Description

Method for determining high-precision age of micron-sized Xie stone
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of sphene age determination, in particular to a method for determining micron-sized high-precision age of sphene.
Background
Isotopic geology is a fundamental tool for exploring the problems of geologic body space-time evolution, continental dynamics and the like. The precise isotope chronology research has important significance in the aspects of inverting geological historical events, discussing diagenesis dynamics background and deposit cause, and particularly is an indispensable means in the research of hydrothermal deposits with less obvious sequential relation between many metamorphic rocks and multiple stages of hydrothermal activities. At present, a plurality of existing analysis means are provided, wherein the dating of a radioactive isotope system is a basic method for obtaining absolute age in geological research, and the dating of a uranium-lead (U-Pb) system is a method which is most widely applied in the current solid geoscience research due to the fact that the uranium-lead (U-Pb) system has proper characteristics. At present, the main secondary minerals used for years include zircon, monazite, rutile, sphene and the like.
Titanite (CaTiSiO)5) Is a uranium-containing accessory mineral commonly existing in various medium-acid and alkaline invaded rocks, metamorphic rocks and various hydrothermal deposit. As a tool capable of dating, the tool has very wide application value in geological research. However, many sphene minerals have the characteristics of multiple growth stages and small particle size (generally, the particle size is 5-50 microns, and most of the sphene minerals are about 10 microns) in the rock. The problem of the age of the titanite at different stages can be solved only by directly measuring the age of the titanite mineral in the rock by adopting a high-precision dating method.
International reports of accurate dating of sphene include isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) (1: Tilton and Grunenfelder, 1968; 2: Aleinikoff et al, 2007; 3: Huyskens et al, 2016), laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) (4: Willigers et al, 2002), and Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) (5: Ling et al, 2015). The three dating methods have advantages and disadvantages respectively.
Isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry (ID-TIMS) is the most accurate dating method, and is required to crush a rock sample and then pick out the sphene mineral, but the particle size of the sphene in the rock is very small (mostly about 10 micrometers), so that a plurality of particles are required to be dissolved into solution at high temperature by acid, and then the uranium and lead contents in the solution are measured, and the age is calculated. However, the sphene in the rock often grows in different geological history periods, after the sphene growing in different time periods is simultaneously selected, the sphene is chemically dissolved and analyzed, the sphenes with different ages are mixed together, and the measured mixed age cannot reflect the true age of the sphene.
Laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICPMS) can be performed without mineral selection, and after the rock is sliced, the sphene can be directly selected from the slice for analysis, but the analysis method can generally measure particles with diameters of more than 30 micrometers, but the age of the sphene cannot be accurately measured by the analysis method because the sphene in most rocks is too small.
The ion probe performs micro-area in-situ analysis on the sphene, and has the characteristics of small sample consumption, long-time analysis, repeatable analysis and the like. Since the titanite has a relatively low uranium lead content and a relatively high common lead content. And the sphene is analyzed in situ in a micro-area by using an ion probe instrument with high precision and high spatial resolution, so that the problem of inclusion can be effectively avoided, and a more accurate result is obtained. Therefore, many scientists have developed the research and development and application related to the year of titanite uranium lead by using ion probes. Currently, ion probing with sphene has been carried out for years at Australian National University (ANU) and australian university of science (Curtin), Korea Basic Science Institute (KBSI) and sweden natural history museum's north ion probe laboratory (NORDSIM), and the chinese academy of sciences geology and geophysical research institute ion probe laboratory (CASIMS). However, although the importance of ion probes in sphene dating has been increasingly appreciated, there are still important technical issues to be solved. The ion probe has a matrix effect which is ubiquitous in different minerals. In recent years, although the SIMS dating method and matrix effect have been reported for different kinds of dating paraminerals, no research has been reported on the matrix effect of sphene, and it has not been known clearly how much the change in the composition and structure of sphene causes the age correction of the ion probe.
The applicant found that when measuring standard samples of sphene using the previous secondary ion mass spectrometry method (SIMS), the calculated age of different sphene standards was different from the true value. For example, the lead and uranium ages of sphene in metamorphic rocks in the south african forest wave metamorphic zone (i.e., the limppoo slab) mentioned in document 6 are about 1930 million years (Ma) on average, which is 5% lower than the lead age 2010 million. This may be due to insufficient accuracy of the sphene ion probe method (reference 6: Rigby et al, 2011).
Therefore, the method for determining the age of the micron-sized titanite in situ by combining multiple instruments is designed to improve the accuracy and precision of measurement, and solves the pending problem.

Obtaining the lead and uranium age t of sphenesample
The overall technical scheme of the invention is explained in detail by the specific examples below.
Firstly, manufacturing a spliced sample target containing a sphene sample to be detected and a standard sample
The content of the unknown sphene mineral in the nature is changed, and the sphene standard sample with different components is required to be used as a calibration substance. Therefore, the invention respectively selects the titanite standard sample YQ82 (SiO) with different components2≈30.3%,TiO2≈36.7%,CaO≈28.6%,Al2O31.6%, FeO 1.0%) and sphene standard BLR-1(SiO2≈29.8%,TiO2≈31.9%,CaO≈27.1%,Al2O33.0%, FeO 2.3%) as standard substance for calibrating the instrument. During the calibration of the instrument, it is also necessary to use known instruments204A Pb content glass standard (e.g., the glass standard designated NIST 610) is used to calibrate the instrument (since the Pb content of sphene samples is often very low, if the instrument is calibrated using Pb from sphene, a deviation may result, and therefore a higher Pb content glass standard is required to calibrate the instrument, as is well known in the art).
According to the requirements of national measurement technical specifications, in order to check the repeatability of the test result, the repeated measurement times are all selected to be 10 times in a short time under the same instrument and the same test condition. Generally, one particle of the sphene standard substance can be tested 0-2 times, and therefore, the number of the particles of the two sphene standards is selected to be 7-10 in order to ensure the testing amount.
1.1 preparation of Standard sample sheet
Specifically, 7-10 sphene standard samples YQ82 with the particle size of 100-150 microns, 7-10 sphene standard samples BLR-1 with the particle size of 100-150 microns and 1-3 glass standard samples NIST610 with the particle size of 100-300 microns are inlaid into a circular resin sheet with the diameter of about 2 millimeters and the thickness of 1-2 millimeters by adopting an electrostatic targeting technology, so that the sphene standard samples and the glass standard samples are exposed on one side surface of the sheet.
The electrostatic target making process comprises the following steps: applying static electricity to a first insulating material plate with a smooth, transparent and firm surface by using an electrostatic generator; drawing a 2 mm diameter circle on a second sheet of insulating material; placing mineral samples sphene standard YQ82, sphene standard BLR-1, and glass standard NIST610 in an area of the electrostatically charged first sheet of insulating material corresponding to the circle; mixing epoxy resin with a coagulant in an environment of eliminating static electricity; vertically placing a polyethylene hollow column with a smooth surface on the region, corresponding to the circle, on the first insulating material plate with static electricity; and slowly injecting the mixture of the epoxy resin and the coagulant after vacuum pumping along the inner surface of the polyethylene hollow column, and standing to solidify the mixture, thereby obtaining the solidified sphene standard sample slice which can be taken out of the polyethylene hollow column. As shown in fig. 1.
1.2 preparing sphene sample slice to be measured
Specifically, in the first step, a boviet mine basalt slice sample is taken, the slice sample contains unknown boviet, and the slice sample is drilled by a TBH 28124 type desktop drill floor of PROXXON company and a hollow drill bit with the inner diameter of 26 mm. A circular sheet sample having a diameter of about 25 mm and a thickness of 2 mm was obtained. In the second step, the table drill floor was used, a solid drill bit with a diameter of 5mm was provided, and a hole with a diameter of 5mm was drilled in the center of the circular sheet, as shown in fig. 2.
1.3 splicing the standard sample slice and the sphene sample slice to be measured to obtain a spliced sample target
The method comprises the steps of firstly, adhering 10cm by 5cm double-sided adhesive on a glass sheet with the size of 10cm by 10cm, secondly, adhering the circular sheet with the diameter of about 25 mm to the double-sided adhesive with the front side facing downwards, and thirdly, putting the resin sheet with the diameter of 2 mm in the middle of the 5mm hole of the circular sheet, and adhering the resin sheet to the double-sided adhesive with the front side facing downwards. And fourthly, filling resin into the annular gaps between the resin sheet and the circular thin sheet, and splicing the solidified sample and the standard sample together to form a circular sheet with the diameter of 25 mm, wherein the circular sheet comprises the unknown sample of the sphene, the sphene standard samples YQ82 and BLR-1 and the glass standard sample NIST 610. A split sample target is shown in fig. 3.
Secondly, finding titanite by using electron microscope and energy spectrum instrument
2.1 plating of conductive Material
Specifically, a gold plating instrument of Q150TE model of Quorum company is adopted to plate a continuous gold film on the surface of the exposed side of the wafer sample, and in order to ensure that the sample to be detected can be conductive and cannot influence the observation of the sample, the thickness of the gold plating film layer needs to be controlled to be 10nm-20nm, for example, 10nm or 15nm and the like.
2.2 finding the position of sphene in the sample by electron microscopy and energy spectroscopy
The method comprises the following steps of (1) specifically, placing a sample into a Hitachi desk type electron microscope (TM 4000) equipped with an Oxford spectrometer, vacuumizing, and adjusting the working distance to 10 mm; secondly, by utilizing the characteristic function of an Oxford spectrometer (the function can automatically search a target sample in an analysis area according to the size, the appearance, the chemical composition and the like of the sample), under the conditions that the accelerating voltage is 15kV, the magnification is 200 times, and the input counting rate and the output counting rate both exceed 10000cps, different mineral phases are distinguished by scanning the gray level of a sample image, and thirdly, the threshold value of a specific detection sample is set, in the embodiment, the mineral sample to be detected is sphene, in the embodiment, the threshold value is set to be more than 10000, and the granularity of the detection particles is set to be more than 5 um; fourthly, after information collection is carried out on the samples, the samples containing Ca, Ti and Si elements are set as Xie stones; and fifthly, performing multi-field scanning on the inner circle with the outer diameter of 10mm and the inner diameter of 5mm at the center of the sample, in the embodiment, dividing the sample into 8 sub-areas, and then automatically operating. After the test, a plurality of regions containing Ca, Ti and Si elements were detected. And sixthly, confirming the found mineral to be the sphene mineral again by utilizing the elemental analysis function of the energy spectrometer again. Seventhly, using the back scattering image function of the Hitachi desktop electron microscope (TM) 4000, the position of YQ82 on the target is marked as (X1, Y1), the position of BLR-1 is marked as (X2, Y2), the position of NIST610 is marked as (X3, Y3), and the positions of the other sphene samples found are marked as (Xn, Yn), as shown in FIG. 4.
