Abstract

The chemical composition of the arsenopyrite Ib adjoining“triple mutual contact”arsenopyrite + pyrite + hexagonal pyrrhotite may serve as a useful geothermometer in Stage II. In this study it corresponds to temperature T=33$0^{\circ}C$ and f( $S_2$)=10$^{-9.5}$ atm. And the pyrite-hexagonal pyrrhotite buffer curve indicates the probable range of the two variables; T= 315∼345$^{\circ}C$, and f( $S_2$)=10$^{-1}$0.5/∼10$^{-9}$ atm. The present antimony-bearing arsenopyrite (arsenopyrite Ic) is characterized by relatively high content of antimony, ranging from 4.95 to 8.91 percent Sb by weight and excess of iron and deficiency of anions are evident. Such a high antimonian arsenopyrite has never been known within single grain. But being the high content of antimony as in the arsenopyrite Ic, it does not serve as a geothermometer. The results of microprobe analyses for four pairs of asenopyrite and sphalerite in Stage III indicate the temperature range from 310 to 34$0^{\circ}C$, and sulphur fugacity range from 10$^{-10}$ ∼10$^{-9}$ atm. These values seem to correspond with those inferred from the Fe-As-S system.m..

유비철석 + 황철석 + 육방정계 자류철석으로 구성되는“삼종동시접촉”을 수반하는 유비철석의 화학조성은 광화작용의 II단계에서 유용한 지온계를 제공한다. 연구에 따르면 이 지온계는 황분압 f($S_2$)=$10^{-9.5}$ 기압하에서, 지온 T = $330^{\circ}C$에서 형성된 것으로 밝혀졌다. 황철석 -육방정계 자류철석 완충곡선에서는 이 두 변수가 T= $315∼345^{\circ}C$와 f( $S_2$)=$10^{-1}$0.5/∼$10^{-9}$ 기압에 해당됨을 보여 준다. 이지역에서 산출되는 안티모니를 포함하는 자류철석(Ic)는 무게 퍼센트가 4.95∼8.91에 달하는 상대적인 높은 간을 보이며, 철은 과다한 반면 양이온은 결핍되는 현상을 보인다. 자류철석에서 이러한 높은 안티모니 함량은 단일 입자내에서는 처음 알려진 것이다. 이러한 높은 안티모니 함량이 자류철석 Ic를 지온계로서 작용할 수 없게 만들었다. 광화작용 III단계에서의 4쌍의 자류철석과 섬아연석의 전자현미분석 결과는 T : $310∼340^{\circ}C$와 f(S2)=$10^{ }$$∼10^{-9}$ / atm을 보이며, 이 값은 Fe-As-S 계에서 추정된 값과 일치한다...
