表面铁膜主导的丹霞红:我国南方典型丹霞地层铁的赋存状态研究
Danxia Red Caused by Surface Iron Coating: Study on the Occurrence State of Iron in Typical Danxia Strata in Southern China

丹霞地貌在我国南方地区广泛发育,其红色的特征是主要的地貌判别标志之一. 前人的研究成果显示丹霞的红色成因与地层中的铁有关,但是对于铁的赋存状态并未进行深入研究. 通过对采自广东省丹霞山及江西省龙虎山两个典型丹霞地貌区的样品进行矿物组成、地球化学及铁的赋存状态研究,结果表明:(1)广东丹霞山及江西龙虎山丹霞地层样品的岩性主要为砾岩与砂岩,主要的矿物组成是石英与长石,含有少量的粘土及铁氧化物,岩体致密坚硬,固结程度高,多为铁质胶结. (2)地球化学分析显示,二者的SiO2的含量最高,Al2O3次之,TFe2O3与FeO的含量较低,铁氧化物主要是赤铁矿,它是极高效的显色剂,通过高效的地球化学过程,以最显色的矿物形式,富集在了颗粒表面. (3)穆斯堡尔谱分析显示二者地层中铁均以氧化物铁及粘土铁的形式赋存,其中三价铁离子远高于二价铁离子的含量. 综合来看,铁在丹霞地层中的含量较低,但是以铁氧化物的形式吸附和沉淀在石英、长石等矿物的表面,以及粘土矿物的表面和层间,形成极薄的赤铁矿包膜,致使地层呈现红色.
Danxia landform is widely developed in southern China, and its red feature is one of the main distinguishing marks of landform. Previous research results have shown that the red color of Danxia landforms is related to iron in the strata, but no in⁃depth study has been conducted on the state of iron occurrence. In this paper, the mineral composition, geochemistry and iron occurrence of samples from Danxia Mountain in Guangdong Province and Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province are studied. The results show that: (1)The Danxia landform stratigraphic samples in Guangdong Province and Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province show that the main mineral composition is quartz and feldspar, containing a small amount of clay and iron oxides, with a high degree of consolidation, and some layers contain gravel. (2) Geochemical analysis shows that the content of SiO2 in both is the highest, followed by Al2O3. The content of TFe2O3 (0.81%~1.63%) and FeO (0.08%~0.16%) is lower, indicating that the content of iron minerals is not the main factor causing redness. (3)The iron in the Danxia Formation of Danxia Mountain in Guangdong and Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi mainly exists in the form of clay iron and oxide iron, among which trivalent iron ions (oxides⁃Fe3+:41.3% and 44.3%,clay⁃Fe3+:49.7% and 47.6%) are much higher than the content of divalent iron ions (clay⁃Fe2+:9.0% and 8.1%). All indicate that the content of iron in the Danxia Formation is relatively low, but it may be in the form of an iron oxide coating that exists on the surface of minerals such as quartz and feldspar, causing the formation to appearred.
