摘要: The Sr isotopic systematics in the weathering profiles of biotite granite and porphyry southern Jiangxi Province were investigated. results showed that during chemical granites, remarked fractionation occurred between Rb Sr. During early stages released Sr/Si Sr/Ca ratios are larger than those parent rocks, leaching rate is higher Si, Ca, K, Rb, etc. Dynamic variations relative rates main Sr-contributing minerals led to fluctuation with time in87Sr/86Sr inherent crust granite. Successive biotite, plagioclase K-feldspar made87Sr/86Sr residues show such a trend as decrease first, increase, then again till they maintain stable. This work further indicates when isotopes used trace biogeochemical processes on both catchment global scales, one must seriously take account preferential release from dissolving solid phase of87Sr/86Sr caused by minerals.
