Hydrochemical Dynamic Characteristics and Evolution of Underground Brine in the Mahai Salt Lake of the Qaidam Basin Qinghai-Tibet Plateau

The mineral rock salts present in the Mahai Salt Lake of the Qaidam basin exhibit high solubilities in water. In addition, the multicomponent underground brine exhibits a high salinity and is easily precipitated. In the natural state, brine transport in the brine layer is extremely slow, and the brine is in a relatively stable chemical equilibrium state with the rock salt media. However, during mining, both the seepage and the chemical fields fluctuate significantly, thereby disrupting the equilibrium and leading to variations in the chemical composition and dynamic characteristics of the brine. Therefore, we selected underground brine from the Mahai Salt Lake, collecting a total of 183 brine samples over three stages of mining（i.e., the early stage of underground brine extraction, the initial stage of mining, and the later stage of mining）. Using a range of analytical techniques, the chemical dynamics of the underground brine water and its evolution were systematically studied. We found that evaporation and enrichment were the main mechanisms of underground brine evolution in the Mahai Salt Lake, with cation exchange and mineral dissolution/precipitation being key factors in determining the dynamic characteristics and evolution of the brine.

Distribution,Origin and Development Status of Underground Brine Resource along the Coast of Laizhou Bay,Shandong Province

Genesis of underground brine along south coast of Laizhou Bay:hydrochemical characteristics

Hydrochemistry of underground brines along south coast of Laizhou Bay, Shandong, China has been analyzed. Brine samples were collected from 43 wells in this area. It was considered that the brines were originated from seawater. However, whether they were formed by seawater evaporation or seawater freezing was not fully sure. We created a simple method by plotting Na/Cl vs. seawater concen-tration factor (SCF) and Ca/Mg vs. SCF to determine the brine formation geochemically. Comparison of our results to previous seawater freezing and evaporation experiments indicated that the brines were formed by seawater evaporation. The ratios of HCO3/Cl of some low salinity brines in the study area were relatively higher, indicating that the brines may have mixed with other waters after the generation. The Br/Cl ratios of the brines decreased annually in the past 20 to 30 years of exploitation, indicating down-ward permeation of the brine from which bromine was extracted.

A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON THE DISTRIBUTION AND GENESIS OF UNDERGROUND BRINE IN THE LITTORAL PLAIN OF LAIZHOU BAY IN THE BOHAI SEA

Quaternary underground brine in the littoral plain region of the Bohai coast is new type littoral facies evaporation ore deposit in liquid state . This model of " littorally- forming brine " is based on study of the distribution, depositional environment, forming / storing process, and genesis of underground brine in the coast of Laizhou Bay . Essential conditions for genesis of brine are arid and semiarid climate , abundant sources of ancient seawater, and geological and geomorphological environment of wide tidal beach along a coast. The process of underground brine genesis may be : seawater/tidal beach-evaporation and concentration-seeping and accumulation- brine/tidal beach - burial (evolution of the sea- land )- underground brine .Underground brine is characterized by high content of chemical elements, shallow burial depth and easy exploitation . The process of extracting salt from underground brine present in the tidal flat is incomparably superior to that of producing salt from seawater, and has

THE FORMING-STORING ENVIRONMENT AND ABUNDANCE CONDITIONS OF QUATERNARY UNDERGROUND BRINE IN THE EMBAYED COAST OF QINGDAO

The discovery of useful brine resources in the embayed coastal zone of Qingdao is an important achievement in research on potential underground brine resources stored in Quatemary littoral facies in the North China coast. The Holocene transgression in this area provided the ancient seawater sources for forming brine. In spite of the unfarorable geological conditions (narrow littoral plain. shallow and thin Quatemary sedimentary strata) Qingdao’s embayed coast has deposition basins with bay-in-bay and weir dam ideal for gathering brine. The geologic structure of the littoral Quatemary deposition basin and hydrologic condition(deficient runoff) comprise favorable environment for the formation and abundance of underground brine.The embayed coast geomorphy controls the distribution of brine in patches that form small mineral zones in some parts. The brine aquifer whiment series formed under Quatemary littoral plain sedimentary and hydrogeologic environment are usually single phreatic ones. Part of the thick deposit areas consists of phreatic and poorly confined aquifers. Near the river mouth, there can someimes be brine aquifers interbeded with saline water ones. The basement of the brine ore deposits is comprised of Mesozoic rock formations. Underground brine is scattered almost all over the littoral plain and only in the larger plain’s area is the narrow saline water belt distributed beyond the brine zone. The structural features of the brine aquifer sediment series along the Jiaozhou Bay Coast are typical of those in the North China coast. We name it"Jiaozhou Bay Type" Its features are different from those of other brine aquifer sediment series such as "Laizhou Bay Type" and"Bohai Bay Type" in the littoral plain of the Bohai Sea.

Redox states of underground brine system along the southern coast of the Laizhou Bay

Underground brine samples were collected along the southern coast of the Laizhou Bay, Shangdong, China in two field investigations in 2003. The brines are confined in the Quaternary sediment and underwent a series of geochemical changes. The redox states of these brines were assessed qualitatively based on the measurements of Eh and redox-sensitive species such as DO, NO NO-3, Mn2+,Fe2+,SO42- in the brines. The redox condition of the underground brine is anoxic, and the redox reactions that controlled the redox potential of brines should be Fe(Ⅲ) reduction and sulfate reduction.

几种重要热液矿床成矿的岩浆作用贡献探讨

本文运用地球科学相关基础学科的基本理论知识,结合地质工作实践认识和矿床地质特征分析,对几种重要热液矿床成矿的岩浆作用贡献进行分析探讨,提出了新的认识。研究结果认为:(1)地下水是通过补给和排泄交替循环的,因此,通过简单的地下水的循环逐步转化为含矿热液成矿是难以实现的,地下水层控热液矿床成矿流体往往是经历了深部岩浆房驱动的热水循环。(2)地下卤水不是形成内生多金属矿床的矿源体,其本身不具有形成多金属矿床的成矿物质条件,产于板缘地热异常带内的热卤水中的多金属元素,是板块活动引起的强烈的岩浆-火山活动所提供,卤水起到了活化、富集和搬运金属元素的作用。(3)MVT铅锌矿床和卡林型金矿床的矿床特征本身说明它们的成矿与岩浆热液有成因关系。(4)根据变质作用和变质岩的定义,所有的变化是在固态条件下进行的,变质作用和变质岩难以形成变质热液矿床,其成因类型可归为岩浆热液矿床。(5)韧性剪切带是岩浆热力作用和构造应力作用下的塑性变形,成矿是岩浆热液在后期脆性断裂中充填交代而成。对矿床成因的正确认识,可有效的指导找矿勘查工作。岩浆成矿作用是最广泛、最强烈的成矿作用之一。

铝基锂吸附剂分离高钠型地下卤水锂资源过程研究

铝基锂吸附剂由于其解吸条件温和,不发生溶损,是目前唯一一种成功实现工业化生产的盐湖卤水提锂吸附剂,然而其在高钠型地下卤水中的应用可行性还有待考察。使用实验室自制的H-LDHs颗粒吸附剂,系统研究了吸附液进料流速、解吸温度及解吸液中离子浓度对固定床吸附和解吸过程的影响,实验结果表明,在高钠卤水中,当进料流速从1 BV/h(1 BV/h=0.170 L/h)增加到4 BV/h时,穿透时间缩短了79%,而穿透吸附容量仅降低了17.8%。升高解吸温度可显著提高固定床的Li+解吸量,而增大解吸液中的Na+浓度会抑制Li+的解吸。此外,开发了分段循环解吸工艺,并将其用于四川某地实际地下卤水提锂过程,该工艺能够有效实现解吸工段固定床出料液中Li+的富集。

山东省地下卤水型溴矿资源利用现状评价及高效开发建议

地下卤水不仅是食盐的重要来源,同时富含Br、Bi、Sr、Li、K、Ba等几十种化学元素,是一种重要的矿产资源。山东省地下卤水(盐、溴)矿主要呈条带状分布在环渤海湾沿岸黄河三角洲平原区、莱州湾南岸平原区和胶州湾西北岸,分布面积约为3003.11km^(2),推断资源量807734.3万m^(3),可采量28721.9万m^(3)/a。山东省地下卤水资源开发历史悠久,主要采用溴盐联产方式回收盐和溴两种资源,采用卤水→溴素→原盐、卤水→溴素→原盐→苦卤回收→盐化工产品等开发工艺。现阶段,地下卤水型溴矿资源开发利用企业全部位于潍坊市,共有51家生产企业。本次工作采用资料收集、统计分析、综合研究等手段对矿山企业开发利用水平进行了评价,平均采收率为77.9%,总体达到部最低三率指标要求,但有26个矿山溴矿平均采收率为75.2%,采收率偏低。通过对影响采收率水平的因素进行相关性分析,建立了入厂溴离子浓度和尾液溴离子浓度拟合方程,认为将入厂溴离子浓度控制在140g/m3,控制尾液溴离子浓度在25~30g/m^(3),有利于提升溴矿利用水平,减少资源浪费。同时提出了高效利用资源和加强监管的意见建议。

开采期停采期莱州湾地下卤水盐分来源及盐分组成变化规律

莱州湾地下卤水资源经历近20年高强度开采后显著衰退,探索其可持续开发模式日益迫切。滨海地下卤水可接受多类盐源的补给,具有可持续开发的潜力,研究地下卤水盐分主要来源及盐分组成变化规律,对规范地下卤水可持续开采模式意义重大。本文基于开采、停采期地下水位监测及地下水样品化学分析结果开展研究,认为莱州湾地下卤水主要受海水以及蒸发盐或盐岩溶解影响,离岸不同距离处地下卤水盐分组成年度变化规律虽然一致,但控制因素存在差异。开采期内补给地下卤水的盐分主要为潮间带生卤下渗的盐分,停采期内蒸发盐或盐岩溶解产生的盐分为地下卤水的主要盐分来源。地下卤水赋存区易受海水或淡水影响,以及处于开采或停采何种状态,是控制地下卤水盐分组成的主要因素。

莱州湾地下卤水形成的古地理条件分析

晚更新世以来在莱州湾南岸形成的地下卤水分布范围大,储量多,但地下卤水成因复杂。分析认为,地下卤水成矿条件受多种因素控制,莱州湾南岸的多源河流三角洲沉积演化模式为地下卤水资源的生成创造了良好的补给、运移、过滤、储存、封盖条件。在海退初期,澙湖水体由风暴潮作用下越过沙坝不断注入正常海水和位于其下部河流沉积物地下淡水共同组成,澙湖中产生的高矿化度盐水在回流渗滤作用下进入三角洲前缘,澙湖水体将长时间保持较高浓度稳定状态,在返流过程中卤水盐度会发生水平带状分异;在海退成陆时期,长期蒸发作用和季节性河流物质运输形成卤水存储,陆相沉积物掩埋了前期卤水层即成为地下卤水层;三次大规模海陆变迁,形成三个卤水层相间的分布特征。以澙湖-沙坝为卤水生成反应器,被溶解的组分在蒸发泵作用下产生分馏,在沉积物内发生离子交换作用,产生矿物蚀变,在回流渗滤作用下沿潮坪、三角洲前缘生成地下卤水。

莱州湾南岸滨海平原地下卤水水化学特征

综合运用数理统计分析方法对莱州湾南岸滨海平原地下卤水样品的水化学特征进行分析,结果表明:莱州湾南岸地下卤水水化学总体特征与海水一致,rNa/rCl,rK/rBr和rMg/rCa系数反映出当地地下卤水来源于沉积古海水,并且海水浓缩程度很高,而变质作用较弱;主成分分析中,第一主分量可以用来解释地下卤水形成时的海水浓缩程度,第二主分量反映的是在第一主分量海水浓缩强度大体一致的情况下,可逆反应CaCO3+CO2+H2OCa2++2 HCO3-的进行情况。

我国盐田首次产出南极石

南极石是极度干旱且寒冷气候条件下的产物,于1963年在南极首次被发现,并以发现地而被命名为南极石。在我国青海柴达木盆地,也曾有发现南极石的报道。南极石化学式是CaCl2·6H2O,可用来生产融雪剂,干燥剂等,具有广泛的用途。本文在青海省柴达木盆地西部南翼山地区,利用1940 m深处的地下氯化物型富钾油田水进行盐田蒸发试验,于冬季得到了南极石矿物。通过偏光显微镜下鉴定、X光粉晶衍射及化学分析,并参照前人矿物数据,确定为南极石。以前没有关于人工产出南极石的报道,这是首次在野外人工盐田条件下产出南极石,这对认识南极石的自然产出及赋存气候环境条件,对研究地区气候变化,具有重要指示意义。
