摘要

从地气测量原理及其在隐伏铀矿找矿领域的应用研究等方面分析国内外学者在地气测量领域的研究成果,总结出目前研究存在的主要问题和不足,为下一步研究工作提供意见和建议。地气测量是20世纪80年代逐渐发展起来的一种新型隐伏矿产勘探方法,目前地气测量在隐伏铀矿找矿中还属于起步探索阶段。地气垂直上升过程中能够将矿体相关金属元素纳米颗粒携带至地表,从而在矿体垂直投影地表处形成元素异常晕,结合这些异常元素即能够反映出深部隐伏铀矿体(或其他金属矿产)相关信息。地气测量能探测覆盖层下深达千米尺度的隐伏矿体,可用于小比例尺勘查、大比例尺普查和详查阶段及矿体定位。现阶段,地气测量研究主要存在以下3个方面的不足:①对于迁移过程中穿透介质(覆盖层)特性的影响研究不够深入,没有建立完善的数学理论模型;②目前国内几乎没有较为准确、实用的地气测量模型,很难进行可控性、重复性和对比性的实验及理论研究,有必要建立一套较完善的实体模型,为地气测量机理研究提供实验平台和技术支持;③国内地气铀含量分析均采用实验室分析,分析成本高,为了推广地气测量在铀矿找矿领域中的实际应用,需要对捕集溶液以及取样、测量方案进行深入研究,制定出适合不同铀矿地质构造区的野外地气现场快速测量方法,实现野外地气现场快速、准确测量。

Abstract

The research achievements of geogas prospecting through the mechanisms of geogas prospecting and its applied research in the area of concealed uranium deposits prospecting were analyzed. Geogas prospecting is a new means of deeply concealed deposits exploration that started to develop gradually from the 1980s and is at an initial stage of research in concealed uranium deposits exploration. Furthermore, comments and suggestions were provided for following research work by summarizing the shortcomings and problems of current studies in this paper. A general upward micro-flow of geogas could carry the metal nanoparticles associated with ore body underground to the surface of earth to come into being anomaly halos of elements contents above the ore body, and with these anomaly halos, the relevant information of deeply concealed uranium deposits (or other classes of metal ore bodies) would be reflected. The depth that geogas measurement could achieve for prospecting concealed deposits under the covering layers is up to a thousand meter. Geogas prospecting can be used for investigating in small scales, surveying generally and in detail in big scales and locating the ore bodies. At the present stage, there are three primary under-mentioned problems in the studies of geogas prospecting: ①On the one hand, the researches of how mediums (covering layer) would affect the migration process of geogas are far from enough. On the other hand, appropriate mathematical theory models have not been set up yet. ②In China, there are currently few accurate and practical physical models for geogas prospecting to carry out controllable and repetitive series experiments as well as theoretical studies. It is essential that an appropriate physical model should be established timely in order to provide an experimental platform and a kind of technical assistance for the mechanism study of geogas prospecting. ③To achieve the aim of popularizing the geogas prospecting in the uranium exploration area, the research of trapping solution and sampling and measuring methods should be further developed and the methods of rapid geogas in-site measuring which are suitable for various geologic structures of uranium deposits should be made reasonably to cater to the need of rapid and accurate field measurement.

1 引 言

随着中国承诺的未来碳减排力度不断增大以及碳减排潜力的不断压缩,中国需要加大能源结构的调整力度,增大非化石能源的占比[1],这就使得作为一种绿色清洁能源的核能对铀资源的需求日益增大。随着找矿工作的不断深入,地表浅埋藏、易勘探的矿产资源越来越少,找矿难度日趋加大,寻找深部隐伏矿床已成为现在乃至今后找矿的热点和重点[2]。自20世纪80年代瑞典伦德科学技术学院和布利登矿业公司首次提出地气测量以来[3,4],这种新型隐伏矿床探矿方法得到国内外专家深入研究和大力发展,被广泛应用于油气资源勘探、金属资源勘探、铀资源勘探以及深部地质研究等领域[5~9]。随着我国铀矿找矿工作的不断深入,露头矿已所剩无几,为了保证铀矿资源的持续供给,我国现阶段的找矿重点将越来越多地向埋藏较深的隐伏矿倾斜。找矿目标和勘查环境的转变对勘查目标和模型提出了新的要求,在我国今后的找矿领域中需要对勘查技术、手段和地质研究的思路、方法进行实质性调整[10]

就目前来说,地气测量在国内外大多较成熟地应用于其他金属矿产的探矿工作,但很少见到铀矿勘探领域中开展地气测量研究的公开报道。由于地气携带至地表上的铀金属元素含量较少,隐伏矿化信息十分微弱,将有用的“微弱信号”从很强的“背景噪声”中提取出来难度较大[11],探矿机理尚不明确,缺乏野外快速测量的方法[12,13],在铀矿找矿行业内这种方法还属于发展、完善阶段,因此地气测量在寻找隐伏铀矿方面有着很大的潜力。其次,人们对于地气指示元素迁移规律和机理的认识不够深入[11],也没有充分研究环境参数、地层结构等诸多因素对地气指示元素迁移的影响机理,因此开展地气测量的机理和快速测量方法研究,不仅具有科学理论指导意义,更具有重大的工程实践意义。本文分别从地气测量原理以及地气测量在隐伏铀矿找矿领域的应用研究现状等方面着手,分析国内外学者对地气测量探矿的研究成果,总结出目前研究存在的主要不足和问题,为下一步研究工作提供参考依据。

2 地气测量方法及原理

2.1 元素迁移机理

1980年,Malmqvist等[14]研究氡气在岩石圈中迁移时发现了一种上升气流,其流速随着地层深度减小而减小,接近地表时流速已非常缓慢(3~5 cm/d),对于氡迁移来说这种上升气流作用强于扩散作用[4]。后来,国内外学者将这种上升气流载体命名为地气(geogas),其中主要气体成分与大气相似(含有78%的N2,21%的O2和1%的Ar),而地气成分主要有N2,O2,Ar,CH4以及少量的CO2和烃类[15,16]。在地球深部与地表大气之间压差作用下,深部地气会不断沿着基岩裂缝或裂隙向地表运动[17,18],其总体运动方向是从地核向地表垂直方向,速度主要受控于动力和通道阻力[19]

在大多数金属矿以及铀矿勘探领域,探矿人员或研究人员对这些地气介质本身并没有太大兴趣,感兴趣的是上升地气流通过矿床时所携带与矿体相关的指示元素形成的纳米颗粒。地层中的某种传输机制能够将不同的指示元素从矿体沿地层垂直方向或一定倾斜方向抬升至地表,从而在矿体上方能够形成多种元素异常,结合这些异常元素即能够反映出矿体深度[17,20](图1)。

不同元素其活动态形式和赋存介质不尽相同,如Au主要以超微细颗粒活动态存在,U 在干旱氧化条件下主要以铀酰络阳离子活动态存在,而Cu 主要以稳定形式存在[21]。但不管怎样,当粒子达到纳米粒度后其表面原子具有高活性,使其很容易吸收气体分子形成一层吸收层,从而使得地气及其携带纳米颗粒形成较强的扩散能力和迁移能力[22]。另一方面,异常元素颗粒种类与地下深部隐伏矿体种类有关,这些颗粒粒径在几纳米至几百纳米范围内,形状呈近似球形、椭球形、链形以及不规则形状[23,24]。对于指示元素来说,不同纳米颗粒特性导致每种元素的迁移能力不同,例如,Zn元素比Cu元素更易于迁移,而像Ga和In等稀有元素则具有极高的迁移能力[25]

2.2 地气采集及分析方法

根据有无气流驱动源,地气采样分为被动式(也称累积式)采集和主动式(也称抽气式)采集。在初期,国内外研究者采用被动式采集,主要由漏斗、捕集剂和保护装置三大部分构成(图2)。采样时将一个外径为25~30 cm的普通塑料漏斗倒扣在地下50~80 cm深处,漏斗管嘴处放置捕集剂;然后用保护罩对整个捕集器进行保护,防止土壤元素的影响;最后对整个装置进行掩埋覆盖,经过20~90天(一般2个月较为合适)后将其取出并送回实验室进行分析[17,25~27]

图2   被动式地气采样原理图

Fig.2   Schematic diagram of passive geogas sampling

由于分析方法不同,其中固体捕集剂也有所不同,通常采用聚苯乙烯薄膜[25]、镍网[24]、铜网[27]以及聚氨酯泡沫塑料等[28],不同矿体的地气采集应选取与之相适合的捕集材料。野外测量一般采用直线或网格方式进行布点,捕集器间距为5~400 m不等,对于大多数探矿工作来说,该间距采用20 m较为合理,对于异常区域可以进行适当加密[25]

鉴于被动式采样方法效率低、成本高、探测器易于丢失等缺点,20世纪90年代末,王学求[29]率先研制出了主动式地气采样装置,主要包含取样杆、过滤器、干燥器、捕集器以及抽气泵等部件(图3)。经过经验改进和优化设计,张必敏等[30]研发出了一种钻进与抽气一体式取样器,避免了塌孔的发生和大气物质的污染。过滤器与干燥器是为了防止土壤微颗粒以及土壤水蒸汽进入捕集剂,从而对捕集效果和测量结果产生影响。捕集剂应当具有捕获能力强、捕获效率高、易于获取、易于分析等特点[29],考虑到金属元素的溶解性质,捕集材料多为高纯度硝酸、王水等液体溶液,高纯液体捕集剂具有元素本底含量低、易操作、分析过程简单等优点[31]。不同的捕集溶液对地气中不同元素的捕获能力存在差异,例如,王水对Au,Ag,Cu,Zn等元素的捕获能力要强于硝酸[23]

根据实践经验,当经过一定抽气时间后,液态捕集剂所捕集的地气物质量不会随着抽气时间的延长而明显增加,推测原因为采样点单位体积内的地气物质量减少[32]。为进一步提高液体捕集剂的捕集效率,一个途径是适当增加抽气时间、减少捕集剂以外部分对金属元素的吸附;另一个途径则是在不增加捕集时间前提下以串联方式增加捕集瓶的数量[33]

图3   主动式地气采样原理图

Fig.3   Schematic diagram of active geogas sampling

采样时将取样杆插入土壤30~80 cm深处并做好密封处理,用硅胶管将其与过滤器、干燥器、捕集瓶、抽气泵(带流量计)依次连接好。打开抽气泵开始抽气,流量1~3 L/min,抽气时间2~60 min;捕集溶液及其用量按照不同隐伏矿对应配比(对于硝酸捕集剂,一般采用20~25 mL由BV-III级纯硝酸和去离子高纯水配制的、质量百分浓度为5%的溶液);采样结束后进行现场测量或送回实验室进行浓缩定容、分析[33~36]

被动式采集具有背景值波动小、探测灵敏度高、重现性好、异常幅度大且清晰等优点,但采样周期较长,捕获器易丢失,且需要用实验室高精度仪器进行分析;主动式采集最大优点在于现场完成地气取样,大大节约时间,同时也防止了样品丢失,但重现性较差,受气候、取样环境等因素影响较大[5,37]

对地气采样样品中的矿体指示金属元素的分析属于痕量分析,要求分析实验仪器背景噪声值低、检出限低。在目前研究现状下,样品分析主要在实验室完成,分析方法主要有质子激发X荧光光谱仪(PIXE)[17]、中子活化分析仪(INAA)[38]、等离子光质谱仪(ICP-MS)[31]、透射电镜(TEM)[23,24,27]、原子力扫描电镜(AFM)[38]等。这些方法联合使用,不仅能测量金属元素含量,还能研究地气中纳米颗粒的特性,但分析周期长、成本高、操作要求高。

2.3 影响地气测量结果的因素

根据前人研究结果可知[39,40],采用主动式采集方式时,晴天采样测量结果中元素含量要高于雨天采样测量结果;高气温有利于地气采集,但会降低地气中的纳米颗粒含量;同时空气湿度越低,元素含量越高;土壤中的湿度、pH值、有机质、氢氧化铁凝胶及其他带电粒子也会对地气测量结果产生重要影响。

3 地气测量应用研究现状

3.1 理论、模型研究现状

自20世纪80年代Kristiansson等[3,4]提出地气测量理论以来,国内外已有诸多学者对地气测量用于金属矿产探矿进行了理论和试验研究,但从查阅文献来看,相关研究主要集中在国内,这与我国对金属、铀矿产的需求以及现阶段探矿技术有关。

20世纪90年代末,童纯菡等[38,41]通过小型模型和野外测量研究了地气测量机理,证明了地球内部存在垂直运移的上升气流,极强的穿透能力使得上升气流及其携带的纳米颗粒能够穿透岩层、黏土覆盖层,从而在矿体垂直投影地表处形成金属元素异常晕。Malmqvist等[26]在地气测量机理中引入了一个与微气泡形成深度成一定比例关系的深度参数,并且从地面二维测量信息中抽取出了地下矿体的空间三维信息。Zhou等[42]建立了稳定和非稳定的三维物理数学模型,结果表明,在迁移过程很长的情况下,喷射晕特征对于地下物质的空间分布起决定性作用。Klusman[43]利用数值计算模型与实验测量研究了非饱和空间内土壤气体浓度分布及痕量气体和固体粒子的输运机理,该计算模型可以对扩散迁移进行建模。

模型研究方面,杨亚新[28]和刘庆成等[44]制作了简易的砂岩型铀矿地气测量模型,模拟了砂岩型铀矿床上方形成的地气异常,为可地浸砂岩铀矿的野外地气勘探提供了一定的实验依据。在新疆某铀矿床进行的试验研究结果表明,可地浸砂岩型铀矿床上方能够形成清晰的地气异常。刘晓辉等[45]、唐桢等[46,47]和周四春等[48]利用温度梯度作为模拟地气驱动源建立了一个直径16 cm的铅锌矿地气测量模型,研究了地气流作用下铅锌矿及围岩中多种元素迁出现象及规律,发现围岩会影响矿体中元素的迁移,但其影响程度不会掩盖矿层形成的地气异常,并且不是所有样品中与成矿“关系密切”的元素都会在矿体上方出现地气异常。

3.2 隐伏金属矿勘探中地气测量研究现状

王学求[29]在某隐伏金矿进行的地气测量结果表明矿体上方确实有“气态金”的存在,并且“气态金”的含量与地表土壤中的金无关而与活动态的金有关,这部分“气态金”可能是以某种途径从深部迁移至地表。Kelley等[49]测量研究了土壤气体中CO2,Rn,He,Hg以及硫化物等成分,认为土壤中气体散布情况与金属富集可能存在某种联系,这些地气成分可用于隐伏矿体勘探。

综合运用地气测量法以及放射性物探方法在判别地气异常类型及圈定潜在隐伏矿的研究和应用中有重要的意义。唐桢等[50]建立了隐伏矿异常和非矿异常模型,在此基础上利用逐步判别分析方法结合稀土元素地球化学图解法捕获到了HSP 地区隐伏金属矿的地气和物探异常,为该区域是否存在隐伏金属矿床的位置确认提供了科学依据。赵春江[51]在广东省长排铀矿勘查区、广西自治区南丹县大厂矿务局铜坑矿 95 号矿体实验区对隐伏铀矿和铜锌矿2种矿体产生的地气异常场基本特征进行了研究,初步建立了以X荧光分析等放射性方法和轻便电法快速圈定异常及找矿区域、以地气法对找矿靶区进行确认的快速找矿模式,且证明地气测量可以有效捕获地面以下 800~1 000 m深度矿体的信息。梁维天[52]在吉林某金矿勘查区结合地气测量和多功能综合测井2种方法,先对勘查线进行地气采集测量,后根据地气异常区位置交叉布置测井位置,对目标地区进行平面以及纵深勘查,对异常范围进行立体三维圈定。Yuan等[36]通过纯化捕集器、控制取样环境、改进取样设备和取样方法,极大程度上降低了干扰元素的影响,成功地找到了一个200 m厚的Ag矿化体。周四春等[48]在粤北隐伏花岗岩铀矿、桂北隐伏锌铜矿和湘南坪宝地区先后开展了地气测量探测隐伏金属矿研究及应用,室内实验及多个矿区、不同矿种地气勘探结果表明:隐伏金属矿正上方均有成矿主元素及一系列共(伴)生元素地气异常,这种异常随矿体埋深增大而增大;地气法探测隐伏金属矿的有效深度可以达到千米尺度,且地表污染不会对地气测量产生影响;地气测量方法对于不同类型、不同地区的隐伏金属矿探测具有普遍的有效性。

3.3 隐伏铀矿勘探中地气测量研究现状

近几年来,随着隐伏金属矿勘探中地气测量技术日益成熟,我国核工业行业内学者逐渐将地气测量应用到铀矿勘探中,为深部隐伏铀矿勘探建立一种有效的探矿方法。由于地气形成和测量原理基本相同,因此大部分其他隐伏金属矿地气测量方法中的测量原理、采样分析等研究成果都适用于隐伏铀矿地气测量。但由于地气中的铀含量是痕量级,铀矿地气测量受外界影响因素又较多,加之地气迁移机理研究还不够成熟,对未知的隐伏矿床在解释地气异常时,需要结合该矿床的地质和物化探资料,才能综合分析各种异常。

王勇等[53]研究认为,隐伏热液型铀矿上方表层土壤中存在的穿透性亚微米级含U 微粒与深部矿石中含U微粒存在密切的联系。地气测量方法能够在隐伏热液铀矿上方显示出清晰有效的U 及成矿伴生元素异常, 能够有效指示深部矿化信息,在热液型铀矿勘查中具有良好的发展前景。

王学求等[54]对吐鲁番—哈密盆地十红滩隐伏铀矿床的土壤剖面取样分析结果表明,铀在氧化环境下转换成铀酰离子会被黏土矿物吸收并累积到异常浓度,因此富黏土地区细粒土壤(0~30 cm深)为干旱地区识别深埋铀矿床提供了理想的取样介质。利用该方法,他们发现了一个埋深300 m的铀矿找矿靶区,证明在世界上其他沙漠地区利用土壤中的富黏土来探测铀矿资源是有效的。姚文生等[55]在东胜砂岩型隐伏铀矿区开展深穿透地球化学勘查方法实验结果表明,细粒级土壤中的黏土矿物对铀酰络阳离子具有吸附作用,铀在土壤中细粒级物质中有富集的趋势,可形成地球化学障捕捉从深部铀矿迁移上来的元素信息,可作为区域深穿透地球化学的砂岩型铀矿找矿指标。周四春等[56]在广东仁化长排铀矿的地气中发现隐伏铀矿体上方会呈现明显的地气铀、伴生元素以及稀土元素异常,并且地气测量的铀异常中心与隐伏铀矿体中心具有垂直投影关系。赵辉[57]对广东仁化花岗岩型铀矿的地气异常特征研究后建议,对产状陡、厚度薄的花岗岩型铀矿的地气测量需要将测点点距加密到 10 m(一般的金属矿体的地气测量测点点距为 20 m),在重点研究区域,需要将点距加密到 5 m。张国亚[58]、张文宇等[59]以及胡波等[60]在粤北某铀矿勘查区联合使用地气测量与伽玛能谱测量2种方法,发现伽玛能谱铀含量异常区域均存在地气铀异常,并根据这些异常预测出了具有较好找矿前景的异常区,并建议在进行野外微弱地气铀异常采样时,需要将液态捕集剂进行串联以增大地气的捕获效率。

对于示矿元素来说,矿化现象的显示多为多元素集合,而非单一元素富集,这些元素集合除含有成矿元素异常外,还含有与成矿元素相伴生的一些其他元素异常,从而构成隐伏矿体的地球化学异常[61]。成矿指示元素研究方面,赵峰等[62]在粤北某花岗岩铀矿勘查区对2条勘探线开展的地气测量试验表明,U,Mn,Sr和Zn等地气异常在矿体上方或矿体边缘位置有不同程度的显示,且U异常与Mn,Sr,Eu,Cu,Pb,Zn,Ho有较好的相关性,矿体上方地气异常区具有相似的稀土配分模式和负Eu异常,利用这些地气异常可以勘查埋深超过600 m的隐伏花岗岩铀矿。刘泽等[63]在湖北李家段花岗岩体及其相邻区域进行的地气测量结果表明,该地区地气异常中U和Pb,Mo,Bi,As相关性较好,它们可作为本区中铀指示元素,同时Mn,Sr和轻稀土元素也对U有一定的指示作用。杨奎[64]在鄂东南某铀矿勘查区对矿致地气异常的元素组合特征、稀土元素分布特征、多元统计特征、异常的空间分布特征以及与之相关的 X 荧光异常特征进行了研究,发现矿体上方地气中U 之外的元素Rb,Sr,Y,Cd,Cs,稀土元素(La-Lu),Pb以及 U/Th(衬度比)值也存在异常或高值,地气可反映60%以上的矿化信息,而土壤仅能反映10%~20%的矿化信息。

4 结论与展望

现阶段,我国深部及隐伏矿床寻找存在巨大的潜力,地气测量能探测覆盖层下隐伏深度达千米尺度的矿体,该方法可用于小比例尺勘查、大比例尺普查和详查以及矿体定位。近年来地气测量逐渐被我国探矿研究人员应用于隐伏铀矿的探测,但仍处于发展、完善阶段。对于一般放射性方法来说,其地表异常位置与隐伏矿体间没有直接对应关系,而地气异常位置则与矿体在地表的垂直投影位置具有较好一致性,这种对应关系不随隐伏矿体埋深的增加而改变。再加上地气的深穿透性,这使得地气测量在我国未来深部金属矿及隐伏铀矿探矿领域中具有很大的研究价值和应用前景。但就目前研究现状来看,地气测量在隐伏矿探矿领域的推广应用还存在诸多问题,主要体现在以下3个方面:

(1) 目前业界仅认识到地气垂直上升过程中能够将与矿体相关金属元素纳米颗粒携带至地表,从而在矿体垂直投影地表处形成元素异常晕,但对迁移过程中穿透介质(覆盖层)影响的研究不够深入,没有建立完善的数学理论模型。

(2) 目前国内几乎没有较为准确、实用的地气测量模型,很难进行可控性、重复性、对比性实验及理论研究。如前文所述,唐桢等[46]和周四春等[48]利用温度梯度驱动气流模拟上升地气流,建立了相应的铀矿地气测量物理模型,为地气测量机理研究提供了具有实际意义的实验平台。但这些模型体积较小、结构设计欠妥、缺少环境参数的影响研究,只能进行验证性实验,无法用于地气及相应元素纳米颗粒上升过程中迁移机理以及覆盖层特性影响的研究。而杨亚新[28]和刘庆成等[44]建立的砂岩型铀矿地气测量模型结构和尺寸上具有合理性,但缺少模拟地气以及环境影响参数的研究。因此,有必要建立一套完善的实体模型,为地气测量机理研究提供实验平台和技术支持。

(3) 由于元素含量太低,地气所携带的隐伏矿信息十分微弱,地气样品采集后需要带回实验室利用高精度、低检出限分析仪器进行微量元素含量测量。这样的分析方法存在成本高、时间周期长、样品易污染等缺点。因此,为了推广地气测量在金属矿、铀矿等探矿领域中的实际应用,需要对捕集溶液以及取样、测量方案进行深入研究,制定出适合不同铀矿地质构造区的野外地气现场快速测量方法,实现野外地气现场快速、准确测量,降低人力、物力和财力成本。

综上所述,地气测量用于隐伏矿勘探是科学、可行的,但后期工作中还有许多基础理论和技术细节有待于广大学者、勘探人员进行深入研究,从而推动我国深部隐伏金属矿、铀矿勘探事业的发展。在今后的工作中,将着重在含铀地气的移运机制、室内地气模型以及野外现场快速测量等方面进行理论和实践研究,为提高我国深部铀资源探测能力提供技术支撑。

Evidence for nondiffusive transport of 222Rn in the ground and a new physical model for the transport

[J]. Geophisics,1982,47(10):1 444-1 452.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 3]      摘要

Abstract Concentration of radon has been measured in the soil near the ground surface with solid-state, nuclear track detectors with the inverted cup technique. The results disagree with the hypothesis that radon concentration only depends upon local production and migration by diffusion with a diffusion length of about 1m. Radon measurements in the ground surface over the Laisvall lead mine have given evidence of radon transport through rock exceeding a distance of 100m, which is possible only if the migration is a flow transport with a characteristic transport length larger than about 10m/day. The existence of a general upward flow of geo-gas is proposed, which works as a carrier mechanism for radon. The physical conditions for the existence of a flow transport of radon are discussed. -from Authors

Microflow of geogas—A possible formation mechanism for deep-sea nodules

[J]. Marine Geology,1981,40(3/4):M1-M3.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

A formation model for deep-sea manganese nodules based on ascending bubble trains of geogas is proposed. The bubble train forces material in the sediments and particles adsorbed by the bubbles to the sediment—water interface where precipitation reactions occur. In the presence of a nucleating agent a nodule is formed. Such a model might explain a number of observations concerning nodular structure, genesis and distribution.

Experimental evidence for an ascending microflow of geogas in the ground

[J]. Earth and Planetary Science Letters,1984,70(2):407-416.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

A microflow of free ascending gas has been observed in 26 out of 30 tested boreholes at three different sites. The flow rates vary between 60 × 10 614 and 4 cm 3/min m 2 horizontally projected borehole area. Sampling has been made in ground boreholes as well as in holes drilled downwards from the lowest levels in two mines. The composition of the gas varies considerably. The main components of the gas are nitrogen, argon, oxygen and methane. Traces of heavier hydrocarbons are observed. At the site of the ground holes, only traces of methane are observed. In all sampled holes the existence of free oxygen is observed. The nitrogen/argon quotient is close to the atmospheric quotient in all sampled holes, indicating a partly atmospheric origin of the gas. The existence of methane and traces of heavier hydrocarbons indicates the existence of a second source.

Geogas transport in fractured hard rock—Correlations with mining seismicity at 3.54 km depth, TauTona gold mine, South Africa

[J]. Applied Geochemistry, 2011,26(12):2 134-2 146.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

An on-site gas monitoring study has been conducted in the framework of an earthquake laboratory (The International NELSAM–DAFGAS projects) at the TauTona gold mine, South Africa. Five boreholes up to 6002m long were drilled at 3.5402km depth into the highly fractured Pretorius Fault Zone and instruments for chemical and seismic monitoring installed therein. Over the span of 402years sensitive gas monitoring devices were continuously improved to enable the direct observation of geogas concentration variations in the DAFGAS borehole. The major gas concentrations are constant and air-like with about 78% N, 21% O, 1% Ar. The geogas components CO, CH, He and H show the most interesting trends and variations on the minute-by-minute basis and significantly correlate with seismic data, while the Rn activity remains constant. Time series and cross correlation analysis allow the identification of different gas components (geogas and tunnel air) and the identification of two processes influencing the borehole gas composition: (1) pumping-induced tunnel air breakthrough through networks of initially water-saturated fault fractures; and (2) seismicity induced permeability enhancement of fault fractures to above 65502×021002m. The current set-up of the gas monitoring system is sensitive enough to quantify the resulting geogas transport during periods of intense blasting activities (including recorded blasts with seismic moment ?102×021002Nm, located within 100002m of the cubby) and, it is suggested, also during induced earthquakes, a final goal of the project.Highlights? New methodologies enable real-time geogas monitoring in Tau Tona gold mine. ? Geogas transport through an inactive fault system in 3.5402km depth was observed. ? CO, CH, He, and H variations correlate with mining seismicity. ? Time series and data analysis identify two processes influencing gas composition. ? Monitoring system sensitive enough to quantify earthquake induced fluid transport.

Trace elements in the geogas and their relation to bedrock composition

[J]. Geoexploration, 1987,24:517-534.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 4]      摘要

The paper describes an investigation of a transport mechanism in the ground which has the capacity of lifting trace amounts of different elements from the bedrock to the ground surface. The transported matter is guided by a funnel system towards a thin membrane on which it is collected. The matter on the membranes is analysed with the PIXE method. The transport may be brought about by a very weak stream of gas bubbles which passes upwards through cracks and fissures in the bedrock. Remarkable similarities are found between the occurrence of elements on the membranes and the composition of a mineralization straight below the points of collection. The mechanism seems to have the power of revealing the existence of important base metal occurrences in the bedrock and may therefore be the basis for a new method of prospecting for concealed mineralizations.

Sulfur-containing particles emitted by concealed sulfide ore deposits: An unknown source of sulfur-containing particles in the atmosphere

[J]. Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015,15(1):6 959-6 969.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

Sources of sulfur dioxide, sulfates, and organic sulfur compounds, such as fossil fuels, volcanic eruptions, and animal feeding operations, have attracted considerable attention. In this study, we collected particles carried by geogas flows ascending through soil, geogas flows above the soil that had passed through the soil, and geogas flows ascending through deep faults of concealed sulfide ore deposits, and analysed them using transmission electron microscopy. Numerous crystalline and amorphous sulfur-containing particles or particle aggregations were found in the ascending geogas flows. In addition to S, the particles contained O, Ca, K, Mg, Fe, Na, Pb, Hg, Cu, Zn, As, Ti, Sr, Ba, Si, etc. Such particles are usually a few to several hundred nanometres in diameter with either regular or irregular morphology. The sulfur-containing particles originated from deep-seated weathering or faulting products of concealed sulfide ore deposits. The particles suspended in the ascending geogas flow migrated through faults from deep-seated sources to the atmosphere. This is a previously unknown source of the atmospheric particles. This paper reports, for the first time, the emission of sulfur-containing particles into the atmosphere from concealed sulfide ore deposits. The climatic and ecological influences of these sulfur-containing particles and particle aggregations should be assessed.

The geogas collectors showing a geogas anomaly in field geogas prospecting and in simulation tests were selected for the observation under high resolution microscopy. The result demonstrates that the geogas matter is transported in the form of nano-scale particles with a size of about N nm to N-10 nm, and accumulated into aggregations of 1-2 渭m to N.10 渭m, with globular and film shape, and the component of Cu, Zn, Cr, Au, Al, V, Si, Br, C1, S, Ca, etc. Based on the knowledge of nano science and technique, the mechanism of the geogas prospecting and its significance in geology and mineral prospecting are discussed.

TEM observations of particles based on sampling in gas and soil at the Dongshengmiao polymetallic pyrite deposit, Inner Mongolia, Northern China

[J].Journal of Geochemical Exploration,2015,158:95-111.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 3]      摘要

Forty-two samples of particles that were carried by the ascending gas flow and forty-two corresponding soil samples were captured from Quaternary sediments overlying the Dongshengmiao polymetallic pyrite deposit in the Province of Inner Mongolia, North China. The category, size, shape, chemical composition and structure of these particles were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique. The observations indicated that most of the particles carried by the ascending gas flow were sub-circular, elliptical or irregular in shape, with sizes ranging from 502nm to 40002nm; their primary components were dominated by the metallogenic elements Fe, Cu, Zn and Pb, and their highest weight percentages were up to 80.2%, 82.5%, 49.1% and 59.6%, respectively. We determine that a large number of metal sulfides and oxides/hydroxides (such as PbS, Fe 3 O 4, Sb 3 O 2 and Fe(OH) 3 ), native metal alloy (such as native vanadium–platinum–iron–cobalt alloy), nonmetallic oxides (such as SiO 2 ), chlorides (primarily NaCl), nonmetallic hydroxides (such as KOH) and sulfate (primarily BaSO 4 ) particles, as well as precious metal elements (such as Au and Pt) bearing particles and rare earth elements (such as Y) as observed in the samples, exhibited a good correspondence with the concealed ore bodies and the wall rock. A number of the particles that were carried by the ascending gas flow were found in elemental associations S–Cu, S–Zn, S–Pb, S–Mo, S–Fe–Zn, S–Fe–Cu, S–Fe–Cu–Mo, S–Fe–Zn–Pb and Cr–Mn–Fe, which were consistent with previous studies on the mineral assemblages of this deposit. The particles carried by the ascending gas flow and soil particles have a common origin, that is, the ore body. Different particles carried by ascending gas flows come from different types of deposits, without interference from the properties or thickness of the overlying layer, suggesting that geogas prospecting could be used to explore for different types of ore deposits. An analysis of the particles carried by the ascending gas flow along the 14th exploration line demonstrates a good spatial correlation with the known concealed ore bodies. Additionally, Pt-bearing and rare earth element bearing particles were first found in the ascending gas flow from the Dongshengmiao deposit.

TEM study of geogas-transported nanoparticles from the Fankou lead-zinc deposit, Guangdong Province, South China

[J].Journal of Geochemical Exploration,2013, 128:124-135.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 3]      摘要

Eighty samples of geogas nanoparticles in Quaternary sediments overlying Fankou lead–zinc deposit in Guangdong Province and 65 samples in a district that was considered to have concealed deposits were captured by nickel grids for transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurement. Category, size, shape, chemical composition, and structure of geogas nanoparticles from these two kinds of samples were analyzed. The observations indicated that the geogas matter was present in the form of single particles with a size range from 1002nm to 30002nm, and aggregations with globular, catenarian, or irregular shape. The main components of geogas nanoparticles from the ore district were Pb, Zn, S, and Cu. The Pb concentrations in some nanoparticles ranged up to 67.1%. The maximum Cu concentration was 86.9% showing a good correspondence with the ore bodies. Components of geogas nanoparticles in this exploratory [prospective] district were mainly Pb (64.1%), Zn (67.4%) and S, suggesting that they originated from concealed lead–zinc deposits. Additionally, we found SiO 2 , TiO 2 , and CaCO 3 particles in our samples.

In geogas prospecting the extremely small concentrations of trace elements, in an upward gas stream, are measured with high sensitivity using the PIXE technique. The measured elemental composition in the geogas across geological formations reveals much about the bedrock composition and the possible presence of concealed mineralizations and ore bodies. The possible origin and transportation of the geogas matter through the bedrock are discussed. The sampling procedure, the data analysis and the normalisation procedures are described. Finally, the possibility to extract three-dimensional information from a two-dimensional measurement is demonstrated as an example from a field experiment.

TEM observation of geogas-carried particles from the Changkeng concealed gold deposit, Guangdong Province, South China

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 3]      摘要

Geogas prospecting is a relatively new technique in exploration for deep-seated and concealed mineral deposits. Now, the technique is to reveal the presence of concealed ore bodies by analyzing the element concentrations of substances that are transported by geogas from concealed ore bodies to the Earth's surface. However, the element concentrations provide us with limited information about the concealed ore bodies. In our work, to investigate the category, size, shape, chemical component of geogas particles, copper grids for transmission electron microscopy measurement were directly used to capture the geogas-carried solid particles in Quaternary sediments overlying the Changkeng concealed gold deposit, Guangdong Province, South China. In the samples, we found Au, PbSO 4 , WO 3 , Fe 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , TiO 2 , and Al 2 O 3 particles, etc. using a transmission electron microscopy. Of which, gold particles, and Hg-, Zn-, Pb-, W-bearing particles may originate from concealed ore bodies and can provide more direct information than those provided by element concentrations.

在广东长排铀矿勘查区,针对矿体品位低、矿体小、埋深大等特点, 改进了动态地气测量方法.采样时,通过双捕集器串联,在不延长采样时间的情况下使地气采样量提高了约50%;在进行ICP-MS分析前,对地气样品进行浓 缩处理,可以将样品中的元素浓度增加3~11倍,该方法使地气中低浓度元素更易于检出,并有效降低了分析误差.实验结果证明,改进后的动态地气测量方法可 以明显提高探测灵敏度,进而提高找矿效果.

Study of Au prospecting by geogas in Sunite gold deposit

[J]. Advanced Materials Research,2014,962/965:646-649.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 2]      摘要

Geogas geochemistry method is a way to predict concealed ores by collecting and testing metallogenic elements and associated elements in rising underground gases, which is very promising for broad applications. Due to the unawareness of the source of abnormal materials, the validity of the method is consistently under suspicion. By purifying the collector, controlling operating environment, improving the sampling device and sampling methods, the contents of interference elements are greatly reduced in this paper. Through the analyses of captured samples, obtaining of the geochemical characteristics of elements, areas for detailed investigation can be delineated. This study proves the validity of this method and provides basis for further prospecting.

A physical-mathematical model for the transport of heavy metals and toxic matter from point sources by geogas microbubbles

[J]. Ecological Modelling,2003, 161:139-149.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

Mobile heavy metals and toxic matter from underground polluting sources may be transported upwards to the ground surface under the action of ascending geogas microbubble flow. In this paper both stable and unstable 3-D physical–mathematical models are set up to describe the matter transport process from point sources by ascending microbubble flows. The spatial dispersion of the jet halo formed by microbubble flows in stable and unstable processes are discussed. Results of a computer simulation indicate that if the microbubble is strong-the jet coefficient κ= v/2 D is great—the mass of toxic matter may be transported upward to the ground surface, where it could have a negative impact on the surrounding environment. If the microbubble flow is minimal, the detection of the jet halo can provide an early warning sign of potential future pollution from the ground source. The good fitting between experimental data and theoretical model suggests the possibility to use the model to describe the matter transport process by ascending microbubble flows.

Transport of ultratrace reduced gases and particulate, near-surface oxidation, metal deposition and adsorption

[J]. Geochemistry: Exploration, Environment Analysis, 2009,(9):203-213.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

A model for a reduced chimney above ore deposits is presented that complements the existing electrical charge model. This new model emphasizes the role of reduced gases in the formation of the chimney. A computer model for the transport of reduced gases in the unsaturated zone and subsequent microbial oxidation is applied to a hydrocarbon gas chimney. The role of nitrogen soil gases is demonstrated for active epithermal systems. The formation of gaseous As(CH3 )3 and its transport and oxidation in the unsaturated zone is postulated for the formation of near-surface extractable As, and possibly other elements. The transport of Hg and its flux into the atmosphere is demonstrated to have a significant seasonal variation. This in turn results in variation in seasonal soil gas Hg concentrations. The unsaturated zone model is applied to the vertical transport of ultrafine particulates with application to Au. Barometric pumping causes pressure gradients in the unsaturated zone that are capable of moving sub-micron Au particulate to the surface. A variety of exploration methods are suggested by the data and modelling of transport processes.

Beyond the obvious limits of ore Deposits: The use of mineralogical, geochemical, and biological features for the remote detection of internalization

[J]. Economic Geology,2006,101(4):729-752.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

Far field features of ore deposits include mineralogical, geochemical, or biological attributes that can be recognized beyond the obvious limits of the deposits. They can be primary, if formed in association with mineralization or alteration processes, or secondary, if formed from the interaction of ore deposits with the hydrosphere and biosphere. This paper examines a variety of far field features of different ore deposit types and considers novel applications to exploration and discovery. Primary far field features include mineral and rock chemistry, isotopic or element halos, fluid pathways and thermal anomalies in host-rock sequences. Examples include the use of apatite chemistry to distinguish intrusive rocks permissive for iron oxide copper gold (IOCG) and porphyry deposits; resistate mineral (e.g., rutile, tourmaline) chemistry in exploration for volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS), orogenic gold, and porphyry deposits; and pyrite chemistry to vector toward sedimentary exhalative (sedex) deposits. Distinctive whole-rock geochemical signatures also can be recognized as a far field feature of porphyry deposits. For example, unique Sr/Y ratios in whole-rock samples, used to distinguish barren versus fertile magmas for Cu mineralization, result from the differentiation of oxidized hydrous melts. Anomalous concentrations of halogen elements (Cl, Br, and I) have been found for distances of up to 200 m away from some mineralized centers. Variations in isotopic composition between ore-bearing and barren intrusions and/or systematic vertical and lateral zonation in sulfur, carbon, or oxygen isotope values have been documented for some deposit types. Owing to the thermal aureole that extends beyond the area of mineralization for some deposits, detection of paleothermal effects through methods such as conodont alteration indices, vitrinite or bitumen reflectance, illite crystallinity, and apatite or zircon thermochronology studies also can be valuable, particularly for deposits with a low-temperature thermal history. A number of newly investigated secondary far field features include the development of reduced columns by electrochemical processes in transported overburden, geochemical dispersion related to the expulsion of groundwater from tectonic and seismic compression, dispersion of vapor above ore deposits, and geochemical dispersion related to biological processes. Redox gradients have been found between underlying reduced and overlying oxidized environments associated with sulfide bodies, which result in mass transfer through electro-chemical dispersion. Recent studies have characterized the pH, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and self potential (SP) in overburden overlying sulfide-hosted gold and VMS deposits. Lateral migration of metals in groundwater is well understood from normal groundwater flow, but the processes responsible for vertical mass transfer of groundwater and its dissolved components have been recognized only recently. One process, termed cyclical dilatancy pumping, expels groundwater during and after earthquake events, which can cause the redistribution of metals around deposits in some environments. Soil gases are of interest owing to their high degree of mobility through the vadose zone in transported overburden. Numerous soil gas species (CO2, O2, Hg, Rn, He, sulfur compounds, and light hydrocarbons) have been measured and interpreted as diagnostic of some buried mineral deposits, and some evidence suggests a possible link between vapor dispersion and metal enrichment in soil. Geochemical enrichment in plant material and soils through successive growth-death cycles is well established, but the important role of microorganisms is now increasingly evident. Microorganisms significantly enhance the kinetics of sulfide oxidation and influence the distribution of metals around ore deposits. The presence of metal-resistant bacteria and enhanced concentrations of sulfate-reducing bacteria in exotic overburd

Deep-penetrating geochemistry for sandstone-type uranium deposits in the Turpan-Hami Basin, North-western China

[J]. Applied Geochemistry,2011,26(12):2 238-2 246.

DOI      URL      [本文引用: 1]      摘要

The Turpan-揌ami basin, covering an area of approximately 50,000聽km in NW China, contains concealed sandstone-type U deposits in a Jurassic sequence of sandstone, mudstone and coal beds. Sampling of soil profiles over the Shihongtan concealed U deposit in this basin shows that fine-grained soil collected from the clay-rich horizon contains U concentrations three times higher than similar soils at background areas. Selective leaching studies of these soils show that U is mainly associated with clay minerals, which comprise from 17.9% to 40% (average 30.4%) of the total mineral content. This may indicate that U is converted to uranyl ions [UO] under oxidizing conditions and is sorbed on clay minerals to accumulate in anomalous concentrations. Fine-grained soil ( was carried out throughout the whole basin using this sampling medium. Samples were analyzed for 30 elements by ICP-MS following a 4-acid extraction. Three large-scale geochemical anomalies of U and Mo were delineated over the whole basin. One of the anomalies is consistent with the known U deposit at Shihongtan in the western part of the basin. A new potential target in the eastern part of the basin was selected for a follow-up survey at a density of 1 sample per 4聽km. A drilling exploration programme at the center of the geochemical anomaly delineated by this follow-up survey discovered a new U deposit.Highlights? Uranium is converted to uranyl ions under oxidation conditions in desert terrains. ? The ion complexes are sorbed on clay minerals. ? Fine-grained soils from the clay-rich horizon is an effective sampling medium for deep-penetrating geochemical surveys. ? U and Mo are highly correlated.
