很多含硫化物脉状金银矿床的成矿过程可以大致分为3个阶段,从早到晚分别以形成黄铁矿一石英组合、多金属硫化物和碳酸盐网脉为标志。所谓中阶段δD亏损,是指在成矿流体δ16O逐渐降低(或升高)时,中阶段δD同时低于早阶段和晚阶段的δD。列举了一些矿床的氢氧同位素研究结果,例证了这种现象的存在;根据中阶段伴随大量硫化物沉淀的事实,认为硫化物沉淀时流体中H2S或HS-的H+被金属离子置换出来,H+加入到流体系统后导致了流体的中阶段δD亏损。对不同温度H2O-H2S体系1000Inα值的概算显示,在200~650℃温度范围,H2S或HS-的6D低于H2O的δD约211‰~478‰,H2S或HS-中H+的少量释放即可导致流体水δD的显著降低。因此建议,成矿流体从早到晚8180逐渐降低,中阶段δD亏损的规律,可以作为含硫化物脉状矿床氢氧同位素演化的概念性模型。
The metallogenic process of most sulfide-bearing lode deposits includes three stages. Three generations, from early to late, pyrite-quartz, polymetallic sulfides and carbonate veinlets, were formed in these three stages, respectively. In this paper the middle-stage δD-depletion in fluid is that the δD ratio of middle middle-stage fluid is lower than those of either the early- or the late-stages along with gradual δ^18O decrease (or increase if there is)of fluid from early to late. Through listing the δ^18O and δD data of several sulfide-bearing lode deposits, the phenomenon is evidenced. Considering that the majority of sulfides precipitated in the middle stage, we believe that H+ in I-IS- or H2S dissolved in fluid system was replaced by metallic ions, and released into fluid (water) during sulfide-precipitation, resulting in the middle-stage δD-depletion. A brief calculation of 1000lnα for H2O-H2S system in the temperature span of 200 - 650 ℃ shows that δD of H2S or HS- is lower than δD of H2O by 211‰ - 478‰. This means that, a slight H +-release form H2S or HS- can cause obvious δD-decrease in fluids. Hence it is suggested that the drastic middle-stage δD-depletion together with gradual δ^18O-decrease from early to late stages can be taken as a conceptual model for hydrogen-oxygen isotope evolution of sulfide-bearing lode deposits.
