Meanwhile, the sandstone sample and the control sample are prepared into samples of the first particle size and samples of the second particle size, which can minimize the processing work of the obtained sandstone sample and the obtained control sample, reduce intermediate links, and thus reduce the pollution probability of the intermediate links to the samples, and is conducive to accurately measuring the above-mentioned contents and the chemical weathering index of the samples. Furthermore, the sandstone sample and the control sample are prepared into samples of the first particle size and samples of the second particle size, which facilitates the measurement of the content of illite, montmorillonite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / montmorillonite mixed layer, and illite / montmorillonite mixed layer in the obtained samples and the content of SiO2, K2O, Na2O, CaO, and Al2O3 in the samples.
[0021] In some embodiments, the first particle size can be 60-80 mesh, so as to facilitate the measurement of the content of illite, montmorillonite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / montmorillonite mixed layer, and illite / montmorillonite mixed layer in the sample of the first particle size.

[0023] In some embodiments, in the step S20, each sandstone sample can be processed to prepare one sandstone sample of the first particle size and one sandstone sample of the second particle size, that is, the number of sandstone samples of the first particle size and the number of sandstone samples of the second particle size are the same as the number of obtained sandstone samples; in the step S60, the processing of the obtained control sample is the same as above.
[0024] In some embodiments, in the step S60, at least three control samples are obtained from each production area when the plurality of control samples are obtained.

Since the contribution rate sum of the plurality of characteristic values determined in the step S73 is greater than the preset contribution rate value, the embodiments of the present application can determine the production distribution rule of the plurality of control samples according to the plurality of characteristic values determined in the step S73, thereby ensuring accuracy, reducing determination difficulty, and improving determination efficiency.
[0026] In some embodiments, the preset contribution rate value can be 80%.
[0027] In some embodiments, in the step S74, the number of classification functions determined is equal to the number of characteristic values determined in the step S73.
[0028] Specifically, the contribution rate of each characteristic value in determining the production area satisfies the following relationship

[0037] Specifically, the matrix D determined in the step S7174 is
[0038]
[0039] wherein d 11 to d m1 represent the difference values determined in the step S714, d 12 to d m2 , d 13 to d m3 , d 14 to d m4 , d 15 to d m5 , d 16 to d m6 , d 17 to d m7 represent the difference values determined in the step S715; d 18 to d m8 represent the difference values determined in the step S716, and m is the number of the reference samples; the intermediate matrix ∑ determined in the step S7175 satisfies the following relationship with the matrix D determined in the step S7174

[0041] The intermediate matrix ∑ determined in the step S7175 and the plurality of eigenvalues related to the provenance of the sandstone satisfy the following relationship
[0042] det(∑-λI)=0,
[0043] wherein λ is the eigenvalue related to the provenance of the sandstone, and I is a unit matrix with the same number of elements as the intermediate matrix ∑.
[0044] In some embodiments, in the step S742, the following steps can also be included: S7421, determining a plurality of intermediate vectors V i; S7422, multiplying the chemical weathering index of the plurality of control samples and the illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer, illite / smectite mixed layer content in the plurality of control samples, and the ratio of the SiO2 content to the Al2O3 content of the plurality of control samples by the intermediate vector V determined in S7421, and summing the results to determine a, b, e, and d. i , the chemical weathering index of the plurality of control samples and the illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer, illite / smectite mixed layer content in the plurality of control samples, and the ratio of the SiO2 content to the Al2O3 content of the plurality of control samples, to determine a, b, e, and d.
[0045] In particular, the plurality of characteristic values determined in S73, the intermediate matrix ∑ determined in S7175, and the intermediate vector V i satisfy the following relationship
[0046] (∑-λ i I)V i = 0,
[0047] where λ i is the ith eigenvalue determined in S73.

[0049] In some embodiments, in the S75 step, the following steps can also be included: S751, determining the plurality of classification function values corresponding to each control sample according to the plurality of classification functions determined in the S74 step, the chemical weathering index of each control sample, and the illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer, illite / smectite mixed layer content in each control sample, and the ratio of the SiO2 content to the Al2O3 content of each control sample; S752, determining a relationship diagram of the plurality of control samples and the plurality of classification functions; S753, determining the position of each control sample in the relationship diagram according to the plurality of classification function values corresponding to each control sample; S754, determining the origin distribution regularity of the plurality of control samples according to the positions of the plurality of control samples in the relationship diagram and the origins of each control sample. In such embodiments, by determining the relationship diagram of the plurality of classification functions, the origin distribution regularity of the control samples can be intuitively displayed and determined through the relationship diagram, and then the origin of the sandstone sample to be determined can be determined through the origin distribution regularity of the control samples.

In such an embodiment, since samples of the same origin are distributed in the same area in the relationship diagram, in such an embodiment, the position of each sandstone sample in the relationship diagram is determined according to the distribution of the sandstone samples of the to-be-determined origin in the relationship diagram and the multiple classification function values corresponding to each sandstone sample, and the control samples of the same origin as the sandstone samples of the to-be-determined origin are determined according to the position of each sandstone sample in the relationship diagram and the origin distribution pattern of the multiple control samples. In this way, the origin of the sandstone samples of the to-be-determined origin can be determined according to the origin of the control samples, which is conducive to intuitively and efficiently determining the origin of the sandstone samples of the to-be-determined origin.
[0051] In some embodiments, before step S70, the method further includes: S700, correcting the contents of illite, montmorillonite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / montmorillonite mixed layer, and illite / montmorillonite mixed layer in the plurality of sandstone samples of the first particle size determined in step S30.

In such an embodiment, the contents of illite, montmorillonite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / montmorillonite mixed layer, and illite / montmorillonite mixed layer in multiple sandstone samples of the first particle size are first corrected, and then multiple characteristic values related to the origin of the control sample are determined based on the corrected contents of illite, montmorillonite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / montmorillonite mixed layer, and illite / montmorillonite mixed layer. This can reduce the complexity of the process of determining the multiple characteristic values related to the origin of the control sample and simplify the operation of determining the multiple characteristic values related to the origin of the control sample.
[0052] In some embodiments, in step S700, the illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer, illite / smectite mixed layer content in the measured plurality of sandstone samples of the first particle size is multiplied by 100 to obtain the corrected illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer, illite / smectite mixed layer content.

In such embodiments, pressing the sandstone samples of the first particle size into pressed samples can reduce the voids in the samples, ensure measurement accuracy, and facilitate accurate measurement of the content, thereby improving the accuracy of the measured illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer, and illite / smectite mixed layer content; and repeatedly measuring the pressed samples and taking the average of the repeated measurements as the illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer, and illite / smectite mixed layer content in the plurality of sandstone samples of the first particle size can avoid accidental errors during measurement, and also facilitate improving the accuracy of the measured illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer, and illite / smectite mixed layer content.
[0054] In some embodiments, in step S31, a tablet press can be used to press the plurality of sandstone samples of the first particle size into a plurality of pressed samples. Specifically, the pressure of the tablet press can be set to a maximum of 20 tons, and constant pressure pressing can be performed for 1 minute.
[0055] Embodiments of the present application facilitate ensuring that the internal structure of the pressed samples obtained by constant pressure pressing the sandstone samples of the first particle size is uniform, and facilitate accurate measurement of the illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer, and illite / smectite mixed layer content.
[0056] In some embodiments, in step S32, X-ray can be used to measure the illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer, and illite / smectite mixed layer content in the pressed samples. Specifically, the X-ray tube voltage can be set to a maximum of 50 kV, the current can be set to a maximum of 100 mA, and the detection time can be set to 30 seconds.
[0057] In some embodiments, in the step S32, 3-10 measurements can be performed for each tablet sample, and the average of the 3-10 measurements is taken as the content of illite, smectite, chlorite, kaolinite, chlorite / smectite mixed layer and illite / smectite mixed layer in the first-granularity sandstone sample. For example, 5 measurements can be performed for each tablet sample.
