The H₂O content of wadsleyite were measured in a wide pressure (13–20 GPa) and temperature range (1,200–1,900°C) using FTIR method. We confirmed significant decrease of the H₂O content of wadsleyite with increasing temperature and reported first systematic data for temperature interval of 1,400–1,900°C. Wadsleyite contains 0.37–0.55 wt% H₂O at 1,600°C, which may be close to its water storage capacity along average mantle geotherm in the transition zone. Accordingly, water storage capacity of the average mantle in the transition zone may be estimated as 0.2–0.3 wt% H₂O. The H₂O contents of wadsleyite at 1,800–1,900°C are 0.22–0.39 wt%, indicating that it can store significant amount of water even under the hot mantle environments. Temperature dependence of the H₂O content of wadsleyite can be described by exponential equation C_{\textH2 \textO} = 6 3 7.0 7 \texte ^{- 0.00 4 8T} , C_{{{\text{H}}_{2} {\text{O}}}} = 6 3 7.0 7 {\text{e}}^{ - 0.00 4 8T} , where T is in °C. This equation is valid for temperature range 1,200–2,100°C with the coefficient of determination R ² = 0.954. Temperature dependence of H₂O partition coefficient between wadsleyite and forsterite (D _wd/fo) is complex. According to our data apparent D_wd/fo decreases with increasing temperature from D _wd/fo = 4–5 at 1,200°C, reaches a minimum of D _wd/fo = 2.0 at 1,400–1,500°C, and then again increases to D _wd/fo = 4–6 at 1,700–1,900°C.  相似文献

Electrical conductivity measurement of gneiss under mid- to lower crustal P–T conditions

We conducted electrical conductivity measurements perpendicular and parallel to mineral foliation in dry gneiss at up to 1000 K and a constant pressure of 1 GPa. The analyzed gneisses were obtained from the Higo metamorphic belt, Kyushu, Japan. As the metamorphic conditions of these rocks have been well determined by previous studies, we were able to select samples that were representative of the middle to lower crust. Prior to the conductivity measurements, the samples were maintained at the maximum temperature for a long period, until the electrical conductivity had stabilized. Our experiment results reveal linear and reproducible conductivity data between temperatures of 600 and 1000 K. Conductivity measured perpendicular and parallel to foliation differ by an order of magnitude over the same temperature window. A plausible explanation for this discrepancy in conductivity is the contrasting configuration of minerals in the two sample orientations, as observed by backscattered electron image (BEI) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA). We evaluated the conductivity and computed activation energy for each of the samples and compared the results with those of previous studies; our results are consistent with the conductivity values reported for other types of rocks. We also compared the experiment results with data derived from electromagnetic (EM) soundings. Electrical conductivity measurements undertaken perpendicular to foliation can account for the subsurface conductivity structure beneath central Kyushu, Japan.  相似文献   

Pressure dependence of electrical conductivity of (Mg,Fe)SiO<Subscript>3</Subscript> ilmenite     

Tomoo Katsura  Sho Yokoshi  Kazuyuki Kawabe  Anton Shatskiy  Maki Okube  Hiroshi Fukui  Eiji Ito  Akifumi Nozawa  Ken-ichi Funakoshi 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2007,34(4):249-255

The electrical conductivity of (Mg_0.93Fe_0.07)SiO₃ ilmenite was measured at temperatures of 500–1,200 K and pressures of 25–35 GPa in a Kawai-type multi-anvil apparatus equipped with sintered diamond anvils. In order to verify the reliability of this study, the electrical conductivity of (Mg_0.93Fe_0.07)SiO₃ perovskite was also measured at temperatures of 500–1,400 K and pressures of 30–35 GPa. The pressure calibration was carried out using in situ X-ray diffraction of MgO as pressure marker. The oxidation conditions of the samples were controlled by the Fe disk. The activation energy at zero pressure and activation volume for ilmenite are 0.82(6) eV and −1.5(2) cm³/mol, respectively. Those for perovskite were 0.5(1) eV and −0.4(4) cm³/mol, respectively, which are in agreement with the experimental results reported previously. It is concluded that ilmenite conductivity has a large pressure dependence in the investigated P–T range.  相似文献

Melting of portlandite up to 6 GPa     

H. Fukui  O. Ohtaka  T. Nagai  T. Katsura  K. Funakoshi  W. Utsumi 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2000,27(6):367-370

 Using the high-pressure differential thermal analysis (HP-DTA) system in a cubic multianvil high-pressure apparatus, we measured the melting points of portlandite, Ca(OH)₂, up to 6 GPa and 1000 °C. We detected endothermic behavior at the temperature and pressure conditions of 800 °C and 2.5 GPa, 769 °C and 3.5 GPa, 752 °C and 4.0 GPa, 686 °C and 5.0 GPa, and 596 °C and 6.0 GPa, respectively, due to melting of portlandite. By in situ X-ray studies under pressure, the melting of portlandite was observed at 730 °C and 4.32 GPa and at 640 °C and 5.81 GPa, respectively. Results of both HP-DTA and X-ray studies were consistent within experimental error. The melting is congruent and has a negative Clapeyron slope, indicating that liquid Ca(OH)₂ has higher densities than crystalline portlandite in this pressure range.

Recycled crustal melt injection into lithospheric mantle: implication from cumulative composite and pyroxenite xenoliths   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3  

Hong-Fu Zhang  Eizo Nakamura  Katsura Kobayashi  Ji-Feng Ying  Yan-Jie Tang 《International Journal of Earth Sciences》2010,99(6):1167-1186

A rare composite xenolith and abundant cumulative pyroxenites obtained from the Mesozoic Fangcheng basalts on the eastern North China Craton record a complex history of melt percolation and circulation in the subcontinental lithospheric mantle. The composite xenolith has a dunite core and an olivine clinopyroxenite rim. The dunite is of cumulative origin and has a granular recrystallized texture and extremely low Mg# [100 Mg/(Mg + Fe) = 81–82] contents in olivines. The olivine clinopyroxenite contains larger clinopyroxene and/or orthopyroxene with a few fine-grained olivine and tiny phlogopite, feldspar, and/or carbonate minerals interstitial to clinopyroxene. The clinopyroxene has low Mg# (83–85). Compositional similarity between dunitic olivine and pyroxenitic one indicates a sequential crystallization of dunite and pyroxenite from a precursor melt. Pyroxenite xenoliths include olivine websterites and clinopyroxenites, both are of cumulative origin. Estimation of the melt from major oxides in olivines and REE concentrations in clinopyroxenes in these composite and pyroxenite xenoliths suggests a derivation from subducted crustal materials, consistent with the highly enriched EMII-like Sr and Nd isotopic ratios observed in the pyroxenites. Occurrence of phlogopite, feldspar and carbonate minerals in some xenoliths requires the melt rich in alkalis (K, Na), silica and volatiles (water and CO₂) at the latest stage as well, similar to highly silicic and potassic melts. Thus, the occurrence of these composite and pyroxenite xenoliths provides an evidence for voluminous injection of recycled crustal melts into the lithosphere beneath the southeastern North China Craton at the Late Mesozoic, a reason for the rapid lithospheric enrichment in both elemental and isotopic compositions.  相似文献
