Textures and mineral compositions of the Xinjie layered intrusion,SW China:Implications for the origin of magnetite and fractionation process of Fe-Ti-rich basaltic magmas

The Xinjie layered intrusion in the Panxi region,SW China,hosts both Fe-Ti oxide and platinum-group element（PGE） sulfide mineralization.The intrusion can be divided,from the base upward,into UnitsⅠ,ⅡandⅢ,in terms of mineral assemblages.UnitsⅠandⅡare mainly composed of wehrlite and clino-pyroxenite, whereas UnitⅢis mainly composed of gabbro.PGE sulfide-rich layers mainly occur in Unit I, whereas thick Fe-Ti oxide-rich layers mainly occur in UnitⅢ.An ilmenite-rich layer occurs at the top of UnitⅠ.Fe-Ti oxides include magnetite and ilmenite.Small amounts of cumulus and intercumulus magnetite occur in UnitsⅠandⅡ.Cumulus magnetite grains are commonly euhedral and enclosed within olivine and clinopyroxene.They have high Cr2O3 contents ranging from 6.02 to 22.5 wt.%,indicating that they are likely an early crystallized phase from magmas.Intercumulus magnetite that usually displays ilmenite exsolution occupies the interstices between cumulus olivine crystals and coexists with interstitial clinopyroxene and plagioclase.Intercumulus magnetite has Cr2O3 ranging from 1.65 to 6.18 wt.%, lower than cumulus magnetite.The intercumulus magnetite may have crystallized from the trapped liquid.Large amounts of magnetite in UnitⅢcontains Cr2O3（＆lt;0.28 wt.%） much lower than magnetite in UnitsⅠandⅡ.The magnetite in UnitⅢis proposed to be accumulated from a Fe-Ti-rich melt.The Fe-Ti-rich melt is estimated to contain 35.9 wt.%of SiO2,26.9 wt.%of FeOt,8.2 wt.%of TiO2,13.2 wt.%of CaO, 8.3 wt.%of MgO,5.5 wt.%of Al2O3 and 1.0 wt.%of P2O5.The composition is comparable with the Fe-rich melts in the Skaergaard and Sept Iles intrusions.Paired non-reactive microstructures,granophyre pockets and ilmenite-rich intergrowths,are representative of Si-rich melt and Fe-Ti-rich melt,and are the direct evidence for the existence of an immiscible Fe-Ti-rich melt that formed from an evolved ferro-basaltic magma.

Design Strategy of Rural Settlement Landscape: A Case Study of Xinji Village in Beijing

Improving rural living environment is an important support for farmers to live and work in peace and contentment,which is of great significance to the shaping of happy and livable homes in rural areas under the background of "beautiful countryside".Through the comprehensive renovation of the beautiful countryside,great progress has been made in improving the rural living environment in Beijing,but there are still problems in rural settlement landscape such as poor quality of landscape environment,low utilization rate of public space,and insufficient protection of traditional features.This study took the design strategy of rural settlement landscape as the research entry point,took the rural high-quality landscape environment demand and the beautiful rural construction goal as the double guidance,explored the design strategy of improving the quality of rural settlement landscape through the methods of field survey and questionnaire survey,and put forward the following design points:①From the perspective of overall consideration and advantage integration,the overall framework of rural settlement landscape should comprehensively consider rural architectural landscape and living environment landscape;②efforts should be made to create public spaces such as the village landscape image Avenue,landscape sharing garden,and open courtyard in front of the house,so as to improve the environmental quality and spatial vitality of the village;③strengthen the protection of the traditional features of the village,such as the famous ancient trees,the texture of the courtyard,the quality of residential buildings,etc.with a view to promoting the improvement and overall improvement of the rural environment.

Tanning Industry in Xinji City

Xinji City, in the middle south of Hebei Province, has a tanning history of more than 400 years. The city boasted over 100 kinds of fur and leather products, over 300 workshops and shops and 24 foreign agencies in the early years of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). Since 1949, especially since 1981,the city’s tanning industry has witnessed a big leap. There are around 10, 000 tanning enterprises in the city with an annual industrial value of RMB 1.3 billion and an annual export value of US $
