Journal Article
Isotopic exchange of oxygen, sulfur, hydrogen and copper between aqueous phase and the copper minerals brochantite, libethenite and olivenite
2022
Overview
Fractionation factors for the isotopes of O, H, S, or Cu (as appropriate) were determined for the minerals brochantite [Cu 4 (SO 4 )(OH) 6 ], libethenite [Cu 2 (PO 4 )(OH)] and olivenite [Cu 2 (AsO 4 )(OH)] and corresponding aqueous solutions at temperatures between 30 and 70°C. All samples used for this determination were synthetic and the degree of fractionation was expressed as 1000 ln α = ( A × 10 6 / T 2 ) + B , where A and B are empirical parameters. A few natural libethenite samples from its type locality Ľubietová-Podlipa were also analysed and compared to the prediction based on the isotopic composition of meteoric water and our fractionation factors. The hydrogen fractionation factors agreed with the prediction well, whereas those for oxygen did not. A possible explanation is the disequilibrium of aqueous phosphate (and also arsenate) species and the solution in our experiments or the interaction of meteoric fluids with the isotopically heavy (in terms of oxygen) country rocks. Because the effects of isotopic disequilibrium in our experiments cannot be ruled out, the oxygen fractionation factors should be used with caution. The determined fractionation factors can be used as an isotope geothermometer, given that it can be proven that the phases of interest precipitated from the same fluid in equilibrium. Libethenite is predicted to have slightly lower δ 65 Cu values than its parental solution, but brochantite slightly higher δ 65 Cu values than its parental solution. Simple forward models, simulating neutralisation or reduction of mine drainage, show that precipitation of these minerals and removal of the co-existing fluid, could cause isotopic variations (in δ 65 Cu) on the order of 1‰ or more.
