摘要: 庙垭碳酸岩杂岩体位于南秦岭武当地块西南缘,主要由富铌、稀土的碳酸岩和正长岩组成,是我国第二大碳酸岩型铌矿床. 前人对碳酸岩中稀土元素的矿化机理进行了详细的研究,但铌元素的富集机制还尚未清楚. 因此对其开展了详细的岩石学、矿物学及矿物化学研究. 庙垭杂岩体主要由碳酸岩和正长岩组成,碳酸岩多呈岩脉或岩株状侵入正长岩中. 庙垭铌-稀土矿床含铌矿物主要有铌金红石、含Nb-Ti-Zr矿物、铌铁矿、富铀烧绿石和铌钛铀矿等. 铌金红石和Nb-Ti-Zr氧化物呈自形-半自形,Nb2O5含量较高(分别为1.10%~3.35%和8.58%~18.64%). Nb-Ti-Zr硅酸盐赋存于Nb-Ti-Zr氧化物裂隙内或沿其边缘分布,常与钠长石细脉伴生,Nb2O5含量为1.75%~6.00%. 铌铁矿呈它形细粒状结构,空间上与含Nb-Ti-Zr氧化物共生,显示较高的Nb2O5及FeO含量(72.30%~75.75%和18.52%~18.81%). 富铀烧绿石呈不规则粒状或者交生结构,具有较高含量的Nb2O5(35.42%~36.45%)和UO2(25.68%~26.76%),高的A位空缺值(0.55~0.74 apfu)和低的Na2O、F含量(低于检测线和0.32%~0.79%). 铌钛铀矿呈残骸状或椭圆状假晶,空间上依次伴生赤铁矿和黄铁矿,显著富集Nb2O5、UO2和TiO2.(结论). 综上,初步认为庙垭碳酸岩杂岩体中铌富集受控于岩浆和热液过程. 贫铌矿物和富F矿物在富Nb母岩浆中早先结晶导致残余熔体中Nb含量逐渐升高,最终结晶出铌金红石、Nb-Ti-Zr氧化物、富铀烧绿石、铌钛铀矿. 后期富Na、Si、Fe热液沿裂隙交代原生含铌矿物,经活化、迁移、沉淀形成了次生含铌矿物(Nb-Ti-Zr硅酸盐、铌铁矿等).Abstract: The Miaoya carbonatite complex is located in the southwestern margin of the Wudang Terrane in South Qinling, central China. It mainly consists of carbonatites and syenites with abundant REE and Nb mineralization, hosting the second largest carbonatite-related Nb deposit in China. Although the Miaoya REE mineralization process has been well studied, the Nb enrichment mechanism was poorly understood. Hereby, an integrated investigation, involving petrology, mineralogy and mineral chemistry was conducted on the Miaoya carbonatite complex. The Nb-bearing phases of the Miaoya complex mainly include Nb-rutile, Nb-Ti-Zr bearing minerals, ferrocolumbite, U-rich pyrochlore and betafite. Both of Nb-rutile and Nb-Ti-Zr oxides occur as euhedral crystals with high Nb2O5 contents (1.10%~3.35% and 8.58%~18.64%, respectively). Nb-Ti-Zr silicate are embedded along the cracks or edges of Nb-Ti-Zr oxides and are in close association with albite veinlets, with low Nb2O5 contents (1.75%~6.00%). Anhedral and fine-grained ferrocolumbite is closly symbiotic with Nb-Ti-Zr oxides and shows high Nb2O5 and FeO contents (72.30%~75.75% and 18.52%~18.81%). U-rich pyrochlore occur as an hedral grains, irregularly replaced by xenotime or hematite, with relatively high Nb2O5 and UO2 contents (35.42%~36.45% and 25.68%~26.76%, respectively), high A-site vacancy values (0.55~0.74 apfu) and low Na2O and F (below detection line and 0.32%~0.79%). Betafite occur as remnant or elliptic pseudocrystals, spatially associated with hematite and pyrite, and significantly enriched in Nb2O5、UO2 and TiO2. Summarily, we initially propose that the enrichment of Nb in the Miaoya complex was controlled by both magmatic and hydrothermal processes. In an initial Nb-rich carbonatitic magma system, prolonged fractionation of Nb-poor minerals led to the concentration of Nb in the residual melts, as documented by Nb-rutile, Nb-Ti-Zr oxides, uranpyrochlore and betafite. Hydrothermal (Na, Si and Fe)-rich fluids largely replaced the early-crystallized Nb-bearing minerals, subsequently remobilized, transported and precipitated as second Nb-rich minerals (e.g., Nb-Ti-Zr silicate and ferrocolumbite).
