Vapor pressures and evaporation coefficients for melts of ferromagnesian chondrule-like compositions     

A.V. Fedkin  L. Grossman  M.S. Ghiorso 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2006,70(1):206-223

To determine evaporation coefficients for the major gaseous species that evaporate from silicate melts, the Hertz-Knudsen equation was used to model the compositions of residues of chondrule analogs produced by evaporation in vacuum by Hashimoto [Hashimoto A. (1983) Evaporation metamorphism in the early solar nebula-evaporation experiments on the melt FeO-MgO-SiO₂-CaO-Al₂O₃ and chemical fractionations of primitive materials. Geochem. J. 17, 111-145] and Wang et al. [Wang J., Davis A. M., Clayton R. N., Mayeda T. K., Hashimoto A. (2001) Chemical and isotopic fractionation during the evaporation of the FeO-MgO-SiO₂-CaO-Al₂O₃-TiO₂ rare earth element melt system. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 65, 479-494], in vacuum and in H₂ by Yu et al. [Yu Y., Hewins R. H., Alexander C. M. O’D., Wang J. (2003) Experimental study of evaporation and isotopic mass fractionation of potassium in silicate melts. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 67, 773-786], and in H₂ by Cohen et al. [Cohen B. A., Hewins R. H., Alexander C. M. O’D. (2004) The formation of chondrules by open-system melting of nebular condensates. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 68, 1661-1675]. Vapor pressures were calculated using the thermodynamic model of Ghiorso and Sack [Ghiorso M. S., Sack R. O. (1995) Chemical mass transfer in magmatic processes IV. A revised and internally consistent thermodynamic model for the interpolation and extrapolation of liquid-solid equilibria in magmatic systems at elevated temperatures and pressures. Contrib. Mineral. Petrol. 119, 197-212], except for the late, FeO-free stages of the Wang et al. (2001) and Cohen et al. (2004) experiments, where the CMAS activity model of Berman [Berman R. G. (1983) A thermodynamic model for multicomponent melts, with application to the system CaO-MgO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂. Ph.D. thesis, University of British Columbia] was used. From these vapor pressures, evaporation coefficients (α) were obtained that give the best fits to the time variation of the residue compositions. Evaporation coefficients derived for Fe_(g), Mg_(g), and SiO_(g) from the Hashimoto (1983) experiments are similar to those found by Alexander [Alexander C. M. O’D. (2004) Erratum. Meteoritics Planet. Sci. 39, 163] in his EQR treatment of the same data and also adequately describe the FeO-bearing stages of the Wang et al. (2001) experiments. From the Yu et al. (2003) experiments at 1723 K, α_Na = 0.26 ± 0.05, and α_K = 0.13 ± 0.02 in vacuum, and α_Na = 0.042 ± 0.020, andα_K = 0.017 ± 0.002 in 9 × 10⁻⁵ bar H₂. In the FeO-free stages of the Wang et al. (2001) experiments, α_Mg and α_SiO are significantly different from their respective values in the FeO-bearing portions of the same experiments and from the vacuum values obtained at the same temperature by Richter [Richter F. M., Davis A. M., Ebel D. S., Hashimoto A. (2002) Elemental and isotopic fractionation of Type B calcium-, aluminum-rich inclusions: experiments, theoretical considerations, and constraints on their thermal evolution. Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta 66, 521-540] for CMAS compositions much lower in MgO. When corrected for temperature, the values of α_Mg and α_SiO that best describe the FeO-free stages of the Wang et al. (2001) experiments also adequately describe the FeO-free stage of the Cohen et al. (2004) H₂ experiments, but α_Fe that best describes the FeO-bearing stage of the latter experiment differs significantly from the temperature-corrected value derived from the Hashimoto (1983) vacuum data.  相似文献   

Layered mantle structure beneath the western Guyana Shield, Venezuela: Evidence from diamonds and xenocrysts in Guaniamo kimberlites     

Daniel J. Schulze  Dante Canil  Felix V. Kaminsky 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2006,70(1):192-205

Mantle xenoliths and xenocrysts from Guaniamo, Venezuela kimberlites record equilibration conditions corresponding to a limited range of sampling in the lithosphere (100-150 km). Within this small range, however, compositions vary considerably, but regularly, defining a strongly layered mantle sequence. Major and trace element compositions suggest the following lithologic sequence: highly depleted lherzolite from 100 to 115 km, mixed ultra-depleted harzburgite and lherzolite from 115 to 120 km, relatively fertile lherzolite from 120 to 135 km, and mixed depleted harzburgite and relatively fertile lherzolite from 135 to 150 km. Based on comparison with well-documented mantle peridotites and xenocrysts from elsewhere, we conclude that the Meso-proterozoic Cuchivero Province (host to the Guaniamo kimberlites) is underlain by depleted and ultra-depleted shallow Archean mantle that was underplated, and uplifted, by Proterozoic subduction, perhaps more than once. These Proterozoic subduction events introduced less-depleted oceanic lithosphere beneath the Archean section, which remains there and is the source of the abundant Guaniamo eclogite-suite diamonds that have ocean-floor geochemical signatures. Although diamond-indicative low-Ca Cr-pyrope garnets are abundant, they are derived primarily from the shallow depleted layer within the field of graphite stability, and the rare peridotite-suite diamonds are either metastably preserved at these shallow depths, or were derived from the small amount of depleted lithosphere sampled by these kimberlites that remains within the diamond stability field (the mixture of Archean and Proterozoic mantle in the depth range 135-150 km).  相似文献   

The impact of vegetation on REE fractionation in stream waters of a small forested catchment (the Strengbach case)     

P. Stille  M. Steinmann  F. Gauthier-Lafaye  D. Viville  V. Matera  D. Aubert 《Geochimica et cosmochimica acta》2006,70(13):3217-3230

Previous studies on waters of a streamlet in the Vosges Mountains (Eastern France) have shown that strontium and rare earth elements (REE) mainly originate from preferential dissolution of apatite during weathering. However, stream water REE patterns normalized to apatite are still depleted in the light REE (LREE, La-Sm) pointing to the presence of an additional LREE depleting process. Vegetation samples are strongly enriched in LREE compared to stream water and their Sr and Nd isotopic compositions are comparable with those of apatite and stream water. Thus, the preferential LREE uptake by vegetation might lead to an additional LREE depletion of surface runoff in the forested catchment. Mass balance calculations indicate, that the yearly LREE uptake by vegetation is comparable with the LREE export by the streamlet and, therefore, might be an important factor controlling LREE depletion in river water. This is underlined by the observation that rivers from arctic and boreal regions with sparse vegetation appear to be less depleted in LREE than rivers from tropical environments or boreal environments with a dense vegetation cover.  相似文献   

Visualization experiments of iron precipitates: Application for in-situ arsenic remediation     

M.I.M. Darwish  V.M. van Beek  J. Bruining 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》2006,88(1-3):19

Laboratory experiments were carried out to acquire more insight and understanding of the phenomena associated with the in-situ arsenic remediation. Visualization techniques are the most informative for the detection of Fe(II) while flowing in soils. Green Rust (GR) was considered as representative of in-situ iron precipitates. In a visualization flat cell, the change in color of GR to orange, due to oxidation, was monitored by a digital camera and the images were analyzed giving the spatial and temporal distribution of Fe(II). Moreover, both oxygen and pH changes in time were recorded in two sections along the flow direction in the cell. The measured and calculated concentration profiles were compared and the actual reaction rates were predicted. The reaction rate constants measured in this study, under flowing conditions, are in a good agreement with the values obtained from batch experiments reported in the literature.  相似文献   

Environmental impact of the former Pb–Zn mining and smelting in East Belgium     

V. Cappuyns  R. Swennen  A. Vandamme  M. Niclaes 《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》2006,88(1-3):6

In the mining district of Plombières-La Calamine (East Belgium), extensive Pb–Zn mining activities resulted in an important contamination of overbank sediments along the Geul river. Moreover, a huge amount of heavy metals is stored in a dredged mine pond tailing, which is located along the river. In the dredged mine pond tailing sediments, Pb–Zn minerals control the solubility of Zn, Pb and Cd. Although Pb, Zn and Cd display a lower solubility in overbank sediments compared to the mine tailing pond sediments, elevated concentrations of Pb, Zn and Cd are still found in the porewater of the overbank sediments. The considerable ‘actual’ and ‘potential’ mobility of Zn, Pb and Cd indicates that the mine pond tailing sediments and the overbank sediments downstream from the mine pond tailing represent a considerable threat for the environment. Besides the chemical remobilisation of metals from the sediments, the erosion of overbank sediments and the reworking of riverbed sediments act as a secondary source of pollution.  相似文献   

Holocene record of productivity in the NW Iberian continental shelf     

V. Alves Martins  C. Patinha  E. Ferreira da Silva  J.-M. Jouanneau  O. Weber  F. Rocha   《Journal of Geochemical Exploration》2006,88(1-3):408

A multiproxy approach (textural characteristics, heavy metal concentrations and benthic foraminifera data) was adopted to study the OMEX core KSGX 40, collected at the Galicia Mud Deposit (NW Iberian outer continental shelf) and recording the last ca. 4.8 ka cal BP. Geochemical profiles of Fe, Mn, Zn, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Al and Ca show significant temporal variations. Benthic foraminifera productivity proxy suggests that the recorded muddy events were contemporaneous of a higher C_org flux to the marine benthic environment. The higher flux of organic matter, following a long-term intensification of the upwelling and coinciding with a finer sedimentation, led to depressed levels of oxygen beneath the water-sediments interface and to early diagenetic processes of several redox-sensitive elements.  相似文献
