东海榴辉岩向斜长角闪岩的转化过程

The Ultrahigh Pressure Metamorphic (UHPM) eclogite, which was resulted from deep subduction of crustal continent, is very significant due to its continental dynamic implications. Further more, this kind of rocks experienced great P-T, fluid and stresses changes during its forming and exhumation, causing mineral reactions occur intensively, which resulted in a lot of fantastic micro-texture. The micro-texture was preserved duo to a rapid exhumation of the eclogite. This PhD dissertation takes such micro-textures in 10 Donghai eclogite samples South Sulu UHPM terrene, as research object to reveal the transformation of the eclogite to amphibolite. Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope were employed to observe the micro-texture. Basing on microprobe analysis of minerals, the ACF projections and iso-con analysis were used to uncover the mineral reactions during the transformation. Micro-texture observation (both of Microcopy and Electron Scanning Microscope), demonstrated: l.The peak mineral assemblage of the researched Donghai eclogites is garnet + omphacite + rutile (+ kyanite + aptite +coesite). 2.The transformation of the Donghai eclogite to amphibolite can be divided into two stages: The earlier one is Symplectization, resulting in the forming of diopside + albite (+magnetite) symplectite that occurred only along the boundary between two adjacent omphacite grains. Other minerals were not involved in such reaction. The latter stage is Fluid-Infiltration of the eclogite, which was caused by fluid-intrusion. The infiltration is demonstrated by amphibolization of the symplectite, decomposition of garnet and the forming of some hydrous minerals such as phengite and epidote, and resulted in an amphibole + plagioclase + phengite + epidote or ziosite assemblage. Basing on microprobe analysis of the minerals, ACF projections indicated: In the ACF diagrams, the two joint lines of peak Grt + Omp and Dio + Ab crossed at Omp projection-point, indicating that the garnet had not taken part in the forming reaction of the Dio + Ab symplectite, just like that had been pointed out by micro-texture observation. In the ACF diagrams, the hornblende + plagioclase + epidote + phengite quadrilateral intersected with Dio + Ab + Grt triangle, demonstrating that the hydrous mineral assemblage was formed by fluid infiltration through garnet, diopside and albite. Iso-con (mass-balance) analysis of the symplectization and infiltration reveals: 1.The symplectization of the omphacite has a very complex mass exchange: Some symplectite gained only silicon from its surroundings; and some one requires Ca, but provides Na to its surroundings; while other symplectite provides Ca, Mg and Fe to its surroundings. 2.The infiltration cause variable mass exchanges occurring among the garnet, diopside and albite: In some eclogite sample, no mass, except H2O, exchange occurred during the infiltration. Meanwhile, there was not any hydrous mineral except hornblende formed in the sample accordingly. In some samples, the mass exchange among the three minerals is complex: amphibolization of the diopside in a symplectite gained Al from garnet, and provided Si and Ca to its surrounding, resulting in a Si, Ca and Al-rich fluid. Correspondingly, there was a lot of phengite and ziosite occurred in the sample. In other samples, the amphibolization of a symplectite provided Fe and Mg besides Si and Ca to its surrounding while gained Al. In such kind of sample, epidote occurred within the hydrous mineral assemblage. Synthesizing the micro-texture observation, ACF analysis and iso-con analysis, we deduced the transformation procedure as following: 1. A symplectite after an omphacite was resulted by one, or two, or all of following mineral reactions together: Jd (Ca-Tsch) +SiO2=Ab (An) (1) 4NaA IS i.A+CaO=2NaAlS i308+Na20+CaAl2S 1208 (2) 2NaAlSi2OB (Jd in Omp)+CaMgSi;,0B(Dio in Omp)-2NaAlSi:,O"(Ab)+Ca0+Mg0 (3) 2(CaAl2Si0fi) (Ca-tsch in Omp)+CaFeSi2O6(Hed in 0mp)-H>2CaAl2Si208(An)+Ca0 + FeO (4) A CO2-rich fluid is suggested as cataclysm for the above reactions, which largely increased the mobility of Ca, Mg and Na resulted from reaction (2), (3) and (4). The immobile product Fe2* combined with rutile to form ilmenite, resulting in rutile + ilmenite symplectite. Or, the Fe was precipitated as hematite locally. A procedure of the fluid infiltration as following is suggested: I .A hydrous fluid intruded into the eclogite, and reacted first with garnet to form hornblende and extra Al, resulting in a hornblende film around the garnet grain and an Al-rich fluid. 2.The Al-rich fluid infiltrated through the symplectite, OH" and part of the Al in the fluid combined with Dio while some Si and Ca in the Dio were dissolved made the Dio transferred to amphibole. Meanwhile, plagioclase-type cation exchange occurred between the fluid and plagioclase in the symplectite, making the plagioclase have a higher An-content. 3.Above infiltration and cation exchange resulted in an Al, Si, Ca (and K, providing the primary hydrous fluid contain K)-rich fluid. 4.Under suitable conditions, the solute in the fluid precipitated to form phengite firstly. After the K element in the fluid was consumed up, ziosite or epidote was formed. If the fluid did not contain any K. element, only ziosite or epidote was precipitated. For those eclogites, where all omphacite had been replaced by symplectite before infiltration, neither element exchange occurred, nor did phengite or epidote form during the infiltration. At the last stage, the garnet was oxidized and breakdown: garnet + H2O = epidote + hornblende + hematite, due to more and more fluid intruding into the eclogite. At this time, all the peak minerals were replaced by amphibolite-phase ones, and the eclogite transformed to an amphibolite completely. Tentative pressure calculation indicates that the infiltration occurred at 3-6kbar (about 10-20km depth), where the deformation mechanics transformed from brittle to ductile yield. At such depth, the surface water can permeate the rocks through fault system, causing a rapid cooling.

甘肃金川Ⅱ号岩体辉石化学特征及其地质意义

金川Ⅱ号岩体主要由二辉橄榄岩和硫化物橄榄岩构成，单斜辉石和斜方辉石为岩相中主要造岩矿物，单斜辉石含量一般高于斜方辉石。矿物间的结构关系表明主要造岩矿物的结晶顺序为：橄榄石-斜方辉石-单斜辉石-斜长石。单斜辉石的TiO2，Al2O3，Cr2O3和Na2O质量分数依次为：0．29％～1．26％、3．17％～3．59％、0．86％～1．14％、0．29％～0．57％，斜方辉石的TiO2，Al2O3，Cr2O3和Na2O质量分数普遍低于单斜辉石，依次为：0．16％～0.40％、1．85％～2．38％、0．48％～0.68％、0．03％～0．10％。元素间的相关关系显示辉石的类质同像置换方式为：^MIFe^2＋ ＋2Si=^MITi＋2^IVAl,^MIFe^2＋ ＋Si=^MIFe^3＋ ＋^IV Al,Fe^3＋和Ti进入矿物晶格置换Fe^2＋来平衡Al置换Si产生的正电价差。两种辉石较低的TiO2，Al2O3和Na2O质量分数显示出母岩浆为拉斑玄武岩浆的特征。二辉石温度计和单辉石温度计算表明斜方辉石的结晶温度下限和单斜辉石结晶温度上限大致在1146℃～1166℃之间，单斜辉石的结晶一直持续到1032℃或者更低。金川Ⅱ号岩体单斜辉石演化明显表现出向透辉石端员偏离，暗示岩浆在结晶分异过程中，可能与富钙质围岩发生了同化混染作用.

晋北高岭石及其热产物的矿物物理学研究

通过对晋北地区高岭石及其热产物的研究，笔者主要得到了以下几点结论：1、晋北煤矸石是一种优质的高岭石，Fe、Ti含量低，结晶度高，晶体主要呈片状形态，具有较好的开发前景，应打破仅仅局限于陶瓷工业的局面。而P-1高岭石因Fe、Ti含量高，质量差。2、在高岭石受热脱羟过程中，部分羟基一直到850℃才完全脱失。3、在高岭石-莫来石反应系列中，存在SiO_2与Al_2O_3的分凝，SiO_2与Al_2O_3反应生成莫来石是莫来石的主要形成途径，Al-Si尖晶石与SiO_2反应生成莫来石只是一个次要途径。4、在高岭石热处理产物的研究中首次测到了-70ppm附近的Al-Si尖晶石的~(29)Si MAS NMR谱峰，Al-Si尖晶石是一个不稳定相，存在的温度范围大约为850-1000℃，随着温度升高，它将转变为莫来石。5、高岭石的980℃放热峰归因于在高岭石受热相变过程中，莫来石、方英石、γ-Al_2O_3的晶出。6、在煤矸石中，Fe主要以Fe~(2+)置换Al~(3+)形式存在，其次是部分Fe~(2+)被吸附在高岭石表面；而在P-1高岭石中，Fe主要以Fe~(3+)、Fe~(2+)置换Al~(3+)及杂质氧化物的形式存在。7、以前国内一些学者提出的所谓新矿物—“偏岭石”，笔者认为很可能是高岭石受煤自然烘烤形成的变高岭石。

The interaction of polyacid-modified composite resins ("compomers") with aqueous fluoride solutions

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate how the release of fluoride from two compomers and a fluoridated composite resin was affected by exposure to KF solution. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Two compomers (Dyract AP and Compoglass F) and one fluoridated composite (Wave) were prepared as discs (6 mm diameter and 2 mm thick), curing with a standard dental lamp. They were then stored in either water or 0.5% KF for 1 week, followed by placement in water for periods of 1 week up to 5 weeks total. Fluoride was determined with and without TISAB (to allow complexed and decomplexed fluoride to be determined), and other ion release (Na, Ca, Al, Si, P) was determined by ICP-OES. RESULTS: Specimens were found not to take up fluoride from 100 ppm KF solution in 24 h, but to release additional fluoride when stored for up to five weeks. Compomers released more fluoride cumulatively following exposure to KF solution (p<0.001), all of which was decomplexed, though initial (1 week) values were not statistically significant for Dyract AP. Other ions showed no variations in release over 1 week, regardless of whether the specimens were exposed to KF. Unlike the compomers, Wave showed no change in fluoride release as a result of exposure to KF. CONCLUSIONS: Compomers are affected by KF solution, and release more fluoride (but not other ions) after exposure than if stored in water.

A peculiar metal-rich star, HD 135485

Local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) absolute and differential abundances are presented for a peculiar metal-rich B-type star, HD 135485. These suggest that HD 135485 has a general enrichment of similar to0.5 dex in all the metals observed (C, N, O, Ne, Mg, Al, Si, P, S, Cl, Ar, Sc, Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe and Sr), except for nickel. The helium enhancement and hence hydrogen deficiency can account for less than or equal to 0.2 dex of this enhancement of metals, with the additional enhancement probably being representative of the progenitor gas. However, some of the metals appear to have greater enhancements, which may have occurred during the star's evolution. The significantly larger nitrogen abundance coupled with a modest helium enhancement observed in HD 135485 indicates that carbon- nitrogen (CN) processed material has possibly contaminated the stellar surface. Neon and carbon enhancements may indicate that helium core flashes have also occurred in HD 135485. Some of the iron-group elements (viz. Mn and Ni) appear to have similar abundance patterns to that of silicon Ap stars, but it is uncertain how these abundance patterns formed if they were not present in the progenitor gas. From a kinematical investigation it is unclear whether this star formed in a metal-rich region as implied by its chemical composition. From its position in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, HD 135485 would appear to be an evolved star lying close to or on the horizontal branch.

Enhancement of the stability of microporous silica films in non-aqueous solvents at elevated temperature

The effect of Al incorporation and pH adjustment during hydrolysis of the silica precursor on the thermal and structural stability of ordered microporous silica films with a 2D structure is presented. The structural stability of the films was determined from a combination of LA XRD/TEM data with porosity data obtained from ethanol adsorption isotherms. Thermogravimetric analysis and MR data were used to determine the template removal and the thermal stability. Stability of aluminium incorporated silica films has further been examined in several organic solvents with different polarity. A solvent with a higher polarity interacts more strongly with the films; the long-order structure disappeared after exposure to polar solvents. After exposure to non-polar solvents, the pore size uniformity was retained after 48 h. The samples with an Al/Si ratio of 0.007 showed the smallest d-spacing shift after exposure to hexane. The stability was further tested in the hydrogenation of phenylacetylene performed in a batch reactor over 1 wt.% Pd/Si(Al)O-2/Si (Al/Si = 0.007) films at 30 degrees C and 10 bar H-2 with hexane as solvent. No deactivation was observed in two subsequent hydrogenation runs. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Laser assisted directional solidification of zirconia-based eutectics

Directionally solidified zirconia-based eutectic (DSE) fibres were obtained using the laser floating zone (LFZ) method. Two systems were investigated: zirconia-barium zirconate and zirconia-mullite. The purpose was to take advantage of zirconia properties, particularly as an ionic conductor and a mechanical rein-forcement phase. The influence of processing conditions in the structural and microstructural characteristics and their consequences on the electrical and mechanical behaviour were the focus of this thesis. The novel zirconia-barium zirconate eutectic materials were developed in order to combine oxygen ionic conduction through zirconia with protonic conduction from barium zirconate, promoting mixed ionic conduction behaviour. The mi-crostructure of the fibres comprises two alternated regions: bands having coarser zirconia-rich microstructure; and inter-band regions changing from a homogeneous coupled eutectic, at the lowest pulling rate, to columnar colony microstructure, for the faster grown fibres. The bands inter-distance increases with the growth rate and, at 300 mm/h, zirconia dendrites develop enclosed in a fine-interpenetrated network of 50 vol.% ZrO2-50 vol.% BaZrO3. Both phases display contiguity without interphase boundaries, according to impedance spec-troscopy data. Yttria-rich compositions were considered in order to promote the yttrium incorporation in both phases, as revealed by Raman spectroscopy and corroborated by the elemental chemical analysis in energy dispersive spectros-copy. This is a mandatory condition to attain simultaneous contribution to the mixed ionic conduction. Such results are supported by impedance spectrosco-py measurements, which clearly disclose an increase of total ionic conduction for lower temperatures in wet/reduction atmospheres (activation energies of 35 kJ/mol in N2+H2 and 48 kJ/mol in air, in the range of 320-500 ºC) compared to the dry/oxidizing conditions (attaining values close to 90 kJ/mol, above 500 ºC). At high temperatures, the proton incorporation into the barium zirconate is un-favourable, so oxygen ion conduction through zirconia prevails, in dry and oxi-dizing environments, reaching a maximum of 1.3x10-2 S/cm in dry air, at ~1000 ºC. The ionic conduction of zirconia was alternatively combined with another high temperature oxygen ion conductor, as mullite, in order to obtain a broad elec-trolytic domain. The growth rate has a huge influence in the amount of phases and microstructure of the directionally solidified zirconia-mullite fibres. Their microstructure changes from planar coupled eutectic to dendritic eutectic mor-phology, when the growth rate rises from 1 to 500 mm/h, along with an incre-ment of tetragonal zirconia content. Furthermore, high growth rates lead to the development of Al-Si-Y glassy phase, and thus less mullite amount, which is found to considerably reduce the total ionic conduction of as-grown fibres. The reduction of the glassy phase content after annealing (10h; 1400 ºC) promotes an increase of the total ionic conduction (≥0.01 S/cm at 1370 °C), raising the mullite and tetragonal zirconia contents and leading to microstructural differ-ences, namely the distribution and size of the zirconia constituent. This has important consequences in conductivity by improving the percolation pathways. A notable increase in hardness is observed from 11.3 GPa for the 10 mm/h pulled fibre to 21.2 GPa for the fibre grown at 500 mm/h. The ultra-fine eutectic morphology of the 500 mm/h fibres results in a maximum value of 534 MPa for room temperature bending strength, which decreases to about one-fourth of this value at high temperature testing (1400 ºC) due to the soft nature of the glassy-matrix.

Biogeoquímica do manganês, ferro, cobre e cádmio em sedimentos da Ria Formosa

A Ria Formosa é uma laguna costeira de características mesotidais, situada na costa Sul de Portugal, que apresenta pronunciadas variações sazonais de temperatura e radiação luminosa. As extensas zonas intertidais desta laguna são inundadas pela maré duas vezes por dia ficando, por isso, também sujeitas a flutuações semidiurnas de temperatura, pressão e radiação luminosa. Estas condições podem afectar os equilíbrios físico-químicos existentes no sedimento. Foi elaborado um esquema de amostragem de sedimentos em suspensão e de fundo em diversos locais da zona intertidal da Ria Formosa em duas escalas de tempo distintas: (a) uma escala sazonal, com o objectivo de estudar a influência das variações anuais de temperatura e os mecanismos por si desenvolvidos na composição elementar dos sedimentos; (b) ao longo de alguns minutos durante a inundação dos sedimentos pela água da maré, com objectivo de estudar o efeito da maré nos equilíbrios físico-químicos existentes no interior do sedimento. Nos sedimentos recolhidos sazonalmente foi medida a temperatura, o pH e o potencial redox, determinado o conteúdo em matéria orgânica e os teores de Al, Si, Mn, Fe, Cu e Cd na fracção sólida. Na água intersticial foram determinadas as concentrações de Mn(II), Fe, Cu e Cd totais dissolvidos. Nas amostras de água intersticial colhidas durante a inundação dos sedimentos foram determinadas as concentrações de Cl-, Mn(II), Fe(II), Fe(III), Cu e Cd totais dissolvidos. A variação do teor de cloretos na água intersticial indicou que a inundação dos sedimentos intertidais pela maré causa infiltração da água através da superfície do sedimento e movimentos de água intersticial no seu interior. Estes movimentos de fluídos ocorreram preferencialmente nas camadas de maior permeabilidade. As alterações ao equilíbrio dinâmico da água intersticial foram mais intensas nos primeiros 28 minutos de inundação, diminuindo ao longo do tempo. Os processos físicos acima referidos provocaram a exportação de Mn(II), Fe(III), Cu e Cd totais dissolvidos da água intersticial para a coluna de água e simultaneamente induziram a oxidação das espécies reduzidas de manganês e de ferro. O Mn(II) foi oxidado a Mn(IV) na camada superficial dos sedimentos e, também, exportado para a coluna de água. A oxidação do Fe(II) a Fe(III) ocorreu, por sua vez, no interior do sedimento numa curta escala de tempo (<7 min.), saindo para a coluna de água uma pequena porção de Fe(III). Estas alterações, provocadas pela inundação dos sedimentos intertidais, mascararam eventuais variações sazonais das concentrações de Mn e Fe na fracção intersticial dos sedimentos. Os perfis de Cu e Cd totais dissolvidos na água intersticial mostraram a existência de várias zonas de mobilização nos primeiros 4 cm de sedimento. A mobilização de Cu não apresentou uma variação sazonal enquanto que as concentrações de Cd mostraram um incremento no Verão. Neste período, o cálculo de fluxos difusivos indicou uma intensificação dos processos de transferência destes metais através da interface sedimento-água relativamente aos existentes no interior do sedimento. Os fluxos difusivos de Cu foram uma ordem de grandeza inferiores ao transporte advectivo associado à inundação pela maré, enquanto que para o Cd as estimativas dos fluxos difusivos e do transporte advectivo foram comparáveis. Em suma, os resultados obtidos mostraram que a distribuição destes elementos na água intersticial é reflexo do regime de transporte-reacção induzido pela inundação dos sedimentos intertidais, sendo para o Fe mais importantes os processos de reacção, enquanto que para o Mn, Cu e Cd os transportes advectivos são mais rápidos do que as reacções. Com base nestes resultados é proposto um modelo para os ciclos de Mn, Fe, Cu e Cd nas zonas intertidais de lagunas costeiras.
