The solubility of gold was measured in dry NaCl salt melt at 860°С in closed systems with SiO2 (silica glass). The reactions do not occur in a closed system without oxidizer. Reaction of SiO2 with salt in the presence of an oxidizer (KClO4) results in the formation of water-soluble sodium silicates (a mixture of meta-, ortho-, and pyrosilicates). Gold mobilization by a salt melt is limited by the diffusion of Na in SiO2. In a closed system with the addition of a strong oxidizer (dry KClO4 salt), the solubility of gold increase with increasing amount of KClO4 and the saturation level is estimated to be ~3 wt % Au. For ampoule configurations used in our experiments, 5.5 g of gold dissolved per 1 g of KClO4. Only cheap, non-toxic reagents were used in our model experiments on gold dissolution in a salt melt, which did not require elevated pressures. The solubility of 30 g Au per 1 kg NaCl will eliminate geochemical problems associated with the compact leaching of gold ores using cyanide. 相似文献
The dissolution rate of minerals in silicate melts is generally assumed to be a function of the rate of mass transport of the released cations in the solvent. While this appears to be the case in moderately to highly viscous solvents, there is some evidence that the rate-controlling step may be different in very fluid, highly silica undersaturated melts such as basanites. In this study, convection-free experiments using solvent melts with silica activity from 0.185–0.56 and viscosity from 0.03–4.6 Pa s show that the dissolution rate is strongly dependent on the degree of superheating, silica activity and the viscosity of the solvent. Dissolution rates increase with increasing melt temperature and decreasing silica activity and viscosity. Quartz dissolution in melts with viscosity <0.59–1.9 Pa s and silica activity <0.47 is controlled by the rate of interface reaction as shown by the absence of steady state composition and silica saturation in the interface melts. Only in the most viscous melt with the highest silica activity is quartz dissolution controlled by the rate of diffusion in the melt and only after a long initiation time. The results of this study indicate that although a diffusion-based model may be applicable to dissolution in viscous magmas, a different approach that combines the interplay between the degree of undersaturation of the melt and its viscosity is required in very fluid melts.This revised version was published online September 2004 with a correction to Figure 8. 相似文献
The Ccarb masses per time unit was determined for separate oceanic basins and for the entire World Ocean using lithological–facies mapping of the Neo– and Eopleistocene age sections of the Pleistocene pelagic zones in the World Ocean. These parameters are compared with those of continents, continental shelves and slopes, and oceans, which were recalculated using data by Ronov (1993) for the Upper Jurassic–Pliocene. At the Mesozoic–Cenozoic boundary, carbonate accumulation was shifted from continents to oceans. The accumulation of carbonate sediments on continents is determined by areas of epicontinental seas. Significant role in the history of oceanic carbonate sedimentation is played by the nutrient fluxes from continents into the World Ocean. Subduction and evolution of the carbonate compensation depth (CCD) play significant role in calculating the quantitative parameters of carbonate accumulation in ocean. 相似文献
In situ high-pressure synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopic studies of orthorhombic CaFe2O4-type β-CaCr2O4 chromite were carried out up to 16.2 and 32.0 GPa at room temperature using multi-anvil apparatus and diamond anvil cell, respectively. No phase transition was observed in this study. Fitting a third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state to the P–V data yields a zero-pressure volume of V0 = 286.8(1) Å3, an isothermal bulk modulus of K0 = 183(5) GPa and the first pressure derivative of isothermal bulk modulus K0′ = 4.1(8). Analyses of axial compressibilities show anisotropic elasticity for β-CaCr2O4 since the a-axis is more compressible than the b- and c-axis. Based on the obtained and previous results, the compressibility of several CaFe2O4-type phases was compared. The high-pressure Raman spectra of β-CaCr2O4 were analyzed to determine the pressure dependences and mode Grüneisen parameters of Raman-active bands. The thermal Grüneisen parameter of β-CaCr2O4 is determined to be 0.93(2), which is smaller than those of CaFe2O4-type CaAl2O4 and MgAl2O4. 相似文献
The pseudo-binary system CaMgSi2O6-KAlSi2O6, modeling the potassium-bearing clinopyroxene (KCpx) solid solution, has been studied at 7 GPa and 1,100–1,650 °C. The KCpx is a liquidus phase of the system up to 60 mol% of KAlSi2O6. At higher content of KAlSi2O6 in the system, grossular-rich garnet becomes a liquidus phase. Above 75 mol% of KAlSi2O6 in the system, KCpx is unstable at the solidus as well, and garnet coexists with kalsilite, Si-wadeite and kyanite. No coexistence of KCpx with kyanite was observed. Above the solidus, KAlSi2O6 content of the KCpx coexisting with melt increases with decreasing temperature. Near the solidus of the system (about 1,250 °C) KCpx contains up to 5.6 wt% of K2O, i.e. about 22–26 mol% of KAlSi2O6. Such high concentration of potassium in KCpx is presumably the maximal content of KAlSi2O6 in the Fe-free clinopyroxene at 7 GPa. In addition to the major substitution MgM1C2Al1K2, the KCpx solid solution contains Ca-Eskola and only minor Ca-Tschermack components. Our experimental results indicate that the natural assemblage KCpx+grossular-rich garnet might be a product of crystallization of the ultra-potassic SiO2-rich alumino-silicate mantle melts (>200 km).Editorial responsibility: J.

Elastic and thermoelastic constants of large single crystals of Ca2MgSi2O7 and Ca2ZnSi2O7 have been derived from ultrasonic resonance frequencies of plane-parallel plates and their shift upon variation of temperature, respectively. In addition, coefficients of thermal expansion and dielectric constants were determined. Both species possess quite similar properties. As observed in other isotypic magnesium and zinc compounds, the mean elastic stiffness and the deviation from the Cauchy relations are significantly larger in the zinc compound, due to a covalent contribution of the Zn–O bond. Positive thermoelastic constants T44 and T66 in Ca2MgSi2O7 allow temperature-independent ultrasonic generators and oscillators to be manufactured. 相似文献
Experimental data are presented for the solubility of NaNbO3 in the ternary system CaCO3–CaF2–NaNbO3 (or calcite–fluorite–lueshite) over the temperature range 500–1,000°C at 0.1 GPa pressure. Liquidus to solidus phase relationships are given for the pseudo-binary join ([CaCO3]60[CaF2]40)100-x–(NaNbO3)x (0<x<60 wt%). These data show that the maximum solubility of NaNbO3 in these liquids is about 17 wt% (or 13.8 wt% Nb2O5) at approximately 930°C, and is represented by the appearance of pyrochlore as the primary liquidus phase. The sub-liquidus assemblages with decreasing temperature for NaNbO3 contents of 20–50 wt% are: pyrochlore + liquid; pyrochlore + CaF2 + liquid; pyrochlore + CaF2 + CaCO3 + liquid. The solidus assemblage is pyrochlore + CaF2 + CaCO3 at temperatures of approximately 700°C (20 wt% NaNbO3) and 600°C (40 wt% NaNbO3). NaNbO3 is present only in sub-solidus assemblages. These data show that in this fluorine-bearing anhydrous system pyrochlore is the principal Nb-hosting supra-solidus phase, in contrast to fluorine-free hydrous melts from which perovskite-structured compounds crystallize. The crystallization of pyrochlore and/or perovskite-structured compounds from haplocarbonatite liquids is thus considered to be dependent upon the F/OH ratio of the melt. 相似文献
Equilibria in the model melt (NaAlSi3O8(80) + FeO(20))-C-H2 system were experimentally studied at ΔlogfO2(IW) from −2.2 to −5.6, a pressure of 1.5 GPa, and a temperature of 1400°C. The experiments were conducted in a piston-cylinder
apparatus using Pt capsules. The low fO2 values were imposed during the experiments by adding 2, 5, and 7 wt % of finely dispersed SiC to NaAlSi3O8(80) + FeO(20) powder. The experimental products were investigated by electron microprobe analysis and Raman spectroscopy.
The investigations showed that melting at 1.5 GPa and 1400°C in the stability field of a metallic iron phase produces silicate
liquids containing both oxidized and reduced H and C species. Carbon and hydrogen are dissolved in the melt as C-H (CH4) complexes. In addition, OH− groups, molecular hydrogen H2, and molecular water H2O were observed in the melts. The proportions of dissolved C and H species strongly depend on oxygen fugacity. With decreasing
fO2, the content of O-H species decreases and that of H-C species increases. The obtained data and previous results (Kadik et
al., 2004, 2006) allow us to suppose a fundamental change in the character of magmatic transfer of C-O-H components during
the evolution of the redox state of the Earth’s mantle in geologic time toward higher fO2 in its interiors. 相似文献
Thermophysical properties of the various polymorphs (i.e. α-, β- and γ) of Mg2SiO4 were computed with the CRYSTAL06 code within the framework of CO-LCAO-GTF approach by using the hybrid B3LYP density functional
method. Potential wells were calculated through a symmetry preserving, variable cell-shape structure relaxation procedure.
Vibrational frequencies were computed at the long-wavelength limit corresponding to the center of the Brillouin zone (k → 0). Thermodynamic properties were estimated through a semiclassical approach that combines B3LYP vibrational frequencies
for optic modes and the Kieffer’s model for the dispersion relation of acoustic modes. All computed values except volume (i.e.
electronic energy, zero point energy, optical vibrational modes, thermal corrections to internal energy, standard state enthalpy
and Gibbs free energy of reaction, bulk modulus and its P and T derivatives, entropy, CV, CP) are consistent with available experimental data and/or reasonable estimates. Volumes are slightly overestimated relative
to those determined directly by X-ray diffraction. A set of optimized volumetric properties that are consistent with the other
semiclassical properties of the phases α, β and γ have been derived by optimization procedure such that the calculated boundaries
for the α/β and β/γ equilibria have the best overall agreement with the experimental data for these transitions.

The results of study of phase equilibria in the MgO–SiO2–ZrO2 system at 1450–1550°C are reported. The studied system contains two eutectic points and six fields: (I) MgSiO3 + SiO2; (II) MgSiO3 + ZrO2; (III) ZrSiO4 + SiO2; (IV) MgSiO3 + Mg2SiO4; (V) ZrO2 + MgO; (VI) ZrSiO4 + ZrO2. The presence of fields (II) and (III) on the diagram shows that zircon in equilibrium with olivine and pyroxene crystallizes at very low concentrations of ZrO2 in the system. This provides a solution for one of the most important problems in zirconology of dunites: the probability of the formation and preservation of zircon in the course of the formation and evolution of dunite. 相似文献
The specific heat capacity (Cp) of six variably hydrated (~3.5 wt% H2O) iron-bearing Etna trachybasaltic glasses and liquids has been measured using differential scanning calorimetry from room temperature across the glass transition region. These data are compared to heat capacity measurements on thirteen melt compositions in the iron-free anorthite (An)–diopside (Di) system over a similar range of H2O contents. These data extend considerably the published Cp measurements for hydrous melts and glasses. The results for the Etna trachybasalts show nonlinear variations in, both, the heat capacity of the glass at the onset of the glass transition (i.e., Cpg) and the fully relaxed liquid (i.e., Cpl) with increasing H2O content. Similarly, the “configurational heat capacity” (i.e., Cpc = Cpl ? Cpg) varies nonlinearly with H2O content. The An–Di hydrous compositions investigated show similar trends, with Cp values varying as a function of melt composition and H2O content. The results show that values in hydrous Cpg, Cpl and Cpc in the depolymerized glasses and liquids are substantially different from those observed for more polymerized hydrous albitic, leucogranitic, trachytic and phonolitic multicomponent compositions previously investigated. Polymerized melts have lower Cpl and Cpc and higher Cpg with respect to more depolymerized compositions. The covariation between Cp values and the degree of polymerization in glasses and melts is well described in terms of SMhydrous and NBO/Thydrous. Values of Cpc increase sharply with increasing depolymerization up to SMhydrous ~ 30–35 mol% (NBO/Thydrous ~ 0.5) and then stabilize to an almost constant value. The partial molar heat capacity of H2O for both glasses (\( C_{{{\text{p}}\;{\text{H}}_{2} {\text{O}}}}^{\text{g}} \)) and liquids (\( C_{{{\text{p}}\;{\text{H}}_{2} {\text{O}}}}^{\text{l}} \)) appears to be independent of composition and, assuming ideal mixing, we obtain a value for \( C_{{{\text{p}}\;{\text{H}}_{2} {\text{O}}}}^{\text{l}} \) of 79 J mol?1 K?1. However, we note that a range of values for \( C_{{{\text{p}}\;{\text{H}}_{2} {\text{O}}}}^{\text{l}} \) (i.e., ~78–87 J mol?1 K?1) proposed by previous workers will reproduce the extended data to within experimental uncertainty. Our analysis suggests that more data are required in order to ascribe a compositional dependence (i.e., nonideal mixing) to \( C_{{{\text{p}}\;{\text{H}}_{2} {\text{O}}}}^{\text{l}} \). 相似文献
Magnetic photo-Fenton catalysts based on spinel CuFe2O4 were successfully prepared by the starch-assisted sol–gel method. Various synthetic conditions such as annealing temperatures (700, 800 and 900 °C) and molar ratios of Cu2+/Fe3+/C6H10O5 in the precursor solution (from 1:2:2 to 1:2:4) were, respectively, used in order to study the influences of annealing temperatures and precursor starch contents on the magnetic and catalytic properties of CuFe2O4 powders. The photo-Fenton catalytic activity was evaluated via the degradation of methylene blue under ultraviolet and visible irradiation with H2C2O4 as a new oxidizing agent. According to the results, when the annealing temperature increased to 800 °C, the spinel CuFe2O4 phase amount was increased, which strongly enhances the photo-Fenton catalytic performance. However, above 800 °C, the catalytic activity was reduced, due to the increase in particle size. The starch content also affected the surface Cu2+ content and the particle size of catalysts. The catalyst prepared at 800 °C with the molar Cu2+/Fe3+/C6H10O5 ratio of 1:2:3 presented the best photo-Fenton performance, owing to its highest surface Cu2+ content. This catalyst also exhibits ferromagnetic properties (saturation magnetization of 25.836 emu/g and coercivity of 1010.23 Oe), which allows them to be easily separated from the solution by a magnet. 相似文献
To examine the effect of KCl-bearing fluids on the melting behavior of the Earth’s mantle, we conducted experiments in the
Mg2SiO4–MgSiO3–H2O and Mg2SiO4–MgSiO3–KCl–H2O systems at 5 GPa. In the Mg2SiO4–MgSiO3–H2O system, the temperature of the fluid-saturated solidus is bracketed between 1,200–1,250°C, and both forsterite and enstatite
coexist with the liquid under supersolidus conditions. In the Mg2SiO4–MgSiO3–KCl–H2O systems with molar Cl/(Cl + H2O) ratios of 0.2, 0.4, and 0.6, the temperatures of the fluid-saturated solidus are bracketed between 1,400–1,450°C, 1,550–1,600°C,
and 1,600–1,650°C, respectively, and only forsterite coexists with liquid under supersolidus conditions. This increase in
the temperature of the solidus demonstrates the significant effect of KCl on reducing the activity of H2O in the fluid in the Mg2SiO4–MgSiO3–H2O system. The change in the melting residues indicates that the incongruent melting of enstatite (enstatite = forsterite + silica-rich
melt) could extend to pressures above 5 GPa in KCl-bearing systems, in contrast to the behavior in the KCl-free system. 相似文献
Reactions and partial melting of peraluminous rocks in the presence of H2O-CO2–salt fluids under parameters of granulite-facies metamorphism were modeled in experiments on interaction between orthopyroxene–cordierite–biotite–plagioclase–quartz metapelite with H2O, H2O-CO2, H2O-CO2-NaCl, and H2O-CO2-KCl fluids at 600 MPa and 850°C. Rock melting in the presence of H2O and equimolar H2O-CO2 fluids generates peraluminous (A/CNK1 > 1.1) melts whose composition corresponds to magnesian calcic or calc–alkaline S-type granitoids. The melts are associated with peritectic phases: magnesian spinel and orthopyroxene containing up to 9 wt % Al2O3. In the presence of H2O-CO2-NaCl fluid, cordierite and orthopyroxene are replaced by the association of K-Na biotite, Na-bearing gedrite, spinel, and albite. The Na2O concentrations in the biotite and gedrite are functions of the NaCl concentrations in the starting fluid. Fluids of the composition H2O-CO2-KCl induce cordierite replacement by biotite with corundum and spinel and by these phases in association with potassium feldspar at XKCl = 0.02 in the fluid. When replaced by these phases, cordierite is excluded from the melting reactions, and the overall melting of the metapelite is controlled by peritectic reactions of biotite and orthopyroxene with plagioclase and quartz. These reactions produce such minerals atypical of metapelites as Ca-Na amphibole and clinopyroxene. The compositions of melts derived in the presence of salt-bearing fluids are shifted toward the region with A/CNK < 1.1, as is typical of so-called peraluminous granites of type I. An increase in the concentrations of salts in the fluids leads to depletion of the melts in Al2O3 and CaO and enrichment in alkalis. These relations suggest that the protoliths of I-type peraluminous granites might have been metapelites that were melted when interacting with H2O-CO2-salt fluids. The compositions of the melts can evolve from those with A/CNK > 1.1 (typical of S-type granites) toward those with A/CNK = 1.0–1.1 in response to an increase in the concentrations of alkali salts in the fluids within a few mole percent. Our experiments demonstrate that the origin of new mineral assemblages in metapelite in equilibrium with H2O-CO2-salt fluids is controlled by the activities of alkaline components, while the H2O and CO2 activities play subordinate roles. This conclusion is consistent with the results obtained by simulating metapelite mineral assemblages by Gibbs free energy minimization (using the PERPE_X software), as shown in log(\({a_{{H_2}O}}\))–log(\({a_{N{a_2}O}}\)) and log(\({a_{{H_2}O}}\))–log(\({a_{{K_2}O}}\)) diagrams. 相似文献
Thaumasite, Ca3Si(OH)6(CO3)(SO4)12H2O, occurs as a low-temperature secondary alteration phase in mafic igneous and metamorphic rocks, and is recognized as a product and indicator of sulfate attack in Portland cement. It is also the only mineral known to contain silicon in six-coordination with hydroxyl (OH)? that is stable at ambient P–T conditions. Thermal expansion of the various components of this unusual structure has been determined from single-crystal X-ray structure refinements of natural thaumasite at 130 and 298 K. No phase transitions were observed over this temperature range. Cell parameters at room temperature are: a= 11.0538(6) Å, c=10.4111(8) Å and V=1101.67(10) Å3, and were measured at intervals of about 50 K between 130 and 298 K, resulting in mean axial and volumetric coefficients of thermal expansion (×10?5K?1); αa=1.7(1), αc=2.1(2), and αV=5.6(2). Although the unit cell and VIIICaO8 polyhedra show significant positive thermal expansion over this temperature range, the silicate octahedron, sulfate tetrahedron, and carbonate group show zero or negative thermal expansion, with αV(VISiO6) = ?0.6 ± 1.1, αV(IVSO4)=?5.8 ± 1.4, and αR(C–O)= 0.0 ± 1.8 (×10?5 K?1). Most of the thermal expansion is accommodated by lengthening of the R(O...O) hydrogen bond distances by on average 5σ, although the hydrogen bonds involving hydroxyl sites on VISi expand twice as much as those on molecular water, causing the [Ca3Si(OH)6(H2O)12]4+ columns to expand in diameter more than they move apart over this temperature range. The average Si–OH bond length of the six-coordinated Si atom 〈R(VISi–OH)〉 in thaumasite is 1.783(1) Å, being about 0.02 Å (?20σ) shorter than VISi–OH in the dense hydrous magnesium silicate, phase D, MgSi2H2O6. 相似文献
A new pyroxene with formula (Na0.86Mg0.14)(Mg0.57Ti0.43)Si2O6, synthesized in a high-pressure toroidal ‘anvil-with-hole’ apparatus at P = 7 GPa and T = 1700 °C, was characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The compound was found to be monoclinic (R1 = 2.56 %), space group C2/c, with lattice parameters a = 9.687(2), b = 8.814(1), c = 5.290(1) Å, β = 107.853(2)°, V = 430.08(1) Å3. The coexistence of Mg and Ti4+ at the M1 site does not induce strong modifications either to the M1 site or to the adjacent M2 site. The Raman spectrum of synthetic Na–Ti-pyroxene was obtained for the first time and compared with that of Mg2Si2O6 (with very low concentrations of Na and Ti). The structural characterization of the Na–Ti–Mg-pyroxene is important, because the study of its thermodynamic constants provides new constraints on thermobarometry of the upper mantle assemblages. 相似文献
Iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) are the two most common redox-active elements in the Earth’s crust and are well known to influence mineral formation and dissolution, trace metal sequestration, and contaminant transformations in soils and sediments. Here, we characterized the reaction of aqueous Fe(II) with pyrolusite (β-MnO2) using electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, aqueous Fe and Mn analyses, and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy. We reacted pyrolusite solids repeatedly with 3 mM Fe(II) at pH 7.5 to evaluate whether electron transfer occurs and to track the evolving reactivity of the Mn/Fe solids. We used Fe isotopes (56 and 57) in conjunction with 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy to isolate oxidation of Fe(II) by Fe(III) precipitates or pyrolusite. Using these complementary techniques, we determined that Fe(II) is initially oxidized by pyrolusite and that lepidocrocite is the dominant Fe oxidation product. Additional Fe(II) exposures result in an increasing proportion of magnetite on the pyrolusite surface. Over a series of nine 3 mM Fe(II) additions, Fe(II) continued to be oxidized by the Mn/Fe particles suggesting that Mn/Fe phases are not fully passivated and remain redox active even after extensive surface coverage by Fe(III) oxides. Interestingly, the initial Fe(III) oxide precipitates became further reduced as Fe(II) was added and additional Mn was released into solution suggesting that both the Fe oxide coating and underlying Mn phase continue to participate in redox reactions when freshly exposed to Fe(II). Our findings indicate that Fe and Mn chemistry is influenced by sustained reactions of Fe(II) with Mn/Fe oxides.
Phase equilibria in the system CaO–MgO–SiO2–CO2–H2O–NaCl are calculated to illustrate phase relations in metacarbonates over a wide-range of P–T–X[H2O–CO2–NaCl] conditions. Calculations are performed using the equation of state of Duan et al. (Geochim Cosmochim Acta 59:2869–2882, 1995) for H2O–CO2–NaCl fluids and the internally consistent data set of Gottschalk (Eur J Mineral 9:175–223, 1997) for thermodynamic properties of solids. Results are presented in isothermal-isobarical plots showing stable mineral assemblages as a function of fluid composition. It is shown that in contact-metamorphic P–T regimes the presence of very small concentrations of NaCl in the fluid causes almost all decarbonation reactions to proceed within the two fluid solvus of the H2O–CO2–NaCl system. Substantial flow of magma-derived fluids into marbles has been documented for many contact aureoles by shifts in stable isotope geochemistry of the host rocks and by the progress of volatile-producing mineral reactions controlled by fluid compositions. Time-integrated fluid fluxes have been estimated by combining fluid advection/dispersion models with the spatial arrangement of mineral reactions and isotopic resetting. All existing models assume that minerals react in the presence of a single phase H2O–CO2 fluid and do not allow for the effect that fluid immiscibility has on the flow patterns. It is shown that fluids emanating from calc-alkaline melts that crystallize at shallow depths are brines. Their salinity may vary depending mainly on pressure and fraction of crystallized melt. Infiltration-driven decarbonation reactions in the host rocks inevitably proceed at the boundaries of the two fluid solvus where the produced CO2 is immiscible and may separate from the brine as a low salinity, low density H2O–CO2 fluid. Most parameters of fluid–rock interaction in contact aureoles that are derived from progress of mineral reactions and stable isotope resetting are probably incorrect because fluid phase separation is disregarded. 相似文献
The solubility of chromium in chlorite as a function of pressure, temperature, and bulk composition was investigated in the system Cr2O3–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O, and its effect on phase relations evaluated. Three different compositions with XCr = Cr/(Cr + Al) = 0.075, 0.25, and 0.5 respectively, were investigated at 1.5–6.5 GPa, 650–900 °C. Cr-chlorite only occurs in the bulk composition with XCr = 0.075; otherwise, spinel and garnet are the major aluminous phases. In the experiments, Cr-chlorite coexists with enstatite up to 3.5 GPa, 800–850 °C, and with forsterite, pyrope, and spinel at higher pressure. At P > 5 GPa other hydrates occur: a Cr-bearing phase-HAPY (Mg2.2Al1.5Cr0.1Si1.1O6(OH)2) is stable in assemblage with pyrope, forsterite, and spinel; Mg-sursassite coexists at 6.0 GPa, 650 °C with forsterite and spinel and a new Cr-bearing phase, named 11.5 Å phase (Mg:Al:Si = 6.3:1.2:2.4) after the first diffraction peak observed in high-resolution X-ray diffraction pattern. Cr affects the stability of chlorite by shifting its breakdown reactions toward higher temperature, but Cr solubility at high pressure is reduced compared with the solubility observed in low-pressure occurrences in hydrothermal environments. Chromium partitions generally according to \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{spinel}}\) ? \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{opx}}\) > \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{chlorite}}\) ≥ \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{HAPY}}\) > \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{garnet}}\). At 5 GPa, 750 °C (bulk with XCr = 0.075) equilibrium values are \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{spinel}}\) = 0.27, \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{chlorite}}\) = 0.08, \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{garnet}}\) = 0.05; at 5.4 GPa, 720 °C \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{spinel}}\) = 0.33, \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{HAPY}}\) = 0.06, and \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{garnet}}\) = 0.04; and at 3.5 GPa, 850 °C \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{opx}}\) = 0.12 and \(X_{\text{Cr}}^{\text{chlorite}}\) = 0.07. Results on Cr–Al partitioning between spinel and garnet suggest that at low temperature the spinel- to garnet-peridotite transition has a negative slope of 0.5 GPa/100 °C. The formation of phase-HAPY, in assemblage with garnet and spinel, at pressures above chlorite breakdown, provides a viable mechanism to promote H2O transport in metasomatized ultramafic mélanges of subduction channels. 相似文献
