次石墨

次石墨(英语:Shungite)是一种多样的前寒武纪变质岩,这些岩石中都含有焦沥青,要么指这些岩石内部的焦沥青[1]。它最早是在俄罗斯卡累利阿Shunga村附近的一座矿床中被发现,并因此得名。次石墨最广为人知的是在伪科学和伪医疗上主张的用途,声称它具有从模糊的健康益处到阻挡 5G 辐射等各种特性。[2][3][4][5][6]
产生
[编辑]次石墨主要产于俄罗斯。主要矿床位于卡累利阿Shunga附近的奥涅加湖地区Zazhoginskoye,另一处矿床位于Vozhmozero。[7]在俄罗斯还报告了另外两个规模更小的矿床,一个产生在堪察加半岛的火山岩中,另一个位于车里雅宾斯克,由煤矿井的废料在高温下燃烧形成。[8]在奥地利、印度、刚果民主共和国[7]和哈萨克[9]也有发现。
描述
[编辑]“次石墨”(Shungite)一词自 1879 年以来,含义已经发生巨大的演变。最初,它用于描述在其模式产地Shunga附近的矿脉中发现的一种含碳量超过98%的黑色物质。近年来,这个术语也被用来描述含有类似碳层的各种岩石,导致了一些混淆。在科学用语中,次石墨是指含碳量>98%的准矿物,并且作为母岩名称的修饰词,如“含次石墨白云岩”。[10]在通俗用语中,含有次石墨的岩石有时本身也被称为次石墨。
次石墨主要以两种形式存在:分散于母岩中或作为明显经过迁移的物质。迁移型的次石墨是具有光泽的,被认为是迁移的碳氢化合物,其形态包括层状次石墨,即与母岩层基本平行的夹层,以及脉状次石墨,即呈现为切穿母岩的矿脉。此外,次石墨也可能以碎屑形式存在于较年轻的沉积岩中。[10]
形成与结构
[编辑]
历史上,人们一直认为次石墨是非生物成因石油形成的例子[11],但现在已证实其生物起源[10]。在浅水碳酸盐岩陆架至非海洋蒸发岩环境中形成的矿床上方,直接发现了非迁移型次石墨地层。含有次石墨的部分被认为是在活跃张裂期间沉积而成,与其中发现的碱性火山岩一致。富含有机物的沉积物很可能是沉积在潟湖中。碳的浓度显示生态生产力的提升,可能是由于火山物质提供了大量营养物质。
保留沉积结构的含次石墨沉积构造解释为变质烃源岩。一些蘑菇状结构被解释为可能的泥火山。层状与脉状的次石墨种类,以及填满空洞并形成角砾岩基质的次石墨,可解释为迁移的石油,现以变质沥青的形式存在。[10]固态沥青次石墨主要为无定形的,但与许多碳沉积物类似,它含有微量碳的同素异形体,例如石墨烯片和富勒烯。[12]
用途和伪科学主张
[编辑]自18世纪中叶以来,次石墨就被用作油漆颜料,[10]目前以“碳黑”或“次石墨天然黑”的名称出售。[8]1970年代,次石墨被用于生产一种名为Shungisite的绝缘材料。将低次石墨含量岩石加热至1,090—1,130 °C(1,990—2,070 °F)制成,并用作低密度填料。[10]次石墨建筑技术方面亦有应用。富勒烯的存在使得次石墨作为天然储藏引起了研究人员的兴趣,尽管与其他富碳岩石相比,次石墨中富勒烯的含量并非独一无二。[13]
早在18世纪初,次石墨就一直被用于民间疗法。彼得大帝在卡累利阿建立了俄罗斯第一个Spa中心,利用了次石墨据称具有的净水功效。他也提倡使用次石墨为俄罗斯军队提供纯净水。[14]水晶疗法的支持者和5G阴谋论者错误地声称,与任何具有类似电导率的材料相比,次石墨可以更有效地消除周围的5G辐射。[2][3][4][5][6]这些说法大多聚焦于次石墨中所含富勒烯的益处,但这些富勒烯的浓度为1-10 ppm。[15][7][16]尽管据称次石墨有益于健康,但它含有铅、镉等有毒重金属,当用作替代医学时,可能会对健康造成危害。[17]

Real shungite is 98% carbon, and has trace amounts of fullerenes, a type of carbon molecule that supposedly blocks electromagnetic frequencies. These pieces of jewelry or ornaments often have a much lower percentage of carbon than advertised and even lower amounts of fullerenes. There isn't much scientific evidence backing these claims, and researching shungite primarily brings up New Age-y articles spewing quackery, with no citations to actual studies or research. The 5G stickers supposedly generate some kind of shield to protect you from 5G waves. Let us be clear: A sticker that claims to generate any type of radiation-blocking shield is pure science fiction.
