Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the treatment of the shell of a foraminiferal fossil sample, specifically a pretreatment device and method for cleaning the shell of a foraminiferal fossil sample, and belongs to the technical field of micropaleontological specimen treatment methods. Background Art

[0002] Foraminifera, as a recorder of geological environmental changes, has always been the main research object of paleoclimatology and paleoceanography. In addition to the identification of foraminiferal genera and species, the research on the ratios of elements (such as Mg, B, Sr, Ba, Li, U, etc.) to Ca in the foraminiferal shell, as well as the carbon and oxygen isotopes, boron isotopes, and calcium isotopes of the shell, is in the ascendant in the research on global climate change. Given that the foraminiferal shell is relatively small, mostly between 63 - 250 um in size, but the research on its community composition and the geochemical composition of the calcareous shell is of great significance for paleoenvironmental reconstruction. Therefore, it is particularly important to be able to better clean the shell of foraminiferal fossil samples for subsequent academic research.

[0003] The core geological samples obtained from drilling are mostly mixed with "oil-based mud" because oil-based drilling fluids are used during drilling. The basic composition of oil-based drilling fluids is oil, water, organic clay, and oil-soluble chemical treatment agents. They have high temperature resistance, resistance to salt and calcium erosion, are beneficial to wellbore stability, have good lubricity, and cause little damage to oil and gas layers, and are widely used in various drilling platforms.

[0004] This causes the geological samples to turn black and the cuttings to become compacted, bringing serious interference and influence to the subsequent microscopic analysis work of foraminifera. Therefore, all samples cannot be processed according to the conventional methods of micropaleontological research. First, the "deoiling" pretreatment work of the samples should be carried out. The existing treatment methods cannot perform the "deoiling" pretreatment work on the samples, and at the same time, the following problems exist in the use of the existing treatment devices:

[0005] After the sample is placed inside the treatment device for treatment, it is not convenient for the operator to take out the sample.

[0006] During the treatment process of the sample for the treatment device, stable fixation cannot be achieved, so that the treatment device cannot be kept stable and is not convenient to use. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The object of the present invention is to provide a pretreatment device and method for cleaning the shell of foraminiferal fossil samples to solve the above problems, so as to solve the problem that all samples in the prior art cannot be processed according to the conventional methods of micropaleontology research.

[0043] The placement component includes a limit disc 8, which is arranged between two support frames 9. A placement groove 901 is provided on one side of each of the two support frames 9, and a sliding groove 902 is provided on the other side of each of the two support frames 9. The placement component further includes two limit plates 801, both of which are fixedly connected to the outer side of the limit disc 8, are respectively arranged inside the two support frames 9 and are slidably connected to the support frames 9. Springs 12 are fixedly connected inside each of the two support frames 9. A moving block 903 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two springs 12.

When it is completed, the rotating handle 11 can be directly lifted, and the rotating handle 11 drives the connecting rod 10 to take out the sample on the placement plate 101.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11, The fixing component includes a support plate 15. The support plate 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed circular plate 7. One side of the support plate 15 is provided with an internally threaded cylinder 16. The internally threaded cylinder 16 penetrates through the support plate 15 and is rotatably connected to the support plate 15. A threaded rod 20 is threadedly connected inside the internally threaded cylinder 16. One end of the threaded rod 20 is fixedly connected to a clamping plate 22. The fixing component further includes a rotating rod 24. The rotating rod 24 penetrates through the fixed circular plate 7 and is rotatably connected to the fixed circular plate 7. One end of the rotating rod 24 is fixedly connected to a second bevel gear 18. A first bevel gear 17 is meshed and connected to the outside of the second bevel gear 18. The first bevel gear 17 is fixedly connected to the internally threaded cylinder 16. One side of the clamping plate 22 is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod 21. The telescopic rod 21 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed circular plate 7, which is beneficial to clamping the extraction tube 1 and the condensing tube 2 by the clamping plate 22 to keep the extraction tube 1 and the condensing tube 2 stable.

[0046] A transmission gear 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the plurality of rotating rods 24. An internal gear ring 23 is rotatably connected to the bottom of each of the two fixed circular plates 7. The two internal gear rings 23 are respectively meshed and connected to the plurality of transmission gears 19 on the two fixed circular plates 7. A fixed rod 26 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each of the two fixed circular plates 7. A pawl 25 is provided on the outside of each of the two fixed rods 26. The pawl 25 is in contact with the internal gear ring 23. A torsion spring 27 is fixedly connected between the fixed rod 26 and the pawl 25, which is beneficial to driving the plurality of transmission gears 19 to rotate synchronously by the internal gear ring 23, and clamping the extraction tube 1 and the condensing tube 2 by the clamping plate 22 in the fixing component. The adjusting component includes a lead screw 13 and a limiting rod 14. The lead screw 13 is rotatably connected to one of the fixed circular plates 7. The lead screw 13 penetrates through the other fixed circular plate 7 and is connected to the other fixed circular plate 7 through a ball screw pair. The limiting rod 14 is fixedly connected to the top of one of the fixed circular plates 7. The limiting rod 14 penetrates through the other fixed circular plate 7 and is slidably connected to the other fixed circular plate 7. A plurality of support legs 28 are fixedly connected to the bottom of one of the fixed circular plates 7, which is beneficial to adjusting the distance between the two fixed circular plates 7.

[0047] Specifically, by inserting the extraction tube 1 between two fixed circular plates 7, turning the internal gear ring 23, the internal gear ring 23 drives a plurality of meshed transmission gears 19 to rotate. When the transmission gears 19 rotate, they drive the fixedly connected rotating rod 24 to rotate. When the rotating rod 24 rotates, it drives the fixedly connected second bevel gear 18, and the first bevel gear 17 meshed on the outside of the second bevel gear 18, so that the first bevel gear 17 drives the internal thread cylinder 16 to rotate. Since the internal thread cylinder 16 rotates with the support plate 15, a threaded rod 20 is threadedly connected inside the internal thread cylinder 16, and the threaded rod 20 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 22. An expansion rod 21 is fixedly connected between the clamping plate 22 and the fixed circular plate 7. Thus, when the internal thread cylinder 16 rotates, the threaded rod 20 pushes the clamping plate 22 to move, so that a plurality of clamping plates 22 clamp the outside of the extraction tube 1, keeping the extraction tube 1 stable, and can adapt to extraction tubes 1 of different sizes. At the same time, through the pawl 25 on the outside of the internal gear ring 23, the torsion spring 27 pulls the pawl 25 to limit the internal gear ring 23. When disassembly is required, just toggle the pawl 25.

[0048] At the same time, the operator can also rotate the lead screw 13. Since the lead screw 13 is connected to one of the fixed circular plates 7 through a ball screw pair, the distance between the two fixed circular plates 7 can be adjusted, so that the two fixed circular plates 7 can respectively clamp the extraction tube 1 and the condenser tube 2, making them more stable.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 , a method for treating foraminiferal fossil sample shells before cleaning, specifically including the following steps;

[0050] S1. Wrap the core sample mixed with "oil-based mud" in filter paper and put it into the extraction tube 1. Pour 1 / 3 of the mixed solution of anhydrous ethanol and carbon tetrachloride into the flask 3, and seal and connect the flask 3, the extraction tube 1, and the condenser tube 2 from bottom to top;

[0051] S2. Connect the condenser tube 2, set the temperature of the water bath to 90 °C, put the flask 3 into the water bath to start the extraction process until the color of the extraction liquid in the extraction tube is clear;

[0052] S3. Place the degreased sample in a beaker, ventilate it thoroughly in a fume hood for 24 hours, then put it into an oven. After drying at a constant temperature of 60 °C, transfer it to a 1000 ml beaker, add an appropriate amount of clear water, boil for 2 hours. After the boiled sample cools down, conduct a simple rinse using a standard sieve with a pore size of 0.063 mm.

[0053] S4. Collect the portion retained on the sieve into a beaker, add 30 g of sodium bicarbonate and an appropriate amount of clear water, then continue boiling for 2 hours, and let it stand for 24 hours. After that, conduct a rinse using a standard sieve with a pore size of 0.063 mm. Collect the portion retained on the sieve and place it into a 500 ml beaker, and soak it in a 10% hydrogen peroxide solution for 24 hours.

[0054] S5. After the soaking is completed, conduct repeated rinses again using a standard sieve with a pore size of 0.063 mm. Finally, collect the portion retained on the sieve and place it in an oven to dry at 60 °C for microscopic identification and statistics.

[0055] Specifically, the three main parts, namely the steam pipe 4, the siphon 5, and the extraction tube 1, are all connected with standard ground joints to ensure the airtightness of the experimental process and prevent the overflow of harmful gases. However, it should be noted that no vaseline is applied to the ground joint part to avoid secondary contamination of the sample.

[0056] The extraction liquid in the flask 3 volatilizes when heated and enters the flask 3 through the steam pipe 4. In the flask 3, the extraction liquid vapor cools into liquid drops and drips into the extraction tube 1. In the extraction tube 1, the extraction liquid comes into full contact with the cuttings sample mixed with "oil-based mud" and extracts the oil-based drilling fluid components therein. When the extraction liquid level in the extraction tube 1 reaches the highest position of the siphon 5, the extraction liquid returns to the flask 3 through the siphon 5. This process repeats continuously, and the oil-based drilling fluid components in the cuttings sample are gradually enriched in the extraction liquid in the flask 3, thus achieving efficient treatment of the sample.

[0057] The extraction liquid used in the experiment for removing "oil-based mud" is a 1:1 mixed solution of anhydrous ethanol and carbon tetrachloride. The mass fraction of anhydrous ethanol (CH 3 CH 2 OH) is ≥99.7%, and its density is 0.789 - 0.791 g / cm 3 (at 20 °C); the mass fraction of carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) is ≥99.5%, and its density is 1.592 - 1.598 g / cm 3 (at 20 °C).
