Abstract:

Hydraulic fracturing technology is one of the key technologies in shale gas production. It provides an important inspiration for us to study the genesis of the Xiangshan hydrothermal uranium deposit in Jiangxi. That is, (1) the cryptoexplosion occurred obviously in the late stage of intrusive magmatic activity in Xiangshan area of South China, (2) the uranium source of the hydrothermal uranium deposits, occured in the Xiangshan volcano intrusive complex, may be the volcano intrusive rock in itself, (3) the uranium is transported mainly in the form of uranyl carbonate complex along the hidden burst gap, (4) the precipitation of uranium is caused by the reduction of the pressure after the hidden explosion earthquake,(5) the cryptoexplosive clastic rock is an important ore-forming geological body, (6) the hydraulic fracturing is the dynamic mechanism of uranium mineralization, which is the inevitable outcome of the hidden explosion.

Key words: hydraulic fracturing, cryptoexplosive clastic rock, uranium source, antihypertensive effect, the Xiangshan uranium ore field
