Abstract

Kajal KAOLIN DEPOSIT is located ~20 km northwest of HASHTJIN, Ardebil province. Field evidence and laboratory investigations show that the deposit is an alteration product of IGNIMBRITEs, tuffs, and trachy-andesites of Eocene age. According to mineralogical data, the major rock-forming minerals include kaolinite, montmorillonite, polygorskite, orthoclase, zeolite (stilbite), quartz, and chalcedony. Mass change calculations of elements, with assumption of Ti as immobile monitor element, indicate that leaching and fixation are two prominent regulators for concentration of major, minor, trace, and rare earth elements in the deposit. The distribution pattern of REEs, normalized to IGNIMBRITE, in kaolin samples illustrates a weak fractionation of LREEs from HREEs coupled with strong negative Eu anomaly during the evolution of the deposit. Calculations of correlation coefficients among elements show that there is a high intrinsic correlation between HREEs in the studied samples. According to geochemical indices, it can be inferred that the hypogene alterations are superimposed by supergene ones in the course of evolution of the deposit. In accordance with the mode of DISTRIBUTION OF ELEMENTS in the deposit, it appears that the behavior of elements during kaolinization of IGNIMBRITEs was affected by the function of factors such as pH, redox potential, temperature variations, high fluid to rock ratio, preferential adsorption by clays and iron oxides, discrepancies in the stability rate of minerals, abundance of complex-forming ions (CO32-, F-, Cl-, PO43-, and SO42-), and isomorphic substitution. The obtained results indicate that epithermal acid-sulfate solutions along with acidic supergene solutions originated from oxidation of hypogene pyrites played an important role in development of the deposit. Further geochemical considerations show that clay minerals along with secondary phosphates like monazite, rabdophane, and xenotime are the potential hosts for REEs in the deposit.
