摘要:

随着全球经济的发展,世界对稀有金属的需求量越来越大,伟晶岩型稀有金属矿床因其数量多、成矿潜力大而走进了人们的视野。锆石作为伟晶岩中重要的副矿物,是研究伟晶岩型矿床成矿物质来源、流体性质、流体演化过程和稀有金属富集机制的重要对象。本文综述了伟晶岩中锆石研究的最新进展并探讨了其对稀有金属成矿的启示。研究发现伟晶岩锆石具有多种成因且多遭受热液改造,导致其具有复杂的年龄谱系,伟晶岩稀有金属成矿与老锆石存在关联性。锆石微量元素既可以指示伟晶岩锆石的稀有金属矿化,也可以反演岩浆演化过程及揭示成矿流体性质。稀土元素四分组效应是一种特殊的稀土配分模式,这种模式在伟晶岩锆石中同样存在,指示了熔体与流体之间的演化过程。伟晶岩锆石中的Hf-O同位素组成变化很大,Hf同位素可以很好地对伟晶岩源区进行示踪,O同位素是良好的示踪剂。伟晶岩锆石有着丰富的包裹体,利用流体包裹体测温以及成分分析解决岩浆演化阶段时间划分、使用高铀锆石追踪富U流体的来源以及利用锆石Li、Zr同位素特征来揭示成矿过程等将是后续伟晶岩中锆石研究的重点方向。

Abstract:

With increasing global demand for rare metals rare-metal pegmatites have attracted much attention due to their widespread distribution and great metallogenic potentials. Zircon as an important accessory mineral in pegmatites is important for the understanding of pegmatite genesis regarding the ore-forming source material, fluid properties/evolution, and rare-metal enrichment mechanism. This paper summarizes the latest research progress on pegmatite-hosted zircons and insights into rare-metal mineralization in pegmatites. Recent studies show that pegmatite-hosted zircons have multiple origins and often undergo hydrothermal transformation, which result in complex zircon age spectrum, where rare-metal mineralization is related to older zircons. Geochemical anomalies of trace elements in zircons can indicate complex rare-metal mineralization in pegmatites, constrain magmatic evolution process and reveal ore-forming fluid properties. The REE tetrad effect is a special mode of rare-earth distribution in magmatic rocks. Such distribution mode also exist for pegmatite-hosted zircons revealing complex melt-fluid evolution. Hf-O isotopic composition of pegmatite-hosted zircons is highly variable where Hf isotopes are a good tracer for pegmatite source areas and oxygen for fluids. Pegmatite-hosted zircon is rich in fluid and mineral inclusions, thus future key research should focus on using fluid inclusion temperature measurement and composition analysis to delineate the magmatic evolution stages, using high-U zircons to track the source of U-rich fluids, and using zircon Li/Zr isotopes to reveal the ore-forming processes.
