盐湖硼、锂、锶、氯同位素地球化学研究进展

Progress in study of isotopic geochemistry of boron,lithium,strontium and chlorine in salt lakes

盐湖作为盐矿资源的重要载体和富集区,探讨其矿物质来源及富集规律,不仅为盐湖的形成、演化及成盐成矿规律研究奠定了基础,也为盐湖资源评价及合理的开发利用提供了科学依据,具有重要的理论和现实意义。近年来,随着同位素地球化学的发展,同位素在盐湖领域的研究成果也日益丰富,使盐湖研究的深度和广度也得到快速发展。文章简要概述了硼、锂、锶、氯同位素的分馏机理及其在盐湖研究领域的发展历程,重点介绍了国内外取得的主要成果和最新进展,探讨了存在的问题,以促进硼、锂、锶、氯同位素地球化学研究在中国盐湖领域的进一步发展。

Salt lakes are significant mineral records and accumulation regions. The study of the origin and accumulation processes of the minerals can help understand the formation and evolution of the salt lakes and contribute to the evaluation and utilization of the mineral resources in the lakes. In recent years, many achievements in salt lake research have been made with the development of isotopic geochemistry. This paper gives a brief summary of isotopic fractionation of boron, lithium, strontium and chlorine, reviews their developments in salt lake research, describes major results achieved and existent problems, and outlines future research needs.
