Abstract

It was found that in minerals, 27 chemical elements are essential species-defining constituents in all tellurium-bearing mineral species known up to 2018 (166). The number of minerals containing these leading elements were calculated as follows (parentheses): O (85), H (47), Cu (42), Pb (39), Bi (30), S (26), Fe (20), Ag (18), Pd (15), Cl (13); Zn Au (11 minerals each); Ca, Se (7 minerals each); Mg, Mn, Sb, As (6 minerals each); Ni, Hg (5 minerals each); U (4), Ir (3); Al, K, C, Sn, Pt (2 minerals each). It has been revealed that the majority of species-defining elements show a normal distribution in terms of mineral systems. A comparative analysis of the mineral species distribution based on various systems was carried out for the Otto Mountain (USA) and El Dragon (Potosi, Bolivia) deposits, as well as comparison of these objects based on the distribution of these species-defining elements. It was found that Cu, Pb, Au, S, C are “abundant” species-defining elements in minerals of both deposits, and Si, Ca, K, Al are deficient, “scarce” elements in both cases. Minerals containing Te, Cr, Cl, Ag, I, As, Mo, P, Sr, V, U, Na, and F are present only in the Otto Mountain mine, and minerals with Mg, Ba, Ni, Hg, and Co were detected only in El Dragon. The amount of O, H, Si, Pb-bearing minerals is substantially higher in Otto Mountain ores than in El Dragon ores.

摘要

研究发现，截至2018年，在所有已知的含碲矿物中，矿物中27种化学元素是必不可少的物种定义成分（166）。包含这些主要元素的矿物的数量计算如下（括号）：O（85），H（47），Cu（42），Pb（39），Bi（30），S（26），Fe（20） ，Ag（18），Pd（15），Cl（13）；锌金（每种11种矿物）; 钙，硒（每种7种矿物质）; Mg，Mn，Sb，As（每种6种矿物）；镍，汞（每种5种矿物质）；U（4），Ir（3）；Al，K，C，Sn，Pt（各2种矿物）。已经发现，大多数种类限定元素在矿物系统方面显示出正态分布。对美国的奥托山（Otto Mountain）和玻利维亚波托西（Potosi）的埃尔龙（El Dragon）矿床进行了基于各种系统的矿物种类分布比较分析，以及根据这些物种定义元素的分布对这些对象进行比较。发现在这两种矿床的矿物中，Cu，Pb，Au，S，C都是“丰富的”物种定义元素，而在两种情况下，Si，Ca，K，Al都是缺乏的“稀缺”元素。包含Te，Cr，Cl，Ag，I，As，Mo，P，Sr，V，U，Na和F的矿物仅存在于奥托山矿中，并且具有Mg，Ba，Ni，Hg和Co仅在El Dragon中被检测到。奥托山矿石中的O，H，Si，Pb含矿物质的含量远高于El Dragon矿石。F和F仅存在于奥托山矿中，而Mg，Ba，Ni，Hg和Co的矿物仅在El Dragon中被检测到。奥托山矿石中的O，H，Si，Pb含矿物质的含量远高于El Dragon矿石。F和F仅存在于奥托山矿中，而Mg，Ba，Ni，Hg和Co的矿物仅在El Dragon中被检测到。奥托山矿石中的O，H，Si，Pb含矿物质的含量远高于El Dragon矿石。
