The chalcogenes (S, Se, Te), semimetals (As, Sb) and the metal Bi are important ligands for noble metals and form a wide range of compositionally diverse minerals with the platinum-group elements (PGE). With the exception of S, few experimental data exist to quantify the behavior of these elements in magmatic sulfide systems. Here we report experimental partition coefficients for Se, Te, As, Sb, and Bi between monosulfide solid solution (mss) and sulfide melt, determined at 950 °C at a range of sulfur fugacities (fS2) bracketed by the Fe-FeS (metal-troilite) and the Fe1−×S-Sx (mss-sulfur) equilibria. Selenium is shown to partition in mss-saturated sulfide melt as an anion replacing S2−. Arsenic changes its oxidation state with fS2 from predominantly anionic speciation at low fS2, to cationic speciation at high fS2. The elements Sb, Te, and Bi are so highly incompatible with mss that they can only be present in sulfide melt as cations and/or as neutral metallic species. The partition coefficients derived fall with increasing atomic radius of the element. They also reflect the positions of the respective elements in the Periodic Table: within a group (e.g., As, Sb, Bi) the partition coefficients fall with increasing atomic radius, and within a period the elements of the 15th group are more incompatible with mss than the neighboring elements of the 16th group.  相似文献

The adsorption of hydrogen sulfide (ΓH2S) and protons (ΓH+) on the surface of crystalline sulfur was investigated experimentally in H2S-bearing solutions at temperatures of 25, 50, and 70°C, NaCl concentrations of 0.1 and 0.5 mol/dm−3 and log CH+ values in the range −2.3 to −5. At all temperatures, the dominant process on the surface of the sulfur was deprotonation, and the average values of ΓH2S were very close to the highest values determined for ΓH+. This finding, combined with the lack of detectable proton adsorption in H2S-free solutions, suggests that proton adsorption/desorption on the surface of sulfur occurs through formation of ≡ S − H2S complexes in the presence of H2S.We propose that this complexation represents sulfidation of the sulfur surface, a process analogous to hydroxylation of oxide surfaces, and that the sulfidation can be described by the reaction: ≡ S + H2S = ≡SSH20 β° The deprotonation of the ≡ SH° complex occurs via the reaction: ≡ SSH20 = ≡SSH− + H+ β− Values of 2.9, 2.8, and 2.9 (± 0.23) were obtained for −log β− at 25, 50, and 70°C, respectively. These data were employed to estimate the second dissociation constant for hydrogen sulfide in aqueous solutions using the extrapolation method proposed by Schoonen and Barnes (1988) and yielded corresponding values for the constant of 17.4 ± 0.3, 15.7, and 14.5, respectively. The value for 25°C is in very good agreement with the experimentally determined values of Giggenbach (1971) at 17 ± 0.1; Meyer et al. (1983) at 17 ± 1; Licht and Manassen (1987) at 17.6 ± 0.3; and Licht et al. (1990) at 17.1 ± 0.3.  相似文献

Here we present the first set of metal-silicate partitioning data for Cs, which we use to examine whether the primitive mantle depletion of Cs can be attributed to core segregation. Our experiments independently varied pressure from 5 to 15 GPa, temperature from 1900 to 2400 °C, metallic sulfur content from pure Fe to pure FeS, silicate melt polymerization, expressed as a ratio of non-bridging oxygens to tetrahedrally coordinated cations (nbo/t) from 1.26 to 3.1, and fO2 from two to four log units below the iron-wüstite buffer. The most important controls on the partitioning behavior of alkalis were the metallic sulfur content, expressed as XS, and the nbo/t of the silicate liquid. Normalization of XS to 0.5 yielded the following expressions for D-values as a function of nbo/t: log DNa = −2.0 + 0.44 × (nbo/t), log DK = −2.4 + 0.67 × ( nbo/t), and log DCs = −3.2 + 1.17 × (nbo/t). Normalization of nbo/t to 2.7 resulted in the following equations for D-values as a function of S content: log DNa = −4.1 + 6.4 × XS, log DK = −7.7 + 13.9 × XS, and log DCs = −12.1 + 23.3 × XS.There appears to be a negative pressure effect up to 15 GPa, but it should be noted that this trend was not present before normalization, and is based on only two measurements. There is a positive trend in cesium’s metal-silicate partition coefficient with increasing temperature. DCs exhibits the largest change and increased by a factor of three over 500 °C. The effect of oxygen fugacity has not been precisely determined but in general, lowering fO2 by two log units resulted in a rise in all D-values of approximately an order of magnitude. In general, the sensitivity of partition coefficients to changing parameters increased with atomic number.The highest D-value for Cs observed in this study is 0.345, which was obtained at nbo/t of 2.7 and a metal phase of pure FeS. This metallic composition has far more S than has been suggested for any credible core-forming metal. We therefore conclude that the depletion of Cs in Earth’s mantle is either caused by radically different behavior of Cs at pressures higher than 15 GPa or is not related to core formation. Even so, we have shown that a planet with a sufficient S inventory may incorporate significant amounts of alkali elements into its core.  相似文献

Activity coefficients of oxide components in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CMAS) were calculated with the model of Berman (Berman R. G., “A thermodynamic model for multicomponent melts with application to the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2,” Ph.D. dissertation, University of British Columbia, 1983) and used to explore large-scale relationships among these variables and between them and the liquid composition. On the basis of Berman’s model, the natural logarithm of the activity coefficient of MgO, ln(γMgOLiq), and ln(γMgOLiq/γSiO2Liq) are nearly linear functions of ln(γCaOLiq). All three of these variables are simple functions of the optical basicity Λ with which they display minima near Λ ∼ 0.54 that are generated by liquids with low ratios of nonbridging to tetrahedral oxygens (NBO/T) (<0.3) and a mole fraction ratio, XSiO2Liq/XAl2O3Liq, in the range 4 to 20. Variations in ln(γCaOLiq) at constant Λ near the minimum are due mostly to liquids with (XCaOLiq + XMgOLiq)/XAl2O3Liq < 1. The correlations with optical basicity imply that the electron donor power is an important factor in determining the thermodynamic properties of aluminosilicate liquids.For a constant NBO/T, ln(γCaOLiq/γAl2O3Liq) and ln(γMgOLiqγAl2O3Liq) form curves in terms of XSiO2Liq/XAl2O3Liq. The same liquids that generate minima in the Λ plots are also associated with minima in ln(γCaOLiqγAl2O3Liq) and ln(γMgOLiqγAl2O3Liq) as a function of XSiO2Liq/XAl2O3Liq. In addition, there are maxima or sharp changes in slope for NBO/T > 0.3, which occur for XSiO2Liq/XAl2O3Liq ranging from ∼0 to ∼6 and increase with increasing NBO/T. The systematic variations in activity coefficients as a function of composition and optical basicity reflect underlying shifts in speciation as the composition of the liquid is changed. On the basis of correlations among the activity coefficients, it is likely that the use of CaO, an exchange component such as SiMg−1 and two of MgO, CaAl2O4, or MgAl2O4 would yield significant savings in the number of parameters required to model the excess free energy surface of liquids over large portions of CMAS relative to the use of oxide end members.Systematic behavior of thermodynamic properties extends to small amounts of other elements dissolved in otherwise CMAS liquids. For example, ln(XFe2+Liq/XFe3+Liq) at constant oxygen fugacity is linearly correlated with ln(γCaOLiq). Similarly, ln(CS), where CS is the sulfide capacity is linearly correlated at constant temperature with each of the optical basicity, ln(aCaOLiq) and ln(γCaOLiq), although the correlation for the latter breaks down for low values of Λ. The well-known systematic behavior of sulfide capacity as a function of optical basicity for systems inside as well as outside CMAS suggests that ln(γCaSLiq) is also a simple function of optical basicity and that the relationships observed among the activity coefficients in CMAS may hold for more complex systems.  相似文献

We have performed experiments to constrain the effect of sulfur fugacity (fS2) and sulfide saturation on the fractionation and partitioning behavior of Pt, Pd and Au in a silicate melt–sulfide crystal/melt–oxide–supercritical aqueous fluid phase–Pt–Pd–Au system. Experiments were performed at 800 °C, 150 MPa, with oxygen fugacity (fO2) fixed at approximately the nickel–nickel oxide buffer (NNO). Sulfur fugacity in the experiments was varied five orders of magnitude from approximately log fS2 = 0 to log fS2 = −5 by using two different sulfide phase assemblages. Assemblage one consisted initially of chalcopyrite plus pyrrhotite and assemblage two was loaded with chalcopyrite plus bornite. At run conditions pyrrhotite transformed compositionally to monosulfide solid solution (mss), chalcopyrite to intermediate solid solution (iss), and in assemblage two chalcopyrite and bornite formed a sulfide melt. Run-product silicate glass (i.e., quenched silicate melt) and crystalline materials were analyzed by using both electron probe microanalysis and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. The measured concentrations of Pt, Pd and Au in quenched silicate melt in runs with log fS2 values ranging from approximately 0.0 to −5.0 do not exhibit any apparent dependence on fS2. The measured Pt, Pd and Au concentrations in mss do vary as a function of fS2. The measured Pt, Pd and Au concentrations in iss do not appear dependent on fS2. The data suggest that fS2, working in concert with fO2, via the determinant role that these variables play in controlling the magmatic sulfide phase assemblage and the solubility of Pt, Pd and Au as lattice bound components in magmatic sulfide phases, is a controlling factor on the budgets of Pt, Pd and Au during the evolution of magmatic systems.  相似文献

The compatibility of vanadium (V) during mantle melting is a function of oxygen fugacity (fO2): at high fO2’s, V becomes more incompatible. The prospects and limitations of using the V content of peridotites as a proxy for paleo-fO2 at the time of melt extraction were investigated here by assessing the uncertainties in V measurements and the sensitivity of V as a function of degree of melt extracted and fO2. V-MgO and V-Al2O3 systematics were found to be sensitive to fO2 variations, but consideration of the uncertainties in measurements and model parameters indicates that V is sensitive only to relative fO2 differences greater than ∼2 log units. Post-Archean oceanic mantle peridotites, as represented by abyssal peridotites and obducted massif peridotites, have V-MgO and -Al2O3 systematics that can be modeled by 1.5 GPa melting between FMQ − 3 and FMQ − 1. This is consistent with fO2’s of the mantle source for mid-ocean ridge basalts (MORBs) as determined by the Fe3+ activity of peridotitic minerals and basaltic glasses. Some arc-related peridotites have slightly lower V for a given degree of melting than oceanic mantle peridotites, and can be modeled by 1.5 GPa melting at fO2’s as high as FMQ. However, the majority of arc-related peridotites have V-MgO systematics overlapping that of oceanic mantle peridotites, suggesting that although some arc mantle may melt under slightly oxidizing conditions, most arc mantle does not. The fact that thermobarometrically determined fO2’s in arc peridotites and lavas can be significantly higher than that inferred from V systematics, suggests that V retains a record of the fO2 during partial melting, whereas the activity of Fe3+ in arc peridotitic minerals and lavas reflect subsequent metasomatic overprints and magmatic differentiation/emplacement processes, respectively.Peridotites associated with middle to late Archean cratonic mantle are characterized by highly variable V-MgO systematics. Tanzanian cratonic peridotites have V systematics indistinguishable from post-Archean oceanic mantle and can be modeled by 3 GPa partial melting at ∼FMQ − 3. In contrast, many South African and Siberian cratonic peridotites have much lower V contents for a given degree of melting, suggesting at first glance that partial melting occurred at high fO2’s. More likely, however, their unusually low V contents for a given degree of melting may be artifacts of excess orthopyroxene, a feature that pervades many South African and Siberian peridotites but not the Tanzanian peridotites. This is indicated by the fact that the V contents of South African and Siberian peridotites are correlated with increases in SiO2 content, generating data arrays that cannot be modeled by partial melting but can instead be generated by the addition of orthopyroxene through processes unrelated to primary melt depletion. Correction for orthopyroxene addition suggests that the South African and Siberian peridotites have V-MgO systematics similar to those of Tanzanian peridotites. Thus, if the Tanzanian peridotites represent the original partial melting residues, and if the South African and Siberian peridotites have been modified by orthopyroxene addition, then there is no indication that Archean cratonic mantle formed under fO2’s significantly greater than that of modern oceanic mantle. Instead, the fO2’s inferred from the V systematics in these three cratonic peridotite suites are within range of modern oceanic mantle. This also suggests that the transition from a highly reducing mantle in equilibrium with a metallic core to the present oxidized state must have occurred by late Archean times.  相似文献

XANES analyses at the sulfur K-edge were used to determine the oxidation state of S species in natural and synthetic basaltic glasses and to constrain the fO2 conditions for the transition from sulfide (S2−) to sulfate (S6+) in silicate melts. XANES spectra of basaltic samples from the Galapagos spreading center, the Juan de Fuca ridge and the Lau Basin showed a dominant broad peak at 2476.8 eV, similar to the spectra obtained from synthetic sulfide-saturated basalts and pyrrhotite. An additional sharp peak at 2469.8 eV, similar to that of crystalline sulfides, was present in synthetic glasses quenched from hydrous melts but absent in anhydrous glasses and may indicate differences in sulfide species with hydration or presence of minute sulfide inclusions exsolved during quenching. The XANES spectra of a basalt from the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, Philippines, and absarokitic basalts from the Cascades Range, Oregon, USA, showed a sharp peak at 2482.8 eV, characteristic of synthetic sulfate-saturated basaltic glasses and crystalline sulfate-bearing minerals such as hauyne. Basaltic samples from the Lamont Seamount, the early submarine phase of Kilauea volcano and the Loihi Seamount showed unequivocal evidence of the coexistence of S2− and S6+ species, emphasizing the relevance of S6+ to these systems. XANES spectra of basaltic glasses synthesized in internally-heated pressure vessels and equilibrated at fO2 ranging from FMQ − 1.4 to FMQ + 2.7 showed systematic changes in the features related to S2− and S6+ with changes in fO2. No significant features related to sulfite (S4+) species were observed. These results were used to construct a function that allows estimates of S6+/ΣS from XANES data. Comparison of S6+/ΣS data obtained by S Kα shifts measured with electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), S6+/ΣS obtained from XANES spectra, and theoretical considerations show that data obtained from EPMA measurements underestimate S6+/ΣS in samples that are sulfate-dominated (most likely because of photo-reduction effects during analysis) whereas S6+/ΣS from XANES provide a close match to the expected theoretical values. The XANES-derived relationship for S6+/ΣS as a function of fO2 indicates that the transition from S2− to S6− with increasing fO2 occurs over a narrower interval than what is predicted by the EPMA-derived relationship. The implications for natural systems is that small variation of fO2 above FMQ + 1 will have a large effect on S behavior in basaltic systems, in particular regarding the amount of S that can be transported by basaltic melts before sulfide saturation can occur.  相似文献

Sulfur K-edge X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) spectra were recorded for experimental glasses of various compositions prepared at different oxygen fugacities (fO2) in one-atmosphere gas-mixing experiments at 1400 °C. This sample preparation method only results in measurable S concentrations under either relatively reduced (log fO2 < −9) or oxidised (log fO2 > −2) conditions. The XANES spectra of the reduced samples are characterised by an absorption edge crest at 2476.4 eV, typical of S2−. In addition, spectra of Fe-bearing compositions exhibit a pronounced absorption edge shoulder. Spectra for all the Fe-free samples are essentially identical, as are the spectra for the Fe-bearing compositions, despite significant compositional variability within each group. The presence of a sulfide phase, such as might exsolve on cooling, can be inferred from a pre-edge feature at 2470.5 eV.The XANES spectra of the oxidised samples are characterised by an intense transition at 2482.1 eV, typical of the sulfate anion SO42−. Sulfite (SO32−) has negligible solubility in silicate melts at low pressures. The previous identification of sulfite species in natural glass samples is attributed to an artefact of the analysis (photoreduction of S6+). S4+ does, however, occur unambiguously with S6+ in Fe-free and Fe-poor compositions prepared in equilibrium with CaSO4 at 4-16 kbar, and when buffered with Re/ReO2 at 10 kbar. Solubility of S4+ thus requires partial pressures of SO2 considerably in excess of 1 bar. A number of experiments were undertaken in an attempt to access intermediate fO2s more applicable to terrestrial volcanism. Although these were largely unsuccessful, S2− and S6+ were found to coexist in some samples that were not in equilibrium with the imposed fO2.The XANES spectra of natural olivine-hosted melt inclusions and submarine glasses representative of basalts at, or close to, sulfide saturation show mainly dissolved S2−, but with minor sulfate, and additionally a peak at 2469.5 eV, which, although presumably due to immiscible sulfide, is 1 eV lower than that typical of FeS. These sulfate and sulfide-related peaks disappear with homogenisation of the inclusions by heating to 1200 °C followed by rapid quenching, suggesting that both these features are a result of cooling under natural conditions. The presence of small amounts of sulfate in otherwise reduced basaltic magmas may be explained by the electron exchange reaction: S2− + 8Fe3+ = S6+ + 8Fe2+, which is expected to proceed strongly to the right with decreasing temperature. This reaction would explain why S2− and S6+ are frequently found together despite the very limited fO2 range over which they are thermodynamically predicted to coexist. The S XANES spectra of water-rich, highly oxidised, basaltic inclusions hosted in olivine from Etna and Stromboli confirm that nearly all S is dissolved as sulfate, explaining their relatively high S contents.  相似文献

Water samples from the Fraser, Skeena and Nass River basins of the Canadian Cordillera were analyzed for dissolved major element concentrations (HCO3−, SO42−, Cl−, Ca2+, Mg2+, K+, Na+), δ13C of dissolved inorganic carbon (δ13CDIC), and δ34S of dissolved sulfate (δ34SSO4) to quantify chemical weathering rates and exchanges of CO2 between the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. Weathering rates of silicates and carbonates were determined from major element mass balance. Combining the major element mass balance with δ34SSO4 (−8.9 to 14.1‰CDT) indicates sulfide oxidation (sulfuric acid production) and subsequent weathering of carbonate and to a lesser degree silicate minerals are important processes in the study area. We determine that on average, 81% of the riverine sulfate can be attributed to sulfide oxidation in the Cordilleran rivers, and that 25% of the total weathering cation flux can be attributed to carbonate and silicate dissolution by sulfuric acid. This result is validated by δ13CDIC values (−9.8 to −3.7‰ VPDB) which represents a mixture of DIC produced by the following weathering pathways: (i) carbonate dissolution by carbonic acid (−8.25‰) > (ii) silicate dissolution by carbonic acid (−17‰) ≈ (iii) carbonate dissolution by sulfuric acid derived from the oxidation of sulfides (coupled sulfide-carbonate weathering) (+0.5‰).δ34SSO4 is negatively correlated with δ13CDIC in the Cordilleran rivers, which further supports the hypothesis that sulfuric acid produced by sulfide oxidation is primarily neutralized by carbonates, and that sulfide-carbonate weathering impacts the δ13CDIC of rivers. The negative correlation between δ34SSO4 and δ13CDIC is not observed in the Ottawa and St. Lawrence River basins. This suggests other factors such as landscape age (governed by tectonic uplift) and bedrock geology are important controls on regional sulfide oxidation rates, and therefore also on the magnitude of sulfide-carbonate weathering—i.e., it is more significant in tectonically active areas.Calculated DIC fluxes due to Ca and Mg silicate weathering by carbonic acid (38.3 × 103 mol C · km−2 · yr−1) are similar in magnitude to DIC fluxes due to sulfide-carbonate weathering (18.5 × 103 mol C · km−2 · yr−1). While Ca and Mg silicate weathering facilitates a transfer of atmospheric CO2 to carbonate rocks, sulfide-carbonate weathering can liberate CO2 from carbonate rocks to the atmosphere when sulfide oxidation exceeds sulfide deposition. This implies that in the Canadian Cordillera, sulfide-carbonate weathering can offset up to 48% of the current CO2 drawdown by silicate weathering in the region.  相似文献

The sodium solubility in silicate melts in the CaO-MgO-SiO2 (CMS) system at 1400 °C has been measured by using a closed thermochemical reactor designed to control alkali metal activity. In this reactor, Na(g) evaporation from a Na2O-xSiO2 melt imposes an alkali metal vapor pressure in equilibrium with the molten silicate samples. Because of equilibrium conditions in the reactor, the activity of sodium-metal oxide in the molten samples is the same as that of the source, i.e., aNa2O(sample) = aNa2O(source). This design also allows to determine the sodium oxide activity coefficient in the samples. Thirty-three different CMS compositions were studied. The results show that the amount of sodium entering from the gas phase (i.e., Na2O solubility) is strongly sensitive to silica content of the melt and, to a lesser extent, the relative amounts of CaO and MgO. Despite the large range of tested melt compositions (0 < CaO and MgO < 40; 40 < SiO2 < 100; in wt%), we found that Na2O solubility is conveniently modeled as a linear function of the optical basicity (Λ) calculated on a Na-free basis melt composition. In our experiments, γNa2O(sample) ranges from 7 × 10−7 to 5 × 10−6, indicating a strongly non-ideal behavior of Na2O solubility in the studied CMS melts (γNa2O(sample) ? 1). In addition to showing the effect of sodium on phase relationships in the CMS system, this Na2O solubility study brings valuable new constraints on how melt structure controls the solubility of Na in the CMS silicate melts. Our results suggest that Na2O addition causes depolymerization of the melt by preferential breaking of Si-O-Si bonds of the most polymerized tetrahedral sites, mainly Q4.  相似文献

We have measured liquid Fe metal-liquid silicate partitioning (Di) of tellurium, selenium, and sulfur over a range of pressure, temperature, and oxygen fugacity (1-19 GPa, 2023-2693 K, fO2 −0.4 to −5.5 log units relative to the iron-wüstite buffer) to better assess the role of metallic melts in fractionating these elements during mantle melting and early Earth evolution. We find that metal-silicate partitioning of all three elements decreases with falling FeO activity in the silicate melt, and that the addition of 5-10 wt% S in the metal phase results in a 3-fold enhancement of both DTe and DSe. In general, Te, Se, and S all become more siderophile with increasing pressure, and less siderophile with increasing temperature, in agreement with previous work. In all sulfur-bearing experiments, DTe is greater than DSe or DS, with the latter two being similar over a range of P and T. Parameterized results are used to estimate metal-silicate partitioning at the base of a magma ocean which deepens as accretion progresses, with the equilibration temperature fixed at the peridotite liquidus. We show that during accretion, Te behaves like a highly siderophile element, with expected core/mantle partitioning of >105, in contrast to the observed core/mantle ratio of ∼100. Less extreme differences are observed for Se and S, which yielded core/mantle partitioning 100- to 10 times higher, respectively, than the observed value. Addition of ∼0.5 wt% of a meteorite component (H, EH or EL ordinary chondrite) is sufficient to raise mantle abundances to their current level and erase the original interelement fractionation of metal-silicate equilibrium.  相似文献

We report data from a series of dynamic crystallization experiments that focus on determining the partition coefficients (D’s) for V and Ti in the spinel + liquid system of an average type B1 CAI bulk composition for three different fO2 conditions. Partitioning data for Ca and Si are also obtained. We show that the D’s for V and Ti are fO2 dependent with DTi decreasing at low oxygen fugacity due to the presence of Ti3+. DV is essentially 0 in air, rises to 2.2 at the Fe-FeO buffer and drops to 1.4 at the C-CO buffer. This indicates that V3+ is highly compatible in spinel and that higher and lower valence states are much less compatible. We also report data from isothermal experiments that determine diffusion times for V and Ti in same system at a temperature close to the Tmax for type B1 CAIs. Diffusion of these elements between spinel and liquid is surprisingly rapid, with essentially total equilibration of Ti and V between spinel and liquid in 90 h run duration. Lack of equilibration of Cr, Si, and Ca shows that the Ti and V equilibration mechanism was diffusion and not dissolution and reprecipitation. Our experimental run durations set an upper limit of a few tens of hours on the time that type B1 CAIs were at their maximum temperature. Based on our data we argue that subsolidus reequilibration between spinel inclusion and host-silicate phases within type B CAIs likely explains the observed range of V and Ti concentrations in spinels which are inclusions in clinopyroxene.  相似文献

The energetics of multicomponent diffusion in molten CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 (CAS) were examined experimentally at 1440 to 1650°C and 0.5 to 2 GPa. Two melt compositions were investigated: a haplodacitic melt (25 wt.% CaO, 15% Al2O3, and 60% SiO2) and a haplobasaltic melt (35% CaO, 20% Al2O3, and 45% SiO2). Diffusion matrices were measured in a mass-fixed frame of reference with simple oxides as end-member components and Al2O3 as a dependent variable. Chemical diffusion in molten CAS shows clear evidence of diffusive coupling among the components. The diffusive flux of SiO2 is significantly enhanced whenever there is a large CaO gradient that is oriented in a direction opposite to the SiO2 gradient. This coupling effect is more pronounced in the haplodacitic melt and is likely to be significant in natural magmas of rhyolitic to andesitic compositions. The relative magnitude of coupled chemical diffusion is not very sensitive to changes in temperature and pressure.To a good approximation, the measured diffusion matrices follow well-defined Arrhenius relationships with pressure and reciprocal temperature. Typically, a change in temperature of 100°C results in a relative change in the elements of diffusion matrix of 50 to 100%, whereas a change in pressure of 1 GPa introduces a relative change in elements of diffusion matrix of 4 to 6% for the haplobasalt, and less than 5% for the haplodacite. At a pressure of 1 GPa, the ratios between the major and minor eigenvalues of the diffusion matrix λ1/λ2 are not very sensitive to temperature variations, with an average of 5.5 ± 0.2 for the haplobasalt and 3.7 ± 0.6 for the haplodacite. The activation energies for the major and minor eigenvalues of the diffusion matrix are 215 ± 12 and 240 ± 21 kJ mol−1, respectively, for the haplodacite and 192 ± 8 and 217 ± 14 kJ mol−1 for the haplobasalt. These values are comparable to the activation energies for self-diffusion of calcium and silicon at the same melt compositions and pressure. At a fixed temperature of 1500°C, the ratios λ1/λ2 increase with the increase of pressure, with λ1/λ2 varying from 2.5 to 4.1 (0.5 to 1.3 GPa) for the haplodacite and 4 to 6.5 (0.5 to 2.0 GPa) for the haplobasalt. The activation volumes for the major and minor eigenvalues of the diffusion matrix are 0.31 ± 0.44 and 2.3 ± 0.8 cm3 mol−1, respectively, for the haplodacite and −1.48 ± 0.18 and −0.42 ± 0.24 cm3 mol−1 for the haplobasalt. These values are quite different from the activation volumes for self-diffusion of calcium and silicon at the same melt compositions and temperature. These differences in activation volumes between the two melts likely result from a difference in the structure and thermodynamic properties of the melt between the two compositions (e.g., partial molar volume).Applications of the measured diffusion matrices to quartz crystal dissolution in molten CAS reveal that the activation energy and activation volume for quartz dissolution are almost identical to the activation energy and activation volume for diffusion of the minor or slower eigencomponent of the diffusion matrix. This suggests that the diffusion rate of slow eigencomponent is the rate-limiting factor in isothermal crystal dissolution, a conclusion that is likely to be valid for crystal growth and dissolution in natural magmas when diffusion in liquid is the rate-limiting factor.  相似文献

Superliquidus metal-silicate partitioning was investigated for a number of moderately siderophile (Mo, As, Ge, W, P, Ni, Co), slightly siderophile (Zn, Ga, Mn, V, Cr) and refractory lithophile (Nb, Ta) elements. To provide independent constrains on the effects of temperature, oxygen fugacity and silicate melt composition, isobaric (3 GPa) experiments were conducted in piston cylinder apparatus at temperature between 1600 and 2600 °C, relative oxygen fugacities of IW−1.5 to IW−3.5, and for silicate melt compositions ranging from basalt to peridotite. The effect of pressure was investigated through a combination of piston cylinder and multi-anvil isothermal experiments between 0.5 and 18 GPa at 1900 °C. Oxidation states of siderophile elements in the silicate melt as well as effect of carbon saturation on partitioning are also derived from these results. For some elements (e.g. Ga, Ge, W, V, Zn) the observed temperature dependence does not define trends parallel to those modeled using metal-metal oxide free energy data. We correct partitioning data for solute interactions in the metallic liquid and provide a parameterization utilized in extrapolating these results to the P-T-X conditions proposed by various core formation models. A single-stage core formation model reproduces the mantle abundances of several siderophile elements (Ni, Co, Cr, Mn, Mo, W, Zn) for core-mantle equilibration at pressures from 32 to 42 GPa along the solidus of a deep peridotitic magma ocean (∼3000 K for this pressure range) and oxygen fugacities relevant to the FeO content of the present-day mantle. However, these P-T-fO2 conditions cannot produce the observed concentrations of Ga, Ge, V, Nb, As and P. For more reducing conditions, the P-T solution domain for single stage core formation occurs at subsolidus conditions and still cannot account for the abundances of Ge, Nb and P. Continuous core formation at the base of a magma ocean at P-T conditions constrained by the peridotite liquidus and fixed fO2 yields concentrations matching observed values for Ni, Co, Cr, Zn, Mn and W but underestimates the core/mantle partitioning observed for other elements, notably V, which can be reconciled if accretion began under reducing conditions with progressive oxidation to fO2 conditions consistent with the current concentration of FeO in the mantle as proposed by Wade and Wood (2005). However, neither oxygen fugacity path is capable of accounting for the depletions of Ga and Ge in the Earth’s mantle. To better understand core formation, we need further tests integrating the currently poorly-known effects of light elements and more complex conditions of accretion and differentiation such as giant impacts and incomplete equilibration.  相似文献

Experiments have been carried out to determine the temperature, oxygen fugacity (fO2) and compositional dependence of the tracer diffusion coefficient (D) of calcium in olivine. These data constrain the diffusion coefficient over the temperature range 900 to 1500°C for the three principal crystallographic axes. Well constrained linear relationships between the reciprocal of the absolute temperature and log(D) exist at any given oxygen fugacity. There is a strong dependence of the diffusion coefficient on oxygen fugacity with D ∝ fO2(1/3). This makes a knowledge of the T-fO2 path followed by geological samples a prerequisite for modelling Ca diffusion in olivine. The best fitting preexponential factor (Do) and activation energy (E) to the Arrhenius equation log (D) = log [Do exp(−E/RT)] + 0.31Δ log fO2 for Ca diffusion in olivine at a given oxygen fugacity (fO2*) are given by:diffusion along [100]: log [Do (m2/s)] = −10.78 ± 0.43; E = 193 ± 11 kJ/moldiffusion along [010]: log [Do (m2/s)] = −10.46 ± 0.37; E = 201 ± 10 kJ/moldiffusion along [001]: log [Do (m2/s)] = −10.02 ± 0.29; E = 207 ± 8 kJ/molwhere Δ log fO2 = log[fO2*] − log[10−12] with fO2* in units of bars. There is no measurable compositional dependence of the diffusion coefficient between Fo83 and Fo92. Diffusion in Fo100 has a much higher activation energy than in Fe-bearing olivine and has a weaker fO2 dependence.  相似文献

 Diffusion rates for sulfur in rhyolite melt have been measured at temperatures of 800–1100° C, water contents of 0–7.3 wt%, and oxygen fugacities from the quartz-fayalite-magnetite buffer to air. Experiments involved dissolution of anhydrite or pyrrhotite into rhyolite melt over time scales of hours to days. Electron microprobe analysis was used to measure sulfur concentration profiles in the quenched glasses. Regression of the diffusion data in dry rhyolite melt gives Dsulfur=0.05·exp{−221±80RT}, which is one to two orders of magnitude slower than diffusion of other common magmatic volatiles such as H2O, CO2 and Cl-. Diffusion of sulfur in melt with 7 wt% dissolved water is 1.5 to 2 orders of magnitude faster than diffusion in the anhydrous melt, depending on temperature. Sulfur is known to dissolve in silicate melts as at least two different species, S2− and S6+, the proportions of which vary with oxygen fugacity; despite this, oxygen fugacity does not appear to affect sulfur diffusivity except under extremely oxidizing conditions. This result suggests that diffusion of sulfur is controlled by one species over a large range in oxygen fugacity. The most likely candidate for the diffusing species is the sulfide ion, S2−. Re-equilibration between S2− and S6+ in oxidized melts must generally be slow compared to S2− diffusion in order to explain the observed results. In a silicic melt undergoing degassing, sulfur will tend to be fractionated from other volatile species which diffuse more rapidly. This is consistent with analyses of tephra from the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo, Philippines, and from other high-silica volcanic eruptions.

Pyrite is an environmentally significant mineral being the major contributor to acid rock drainage. Synchrotron based SPEM (scanning photoelectron microscopy) and micro-XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy) have been used to characterise fresh and oxidised pyrite (FeS2) with a view to understanding the initial oxidation steps that take place during natural weathering processes. Localised regions of the pyrite surface containing Fe species of reduced coordination have been found to play a critical role. Such sites not only initiate the oxidation process but also facilitate the formation of highly reactive hydroxyl radical species, which then lead the S oxidation process.Four different S species are found to be present on fresh fractured pyrite surfaces: S22−(bulk) (4-fold coordination), S22−(surface) (3-fold coordination), S2− and S0/Sn2− (metal deficient sulfide and polysulfide respectively). These species were found to be heterogeneously distributed on the fractured pyrite surface. Both O2 and H2O gases are needed for effective oxidation of the pyrite surface. The process is initiated when O2 dissociatively and H2O molecularly adsorb onto the surface Fe sites where high dangling bond densities exist. H2O may then dissociate to produce OH radicals. The adsorption of these species leads to the formation of Fe-oxy species prior to the formation of sulfoxy species. Evidence suggests that Fe-O bonds form prior to Fe-OH bonds. S oxidation occurs through interactions of OH radicals formed at the Fe sites, with formation of SO42− occurring via S2O32−/SO32− intermediates. The pyrite oxidation process is electrochemical in nature and was found to occur in patches, where site specific adsorption of O2 and H2O has occurred. Fe and S oxidation was found to occur within the same area of oxidation probably in atomic scale proximity. Furthermore, the O in SO42− arises largely from H2O; however, depending on the surface history, SO42− formed early in the oxidation process may also contain O from O2.  相似文献

The diffusion profile method has been employed to measure tin diffusion coefficients and SnO2 solubility in water-saturated, peralkaline to peraluminous haplogranitic melts at 850°C, 2 kbar, and log ƒO2 conditions ranging from FMQ - 0.57 to FMQ + 3.49. At reduced conditions cassiterite is highly soluble and tin is present dominantly as a Sn2+ species, whereas at oxidized conditions SnO2 is much less soluble, and tin is present dominantly as a Sn4+ species. There is a strong melt composition control on SnO2 solubility; solubilities are at a minimum at the subaluminous composition, increase strongly with alkali content in peralkaline compositions and weakly with Al content in peraluminous compositions. In the case of the latter, this increase can only be distinguished at reduced conditions, e.g., at a log ƒO2 of FMQ - 0.57 cassiterite solubility increases from 2.78 to 4.11 wt% SnO2 for melt with Al/(Na + K)compositions (A.S.I.) of 1.0 and 1.2, respectively. At oxidized conditions SnO2 solubility is 500 ppm for both the A.S.I. 1.0 and 1.2 compositions. By comparison Sn02 solubilities in the most peralkaline composition investigated range from 3.94 wt% to -10 wt% Sn02, for the most oxidized to the most reduced conditions, respectively. Thermodynamic modelling of the data indicates that the Sn4+/ΣSn ratio in the melt is also at a minimum at the subaluminous composition, ranging from 0.4 at log ƒO2 of FMQ + 3.49 to 0.01 at FMQ - 0.57. Over the same log foZ range the Sn4+/ΣSn ratio for the A.S.I. 0.6 composition ranges from 0.98 to 0.4 and for the A.S.I. 1.25 composition, from 0.8 to 0.02.Tin diffusivity is dependent on both fO2 and melt composition. The effective binary diffusion coefficient of tin at reduced conditions is approximately 10−7.5 cm2/sec for the peraluminous compositions and 10−8.2 cm2/sec for the peralkaline compositions. At oxidized conditions these values decrease to approximately 10−8.2 and 10−9.0 cm2/sec, respectively. These are interpreted to reflect relatively fast diffusion where Sn2+ is the dominant valence and tin in this case behaves similar to a network modifier and relatively slow diffusion where Sn4+ is dominant and tin likely has a lower coordination number. Alternatively, the coordination of Sn2+ and Sn4+ is the same, but the bond strengths are different. At fixed fO2 the faster diffusivity in the peraluminous compositions reflects the lower Sn4+/Sn2+ ratio. The fact the Sn4+/Sn2+ ratio in melts varies greatly with ƒO2 at redox conditions near FMQ suggests that the partitioning behaviour of tin possibly changes during the evolution of an igneous suite in general and of a peraluminous granite suite in particular.  相似文献

Yavapaiite, KFe(SO4)2, is a rare mineral in nature, but its structure is considered as a reference for many synthetic compounds in the alum supergroup. Several authors mention the formation of yavapaiite by heating potassium jarosite above ca. 400°C. To understand the thermal decomposition of jarosite, thermodynamic data for phases in the K-Fe-S-O-(H) system, including yavapaiite, are needed. A synthetic sample of yavapaiite was characterized in this work by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermal analysis. Based on X-ray diffraction pattern refinement, the unit cell dimensions for this sample were found to be a = 8.152 ± 0.001 Å, b = 5.151 ± 0.001 Å, c = 7.875 ± 0.001 Å, and β = 94.80°. Thermal decomposition indicates that the final breakdown of the yavapaiite structure takes place at 700°C (first major endothermic peak), but the decomposition starts earlier, around 500°C. The enthalpy of formation from the elements of yavapaiite, KFe(SO4)2, ΔH°f = −2042.8 ± 6.2 kJ/mol, was determined by high-temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry. Using literature data for hematite, corundum, and Fe/Al sulfates, the standard entropy and Gibbs free energy of formation of yavapaiite at 25°C (298 K) were calculated as S°(yavapaiite) = 224.7 ± 2.0 J.mol−1.K−1 and ΔG°f = −1818.8 ± 6.4 kJ/mol. The equilibrium decomposition curve for the reaction jarosite = yavapaiite + Fe2O3 + H2O has been calculated, at pH2O = 1 atm, the phase boundary lies at 219 ± 2°C.  相似文献
