Tungsten and tin deposits in South China: Temporal and spatial distribution, metallogenic models and prospecting directions

Pei Ni et al.

Summary: This paper summarizes the main types and temporal-spatial distribution characteristics of large-scale tungsten and tin mineralization related to granite in South China. It shows that skarn and quartz-vein types are the most important tungsten metallogenic styles, while skarn and cassiterite-sulfide types are the most important tin metallogenic styles in South China.

Yun Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics of the Pearl River Estuary during Typhoon Mangkhut in 2018. The results suggest that wave-current interaction and strong wind-induced currents are key factors for erosion, significantly influencing the suspended sediment concentration in the water.

The stable tungsten isotope composition of sapropels and manganese-rich sediments from the Baltic Sea

Florian Kurzweil et al.

Summary: Manganese oxides preferentially adsorb light tungsten isotopes in marine environments, leading to heavier W isotope compositions in seawater. The stable W isotope data in sediments are related to the oxygenation level of seawater, indicating its potential as a tracer for early Earth redox reconstructions.

Stable tungsten isotope systematics on the Earth's surface

Ruiyu Yang et al.

Summary: Stable tungsten isotopes have the potential to trace material cycling among geological reservoirs. This study investigates the behavior of stable W isotopes on the Earth's surface and finds significant heterogeneity in granitic rocks and a high degree of homogeneity in eolian loess. River water shows higher W isotope values than bedrock, likely due to preferential uptake of lighter W isotopes. The study also provides insights into the sinks and residence time of W in the ocean, with significant contributions from non-euxinic sediments.

Dynamics of trace metals with different size species in the Pearl River Estuary, Southern China

Ziming Fang et al.

Summary: The Pearl River Estuary in Southern China, the largest estuary in the region, regulates the fluxes of riverine trace metals into the South China Sea. The study found that trace metals undergo transformations between different phases during estuarine mixing, with an increase in dissolved metal concentration accompanied by a decrease in particulate metal concentration.

Redox control on the tungsten isotope composition of seawater

Florian Kurzweil et al.

Summary: The isotope composition of tungsten can trace the rise of oceanic oxygen on early Earth. Experimental studies show that manganese oxides preferentially scavenge light tungsten isotopes, increasing the surrounding seawater's ?186/184W, while redissolution decreases it. The heavy stable tungsten isotope signature in open ocean seawater reflects predominantly fully oxic conditions in modern oceans.

Anatomy of the Major Baltic Inflow in 2014: Impact of manganese and iron shuttling on phosphorus and trace metals in the Gotland Basin, Baltic Sea

Olaf Dellwig et al.

Summary: The study found that Major Baltic Inflows have a limited impact on the water column P inventory and eutrophication level of the Gotland Basin, as insufficient Fe availability prevents efficient trapping of phosphate. The fast recovery of reducing conditions only allows short-term storage of Mn-Fe-P mineral phases in the surface sediment. Trace metals such as V and W show intermittent depletion in the water column, but are released back into the water column due to re-establishing reducing conditions.

A Review of Tungsten Resources and Potential Extraction from Mine Waste

Zhengdong Han et al.

Summary: Tungsten is a critical metal with unique properties and economic importance, used in various industries for its hardness, density, wear resistance, and high-temperature capabilities. The primary tungsten minerals are wolframite and scheelite, with limited secondary resources. While there are no reported concerns for tungsten toxicity, tungsten tailings and residues pose significant risks to human health and the environment. Reprocessing of tungsten tailings using techniques like enhanced gravity separation and bioleaching may play a key role in the future.

Long-term spatiotemporal variations in and expansion of low-oxygen conditions in the Pearl River estuary: a study synthesizing observations during 1976-2017

Jiatang Hu et al.

Summary: The Pearl River estuary experiences frequent low-oxygen conditions in the summer and early autumn, with variability in location and severity between years, especially in the bottom waters. The study also highlights a potential transition from episodic, small-scale hypoxic events to seasonal, estuary-wide hypoxic conditions in summer, possibly influenced by changes in environmental factors in the region.
