| Abstract: | 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:
