It is thus crucial to characterize the geochemistry of elements and their flux in river system in order to better constrain their global biogeochemical cycling and impact on the oceanic ecosystem. However, the geochemical behavior including the distribution, migration and partitioning of typical metal elements amongst different phases, during hydrodynamic flood event remains still to be well explored. Here, we investigated the geochemical behaviors of typical metal elements in dissolved phase and suspended particulate matter collected from a single flood event in the natural Chishui River, Southwest China. The results showed clearly that the geochemistry of metal elements was largely controlled by the hydrodynamic effect, of which the different flowrates introduce a natural sorting of different mineral particles transported at different flood stages, depending on their shape, size and density. The maximum concentrations of alkaline and alkaline earth metals (Li, Mg, K, Rb and Sr) in SPM appeared before the flood peak, which was largely controlled by aluminosilicate minerals. However, transition metals (Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni and Cu) showed their abundance peaks lagging behind the flowrate summit, as a result of the late arrival of coarse particles or heavy minerals, evidenced by the mineralogical phase analysis. In addition, the distribution coefficient (<i>K</i><sub><i>d</i></sub>) between particulate and dissolved loads were lower and stable for soluble alkali/alkaline earth metals which could be affected by pH, while higher and fluctuant for transition metals that were largely influenced by SPM content. Overall, the present study reveals clear effects of hydrodynamic sorting on the geochemistry of metal elements during the flood event of the natural Chishui River, which should be taken into account when characterizing the riverine flux and their impact on marine ecosystem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7151,"journal":{"name":"Acta Geochimica","volume":"44 2","pages":"373 - 386"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143749261","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 results indicate that the granite porphyry formed between 87.5 and 87.4 Ma in the Late Yanshanian period.

This study, rooted in comprehensive field investigations in the Manas River Basin (MRB) north of the Tianshan Mountains, delves into the mechanisms and impacts of sulfuric and carbonic acid as catalysts driving different types of chemical weathering in the Central Asian Orogenic Belt. Quantitative analyses elucidate that carbonate weathering constitutes 52.4% of the total chemical weathering, while silicate and evaporite account for 18.6% and 25.3%, respectively, with anthropogenic activities and atmospheric precipitation having little effect. The estimated total chemical weathering rate in MRB is approximately 0.075 × 10<sup>6</sup> mol/km<sup>2</sup>/year. Quantitative findings further suggest that, preceding carbonate precipitation (< 10<sup>4</sup> year), chemical weathering can absorb CO<sub>2</sub>. Subsequently, and following carbonate precipitation (10<sup>4</sup>–10<sup>7</sup> year), it will release CO<sub>2</sub>. The release significantly surpasses the global average CO<sub>2</sub> consumption, contributing to a noteworthy climate impact. This study underscores the distinctive weathering mechanisms, wherein sulfuric acid emerges as the predominant catalyst. The quantity of sulfuric acid as a catalyst is approximately three times that of carbonic acid. Sulfuric acid-driven carbonate rock weathering (SCW) is identified as the sole chemical weathering type with a net CO<sub>2</sub> release effect. SCW CO<sub>2</sub> release flux (5176 mol/km<sup>2</sup>/year) is roughly 2.5 times the CO<sub>2</sub> absorption by Ca–Mg silicate weathering, highlighting the pivotal role of chemical weathering in sourcing atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> over the timescales of carbonate precipitation and sulfate reduction.

It has been previously studied petrologically, but its petrogenesis has remained poorly known. Petrographic and whole-rock geochemical data presented in this article highlight their magma genesis and geodynamic evolution. The BSP consists of medium- to coarse-grained syenites associated with minor microdiorites, which occur as syn-plutonic dikes and mafic microgranular enclaves (MME) coarse- and medium-grained syenites outcrop respectively to the core and the border of the BSP. The syenite displays high-K and alkaline to trans-alkaline affinity.

Negative Nb and Ta anomalies indicate that this mantle source was modified by the addition of subduction-related material. Th/Yb ratios associated with high Ba/La ratios indicate that enrichment of the source could be related to slab-derived fluids.

Its emplacement took place in two successive stages: a static stage of fractional crystallization and crystal settling in a deep magma source and a dynamic stage in a shear deformation setting during which stratified magma rises towards the upper crust, with evolved syenite magma being emplaced first and diorite later.
