The results indicated that K enrichment capability was: Ethiopian guizotia(Guizotia abyssinica Cass.)>feather cockscomb (Celosia arpentea L.)>alligator alternanthera (Alternantheraphiloxeroides (Mart.) Griseb.)> tobacco>sesbania (Sesbania cannabina (Retz.) Pers.)>wheat (Thticumaestivum L.)>broadbean (Vicia faba L.). Ethiopian guizotia showed very high K-enrichment capability atdifferent soil K levels, and the K content in its dry matter was over 110 mg kg-1 when soil K was fullysupplied, and about 60 mg kg-1 when no K fertilizer was applied. For alligator alternanthera, the capabilityto accumulate K was closely related with its growth medium. When it was grown on soils, both the K contentand K uptake rate of the plant were similar to those of tobacco. Evident K dep1etion was observed in therhizosphere of all plant species, and the depletion rate was related to the capability of K enrichment of plant.展开更多

These rocks are exposed as flows, dykes and small intrusions along a narrow north\|south trending zone, which follows Tertiary fold belts and the Batang—Lijiang and Ailao Shan—Red River strike\|slip systems. Although several models were proposed to interpret their petrogenesis (Deng, 1989; Arnaud et al., 1991; Turner et al., 1996; Yin et al., 1995; Miller et al., 1999), their origin still remains hotly debated. Moreover, the published results were only focused on the high\|K igneous rocks resulted from partial melting of an enriched lithospheric mantle. Here, we present the detailed documents to testify the existence of a new kind of high\|K igneous rocks in eastern Tibet.Our new 39 Ar/ 40 Ar age data (Wang et al., 1999) and published age data for high\|K rocks in eastern Tibet show two distinctive magmatic episodes: one between 42Ma and 24Ma, and the other since ca.16Ma. They correspond to two types of high\|K magmatism in eastern Tibet. We name the older and younger groups as types Ⅰ and Ⅱ, respectively.展开更多

The world ’s keen demand for lithium resources has expedited the discovery of numerous novel lithium resources. Given the presence of varied classification criteria for lithium resources presently, this study further ascertained and classified the lithium resources according to their occurrence modes, obtaining 10 types and 5 subtypes of lithium deposits(resources) based on endogenetic and exogenetic factors. As indicated by surveys of Cenozoic exogenetic lithium deposits in China and abroad,the formation and distribution of the deposits are primarily determined by plate collision zones, their primary material sources are linked to the anatectic magmas in the deep oceanic crust, and they were formed primarily during the Miocene and Late Paleogene. The researchers ascertained that these deposits,especially those of the salt lake, geothermal, and volcanic deposit types, are formed by unique slightly acidic magmas, tend to migrate and accumulate toward low-lying areas, and display supernormal enrichment. However, the material sources of lithium deposits(resources) of the Neopaleozoic clay subtype and the deep brine type are yet to be further identified. Given the various types and complex origins of lithium deposits(resources), which were formed due to the interactions of multiple spheres, it is recommended that the mineralization of exogenetic lithium deposits(resources) be investigated by integrating tectono-geochemistry, paleoatmospheric circulation, and salinology. So far, industrialized lithium extraction is primarily achieved in lithium deposits of the salt lake, clay, and hard rock types. The lithium extraction employs different processes, with lithium extraction from salt lake-type lithium deposits proving the most energy-saving and cost-effective.展开更多
