Geochemistry and Geochronology of Intermediate Rocks in the Jiangshan Au Deposit in the Bengbu Uplift, North Anhui Province: Clues to Regional Au Mineralization

The Jiangshan gold deposit is the largest,most recently-discovered gold deposit in the Bengbu Uplift.The ore bodies are located in the structural fracture zone of the Zhuangzili Formation(Ar3),with major Pb-Zn and Au reserves.In this study,LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb analyses yielded a crystallization age of 111.5±1.8 Ma for the quartz diorite porphyry in Jiangshan.The quartz diorite porphyry has high Ba and Sr content,with low Y and Yb content,which is similar to the characteristics of adakitic rocks.They are enriched in large ion lithophile elements(LILEs,e.g.,Ba,U)and light rare ear th elements(LREEs),while depleted in high field strength elements(HFSEs,e.g.,Nb,Ti)and heavy rare earth element(HREEs).They have zirconεHf(t)values of-23.52 to-21.14(mean=-22.32).and Hf model ages of 2419.76 to 2569.39 Ma.The magma source area is the lower crust.Magma primarily came from the partial melting of the lower crust,with the addition of some mantle material.The quartz diorite porphyries are characterized by high zircon TTi-in-zircon values(608-757°C),Ce^4+/Ce^3+ratios(71.97-1387.10)and Eu/Eu*ratios(0.46-1.08),indicating high temperature and magmatic oxygen fugacities.High temperatures can provide heat to fluids and highly oxidized magmas can control the behavior and speciation of sulfides,thus controlling the behavior of Au.Finally,the ore-forming fluid is enriched and precipitated in a favorable structural space to form the Jiangshan Au deposit.

Removal Effect of Precipitation on Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM_(2.5) ) in Bengbu City

Based on the monitoring data of PM_(2.5) concentration in Bengbu Environmental Monitoring Station and precipitation observation data of Bengbu National Meteorological Observation Station from 2016 to 2019, the influence of precipitation on PM_(2.5) mass concentration in Bengbu City was analyzed. The results show that precipitation had a washing and removal effect on PM_(2.5) in the air, and the removal effect was related to precipitation level, precipitation intensity, precipitation duration and PM_(2.5) concentration. The removal effect of precipitation on PM_(2.5) increased with the increase of precipitation level, and the seasonal difference was obvious. Precipitation intensity was positively correlated with the removal effect of PM_(2.5) , but the average removal rate began to decline when precipitation intensity exceeded 10 mm. With the increase of precipitation intensity, the proportion of positive removal showed an overall upward trend, but there was a low-value area as precipitation intensity was 3-10 mm. Precipitation duration was also positively correlated with the removal effect of PM_(2.5) , and there was a low-value area when precipitation duration was 10-15 h. When PM_(2.5) concentration was low before the precipitation process began, the removal effect was not good, and the average removal rate was negative. As PM_(2.5) concentration was high before the precipitation process started, the removal effect was obvious.

Geochemistry of Rare Earth Elements in Xikeng Ag-Pb-Zn Ore Deposit, South Anhui, China

In this paper, a comparative study is done on the geochemical charateristics of REE in ore, ore-hosted rocks of Lantian group, granite related to ore deposit, and altered rocks for tracing origin of ore-forming materials. The result indicates that the ore-forming fluid and ore-forming materials for Xikeng silver-polymetallic ore deposit were derived from Yixian granite's magmatic activity. Water-rock reaction of the hydrothermal fluid with the carbonate-rich stratum led the altered rock to relatively enrich in HREE.

Impact of Holocene environmental change on temporal-spatial distribution of Neolithic sites in Huaihe River Basin, Anhui Province

The Huaihe River basin of Anhui is not only a transitional zone of physical geography, but also a convergent area of many cultures in China. It is one of the sensitive ecotones to global changes and the birthplace of Chinese civilization. Using the field archaeological data and the sporo-pollens and the age data of the drilling cores, we analysed Neolithic cultural development and environmental evolution in the Huaihe River basin of Anhui. According to the combination of some research results in archaeology with environmental evolution research, this paper discusses the relationship between culture and environment in the Huaihe River basin of Anhui. The Neolithic cultural development was strongly impacted by the environmental change. The primitive culture （Shishanzi） was developed in the beginning of the Holocene Megathermal Period with distinct regional feature of the culture. From 6.5 kaBP to 5.5 kaBP, the climate changed warmer and wetter. The frequent occurrence of flood and waterlog due to such a climate regime and high sea level caused the earth＇s surface environment deteriorated in the Huaihe River basin of Anhui and the interruption of the Neolithic cultural development, hence a lack of archaeological sites. From 5.5 kaBP to 4.0 kaBP, the climate changed from wet to dry, the natural environment was propitious to human survival. Dawenkou Culture and Longshan Culture flourished in this period. The Neolithic cultural development, the number of the sites and their distribution characteristics of the sites in the study area differed apparently from those in Central China and Shandong Province.

Petrogenesis and Geochemistry of Neogene Basalts in Eastern Anhui

The basalt terrain of the Neogene Huangguoshan and. Guiwu Formations of eastern Anhui on the east side of the Tancheng-Lujiang fault belt is one of a few Cenozoic basalt terrains in eastern China for which detailed geochemical study has not been conducted. This paper reports the abundances of major elements and more than 20 trace elements (including REE) of 22 samples and the Nd, Sr and Pb isotopic compositions of 11 samples from the eastern Anhui basalt terrain, thus more or less systematically revealing the geochemical characteristics of this continental basalt suite. The paper discusses the origin of the basalt suite and the character and process of its mantle source. The basalt suite was derived from a heterogeneous continental lithospheric mantle with end members characteristic of the EMI-type oceanic basalt mantle, which was affected by mantle metasomatism (or enrichment of trace elements) and was characterized by a multi-stage evolution under open conditions.

Spatio-temporal Distribution Characteristics and Environmental Impact Factors of Lung Cancer Mortality: A Case Study of Yuhui District in Bengbu City, China

Among cancers, lung cancer is the most common cause of death in China. For the prevention and control of lung cancer, it is necessary to investigate the spatial and temporal distribution of lung cancer mortality, as well as the changes in the trend and the affecting mechanism. Based on statistics and auto-correlation analysis, this paper studied the spatial and temporal distribution of lung cancer mortality in Yuhui District, Bengbu, Huaihe River Basin, from 2017 to 2020. In addition, Spearman’s Rank Correlation Assessment Model and Geographic Detector Model were used to examine the relationship between environmental factors and lung cancer mortality to identify impact factors and their mechanisms. The findings indicated that: 1) from the characteristics of temporal distribution, the number of lung cancer deaths exhibited a linear growth tendency, with the highest mortality in winter;2) from the characteristics of spatial distribution, lung cancer mortality showed a strong spatial agglomeration form, concentrating on two clustering areas, located in the old city and the central city of Bengbu, near the Huaihe River;3) from the point of view of the whole research area, there were 15 impact factors with significant correlation in the built and natural environment factors. The significant impacting factors in the built environment included land use, road traffic, spatial form and blue-green space, which could indirectly affect lung cancer mortality, while air pollution and temperature constituted the significant impacting factors in the natural environment;4) the influence of screened environmental factors on lung cancer mortality was different. Spatial stratified heterogeneity assessment, the interaction among environmental factors demonstrated statistical significance, it was found that the interaction between environmental factors in pairs had a significant enhancement effect on lung cancer mortality. To some extent, urban planning and policies could reduce lung cancer mortality.

The Late Proterozoic Trench-Basin-Arc System in the Northeastern Jiangxi-Southern Anhui Region

Proterozoic rocks in the northeastern Jiangxi-southern Anhui may fall into three rock associations whichbelong to different but interrelated tectono-palaeogeographic units. The field geological and petrochemicalcharacteristics of the northeastern Jiangxi-western Zhejiang volcanic zone indicate that it was once an islandarc zone. An analysis of the sedimentary characteristics of Proterozoic turbidites lying north of the zone has re-vealed the history of development of a back-arc basin. According to the type of the Proterozoic rock formationsouth of the zone, it may be deduced that the formation might represent the fore-arc and trench areas. Bymeans of various tectono-palaeogeographic analyses, the relation between the island arc zone and the back-arcbasin is inferred and the Late Proterozoic tectono-palaeogeographic development is discussed by using themodel of the trench-arc-basin system.
