SEM-EDS Investigation of Daughter Minerals of Fluid Inclusions at the Dexing Porphyry Cu-Mo Deposit, Jiangxi Province, China
摘要
On the basis of microscopic investigation of the vein (and rock) mineral assemblages and fluid inclusion petrology,Scanning Electron Microscopy and X-ray Energy Dispersive Spectrum (SEM-EDS) were employed in identification of the solid phases in fluid inclusions. The results suggest that 1) transparent daughter minerals in Q+Py±Cp±Cc veins include sericite, halite, bischofite, dolomite, iron-bearing chlorides, apatite and Ce-bearing phosphates, and opaque phases consist of hematite, iron-bearing oxides and chalcopyrite; 2) transparent daughter minerals in phyllic rocks include halite,anhydrite, gypsum, sericite, magnesium sulfate, magnesite, magnesium chloride, (Fe,Cu,Mg) carbonate and sulfate, while opaque phase include hematite, magnetite, rutile and chalcopyrite; and 3) daughter minerals in Q+Py+Mo±Cp veins are far less developed, which include halite,siderite and K-feldspar for the transparent daughters and hematite for the opaque ones. Finally, monazites and Ce-bearing phosphates in the fluid inclusions of Q+Py±Cp±Cc veins suggest that hydrothermal fluids forming these veins are hypersaline, acidic and CO2-bearing. Separation of CO2 from the liquid phases is likely to account for the absence of the Ce from the fluids of phyllic rocks and Q+Py+Mo±Cp veins.
