This study extensively investigated Ra co-precipitation through both indoor lake experiments and field investigations of saline lakes. 1) In the indoor experiments, calcium ions (Ca<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2+</ce:sup>) concentration remained stable under high-salinity conditions, while barium ions (Ba<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2+</ce:sup>) showed a marked and continuous decline. Ra is less likely to co-precipitate with Ca minerals but has a higher tendency to co-precipitate with Ba sulfates. However, field investigations provided limited support for co-precipitation based on water chemistry. Variations in Ca<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2+</ce:sup> and Ba<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2+</ce:sup> with total dissolved solids (TDS) in saline lakes showed no significant correlation, and both calcite and Ba sulfates may precipitate from solution. Thus, water chemistry profiles can provide an initial assessment of potential co-precipitation occurrences. 2) Our study revealed the responses of four Ra species in high-salinity solutions. Within the selected salinity range, the activity of long-lived Ra significantly decreased, and the calculated precipitation rates indicated their co-precipitation with minerals. Although the co-precipitation signals of short-lived Ra may be obscured by desorption and rapid decay, reasonable calculations confirm that they also underwent co-precipitation. The co-precipitation of all Ra species may be attributed to the compression of the anti-ionic diffusion layer around particles under high-salinity conditions. The molar ratio of Ra to Ba in Ba sulfates is significantly higher than that in gypsum and calcite (Ra/Ca), indicating the probably dominant role of Ba sulfates in co-precipitation. Additionally, variations in Ra/Ba ratios and concentrations of Ba and SO₄<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2−</ce:sup> across these systems further elucidate the control exerted by Ba sulfates on Ra co-precipitation. 3) Previous studies have focused primarily on Ra co-precipitation mechanisms in groundwater and controlled experimental systems, while research on other high-salinity environments, such as saline lakes, remains limited. Findings from our saline lake systems further confirm the prevalence of Ra co-precipitation and provide important insights for other high-salinity natural systems (e.g., the Dead Sea) and polluted environments (e.g., mining sites) where Ra co-precipitation constraints may differ from those in saline lakes. In saline lake systems, salinity/TDS regulate mineral saturation indices (SI) by modulating Ra desorption and SO₄<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2−</ce:sup> levels, thereby controlling (Ra, Ba)SO₄ formation, while the effects of pH and temperature are relatively minor.

The usual technique combining acid digestion and mass spectrometry analysis is slow, costly and non-ideal for spatially resolved analyses. When carbonates are processed using laser calcination and the gas produced during calcination is analyzed by infrared spectrometry, the time required for isotopic analysis is reduced to around 15 min to analyze 30 mg of carbonate in situ. Although the time saved is significant, it is hardly reasonable to carry out a high-resolution isotopic mapping of large samples. A fully resolved isotopic mapping, for example, of a sample with 25 cm<ce:sup loc=\"post\">2</ce:sup> surface area at resolution of a tenth of a millimeter, would require a continuous measurement carried out for a month. The aim of this study is, therefore, to explore possible strategies for constructing an isotopic map with a minimum number of analyses. Two approaches are pro-posed: (i) a mathematical approach that seeks to establish a correlation between the position of the sample and the carbon or oxy-gen isotopes, and (ii) an approach that looks for a correlation between the color (spectral characteristics) of the sample surface subdomains and their isotopic compositions. The choice of the second approach stems from the assumption that color contains a priori information about geological or geochemical processes. Several algorithms were developed and tested, notably using artificial intelligence tools. To testify the isotopic maps produced by these algorithms, posteriori isotopic measurements are taken and compared with the predictions from computed isotopic maps.","PeriodicalId":9847,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Geology","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142678956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined SDOM molecules from one of the largest peri-urban mangroves and adjacent tidal flats in China by using techniques like absorption fluorescence spectroscopy and ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry. We found that SDOM in mangroves differs significantly from that in non-mangrove ecosystems. The presence of mangroves created higher levels of N- and S-containing SDOM molecules with depth and exhibited higher lability. However, the suboxic mangrove sediments may limit microbial activity, promoting labile SDOM preservation. Mangrove litter also contributed to the formation of carboxyl-rich alicyclic molecules in sediments, potentially transforming into biologically refractory SDOM that acts as OC sinks. As the understanding of molecular fingerprints of SDOM in mangroves is still at early stages, these findings provide molecular-level evidence that mangrove sediments promote the OC sequestration through preservation and transformation processes. This study offers crucial insights into the role of SDOM in carbon sequestration and the method could be applied into other blue carbon ecosystems.","PeriodicalId":9847,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Geology","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142678718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, recent discoveries pertaining to the prevalence of anoxic oceans, particularly the well-documented Paleo-Tethyan Ocean, would challenge this hypothesis. In order to address this matter, we studied representative primitive high-Mg igneous rocks (HMIRs) from the Yulong PCDs belt in Northern Qiangtang terrane of Tibet. These alkaline rocks are emplaced in a post-subduction setting after the closure of Paleo-Tethyan Ocean. In this study, we use newly generated in-situ mineral analyses on representative samples, together with meticulously reviewed and recalculated literature data, to elucidate the mechanism by which the oxidation process operated in the mantle source of these Cenozoic rocks. Our findings suggest that these post-subduction HMIRs exhibit characteristic compositions resembling those of continental crustal rocks and carbonatites.

Furthermore, through the application of zircon oxybarometry and existing experimental constraints, we have successfully identified the significance of oxidized mafic basement and overlying carbonates within the Songpan-Ganze terrane as influential oxidizing agents. Through detailed examination of geochemical and seismic data, we explore that these oxidizing agents are responsible for the formation of the oxidized HMIRs and copper mineralization.

Late sulfide minerals with low Sm/Nd values (the ¹⁴⁷Sm/¹⁴⁴Nd ratio is often in the range of 0.02–0.07) are associated with an increased mobility of Nd relative to Sm, resulting in a relative excess of Nd compared to Sm in these sulfides. Simultaneously, early sulfides, which are deposited during the magmatic stage of ore formation, typically exhibit higher Sm/Nd values (the ¹⁴⁷Sm/¹⁴⁴Nd ratio is frequently above 0.07). Additionally, Sm<img>Nd isotope data for sulfide minerals were used to date ore-forming processes in two Cu-Ni-PGE complexes—Nyud-II (Monchegorsk area, Russia) and Ahmavaara (Finland). The Sm<img>Nd ages of syngenetic and metamorphic ore from these complexes were determined. Syngenetic ores formed at 2496 ± 36 Ma (Nyud-II) and 2441 ± 93 Ma (Ahmavaara), while metamorphic ores formed at 1940 ± 32 Ma (Nyud-II) and 1904 ± 24 Ma (Ahmavaara).

During its interaction with meteoric and hydrothermal fluids, biotite can be transformed into various types of clay minerals (mostly, interlayer-deficient biotite, vermiculites and smectites). These transformations can cause fractionation of the alkaline trace-element ratios Rb/Li, Cs/Li and Rb/Cs between biotite and its replacement products. This study examines the mineral transformations that occur when biotite interacts with aqueous and saline fluids and the poorly understood geochemical behaviour of the resulting phyllosilicates. For this purpose, we performed batch hydrothermal experiments of the interaction of biotite + quartz ± graphite with ultrapure H&lt;ce:inf loc=\"post\"&gt;2&lt;/ce:inf&gt;O, and 2 M NaCl, 2 M CaCl&lt;ce:inf loc=\"post\"&gt;2&lt;/ce:inf&gt; and 1 M NaF brine fluids at 170 °C and 10 bar using Teflon bombs, and at 550 °C and 800 to 1400 bar using autoclave apparatus. At &lt;ce:italic&gt;lower-T conditions&lt;/ce:italic&gt;, biotite was replaced by 2:1 trioctahedral clay minerals (interlayer-deficient biotite, smectite, vermiculite, and other phyllosilicate species with higher interlayer charge) and Fe oxy-hydroxide minerals by coupled dissolution-precipitation mechanisms. At &lt;ce:italic&gt;higher-T conditions&lt;/ce:italic&gt;, these mechanisms caused the transformation of biotite into the mineral assemblages (quartz ± graphite): diopside + anorthite + titanite (CaCl&lt;ce:inf loc=\"post\"&gt;2&lt;/ce:inf&gt; brine experiments), albite + ilmenite + clay minerals (NaCl brine experiments), and cryolite + alkali feldspar with albite rimmed by K-feldspar + Fe-oxides (NaF brine experiments). Therefore, a significant reduction of the clay mineral stability in the presence of NaF and CaCl&lt;ce:inf loc=\"post\"&gt;2&lt;/ce:inf&gt; brine fluids is inferred. The biotite replacements by phyllosilicates were mostly controlled by the ion exchange of K&lt;ce:sup loc=\"post\"&gt;+&lt;/ce:sup&gt; by H&lt;ce:sup loc=\"post\"&gt;+&lt;/ce:sup&gt; (or its hydrate state H&lt;ce:inf loc=\"post\"&gt;3&lt;/ce:inf&gt;O&lt;ce:sup loc=\"post\"&gt;+&lt;/ce:sup&gt;), hydrated Na&lt;ce:sup loc=\"post\"&gt;+&lt;/ce:sup&gt; and Ca&lt;ce:sup loc=\"post\"&gt;2+&lt;/ce:sup&gt;, and NaF in the interlayer site.

We utilized major element, trace element and in-situ B isotope analyses of tourmaline to investigate the effects of magmatic fractional crystallization and magmatic volatile phase (MVP) exsolution on Li migration and exceptional Li enrichment. Eight types of tourmaline are identified across three rock units: (i) Isolated (Tur Ia) and nodular (Tur Ib) tourmaline within muscovite leucogranites; (ii) black tourmaline in veins and/or clusters (Tur IIa), as isolated crystals (Tur IIb) and in tourmaline-quartz segregations (Tur IIc) within Li-poor pegmatites; and (iii) tourmaline as isolated pink crystals with zoning patterns (Tur IIIa), as isolated pink crystals and/or radiating clusters (Tur IIIb), and as isolated crystals enclosed in quartz block (Tur IIIc) within Li-rich pegmatites. Tourmaline in Mufushan muscovite leucogranites and Li-poor pegmatites belongs to the alkali-group and schorl series with Mg/(Mg + Fe) ratios of 0.10–0.31 and 0.12–0.48, respectively, containing almost no Li* and F (apfu, based on X + Y + Z = 15). In contrast, tourmaline in Li-rich pegmatites exhibits schorl-elbaite and elbaite-rossmanite compositions with low Mg/(Mg + Fe) ratio (avg. = 0.01), and evolved Li* (0.01–0.90 apfu, avg. = 0.41 apfu) and F (0.00–0.91 apfu, avg. = 0.36 apfu) contents.

The concentration of Li exhibits a sharp increase in Li-rich pegmatites (avg. Li = 6786 ppm) compared to Li-poor pegmatites (avg. Li = 114 ppm) and leucogranites (avg. Li = 469 ppm). Lithium contents increase and reach a peak during the crystallization of Tur IIIb (6686–11,667 ppm), and have lower peak contents during the precipitation of Tur IIIc (8261–9160 ppm), indicating that the incorporation of Li is influenced by MVP accumulation and exsolution. MVP exsolution significantly reduces the solubility of Nb, Ta, and Be in the residual melt, promoting the precipitation of beryl and columbite group minerals and facilitating the migration of fluid-mobile elements such as Li, Rb, Cs, and Ga to form lepidolite.

These successions are crucial components of early continental crust, and unravelling their respective petrogenetic relations is important for understanding the evolution from mafic to felsic crust. This study presents detailed investigations of zircon U<img>Pb age and Hf isotope data from the Bonai TTG/gneiss-granite Suite, and the overlying Tamperkola high-K granite and rhyolite Suite. Our results indicate concurrent crystallization of the Bonai TTG gneiss (3316 ± 9 Ma), associated porphyritic high-K granite (3299 ± 9 Ma), and their amphibolite enclaves (3325 ± 9 Ma) with older, inherited zircon grains intercepting at 3586 ± 25 Ma. The entire Bonai Suite yields an overall juvenile Hf isotope composition (ɛHf_(t) = −1.7 to +4.6, 95 % ɛHf_(t) &gt; 0). Combined with the mantle-like Hf isotope signatures of the inherited zircons grains (ɛHf_(t) = +1.7 to +6.2), this indicates a Hf isotope evolution array with a mafic crustal ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf ≈ 0.022. Considering that these grains represent the source of the TTGs, this implies lower crustal residence of ca. 300 Myr of the mafic precursor rocks. The Tamperkola high-K magmatic suite yields a crystallization age of 2810 ± 8 Ma with subchondritic Hf isotope composition (ɛHf_(t) = −3.2 to −0.6). This Tamperkola Suite plots on the Hf isotope evolutionary array defined by the Bonai Suite and its mafic precursor, suggesting remelting of the Bonai (transitional) TTGs to produce these high-K granitoids in an internal reworking process. Our new and published data yield a threefold crustal evolution with (i) initial formation of the mafic crust at ca. 3586 Ma, (ii) subsequent residence for ca. 300 Myr and crustal reworking at ca. 3316–3299 Ma to form TTGs and (iii) their melting at ca. 2810 Ma to form high-K magmas. This succession of re-melting of igneous rocks drove the transition from mafic to felsic continental crust in the Singhbhum Craton. Given the consistent lithological sequence of predominantly mafic greenstone rocks, TTG-granite suites, and high-K granites observed across global cratons, this Paleo-Mesoarchean process likely reflects the order of crustal maturation in the Archean continental crust.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":9847,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Geology","volume":"671 ","pages":"Article 122483"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142652394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
