摘要
白云石是地球上最神秘的沉积矿物之一,它过去的大量沉积,在当代却几乎没有类似的产物,而今天,科学家们仍然无法就全球前寒武纪的百米厚白云质矿床是如何形成的达成共识。白云岩在过去是碳循环的主要调节器,同时也是正在进行的CO2地下储存和封存项目中的主要岩石,对原生资源的需求不断增长,导致人们对白云石的兴趣有所增加,而有关白云岩成因的问题一直是众说纷纭,目前尚未定论,本文就白云岩成因相关问题进行了探讨。
Dolomite is one of the most enigmatic sedimentary minerals on Earth, its massive past deposition has few contemporary analogs, and today scientists still cannot agree on how the 100-meter-thick dolomitic deposits of the global Precambrian were formed. While dolomite has been a major regulator of the carbon cycle in the past, as well as a major rock in ongoing CO2 underground storage and sequestration projects, the growing demand for primary resources has led to increased interest in dolomite, and questions about its genesis have been widely debated and are still inconclusive. In this paper, we discuss issues related to dolomite genesis.
