Abstract

The Pb-Ag-Bi-S system minerals such as galena-matildite solid solutions, cosalite and heyrovskyite occur in the Nakdong As-Bi deposits. Galena-matildite solid solutions commonly coexisting with native bismuth fill in microfractures of pyrite grains and form irregular shapes. Cosalite forms composite grains including native bismuth, heyrovskyite and Bi-Te-S system minerals in the matrix of quartz vein. Matildite from the Nakdong deposits has an end member composition, $Ag_{1.07-1.11}Bi_{1.12-1.20}S_2$, and an excess concentration of $0.3{\sim}2.4$ mole % $Bi_2S_3$ compared to the stoichiomeoic value. PbS concentrations in $PbS-AgBiS_2$ solid solutions do not exceed 54 mole %. The average chemical composition of cosalite in the study area is $Pb_{1.79}Bi_{2.29}Ag_{0.12}S_5$. Pb is slightly depleted compared to the ideal composition, but the concentrations of Ag and Cu reach as much as 1.47 wt.% and 0.27 wt.%, respectively. Heyrovskyite has the chemical formula of $Pb_{5.01}Ag_{0.26}Bi_{2.70}S_9$ suggesting that there occurs the coupled substitution of $2Bi^{3+}$ for $3Pb^{2+}$ as well as that of $Ag^++Bi^{3+}$ for $2Pb^{2+}$. The genetic condition of Pb-Ag-Bi-S system minerals can be confined to the temperature of $220{\sim}270^{\circ}C$ and the pressure below 200 bars.

낙동 비소-비스무스 광상에서 산출되는 Pb-Ag-Bi-S계에 광물로는 방연석-마틸다이트(matildite) 고용체, 코살라이트(cosalite) 및 헤이로브스카이트(herovskyite)가 있다. 방연석-마틸다이트 고용체의 경우 자연비스무스와 더불어 황철석내의 틈을 채우면서 산출되는데, 불규칙한 모양을 이룬다. 코살라이트는 석영맥내에서 자연비스무스, 헤이로브스카이트 및 Bi-Te-S계 광물들을 포함하며, 타형의 독립된 결정으로 산출된다. 낙동광상에서 산출되는 마틸다이트는 $Ag_{1.07-1.11}Bi_{1.12-1.20}S_2$의 단성분 조성을 이루는 것므로 이상화학조성에 비해 $0.3{\sim}2.4$mole%의 $Bi_2S_3$가 초과 함유되어 있다. PbS와 $AgBiS_2$를 단성분하는 고용체의 경우 PbS는 약 54 mole% 이하의 함량을 나타내고, 그 이상의 경우는 관찰되지 않는다. 연구지역 코살라이트의 평균화학소성은 $Pb_{1.79}Bi_{2.29}Ag_{0.12}S_5$로서 순수한 코살라이트에 비하여서는 Pb가 결핍되어 있으며, Ag와 Cu를 각각 최대 1.47 wt.%와 0.27 wt.% 함유하고 있다. 헤이로브스카이트는 $Pb_{5.01}Ag_{0.26}Bi_{2.70}S_9$ 조성을 보이는데 $2Pb^{2+}$에 대한 $Ag^++Bi^{3+}$의 쌍치환과 더불어 $3Pb^{2+}$에 대한 $2Bi^{3+}$의 치환이 함께 일어난 것으로 여겨진다. 낙동광상의 Pb-Ag-Bi-S계 광물들의 생성 조건은 대략 $220{\sim}270^{\circ}C$ 온도와 200bar 미만의 압력인 것으로 해석된다.
