The results show that the primary fluid inclusions contain vapor and liquid phase type (Type I), daughter mineral-bearing type (Type II) and pure liquid phase type (Type III). The compositions of vapor are mainly H20 and CO2 with a tiny amounts of CH4 and H2; the liquid phase mainly contains Mg2+, Ca2+, Na+, K+, CI- and SO]-, and w(Na+)/w(K+)〉l; the homogenization temperatures of the primary fluid inclusions can be divided into 190-250 ℃, 250-340 ℃ and 360-420 ℃, corresponding to the salinities of 4%-9%, 9%-14%, and 14%-20.43% (NaC1 equivalent mass fraction), respectively. The mineralization process can be divided into three episodes: the silicatization stage, the quartz-sulfide stage, and the carbonatization stage, and all of them are associated with the ore-forming hydrothermal fluid activity. The origin of the hydrothermal fluid is from magrnatic water mainly, and later it mixes with the groundwater and meteoric water, which lead to the decrease of temperature and salinity. The decrease of salinity, temperature and pressure are the main causes of the metallogenic elements unloading and enriching in the favorable position.展开更多

Illegal mining of mineral resources has been a serious long term problem frustrating the Xishimen Iron Ore Mine management. This mine is located in Wu'an county in Hebei province, China. Illegal activities have led to enormous economic losses by interfering with the normal operation of the Xishimen mine and have ruined the surrounding environ- ment and the stability of the Mahe riverbed the crosses the mined area. This paper is based on field recon- naissance taken over many years around the mine area. The ground survey data are integrated with Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (D-InSAR) results from ALOS/PALSAR data to pin- point mining locations. By investigating the relationship between the resulting interferometric deforma- tion pattern and the mining schedule, which is known a priori, areas affected by illegal mining activities are identified. To some extent these areas indicate the location of the illegal site. The results clearly dem- onstrate D-InSAR's ability to cost-effectively monitor illegal mining activities.展开更多

Numerous spas and bathhouses might be built at these hot springs to take advantage of theses supposed healing properties such as skin diseases, rheumatism and so on. This paper is to find thermal reservoir and to classify the kinds of water. The majority of thermal springs are found discharging from igneous centers of Tertiary and Quaternary volcanic fields of the western Yemen (research area). Structurally these volcanisms are connected to N-NW faults that are parallel to the main Red Sea trend. Temperature and pH values of the thermal spring range 37℃~96℃, and 6.3~8.7 respectively. The Yemeni thermal waters indicate high variability in composition since they are of Na (K)-Cl, Na-HCO_3 and Ca (Mg) -SO_4 types, whereas the surficial waters have the typical worldwide Ca (Mg) -HCO_3 composition. Different liquid phase geothermometers, such as SiO_2, K^2/Mg and Na/K. Estimated reservoir temperatures ranging 70~140℃ perform equilibrium temperature evaluation of the thermal reservoirs.展开更多

Based on the study of phase changes occurring in initial raw materials as a result of its processing, it was proposed to carry out a preliminary enrichment of the raw materials in order to produce secondary sublimates. Their further processing involves a combination of leaching soluble material with distillation of germanium in the form of tetrachloride. The resulting acidic solutions are trended to the gallium extraction. Optimum conditions of carrying out of processes are recommended.The chemical and phase composition of the resulting dump products and solutions have been defined. On the basis of it ways of their processing for the purpose of reception of alumina and building materials are recommended.展开更多
