Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of geological and mineral survey technology, specifically involving a comprehensive survey system for the rubidium enrichment mechanism of metamorphic rocks based on micro-area in-situ technology. Background Technology

[0002] Rubidium, as an important rare large ion lithophile element, has irreplaceable application value in high-tech fields such as aerospace, electronic information, and biomedicine. It is mainly found in potassium minerals (potassium feldspar, biotite, muscovite, etc.) in metamorphic rocks, and mostly exists in the form of isomorphous substitution of potassium. Its enrichment mechanism is closely related to multi-stage metamorphic fluid activity and mineral generation evolution. Accurate analysis of the rubidium enrichment mechanism in metamorphic rocks is the core prerequisite for rubidium ore exploration and efficient utilization of resources.

[0003] Currently, investigations into rubidium enrichment mechanisms in metamorphic rocks mainly rely on traditional testing and analysis methods, which suffer from numerous technical bottlenecks. Existing publicly available investigation systems and methods generally exhibit the following shortcomings: First, insufficient spatial characterization dimensions, often employing two-dimensional planar characterization models, which fail to analyze the occurrence patterns and migration characteristics of rubidium along the depth direction of metamorphic rock samples. Furthermore, it is difficult to accurately distinguish between different occurrence states of rubidium, such as lattice states, adsorption states, and fluid inclusion states, resulting in an incomplete characterization of the spatial distribution features of rubidium enrichment. Second, limitations in the testing process, often employing linear step-by-step testing modes, leading to mismatched spatial coordinates in data from different instruments, thus failing to achieve meta-analysis. The data are obtained simultaneously from the same location, including rubidium, isotope, and geochronological data, but the data correlation is poor, making it difficult to accurately reflect the spatiotemporal coupling relationship between rubidium enrichment and mineral generations and metamorphic events. Third, the quantitative inversion capability is weak, lacking a dedicated model for rubidium geochemical behavior, making it impossible to quantitatively invert the migration flux and fractionation process of rubidium in multiple metamorphic fluid activities in an open system, and making it difficult to distinguish the contribution of element redistribution within a closed system and the superposition of external fluids in an open system. Fourth, the mineralization prediction accuracy is low, with existing prediction models mostly relying on single parameters, failing to capture the temporal evolution characteristics of rubidium enrichment and key ore-controlling parameters, making it difficult to accurately locate favorable rubidium enrichment zones.

[0004] Furthermore, existing publicly available micro-area in-situ survey systems are mostly designed for other elements such as boron and uranium. Their technical solutions, testing procedures, and algorithm models are all built around the specific geochemical characteristics of the target elements, which are completely incompatible with the isomorphous occurrence of rubidium, the tracing of the Rb-Sr isotope system, and the migration characteristics of large ion lithophile elements. Therefore, they cannot be directly applied to the investigation of rubidium enrichment mechanisms in metamorphic rocks. At the same time, existing rubidium extraction processes (acid method, alkaline method, salt roasting and water leaching method) suffer from low resource utilization and heavy environmental pollution. The core reason for this is the insufficient quantitative analysis of rubidium enrichment mechanisms and the lack of precise survey technology support. Therefore, developing a comprehensive system that can circumvent the shortcomings of existing technologies, adapt to the geochemical characteristics of rubidium, and achieve precise surveys throughout the entire process has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the field of rubidium resource exploration in metamorphic rocks.

[0023] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0024] Please see Figure 1-2 This invention provides the following technical solution: a comprehensive investigation system for the rubidium enrichment mechanism of metamorphic rocks based on micro-area in-situ technology, comprising: 1. In-situ petrography and precise characterization of rubidium occurrence: A combined pre-analysis technique of graded continuous chemical extraction and single-mineral separation was adopted. First, a four-step graded extraction was performed using deionized water → 1 mol / L ammonium acetate → 0.5 mol / L dilute hydrochloric acid → hydrofluoric acid + perchloric acid to separate rubidium in adsorbed, exchangeable, and silicate lattice states, thus identifying the main host phase of rubidium. Then, a combined heavy liquid (tribromomethane + diiodomethane) + strong magnetic separation process was used to separate rubidium-containing single minerals such as potassium feldspar, biotite, and muscovite, completing the pre-test of rubidium content in single minerals, accurately locating the key petrographic domains of rubidium enrichment, determining the sample preparation area, and solving the problem that traditional pre-analysis cannot locate the core area of ​​rubidium enrichment.

[0025] Three-dimensional spatial coordinate calibration: Rock fragments from the target petrographic domain are inlaid to form an epoxy resin target. Three non-coplanar laser-etched three-dimensional pit reference marks (50 μm depth, geometric center positioning accuracy ±0.5 μm) are set in the non-analytical area of ​​the target surface. Simultaneously, a nanoscale displacement scale grid is fabricated on the target surface to establish an XYZ three-dimensional spatial coordinate system covering the entire target. The positioning accuracy is better than 1 μm, compatible with argon ion polishing cross-section analysis, and provides a unified three-dimensional spatial positioning reference for all instruments, solving the deficiency of traditional two-dimensional coordinate systems in characterizing the rubidium migration law in the depth direction. In-situ identification of occurrence states: Using a combination of FE-SEM cathodoluminescence (CL) imaging and TOF-SIMS nanoscale surface scanning technology, BSE+CL imaging is first completed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) at an accelerating voltage of 15kV to identify ultrastructures such as zoning, fractures, and inclusions in potassium minerals (CL has a sensitivity to the generational differences of potassium feldspar that is more than 3 times higher than that of BSE); then, nanoscale surface distribution imaging of Rb, K, Sr, and Na is completed by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS) under a 20keV Bi+ primary ion beam (spatial resolution 50nm), which directly locates the spatial distribution of rubidium in mineral lattices, grain boundaries, and fractures, accurately distinguishes rubidium in different occurrence states, and outputs mineral distribution maps with three-dimensional coordinate labels and rubidium enrichment site navigation files.

[0026] 2. Multi-dimensional isotope mass spectrum combined analysis: Automatic 3D coordinate adaptation: Through automatic multi-instrument coordinate transformation and dynamic point adaptation algorithms, the instrument coordinate systems of TOF-SIMS, EPMA, LA-ICP-MS, LA-MC-ICP-MS, and SIMS are automatically registered with the sample target 3D coordinate system. The registration error is less than 1μm, enabling precise positioning of the same sample micro-area between different instruments and solving the core problem of data space mismatch between multiple instruments.

[0027] Closed-loop synchronous testing process: S1: Precise Quantification of Major Elements by EPMA: Based on the three-dimensional navigation file, the electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) is used to perform point analysis and surface scanning of major elements in the target rubidium-bearing mineral micro-region under an accelerating voltage of 15kV, a beam current of 20nA, and a beam spot of 1μm. The precise contents of elements such as K, Na, and Ca are obtained, the Rb / K ratio is calculated, and the different generations of rubidium-bearing minerals are preliminarily distinguished. S2: Simultaneous LA-ICP-MS Trace Element Analysis: Based on the results of S1, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) was used with a 193nm ArF excimer laser at a frequency of 6Hz and a mass density of 5J / cm². 2 Under energy density and 20μm beam spot conditions, in-situ trace element analysis was performed on the target micro-region to obtain full-spectrum data of Rb, Sr, rare earth elements, etc. S3: Synchronous isotope-chronology testing at the same location: Based on the Rb / Sr ratio results of S2, a laser ablation multi-receiver inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer (LA-MC-ICP-MS) is used to simultaneously determine the 87Rb / 86Sr and 87Sr / 86Sr isotope ratios and perform in-situ dating of potassium feldspar 40Ar / 39Ar within the same laser ablation pit. This achieves synchronous acquisition of element-isotope-chronology at the same location, completely avoiding the spatial misalignment problem of step-by-step testing. S4: Dating of associated accessory minerals and source region tracing: Using secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), in-situ U-Th-Pb dating and Sr-Nd isotope testing were performed on the micro-areas of monazite and apatite associated with the target rubidium-bearing minerals. The dating results were cross-validated and the fluid source region was traced.

[0028] Real-time feedback closed-loop triggering: The dating and isotope results of S3-S4 are fed back to S1-S2 in real time, dynamically supplementing the analysis points, improving the data coverage of rubidium-bearing minerals of different generations, and solving the defects of traditional linear processes that cannot supplement points and have incomplete data.

[0029] 3. Quantitative inversion of rubidium migration and enrichment behavior: Construction of 3D Multi-parameter Data Volume and Decoupling of Occurrence State: Based on a unified 3D coordinate system, all test data are layered and fused to construct a 3D space-multi-parameter fused data volume. Each 3D grid cell is associated with six categories of data: CL image grayscale, principal elements, trace elements, isotopic composition, dating results, and rubidium occurrence state parameters. Through the rubidium occurrence state decoupling algorithm, the total rubidium content is decoupled into three end-members: lattice state, adsorption state, and fluid inclusion state, providing a precise data foundation for subsequent inversion.

[0030] Intelligent identification of rubidium-bearing mineral generations: This method employs a three-pronged generation identification algorithm integrating composition, isotopes, and structure. First, a mineral phase intelligent identification unit identifies rubidium-bearing mineral phases based on CL image texture and K / Na and K / Ca ratio clustering. Then, a generation segmentation unit classifies rubidium-bearing minerals into different generations based on multi-parameter clustering of Rb / K ratio, initial 87Sr / 86Sr values, and rare earth element distribution patterns, combined with spatial structures such as mineral inclusions and interpenetration. Finally, a time-series verification unit performs absolute time calibration based on the dating results, outputting a structured dataset of mineral generations sorted by absolute time. This addresses the problem of low accuracy in traditional generation segmentation relying solely on structure and composition.

[0031] 4. Spatiotemporal coupling of multiple metamorphic events and mineralization prediction: Quantitative inversion of rubidium enrichment behavior: By calling upon a rubidium-specific geochemical model library and using mineral-fluid rubidium partition coefficients and thermodynamic models, the temperature and pressure conditions for the formation of minerals in each generation are inverted; the rubidium migration flux and source region contribution ratio of each fluid activity are quantitatively calculated using an open-system Rb-Sr isotopic mass balance model; and the critical conditions for rubidium super-enrichment are determined using a rubidium-like isomorphic substitution limit model.

[0032] Evolutionary sequence reconstruction and open system validation: By coupling absolute age, temperature and pressure conditions, and migration flux data from different generations, a full-cycle evolutionary sequence model of rubidium geochemical behavior with absolute geological time as the axis is constructed, including three major pathways: source region evolution, migration process, and enrichment mechanism. By coupling Rb-Sr isotope inversion results with Sr-Nd isotope results of coexisting monazite, the degree of modification of the protolith by fluid activity in the open system is validated, an iterative optimization closed loop is completed, and the inversion results are fed back to the model library to optimize the model parameters.

[0033] Intelligent mineralization prediction and visualization output: The time-series graph neural network prediction model based on attention mechanism is adopted. With the generation dataset as input, after training, the rubidium enrichment potential of the unlabeled micro-regions of the whole data volume is scored, and key mineralization control parameters are identified. Finally, visualization results such as the prediction map of favorable rubidium enrichment areas in three-dimensional space and the co-evolution map are generated, and a comprehensive explanation report of the rubidium enrichment mechanism is output.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
