Production cross-section of Th-236 in the interaction of U-238 with 60MeV/u O-18 Ions

The neutron-rich target-like isotope Th-236 was produced in U-238-2p multinucleon transfer reaction between a 60MeV/u O-18 beam and nature U-238 targets. The thorium activities were radiochemically separated from the mixture of uranium and reaction products. The isotope Th-236 was identified by 642.2keV, 687.6keV and 229.6keV characteristic gamma-rays. The production cross section of Th-236 has been determined to be 250 +/- 50 mu b.

Angular distribution of characteristic photons after radiative electron capture at strong central fields

We investigate the difference in the angular distribution of Ly-alpha(1) and K alpha(1) photons from hydrogenlike and heliumlike ions of uranium after radiative electron capture to the L shell. The strong anisotropy in the former case is changed to a very small one in the latter case. Our calculations support the observation. The effect takes place even in the limiting case of noninteracting electrons, being caused by the Pauli principle.

Ultrahigh compression of water using intense heavy ion beams: laboratory planetary physics

Intense heavy ion beams offer a unique tool for generating samples of high energy density matter with extreme conditions of density and pressure that are believed to exist in the interiors of giant planets. An international accelerator facility named FAIR (Facility for Antiprotons and Ion Research) is being constructed at Darmstadt, which will be completed around the year 2015. It is expected that this accelerator facility will deliver a bunched uranium beam with an intensity of 5x10(11) ions per spill with a bunch length of 50-100 ns. An experiment named LAPLAS (Laboratory Planetary Sciences) has been proposed to achieve a low-entropy compression of a sample material like hydrogen or water (which are believed to be abundant in giant planets) that is imploded in a multi-layered target by the ion beam. Detailed numerical simulations have shown that using parameters of the heavy ion beam that will be available at FAIR, one can generate physical conditions that have been predicted to exist in the interior of giant planets. In the present paper, we report simulations of compression of water that show that one can generate a plasma phase as well as a superionic phase of water in the LAPLAS experiments.

高电荷态238Uq+在碳膜中电荷平衡时间的研究

离子通过物质过程中与靶原子发生碰撞，碰撞中大量电子被俘获和电离。当电子俘获截面与电离截面达到平衡时，出射离子的电荷态分布达到一个平衡的分布，这个分布与入射离子的核电荷数、速度、壳层结构以及靶材料的性质有关。研究离子通过物质后的电荷态分布和电荷平衡时间对于研究高电荷态离子穿越物质层时的电荷转换及平衡过程具有重要意义。 本文论述了能量为0.8 MeV/u 238Uq+离子通过不同厚度碳膜后的电荷态分布，并对铀离子在碳膜中的电荷平衡时间进行了研究。 实验中束流采用兰州重离子加速器国家重点实验室（HIRFL）首次加速出的能量为0.8 MeV/u 238U26+离子束。本实验是首次在兰州放射性次级束流线（RIBLL）实验终端进行，采用的实验方法新颖。为了研究不同初始电荷态的铀离子通过不同厚度碳膜后的电荷态分布，实验中采取让初级束流 238U26+通过0.1µm厚度碳膜后形成一个电荷态分布，通过调节二极磁铁的控制电流从中选择某一电荷态轰击碳靶，进行电荷态分布研究。 实验对0.8 MeV/u 238Uq+(q=26，29，34，39)通过不同厚度碳膜（5µg/cm2，15µg/cm2，26µg/cm2和225µg/cm2）后的电荷态分布进行了研究。结果发现：能量为0.8 MeV/u的铀离子通过5µg/cm2厚度碳膜后，出射铀离子的电荷态分布未达到平衡；同样铀离子通过15µg/cm2厚度碳膜后，出射铀离子的电荷态分布已达到平衡，平衡平均电荷态为33.72+；由此通过计算得到铀离子在碳膜中的电荷平衡时间为1/3×5.4fs<=t<=5.4fs

Electronic structures and chemical bonding in transition metal monosilicides MSi (M=3d, 4d, 5d elements)

Bond distances, vibrational frequencies, electron affinities, ionization potentials, dissociation energies, and dipole moments of the title molecules in neutral, positively, and negatively charged ions were studied using the density functional method. Ground state was assigned for each species. The bonding patterns were analyzed and compared with both the available data and across the series. It was found that besides an ionic component, covalent bonds are formed between the metal s, d orbitals and the silicon 3p orbital. The covalent character increases from ScSi (YSi) to NiSi (PdSi) for 3d (4d) metal monosilicides, then decreases. For 5d metal monosilicides, the covalent character increases from LaSi to OsSi, then decreases. For the dissociation of cations, the dissociation channel depends on the magnitude of the ionization potential between metal and silicon. If the ionization potential of the metal is smaller than that of silicon, channel MSi+-> M++Si is favored. Otherwise, MSi+-> M+Si+ will be favored. A similar behavior was observed for anions, in which the dissociation channel depends on the magnitude of electron affinity.

Studies on the synergistic extraction of rare earths with a combination of 2-ethylhexylphosphonic mono-2-ethylhexyl ester and trialkylphosphine oxide

The synergistic extraction of rare earths (La, Nd, Gd, Y and Yb) with a mixture of 2-ethylhexyl 2-ethylhexylphosphonate (EHEHPA) (HA) and trialkylphosphine oxide (Cyanex 923) (B) from a hydrochloride medium was investigated. The mixed system significantly enhances the extraction efficiency for lighter lanthanides and the synergistic enhancement coefficients for La (4.52), Nd (3.35), Gd (2.08), Y (1.31) and Yb (1.08) decrease with decreasing ionic radius of the rare earths. The extraction equilibrium of La, Nd and Gd indicate that La and Nd were extracted as MA(3)(.)B, whereas Gd was extracted as Gd(OH)A(2)(HA)(2)B-.. The equilibrium constants, thermodynamic functions such as Delta G, Delta H and Delta S and formation constants of the extracted species were determined. The stripping properties were also studied.

Paleoenvironment evolution of the East Philippine Sea recorded in the new-type ferromanganese crust since the terminal Late Miocene

From systemic research of microstructure, geochemistry, uranium-series and Be-10 isotope dating on a new-type deepwater ferromanganese crust from the East Philippine Sea, the paleoenvironment evolution of the target area since the terminal Late Miocene was recovered. The vertical section changes of microstructure and chemical composition are consistent in the studied crust, which indicate three major accretion periods and corresponding paleoenvironment evolution of the crust. The bottom crust zone was formed in the terminal Late Miocene (5.6 Ma) with loose microstructure, high detritus content and high growth rate. Reductions of mineral element content, accretion rate and positive Ce-anomaly degree at 4.6 Ma indicate temporal warming, which went against the crust accretion and finally formed an accretion gap in the terminal Middle Pliocene (2.8-2.7 Ma). The more active Antarctic bottom seawaters in the Late Pliocene (2.7 Ma) facilitated the fast transfer to the top pure crust zone. Hereafter, with the further apart of volcanic source and the keeping increase of eolian material (1.0 Ma), although surrounding conditions were still favorable, mineral element content still shows an obvious reducing trend. It thereby offers new carrier and data for the unclear paleoceanographic research of the target area since the terminal Late Miocene.

Geochemical and isotopic characteristics of volcanic rocks from the northern East China Sea shelf margin and the Okinawa Trough

Volcanic rocks both from the northern East China Sea (NECS) shelf margin and the northern Okinawa Trough are subalkaline less aluminous, and lower in High Field Strength Elements (HFSE). These rocks are higher in Large Ion Lithophile Elements (LILE), thorium and uranium contents, positive lead anomalies, negative Nb-Ta anomalies, and enrichment in Light Rare Earth Elements (LREE). Basalts from the NECS shelf margin are akin to Indian Ocean Mid-Ocean Ridge Basalt (MORB), and rhyolites from the northern Okinawa Trough have the highest Pb-207/Pb-208 and Pb-208/Pb-204 ratios. The NECS shelf margin basalts have lower Sr-87/Sr-86 ratios, epsilon(Nd) and sigma O-18 than the northern Okinawa Trough silicic rocks. According to K-40-Ar-40 isotopic ages of basalts from the NECS shelf margin, rifting of the Okinawa Trough may have been active since at least 3.65-3.86 Ma. The origin of the NECS shelf margin basalt can be explained by the interaction of melt derived from Indian Ocean MORB-like mantle with enriched subcontinental lithosphere. The basalts from both sides of the Okinawa Trough may have a similar origin during the initial rifting of the Okinawa Trough, and the formation of basaltic magmas closely relates to the thinning of continental crust. The source of the formation of the northern Okinawa Trough silicic rocks was different from that of the middle Okinawa Trough, which could have been generated by the interaction of basaltic melt with an enriched crustal component. From the Ryukyu island arc to East China, the Cenozoic basalts have apparently increasing trends of MgO contents and ratios of LREE to Heavy Rare Earth Elements (HREE), suggesting that the trace element variabilities of basalts may have been influenced by the subduction of the Philippine Sea plate, and that the effects of subduction of the Philippine Sea plate on the chemical composition of basaltic melts have had a decreasing effect from the Ryukyu island arc to East China.

油气、微生物与砂岩型铀矿形成关系研究——以东胜铀矿床和钱家店铀矿床为例

Sandstone-type uranium deposits are frequently found close to oil fields or uraniferous sandstones contain bitumen or petroleum. However, few evidence has been presented to indicate the association of uranium mineralization with petroleum oxidation. Thus, Dongsheng uranium deposit in Ordos Basin and Qianjiadian deposit in Kailu Basin are taken for examples to solve the puzzle. Integration data from sedimentary petrology, mineralogy, race elements geochemistry, isotope geochemistry and organic geochemistry, the uranium and petroleum sources, and diagenetic paragenesis of the host sandstone are analyzed, and then the genetic relationship between microbes, petroleum and uranium deposits are discussed. The observation under microscope shows that the host sandstone samples from Middle Jurassic Zhiluo Formation in the Dongsheng deposit contained different kinds of metamorphic rock fragments, which should have been derived form outcrops north to this basin. The LREE/HREE ratios of gneiss and amphibolite sampled from outcrops were close to the highest and the lowest LREE/HREE ratios of the sandstones with well-compared chondrite-normalized REE patterns, respectively. So these results consistently indicated that parent rocks of sandstones were mainly contributed from these two kinds of metamorphic rocks. There was very high Th/U ratio for granite gneiss, which was a mainly potential U resource. Hydrocarbon inclusions and adsorbed hydrocarbons are observed under fluorescence microscope in the host sandstone of Dongsheng uranium deposit, suggesting that the sandstones may have been utilized as oil migration pathways. Based on biomarker parameters, it is indicated that the inclusion oils and adsorbed hydrocarbons were marginally mature to mature, and were derived from humic-sapropel type organic matter under poor reducing freshwater to semi-saline environment. The features are similar to those of organic matter extracted from Triassic sandstone and source rock, but are different from that of cretaceous sandstone. Thus, it can be concluded that the inclusion oils and adsorbed hydrocarbons were mainly derived from Triassic lacustrine facies source rock. Observation results under Scanning Electron Microscopy and Electron Microprobe with Energy Spectrum Analysis show that, in Dongsheng area, the main uranium ore mineral is coffinite. The coffinite is intimately intergrown or coexists with pyrite and calcite, thus, the solution during mineralization stage is inferred to be alkaline. The alkaline environment is not favored for uranium to be pre-concentrated by absorption, and then be reduced abiogenetically. δ34S of pyrite and δ13C of calcite indicate that pyrite was formed by bacterial sulfate reduction (BSR) and part of the carbon of calcite has been dirived from oxidation of petroleum, respectively. Additionally, petroleum is found biodegraded. All the lines of evidence consistently indicate that petroleum was involved in uranium mineralization. Coffinite with microbe-like structures is found in the high U sandstone samples and is composed of nanoparticles, indicating the coffinite is biogenic. The conclusion are also supportted by laboratory experiment studies, which have shown that SRB are capable of utilizing U(VI) as the preferred electron acceptor for respiration and reduce U(VI) to U(IV) directly, coupled the oxidaton of organic matter and sulfate reduction. Based on the research results mentioned above, in the Dongsheng area, coffinite is likely to have formed by mixing of brine containing petroleum derived from Triassic with uranium-bearing meteoric water from outcrops north to Ordos Basin. SRB utilize hydrocarbon as carbon source, and directly reduce U(VI) resulting in precipitation of coffinite. The product of metabolism, H2S and CO2, was precipitated as pyrite and calcite during mineralization stage. Petroleum in fluid inclusions and adsorbed type in host sandstone from Lower Cretaceous Yaojia Formation in Qianjiadian uranium deposit, Kailu Basin, are derived from Jurassic Jiufotang Formation in this basin and the uranium mineral consists mainly of pitchblende. The δ34S and δ13C values of pyrite and calcite during mineralization stage indicate SRB have likely degraded petroleum, which is similar to that of Dongsheng deposit. The alkaline environment as indicated by the diagenetic mineral assemblage calcite, Fe dolomite, pyrite and pitchblende deposit suggests that U ore in the Qiangjiajiadian has a similar origin, i.e., direct reduction by SRB. However, less part of pitchblende is intergrown with kaolinite, suggesting the solution during mineralization stage is acidic. The environment is favorable for U(VI) to be adsorded on quartz or other mineral, and then reduced by H2S produced by SRB. Thus, it can be concluded that U(VI) reduction with petroleum oxidation by SRB and other microbes is an important ore-forming mechanism in petroleum-related sandstone-type uranium deposits. The finding is significant in that it provides a theoretical basis for exploration of both uranium and petroleumr.

中国北方风成堆积的风化作用与环境变迁—U-Th、~(10)Be及元素地球化学的研究

The surface of the Earth is continuously undergoing changes as a result of weathering-erosion, plate tectonics and volcanic processes. Continental weathering-erosion with its complex rock-water interactions is the central process of global biochemical cycling of elements, and affects the long-term ocean atmosphere budget of carbon dioxide both through the consumption of carbonic acid during silicate weathering and through changes in the weathering and burial rates of organic carbon. Rates of the weathering-erosion depend on a variety of factors, in particular rock properties and chemical composition, climate (especially rainfall), structure, and elevation. They are quite variable on a regional scale. Thus, environmental changes in a region could be indicated by the history of weathering-erosion in the region. Recent attention has focused on increased silicate weathering of tectonically uplifted areas in the India-Asia collision zone as a possible cause for falling atmospheric CO_2 levels in the Cenozoic era. The wind blown dust deposits in the Loess Plateau is derived from the arid and semiarid regions in northwestern China, in turn, where the deposits have been derived from the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau and the high mountains around. Therefore, geochemistry of the wind blown loess-paleosol and red clay sequences may provide insight both to paleoenvironmental changes on the Loess Plateau, and to the uplift and weathering-erosion histories of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau. In this paper, uranium-thorium series nuclides and cosmogenic ~(10)Be have been employed as tracers of weathering intensities and histories of the dust sediments in the Loess Plateau. Major elements, such as Na, Al, Fe etc., are also used to estimate degree of chemical alteration of the dust sediments and to rebuild the history of weathering on the Loess Plateau. First of all, using a low-level HPGe γ-ray detector, we measured U and Th series nuclides in 170 loess and paleosol samples from five sites in the Loess Plateau, going back 2.6 Ma. The results show that ~(238)U activities are disequilibrium with its daughter nuclide ~(230)Th in young loess-paleosol sequence, indicating that weathering was happened both in dust deposition site and in dust source regions. Using concentrations of ~(238)U and ~(232)Th in the samples, we estimated the amounts of ~(238)U leached out of from paleosols due to weathering. Further, based on analyses of ~(230)Th in paleosols deposited in the past ca. 140 ka, we determined when the paleosols weathered in the source regions. We conclude that most of the weathering in the dust-source regions may have occurred during the interglacials before dust deposition.

吐哈盆地砂岩型铀矿含矿主岩沉积体系及地球化学特征

吐哈盆地位于哈萨克斯坦板块的东端，与邻国盛产可地浸砂岩型铀矿的中新生代盆地处于统一类型的板块，同属中亚构造－成矿域。吐哈盆地也是我国可地浸砂岩型铀矿的第二个勘查基地。对吐哈盆地砂岩型铀矿的主要含矿建造－中下侏罗统水西沟群沉积体系类型的研究，将有助于区内对砂岩型铀矿成矿和容矿的主要沉积建造的地质认识。而对含矿主岩的地质地球化学研究，则能为区内砂岩型铀矿的成矿作用研究提供依据。在对吐哈盆地形成演化历史分析的基础上，通过对早中侏罗世盆地沉积建造的资料综合、野外调查和室内研究，针对可地浸砂岩型铀矿的地质特征、形成条件等，围绕建造-构造、构造-改造、改造-成矿作用的关系等问题，从区域地质构造背景、沉积体系类型分析和构造变形特征等宏观研究入手，到对钻孔岩芯的微观分析研究，特别是在对十红滩铀矿区的重点解剖的基础上，结合光谱信息提取与增强技术的应用，甄别含矿建造的地质特征及其时空分布格局，对吐哈盆地砂岩型铀矿主含矿岩系的沉积体系类型及其地球化学特征的研究得到以下认识： 1. 吐哈盆地中下侏罗统水西沟群的沉积体系类型包括：冲积扇沉积、辫状河沉积、辫状三角洲沉积系和湖泊沉积。而吐哈盆地十红滩铀矿区砂岩型铀矿的含矿主岩的沉积体系类型则为源自南部觉罗塔格山的辫状三角洲沉积体系。 吐哈盆地十红滩铀矿区砂岩型铀矿的含矿主岩是在盆地短轴方向上的局部性水动力条件和沉积环境下形成的一套以近源短距离搬运形成的粗碎屑沉积建造。这套建造及其沉积体系类型与整个湖盆地的泛湖沉积作用在时间和空间上发生叠置。正是因为不同沉积体系类型在时间和空间上发生叠置，从而导致中下侏罗统的地层总体走向与砂砾岩等粗碎屑沉积体的整体走向有显著的差异。沉积建造的这种空间展布格局对砂岩型铀矿的形成具有重要的控制作用。总体上，这一特点决定了与砂岩型铀矿成矿作用有关的含铀流体的运移方向、规模和铀成矿作用的区域分布和空间展布。 2. 鉴于吐哈盆地中下侏罗统不同沉积体系类型的区域分布和空间展布特征，以及内陆沉积盆地的沉积作用具有相似的沉积格局，建议在查明有利于砂岩型铀矿成矿的砂体所属沉积体系类型的基础上，按沉积体系类型划分沉积单元进行地层的划分与对比，将这一方法运用于内陆沉积盆地的地层划分对比，便于对砂岩型铀矿成矿的最基本控制因素“砂体”的宏观控制，从而为砂岩铀矿成矿作用分析、区域成矿预测和资源勘查提供直接依据。因此，正确区分泛湖水动力体系的区域性沉积系统及其沉积体系和局部性水动力体系的局域性沉积系统及其沉积体系，不仅具有地层学上的意义，更具有实际应用价值。 3. 吐哈盆地艾丁湖斜坡带中下侏罗统的构造变形特征存在明显的空间差异。主要表现为：在横向上，沿艾丁湖斜坡带由东往西不同地段构造形迹不同；在纵向上，不同层位的变形特点各异。总体表现为：以十红滩铀矿区为中心，往东以水西沟群上部第三岩性段（J2x3）的构造反转、逆冲而出现断裂构造为主。中部十红滩一带以水西沟群下部第一层位（J2x1）的宽缓褶皱为主。往西以西山窑组中部第二岩性段（J2x2）较为强烈的地层褶皱为特征。说明中下侏罗统形成之后，遭受过区域性的构造改造。 4. 对钻孔砂岩样品的岩石学研究和显微构造观察表明，十红滩铀矿区含矿砂体最为常见的碎屑有石英、长石（钾长石为主，少量斜长石）、云母以及花岗质岩屑、变质岩岩屑、少量火山岩岩屑，偶见沉积岩岩屑；砂岩中的填隙物主要有高岭石、水云母、绿泥石以及碳酸盐类矿物和少量铁质矿物。胶结物通常为碳酸盐、硅质及一些铁质物质。胶结类型主要有基底式胶结、孔隙式胶结和压嵌式三种类型。且砂岩中存在多期次构造－流体改造的迹象。在整体上，含矿砂体与无矿砂体构造－流体改造的类型相近，但其改造程度各不相同。含矿砂体主要表现为微构造裂隙发育，并有多期次硅质、碳酸盐充填和交代、溶蚀现象。含有石英、高岭石、绿泥石等新生矿物；不含矿砂体则以绿泥石化普遍，碳酸盐化作用强为主要特征。 样品中的蚀变矿物出现微晶黑云母、绿泥石－绿帘石－石英共生矿物组合，出现脆韧性显微构造变形等，预示这套含矿建造曾经遭受过一定程度的构造热变质作用。 5. 钻孔岩芯砂岩样品的稀土、微量元素地球化学特征表明，十红滩铀矿区的砂岩具有统一的物质来源。其稀土配分型式与蚀源区花岗质岩石的稀土配分型式相似。区域氧化作用造成砂体矿物蚀变的同时，也造成砂岩中稀土元素的分馏，且氧化蚀变越强，稀土元素的分馏作用也越明显。与晚元古代黑色页岩平均值相比，十红滩铀矿床钻孔中砂岩Zr和Hf的含量普遍偏高，特别是Hf，大部分样品中的Hf含量均高于晚元古代黑色页岩平均值。 zk32-11-2、zk96-4、zk96-7、zk80-6四个钻孔岩芯的砂岩样品稀土元素特征值δEu，在不同深度的各砂岩中变化较大。无论是单孔还是在钻孔之间，δEu值都表现为跳跃式的变化，且整体上分流河道砂岩中δEu值偏低。相对于δEu值，δCe和TE（1，3）值似乎表现出一定的变化规律。总体上表现为在与泥岩、泥质粉砂岩呈互层产出的三角洲前缘砂岩中，具有较为相近的δCe和TE（1，3）值。而分流河道砂体的δCe和TE（1，3）值相对变化较大，且整体上数值偏小。这些样品稀土元素特征值δEu、δCe和TE（1，3）所表现出的特点与砂体的沉积体系类型分析以及相应的岩石学特点基本吻合。说明不同沉积系统的各类沉积体系，不仅在时空展布上存在差异，砂体的结构及物质组成也存在一定的差异。 6. 根据中下侏罗统不同沉积体系类型在吐哈盆地全域范围的时空配置以及遥感地学的区域氧化还原条件分析，并与十红滩铀矿区相比较，吐哈盆地西部阿拉沟口、柯尔碱一带和了敦隆起西缘的鄯善－小草湖一带，具有和十红滩铀矿区类似的沉积历史、建造特征和区域氧化－还原条件，可以作为进一步开展砂岩型铀矿成矿预测和资源勘查的地段。 7．吐哈盆地的砂岩型铀矿与中亚各国重要的可地浸砂岩型铀矿在盆地类型、含矿主岩的沉积体系、含矿主岩的时代等方面有一定的差异，而其盆地类型及含矿主岩的沉积体系与美国怀俄明地区的可地浸砂岩型铀矿，特别是温得河盆地的砂岩型铀矿的特点较为相似。 8. 遥感信息提取和地学分析，可以提供区域性氧化－还原环境的区域分布信息，甚至可以为寻找潜在有利含矿砂体的空间展布提供依据；借助GIS平台，充分利用3S技术的集成与应用，可望为北方干旱地区可地浸砂岩型铀矿成矿条件分析、远景预测和找矿靶区的快速圈定乃至进行资源勘查的实际工作部署提供新的可操作技术平台。 在取得这些认识的同时，也深感还有不少问题需要进一步补充工作和深入探讨。特别是有关砂岩型铀矿的矿物学和地球化学方面尚有许多现象目前还不能给予很好的解释；对于存在的多次构造－流体的改造作用机理、多期次构造－流体活动之间的相互联系及其与铀矿化的关系；对流体的性质、来源和流体与砂体之间的相互作用关系等还有大量工作需要补充和深入。虽然已获得大量有关砂岩的稀土、微量元素的数据，但对这些数据的处理方法有限，对于其反映的与区内砂岩型铀矿成矿作用有关的信息有待进一步挖掘。另外，由于未能采集到砂岩铀矿的矿石样品，针对铀矿床方面的工作未能开展。

岩石圈伸展对粤北下庄矿田铀成矿的制约机制研究

地球动力学与成矿关系的研究是地球科学研究的前沿领域，而陆内岩石圈伸展与成矿的关系的研究则是该领域相对比较薄弱的环节。 华南地区于白垩—古近纪发生了岩石圈强烈的伸展减薄事件，且岩石圈伸展减薄与该区同时期形成的众多金属和非金属矿床有密切的成因联系，尤其是华南地区的花岗岩型热液铀矿床，显示了与该区岩石圈伸展作用可能有多方面的成因联系。粤北下庄铀矿田位于位于南岭铀-多金属成矿带的南部，是华南地区典型的花岗岩型热液铀矿区，本次研究在深入细致的野外地质工作的基础上，运用流体包裹体地球化学、元素地球化学、同位素地球化学等方法手段，开展了对下庄铀矿田成矿流体性质、成矿过程中元素的活动规律、成矿流体来源及演化等方面的系统研究，初步探讨了岩石圈伸展对该区铀成矿的制约机制，并建立了可能的矿床成因模式。通过研究，本次工作获得了以下几点主要认识： （1）通过对下庄铀矿田部分铀矿床流体包裹体显微测温、激光拉曼光谱及液相成分分析研究，查明了下庄矿田铀矿床矿前期热液属中高温（200℃~350℃）、低盐度（0.72%~5.95%NaCl）、密度中等（0.703~0.830g/cm3）、活动深度较深（2.29km~5.74km）、富∑CO2、相对还原性质的流体；成矿期热液属中低温（主要为154℃ ~250℃）、低盐度（0~1.83%NaCl）、密度中等（0.628~0.867g/cm3）、活动深度较浅（0.19km~1.62km）、富F-、相对氧化性质的流体。 （2）矿石矿矿物电子探针测试分析及岩、矿石的微量元素地球化学分析研研究表明，本区铀矿床主要的原生铀矿物为沥青铀矿、铀石、钛铀矿，铀矿物的形成与Si、Ca、W等元素有密切的关系，而其它金属元素未显示明显地富集。矿石、脉石矿物部分继承了原岩的稀土元素组成，且在原岩基础上又有高度的演化。 （3）进行了矿区内碳酸盐的C、O同位素和黄铁矿的He、Ar稀有气体同位素的分析研究。研究表明，矿化剂∑CO2主要为幔源，大量的He、Ar等稀有气体也来自于地幔。矿区发育的深大断裂构造可能控制了幔源挥发份的加入。 （4）脉石矿物碳酸盐和萤石的Sr、Nd同位素地球化学研究显示，成矿流体中的这些元素主要源于地壳，南区矿床（338、339）的Sr、Nd组成则为富含壳源Sr、Nd的流体与幔源基性脉岩不同程度的水—岩反应所致。另外，碳酸盐铅同位素研究显示，下庄矿区成矿物质铀可能来自帽峰式后期流体交代的花岗岩体。 （5）岩石圈伸展与下庄矿田铀成矿有关系密切：下庄矿田铀矿床明显受伸展构造控制，伸展构造既为导矿构造，又为储矿构造；岩石圈伸展导致的地温梯度升高，大地热流平均值加大，驱动热液流体的流动，为铀成矿提供了主要的热驱动力；岩石圈伸展产生的深大断裂导通了壳幔间的联系，使幔源脱气成因挥发份（主要为∑CO2）沿断裂上升，加入壳源热水循环系统，从而参与了铀成矿。 （6）初步建立了下庄矿田“岩石圈伸展体系下大陆热水系统铀矿床成因模式”。模式认为，华南地区白垩—古近纪岩石圈伸展作用引发区内热水流体的大规模循环，且伸展引起的幔源脱气作用产生的挥发份（主要为ΣCO2）加入了贫铀、贫矿化剂的循环的地下热水中，形成了富矿化剂热水。富矿化剂热水从富铀花岗岩中浸出铀（氧化作用），变为富矿化剂、富铀热液流体，这种热液流体在伸展引起的热驱动下沿构造上升，热液流体上升到浅部时，由于地球化学障、流体压力释放等因素的影响，U被还原沉淀，并在有利部位富集成矿。

地幔去气与铀成矿的关系——以江西相山火山岩型铀矿为例

江西相山铀矿床，位于中生代赣一杭火山岩带相山火山塌陷盆地内，是中国目前发现的最大的火山岩型铀矿床，其独特的成矿环境及成矿机理为国内外地质界所瞩目。本论文主要运用岩石学、构造学寸流体包裹体地球化学、同位素地球化学、热力学方法，从相山铀矿床的成矿构造演化、成矿流体、岩石蚀变特征、成矿物质同位素组成特征以及热力学计算等方面对地慢去气特征、过程以及其与铀矿化的关系进行了详细的研究。本研究取得了以下主要认识：1、构造活动对成矿过程起到重要作用。区域深大断裂构造、慢源岩浆活动和碱交代蚀变作用，是相山铀矿田地（量去气作用产生的地慢流体参与成矿作用的有利条件和证据。2、热力学计算表明成矿期前成矿热液pH值为9．50，呈碱性；成矿期前，UO2（CO3）22-、UO2（Coa）44-两种形式迁移的U占总U的99.96％，即矿床中成矿期前的铀主要是以这两种形式迁移的。3、氦一氢同位素研究表明，相山铀矿床的成矿流体由富CO2和3He的慢源流体与贫CO2的大气成因流体混合而成。相山铀矿床成矿热液中的CO2总体属于慢源碳，主要是由地慢或分布在铀矿床中的漫源基性脉岩提供的，而且大部分是在地壳拉张作用期间由地慢去气作用产生而上升形成了成矿热液。4、相山铀矿田成矿期前的流体包裹体中气泡较大，气体含量较高，表明包裹体捕获时压力较大；成矿期和成矿后的包裹体中气泡较小，并存在大量的纯气相包体，通过激光拉曼分析测得的物相峰值极低，表明包体中所包含组分的含量极低。而且大量成矿期纯气相包体的发现也说明其是在去气过程中捕获的从成矿热液中释放出的气体。从成矿期前到成矿期后，CO2含量减小的变化。也说明了成矿作用中发生了减压去气过程。5、在铀成矿过程中，共发生了两次去气作用。第一次地慢去气作用产生并把C仇带入到成矿热液中，第二次成矿流体去气作用正好相反把CO2从成矿热液中带出。地慢去气作用产生富CO2+H2O的地慢流体运移到地壳浅部与大气降水混和，富含矿化剂的成矿溶液由此可以有效地从赋矿围岩（中酸性火山岩和盆地基底地层）中萃取出成矿所需的U。第一次地慢去气作用产生的富CO2+H2O的地慢流体为成矿提供了最充足的矿化剂（CO2），是成矿作用得以发生的最基本最重要的条件。
