Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of geochemical mass migration calculation technology, and in particular to a method for calculating the mass migration of geological evolution. Background Technology

[0002] Elemental mass migration plays a crucial role in geological evolution. Traditionally, changes in elemental mass are described by variations in their concentrations, with higher concentrations indicating enrichment and lower concentrations indicating depletion. However, this view is incorrect because, under closed-loop operations, the n-dimensional elemental mass system transforms into an n-1-dimensional concentration system, resulting in a non-linear relationship between mass and concentration. This means that concentration changes cannot directly reflect elemental mass changes, and may even lead to instances where higher concentrations result in depletion and lower concentrations in enrichment. Therefore, concentration changes cannot accurately reveal elemental mass migration behavior. Elemental mass migration behavior is categorized into three types: enrichment, depletion, and inactivity. Elemental mass migration is a more effective indicator of elemental activity. Currently, the main international method for calculating elemental mass migration is the Grant equation (Grant, 1986). This method assumes the selection of inactive elements for calculation, but this process is subjective and may lead to calculated mass migration results that do not conform to actual geological facts. Furthermore, the Grant equation focuses on the initial matter and major evolutionary products, neglecting the role of minor evolutionary products in the evolutionary process. It does not fully consider the key parameters controlling elemental activity and cannot fundamentally reflect the laws governing elemental activity, thus having certain limitations.

[0020] A method for calculating the migration of geological evolution quality includes the following steps:

[0021] Step 1: Establish a concept box model of the geological evolution of initial material-products, in which the mass defect model is O→A+B, where O is the initial rhyolite system, A is the target metal sulfide subsystem, and B is other glass subsystems;

[0022] Step 2: Determine the mass concentration of each element in O, A, and B. , and The elements studied include Mn, Co, Cu, Zn, Mo, Ag, and W;
