Adsorption of rare earth elements onto Carrizo sand: Experimental investigations and modeling with surface complexation

Rare earth element (REE) adsorption onto sand from a well characterized aquifer, the Carrizo Sand aquifer of Texas, has been investigated in the laboratory using a batch method. The aim was to improve our understanding of REE adsorption behavior across the REE series and to develop a surface complexation model for the REEs, which can be applied to real aquifer-groundwater systems. Our batch experiments show that REE adsorption onto Carrizo sand increases with increasing atomic number across the REE series. For each REE, adsorption increases with increasing pH, such that when pH >6.0, >98% of each REE is adsorbed onto Carrizo sand for all experimental solutions, including when actual groundwaters from the Carrizo Sand aquifer are used in the experiments. Rare earth element adsorption was not sensitive to ionic strength and total initial REE concentrations in our batch experiments. It is possible that the differences in experimental ionic strength conditions (i.e., 0.002-0.01 M NaCl) chosen were insufficient to affect REE adsorption behavior. However, cation competition (e.g., Ca, Mg, and Zn) did affect REE adsorption onto Carrizo sand, especially for light rare earth elements (LREEs) at low pH. Rare earth element adsorption onto Carrizo sand can be successfully modeled using a generalized two-layer surface complexation model. Our model calculations suggest that REE complexation with strong surface sites of Carrizo sand exceeds the stability of the aqueous complexes LnOH²⁺, LnSO₄⁺, and LnCO₃⁺, but not that of Ln(CO₃)₂^- or LnPO₄^o in Carrizo groundwaters. Thus, at low pH (<7.3), where major inorganic ligands did not effectively compete with surface sites for dissolved REEs, free metal ion (Ln³⁺) adsorption was sufficient to describe REE adsorption behavior. However, at higher pH (>7.3) where solution complexation of the dissolved REEs was strong, REEs were adsorbed not only as free metal ion (Ln³⁺) but also as aqueous complexes (e.g., as Ln(CO₃)₂^- in Carrizo groundwaters). Because heavy rare earth elements (HREEs) were preferentially adsorbed onto Carrizo sand compared to LREEs, original HREE-enriched fractionation patterns in Carrizo groundwaters from the recharge area flattened along the groundwater flow path in the Carrizo Sand aquifer due to adsorption of free- and solution-complexed REEs.

柴达木震旦纪—三叠纪盆地演化研究

柴达木盆地震旦纪-三叠纪构造演化经历了2 个一级构造旋回,即震旦纪-中泥盆世开合旋回和晚泥盆世-三叠纪开合旋回,它们与祁连洋、赛什腾-锡铁山洋、昆仑洋和阿尔金洋在不同阶段伸展张裂、俯冲消减和闭合作用有关,其分划性时间界面分别为800Ma、377 Ma 和208 Ma,时间跨度分别为423 Ma 和169 Ma.第一个旋回自震旦纪开始张裂,柴达木形成大陆裂谷盆地;寒武纪-中奥陶世伸展为被动大陆边缘,柴达木表现为克拉通内(伸展)盆地;晚奥陶世开始俯冲消减,泥盆纪晚期碰撞闭合,柴达木形成克拉通内(挤压)盆地。第二个旋回表现为海西-印支期与南昆仑洋有关的弧后拉张-弧后造山事件,柴达木在晚泥盆世-早二叠世形成弧后裂陷盆地,晚二叠世-三叠纪形成弧后前陆盆地。在两个开合旋回的末期,均发生大规模盆地反转作用,导致柴达木及邻区构造格局、海陆分布和沉积特征发生根本变化。
