Abstract:

In western Hainan Island, pegmatites were widely distributed in the Baoban Complex. The geochemical research of pegmatites has not been carried out, and the types, genesis and rare metal metallogenic potential are still unclear. Based on field geological characteristics and microscopic observations, major elements, trace elements and rare earth elements of whole rock and single minerals (mica,feldspar) and feldspar X-ray powder diffraction were carried out on pegmatites in the Baoban complex. The type of pegmatites is classified, the metallogenic potential of pegmatites is analyzed, and its genetic relationship between pegmatites and adjacent granites are discussed. The pegmatites belong to the muscovite albite pegmatite, which have high silicon and aluminum content, low calcium and magnesium content and peraluminous. Trace elements are generally enriched in large ion lithophile elements, and depleted in high field strength elements. Light rare earth elements are relatively enriched, while heavy rare earth elements are relatively depleted. Electron Probe Micro-Analysis shows that the mica in the pegmatites is mainly muscovite, and the feldspar is mainly albite, the second oligoclase and microcline. The pegmatites have a low degree of evolution. The pegmatites are classified as the allanite-monazite type of muscovite-rare-element-REE(REL-REE)subclass. The content of rare metals in pegmatites is low, and the cell volume of microcline is smaller than that of rubidium-rich pegmatite. The pegmatites do not have rare metal mineralization potential.
