The δ 34 S V – CDT ( − 1.4 to 2 ‰ ) and Δ 33 S ( − 0.001 to − 0.13 ‰ ) values of these carbonatite samples (n = 7) overlap with the S isotope compositions of Earth ’ s mantle. Additionally, the δ 13 C V – PDB and δ 18 O V – SMOW values of these carbonatites also show overlapping compositions to that of Earth ’ s mantle. Based on these mantle – like stable isotopic compositions of carbonatites along with their higher crystallization temperature (~ 600 °C) compared to a hydrothermal fl uid (<250 °C), we suggest that the sul fi de minerals in these carbonatites were formed under a magmatic condition. The mantle like signatures in the δ 34 S, δ 13 C – δ 18 O, and 87 Sr/ 86 Sr values of these carbonatites rule out possible crustal contamination. Coexistence of the sul fi de phase (pyrrhotite) with magnesite in these carbonatites suggests that the sul fi de phase has formed early during the crystallization of carbonatite magmas under reducing conditions. Overall restricted variability in the δ 34 S values of these samples further rules out any isotopic fractionation due to the change in the redox condition of the magma and re fl ect the isotopic composition of the parental melts of the Newania carbonatite complex. A compilation of δ 34 S of carbonatites from Newania and other complexes worldwide indicates limited variability in the isotopic composition for carbonatites older than 400 Ma, which broadly overlaps with Earth ’ s asthenospheric mantle composition. This contrasts with the larger variability in δ 34 S observed in carbonatites younger than 400 Ma. Such observation could suggest an overall lower oxidation state of carbonatite magmas emplaced prior to 400 Ma.","PeriodicalId":51093,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68831174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scale precipitates at different physical and chemical conditions in each geothermal power plant as a result from a fluid–rock interaction for the specific conditions at each plant. Thus, it is important to understand the chemical characteristics and precipitation process of the scale from geothermal fluid. The information on the process of transportation of metals and its precipitation from hydrothermal fluid in general will be useful to understand the formation of hydrothermal ore deposit. In this study, we have examined the chemical characteristics of silica scaling from the Onuma geothermal power plant at Akita Prefecture, Japan. The scale consists of mainly amorphous silica and trace amounts of smectite, kaolinite, and euhedral pyrite. Chemical composition of silica scale indicates that Fe content scale shows positive correlation with Pb, Cu, and REE. These elements probably incorporate into pyrite in silica scale. The texture of pyrite suggests that pyrite is possible to crystalize prior to the growth of amorphous silica. Silica scale gradually changes its chemical composition from the production well toward the reinjection well. Concentrations of SiO2, Fe2O3, MgO, and MnO in silica scale significantly decrease toward to the reinjection well from the production well, and those of Al2O3, LOI, and alkali and alkali earth elements (Na2O, K2O, and CaO) increase toward to the reinjection well. Most of trace elements including REE in silica scale also significantly decrease toward to the reinjection well, and furthermore HREE decreases more extensively than LREE though alkali and alkali earth elements (Be, Rb, Sr, Cs, and Ba) increase toward to the reinjection well. The change of element concentration in silica scales can be utilized to understand the physical and chemical conditions in the pipes at the geothermal power plant.","PeriodicalId":51093,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68830955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The completely serpentinized ultrama fi c rocks (originally dunite) in the Taishir Massif in the Khantaishir ophiolite, western Mongolia, contain abundant antigorite + magnetite (Atg + Mag) veins, which show an unusual distribution of Mag. The serpentinite records multi – stage serpentinization in the order: (1) Atg + lizardite (Lz) with a hourglass texture (Atg – Lz); (2) thin vein networks and thick veins of Atg; (3) chrysotile (Ctl) that cuts all earlier textures. Mg# values of the Atg – Lz (0.94 – 0.96) are lower than those of the Atg (~ 0.99) and chrysotile (~ 0.98). In the Atg – Lz regions, magnetite occurs as arrays of fi ne grains (<50 µm) around the hourglass texture, and magnetite is absent in the thin Atg vein networks replacing Atg – Lz. Magnetite occurs as coarse grains (100 – 250 µm) in the center of some thick Atg veins. As the volume ratio of thin Atg veins to Atg – Lz increases, both the modal abundance of Mag and the bulk iron content decrease. These features indicate that hydrogen generation occurred mainly during Atg – Lz formation, and that the Mag distribution was largely modi fi ed by dissolution and precipitation in response to the in fi ltration of the higher temperature fl uids associated with the Atg veins. The transport of iron during redistribution of Mag in the late – stage of serpentinization is potentially important for ore deposit formation and modifying the magnetic properties of ultrama fi c bodies.","PeriodicalId":51093,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68830901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
