Abstract: | The theory of sublattice solid solution model and optimization methods have been described for modelling the geochemically important multicomponentmultisite silicate solid solution systems. Some new X-ray Mg-Fe2+ site occupancy data along with some selection from the existing data on heated orthopyroxene in the temperature range 600 to 1000° C have been used in thermodynamic modelling of the orthopyroxene (Mg, Fe)2Si2O6 solid solution using the sublattice solution model. The optimized interaction energy solution parameters are:
