Abstract

Abstract

BACKGROUND
Mineral identification is the basis of all types of geological work, and its appraisal level and quality directly affect the depth and degree of research of a study. Conventional identification methods are significantly influenced by experience level, optical microscope resolution, and other factors. It is difficult to accurately identify fine rare minerals and clay minerals that need to be studied. Additionally, most of the technical methods relying on high-precision large-scale instruments have special requirements for sample preparation, which is not conducive to the reuse of the samples. It is also inconvenient to explore and observe specific fine transparent minerals under high multiple reflected lights, such as scanning electron microscopy and electron microprobe.
OBJECTIVES
To develop a more rapid and accurate method for identifying fine minerals.
METHODS
The laser Raman high-resolution large-area fast imaging method (StreamLineHR) was applied to the whole-area large-area scanning spectrum of two standard rock slices.
RESULTS
The transparent minerals were identified as alkali feldspar, plagioclase, quartz, amphibole, biotite, calcite, sphene, apatite, zircon, and epidote. The opaque mineral was identified as magnetite. Some of the minerals were closely associated (e.g., quartz and feldspar as well as sphene and hornblende), and some minerals showed secondary alterations (e.g., feldspar was transformed to calcite). Based on the content statistics, the two thin sections were named fine-grained amphibolite monzonite and fine-grained biotite plagioclase amphibolite.
CONCLUSIONS
Experimental results showed that this method was more accurate than the conventional methods used for the identification of fine minerals with very low content. However, the interference caused by the fluorescence effect, similarity in peak positions of similar minerals (feldspar, amphibole), and shift of the peak position of altered minerals during mineral identification and spectral fitting were solved by combining the optical characteristics under the mineral objective lens when necessary. In addition, the smaller the setting of the surface sweep step size, the more accurate the analysis, and the time cost correspondingly increased. This method realized the rapid identification of fine minerals over a large range, which was convenient, intuitive, and accurate. It compensated for the shortcomings of conventional rock and ore identification and other technical methods and expanded the application scope of Raman spectroscopy in geological studies.
