Embodiments of the present application relate to the application of
thermal methods to test or analyze materials, and in particular to a method for estimating the
precipitation temperature of pitchblende in granite-type low-temperature hydrothermal
uranium deposits, which can include the following steps: S10: collecting
vein ore samples containing primary pitchblende veins in the survey area; S20:
processing the
vein ore samples to obtain
calcite single mineral samples and
fluorite single mineral samples; S30: analyzing the
calcite single mineral and
fluorite single mineral samples to determine the
carbon isotope composition of the
calcite single mineral samples and the
carbon isotope composition of the
fluid inclusions in the
fluorite single mineral samples; S40: determining the carbon
isotope equilibrium temperature according to the
carbon isotope composition; S50: determining the
precipitation temperature of pitchblende in granite-type low-temperature hydrothermal
uranium deposits according to the carbon
isotope equilibrium temperature. The method provided by the embodiments of the present application can determine the
precipitation temperature of pitchblende through the carbon
isotope composition of the coeval calcite and fluorite, and the determined precipitation temperature is accurate and reliable.
