Hydrogen and oxygen isotope compositions of eclogites from the Dabie Mountains and geodynamic implications

Heterogeneous δ¹⁸O values as low as - 2.6‰ to+7.0% are observed for ultrahigh pressure eclogites from the Dabie Mountains in East China. Oxygen isotope equilibrium has been approached between the eclogite minerals, suggesting that the rocks would have acquired the unusual δ¹⁸O values prior to ultrahigh pressure metamorphism by interaction with¹⁸O-depleted fluid. δD values of hydroxyl-bearing are between — 51% and - 83‰, precluding the possibility of paleoseawater involvement. The only likely fluid is ancient meteoric water that exchanged oxygen isotopes with the eclogite precursor (a kind of basaltic rocks) formerly resident on the continental crust. This suggests a crustal recycling process in the suture zone of late subduction. Because silicate minerals undergo rapid oxygen isotope exchange at mantle pressures, preservation of the isotopic signature of meteoric water in the eclogites indicates limited crust-mantle interaction and thus a short residence time (<20 Ma) when the plate containing the eclogite precursor was subducted to mantle depths. The agreement in oxygen isotope temperatures for different mineral pairs suggests a rapid cooling and ascent process for the eclogites subsequent to their formation at mantle depths.

Hydro-thermal performance of unsaturated bentonite-sand buffer material

Several series of one-dimensional heat and moisture flow tests were performed to examine the moisture and temperature distributions in the buffer material compacted to a dry density of 1.67 Mg m⁻³ and water content of 17.7%. In all tests, water was allowed to infiltrate into a horizontal soil column from one end under a constant hydrostatic head of 276 kPa. Also the specimens were heated from the other end by the heater to a constant temperature.

It is experimentally demonstrated that the moisture moves from both ends toward the mid part of the soil column due to both thermal gradient from one end and hydraulic gradient from the other end. It was observed that, in spite of no overall volume change, local volume change occurs in the system. The measured temperatures along the length of the specimen indicate that temperature distributions stabilize within a short period of time. The time required for the temperature to stabilize decreases as the heater skin temperature increases.

The diffusivity parameters are calculated using the measured moisture and temperature profiles combined with the finite difference method. Powell's optimization algorithm was used to determine the material parameters. Good agreements between experimentally measured and calibrated volumetric water content shows that the diffusion parameters can be expressed in a linear function of the volumetric water content and temperature.

Acid catalysis of alkyl hydrogen exchange and configurational isomerisation reactions: acyclic isoprenoid acids

Acid-catalysed alkyl hydrogen exchange and configurational isomerisation has been studied in a series of acyclic isoprenoid acids when they were heated at 160°C in the presence of a montmorillonite. Hydrogen exchange occurred between the adsorbed water of the clay surface and the a position of the isoprenoid acids. In cases where this position was chiral, exchange was accompanied by configurational isomerisation. Configurational isomerisation occurred more slowly in experiments conducted without a clay matrix in the presence of water. These results have been rationalized in terms of a reaction mechanism involving protonation of the carbonyl oxygen causing enolization and consequent hydrogen exchange at the a position of the acids. This mechanism was used to account for the relatively fast rate of isomerisation of C-2 chiral centres in sedimentary acyclic isoprenoid acids during maturation.

Thermal diffusivity of garnets at high temperature

Thermal diffusivity (D) of garnets with diverse chemical compositions was measured using the laser-flash technique, which is accurate (±2%) and isolates the lattice component from direct radiative transfer. Temperatures ranged from ~290 to ~1,600 K (unless limited by melting). Seven synthetic (e.g., YAG, GGG) and 15 natural garnets with two types of ionic substitution [Ca₃(Fe,Al)₂Si₃O₁₂ and (Mg,Fe,Ca)₃Al₂Si₃O₁₂] and varying amounts of OH^- were examined. Cation substitution or hydroxyl incorporation lowers D from end-member values. Thermal diffusivity is constant once the temperature (T) exceeds a critical value (T _sat) of ~1,100 to 1,500 K. From ~290 K to T _sat, the measurements are best represented by 1/D=A+BT+CT ² where A, B, and C are constants. These constants vary little among diverse chemical compositions, suggesting that the oxygen sublattice controls heat transport. Higher order terms are needed only when T _sat is low, such as Ant Hill garnet wherein 1/D=0.049403+0.0032299T−2.3992T ²×10⁻⁶+6.0168T ³×10⁻¹⁰(1/D in s/mm²; T in K). The mean free path (λ, computed from D and sound velocities) is slightly larger than the lattice parameter above T _sat, in accord with phonon–phonon interactions requiring non-localized modes. At most temperatures, λ is nm-sized. Large values of λ are obtained by extrapolation to a few Kelvins, suggesting that boundary scattering can only be important at extremely cold temperatures. The observed behavior with T and chemical composition is consistent with the damped harmonic oscillator model. Phonon transport is best represented by inverse thermal diffusivity wherein 1/D goes as T ⁿ where n is between 1 and 3 up to ~200 K, depends on a quadratic or cubic polynomial at moderate T, but is constant above T _sat. The predicted and observed temperature response of 1/D mimics the well-known form for heat capacity, in that acoustic modes control heat transport near cryogenic temperatures, optic phonons dominate above ambient temperature, and a limit analogous to that of Dulong and Petit is reached at very high temperature, due to full population of discrete phonon states.
