Abstract
Samples of siliceous rocks of the Southern Kambalny Central Thermal Field (SKC) containing a unique ore mineralization were studied. Optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis, X-ray diffraction, ICP-MS, and Raman spectroscopy were used in this study. High concentrations and a wide range of rare and rare-earth elements were found in siliceous rocks. Silicates (quartz, moganite, and opal-crystobalite/tridymite opal), oxides (hematite and anatase), hydroxides (goethite), carbonates (calcite with Fe and Mn impurities), sulfates (barite with Sr impurity and gypsum), sulfides (pyrite, marcasite, chalcopyrite, and chalcocite), phosphates (xenotime-Y, YPO4 with impurities of lanthanides, S, Ca, and As; berlinite, AlPO4 with the V impurity), and apatite were identified. Structures of anatase replacement by quartz often in association with pyrite were identified. The mineralization of SKC siliceous rocks reflects the physicochemical specificity of deep metal-bearing solutions.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Earth Sciences is a journal that publishes new research in Earth science of great significance. Initially the journal was a forum of the Russian Academy of Science and published only best contributions from Russia. Now the journal welcomes submissions from any country in the English or Russian language. Every manuscript must be recommended by Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
