Abstract:
Numerous CO
2 fields(pools) of inorganic origin are discovered in east China.Usually their CO
2 contents exceed 6O%,and alkane gas contents are lower than 1O%.After an analysis of geochemical parameter s i.e.carbon isotopic composition and R/Ra value of CO
2,etc,plus a combination of the geological features of the related pools,the paper proposed that except those in Yingge marine basin,which have a metamorphic origin,the rest of CO
2 fields (pools) in east China can be attributed to predominantly an origin of mantle-derived volcano-magma.
