摘要： The granite collected from the Yinshan Mountain and kaolinite has been selected for the leaching and adsorption experiment,respectively,aiming to clarify the enrichment processes of Li and Ga during the deposition.Results suggest both Li and Ga could be leached out from granite by using different acid solutions of different p H and kaolinite can adsorb Li and Ga with varying degrees.Lithium and Ga had the highest leaching ratio when p H=1.Special geological events(e.g.volcanic eruptions and wildfires),which could result in very low p H values of water in peatland,may have accelerated the release of Li and Ga from the source rocks.Kaolinite has the highest adsorption fraction was obtained at p H=8.The different characteristics of Li and Ga displayed in the leaching and adsorption experiments probably result from the different occurrences and enrichment processes of Li and Ga in the coals.Lithium was probably enriched before the Li carriers(e.g.kaolinite)had been transported into paleomires because of its high leaching ratio and high adsorption fraction under neutral and alkaline conditions,whereas Ga was more likely concentrated by kaolinite and other carriers after it had been transported into the peat mires.

摘要： The creep phenomenon of rocks is quite complex and the creep mechanisms are far from being well understood.Although laboratory creep tests have been carried out to determine the creep deformation of various rocks,these tests are expensive and time-consuming.Nanoindentation creep tests,as an alternative method,can be performed to investigate the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of granite samples.In this study,the reduced Young’s modulus,hardness,fracture toughness,creep strain rate,stress exponent,activation volume and maximum creep displacement of common rock-forming minerals of granite were calculated from nanoindentation results.It was found that the hardness decreases with the increase of holding time and the initial decrease in hardness was swift,and then it decreased slowly.The stress exponent values obtained were in the range from 4.5 to 22.9,which indicates that dislocation climb is the creep deformation mechanism.In addition,fracture toughness of granite’s rock-forming minerals was calculated using energy-based method and homogenization method was adopted to upscale the micro-scale mechanical properties to macro-scale mechanical properties.Last but not least,both three-element Voigt model and Burgers model fit the nanoindentation creep curves well.This study is beneficial to the understanding of the long-term mechanical properties of rock samples from a microscale perspective,which is of great significance to the understanding of localized deformation processes of rocks.

摘要： Tourmaline geochemical and boron(B)isotopic compositions in two-mica granites(TMG),tourmaline-bearing leucogranites(Tou-LG),tourmalites and metapelites from the Gyirong-Malashan areas of the Himalayan orogen provide evidence for country rock assimilation during the intrusion of Himalayan leucogranite.The schorls in Gyirong leucogranitic plutons show low contents of MgO(0.238%-1.160%)and δ^(11)B values(-12.1‰--11.2‰),while dravites gathered in the contact zone between the leucogranitic veins and metapelites show high contents of MgO(4.815%-6.755%)and δ^(11)B values(-10.7‰--9.3‰).This geochemical and isotopic variation of tourmalines can also be identified in the Malashan gneiss dome.As a result,three types of tourmaline were identified in the Himalayan orogen:(1)Tou-Ⅰ in the TMG and Tou-LG,which is the most common tourmaline type of schorl;(2)Tou-Ⅱ(dravite and high-Mg schorl)in the Tou-LG and tourmalite at the margins of the leucogranite;and(3)Tou-Ⅲ(mainly dravite,with minor high-Mg schorl)in metapelites of the High Himalayan Crystalline Sequence.The lenses and veins of Tou-LG may have experienced metasomatism and assimilation as a result of interaction with the High Himalayan Crystalline Sequence metasedimentary country rocks,which can be traced by the geochemical and isotopic characteristics of the tourmaline therein.

摘要： The exploration and development of oil and gas resources have shifted from shallow to deep and ultradeep.The difficulty of rock breaking has also increased,introducing new challenges to traditional rock-breaking technology.Hence,there is an urgent need to develop new rock-breaking technologies to improve the development efficiency of deep oil and gas resources.Therefore,this study focused on the new microwave rock-breaking technology and conducted experimental and numerical simulation research on typical deep,hard rock granite.The research results showed that granite in the microwave field exhibited high-temperature melting and fracture,and the highest temperature could reach 550°C.Under the irradiation of circulating microwaves,a minimum irradiation time threshold of 3 min was needed to cause irreversible damage to the rock.The numerical simulation results showed that the interaction of thermal stress and in situ stress would cause the inside of the rock stratum to separate into a disturbed deterioration area,disturbed unloading area and initial stress area.These results are expected to provide the necessary technical guidance and theoretical support for the research and development of high-efficiency rock-breaking drilling for deep hard rock.

摘要： Objective The Altyn Tagh marks the northern margin of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and lies between the Tarim block to the north and the Qaidam block,Qilian Orogen,and Kunlun orogenic belt to the south.The Altyn Tagh region contains ophiolite,high-to ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic rocks,and igneous rocks.Previous research has virified the occurrence of continental rifting,subduction,slab roll-back,and collision between the Tarim block and Proto-Tethys oceanic plate.Moreover,Kaladaban volcanic rocks are mainly distributed in the north Altyn region.Studies of the magmatic evolution of this region have proposed that Altyn oceanic plate was subducted during the Ordovician(Han et al.,2012;Wang et al.,2017).However,the specific timing and other aspects of the subduction are debated,and an investigation of granite porphyry in the Kaladaban area would improve our understanding of this subduction event.In this study,we present new U-Pb zircon dating result and Sr-Nd isotope composition data for granite porphyry from the North Altyn region.The objective is to constrain the timing of subduction of the North Altyn oceanic plate and establish the petrogenesis and magma source of the granite porphyry.

摘要： The Pan-African event is widely distributed in East Antarctica craton. Many terranes or outcrops of the craton bear more or less signs of the event. From characteristics of the shear zones, granites, pegmatites, feature and time of high grade metamorphism and detrital zircon ages peaks of the downflowing sediments from the plateau, the Pan-African event in the East Antarctica and adjacent areas in the Gondwana reconstruction, like SE Africa, southern India and SW Australia, wasdistributed as special zones or areas in many localities, including both the coastal regions and interior of the East Antarctica. In geochemistry, the granites are generally anorogenic, ocassionally with some gabbros or dolerite dykes, showing sign of bi-modal feature. The water or fluid available along the shear zones were responsible for retrogression of the earlier, e.g., Grenville age, high grade outcrops to later Pan-African amphibolite facies metamorphism. Meanwhile, the Pan-African event has influenced most isotopic systems, including the U-Pb, Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr and Ar-Ar systems, giving younger apparent ages. Manifestation of the Pan-African event is distributed from possibly locally granitic magmatism, to wider medium-high grade metamorphism, and mostly widespread in resetting for some isotope systems, suggesting the prevailing thermal effect.Before Gondwana formation, local depressions in the East Antarctica could be filled with sediments, implying the initial breakup period of the Rodinia. The later Pan-Gondwana counterrotating cogs shaped the interstitial fold belts between continent blocks and formed a set of shear zones. The mafic underplating in the Gondwana may be responsible for the widespread granites, pegmatites and more or less isotopic resetting due to strong thermal effect from the deep. That is, the Pan-African event is a possible response of the plate movement surrounding the continent swarms in the non-stable interior of theyet consolidated Gondwana.The Pan-African event may be an overwhelmingly extensional and transcurrent tectonics in mechanism.

摘要： Granite is generally composed of quartz,biotite,feldspar,and cracks.The changes in digital parameters of these compositions reflect the detail of the deformation process of the rock.Therefore,the estimation of the changes in digital parameters of the compositions is much helpful to understand the deformation and failure stages of the rock.In the current study,after dividing the frames in the video images photographed during the axial compression test into four parts(or,the upper left,upper right,lower left,and lower right ones),the digital parameters of various compositions in each part were then extracted.Using these parameters as input dataset,a long short-term memory(LSTM)based neural network was then established for exploring the changes of various compositions.After dividing the deformation process into four stages based on the stress-strain curve and using the digital parameters of various compositions as the dataset,the LSTM-based neural network for estimating the rock deformation stage was also established.The root mean squared error(RMSE)and goodness of fit(R2)and the average accuracy(ACC)were used to evaluate the efficiencies of these two LSTM-based neural networks.The influences of variables(such as the number of hidden layers,maximum epoch,learning rate,minimum batch size and train ratio)on efficiencies of the LSTM-based neural networks were thereafter explored.It shows that the super parameters have a great influence on the efficiency of the established LSTM-based neural network for estimating digital parameter changes of various compositions;the estimations were relatively good if the number of hidden layers,maximum epoch,learning ratio,minimum batch size,and train ratio is 2,150,0.005,10,and 0.8,respectively;the compositions with the greater percentage have a greater accuracy using the neural network;the great-small sequence of ACC is biotite,feldspar,crack,and quartz,if the LSTM-based architecture for estimating deformation stages was used.These results may be referable both for investigating the availably of the established LSTM-based architectures and for exploring the deformation process of the rock materials.

摘要： The present work is an attempt to assess the effect of crustal contamination through the Granitoids host rock, within the southern Bastar mafic dykes of Chhattisgarh, India, in the light of geochemical characteristics. Petrographically, these dykes are classified as Amphibolite, Dolerite/Meta-Dolerite and Diorite. Geochemically, all dyke samples have been classified as “high iron sub-alkaline Tholeiites”. On account of overlapping magnesium and iron concentration in Amphibolite and Dolerite dykes, distinctly higher High-Field Strength Element (HFSE), higher Rare-Earth Element (REE) concentrations in the Dolerite dykes than in the Amphibolite dykes, it is inferred that both dyke swarms are fed from two different Tholeiitic magmas. Conclusively, these dykes are recognized as belonging to two different swarms, BD1 and BD2 respectively. This is also corroborated by differences in the LREE patterns i.e. BD2 dykes have relatively enriched LREE pattern than that of BD1 dykes. It is evident from higher LaN/LuN ratio in the BD2 swarm, than in BD1 dyke swarm. These dykes intrude in the coarse-grained leucocratic Bastar Granitoids/Granite Gneisses, which are the host for these dykes. The comparative study of the Primordial mantle-normalized multi-element spider grams, and Chondrite-normalized rare-earth element patterns for the average of BD1 and BD2 dykes and the average of Bastar Granitoids, clearly reflect that the great degree of variation in LIL elements, observed in the Bastar dykes, is either due to metamorphism or due to secondary alteration, and not due to crustal contamination. This is further supported by much higher average “Nb”/“La” ratios in Bastar Mafic Dykes, than in the Bastar Granitoids. Crustal assimilation plays almost no role in the petrogenesis of the Bastar mafic dykes. The Bastar mafic dykes owe their incompatible element characteristics, certainly mantle derived.

摘要： Recently, the area located within the Unfinished Obelisk (UO) archeological site showed numerous seepages and accumulations of groundwater in a small pond located a few meters from the Unfinished Obelisk. The Supreme Council of Antiques sponsored integrated geological, geophysical, and hydrogeological studies to identify the possible sources of groundwater and the optimum technique to manage the groundwater flow system that may jeopardize this invaluable sculpture. The geological units and the prevailing structure have been studied in detail using Landsat imagery and field work over two consecutive seasons. The field studies indicated the development of several fault/joint systems oriented mainly ENE-WSW with clear indications of mineralization and intensive weathering effects along these fabrics. Several resistivity (vertical seismic profile and resistivity imaging) measurements extending down to at least 20 m depth and Radar imaging down to 10 m depth are gathered to investigate the extension of outcrop units and the dominant structures prevailing the near subsurface. Geophysical data indicated the development of at least three hydrostratigraphic units arranged from top to bottom as valley fill, fractured/weathered granite, and slightly fractured to massive granitic unit. In addition, the major faults mapped by resistivity images helped to locate several observation wells and a production well to test the transmissivity across the groundwater system. The results of a pumping test indicated very low aquifer conductivity and the development of an aquitard with preferential vertical flow at the study area. This enforces a local interference through a shallow underground drainage system with sump and pump to maintain low groundwater level at the UO-archeological site.
