It is a hydrothermal deposit related to alkaline magmatism. Dissolution of Au, Fe from pyrite and iron oxide (including magnetite and hematite) individual minerals in the three main types of ore shows: in iron oxides (magnetite and hematite), Au and Fe were dissolved simultaneously and their solubilities are positively correlated, which means Au is mainly chemical-bonded (lattice gold) and/or colloidal-adsorbed in iron oxides; while in pyrite, on the contrary, Au dissolution obviously lags behind Fe and the solubility of Au shows negative relationship with that of Fe, which indicates Au is mainly hosted as grains of elemental gold (or native gold) within pyrite. Previous studies revealed that the Hadamengou gold deposit is characterized by intensive K-feldspathization and holds high content of iron oxides occasionally replaced by sulfides, which was caused by oxidizing K-enriched alkaline fluids under a stretching geodynamic setting. These geological features, together with the high Au-content in iron oxides, comparable with that of the Olympic Dam deposit in South Australia, suggest that this deposit is the first example of iron oxide-type gold deposits in China.展开更多

The results show that the dissolution rate of dolomite increased rapidly with increasing temperature and pressure. From 75℃/20 MPa to 130℃/30 MPa, the total amount of released Ca and Mg increased from 32.98 mg/L to 337.9 mg/L, over one order of magnitude in difference. Thermodynamic calculation indicates that the increment of Gibbs free energy (△G) of the chemical reaction decreases with increasing temperature and pressure. This thermodynamic result is consistent with the experimental result. Based on the experimental results, it is suggested that secondary porosities formed by dolomite dissolution under conditions of deep burial diagenesis should be more common than those under epigenesis and shallow burial conditions, and therefore dolomite reservoirs in the formations that have been deeply buried should be more abundant than in the formations that have only been shallowly buried.展开更多

The experimental results showed that acidity was the most important factor that affected the dissolution of minerals in the composite mineral system. The lower the pH value, the more easily the minerals dissolved. At the same pH value, the dissolution abilities of different acids for various mineral components were also different. Compared to hydrochloric acid (inorganic acid), oxalic acid (organic acid) was more able to dissolve aluminosilicate minerals. However, the dissolution ability of oxalic acid for carbonate minerals was lower than that of hydrochloric acid. In the process of fluid-rock interaction, dissolution of feldspar was relatively complicated. Increase of temperature would accelerate the dissolution of feldspar. Under acidic conditions, albite had a higher dissolution rate than K-feldspar. K-feldspar could dissolve and convert into montmorillonite and kaolinite, while albite could dissolve and convert into kaolinite both at 40℃ and 80℃. Presence of organic acid, and decrease of pH value and water salinity were all favorable for the dissolution of feldspar, but weakened the ability to form clay minerals.展开更多

The results showed that mineral composition and reservoir space type control selective dissolution. In the carbonate rock strata with high calcite content, the calcite is likely to dissolve first to form secondary dissolution pores; gypsum and anhydrite in the carbonate rock can be dissolved to form mold pores in contemporaneous and penecontemporaneous stages. Porous carbonate has mainly enlargement of matrix pores, with porosity and permeability increasing correspondingly, but not obviously. In comparison, dominant channels for fluid are likely to occur in fractured carbonate or porous carbonate forming cracks under high pressure, resulting in a relative reduction in the dissolution volume, but great increase of permeability. With the rise of temperature and pressure, corrosion ability of acid fluid to carbonate rock increases first and then decreases, there exists an optimum range of temperature and pressure for dissolution, which corresponds to the buried depth of 2 250-3 750 m of the Cambrian. Considering reservoir characteristics of the study area, it is concluded that calcite in the penecontemporaneous period is the material basis for the development of dissolution pore, and carbonate rock were mainly dissolved by early atmospheric fresh water, superimposed and reformed to form high quality reservoirs by multiple acid fluids including deep hydrothermal fluid and acid fluid generated during the process of organic thermal evolution under burial condition.展开更多
