Abstract:Southern Jiangxi province is famous for its tungsten mineral resources in the world, of which wolframite is the most important tungsten ore in the area. Wolframite from two typical tungsten deposits at Panguushan and Taoxikeng in southern Jiangxi was studied in this paper. the crystal structure and chemical composition of wolframite are analyzed to understand its spatial distribution using electron probe and Xray diffraction. Results indicate that the wolframite in the research area belongs to manganese tungsten ore, and the Mn2+ and Fe2+ in the wolframite is a kind of isomorphic relationship, and MnO and FeO shows an obviously negative correlation. The value of x[Fe / (Mn + Fe)] has certain regularity in the space. From deep to shallow of the vein, x value first increases and then decreases, which reflects the migration of ore fluid from bottom to top,and backflow may occur in the shallow. The x[Fe / (Mn + Fe)] values in the middle section of the vein are higher than those on both side of the same vein, indicating that the formation temperature of wolframite in the middle section of the vein is higher than that on both sides of the vein. The contents of Nb and Ta of wolframite in Pangushan are higher than those in Taoxikeng, indicating that the Pangushan wolframite is closer to the rock mass than the Taoxikeng wolframite. From bottom to top of a single vein, the contents of Nb and Ta in the wolframite firstly decrease rapidly and then increase slightly, which indicates the complexity of the orebearing fluid migration. The chondritestandardized REEs distribution diagrams of wolframite from Pangushan tungsten and Taoxikeng ore deposits are characterized by leftleaning pattern with relative enrichment of heavy REEs. Wolframite from the Pangeoushan tungsten ore deposit is characterized by relatively high ΣREEs,low LaN/YbN, and obvious REEs fractionation. Wolframite from the Taoxikeng tungsten ore deposit is characterized by relatively low content of ΣREEs and a wide range of of LaN/YbN, and variable REEs fractionation. They all have a strong negative δEu anomaly and weak negativeδCe anomaly, indicating that the deposits were formed in the closed reduction conditions. The comparison study of cell parameters of wolframite from five typical tungsten deposits, including Pangushan, Taoxikeng, Sanhu, Hukeng, Yaogangxian tungsten ore deposits, shows that wolframite occurring within inner contact zone of granite has a low FeO content and high cell parameters, while wolframite in outer contact zone of granite has a high FeO content and low cell parameters. Therefore, the chemical composition and crystal structure characteristics of wolframite can not only be used to indicate the migration features of oreforming materials in the space, but also discriminate the genesis of ore deposits. The results of the study have reference and enlightenment significance to the similar deposits.
