A Study on Palaeogeography and Metallogenic Conditions of Early Carboniferous Bauxite Deposits of Old Weathered Crust in Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei Provinces

There are four subtypes. namely, Ia, Ib, Ic and Id of the Early Carboniferous bauxite deposits of the old weathered crust type in Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei provinces. They are all distributed in the Upper Yangtze old land. As a result of the Hunan-Guizhou palaeo-faulting, the crust on the northern side of the fault was uplifted and became land, thus suffering denudation. The bauxitic substances left in the weathered crust evolved and were reworked into bauxite. On the other hand, the crust on the southern side of the fault sank and remained to be part of an ocean. The bauxite deposits of Ia and Ib subtypes were formed by in-situ enrichment of residual bauxitic substances in the weathered crust of the old land, but bauxite deposits of Ic and Id subtypes resulted from transportation, accumulation and sedimentation of allothogenous bauxitic substances on the weathered crust of the old land. The processes of transportation may be distinguished as dry transportation and wet transportation, both of which proceeded under atmospheric conditions.

Influence of Deposition Conditions on the Crystal Structure of MoS_2 Coating

MoS2 coatings were prepared using an unbalanced bipolar pulsed DC （direct current） magnetron sputtering apparatus under different targets, cathode current densities, power modes and bias voltages. The morphology, structure and growth characteristics of MoS2 coatings were observed and identified respectively by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffractometry and mass spectrometry. The results show that MoS2 coatings evolve with the （002） basal plane parallel to the surface by using cold pressed target with lower density, lower cathodic current density, bipolar pulse DC power and minus bias voltage, whereas the coatings deposited under hot pressed target, higher cathodic current density, simple DC power and positive bias voltage have the （002） basal plane perpendicular to the surface. The influence of deposition conditions on the crystal structure of MoS2 coating is implemented by altering its growth rate and the energy of sputtering-deposition particles.

Geochemical Conditions of Metallization of the Lijiagou Pb-Zn Deposit, Gansu Province

The Lijiagou Pb-Zn deposit in Gansu Province is a syngenetic hydrothermal-depositonal and meta-morphosed hydrothermal weakly-reworked stratabound ore deposit. The metallogenic physicochemical condi-tions of the deposit are thoroughly dealt with in this paper according to its different mineralization stages.Based on the systematic study of metallogenic material sources, it is considered that the ore-forming metals, oresulphur and water of mineralizing fluids are mainly derived from the basement, reduction sulphur of marinesulfate and infiltrating heated meteoric water and partially recharged sea water, respectively. Finally, themetallogenic model of this deposit is established.

Spectroscopic Features and Formation Conditions of Sphalerite in the Lead-Zinc Deposit, Guangdong,China

Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra, absorption spectra, cathodoluminescence spectra and infrared spectra of sphalerite from the Lechang remoulded sedimentary lead-zinc deposit have been studied so as to provide microscopic evidence for the formation conditions and mineralization stages of the deposit as well as the geochemical processes of mineralization. On the basis of thermodynamic calculations, the stable fields of sphalerite from different mineralization stages were determined and are shown in logfs_2-logfo_2 diagrams; furthermore. the physico-chemical conditions of mineralization and the properties of mineralization solutions are discussed so that reliability of the genetic information provided by the spectroscopy of sphalerite may also be verified. It is suggested that the temperature and pH value of the mineralization system decrease, and so do the fugacities of O_2, S_2, H_2. and H_2S and the activities of HS^- and SO_4^(2-) from the early to late stages of minerahzation.

Comparison of Formation Conditions of Source Rocks of Fengcheng and Lucaogou Formations in the Junggar Basin,NW China:Implications for Organic Matter Enrichment and Hydrocarbon Potential

Shales in the Carboniferous–Permian Fengcheng(FC) and Lucaogou(LCG) formations in Junggar Basin are important organic rich rocks containing significant oil resources.To evaluate the difference in sedimentary environment conditions and hydrocarbon-generating potential between the FC and LCG formations.Total organic carbon(TOC),Rock-Eval pyrolysis,solvent extraction,column fractionation,stable carbon isotope,gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS) of saturated hydrocarbons and organic petrology from the source rocks of FC and LCG formations.were analyzed.The biomarker composition indicates that during the deposition of FC,LCG-1 to LCG-2,the sedimentary environment for the source rock formations changed with gradual decrease of salinity,from anoxic to dyoxic/suboxic in redox conditions,and from strong stratification to weakened stratification of water.The FC Formation source rock,with main telalginite(planktonic green algae),archaebacteria and minor terrestrial organic matter,deposited in the environment characterized by high salinity and strongly reducing condition.Its TOC content is relatively low with a high original hydrocarbongenerating potential of unit organic material.The LCG Formation source rock deposited in the environment with low salinity and large variations,the organic matter is mainly sourced from telalginite(planktonic green algae),lamalginite,bacteria and higher plants,resulting in strong heterogeneity of the source rock.The abundance of TOC is high,but the original hydrocarbon generation potential of unit organic matter is lower than that of FC Formation.The results provide a geochemical basis for further study of saline-brackish water sedimentary environment shales in the Junggar Basin.

EFFECT OF DEPOSITIONS CONDITION ON THE MICROSTRUCTURE OF C/C MINICOMPOSITE

C/C minicomposites were manufactured by CVI with propylene as resource gas and Ar as diluent gas. Effects of deposition temperature, the flow rate of propylene and total system pressure on the microstructure of C/C minicomposites were investigated. Deposition conditions are as follows: deposition temperature ranging from 870℃ to 1000℃, the flow rate of propylene from 10 to 60 ml/min, and total system pressure from 3 to 16kPa. The results revealed: The deposit distributes non uniformly as increasing the deposition temperature or total system pressure. The effect of the flow rate of propylene on the distribution of deposit observes different principles at different deposition temperatures. If the deposition temperature rises to 900℃, the deposit distributes more non uniformly as increasing the flow rate of propylene. The morphology of deposit varies with deposition condition, such as smooth, droplet like or spike like. Deposition mechanism varies with deposition condition. It can be surface reaction nucleation and growth, heterogeneous nucleation of liquid droplet on carbon fiber or gas borne nuclei growth. With the principle of nuclei growth of crystal and the method of phenomenology, the changes of deposition mechanism and the morphology of pyrolytic carbon with deposition condition were explained successfully. The effect of deposition condition on deposit homogeneity stems from the effect of deposition condition on the CVI kinetics and the deposition mechanism of pyrolytic carbon.

Photoconductive properties of lead iodide films prepared by electron beam evaporation

Lead iodide（PbI_2） films have been prepared by the electron beam evaporation technique,and their photoconductive response to visible light was investigated under different deposition and illumination conditions.It is found that the films＇ photoconductive response speed increases and the relative sensitivity decreases with the increase of substrate temperature due to the opposite requests for photo-carrier lifetime.Further,appropriately increasing the film＇s thickness and rising substrate temperature simultaneously can effectively balance the opposite demands.Under optimized conditions of a substrate temperature of 200℃,a source-substrate distance of 30 cm and a deposition time of 10 min,the prepared films exhibit the best response properties.In addition,the response to illumination with different wavelengths was also measured,revealing that the decline of response performance with increasing wavelength is due to the lower photon energy of incident light.

The Influence of Deposition Parameters on the Microstructure and Deposition Mechanism of Low-temperature Isotropic Pyrocarbon on a Bed of Fluidized Particles

To investigate the microstructure and deposition mechanism of low-temperature isotropic pyrocarbon(LTIC),chemical vapour deposition was conducted in a steady-state fluidized bed using different propane concentrations and deposition temperatures.The microstructure of LTIC obtained at different deposition conditions was characterized using scanning electron microscopy(SEM)and transmission electron microscopy(TEM).The results show that LTIC is composed of both globular-like and laminar structures.Increasing the deposition temperature is propitious for decreasing the nucleation barrier-forming pyrocarbon in vapour,causing the quantity of spherical particles with a smaller diameter to increase and the texture of the outer layer around carbon blacks inside the spherical particles to decrease gradually.Increasing the propane concentration also made the globular-like fracture morphology more obvious and caused the laminar structure to gradually disappear.Pyrocarbon formation is dominated by a surficial growth mechanism at lower propane concentrations,while gaseous nucleation mechanism is more dominant at higher propane concentrations.
