      Abstract
    • Currently, pyrophyllite is one of the most important raw materials for a variety of new functional products. In China, hydrothermal pyrophyllite constitutes a significant proportion. Therefore, enhancing the genesis model of hydrothermal pyrophyllite deposit is essential for ensuring a long-term stable supply of industrial raw materials for the manufacturing industry focused on new functional materials. This study involved a systematic profile survey and sampling at the Jialiangshan pyrophyllite deposit. The TESCAN integrated mineral analyzer (TIMA), electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA) and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) were utilized to quantitatively determine the mineral composition and elemental characteristics of alteration minerals. Mineral assemblages in different ores were analyzed to determine their genesis conditions based on the result of alteration zoning results. The elemental composition of clay minerals including pyrophyllite, diaspore, sericite and kaolinite were specifically determined to understand the elemental behavior during the alteration process. Results from field investigation and quantitative analysis indicate that the alteration assemblage within the Jialiangshan pyrophyllite deposit exhibits spatial distribution, characterized by a gradual decrease in alteration temperature from the crater outwards. Our study suggests that the formation of Jaliangshan pyrophyllite deposit is linked to volcanic activity followed by an extended sequence of hydrothermal alteration processes. Following extensive alteration, element migration between surrounding rock and the hydrothermal fluid resulted in large-scale pyrophyllite deposits for industrial raw materials. The conditions necessary for the forming artefact pyrophyllite within the ore-body are more stringent; the hydrothermal fluid should be unsaturated with SiO2 at temperatures maintained between 273 and 370 ℃ along with fractures providing space for growth.
