Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of uranium ore geological exploration, and particularly to a method for analyzing the genesis of uraninite based on mineralogy and geochemistry. Background Art

[0002] Uraninite is an important uranium ore mineral, and the study of its genesis is of crucial significance for understanding the uranium mineralization mechanism and predicting potential uranium resources. Traditional methods for analyzing the genesis of uraninite often focus on single research means, such as only relying on mineralogical characteristics or a certain aspect of geochemistry for analysis, which makes the understanding of the genesis of uraninite limited and one-sided.

[0003] In terms of mineralogical research, previous analysis techniques may not be able to comprehensively and deeply reveal the microscopic structure and mineral composition changes of uraninite, and it is difficult to accurately grasp its formation process and evolution mechanism under different geological conditions. In geochemical research, single element analysis or isotope testing methods may not be able to provide enough information to trace the source of ore-forming materials and judge the ore-forming environment, resulting in great uncertainty in the judgment of the genesis of uraninite.

[0004] Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a method for analyzing the genesis of uraninite that comprehensively considers various aspects of information in mineralogy and geochemistry. Summary of the Invention

[0020] The present invention comprehensively applies a variety of mineralogical and geochemical analysis techniques to study uraninite from multiple perspectives, enabling the comprehensive acquisition of characteristic information of uraninite, making up for the deficiencies of traditional single analysis methods, providing a richer and more accurate data basis for the genetic analysis of uraninite. At the same time, a genetic discrimination model is constructed through multivariate statistical analysis methods, comprehensively considering the influence of various factors on the genesis of uraninite, greatly improving the accuracy and reliability of genetic judgment, and reducing the uncertainty brought by single-factor analysis. It solves the problems that the current genetic analysis methods of uraninite rely on single research means, resulting in incomplete revelation of the microstructure, material source and metallogenic environment, difficult to accurately distinguish the genetic mechanism, and there are limitations and uncertainties in analysis.

[0021] Among them, preferably, step A is specifically: select representative uraninite samples and related wall rock samples, and carry out cleaning, crushing and grinding treatments; Among them, the sample collection should follow the principle of systematic sampling, and sampling points are arranged according to different geological units, mineralization zones and lithological characteristics in the whole mineralized area to ensure that the samples can reflect the characteristics of uraninite under different mineralization stages, different geological environments and different lithological combinations.

[0022] The cleaning treatment uses deionized water or high-purity organic solvents to avoid introducing impurity elements to interfere with subsequent analysis; the crushing ratio needs to be controlled during the crushing process to prevent the sample from being overly crushed and causing damage to the mineral structure; grind to a particle size that meets the requirements of analysis and testing, and the particle size distribution is uniform.

[0023] The cleaning treatment uses deionized water or high-purity organic solvents to avoid introducing impurity elements to interfere with subsequent analysis; the crushing ratio needs to be controlled during the crushing process to prevent the sample from being overly crushed and causing damage to the mineral structure; grind to a particle size that meets the requirements of analysis and testing, and the particle size distribution is uniform.

[0024] In step A, following the principle of systematic sampling, arranging sampling points according to different geological units, mineralization zones and lithological characteristics ensures that the collected samples can reflect the characteristics of uraninite under different mineralization stages, geological environments and lithological combinations. This makes the subsequent analysis based on a more comprehensive and accurate data basis, avoiding analysis deviations caused by insufficient sample representativeness, and providing reliable data support for accurately judging the genesis of uraninite. Using deionized water or high-purity organic solvents for cleaning to avoid introducing impurity elements to interfere with subsequent analysis ensures the purity and accuracy of the analysis results. Controlling the crushing ratio to prevent the sample from being overly crushed and causing damage to the mineral structure, and grinding to a uniform particle size and meeting the requirements of analysis and testing helps to improve the accuracy and reliability of subsequent various analyses.

[0025] Among them, preferably, step B is specifically: using optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy combined with energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, and electron probe microanalysis methods to comprehensively obtain the crystal morphology, microstructure, mineral composition, and chemical composition characteristics of uraninite; Among them, the optical microscopy is used to preliminarily judge the crystallization degree and formation environment of uraninite; the scanning electron microscopy combined with energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis is used to reveal the microstructure and element occurrence state of uraninite; the X-ray diffraction analysis is used to determine the crystal structure and mineral composition of uraninite; the electron probe microanalysis is used to quantitatively analyze the micro-area chemical composition of uraninite.

[0026] The optical microscopy observation should be carried out at multiple magnifications, and the crystal morphology, crystal face characteristics, cleavage, and twinning optical properties of uraninite should be recorded in detail. At the same time, observe its spatial relationship and contact mode with symbiotic minerals to provide various bases for preliminarily judging the crystallization degree and formation environment of uraninite; in the scanning electron microscopy combined with energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis, different accelerating voltages, beam currents, and working distances are used to obtain the best microstructure images and element distribution information of uraninite. When performing energy-dispersive spectroscopy analysis, select appropriate analysis areas and integration times to improve the accuracy of element content determination; the X-ray diffraction analysis uses the whole-spectrum fitting method for data processing to accurately determine the crystal structure parameters, lattice constants, and mineral phase composition ratios of uraninite, and analyze the lattice distortion and mineral phase transformation; the electron probe microanalysis performs multi-point analysis on different growth areas, altered areas, and inclusions of uraninite to obtain the distribution gradient and variation law of elements in the micro-area, and at the same time analyze the occurrence state and content change of trace elements.

[0027] When uraninite is closely symbiotic with other minerals or there are complex metasomatic relationships, backscattered electron imaging and cathodoluminescence imaging auxiliary techniques are used to more clearly distinguish the structure and composition characteristics of uraninite and its surrounding minerals.

[0028] In step B, optical microscopy observations are carried out at multiple magnifications, and various optical properties and their relationships with symbiotic minerals are recorded in detail, providing multi-faceted evidence for the preliminary judgment of the crystallization degree and formation environment of uraninite. This comprehensive and meticulous observation method can more accurately grasp the initial conditions for the formation of uraninite, laying a foundation for subsequent in-depth analysis. Scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy obtain the best microscopic structure images and element distribution information by adjusting parameters, improving the accuracy of element content determination; X-ray diffraction analysis accurately determines crystal structure parameters using the whole-spectrum fitting method; electron probe microanalysis performs multi-point analysis on different regions to obtain element distribution gradients and variation laws. The comprehensive application of these methods can deeply reveal the microscopic structure and compositional characteristics of uraninite, providing more accurate microscopic information for genetic analysis. When uraninite is closely symbiotic with other minerals or there are complex replacement relationships, backscattered electron imaging and cathodoluminescence imaging auxiliary techniques are used to more clearly distinguish its structural and compositional characteristics. This enables accurate acquisition of relevant information about uraninite even under complex geological conditions, enhancing the applicability and accuracy of the method. Among them, preferably, step C specifically includes: using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry technology for trace element analysis, using laser ablation-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry or thermal ionization mass spectrometry technology for U-Pb isotope dating, and performing Sr-Nd-Pb isotope analysis on uraninite and related wall rock samples; Among them, the determination of trace element analysis includes analyzing and determining the contents of rare earth elements, high field strength elements, and large ion lithophile elements, and judging the genetic type and material source of uraninite by analyzing the content characteristics and ratio relationships of trace elements.

[0029] The U-Pb isotope dating is used to determine the formation age of uraninite; the Sr-Nd-Pb isotope analysis is used to trace the material source of uraninite.

[0030] When performing trace element analysis and isotope analysis, multiple reference materials are used for calibration and monitoring to ensure the accuracy and comparability of the analysis results. At the same time, a quality control chart is established to monitor the analysis process in real time.

[0031] In step C, trace element analysis determines the contents of various elements, and judges the genetic type and material source of uraninite by analyzing the content characteristics and ratio relationships; U-Pb isotope dating determines the formation age; Sr-Nd-Pb isotope analysis traces the material source. These geochemical tracing methods provide key information for the genetic analysis of uraninite from different perspectives, helping to comprehensively understand the formation process and material source of uraninite. When performing trace element analysis and isotope analysis, multiple reference materials are used for calibration and monitoring, and a quality control chart is established to monitor the analysis process in real time, ensuring the accuracy and comparability of the analysis results and improving the reliability and credibility of the data.

[0032] Among them, preferably, in step D, the key variables extracted by principal component analysis are: PC1 (variance contribution 75%) with the highest loadings being ΣREE (0.92), Y (0.88), Zr (0.85), reflecting high-temperature crystallization conditions; PC2 (variance contribution 15%) with the highest loadings being U / Th (0.78), εNd(t) (-0.75), distinguishing the nature of the source area; in the scatter plot, magmatic uranium deposits are concentrated on the positive axis of PC1, and hydrothermal uranium deposits are located on the negative axis of PC1.

[0033] In step D, hierarchical clustering (Ward's method) is used for two-class division in cluster analysis. Class A (magmatic type) is characterized by high Th, high Y, and low εNd(t), and class B (hydrothermal type) is characterized by low Th and high U / Th; the discrimination basis is that class A samples overlap with global magmatic uranium deposits in the REE-Y-Zr triangular diagram.

[0034] Among them, class A (magmatic type): U / Th < 100, Y (ppm) is 200 - 400, and εNd(t) is -15 - -5; Class B (hydrothermal type): U / Th > 1000, Y (ppm) < 100, and εNd(t) is +1 - +5.

[0035] In step D, the discrimination rules output by the model are: for the magmatic type, it is required that ΣREE > 1000 ppm, U / Th < 100, εNd(t) < -5, and TDM > 1800 Ma; for the hydrothermal type, it is required that ΣREE < 500 ppm, U / Th > 1000, and εNd(t) > 0.

[0036] Step D also includes: Uncertainty quantification: Monte Carlo simulation is introduced to evaluate the confidence interval of the model output, and a discrimination threshold is defined. When the prediction probability > 0.9, it is a high-confidence result; when the probability is 0.7 - 0.9, it is a medium-confidence result and field verification is required; when the probability < 0.7, "cannot be determined" is output; In uncertainty quantification, Monte Carlo simulation performs 1000 random perturbations on the input parameters to generate a 95% confidence interval of the prediction probability; the discrimination threshold can be dynamically adjusted according to different exploration stages.

[0037] Quantify model uncertainty through Monte Carlo simulation, upgrading the prediction result from a single probability value to a confidence interval, meeting the requirements of ISO / IEC 17025 for the traceability of analysis results; the discriminant threshold setting avoids the "either-or" arbitrary conclusion in traditional methods and reduces the risk of misjudgment (for example, the probability of misjudging hydrothermal uranium deposits as magmatic type is reduced from 12% to 4%). Results with high confidence can be directly used for exploration decision-making, reducing the cost of drilling verification; results with medium confidence provide clear guidelines for subsequent work, improving exploration efficiency (cases show that the exploration cycle can be shortened by 30%).
