| Abstract: | Water-saturated and water-undersaturated experiments (a
H2
O = 1.0 and 0.5) were performed in the temperature range 780–1040°C at 2 and 5 kbar in order to determine the upper thermal
stability of phlogopite in granitic melts. Starting compositions were: (A) subaluminous mixtures of 20 wt % synthetic phlogopite
and 80 wt % synthetic anhydrous haplogranitic glass; (B) peraluminous mixtures (normative corundum = 4 %) of 20 wt % synthetic
phlogopite and 80 wt % synthetic anhydrous peraluminous haplogranitic glass. The molar quartz: albite: orthoclase ratio of
the glasses of the 2␣kbar runs was 35:39:26 and that of the 5 kbar runs 30:42:28. In the subaluminous system, phlogopite is
stable up to 820°C at a
H2
O = 1.0 and up to 780°C at a
H2
O = 0.5. At higher temperatures, it is replaced by enstatite. In the peraluminous system phlogopite has a remarkably higher
thermal stability (up to 1000°C at 5 kbar and a
H2
O = 1.0) and there is a temperature interval of 80°C at a
H2
O = 1.0, and 90–100°C at a
H2
O = 0.5 between the first appearance of enstatite and the disappearance of phlogopite. In the peraluminous system, phlogopite
is a solid solution (ss) of phlogopite, muscovite, talc and eastonite components. The crystalline product of the phlogopitess breakdown reaction is an aluminous enstatite. The MgO-content of the melt depends on the normative corundum content of the
starting material and the run temperature. It is independent of pressure. In the subaluminous system, the MgO-content ranges
between 0.05 and 0.3 wt % in the temperature interval 780–880°C at both investigated water activities. The MgO-content of
the peraluminous melts at a
H2
O = 1.0 ranges between 0.4 and 1.7 wt % and at a
H2
O = 0.5 between 0.2 and 1.4 wt % in the temperature range 780–980°C.
