DETERMINATION OF THE EFFECTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS DURING THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE OZERNY LEAD-ZINC DEPOSIT

The determination of recent sedimentation rates has traditionally used radiochemical dating techniques but, because of limited laboratory facilities and the costs of these techniques, alternative methods are desirable. Information on sedimentation rates and sediment history can be obtained from anthropogenic chemical components whose presence in sediments, especially near urban areas, can be used as markers to assess their chronology. More than one marker, with a known date of introduction, should be used. In this study, organosilicons first used in the early 1950s and tributyltin used in marine antifouling paints from 1972 were examined in sediments from Lake Macquarie, NSW, to supplement the known input of heavy metals from the lead-zinc smelter that has been operating at the northern end of the lake since 1897. The most reliable data were obtained at sites where all three markers were present, and use of these data allowed independent determination of the year of initial operation of a sewage treatment works.

Lead Zinc

Luziyuan lead-zinc deposit located in Fengwei, Zhenkang,Yunnan Province, at the direction of 140°, horizontal distance is about 10km. The deposit closely related to acidic magmatism and geological structure. According to the latest exploration results of Yunnan Geological Survey, the amount of lead-zinc resources is 280 million tons, it is super-mega deposit. Mineralization factors as tectonics, deep fault, concealed rock, ore formation and surface north-east trending fault zone control the formation of the deposit. Gravity abnormal, magnetic abnormal, geochemical abnormal and associated mineralization of the mine relate to prospecting potential.
