古环境控制的滇东南铝土矿床矿物组合差异研究

Study on Mineral Assemblage Differences of Bauxite Deposits in Southeast Yunnan under Ancient Environmental Control

  • 摘要: 滇东南铝土矿被认为普遍具有岩溶型铝土矿特征,但不同矿床通常表现出具有显著差异的矿床地质及铝矿物组合差异,且成因尚不明确. 本文以滇东南地区红舍克和铁厂铝土矿为例,基于沉积相分析和多方法矿物学分析,厘定含矿岩系的层序演化和矿物组合特征,分析古环境条件对铝土矿矿物组合及成矿类型的控制作用. 结果表明,红舍克铝土矿矿体矿物组合以勃姆石、高岭石及赤铁矿、褐铁矿共生为主,形成于近风化壳的氧化—弱酸性条件,接近典型的“原地型”铝土矿特征. 铁厂矿体以一水硬铝石、绿泥石和针铁矿为主,代表还原—弱碱性局限浅海环境下的“异地型”铝土矿. 两矿区鲕粒圈层结构以及铁铝矿物的类型有所差异,也是二者古环境和气候条件差异的具体表现. 总体而言,红舍克铝土矿处于阶段性海陆过渡的古地理位置,而铁厂处于相对阶段性局限的浅海环境,且海平面升降旋回是控制铝土矿矿物组合分带和成矿类型分区的重要因素.

     

    Abstract: Southeastern Yunnan bauxite deposits are generally characterized by karst-type bauxite features, yet distinct variations in ore-forming geological conditions and mineral assemblages are observed across different deposits, with their genesis remaining unclear. This study focuses on the Hongsheke and Tiechang bauxite deposits in southeastern Yunnan. Using sedimentary facies analysis and multiple mineralogical techniques, we delineate the stratigraphic evolution of the ore-bearing successions and characterize their mineral assemblages. We further evaluate how paleoenvironmental conditions control bauxite mineral assemblages and metallogenic types. Results indicate that the Hongsheke deposit predominantly contains boehmite, kaolinite, hematite, and limonite, formed under oxidizing and weakly acidic conditions proximal to the weathering crust, exhibiting typical autochthonous bauxite features. The Tiechang deposit, conversely, is dominated by diaspore, chlorite, and goethite, representing allochthonous bauxite formed in a restricted shallow marine environment with reducing and weakly alkaline conditions. Differences in oolitic textures and Fe–Al mineral assemblages between the two deposits reflect variations in paleoenvironmental and climatic conditions. Overall, the Hongsheke deposit was located in a paleogeographic transitional zone between marine and terrestrial environments, while the Tiechang deposit formed in a relatively restricted shallow marine setting. Sea-level fluctuations are identified as critical factors controlling the zonal distribution of bauxite mineral assemblages and metallogenic types.
