In the system FeO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (FMAS), the equilibrium Al-content of orthopyroxene coexisting with olivine and spinel was reversed in 18 experiments at 1 340° C and 11 or 18 kbar, using graphite capsules and PbO flux. In the CFMAS system (+CaO), the Al-contents of ortho- and clinopyroxene coexisting with olivine and spinel were reversed in 5 experiments at 1 340° C and 18 kbar. The Al-content of clinopyroxene remains constant, while the Al-content of orthopyroxene increases with increasing Fe-content. The Ca-content of clinopyroxene is independent of the Al-content. The data were used to describe the Fe-Mg site distribution in the aluminous orthopyroxene. The Fe-Mg partitioning among orthopyroxene, olivine, spinel and garnet, combined with the Al-content of orthopyroxene, was used to calculate orthopyroxene based thermobarometers in the FMAS, CFMAS and NCFMAS (+Na2O) systems. The thermobarometers were applied to the Adirondack metagabbros, which gave equilibration temperatures of 700–800° C and pressures 7.4–10.3 kbar.  相似文献

A geothermometric technique based on equilibria between coexisting plagioclase and alkali feldspar was applied to quartzo-feldspathic granulites from Salvador, BA, Brazil. The conditions of metamorphism were determined to be in the range 750 ° C–800 ° C, 4–8 Kb, by comparison with experimental data on the stabilities of sapphirine, phlogopite and other minerals occurring in the associated rocks. Selected feldspar data gives temperatures near, but slightly below, this range. Several variants of the Wood and Banno model, as well as an empirical two-pyroxene geothermometer, were also tested and found to give temperatures which were apparently 50 °–100 ° high. The solubility of Al2O3 in orthopyroxene indicates temperatures which are about 200 ° to high, suggesting that Fe in the natural assemblages significantly changes relationships observed experimentally in MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 systems.  相似文献

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been used to calculate the structures and bulk moduli of crystals in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS) using an interatomic potential model (CMAS94), which is composed of pairwise additive Coulomb, van der Waals, and repulsive interactions. The crystals studied, total of 27, include oxides, Mg meta- and ortho-silicates, Al garnets, and various Ca or Al bearing silicates, with the coordination number of cations ranging 6 to 12 for Ca, 4 to 12 for Mg, 4 to 6 for Al, and 4 and 6 for Si. In spite of the simplicity of the CMAS94 potential and the diversity of the structural types treated, MD simulations are quite satisfactory in reproducing well the observed structural data, including the crystal symmetries, lattice parameters, and average and individual nearest neighbour Ca-O, Mg-O, Al-O, and Si-O distances. In addition MD simulated bulk moduli of crystals in the CMAS system compare well with the observed values.  相似文献

The recent publication of an updated thermodynamic dataset for petrological calculations provides an opportunity to illustrate the relationship between experimental data and the dataset, in the context of a new set of activity–composition models for several key minerals. These models represent orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene and garnet in the system CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 (CMAS), and are valid up to 50 kbar and at least 1800 °C; they are the first high‐temperature models for these phases to be developed for the Holland & Powell dataset. The models are calibrated with reference to phase‐relation data in the subsystems CaO–MgO–SiO2 (CMS) and MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 (MAS), and will themselves form the basis of models in larger systems, suitable for calculating phase equilibria in the crust and mantle. In the course of calibrating the models, it was necessary to consider the reaction orthopyroxene + clinopyroxene + spinel = garnet + forsterite in CMAS, representing a univariant transition between simple spinel and garnet lherzolite assemblages. The high‐temperature segment of this reaction has been much disputed. We offer a powerful thermodynamic argument relating this reaction to the equivalent reaction in MAS, that forces us to choose between good model fits to the data in MAS or to the more recent data in CMAS. We favour the fit to the MAS data, preserving conformity with a large body of experimental and thermodynamic data that are incorporated as constraints on the activity–composition modelling via the internally consistent thermodynamic dataset.  相似文献

The hydration of peridotites modelled by the system H2O-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 has been treated theoretically after the method of Schreinemakers, and has been investigated experimentally in the temperature range 700°–900° C and in the pressure range of 8–14 kbar. In the presence of excess forsterite and water, the garnet- to spinel-peridotite transition boundary intersects the chlorite dehydration boundary at an invariant point situated at 865±5° C and 15.2±0.3 kbar. At lower pressures, a model spinel lherzolite hydrates to both chlorite- and amphibole-bearing assemblages at an invariant point located at 825±10° C and 9.3±0.5 kbar. At even lower pressures the spinel-to plagioclase-peridotite transition boundary intersects the dehydration curve for amphibole+forsterite at an invariant point estimated to lie at 855±10° C and 6.5±0.5 kbar.Both chlorite and amphibole were characterized along their respective dehydration curves. Chlorite was found to shift continuously from clinochlore, with increasing temperature, to more aluminous compositions. Amphibole was found to be tremolitic with a maximmum of 6 wt.% Al2O3.The experimentally determined curves in this study were combined with the determined or estimated stability curves for hydrous melting, plagioclase, talc, anthophyllite, and antigorite to obtain a petrogenetic grid applicable to peridotites, modelled by the system H2O-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2, that covers a wide range of geological conditions. Direct applications of this grid, although quite limited, can be made for ultramafic assemblages that have been extensively re-equilibrated at greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism and for some highgrade ultramafic assemblages that display clear signs of retrogressive metamorphism.  相似文献

Melting relationships in the system K2O-CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O have been reinvestigated using Schreinemakers analysis and hydrothermal experiments. The reaction sanidine+muscovite+zoisite+quartz+vapor =melt has been bracketed at 10, 15, and 20 kbars and 670–680, 680–690, and 690–700° C, respectively and it marks the lowest solidus temperatures in the system investigated.Below 10 kbars, experimental data on the beginning of melting in zoisite- or muscovite-bearing anorthite+sanidine assemblages have been obtained, which are not showing any differences and therefore point to melt compositions close to the feldspar-quartz join.  相似文献

Sapphirine and spinel can accommodate significant ferric iron and therefore the mineral equilibria involving these phases must be sensitive to a(O2). In this paper we examine the theoretical phase relationships involving sapphirine and spinel in addition to sillimanite, garnet, cordierite, rutile, hematite-ilmenite solid solution (henceforth ilmenite), and magnetite-ulvospinel solid solution (henceforth magnetite), in the presence of quartz and hypersthene in the system FeO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-TiO2-O2 (FMASTO), with particular reference to the topological inversion in P-T postulated by Hensen (Hensen 1986). Documented natural associations suggest that the appropriate topology for assemblages involving magnetite and ilmenite is Hensen's higher a(O2) one, while, in contrast, the topology for assemblages involving ilmenite and rutile is the lower a(O2) one. The exact configuration of the inversion between these two topologies remains uncertain because of uncertainties in the ferric/ferrous iron partitioning between sapphirine and spinel-cordierite at high temperatures. By comparison with experimental data and natural occurences, the sillimanite-sapphirine-cordierite-garnet-hypersthene-quartz assemblage is in equilibrium at about 1000°–1020° C and 7–8 kbars, while sapphirine-cordierite-spinel-garnet-hypersthene-quartz occurs at temperatures in excess of those attainable during crustal metamorphism, for ilmenite-rutile buffered assemblages. This implies that sapphirine-rutil-ehypersthene-quartz assemblages, as found in the Napier Complex, Antarctica, can only occur at > 1000° C. Also, spinel-rutile-hypersthene-quartz assemblages should not be found in rocks because temperatures in excess of 1100° C are expected to be involved in their formation. The temperatures of formation of spinel-sillimanite-sapphirine-garnethypersthene-quartz, sapphirine-spinel-cordierite-sillimanite-hypersthene-quartz, and sillimanite-spinel-cordieritegarnet-hypersthene-quartz in assemblages buffered by magnetite and ilmenite are less well constrained, but are likely to be in the range 900°–1000° C. These conclusions apply to rocks with compositions close to FMASTO; the perturbing effects of substantial concentrations of additional components, in particular Ca, mainly in garnet, and Zn and Cr, mainly in spinel, may invalidate these conclusions.  相似文献

Transformation of enstatite — diopside — jadeite pyroxenes to garnet   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1  
The high-pressure stability of enstatite(En)-diopside(Di)-jadeite(Jd) pyroxenes has been investigated experimentally with a split-sphere anvil apparatus (USSA-2000). On the enstatite-pyrope join, the compositions of garnet coexisting with enstatite were determined at 100–165 kbar and 1450–1850° C. The results indicate complete solubility between enstatite and pyrope. In the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS), the compositions of coexisting pyroxenes and garnet were determined at 100–165 kbar and 1250–1750° C. At 157 kbar, 1650° C, garnet with the composition En79Di21 (mol%) forms on the En-Di join. In the system Na2O-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (NMAS), the compositions of coexisting pyroxenes and garnet were determined at 60–160 kbar and 1200–1850° C. On the En-Jd join, the first garnet has the composition En48Jd52 at 135 kbar, 1650° C, and En53Jd47 at 140 kbar, 1500° C. On the Di-Jd join, the first garnet with the composition Di63Jd37 forms around 170 kbar, 1650° C. In the En-Di-Jd system, the first appearance of garnet with the composition En42Di9Jd49 is estimated at 133 kbar, 1650° C. The new pyroxene with the composition NaMg0.5Si2.5O6 (NaPx) transforms to garnet at 154 kbar, 1650° C. The experimental results indicate that the transformation of a twopyroxene assemblage to garnet and residual pyroxene in the En-Di-Jd system could occur at pressures consistent with the 400 km seismic discontinuity and in a pressure interval of 0–3 kbar.  相似文献

The univariant high-pressure reaction of aluminous enstatite and spinel to pyrope and forsterite in the MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system has been determined in the temperature range 900 °–1100 °C by hydrothermal reversals in the piston-cylinder apparatus using the low-friction NaCl pressure medium. A mixture of synthetic minerals, including an enstatite with 6 wt% Al2O3, with product and reactant assemblages in nearly equal amounts, was the starting material. The equilibrium pressure of 19.3±0.3 kbar at 1000 ° C and average dP/dT slope of 8.0 bars/ ° C confirm the strong curvature of the equilibrium below 1200 ° C deduced by Obata (1976) from a theoretical study of experimental Al2O3 isopleths of enstatite in the garnet field. His prediction of an absolute minimum pressure near 18 kbar of the garnet peridotite assemblage in the ternary system is undoubtedly correct.Three reversed determinations of the equilibrium Al2O3 content of enstatite in the presence of spinel +forsterite were made at points adjacent to the univariant curve. The points are 5.5 wt% Al2O3 at 950 ° C and 20 kbar, 6.2 wt% at 1000 ° C and 20 kbar and 7.2 wt% at 1080 ° C and 20 kbar. These values are somewhat higher than given by the MacGregor (1974) isopleth set and quite close to those predicted by Fujii (1976) from experimental synthesis data at higher temperatures, using the Wood and Banno (1973) model of ideal solution of the Mg2Si2O6 and MgAl2SiO6 components in enstatite to reduce the data.All of the available spinel-field isopleth data can be systematized with the use of the ideal solution model. A value of H 0 of 9000 cal fits the reduced data well, and is in agreement with the calorimetrically determined value of 8500±1900 calories. An accurate calculation of the dP/dT slope of the univariant equilibrium at 1000 ° C based on calorimetry gives 7±2bars/ °C, also in good agreement with experiment. Thus, all of the available experimental and calorimetric data are consistent with the ideal-solution aluminous enstatite model.The dP/dT slopes of the spinel-field isopleths are too large to permit their use as an accurate geobarometric scale. They do have considerable potential as a thermometric indicator for certain natural peridotites, however. The southwestern Oregon overthrust peridotite masses of Cretaceous age have enstatite of 5.6 wt% Al2O3 with spinel of nearly 80 mole% MgAl2O4. The present reduced isopleth data directly give 930 ° C for the equilibration, assuming 12 kbar pressure. A first order correction based on ideal solution departures from the ternary system, as suggested by Stroh (1976) gives 1000 ° C. Thus, the high temperatures deduced by Medaris (1972) are confirmed. The pressure cannot be deduced independently from the pyroxene Al2O3 contents.  相似文献

The near-solidus transition from garnet lherzolite to spinel lherzolite   总被引：20，自引：1，他引：19  
The position of the transition from spinel lherzolite to garnet lherzolite in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS) has been determined experimentally at near-solidus temperatures. In reversed experiments, the transition occurs between 18 and 20 kbar at 1200 °C and between 26 and 27 kbar at 1500 °C, corresponding to higher pressures than previously envisaged. A position for the transition deeper within the Earth further complicates the explanation of the so-called garnet signatures in the trace element and isotope patterns of mid-ocean ridge basalts. If melting during adiabatic upwelling beneath a mid-ocean ridge begins at the depth required for the stability of garnet in peridotitic compositions, simple melting models predict that the amount of melt produced should be much greater than the observed thickness of the oceanic crust. A partial solution to the apparent conflict might be that (1) the rather simplistic melting models are in error, (2) that melting begins in garnet pyroxenite veins that are believed to be stable at lower pressures than garnet lherzolite or (3) that melting does not involve garnet at all, but it is clinopyroxene causing the trace element patterns observed in basalts erupted at mid-ocean ridges. A second set of reversal experiments were conducted to investigate the solubility of alumina in both orthopyroxenes and clinopyroxenes at the high temperatures near the solidus in the system CMAS. The results are compatible with most previous studies, and may be used as a starting point to calibrate thermodynamic models for pyroxenes in chemical systems, approximating upper mantle chemistry.

Large discrepancies are reported for the near-solidus, pressure-temperature location of the spinel to garnet lherzolite univariant curve in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS). Experimental data obtained previously from the piston-cylinder apparatus indicate interlaboratory pressure differences of up to 30% relative. To investigate this disparity—and because this reaction is pivotal for understanding upper mantle petrology—the phase boundary was located by means of an independent method. The reaction was studied via in situ X-ray diffraction techniques in a 6-8 type multianvil press. Pressure is determined by using MgO as an internal standard and is calculated from measured unit cell volume by using a newly developed high-temperature equation of state for MgO. Combinations of real-time and quenched-sample observations are used to bracket the phase transition. The transition between 1350 and 1500°C was reversed, and the reaction was further constrained from 1207 to 1545°C. Within this temperature range, the transition has an average dT/dP slope of ∼40 ± 10°C/kbar, consistent with several previous piston-cylinder studies. Extrapolation of our curve to 1575°C, an established temperature of the P-T invariant point, yields a pressure of 25.1 ± 1.2 kbar. We also obtained a real-time reversal of the quartz-coesite transition at 30.5 ± 2.3 kbar at 1357°C, which is about 2 to 4 kbar lower in pressure than previously determined in the piston-cylinder apparatus.  相似文献

A fully thermodynamic model for mafic melt in CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 (CMAS) has been calibrated, for calculation of melting equilibria in the pressure range 0–50 kbar. It is intended as a preliminary step towards a large‐system melt model, suitable for exploring melting, melt loss and crystallization processes in a wide range of natural rock compositions. Calibration was performed with attention to the model's behaviour in its compositional subsystems, as a rigorous test of model structure and parameterization. The model is consistent with the latest Holland & Powell thermodynamic data set, and can therefore be used to calculate phase relations in conjunction with the many solid‐phase activity–composition models written for the data set. Model calculations successfully reproduce experimental melting reactions in CMAS spinel lherzolite and garnet lherzolite assemblages, as well as sapphirine‐ and kyanite‐bearing assemblages, at moderate to high pressure. Thermodynamically sensitive features, such as thermal divides are also recovered. However, some changes to the model structure will be required before the model can describe the full range of mafic and ultramafic melt compositions known from experiment at low pressures.  相似文献

We have experimentally determined the solidus position of model lherzolite in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-CO2 (CMAS.CO2) from 3 to 7 GPa by locating isobaric invariant points where liquid coexists with olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, garnet and carbonate. The intersection of two subsolidus reactions at the solidus involving carbonate generates two invariant points, I1A and I2A, which mark the transition from CO2-bearing to dolomite-bearing and dolomite-bearing to magnesite-bearing lherzolite respectively. In CMAS.CO2, we find I1A at 2.6 GPa/1230 °C and I2A at 4.8 GPa/1320 °C. The variation of all phase compositions along the solidus has also been determined. In the pressure range investigated, solidus melts are carbonatitic with SiO2 contents of <6 wt%, CO2 contents of ˜45 wt%, and Ca/(Ca+Mg) ratios that range from 0.59 (3 GPa) to 0.45 (7 GPa); compositionally they resemble natural magnesiocarbonatites. Volcanic magnesiocarbonatites may well be an example of the eruption of such melts directly from their mantle source region as evidenced by their diatremic style of activity and lack of associated silicate magmas. Our data in the CMAS.CO2 system show that in a carbonate-bearing mantle, solidus and near-solidus melts will be CO2-rich and silica poor. The widespread evidence for the presence of CO2 in both the oceanic and continental upper mantle implies that such low degree SiO2-poor carbonatitic melts are common in the mantle, despite the rarity of carbonatites themselves at the Earth's surface.

The pressure-temperature curve for the equilibrium anorthite+2enstatite=pyrope+diopside+quartz has been determined in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O2-SiO2 to be between 13.4 and 14.0 kbars at 900° C. The slope up to 1,240° C is 8.5 bar/K. The entropy change at 1,200 K is 20 kJ. These data, combined with data from the literature, lead to a geobarometer equation which, when applied to rocks from the Agto area (West Greenland), gives pressure estimates of 6–10 kbars at 800° C. The results are consistent for rocks of differing Fe/Mg ratios and are consistent with independent pressure estimates.  相似文献

Garnet pyroxenite from high pressure granulite facies occurs with different mineral assemblages which involve garnet, clinopyroxene, orthopyroxene, plagioclase, amphibole and quartz with spinel developing as symplectite with orthopyroxene and plagioclase in large cracks. Three successive parageneses have been identified. The primary assemblage is characterised by the presence of quartz. The second assemblage involves orthopyroxene–plagioclase–hornblende symplectite, and the third assemblage is characterised by the development of spinel in symplectites with orthopyroxene and plagioclase. Using THERMOCALC (V2.7), a quantitative pseudosection in the system CaO–FeO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O has been calculated. The assemblage involving quartz developed at high pressure, while the assemblage involving spinel developed at lower pressure. The peak of metamorphism in Tin Begane was calculated at 860 °C and 13.5 kb with aH2O=0.2. These conditions are followed by a decrease of pressure down to 4.8 kb.  相似文献

The equilibrium (Mg, Fe, Zn)3Al2Si3O12+2Al2SiO5=3(Mg, Fe, Zn)Al2O4+5SiO2 garnet + sillimanite/kyanitc = spinel + quartz was calibrated in the piston-cylinder apparatus between 11 and 30 kbar, and over the temperature range of 950 to 1200°C. Three experimental mixes of Mg no. [100*MgO/(MgO+FeO)] 40, 47 and 60, in the FeO –MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–ZnO (FMASZn) system were used under low oxygen fugacities and anhydrous conditions. We derive a ternary Fe–Mg–Zn symmetric mixing model for aluminous spinels in equilibrium with garnet, to quantify the increase in gahnitic end-member of spinel with increasing pressure and descreasing temperature. Further experiments in the spinel-cordieritequartz-sillimanite field were combined with garnet-cordierite data from the literature to produce a consistent set of equations describing the exchange reactions in FMASHZn relevant to quartz-sillimanite bearing rocks at granulite facies conditions. As spinel is an important mineral participating in many rocks of aluminous composition at granulite-facies conditions, and as zinc contributes to an enlargement of spinel's stability field towards higher pressures and lower temperatures, the thermobarometric calibrations presented here will be most significant in delineating the prograde and retrograde trajectory of P-T paths.  相似文献

Ternary clinopyroxenes have been synthesized in the plane Di-CaTs-En. The variation of their crystallographic parameters has allowed the development of three determinative grids, which utilize b-, 2 22¯1–2 310 and 2 330 –2 202 respectively. These grids show significant differences in comparison with the previously proposed ones. Present results have been used to review some data on clinopyroxenes equilibria in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS) (Biggar 1969; Bruno and Facchinelli 1978; Herzberg 1978; O'Hara and Schairer 1963; Boyd 1969). In particular the petrogenic grid correlating P, T and CaTs content of clinopyroxenes in spinel-lherzolite assemblage (Herzberg 1978) has been revised, and consequently equilibrium temperatures rise by one hundred degrees.  相似文献

Magnesiocarpholite has been synthesized on its own composition between 15 and 25 kb water pressure and 415°–600° C. Best conditions are 25 kb-550° C, starting from a mixture of oxides and synthetic cordierite. Within the MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O system, possible substitutions appear to be very limited in magnesiocarpholite. Cell-parameters are a=13.706(3), b= 20.075(3), c=5.107(l) Å, space group Ccca. The larger cell, as compared with the most magnesian natural carpholites, is tentatively ascribed to structural disorder. Preliminary stability data confirm the low-temperature character of this mineral which is shown to be a high-pressure equivalent of sudoite+quartz.  相似文献

Two suites of spinel peridotites of the Westeifel/West Germany were found to have equilibrated in a narrow temperature interval each. Temperatures calculated from the CaO-solubility in orthopyroxene using experimental data of Lindsley and Dixon (1976) are 945° C to 980° C for the amphibole bearing Ia-suite and 1,150° C to 1,165° C for the Ib-suite. From the study of phase equilibria in both series it appears that Al-solubility in orthopyroxene is controlled by the composition of the coexisting spinel. Temperatures calculated from Al-solubility in orthopyroxene using an equation of Fujii (1976) derived from the univariant reaction en+spfo+Al-en in the MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system show a clear dependence on the FeCr2O4 component in the spinel phase, although ideal solution correction allowing for additional components was made. Temperatures obtained for the most chromite rich spinel — orthopyroxene pairs are 1,370° C and 1,240° C, respectively. These temperatures are by 220° C higher than those from Cr-poor pairs and those obtained from Ca solution in orthopyroxene.For practical purposes of geothermometry in spinel peridotites, an empirical equation allowing for the mole fraction of FeCr2O4 in spinel has been derived by a linear least squares fit to the orthopyroxene — spinel compositional data and temperatures calculated from the CaO-solubility of orthopyroxene in the present paper.  相似文献

Four different types of parageneses of the minerals calcite, dolomite, diopside, forsterite, spinel, amphibole (pargasite), (Ti–)clinohumite and phlogopite were observed in calcite–dolomite marbles collected in the Kimi-Complex of the Rhodope Metamorphic Province (RMP). The presence of former aragonite can be inferred from carbonate inclusions, which, in combination with an analysis of phase relations in the simplified system CaO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–CO2 (CMAS–CO2) show that the mineral assemblages preserved in these marbles most likely equilibrated at the aragonite–calcite transition, slightly below the coesite stability field, at ca. 720 °C, 25 kbar and aCO2 ~ 0.01. The thermodynamic model predicts that no matter what activity of CO2, garnet has to be present in aluminous calcite–dolomite-marble at UHP conditions.  相似文献
