Origin and geochemical characteristics of beryllium mineralization in the Zabara-Wadi El Gemal region,South Eastern Desert,Egypt

Beryl is the commercial source of beryllium and several varieties of it are valued as a gemstone.To contribute to understanding the mechanism of beryl formation,we carried out detailed geological,petrographical,and geochemical investigations on beryl mineralization occurrences in the Zabara-Wadi El Gemal(Z-WG)region.This region is an NW-SE trending tract that includes six berylhosting areas.The green gem variety of beryl(emerald)is restricted to phlogopite schist,pegmatite,and quartz veins.Prismatic hexagonal emerald crystals are well-developed in phlogopite schist and pegmatite.The gem variety emerald examined is sodic and Cr-dominant.It contains high concentrations of chromophore transition elements ordering Cr(up to 1511 ppm)>V(up to 242 ppm)>Sc(up to 245 ppm),giving rise to its vivid green color,refl ecting mafic-ultramafic source contribution.Among the investigated emeralds,the Sikait area contains the highest BeO(av.10.76wt.%)concentration.The compositional variability of emeralds is most likely attributed to the contribution from the host rocks.This is revealed by the examined emerald mineralization,for instance;the Abu Rusheid area(one of the best areas exposing rare metal-bearing granitoids)possesses the highest average of trace and REEs concentrations.In contrast,Um Kabu emerald has the highest contents of Co(av.20 ppm),Ni(av.299 ppm),MgO(av.8.2wt.%),Fe_(2)O_(3)(av.3.12wt.%),and CaO(avg.3.4wt.%)relative to other areas,which may be linked to contribution of ultramafic rocks exposed there.The proposed mechanism we suggest for emerald genesis is metasomatic interaction between felsic intrusions,that are enriched with K,Na,Be,Li,and B,with mafic-ultramafic rocks that are enriched in Cr,V,Mg,Fe,and Ca.This interaction is marked by the formation of phlogopite schist,the growth of emerald crystals,and desilicated pegmatite.

Structure Refinement of Cs-rich Na-Li Beryl and Analysis of Its Typomorphic Characteristics of Configurations

The tabular beryl found in Huya Country, Sichuan Province is a rare and special member among beryls. Chemical analysis reveals that the beryl is a new type of Cs-rich Na-Li beryl, and the content of alkalis （Li20, Na2O, K2O, Rb2O, Cs2O） is up to 2.41%. The CCD system on the SMART APEX four circle single crystal diffractometer was used in this experiment to determine the structure of the sample accurately. The beryl belongs to the hexagonal system; its space group is P6/mcc. The dimensions of the unit cell are as follows： a = 0.91961（3） nm, c = 0.91969（7） nm, c/a = 1.0000, V= 0.67357 nm3, 7 = 120°, α= 90°, β = 90°. The accurate atomic coordinates of alkali metal ions and other crystallographic parameters are also obtained： Z = 2, the calculated density D = 2.754 g/cm^3 and final R （ I 〉 2 σ （/3）= 0.046 for 5597 reflections. The crystal structure was described by coordination polyhedron. Based on the data gained, a three-dimensional graph of the crystal structure of tabular beryl was made with the ATOMS 6.0 software. The refinement of crystal structure indicates that there are two main reasons for the cause of the tabular configuration： （1） The substitution of Be by Li into the tetrahedral framework weakened the stacked six-sided rings [Si6O18]^12- of the tetrahedral Si; （2） Alkalis （mainly Na and Cs） are too large to substitute in four-fold or six-fold coordination within the structure and are accommodated in the vacant channel. The accommodation of these alkalis strengthened the structure of six-sided rings of the tetrahedral Si. And other alkali metal ions and free volatile molecules such as H2O and CO2 occupy variable positions in the channel. The equation of the electrovalence is Li＋＋Na＋→Be^2＋. According to structural and compositional differences, the monoclinic crystal of tabular beryl is considered to be a new member of the beryl group. Chemical constraints of the environment, namely, the bulk-rock chemistry and the fluid-phase composition and physical-chemical conditions during the growth of the mineral may account for these occurrences of rare elements. In addition, that Li and Be have appro^mate physical parameters is also the key factor for the substitution. The direction of the mineralized hydrothermal liquid and the special occurrence conditions of the beryl such as the pH, temperature and pressure are also considered to be the main causes of the configuration of the tabular beryl.

Effects of Metallic Ions on the Flotation of Spodumene and Beryl

Effects of multivalent metallic cations, such as Ca2+ and Fe3+, on the flotation of spodumene and beryl were studied. The results show that Fe3+ and Ca2+ exhibit efficient activation on the flotation of spodumene and beryl. The ac- tivation of Fe3+ happens quite well within a pH range of 6-9 while the concentration of Fe3+ is 35 mg/L. Efficient acti- vation of Ca2+ takes place over at a pH over 11.6 at a concentration of 140 mg/L. The zeta potential of beryl and spo- dumene shifts slightly to positive values when activated by Ca2+, but markedly by Fe3+. New stretching frequencies of 1594.24 cm-1 and 1587.13 cm-1 have been found in the FTIR spectra of the two minerals after their interaction with Fe3+ and the collector. These new stretching frequencies are the asymmetric stretching frequencies of COO-(carboxyl anion), so thecollector may be chemically absorbed on the surface of Fe3+-activated beryl and spodumene.

Effect of Beryllium Aluminum Cyclosilicate on Thermal Expansion Behavior of Al-Based Composites

Beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate, an ore of beryllium was reinforced in Aluminum matrix to fabricate Al-beryl composites using powder metallurgy. Effect of the content of beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate on microstructural hardness and thermal expansion was studied. The coefficient of thermal expansion of Al-beryl composite was measured in the temperature range between 50oC to 360oC using dilatometer and was theoretically studied using thermo-elastic models, and these models were used to explain abnormalities observed experimentally. The hardness of Al-beryl metal matrix composites increased with the increase in beryl percentage. Vacuum sintering of Al-beryl metal matrix composites at 600oC inhibited excellent bonding between the matrix and the particulate increasing the strength of the composite. The result shows the CTE significantly increased with increasing temperature but decreased with increasing reinforcement. At higher temperatures, CTE of Al-beryl metal matrix composites with 5 wt%, 10 wt% and 15 wt% of beryllium aluminum cyclosilicate was 21 ppm/K, 18.2 ppm/K, and 16.8 ppm/K. The CTE values were found to be comparable with theoretical results. The turner model showed conformance with experimental results, was well suited to the experimental results.

Use of Spectrographic Analyses to Characterize the Unique Features of Sodic-Lithian and Cesium-Rich Platy Beryl

Since most beryls are characterized by prismatic configuration and originate from pegmatite and granite,platy beryl is considered especially rare. Therefore,the aims of this study are to determine the spectrographic and chemical characteristics of the platy beryl;examine the relationships between the spectrographic parameters and alkali elements and discuss the possible genesis of its platy habit based

Application of Multi-well Subsidence Analysis of the Beryl Embayment,Viking Graben,Northern North Sea

The Beryl Embayment is situated at the south end of the North Viking Graben in the North Sea. Three sets of normal faults, with N-S, NW-SE and NE-SW orientations, have been recognized in the Beryl Embayment. High-resolution subsidence analysis of 73 wells, combined with some seismic data, has been used to document Middle to Late Jurassic subsidence patterns in this area. The high temporal resolution achieved （1 to 2 million years per data point） has also allowed an assessment to be made of temporal evolution of faults with different orientations, and a study made of how and when the East Shetland Fault was linked and controlled sedimentary facies distributions. The results indicate that the East Shetland Fault can be divided into northern and southern parts which were linked together during the Early-Mid Oxfordian. The Mid-Late Jurassic syn-rift phase can be divided into four stages： minor active extension stage during the Bathonian-Middle Callovian, early syn-rotational stage during the Late Callovian-Early-Mid Oxfordian, syn-rotational climax stage during the Late Oxfordian-Early Volgian, and late syn-rotational stage during the Mid-Late Volgian. The results also show that there was a sequential variation of extension direction of active normal faults with different orientations, with an overall shift in the dominant orientation of active normal faults from N-S in the Bathonian-Middle Oxfordian, through NNW-SSE in the Late Oxfordian-Early Volgian （≈N30°E）, to NW-SE （≈N45°E） in the Mid-Late Volgian.

Studies on Mechanical and Wear Properties of Al6061/Beryl Composites

Beryl-Al6061 alloy composites having 2-12 wt% of beryl particles were fabricated by liquid metallurgy (stir cast) method. The tensile and wear properties of beryl-Al6061 composites have been evaluated and compared with its base alloy. The results revealed that the Al6061-10 wt% of beryl composites shows an improvement of 15.38% in tensile strength and specific wear rate decreases by 8.9% at normal load of 9.81N when compared to matrix i.e. base alloy. Significant improvement in tensile properties and hardness are noticed as the wt% of the beryl particles increases. The microstructures of the composites were studied to know the uniform dispersion of the beryl particles in matrix. It has been observed that addition of beryl particles significantly improves ultimate tensile strength and hardness properties as compared with that of unreinforced matrix.

Tribological Behavior of Copper Chilled Aluminum Alloy (LM-13) Reinforced with Beryl Metal Matrix Composites

The present investigation aims at developing copper chilled aluminum alloy (LM-13) reinforced with beryl using stir casting method. Matrix alloy was melted in a composite making furnace to a temperature of about 700°C to which preheated reinforcement particles was added (3 wt.% to 12 wt.% in steps of 3 wt.%), stirred well and finally poured in to an AFS standard mold containing copper end chills of different thickness (10, 15, 20 and 25 mm) placed judiciously for directional solidification. The resulting chilled composites were subjected to microstructural, XRD, mechanical properties (strength and hardness) and tribological behavior.Results of the microstructural and XRD analysis indicate that the chilled castings were sound with good distribution and presence of all the particles. The bonding between beryl reinforcement and Al alloy matrix (LM-13) leads to excellent isotropic properties without?any shrinkage or microporosity. Mechanical characterization indicates that both strength and hardness were maximum in the case of copper chilled MMC containing 9 wt.% and 12 wt.% reinforcement respectively. Strength and hardness of chilled MMC are found to increase by 9.88% and 16.66% as compared against the matrix alloy. It is observed that because of the ceramic (beryl) reinforcement in aluminum alloy, the wear resistance of the chilled composite developed has increased with increase in reinforcement content. At lower load, chilled MMCs exhibited mild wear regime with high coefficient of friction and at higher loads they exhibited severe wear with better wear resistance compared to un-chilled composite. It is observed that the increase in mechanical properties and wear resistance are due to incorporation of beryl reinforcement, the effect of chilling that has resulted in grain refined microstructure with good bonding of the matrix and the reinforcement.

Physicochemical Conditions of the Formation of Beryl and Aquamarine in Mufushan Granopegmatite Deposit, Hunan Province,China

The formation of the Mufushan granopegmahte was closey related to the Late Yenshanianmultiphase and multistage magmatic activities. More than one generation of beryl and aquamarineoccur in different types of pegmatite in the granitcs’ The presence of melt and melt-fluid inclusionsstrongly indhates a melt-solution character of the pegmatitic magma. Forming temperatures of the different generations of beryl in a Na +- K + -Ca2 + -CO3- -Cl- S4 - solution ranges fr0m 990℃ to200℃ touamarine was formed at 720- 180℃ The contents of alkali metals (Na+ + K+ ) in theore-formming solution of aquamarine are lower than those in the bery, but the contents of alkaliearths （Ca) and salinity are higher. The granite was generated by remlting of the basement formation (meta-sedimentary rocks of the Lengiiaki Group) which also served as the souree of ore-formingmaterial. Beryllium in the pegtnatite was transpbrted tnainly in the form of Na2[Be(CO3)2], withpart of it being complexed with Cl- and SO4 During the generation and evolution of thepegmatite, equilibrium might have been reached in the solid-melt-fluid or solid-fluid system. Theintergranular solutions may have reacted with the early crystallized minerals resulting in pot-ash-feldspartiation, albitization and muscovitisation during which the ore-forming elements were mobilized and transported in favour of ore deposition.

Geologic and geochemical features of the volatile-rich ore fluid and its tracing and dating in the Xuebaoding Beryl-Scheelite Vein Deposit,China

Laser Raman spectrochemical analysis on single inclusion reveals that multi-phase fluid inclusions exist in the Xuebaoding Beryl- Scheelite Vein Deposit. Besides the solid daughter mineral, there are vapor CO2, liquid CO2, water-deficient CO2 and salt water solution from its center to the border. A close study on the fluid inclusion components and carbon, oxygen, helium and argon isotope tracing and dating suggests that the volatile-rich ore fluid might derive from postmagmatic fluid and rare element enrichment is the result of the mixture of the plutonic alkali granite with crustal material.

H_2O in channel of pegmatitic beryl and its hydrogen isotopic composition

AT present, it is universally accepted that pegmatite can be crystallized from volatile-rich peraluminousresidual granitic melt in a relatively closed environment from liquidus to solidus. However, there still exist controversies on the properties of magmatic/hydrothermal transition, the presence of an independentfluid-phase and internal evolution in the system of equilibrium, the crystallization temperature of mineralstructural zones, the time and scale of the occurrence of metasomatosis and the process of rock/fluid interaction. The method of crush-leach analysis of fluid inclusions is still widely used in the study of theproperties of magmatic/hydrothermal transition because analysis of single inclusion is limited by the techniques. Thus the result of crush-leach analysis unavoidably encounters the contamination from inclusionsof multi-generations. Recently, Taylor and Giuliani et al. successively provided some important information about the volatile evolution （mainly H2O） of pegmatite and genesis of emerald ore deposits by use

喜马拉雅东部库曲锂铍花岗质伟晶岩的稀有金属矿物学研究

在喜马拉雅造山带已发现普士拉、热曲、吉隆、洛扎等多个岩体中花岗岩-伟晶岩与锂铍等稀有金属成矿作用相关,并有大规模的锂辉石伟晶岩(含细晶岩)产出。喜马拉雅东部的库曲岩体也发现了锂辉石伟晶岩出露,主要侵入到主体白云母花岗岩中。本次研究对库曲岩体中不同类型的花岗质伟晶岩进行了详细的岩相学、矿物学和年代学的研究。根据不同矿物组合和产出位置,将库曲伟晶岩分为四类:广泛分布的伟晶岩I,主要包含长石-石英-白云母;岩体西部桑玉村出露伟晶岩II(包含钠长石-石英-白云母带和细粒钠长石带)和伟晶岩III(锂辉石-钠长石-石英带);岩体东部出露细晶岩脉。库曲伟晶岩都含不同体积百分比的石榴石和电气石,以及典型的稀有金属矿物如绿柱石、铌铁矿族矿物和少量锡石。独居石和铌铁矿族矿物的U(-Th)-Pb同位素年代学结果显示库曲伟晶岩主要形成于~25Ma,还存在稍晚一期的岩浆活动,细晶岩形成于~14Ma。同时代的伟晶岩I、II和III全岩成分呈现出明显的变化趋势,K_(2)O/Na_(2)O、Zr/Hf和Nb/Ta比值、REE总量和Eu/Eu^(*)呈降低趋势,而稀有金属(Li、Be、Nb、Ta、Rb和Cs)含量逐渐增加。矿物的成分变化趋势更明显,从伟晶岩I到III中白云母的K/Rb比值和MgO含量明显降低,电气石向更富集Li、石榴子石和铌铁矿族矿物向更富集Mn(在伟晶岩III中分别接近锰铝榴石和铌/钽锰矿端元组分)、绿柱石向更富集Li-Cs的方向变化。伟晶岩III中锡石含量相对增加,常与锂辉石共生。细晶岩脉的矿物学特征介于伟晶岩I和II之间。综合上述研究显示库曲伟晶岩是花岗质岩浆分异演化的最终产物,矿物是伟晶岩形成过程和分异程度的有效指示剂,库曲的稀有金属成矿作用显示出Be、Be-Nb-Ta(-Sn)、Li-Be-Nb-Ta-Sn(岩体最边缘)矿化的变化趋势。锂辉石是库曲伟晶岩中主要的原生锂矿物,次生的锂辉石和石英后成合晶可能是在富锂流体中形成的,而不是透锂长石降温过程中形成的,这与库曲伟晶岩侵入到白云母花岗岩的产状相符。

希夏邦马峰地区含绿柱石花岗伟晶岩的地球化学及年代学研究

喜马拉雅淡色花岗岩是印度和欧亚板块碰撞造山过程中的重要产物,在造山带演化和高原隆升的相关研究中受到高度关注。近年来的研究发现其经历过高度结晶分异且与超大型锂-铍-铷-铯等稀有金属矿床紧密相关。本文报道了与希夏邦马峰淡色花岗岩相关的含绿柱石伟晶岩的矿物学、地球化学和年代学资料。这些伟晶岩中的绿柱石普遍呈自形,多数被包裹在长石和石英等主要造岩矿物中,显示出岩浆结晶的特点。矿物化学显示绿柱石的元素变化以通道-八面体替代和通道-四面体替代为主。希夏邦马伟晶岩中绿柱石地球化学组成与铍成矿伟晶岩中绿柱石相当,相对喜马拉雅锂成矿伟晶岩中的绿柱石具有更低的Li_(2)O、Cs_(2)O和Na/Li比,显示出寄主岩石以铍矿化为主。这与全岩地球化学显示的伟晶岩高铍低锂的特点相一致。除此之外,伟晶岩中铷、铯、锡等稀有金属元素也发生了明显的富集。伟晶岩中稀有金属元素与Rb/Sr比之间的强正相关性表明它们的富集主要受控于分离结晶作用。独居石U-Th-Pb年代学分析表明这些伟晶岩主要形成于ca.18~17Ma,与希夏邦马淡色花岗岩岩体的年龄相一致。同时,伟晶岩中的独居石还记录了ca.25~23Ma和ca.21Ma两期年龄,代表了区域上其他两期淡色花岗岩岩浆事件。在喜马拉雅中部地区,普遍发育这三个阶段的淡色花岗岩岩浆事件以及稀有金属成矿作用,进一步表明了淡色花岗岩的形成与分异演化对伟晶岩成矿的贡献。

Exploring emerald global geochemical provenance through fingerprinting and machine learning methods

Emeralds-the green colored variety of beryl-occur as gem-quality specimens in over fifty deposits globally.While digital traceability methods for emerald have limitations,sample-based approaches offer robust alterna-tives,particularly for determining the geographic origin of emerald.Three factors make emerald suitable for provenance studies and hence for developing models for origin determination.First,the diverse elemental chemistry of emerald at minor(<1 wt%)and trace levels(<1 to 100’s ppmw)exhibits unique inter-element fractionations between global deposits.Second,minimally destructive techniques,including laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(LA-ICP-MS),enable measurement of these diagnostic elemental signatures.Third,when applied to extensive datasets,machine learning(ML)techniques enable the creation of predictive models and statistical discrimination with adequate characterization of the deposits.This study em-ploys a carefully selected dataset comprising more than 1000 LA-ICP-MS analyses of gem-quality emeralds,enriched with new analyses.This dataset represents the largest available for global emerald deposits.We con-ducted unsupervised exploratory analysis using Principal Component Analysis(PCA).For machine learning-based classification,we employed Support Vector Machine Classification(SVM-C),achieving an initial accu-racy rate of 79%.This was enhanced to 96.8%through the use of hierarchical SVM-C with PCA filters as our modeling approach.The ML models were trained using the concentrations of eight statistically significant ele-ments(Li,V,Cr,Fe,Sc,Ga,Rb,Cs).By leveraging high-quality LA-ICP-MS data and ML techniques,accurate identification of the geographical origin of emerald becomes possible.These models are important for accurate provenance of emerald,and from a geochemical perspective,for understanding the formation environments of beryl-bearing pegmatites and shales.

滇西那俄花岗伟晶岩型铍矿床矿石矿物的元素组成特征及其成矿意义

滇西那俄铍矿床是近年评价的小型稀有金属矿床,矿体主要为石榴子石钠长石化花岗伟晶岩脉,赋存于二长花岗岩中。矿体长100~1150 m,厚度0.43~3.70 m,w(BeO)为0.007%~1.790%,w(Ta_(2)O_(5))为0.0032%~0.0533%,w(Rb_(2)O)为0.041%~0.317%。有用组分以铍矿为主,共伴生钽、铷矿;少数矿石以钽矿为主,共伴生铍、铷矿。矿石矿物以绿柱石、铌钽铁矿、白云母、钾长石为主,区内最明显的找矿标志是含绿柱石伟晶岩,其次是含石榴子石钠长石化伟晶岩。电子探针分析显示:绿柱石属于无碱绿柱石-低碱绿柱石,分子式为Be_(2.8928~2.9481)AI_(1.9766~2.0225)Si_(6)O_(18);云母中w(Li_(2)O)为0.5001%~2.4279%,w(Rb_(2)O)为0.7303%~2.3042%,属白云母—多硅白云母—富锂多硅白云母;钾长石中含有较高的w(Rb_(2)O),为0.4861%~1.0334%,分子式为K_(0.8932~0.9713)[Al_(1.0013~1.0151)Si_(2.9809~2.9990)O_(8)];石榴子石能谱谱系以发育Mn、Fe双峰为特征,以锰铝榴石(Spe)和铁铝榴石(Alm)为主,锰铝榴石体积分数达67.02%~69.07%,属岩浆成因锰铝榴石。本区Be元素主要赋存于绿柱石中,Rb元素赋存于钾长石和白云母中,Li元素赋存于白云母—多硅白云母—富锂多硅白云母中。白云母和绿柱石成分显示那俄地区花岗质岩浆初始Li并不富集,在伟晶岩演化晚期岩浆中高度富集F-Li流体活动是该地区稀有金属异常富集的重要因素。

青藏高原东北缘茶卡北山印支期(含绿柱石)锂辉石伟晶岩脉群的发现及Li-Be成矿意义

青藏高原东北缘茶卡北山地区首次发现锂辉石伟晶岩脉群。这些伟晶岩脉沿宗务隆山南缘断裂北侧密集出露,并呈狭窄带状北西向展布。到目前为止,已发现9条含绿柱石锂辉石伟晶岩脉(Li2O平均品位为1.11%~3.13%,BeO平均品位为0.06%)和13条含绿柱石伟晶岩(BeO平均品位为0.044%~0.056%)。伟晶岩锆石U-Pb测年确定其成岩成矿年龄为217 Ma,含绿柱石伟晶岩具有高SiO2(71.62%~77.34%)、Al2O3(15.57%~17.55%)和富K2O(1.99%~2.02%)、Na2O(6.09%~6.24%),稀土元素总量非常低(ΣREE=5.2~9.1μg/g),轻稀土元素略微富集((La/Yb)N=6.8~10.1),Eu具负异常(δEu=0.25~0.92),具有Cs、Rb、Ta、P和Pb富集,以及Ba、Th、La、Ce、Sr、Nd和Ti的强烈亏损特征。含绿柱石锂辉石伟晶岩具有高SiO2(75.73%~77.34%)、Al2O3(15.58%~17.52%)和富Na2O(3.0%~3.16%)、贫K2O(0.36%~0.79%),稀土元素总量也很低(ΣREE=5.3~6.0μg/g),轻稀土元素略微富集((La/Yb)N=3.1~4.6),Eu具强烈负异常(δEu=0.17~0.23)。相对于含绿柱石伟晶岩,含绿柱石锂辉石伟晶岩更加富集Cs、U、Nb、Ta、Th、Sn和B,更亏损K和P。含绿柱石伟晶岩和含绿柱石锂辉石伟晶岩锆石具有相似的Hf同位素组成,εHf(t)值分布范围在–15.1~–12.9之间,对应的Hf同位素地壳模式年龄tDM2为1.99~2.22 Ga,表明伟晶岩源于全吉地块古元古代地壳物质的重熔再造。茶卡北山(含绿柱石)含绿柱石锂辉石伟晶岩的发现可推断宗务隆山构造带东段是青藏高原北部一条新的、重要的锂铍成矿带,除Li和Be外,Nb、Ta、Cs和Sn可能也是有潜力的成矿元素。

锂辉石与绿柱石浮选分离的试验研究

通过单矿物浮选试验考察了无机调整剂Na2S和六偏磷酸钠,有机小分子抑制剂柠檬酸、草酸、乳酸、酒石酸和EDTA二钠对受Fe3+活化的锂辉石、绿柱石两种矿物浮选行为的影响。结果表明,柠檬酸和乳酸对锂辉石与绿柱石的抑制作用具有一定的选择性,但这种选择性并不高;酒石酸和草酸可强烈抑制这两种矿物,其抑制作用无任何选择性;硫化钠、六偏磷酸钠和EDTA二钠对锂辉石和绿柱石都具有较强的选择性抑制作用,且六偏磷酸钠和EDTA二钠对这两种矿物抑制作用的选择性优于硫化钠。锂辉石与绿柱石表面ζ电位测定结果表明,锂辉石比绿柱石更易与EDTA二钠和Na2S发生吸附。
