The application discloses a kind of
sedimentary basin hydrothermal activity tracer method, belong to
geochemistry and
isotopic tracer field.The tracer method includes the pretreatment of mixed mineral sample,
lithium element separation and purification and δ 7 Li carb Value determination;The
correlation analysis of δ 7 Li carb Value and the main
trace element characteristics of sample;The measurement δ 7 Li carb Value of mixed mineral sample is corrected: the
correlation analysis of corrected data of mixed mineral sample and hydrothermal
activity index and anti
weathering index;Determine the δ 7 Li 校正后 Background value in study sequence, judge hydrothermal activity enhancement period, hydrothermal activity weakening period or non-hydrothermal dominant period by comparing
lithium isotopic ratio of continuous section and background interval value difference.The method has the advantages of continuous
high resolution, wide temperature range sensitive response, mechanism is clear, strong anti-interference ability and strong universality.
