A thermobarometer for sphene (titanite) 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Leslie A. Hayden E. Bruce Watson David A. Wark 《Contributions to Mineralogy and Petrology》2008,155(4):529-540
Sphene and zircon are common accessory minerals in metamorphic and igneous rocks of very different composition from many different
geological environments. Their essential structural constituents, Ti and Zr, are capable of replacing each other to some degree.
In this paper we detail the results of high pressure–temperature experiments as well as analyses of natural sphene crystals
that establish a systematic relationship between temperature, pressure and Zr concentration in sphene. Calibrations of the
temperature and pressure relationships are presented as a thermobarometer. Synthetic sphene crystals were crystallized in
the presence of zircon, quartz and rutile at 1–2.4 GPa and 800–1,000°C from hydrothermal solutions. Crystals were analyzed
for Zr by electron microprobe (EMP). The experimental results define a log-linear relationship between equilibrium Zr content
(ppm by weight), pressure (GPa) and reciprocal absolute temperature:
The incorporation of Zr into sphene was found to be rather sensitive to pressure effects and also to the effects of kinetic
disequilibrium and growth entrapment that result in sector zoning. The Zr content of sphene is relatively insensitive to the
presence of both REEs and F-Al substitutions in sphene. To supplement and test the experimental data, sphenes from seven rocks
of well-constrained origin were analyzed for Zr by both EMP and ion microprobe (IMP). The sphene thermobarometer records crystallization
temperatures that are consistent with independent thermometry. When applied to natural sphene of unknown origin or growth
conditions, this thermobarometer has the potential to estimate temperatures with an approximate uncertainty of ±20°C over
the temperature range of interest (600–1,000°C). The Zr-in-sphene thermobarometer can also be used in conjunction with the
Zr-in-rutile thermobarometer to estimate both pressure and temperature of crystallization.

TitaniQ: a titanium-in-quartz geothermometer 总被引:21,自引:10,他引:11
Titanium is one of many trace elements to substitute for silicon in the mineral quartz. Here, we describe the temperature dependence of that substitution, in the form of a new geothermometer. To calibrate the “TitaniQ” thermometer, we synthesized quartz in the presence of rutile and either aqueous fluid or hydrous silicate melt, at temperatures ranging from 600 to 1,000°C, at 1.0 GPa. The Ti contents of quartz (in ppm by weight) from 13 experiments increase exponentially with reciprocal T as described by:
Application of this thermometer is straightforward, typically requiring analysis of only one phase (quartz). This can be accomplished either by EPMA for crystallization temperatures above 600°C, or by SIMS for temperatures down to at least 400°. Resulting temperature estimates are very precise (usually better than ±5°C), potentially allowing detailed characterization of thermal histories within individual quartz grains. Although calibrated for quartz crystallized in the presence of rutile, the thermometer can also be applied to rutile-absent systems if TiO2 activity is constrained. 相似文献

Temperature dependence of Zr in rutile: empirical calibration of a rutile thermometer 总被引:11,自引:3,他引:8
Rutile is an important carrier of high field strength elements (HFSE; Zr, Nb, Mo, Sn, Sb, Hf, Ta, W). Its Zr content is buffered in systems with quartz and zircon as coexisting phases. The effects of temperature (T) and pressure (P) on the Zr content in rutile have been empirically calibrated in this study by analysing rutile–quartz–zircon assemblages of 31 metamorphic rocks spanning a T range from 430 to 1,100°C. Electron microprobe measurements show that Zr concentrations in rutile vary from 30 to 8,400 ppm across this temperature interval, correlating closely with metamorphic grade. The following thermometer has been formulated based on the maximum Zr contents of rutile included in garnet and pyroxene:
No pressure dependence was observed. An uncertainty in absolute T of ±50°C is inherited from T estimates of the natural samples used. A close approach to equilibrium of Zr distribution between zircon and rutile is suggested based on the high degree of reproducability of Zr contents in rutiles from different rock types from the same locality. At a given locality, the calculated range in T is mostly ±10°C, indicating the geological and analytical precision of the rutile thermometer. Possible applications of this new geothermometer are discussed covering the fields of ultrahigh temperature (UHT) granulites, sedimentary provenance studies and metamorphic field gradients. 相似文献

Rutile solubility and mobility in supercritical aqueous fluids 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Experimental and thermodynamic data and the apparent immobility of Ti under metamorphic conditions suggest that rutile is very insoluble in aqueous fluids at upper crustal conditions. New solubility measurements at 1.0–2.93 GPa and 800–1200°C show, however, that under certain pressure and temperature conditions rutile is quite soluble in H2O. Solubilities were estimated from the measured weight loss of a single crystal equilibrated with a known mass of fluid in a piston cylinder apparatus. Measured solubilities in H2O range from 0.15 wt% (wt loss crystal/wt fluid) at 2.93 GPa and 1000°C to 1.9% at 1.0 GPa and 1100°C. Solubility increases with increasing temperature and with decreasing pressure in a manner given by the following fit to the experimental data:

The electrical conductivity of upper-mantle rocks: water content in the upper mantle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The electrical conductivity of upper-mantle rocks—dunite, pyroxenite, and lherzolite—was measured at ∼2–3 GPa and ∼1,273–1,573 K
using impedance spectra within a frequency range of 0.1–106 Hz. The oxygen fugacity was controlled by a Mo–MoO2 solid buffer. The results indicate that the electrical conductivity of lherzolite and pyroxenite are approximately half and
one order of magnitude higher than that of dunite, respectively. A preliminary model involving water and iron content effects
on the electrical conductivity was derived and is summarized by the relation:

New thermodynamic models and revised calibrations for the Ti-in-zircon and Zr-in-rutile thermometers 总被引:75,自引:22,他引:53
The models recognize that ZrSiO4, ZrTiO4, and TiSiO4, but not ZrO2 or TiO2, are independently variable phase components in zircon. Accordingly, the equilibrium controlling the Zr content of rutile
coexisting with zircon is ZrSiO4 = ZrO2 (in rutile) + SiO2. The equilibrium controlling the Ti content of zircon is either ZrSiO4 + TiO2 = ZrTiO4 + SiO2 or TiO2 + SiO2 = TiSiO4, depending whether Ti substitutes for Si or Zr. The Zr content of rutile thus depends on the activity of SiO2
as well as T, and the Ti content of zircon depends on and as well as T. New and published experimental data confirm the predicted increase in the Zr content of rutile with decreasing and unequivocally demonstrate that the Ti content of zircon increases with decreasing . The substitution of Ti in zircon therefore is primarily for Si. Assuming a constant effect of P, unit and that and are proportional to ppm Zr in rutile and ppm Ti in zircon, [log(ppm Zr-in-rutile) + log] = A1 + B1/T(K) and [log(ppm Ti-in-zircon) + log − log] = A2 + B2/T, where the A and B are constants. The constants were derived from published and new data from experiments with buffered by either quartz or zircon + zirconia, from experiments with defined by the Zr content of rutile, and from well-characterized natural samples. Results are A1 = 7.420 ± 0.105; B1 = −4,530 ± 111; A2 = 5.711 ± 0.072; B2 = −4,800 ± 86 with activity referenced to α-quartz and rutile at P and T of interest. The zircon thermometer may now be applied to rocks without quartz and/or rutile, and the rutile thermometer
applied to rocks without quartz, provided that and are estimated. Maximum uncertainties introduced to zircon and rutile thermometry by unconstrained and can be quantitatively assessed and are ≈60 to 70°C at 750°C. A preliminary assessment of the dependence of the two thermometers
on P predicts that an uncertainty of ±1 GPa introduces an additional uncertainty at 750°C of ≈50°C for the Ti-in-zircon thermometer
and of ≈70 to 80°C for the Zr-in-rutile thermometer. 相似文献

In order to evaluate the effect of trace and minor elements (e.g., P, Y, and the REEs) on the high-temperature solubility of Ti in zircon (zrc), we conducted 31 experiments on a series of synthetic and natural granitic compositions [enriched in TiO2 and ZrO2; Al/(Na + K) molar ~1.2] at a pressure of 10 kbar and temperatures of ~1,400 to 1,200 °C. Thirty of the experiments produced zircon-saturated glasses, of which 22 are also saturated in rutile (rt). In seven experiments, quenched glasses coexist with quartz (qtz). SiO2 contents of the quenched liquids range from 68.5 to 82.3 wt% (volatile free), and water concentrations are 0.4–7.0 wt%. TiO2 contents of the rutile-saturated quenched melts are positively correlated with run temperature. Glass ZrO2 concentrations (0.2–1.2 wt%; volatile free) also show a broad positive correlation with run temperature and, at a given T, are strongly correlated with the parameter (Na + K + 2Ca)/(Si·Al) (all in cation fractions). Mole fraction of ZrO2 in rutile $ \left( {\mathop X\nolimits_{{{\text{ZrO}}_{ 2} }}^{\text{rt}} } \right) $ in the quartz-saturated runs coupled with other 10-kbar qtz-saturated experimental data from the literature (total temperature range of ~1,400 to 675 °C) yields the following temperature-dependent expression: $ {\text{ln}}\left( {\mathop X\nolimits_{{{\text{ZrO}}_{ 2} }}^{\text{rt}} } \right) + {\text{ln}}\left( {a_{{{\text{SiO}}_{2} }} } \right) = 2.638(149) - 9969(190)/T({\text{K}}) $ , where silica activity $ a_{{{\text{SiO}}_{2} }} $ in either the coexisting silica polymorph or a silica-undersaturated melt is referenced to α-quartz at the P and T of each experiment and the best-fit coefficients and their uncertainties (values in parentheses) reflect uncertainties in T and $ \mathop X\nolimits_{{{\text{ZrO}}_{2} }}^{\text{rt}} $ . NanoSIMS measurements of Ti in zircon overgrowths in the experiments yield values of ~100 to 800 ppm; Ti concentrations in zircon are positively correlated with temperature. Coupled with values for $ a_{{{\text{SiO}}_{2} }} $ and $ a_{{{\text{TiO}}_{2} }} $ for each experiment, zircon Ti concentrations (ppm) can be related to temperature over the range of ~1,400 to 1,200 °C by the expression: $ \ln \left( {\text{Ti ppm}} \right)^{\text{zrc}} + \ln \left( {a_{{{\text{SiO}}_{2} }} } \right) - \ln \left( {a_{{{\text{TiO}}_{2} }} } \right) = 13.84\left( {71} \right) - 12590\left( {1124} \right)/T\left( {\text{K}} \right) $ . After accounting for differences in $ a_{{{\text{SiO}}_{2} }} $ and $ a_{{{\text{TiO}}_{2} }} $ , Ti contents of zircon from experiments run with bulk compositions based on the natural granite overlap with the concentrations measured on zircon from experiments using the synthetic bulk compositions. Coupled with data from the literature, this suggests that at T ≥ 1,100 °C, natural levels of minor and trace elements in “granitic” melts do not appear to influence the solubility of Ti in zircon. Whether this is true at magmatic temperatures of crustal hydrous silica-rich liquids (e.g., 800–700 °C) remains to be demonstrated. Finally, measured $ D_{\text{Ti}}^{{{\text{zrc}}/{\text{melt}}}} $ values (calculated on a weight basis) from the experiments presented here are 0.007–0.01, relatively independent of temperature, and broadly consistent with values determined from natural zircon and silica-rich glass pairs. 相似文献

Li diffusion in zircon 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
Diffusion of Li under anhydrous conditions at 1 atm and under fluid-present elevated pressure (1.0–1.2 GPa) conditions has
been measured in natural zircon. The source of diffusant for 1-atm experiments was ground natural spodumene, which was sealed
under vacuum in silica glass capsules with polished slabs of zircon. An experiment using a Dy-bearing source was also conducted
to evaluate possible rate-limiting effects on Li diffusion of slow-diffusing REE+3 that might provide charge balance. Diffusion experiments performed in the presence of H2O–CO2 fluid were run in a piston–cylinder apparatus, using a source consisting of a powdered mixture of spodumene, quartz and zircon
with oxalic acid added to produce H2O–CO2 fluid. Nuclear reaction analysis (NRA) with the resonant nuclear reaction 7Li(p,γ)8Be was used to measure diffusion profiles for the experiments. The following Arrhenius parameters were obtained for Li diffusion
normal to the c-axis over the temperature range 703–1.151°C at 1 atm for experiments run with the spodumene source:
