
文摘The study area is part of the Urumieh–Dokhtar volcanic arc that a large part of its surface is covered by extrusive Igneous rocks(tuff,intermediate lavas and ignimbrites sheets),plutonic igneous(diorite and granodiorite)and semi-deep stones(dyke and sill).Studied samples are situated in calc-alkaline domain of magmatic series diagrams.Harker diagrams show the fractional crystallization of Clinopyroxene,amphibole,plagioclase,alkali feldspars and opaque minerals(ilmenite Titano-magnetite,ilmenite and rutile).In spider diagrams,light rare earth elements(LREE)are enriched compared to heavy rare earth elements(HREE),and HFS elements(Ti,Nb)show negative anomaly and LFS elements(Cs,K,Pb)show positive anomaly,showing that it is a distinct characteristic of subduction zones.Skarns of the area mainly are of exoskarns and are rich in plagioclase,microcline,amphibole,biotite and epidote.Skarn is enriched of iron,copper,molybdenum,vanadium,lead,zinc and silver.Deposits of barite in the area show characteristics of volcanic-sedimentary barites and are associated to ore-bearing hydrothermal solutions.Using satellite images and processing information,four areas with high mineral potential are identified in the area.
文摘The Kyzylalmasay gold-silver deposit is located within the Southwest spurs of the Chatkal ridge of the Beltau-Kurama volcanic-plutonic belt.The deposit is related to typical sub-aerial margin-continental structures of tectonic-magmatic activation,in which there is a wide development of volcanogenic Au-Ag deposits.The deposits are conjugate with a basalt-andesite-dacite volcanic fractionation sequence. Ore-forming processes are related to
文摘The Panxi Rift Zone is a famous metallogenic province in Southwest China. Continental rifting developed in Hercynian period (P 2, 260～250Ma) accompany with a series of basic\|ultrabasic rocks. Various in lithologies, such as layered intrusions (V\|Ti\|Fe formation), small\|sized mafic\|ultramafic bodies (stocks) and large\|scale basalt (Emeishan Basalt) are constituted of a complete melanocratic rock system.Most of Cu\|Ni\|PGE sulfide deposits are related to small\|sized ultramafic rock bodies. It is a perfect possibility for them to be an affinity of basic eruptive lava and for the neck facies. But in ① Panzhihua\|Center Yunnan Province, the Gaojiacun, also Jinbaoshan, as large stratiform basic\|ultrabasic complex used to be thought that is older one intruded to basement rocks in Precambrian. However, new evidences suggest it is similar with the small\|sized ultramafic rock bodies containing Cu\|Ni\|PGE, and also the both are affinity of the Emeishan Basalt; ② Miyi district, Cu\|Pt mineralization was discovered in the Xinjie bedded basic complex, and in where ophitic olivine\|pyroxenite\|peridotite facies are exactly Pt\|bearing layers; ③ Longzhoushan district, we have recently researched basic\|ultrabasic clusters which intruded into fracture zones, and Cu\|Ni\|Pt, Pd mineralization developed at the salbands.Generally, the basalt is poor in PGE and rich in Cu. It is suggested as the result of PGE dispersion\|concentration processing in the melanocratic rock system when rifting happened.

文摘Eastern Tianshan, a cardinal part of Northern Xinjiang compound continental crustoblock, is located in the east of Tianshan Diwa region. By analysis of regional geological and geophysical data, and by using crustobody theory and researching methods, this region can be divided into three sectors of different crustal structure. During Proterozoic to Eopaleozoic, the spreading and closing of Northern Tianshan Sea, on the foundation of disparate continental basements of each sectors, the transversal heterogeneity of tectonic movement and evolution resulted in the diversity of crustal structure and material formations. The metallogenic evolution indicated that different geotectonic evolution periods had not only different characteristics of mineralization commodity and mineral deposit types, but also the progressive mineralization feature. In Neopaleozoic, the closing of Northern Tianshan Sea from north to south and the difference of transmeridional tectonic deformation and magmation formed in the movement constituted the different metallogenic environment in shallow crust. Furthermore, it brought on the diverse Cu-Au-polymetal mineral deposit types and metallogenetic epoch from north to south and from west to east.
