Carbonates are potentially significant hosts for primordial and subducted carbon in the Earth's mantle. In addition, the
coexistence of carbonate with silicates and reduced carbon (diamond or graphite), allows constraints to be placed on the oxidation
state of the mantle. Carbonate-silicate-vapor reactions control how carbonate + silicate assemblages may form from carbon-bearing
vapor + silicate assemblages with increasing pressure. In olivine-bearing rocks such as peridotite, considered the dominant
rock type in the upper mantle, the lowest-pressure carbonate-forming reactions involve olivine (±clinopyroxene) reacting with
CO2 (e.g., Wyllie et al. 1983). In eclogitic rocks, the essential mineral assemblage is omphacitic clinopyroxene + garnet, without
olivine. Therefore, alternative carbonate-forming reactions must be sought. The carbonation of clinopyroxene via the reaction
dolomite + 2 coesite = diopside + 2 CO2 was studied experimentally by Luth (1995). The alternative possibility that garnet reacts with CO2 is explored here by determining the location of the reaction 3 magnesite + kyanite + 2 coesite = pyrope + 3 CO2 between 5 and 11 GPa in multi-anvil apparatus. At the temperatures ≥1200 °C, carbonation of eclogitic rocks with increasing
pressure will proceed initially by reaction with clinopyroxene, because the pyrope-carbonation reaction lies at higher pressures
for a given temperature than does the diopside-carbonation reaction. Diluting the pyrope component of garnet and the diopside
component of clinopyroxene to levels appropriate for mantle eclogites does not change this conclusion. At lower temperatures,
appropriate for “cold” slabs, it is possible that the converse situation will hold, with initial carbonation proceeding via
reaction with garnet, but this possibility awaits experimental confirmation. Decarbonation of an eclogite under “normal mantle”
geothermal conditions by a decrease in pressure, as in an ascending limb of a mantle convection cell, would be governed by
the formation of clinopyroxene + CO2. At higher pressure than this reaction, any CO2 produced by the breakdown of magnesite reacting with kyanite and coesite would react with clinopyroxene to produce dolomite + coesite.
Release of CO2 from eclogite into mantle peridotite would form carbonate at sub-solidus conditions and produce a dolomitic carbonate melt
if temperatures are above the peridotite-CO2 solidus.

High-pressure and temperature experiments (28–62 GPa, and 1,490–2,000 K, corresponding to approximately 770–1,500 km depth in the mantle) have been conducted on a MgCO3 + SiO2 mixture using a laser-heated diamond anvil cell combined with analytical transmission electron microscope observation of the product phases to constrain the fate of carbonates carried on the subducting basalt into the lower mantle. At these conditions, the decarbonation reaction MgCO3 (magnesite) + SiO2 (stishovite) → MgSiO3 (perovskite) + CO2 (solid) has been recognized. This indicates that above reaction takes place as a candidate for decarbonation of the carbonated subducting mid ocean ridge basalts in the Earth’s lower mantle. 相似文献

Bowen's petrogenetic grid was based initially on a series of decarbonation reactions in the system CaO-MgO-SiO2-CO2 with starting assemblages including calcite, dolomite, magnesite and quartz, and products including enstatite, forsterite, diopside and wollastonite. We review the positions of 14 decarbonation reactions, experimentally determined or estimated, extending the grid to mantle pressures to evaluate the effect of CO2 on model mantle peridotite composed of forsterite(Fo)+orthopyroxene(Opx)+clinopyroxene(Cpx). Each reaction terminates at an invariant point involving a liquid, CO2, carbonates, and silicates. The fusion curves for the mantle mineral assemblages in the presence of excess CO2 also terminate at these invariant points. The points are connected by a series of reactions involving liquidus relationships among the carbonates and mantle silicates, at temperatures lower (1,100–1,300° C) than the silicate-CO2 melting reactions (1,400–1,600° C). Review of experimental data in the bounding ternary systems together with preliminary data for the system CaO-MgO-SiO2-CO2 permits construction of a partly schematic framework for decarbonation and melting reactions at upper mantle pressures. The key to several problems in the peridotite-CO2 subsystem is the intersection of a subsolidus carbonation reaction with a melting reaction at an invariant point near 24 kb and 1,200°C. There is an intricate series of reactions between 25 kb and 35 kb involving changes in silicate and carbonate phase fields on the CO2-saturated liquidus surfaces. Conclusions include the following: (1) Peridotite Fo+Opx+Cpx can be carbonated with increasing pressure, or decreasing temperature, to yield Fo+Opx+Cpx+Cd (Cd=calcic dolomite), Fo+Opx+Cd, Fo+Opx+Cm (Cm=calcic magnesite), and finally Qz+Cm. (2) Free CO2 cannot exist in subsolidus mantle peridotite with normal temperature distributions; it is stored as carbonate, Cd. (3) The CO2 bubbles in peridotite nodules do not represent free CO2 in mantle peridotite along normal geotherms. (4) CO2 is as effective as H2O in causing incipient melting, our preferred explanation for the low-velocity zone. (5) Fusion of peridotite with CO2 at depths shallower than 80 km produces basic magmas, becoming more SiO2-undersaturated with depth. (6) The solubility of CO2 in mantle magmas is less than about 5 wt% at depths to 80 km, increasing abruptly to about 40 wt% at 80 km and deeper. (7) Deeper than 80 km, the first liquids produced are carbonatitic, changing towards kimberlitic and eventually, at considerably higher temperatures, to basic magmas. (8) Kimberlite and carbonatite magmas rising from the asthenosphere must evolve CO2 at depths 100-80 km, which contributes to their explosive emplacement. (9) Fractional crystallization of CO2-bearing SiO2-undersaturated basic magmas at most pressures can yield residual kimberlite and carbonatite magmas. 相似文献

High pressure experimental studies of the melting of lherzolitic upper mantle in the absence of carbon and hydrogen have shown
that the lherzolite solidus has a positive dP/dT and that the percentage melting increases quite rapidly above the solidus. In contrast, the presence of carbon and hydrogen
in the mantle results in a region of ‘incipient’ melting at temperatures below the C,H-free solidus. In this region the presence
or absence of melt and the composition of the melt are dependent on the amount and nature of volatiles, particularly the CO2, H2O, and CH4 contents of the potential C-H-O fluid. Under conditions of low
(IW to IW + 1 log unit atP ∼ 20–35kb), fluids such as CH4+H2O and CH4+H2 inhibit melting, having a low solubility in silicate melts. Under these conditions, carbon and hydrogen are mobile elements
in the upper mantle. At slightly higher oxygen fugacity (IW+2 log units,P∼20–35 kb) fluids in equilibrium with graphite or diamond in peridotite C-H-O are extremely water-rich. Carbon is thus not
mobile in the mantle in this
range and the melting and phase relations for the upper mantle lherzolite approximate closely to the peridotite-H2O system. Pargasitic amphibole is stable to solidus temperatures in fertile lherzolite compositions and causes a distinctive
peridotite solidus, the ‘dehydration solidus’, with a marked change in slope (a ‘back bend’) at 29–30kb due to instability
of pargasite at high pressure. Intersections of geothermal gradients with the peridotite-H2O solidi define the boundary between lithosphere (subsolidus) and asthenosphere (incipient melt region). This boundary is
thus sensitive to changes in
[affecting CH4:H2O:CO2 ratios] and to the amount of H2O and carbon (CO2, CH4) present. At higher
conditions (IW + 3 log units), CO2-rich fluids occur at low pressures but there is a marked depression of the solidus at 20–21 kb due to intersection with the
carbonation reaction, producing the low temperature solidus for dolomite amphibole lherzolite (T∼925°C, 21 to >31kb). Melting of dolomite (or magnesite) amphibole lherzolite yields primary sodic dolomitic carbonatite melt
with low H2O content, in equilibrium with amphibole garnet lherzolite.
The complexity of melting in peridotite-C-H-O provides possible explanations for a wide range of observations on lithosphere/asthenosphere
relations, on mantle melt and fluid compositions, and on processes of mantle metasomatism and magma genesis in the upper mantle. 相似文献

We have experimentally determined the solidus position of model lherzolite in the system CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-CO2 (CMAS.CO2) from 3 to 7 GPa by locating isobaric invariant points where liquid coexists with olivine, orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene,
garnet and carbonate. The intersection of two subsolidus reactions at the solidus involving carbonate generates two invariant
points, I1A and I2A, which mark the transition from CO2-bearing to dolomite-bearing and dolomite-bearing to magnesite-bearing lherzolite respectively. In CMAS.CO2, we find I1A at 2.6 GPa/1230 °C and I2A at 4.8 GPa/1320 °C. The variation of all phase compositions along the solidus has also been determined. In the pressure range
investigated, solidus melts are carbonatitic with SiO2 contents of <6 wt%, CO2 contents of ˜45 wt%, and Ca/(Ca+Mg) ratios that range from 0.59 (3 GPa) to 0.45 (7 GPa); compositionally they resemble natural
magnesiocarbonatites. Volcanic magnesiocarbonatites may well be an example of the eruption of such melts directly from their
mantle source region as evidenced by their diatremic style of activity and lack of associated silicate magmas. Our data in
the CMAS.CO2 system show that in a carbonate-bearing mantle, solidus and near-solidus melts will be CO2-rich and silica poor. The widespread evidence for the presence of CO2 in both the oceanic and continental upper mantle implies that such low degree SiO2-poor carbonatitic melts are common in the mantle, despite the rarity of carbonatites themselves at the Earth's surface.

A large body of recent work has linked the origin of Si-Al-rich alkaline glass inclusions to metasomatic processes in the
upper mantle. This study examines one possible origin for these glass inclusions, i.e., the dissolution of orthopyroxene in
Si-poor alkaline (basanitic) melt. Equilibrium dissolution experiments between 0.4 and 2 GPa show that secondary glass compositions
are only slightly Si enriched and are alkali poor relative to natural glass inclusions. However, disequilibrium experiments
designed to examine dissolution of orthopyroxene by a basanitic melt under anhydrous, hydrous and CO2-bearing conditions show complex reaction zones consisting of olivine, ± clinopyroxene and Si-rich alkaline glass similar
in composition to that seen in mantle xenoliths. Dissolution rates are rapid and dependent on volatile content. Experiments
using an anhydrous solvent show time dependent dissolution rates that are related to variable diffusion rates caused by the
saturation of clinopyroxene in experiments longer than 10 minutes. The reaction zone glass shows a close compositional correspondence
with natural Si-rich alkaline glass in mantle-derived xenoliths. The most Si-and alkali-rich melts are restricted to pressures
of 1 GPa and below under anhydrous and CO2-bearing conditions. At 2 GPa glass in hydrous experiments is still Si-␣and alkali-rich whereas glass in the anhydrous and
CO2-bearing experiments is only slightly enriched in SiO2 and alkalis compared with the original solvent. In the low pressure region, anhydrous and hydrous solvent melts yield glass
of similar composition whereas the glass from CO2-bearing experiments is less SiO2 rich. The mechanism of dissolution of orthopyroxene is complex involving rapid incongruent breakdown of the orthopyroxene,
combined with olivine saturation in the reaction zone forming up to 60% olivine. Inward diffusion of CaO causes clinopyroxene
saturation and uphill diffusion of Na and K give the glasses their strongly alkaline characteristics. Addition of Na and K
also causes minor SiO2 enrichment of the reaction glass by increasing the phase volume of olivine. Olivine and clinopyroxene are transiently stable
phases within the reaction zone. Clinopyroxene is precipitated from the reaction zone melt near the orthopyroxene crystal
and redissolved in the outer part of the reaction zone. Olivine defines the thickness of the reaction zone and is progressively
dissolved in the solvent as the orthopyroxene continues to dissolve. Although there are compelling reasons for supporting
the hypothesis that Si-rich alkaline melts are produced in the mantle by orthopyroxene – melt reaction in the mantle, there
are several complications particularly regarding quenching in of disequilibrium reaction zone compositions and the mobility
of highly polymerized melts in the upper mantle. It is considered likely that formation of veins and pools of Si-rich alkaline
glass by orthopyroxene – melt reaction is a common process during the ascent of xenoliths. However, reaction in situ within
the mantle will lead to equilibration and therefore secondary melts will be only moderately siliceous and alkali poor.

The effect of Co2 and CH4 degassing from the mantle on the carbon isotopic composition of diamond has been quantitatively modeled in terms of the principles of Rayleigh distillation.Assuming the δ^13 C value of -5‰ for the mantle,the outgassing of CO2 can result in the large negative δ^13 C values of diamond,whereas the outgassing of CH4 can drive the δ^13C values of diamond in the positive direction.The theoretical expectations can be used to explain the full range of δ^13 C values from-34.4‰5 to 5‰ observed for natural diamonds.It is possible that diamond formation was triggered by the degassing of Co2 and/or CH4 from the mantle and the associated fractional crystallization of carbonate-bearing melt. 相似文献

We document the presence of dolomite ± apatite in orogenic peridotites from the Ulten Zone (UZ, Italian Alps), the remnants
of a Variscan mantle wedge tectonically coupled with eclogitized continental crust. These dolomite peridotites are associated
with dominant carbonate-free amphibole peridotites, which formed in response to infiltration of aqueous subduction fluids
lost by the associated crustal rocks during high-pressure (HP) metamorphism and retrogression. Dolomite-free and dolomite-bearing
peridotites share the same metamorphic evolution, from garnet- (HP) to spinel-facies (low-pressure, LP) conditions. Dolomite
and the texturally coexisting phases display equilibrium redistribution of rare earth elements and of incompatible trace elements
during HP and LP metamorphism; clinopyroxene and amphiboles from carbonate-free and carbonate-bearing peridotites have quite
similar compositions. These features indicate that the UZ mantle rocks equilibrated with the same metasomatic agents: aqueous
CO2-bearing fluids enriched in incompatible elements released by the crust. The P–T crystallization conditions of the dolomite peridotites (outside the field of carbonatite melt + amphibole peridotite coexistence),
a lack of textures indicating quench of carbonic melts, a lack of increase in modal clinopyroxene by reaction with such melts
and the observed amphibole increase at the expense of clinopyroxene, all suggest that dolomite formation was assisted by aqueous
CO2-bearing fluids. A comparison of the trace element compositions of carbonates and amphiboles from the UZ peridotites and from
peridotites metasomatized by carbonatite and/or carbon-bearing silicate melts does not help to unambiguously discriminate
between the different agents (fluids or melts). The few observed differences (lower trace element contents in the fluid-related
dolomite) may ultimately depend on the solute content of the metasomatic agent (CO2-bearing fluid versus carbonatite melt). This study provides strong evidence that C–O–H subduction fluids can produce ‘carbonatite-like’
assemblages in mantle rocks, thus being effective C carriers from the slab to the mantle wedge at relatively low P–T. If transported beyond the carbonate and amphibole solidus by further subduction, dolomite-bearing garnet + amphibole peridotites
like the ones from Ulten can become sources of carbonatite and/or C-bearing silicate melts in the mantle wedge.

The global warming of Earth’s near-surface, air and oceans in recent decades is a direct consequence of anthropogenic emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere such as CO2, CH4, N2O and CFCs. The CO2 emissions contribute approximately 60% to this climate change. This study investigates experimentally the aqueous carbonation mechanisms of an alkaline paper mill waste containing about 55 wt% portlandite (Ca(OH)2) as a possible mineralogical CO2 sequestration process. The overall carbonation reaction includes the following steps: (1) Ca release from portlandite dissolution, (2) CO2 dissolution in water and (3) CaCO3 precipitation. This CO2 sequestration mechanism was supported by geochemical modelling of final solutions using PHREEQC software, and observations by scanning electron microscope and X-ray diffraction of final reaction products. According to the experimental protocol, the system proposed would favour the total capture of approx. 218 kg of CO2 into stable calcite/ton of paper waste, independently of initial CO2 pressure. The final product from the carbonation process is a calcite (ca. 100 wt%)-water dispersion. Indeed, the total captured CO2 mineralized as calcite could be stored in degraded soils or even used for diverse industrial applications. This result demonstrates the possibility of using the alkaline liquid–solid waste for CO2 mitigation and reduction of greenhouse effect gases into the atmosphere. 相似文献

Phase relations of phlogopite with magnesite from 4 to 8 GPa 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
To evaluate the stability of phlogopite in the presence of carbonate in the Earth’s mantle, we conducted a series of experiments
in the KMAS–H2O–CO2 system. A mixture consisting of synthetic phlogopite (phl) and natural magnesite (mag) was prepared (phl90-mag10; wt%) and run at pressures from 4 to 8 GPa at temperatures ranging from 1,150 to 1,550°C. We bracketed the solidus between
1,200 and 1,250°C at pressures of 4, 5 and 6 GPa and between 1,150 and 1,200°C at a pressure of 7 GPa. Below the solidus,
phlogopite coexists with magnesite, pyrope and a fluid. At the solidus, magnesite is the first phase to react out, and enstatite
and olivine appear. Phlogopite melts over a temperature range of ~150°C. The amount of garnet increases above solidus from
~10 to ~30 modal% to higher pressures and temperatures. A dramatic change in the composition of quench phlogopite is observed
with increasing pressure from similar to primary phlogopite at 4 GPa to hypersilicic at pressures ≥5 GPa. Relative to CO2-free systems, the solidus is lowered such, that, if carbonation reactions and phlogopite metasomatism take place above a
subducting slab in a very hot (Cascadia-type) subduction environment, phlogopite will melt at a pressure of ~7.5 GPa. In a
cold (40 mWm−2) subcontinental lithospheric mantle, phlogopite is stable to a depth of 200 km in the presence of carbonate and can coexist
with a fluid that becomes Si-rich with increasing pressure. Ascending kimberlitic melts that are produced at greater depths
could react with peridotite at the base of the subcontinental lithospheric mantle, crystallizing phlogopite and carbonate
at a depth of 180–200 km. 相似文献

In a bimineralic eclogite xenolith (sample JJG41) from the Roberts Victor kimberlite, compositional gradients in clinopyroxene are related to garnet exsolution. Two principal reactions involving clinopyroxene and garnet occur: (i) The net-transfer Al2Si-1Mg-1 which is responsible for garnet growth according to the equation 2Di+Al2Si-1Mg-1=Grossular+MgCa-1 (reaction 1). This has created substantial compositional gradients in Al, Si and Mg within clinopyroxene. (ii) The exchange of Fe–Mg between garnet and clinopyroxene (reaction 2). During the stage of garnet growth (reaction 1) the lamellae crystallized sequentially as a result of a temperature decrease from around 1400 to 1200° C. This exsolution growth-stage was under the control of Al diffusion in clinopyroxene and at around 1200° C further growth of garnet lamellae became impeded by the sluggishness of Al diffusion in the clinopyroxene host. However, reaction 2 continued during further cooling down to about 1000° C; this temperature being inferred from the constant Fe–Mg partitioning at clinopyroxene-garnet interfaces for the whole set of lamellae. The initial clinopyroxene in JJG41 was probably formed by crystallization from a melt in Archaean time. The cessation of Fe–Mg exchange between garnet and clinopyroxene at about 1000° C may well predate the eruption of the eclogite in kimberlite at around 100 Ma. Kinetic models of reaction are examined for both reactions. Modelling of reaction 1, involving both diffusion and interface migration, allows several means of estimating the diffusion coefficient of Al in clinopyroxene; the estimates are in the range 10-16-10-20 cm2/s at 1200° C. These estimates bracket the experimentally determined data for Al diffusion in clinopyroxene, and from these experimental data a preferred cooling rate of about 300° C/Ma is obtained for the period of growth of garnet exsolution lamellae. A geospeedometry approach (Lasaga 1983) suitable for a pure-exchange process (reaction 2) is used to estimate the cooling rate in the later stages of the thermal history (after garnet growth); values 4–40° C/Ma are consistent with the shape of the Fe-diffusion gradients in the clinopyroxene. The extensive thermal history recorded by JJG41, including probable melt involvement at ca. 1400° C, demonstrates the complex evolution of rocks within the mantle. Whilst the notion of formation of mantle eclogites from subducted oceanic crust has become fashionable, it is clear that tracing eclogite geochemical and P-T characteristics backwards from their nature at the time of xenolith eruption, through high-temperature mantle events to the characteristics of the original subducted oceanic crust, will be very complex. 相似文献

Simulation results of the equilibrium state of systems water-carbonaceous chondrite material, water-primary mantle material,
water-ultramafic rock material, and water-mafic rock material open with respect to carbon dioxide and methane at 25°C, 1 bar
indicate that highly alkaline reduced aqueous solutions with K/Na > 1 can be formed only if water is in equilibrium with compositions
close to those of continental crust and primitive mantle. Yu.V. Natochin’s hypothesis that the living cell can be formed only
in an aqueous environment with K/Na > 1 leads to the conclusion that terrestrial life could arise and further evolve on the
Earth during the differentiation of primary chondritic material into the Earth’s core and mantle (during the first few million
years of the planet’s lifetime) in an alkaline (pH 9–10) reduced (Eh = −400–500 mV) aqueous solution at a temperature of 50–60°C,
in equilibrium with an N2-bearing atmosphere, which also contained CH4 (partial pressure from 10−2 to 10−8 bar), CO2 (partial pressure from 10−5 to 10−8 bar), NH3, H2, H2S, CO, and other gases. 相似文献

Greenhouse gases and greenhouse effect 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Conventional theory of global warming states that heating of atmosphere occurs as a result of accumulation of CO2 and CH4 in atmosphere. The writers show that rising concentration of CO2 should result in the cooling of climate. The methane accumulation has no essential effect on the Earth’s climate. Even significant
releases of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide into the atmosphere do not change average parameters of the Earth’s heat regime
and the atmospheric greenhouse effect. Moreover, CO2 concentration increase in the atmosphere results in rising agricultural productivity and improves the conditions for reforestation.
Thus, accumulation of small additional amounts of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere as a result of anthropogenic
activities has practically no effect on the Earth’s climate. 相似文献

The effect of CO2 on mantle peridotites is modeled by experimental data for the system CaO-MgO-SiO2-CO2 at 2.7 GPa. The experiments provide isotherms for the vapor-saturated liquidus surface, bracket piercing points for field
boundaries on the surface, and define the positions and compositions of isobaric invariant liquids on the boundaries (eutectics
and peritectics). CO2-saturated carbonatitic liquids (>80% carbonate) exist through approximately 200 °C above the solidus, with a transition to
silicate liquids (>80% silicate) within ∼75 °C across a plateau on the liquidus. Carbonate-rich magmas cannot cross the silicate-carbonate
liquidus field boundary, so the carbonate liquidus field is therefore a forbidden volume for liquid magmas. This confirms
the fact that rounded, pure carbonates in mantle xenoliths cannot represent original liquids. A P-T diagram is constructed
for the carbonation and melting reactions for mineral assemblages corresponding to lherzolite, harzburgite, websterite and
wehrlite, with carbonate, CO2 vapor (V), or both. The changing compositions of liquids in solidus reactions on the P-T diagram are illustrated by the changing
compositions of eutectic and peritectic liquids on the liquidus surface. At an invariant point Q (∼2.8 GPa/1230 °C), all peridotite
assemblages coexist with a calcite-dolomite solid solution (75 ± 5% CaCO3) and a dolomitic carbonatite melt [57% CaCO3 (CC), 33% MgCO3 (MC), 10% CaMgSi2O6 (Di)], with 63% CC in the carbonate component. At higher pressures, dolomite-lherzolite, dolomite-harzburgite-V, and dolomite-websterite-V
melt to yield similar liquids. Magnesian calcite-wehrlite is the only peridotite melting to carbonatitic liquids (more calcic)
at pressures below Q (∼70 km). Dolomitic carbonatite magma rising through mantle to the near-isobaric solidus ledge near Q
will begin to crystallize, releasing CO2 (enhancing crack propagation), and metasomatizing lherzolite toward wehrlite.

The melting relationships in the system CaMgSi2O6 (Di)–CO2 have been studied in the 3–8 GPa pressure range to determine if there is an abrupt decrease in the temperature of the solidus
accompanying the stabilization of carbonate as a subsolidus phase. Such a decrease has been observed previously in peridotitic
and some eclogitic systems. In contrast, the solidus in the Di–CO2 system was found to decrease in a gradual fashion from 3 to 8 GPa. This decrease accompanies an evolution in the composition
of the melt at the solidus from silicate-rich with minor CO2 at 3 GPa to carbonatitic at 5.5 GPa, where the carbonation reaction Diopside + CO2 = Dolomite (Dol) + Coesite (Cst) intersects the solidus. The near-solidus melt remains carbonatitic at higher pressure, consistent
with carbonate being the dominant contributor to the melt. Based on previous studies in both eclogitic and peridotitic systems,
this conclusion can be extended to more complicated systems: once carbonate is a stable subsolidus phase, it plays a major
role in controlling both the temperature of melting and the composition of the melt produced. 相似文献

Experimental reconstruction of sodic dolomitic carbonatite melts from metasomatised lithosphere 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Investigations of peridotite xenolith suites have identified a compositional trend from lherzolite to magnesian wehrlite
in which clinopyroxene increases at the expense of orthopyroxene and aluminous spinel, and in which apatite may be a minor
phase. Previous studies have shown that this trend in mineralogy and chemical composition may result from reaction between
sodic dolomitic carbonatite melt and lherzolite at pressures around 1.7 to 2 GPa. This reaction results in decarbonation of
the carbonatite melt, releasing CO2-rich fluid. In this study, we have experimentally reversed the decarbonation reaction by taking two natural wehrlite compositions
and reacting them with CO2 at a pressure of 2.2 GPa and temperatures from 900 to 1150° C. Starting materials were pargasite-bearing wehrlites, one with
minor apatite (composition 71001*) and one without apatite (composition 70965*). At lower temperatures (900° C) the products were apatite+pargasite+magnesite harzburgite for runs using composition 71001*, and pargasite+dolomite lherzolite for runs using composition 70965*. At and above 1000° C, carbonatite melt with harzburgite residue (olivine+orthopyroxene+spinel) and with lherzolite residue
(olivine+orthopyroxene+clinopyroxene+ spinel) were produced respectively. Phase compositions in reactants and products are
consistent with the documented carbonatite/lherzolite reactions, and also permit estimation of the carbonatite melt compositions.
In both cases the melts are sodic dolomitic carbonatites. The study supports the hypothesis of a significant role for ephemeral,
sodic dolomitic melts in causing metasomatic changes in the lithosphere at P≤2 GPa. The compositions of wehrlites imply fluxes of CO2, released by metasomatic reactions, which are locally very large at around 5 wt% CO2.

In order to explore possible quantitative relations between crystal field stabilization energy, CFSE, and partitioning behaviour
of the 3d 6-configured Fe2+ ion, a suite of 29 paragenetic rock-forming minerals from 12 high-grade metamorphic rock samples of the Ukrainian shield,
including the parageneses garnet/orthopyroxene/clinopyroxene (2x), orthopyroxene/clinopyroxene, garnet/clinopyroxene, garnet/orthopyroxene/biotite,
garnet/biotite, garnet/cordierite, garnet/cordierite/biotite, garnet/orthopyroxene/clinopyroxene/Ca-amphibole, Ca-amphibole/biotite

per 100 cm−1ΔCFSE. The conclusion is that ΔCFSEFe2+ plays only a secondary role after geometrical factors, in the partitioning behaviour of Fe2+. The reason for this is seen in the facts that, compared to the 3d
3-configured Cr3+ ion, CFSE of the 3d 6-configured Fe2+ amounts only to 20–25%, and that the former ion enters only octahedral sites with similar geometrical properties in the paragenetic
mineral phases.

Picritic units of the Miocene shield volcanics on Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, contain olivine and clinopyroxene phenocrysts
with abundant primary melt, crystal and fluid inclusions. Composition and crystallization conditions of primary magmas in
equilibrium with olivine Fo90-92 were inferred from high-temperature microthermometric quench experiments, low-temperature microthermometry of fluid inclusions
and simulation of the reverse path of olivine fractional crystallization based on major element composition of melt inclusions.
Primary magmas parental for the Miocene shield basalts range from transitional to alkaline picrites (14.7–19.3 wt% MgO, 43.2–45.7
wt% SiO2). Crystallization of these primary magmas is believed to have occurred over the temperature range 1490–1150° C at pressures
≈5 kbar producing olivine of Fo80.6-90.2, high-Ti chrome spinel [Mg/ (Mg+Fe2+)=0.32–0.56, Cr/(Cr+Al)=0.50–0.78, 2.52–8.58 wt% TiO2], and clinopyroxene [Mg/(Mg+Fe)=0.79–0.88, Wo44.1-45.3, En43.9-48.0, Fs6.8-11.0] which appeared on the liquidus together with olivine≈Fo86. Redox conditions evolved from intermediate between the QFM and WM buffers to late-stage conditions of NNO+1 to NNO+2. The
primary magmas crystallized in the presence of an essentially pure CO2 fluid. The primary magmas originated at pressures >30 kbar and temperatures of 1500–1600° C, assuming equilibrium with mantle
peridotite. This implies melting of the mantle source at a depth of ≈100 km within the garnet stability field followed by
migration of melts into magma reservoirs located at the boundary between the upper mantle and lower crust. The temperatures
and pressures of primary magma generation suggest that the Canarian plume originated in the lower mantle at depth ≈900 km
that supports the plume concept of origin of the Canary Islands.

The positions of the liquidi and the near-liquidus phases of olivine-melilitite+CO2 have been determined under MH-buffered and furnace-buffered conditions up to 40 kb. It is found that CO2 alone lowers the liquidus compared to dry conditions, yet its influence is minor compared to H2O. The major role of CO2 is to favour the growth of orthopyroxene and garnet over that of olivine at least at high pressures. CO2-contents of glasses from experiments just above the liquidus (MH-buffered) were determined as 5.1 % at 10kb; 7.5 % at 20kb, 9.3 % at 30kb and 10–11 % (estimated) at 40 kb. Experiments on (pyrolite –40 % olivine)+H2O+CO2 show that CO2 occurs under mantle conditions as carbonate under subsolidus conditions and dissolved in a melt above the solidus. At 30kb, the solidus lies between 1,000 ° C and 1,050 ° C for vapour-saturated conditions, at

Electrical conductivity of hydrous basaltic melts: implications for partial melting in the upper mantle 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The Earth’s uppermost asthenosphere is generally associated with low seismic wave velocity and high electrical conductivity.
The electrical conductivity anomalies observed from magnetotelluric studies have been attributed to the hydration of mantle
minerals, traces of carbonatite melt, or silicate melts. We report the electrical conductivity of both H2O-bearing (0–6 wt% H2O) and CO2-bearing (0.5 wt% CO2) basaltic melts at 2 GPa and 1,473–1,923 K measured using impedance spectroscopy in a piston-cylinder apparatus. CO2 hardly affects conductivity at such a concentration level. The effect of water on the conductivity of basaltic melt is markedly
larger than inferred from previous measurements on silicate melts of different composition. The conductivity of basaltic melts
with more than 6 wt% of water approaches the values for carbonatites. Our data are reproduced within a factor of 1.1 by the
equation log σ = 2.172 − (860.82 − 204.46 w
0.5)/(T − 1146.8), where σ is the electrical conductivity in S/m, T is the temperature in K, and w is the H2O content in wt%. We show that in a mantle with 125 ppm water and for a bulk water partition coefficient of 0.006 between
minerals and melt, 2 vol% of melt will account for the observed electrical conductivity in the seismic low-velocity zone.
However, for plausible higher water contents, stronger water partitioning into the melt or melt segregation in tube-like structures,
even less than 1 vol% of hydrous melt, may be sufficient to produce the observed conductivity. We also show that ~1 vol% of
hydrous melts are likely to be stable in the low-velocity zone, if the uncertainties in mantle water contents, in water partition
coefficients, and in the effect of water on the melting point of peridotite are properly considered. 相似文献
