摘要

众所周知,位于土耳其西北部的古新世色雷斯盆地长期以来一直蕴藏着经济的天然气和石油资源,最近又有报告称,该盆地的渐新世 Süloğlu 地层中可能蕴藏着砂岩型铀矿床。后一项发现提出了盆地铀矿化的来源和沉积机制问题。这篇论文报告了对 Süloğlu 地层中四个砂岩样本和一个泥岩样本中的碎屑石英进行详细的电子顺磁共振(EPR)光谱研究的结果,并利用微束同步辐射 X 射线荧光图(μsXRF)和微束 X 射线近缘结构光谱(μsXANES)记录了铀的分布和种类。石英分离物的 EPR 光谱以诊断性辐射诱导缺陷(即:硅空穴中心)的存在为特征、硅空穴中心 H′3、H′4 和 H′7(gmax 分别为 2.049、2.034 和 2.018),以及氧空穴电子中心 E′1)。此外,用氢氟酸部分溶解石英分离物后,其 EPR 光谱中硅空穴中心的强度明显下降,这为色雷斯盆地的含铀流体循环提供了有力证据。μsXRF和μsXANES数据揭示了在部分取代黄铁矿聚集体的赤铁矿中存在U6+和U4+混合物种,但在Süloğlu地层砂岩中的散粒黄铁矿和伊利石中则主要存在U4+。这些结果为铀的迁移、还原和沉积机制提供了新的见解,对于更好地理解砂岩型铀矿床的总体情况和色雷斯盆地的进一步勘探具有重要意义。

Uranium mineralization in the Thrace Basin, NW Türkiye: Evidence from radiation-induced defects in detrital quartz and synchrotron XRF/XANES analysis

The Paleogene-Neogene Thrace Basin in northwestern Türkiye has long been known to host economic gas and oil resources and has recently been reported to potentially host sandstone-type uranium deposits in the Oligocene Süloğlu Formation. The latter discovery raises questions about the source and deposition mechanism of uranium mineralization in the basin. This contribution reports on the results of a detailed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic study of detrital quartz from four sandstone and one mudstone samples in the Süloğlu Formation and documents the distribution and speciation of uranium using combined microbeam synchrotron X-ray fluorescence maps (μsXRF) and microbeam X-ray near edge structure spectroscopy (μsXANES). The EPR spectra of quartz separates are characterized by the presence of diagnostic radiation-induced defects (i.e., silicon-vacancy hole centers H3, H4, and H7 with gmax = 2.049, 2.034, and 2.018, respectively, and the oxygen-vacancy electron center E1), formed by the bombardment of alpha particles emitted from uranium, thorium, and their unstable progenies. Moreover, notable decreases in the intensity of silicon-vacancy hole centers in the EPR spectra of quartz separates after partial dissolution with hydrofluoric acid, provide compelling evidence for the circulation of uranium-bearing fluids in the Thrace Basin. The μsXRF and μsXANES data reveal the occurrences of mixed U6+ and U4+ species in hematite partially replacing pyrite aggregates but dominantly U4+ in disseminated pyrite and illite in sandstones of the Süloğlu Formation. These results provide new insights into uranium transport, reduction, and deposition mechanisms, with important implications for better understanding sandstone-type uranium deposits in general and further exploration in the Thrace Basin.

期刊介绍: Journal of Geochemical Exploration is mostly dedicated to publication of original studies in exploration and environmental geochemistry and related topics. Contributions considered of prevalent interest for the journal include researches based on the application of innovative methods to: define the genesis and the evolution of mineral deposits including transfer of elements in large-scale mineralized areas. analyze complex systems at the boundaries between bio-geochemistry, metal transport and mineral accumulation. evaluate effects of historical mining activities on the surface environment. trace pollutant sources and define their fate and transport models in the near-surface and surface environments involving solid, fluid and aerial matrices. assess and quantify natural and technogenic radioactivity in the environment. determine geochemical anomalies and set baseline reference values using compositional data analysis, multivariate statistics and geo-spatial analysis. assess the impacts of anthropogenic contamination on ecosystems and human health at local and regional scale to prioritize and classify risks through deterministic and stochastic approaches. Papers dedicated to the presentation of newly developed methods in analytical geochemistry to be applied in the field or in laboratory are also within the topics of interest for the journal.
