Viscosity of silicate melts is a critical property for understanding volcanic and igneous processes in the Earth. We investigate the pressure effect on the viscosity of rhyolitic melts using two methods: indirect viscosity inference from hydrous species reaction in melts using a piston cylinder at pressures up to 2.8 GPa and direct viscosity measurement by parallel-plate creep viscometer in an internally-heated pressure vessel at pressures up to 0.4 GPa. Comparison of viscosities of a rhyolitic melt with 0.8 wt% water at 0.4 GPa shows that both methods give consistent results. In the indirect method, viscosities of hydrous rhyolitic melts were inferred based on the kinetics of hydrous species reaction in the melt upon cooling (i.e., the equivalence of rheologically defined glass transition temperature and chemically defined apparent equilibrium temperature). The cooling experiments were carried out in a piston-cylinder apparatus using hydrous rhyolitic samples with 0.8-4 wt% water. Cooling rates of the kinetic experiments varied from 0.1 K/s to 100 K/s; hence the range of viscosity inferred from this method covers 3 orders of magnitude. The data from this method show that viscosity increases with increasing pressure from 1 GPa to 3 GPa for hydrous rhyolitic melts with water content ?0.8 wt% in the high viscosity range. We also measured viscosity of rhyolitic melt with 0.13 wt% water using the parallel-plate viscometer at pressures 0.2 and 0.4 GPa in an internally-heated pressure vessel. The data show that viscosity of rhyolitic melt with 0.13 wt% water decreases with increasing pressure. Combining our new data with literature data, we develop a viscosity model of rhyolitic melts as a function of temperature, pressure and water content. 相似文献

Water is an important volatile component in andesitic eruptions and deep-seated andesitic magma chambers. We report an investigation of H2O speciation and diffusion by dehydrating haploandesitic melts containing ?2.5 wt.% water at 743-873 K and 100 MPa in cold-seal pressure vessels. FTIR microspectroscopy was utilized to measure species [molecular H2O (H2Om) and hydroxyl group (OH)] and total H2O (H2Ot) concentration profiles on the quenched glasses from the dehydration experiments. The equilibrium constant of the H2O speciation reaction H2Om+O?2OH, K = (XOH)2/(XH2OmXO) where X means mole fraction on a single oxygen basis, in this Fe-free andesite varies with temperature as ln K = 1.547-2453/T where T is in K. Comparison with previous speciation data on rhyolitic and dacitic melts indicates that, for a given water concentration, Fe-free andesitic melt contains more hydroxyl groups. Water diffusivity at the experimental conditions increases rapidly with H2O concentration, contrary to previous H2O diffusion data in an andesitic melt at 1608-1848 K. The diffusion profiles are consistent with the model that molecular H2O is the diffusion species. Based on the above speciation model, H2Om and H2Ot diffusivity (in m2/s) in haploandesite at 743-873 K, 100 MPa, and H2Ot ? 2.5 wt.% can be formulated as

H2O diffusion in dacitic melt was investigated at 0.48-0.95 GPa and 786-893 K in a piston-cylinder apparatus. The diffusion couple design was used, in which a nominally dry dacitic glass makes one half and is juxtaposed with a hydrous dacitic glass containing up to ∼8 wt.% total water (H2Ot). H2O concentration profiles were measured on quenched glasses with infrared microspectroscopy. The H2O diffusivity in dacite increases rapidly with water content under experimental conditions, similar to previous measurements at the same temperature but at pressure <0.15 GPa. However, compared with the low-pressure data, H2O diffusion at high pressure is systematically slower. H2O diffusion profiles in dacite can be modeled by assuming molecular H2O (H2Om) is the diffusing species. Total H2O diffusivity DH2Ot within 786-1798 K, 0-1 GPa, and 0-8 wt.% H2Ot can be expressed as: where DH2Ot is in m2/s, T is temperature in K, P is pressure in GPa, K = exp(1.49 − 2634/T) is the equilibrium constant of speciation reaction (H2Om+O?2OH) in the melt, X = C/18.015/[C/18.015 + (100 − C)/33.82], C is wt.% of H2Ot, and 18.015 and 33.82 g/mol correspond to the molar masses of H2O and anhydrous dacite on a single oxygen basis. Compared to H2O diffusion in rhyolite, diffusivity in dacite is lower at intermediate temperatures but higher at superliquidus temperatures. This general H2O diffusivity expression can be applied to a broad range of geological conditions, including both magma chamber processes and volcanic eruption dynamics from conduit to the surface. 相似文献

High-pressure liquids in the MgO-SiO2-H2O (MSH) system have been investigated at 11 and 13.5 GPa and between 1000 and 1350 °C. A bulk composition more magnesian than the tie-line forsterite-H2O was employed for the study. Rocking multi-anvil experiments were combined with a diamond trap set-up. After termination of the experiments, the liquid trapped in the diamond layer was analysed by laser ablation ICP-MS using the ‘freezing’ technique. At 11 GPa, liquids coexist with one or two of phase A, clinohumite, chondrodite, and forsterite. A marked discontinuity in the evolution of liquid compositions near 1100 °C is observed at 11 GPa. A step of ∼13 wt% H2O and 13 wt% MgO is interpreted to result from overstepping the fluid-saturated solidus reaction mass balanced to 1.00(18) phase A + 1.07(4) fluid = 0.63(15) chondrodite + 1.44(2) melt. At 13.5 GPa liquids coexist with one or two of hydrous wadsleyite, clinohumite, superhydrous B, phase B, and forsterite. The discontinuity in liquid composition is no longer present, indicating that the second critical endpoint of the solidus has been overstepped. Thus, hydrous melts in the Mg-rich part of the MSH system (molar bulk Mg/Si > 2) are chemically distinct from aqueous fluids at pressure up to 11 GPa. Convergence of fluid and melt compositions along the solidus resulting in a supercritical liquid occurs between 11 and 13.5 GPa, at which pressure the entire MSH system becomes supercritical. 相似文献

A 2.4-year controlled-cooling-rate experiment was carried out to investigate the dependence of hydrous species concentrations in rhyolitic melt on cooling rate. The experiment allows us to obtain speciation for a cooling rate of 1.68 × 10−6 K/s, extending previous experimental data by two orders of magnitude. Furthermore, a viscosity as high as 1017.2 Pa s is inferred for this hydrous rhyolitic melt with 0.85 wt% total H2O at 671 K. The results are applied to examine whether a geospeedometry model and four viscosity models may be extrapolated to slower cooling rates or lower temperatures. Two of the viscosity models and the geospeedometry model can be extrapolated by two orders of magnitude upwards in terms of viscosity or downwards in terms of cooling rate. 相似文献

Viscosity experiments were conducted with two flux-rich pegmatitic melts PEG0 and PEG2. The Li2O, F, B2O3 and P2O5 contents of these melts were 1.04, 4.06, 2.30 and 1.68 and 1.68, 5.46, 2.75 and 2.46 wt%, respectively. The water contents
varied from dry to 9.04 wt% H2O. The viscosity was determined in internally heated gas pressure vessels using the falling sphere method in the temperature
range 873–1,373 K at 200 and 320 MPa pressure. At 1,073 K, the viscosity of water-rich (~9 wt% H2O) melts is in the range of 3–60 Pa s, depending on the melt composition. Extrapolations to lower temperature assuming an
Arrhenian behavior indicate that highly fluxed pegmatite melts may reach viscosities of ~30 Pa s at 773 K. However, this value
is a minimum estimation considering the strongly non-Arrhenian behavior of hydrous silicate melts. The experimentally determined
melt viscosities are lower than the prediction of current models taking compositional parameters into account. Thus, these
models need to be improved to predict accurately the viscosity of flux-rich water bearing melts. The data also indicate that
Li influences significantly the melt viscosity. Decreasing the molar Al/(Na + K + Li) ratio results in a strong viscosity
decrease, and highly fluxed melts with low Al/(Na + K + Li) ratios (~0.8) have a rheological behavior which is very close
to that of supercritical fluids. 相似文献

Infrared spectroscopy was used to determine the concentrations of molecular water and hydroxyl groups in hydrous rhyolitic, orthoclasic, jadeitic, and Ca–Al-silicate glasses synthesized by quenching of melts from elevated presure and temperature. The rhyolitic glasses and some of the Ca–Al-silicate glasses were quenched from water-vapor-saturated melts and used to determine the solubility of water in melts of these compositions. For all compositions studied, hydroxyl groups are the dominant hydrous species at low total water contents, whereas molecular water dominates at elevated water contents. Although the trends in species concentrations in all these compositions are similar, the proportions of the two hydrous species are influenced by silicate chemistry: increasing silica content and K relative to Na both favor molecular water over hydroxyl. Results on rhyolitic glass demonstrate that molecular water is also favored by decreasing temperature at T<850°C. For rhyolitic glasses quenched from vapor-saturated melts, the mole fraction of molecular water is proportional to water fugacity for P(H2O)1500 bars, demonstrating that the behavior of molecular water is approximately Henrian at total water contents up to at least several weight percent. Data on water solubility for albitic, orthoclasic, and Ca–Al-silicate melts to higher pressures can also be fit by assuming Henrian behavior for molecular water and can be used to set constraints on the partial molar volume of water in these melts. The demonstration of Henry's law for molecular water in these liquids provides a link between spectroscopic measurements of microscopic species concentrations and macroscopic thermodynamic properties. 相似文献

The dacite pumice erupted from Mt. Pinatubo on June 15, 1991 (whole-rock, rhyolitic groundmass glasses and homogenized melt inclusions) has been analyzed using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), nanosecond and femtosecond laser ablation ICP-MS and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) to evaluate its ore-forming potential. Data suggest that adakite magmas are metal-rich and concentrate ore metals during magmatic differentiation. Sulfides segregate in limited amounts under the hydrous, oxidizing conditions typical of adakitic magmas resulting in incompatible behavior for Au (6-22 ppb), Cu (26-77 ppm), and Pb, Mo, As, and Sb in melts of dacitic to rhyolitic compositions. Metal transfer from this adakite magma to the coexisting aqueous phase was favored by the peraluminous composition of the rhyolitic melt and high aqueous chloride concentrations. Mass balance calculations suggest that the pre-eruptive aqueous phase could have extracted a minimum of 100 t Au and 5 × 105 t Cu from the Mt. Pinatubo magma. Our data suggest that intrusives having adakitic signatures are genetically associated with Au-Cu and Cu-Mo mineralization, auriferous porphyry copper deposits, and epithermal gold veins. High H2O, Cl, Sr/Y, Pb/Ce, Mo/Ce, As/Ce and Sb/Ce in Mt. Pinatubo melts reflect the contribution of deep fluids derived from subducted sediments and altered MORBs in the dacite genesis. The slab-derived fluids carrying mobile elements are likely responsible for the enrichment of adakite magmas in gold, associated metals and H2O, and may explain the exceptional ore-forming potential of adakite magmatism. 相似文献

A first experimental study was conducted to determine the equilibrium iron isotope fractionation between pyrrhotite and silicate melt at magmatic conditions. Experiments were performed in an internally heated gas pressure vessel at 500 MPa and temperatures between 840 and 1000 °C for 120-168 h. Three different types of experiments were conducted and after phase separation the iron isotope composition of the run products was measured by MC-ICP-MS. (i) Kinetic experiments using 57Fe-enriched glass and natural pyrrhotite revealed that a close approach to equilibrium is attained already after 48 h. (ii) Isotope exchange experiments—using mixtures of hydrous peralkaline rhyolitic glass powder (∼4 wt% H2O) and natural pyrrhotites (Fe1 − xS) as starting materials— and (iii) crystallisation experiments, in which pyrrhotite was formed by reaction between elemental sulphur and rhyolitic melt, consistently showed that pyrrhotite preferentially incorporates light iron. No temperature dependence of the fractionation factor was found between 840 and 1000 °C, within experimental and analytical precision. An average fractionation factor of Δ 56Fe/54Fepyrrhotite-melt = −0. 35 ± 0.04‰ (2SE, n = 13) was determined for this temperature range. Predictions of Fe isotope fractionation between FeS and ferric iron-dominated silicate minerals are consistent with our experimental results, indicating that the marked contrast in both ligand and redox state of iron control the isotope fractionation between pyrrhotite and silicate melt. Consequently, the fractionation factor determined in this study is representative for the specific Fe2+/ΣFe ratio of our peralkaline rhyolitic melt of 0.38 ± 0.02. At higher Fe2+/ΣFe ratios a smaller fractionation factor is expected. Further investigation on Fe isotope fractionation between other mineral phases and silicate melts is needed, but the presented experimental results already suggest that even at high temperatures resolvable variations in the Fe isotope composition can be generated by equilibrium isotope fractionation in natural magmatic systems. 相似文献

The speciation of water in silicate melts 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Previous models of water solubility in silicate melts generally assume essentially complete reaction of water molecules to hydroxyl groups. In this paper a new model is proposed that is based on the hypothesis that the observed concentrations of molecular water and hydroxyl groups in hydrous silicate glasses reflect those of the melts from which they were quenched. The new model relates the proportions of molecular water and hydroxyl groups in melts via the following reaction describing the homogeneous equilibrium between melt species: H2Omolecular (melt) + oxygen (melt) = 2OH (melt). An equilibrium constant has been formulated for this reaction and species are assumed to mix ideally. Given an equilibrium constant for this reaction of 0.1–0.3, the proposed model can account for variations in the concentrations of molecular water and hydroxyl groups in melts as functions of the total dissolved water content that are similar to those observed in glasses. The solubility of molecular water in melt is described by the following reaction: H2O (vapor) = H2Omolecular (melt).These reactions describing the homogeneous and heterogeneous equilibria of hydrous silicate melts can account for the following observations: the linearity between fH2O and the square of the mole fraction of dissolved water at low total water contents and deviations from linearity at high total water contents; the difference between the partial molar volume of water in melts at low total water contents and at high total water contents; the similarity between water contents of vapor-saturated melts of significantly different compositions at high pressures versus the dependence on melt composition of water solubility in silicate melts at low pressures; and the variations of viscosity, electrical conductivity, the diffusivity of “water,” the diffusivity of cesium, and phase relationships with the total dissolved water contents of melts.This model is thus consistent with available observations on hydrous melt systems and available data on the species concentrations of hydrous glasses and is easily tested, since measurements of the concentrations of molecular water and hydroxyl groups in silicate glasses quenched from melts equilibrated over a range of conditions and total dissolved water contents are readily obtainable. 相似文献

The geochemical partitioning of bromine between hydrous haplogranitic melts, initially enriched with respect to Br and aqueous fluids, has been continuously monitored in situ during decompression. Experiments were carried out in diamond anvil cells from 890 °C to room temperature and from 1.7 GPa to room pressure, typically from high P, T conditions corresponding to total miscibility (presence of a supercritical fluid). Br contents were measured in aqueous fluids, hydrous melts and supercritical fluids. Partition coefficients of bromine were characterized at pressure and temperature between fluids, hydrous melts and/or glasses, as appropriate: DBrfluid/melt = (Br)fluid/(Br)melt, ranges from 2.18 to 9.2 ± 0.5 for conditions within the ranges 0.66-1.7 GPa, 590-890 °C; and DBrfluid/glass = (Br)fluid/(Br)glass ranges from 60 to 375 at room conditions. The results suggest that because high pressure melts and fluids are capable of accepting high concentrations of bromine, this element may be efficiently removed from the slab to the mantle source of arc magmas. We show that Br may be highly concentrated in subduction zone magmas and strongly enriched in subduction-related volcanic gases, because its mobility is strongly correlated with that of water during magma degassing. Furthermore, our experimental results suggest that a non negligible part of Br present in the subducted slab may remain in the down-going slab, being transported toward the transition zone. This indicates that the Br cycle in subduction zones is in fact divided in two related but independent parts: (1) a shallower one where recycled Br may leave the slab with a water and silica-bearing “fluid” leading to enriched arc magmas that return Br to the atmosphere. (2) A deeper cycle where Br may be recycled back to the mantle maybe to the transition zone, where it may be present in high pressure water-rich metasomatic fluids. 相似文献

We report the first study of electrical conductivities of silicate melts at very high pressures (up to 10 GPa) and temperatures
(up to 2,173 K). Impedance spectroscopy was applied to dry and hydrous albite (NaAlSi3O8) glasses and liquids (with 0.02–5.7 wt% H2O) at 473–1,773 K and 0.9–1.8 GPa in a piston-cylinder apparatus, using a coaxial cylindrical setup. Measurements were also
taken at 473–2,173 K and 6–10 GPa in two multianvil presses, using simple plate geometry. The electrical conductivity of albite
melts is found to increase with temperature and water content but to decrease with pressure. However, at 6 GPa, conductivity
increases rapidly with temperature above 1,773 K, so that at temperatures beyond 2,200 K, conductivity may actually increase
with pressure. Moreover, the effect of water in enhancing conductivity appears to be more pronounced at 6 GPa than at 1.8 GPa.
These observations suggest that smaller fractions of partial melt than previously assumed may be sufficient to explain anomalously
high conductivities, such as in the asthenosphere. For dry melt at 1.8 GPa, the activation energy at T > 1,073 K is higher than that at T < 1,073 K, and the inflection point coincides with the rheological glass transition. Upon heating at 6–10 GPa, dry albite
glass often shows a conductivity depression starting from ~1,173 K (due to crystallization), followed by rapid conductivity
enhancement when temperature approaches the albite liquidus. For hydrous melts at 0.9–1.8 GPa, the activation energies for
conductivity at ≥1,373 K are lower than those at <973 K, with a complex transition pattern in between. Electrical conductivity
and previously reported Na diffusivity in albite melt are consistent with the Nernst–Einstein relation, suggesting the dominance
of Na transport for electrical conduction in albite melts. 相似文献

The present study illustrates the interest of using the elastic recoil detection analysis (ERDA) method to characterize any geological sample matrix with respect to hydrogen. ERDA is combined with Rutherford back scattering (RBS) and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE), allowing the simultaneous characterization of the matrix with respect to major and trace elements (Z > 15). Analyses are performed by mapping of a 4 × 16 μm2 incident beam of 4He+ on large areas (50 × 200 μm2). The method is almost not destructive and requires no calibration with respect to well known hydrous samples. Hydrous and nominally anhydrous phases in contact with each other in the same sample may both be characterized. The depth of the analyses is limited to several μm beneath the surface, allowing tiny samples to be investigated, provided their sizes are larger than the incident beam. Our setup has been improved in order to allow H determination on a micrometric scale with a 5-15% relative uncertainty and a detection limit of 94 wt ppm H2O. We present multi-elemental mappings on a large panel of samples: (1) natural and analogue synthetic glasses from Stromboli volcano (0.44-4.59 wt% H2O), natural rhyolitic glasses (1466-1616 wt ppm H2O); (2) magmatic rhyolitic melt inclusions from Guadeloupe Island (4.37-5.47 wt% H2O) and their quartz host crystal (2020 ± 230 wt ppm H2O); (3) nominally anhydrous natural (82-260 wt ppm H2O) and experimentally hydrated (240-790 wt ppm H2O) olivines; natural clinopyroxenes (159-716 wt ppm H2O); natural orthopyroxenes (201-452 wt ppm H2O); a natural garnet (90 wt ppm H2O). Results show that ERDA is a strong and accurate reference method that can be used to characterize geological sample from various matrix compositions from high to low water contents. It can be used to calibrate other methods of microanalysis such as Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) or secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). 相似文献

Solubility and solution mechanism of H2O in alkali silicate melts and glasses at high pressure and temperature 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
The solubility behavior of H2O in melts in the system Na2O-SiO2-H2O was determined by locating the univariant phase boundary, melt = melt + vapor in the 0.8-2 GPa and 1000°-1300°C pressure and temperature range, respectively. The NBO/Si-range of the melts (0.25-1) was chosen to cover that of most natural magmatic liquids. The H2O solubility in melts in the system Na2O-SiO2-H2O (XH2O) ranges between 18 and 45 mol% (O = 1) with (∂XH2O/∂P)T∼14-18 mol% H2O/GPa. The (∂XH2O/∂P)T is negatively correlated with NBO/Si (= Na/Si) of the melt. The (∂XH2O/∂T)P is in the −0.03 to +0.05 mol% H2O/°C range, and is negatively correlated with NBO/Si. The [∂XH2O/∂(NBO/Si)]P,T is in the −3 to −8 mol% H2O/(NBO/Si) range. Melts with NBO/Si similar to basaltic liquids (∼0.6-∼1.0) show (∂XH2O/∂T)P<0, whereas more polymerized melts exhibit (∂XH2O/∂T)P>0. Complete miscibility between hydrous melt and aqueous fluid occurs in the 0.8-2 GPa pressure range for melts with NBO/Si ≤0.5 at T >1100°C. Miscibility occurs at lower pressure the more polymerized the melt. 相似文献

Solubility and solution mechanisms of H2O in depolymerized melts in the system Na2O-Al2O3-SiO2 were deduced from spectroscopic data of glasses quenched from melts at 1100 °C at 0.8-2.0 GPa. Data were obtained along a join with fixed nominal NBO/T = 0.5 of the anhydrous materials [Na2Si4O9-Na2(NaAl)4O9] with Al/(Al+Si) = 0.00-0.25. The H2O solubility was fitted to the expression, XH2O=0.20+0.0020fH2O-0.7XAl+0.9(XAl)2, where XH2O is the mole fraction of H2O (calculated with O = 1), fH2O the fugacity of H2O, and XAl = Al/(Al+Si). Partial molar volume of H2O in the melts, , calculated from the H2O-solulbility data assuming ideal mixing of melt-H2O solutions, is 12.5 cm3/mol for Al-free melts and decreases linearly to 8.9 cm3/mol for melts with Al/(Al+Si) ∼ 0.25. However, if recent suggestion that is composition-independent is applied to constrain activity-composition relations of the hydrous melts, the activity coefficient of H2O, , increases with Al/(Al+Si).Solution mechanisms of H2O were obtained by combining Raman and 29Si NMR spectroscopic data. Degree of melt depolymerization, NBO/T, increases with H2O content. The rate of NBO/T-change with H2O is negatively correlated with H2O and positively correlated with Al/(Al+Si). The main depolymerization reaction involves breakage of oxygen bridges in Q4-species to form Q2 species. Steric hindrance appears to restrict bonding of H+ with nonbridging oxygen in Q3 species. The presence of Al3+ does not affect the water solution mechanisms significantly. 相似文献

The diffusion of water in dacitic and andesitic melts was investigated at temperatures of 1458 to 1858 K and pressures between 0.5 and 1.5 GPa using the diffusion couple technique. Pairs of nominally dry glasses and hydrous glasses containing between 1.5 and 6.3 wt.% dissolved H2O were heated for 60 to 480 s in a piston cylinder apparatus. Concentration profiles of hydrous species (OH groups and H2O molecules) and total water (CH2Ot = sum of OH and H2O) were measured along the cylindrical axis of the diffusion sample using IR microspectroscopy. Electron microprobe traverses show no significant change in relative proportions of anhydrous components along H2O profiles, indicating that our data can be treated as effective binary interdiffusion between H2O and the rest of the silicate melt. Bulk water diffusivity (DH2Ot) was derived from profiles of total water using a modified Boltzmann-Matano method as well as using fittings assuming a functional relationship between DH2Ot and CH2Ot. In dacitic melts DH2Ot is proportional to CH2Ot up to 6 wt.%. In andesitic melts the dependence of DH2Ot on CH2Ot is less pronounced. A pressure effect on water diffusivity could not be resolved for either dacitic or andesitic melt in the range 0.5 to 1.5 GPa. Combining our results with previous studies on water diffusion in rhyolite and basalt show that for a given water content DH2Ot increases monotonically with increasing melt depolymerization at temperatures >1500 K. Assuming an Arrhenian behavior in the whole compositional range, the following formulation was derived to estimate DH2Ot (m2/s) at 1 wt.% H2Ot in melts with rhyolitic to andesitic composition as a function of T (K), P (MPa) and S (wt.% SiO2):

Water diffusion in silicate melts is important for understanding bubble growth in magma, magma degassing and eruption dynamics of volcanos. Previous studies have made significant progress on water diffusion in silicate melts, especially rhyolitic melt. However, the pressure dependence of H2O diffusion is not constrained satisfactorily. We investigated H2O diffusion in rhyolitic melt at 0.95–1.9 GPa and 407–1629 °C, and 0.2–5.2 wt.% total water (H2Ot) content with the diffusion-couple method in a piston-cylinder apparatus. Compared to previous data at 0.1–500 MPa, H2O diffusivity is smaller at higher pressures, indicating a negative pressure effect. This pressure effect is more pronounced at low temperatures. Assuming H2O diffusion in rhyolitic melt is controlled by the mobility of molecular H2O (H2Om), the diffusivity of H2Om (DH2Om) at H2Ot ≤ 7.7 wt.%, 403–1629 °C, and ≤ 1.9 GPa is given by
DH2Om=D0exp(aX),
