Das System NaAlSi3O8-BaAl2Si2O8-H2O bei 1 Kbar

The system albite-celsian-water was investigated at isothermal sections of 670, 760, 800, 900, 1000 and 1100° C at 1 Kbar. At temperatures above about 950° C the existence of a solid solution series could be shown. In the condensed part of the 930° C/1 Kbar section the partition of barium between melt and coexisting crystals was measured using an electron probe microanalyzer. The barium content of crystals grown in equilibrium with a melt is always higher than the barium content of the starting composition, so albite-celsian shows an ascending type solid solution series at low total water pressures. In the subsolidus region two types of solvi are existent, which show different ways of phase unmixing. The relatively low barium contents of natural albites are interpreted as being due to geochemical reasons rather than crystalchemical reasons.

Studies in the system KAlSiO4-BaAl2Si2O8-SiO2-H2O

Various members of the KAlSi₃O₈-BaAl₂Si₂O₈ feldspar series are hydrothermally synthesized. Cellparameters of these are calculated from diffractometer patterns and found to be similar to those of Gay and Roy. A variation diagram is constructed correlating Cn-content and values of Δ_FeKα(2θ₍₁₁₁₎CaF₂—2θ₍₀₀₄₎Fs_ss), which gives $${\text{Mol}}\% {\text{ Cn = 229}}{\text{.83}}\Delta {\text{2}}\theta ---{\text{190}}{\text{.81}}$$ by a least square regression fitting. Phase equilibria relation in the solidus-liquidus-region for the KAlSi₃O₈-BaAl₂Si₂O₈-H₂O system at 1000 kg/cm² are investigated. It is found to be a case of simple solid solution in a binary system, with reservations at the potassium-rich side of the system. Goranson (1938) gives a temperature of about 1000°C at 1000 kg/cm² \(P_{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}} \) for the incongruent melting of sanidine, but the authors prefer a value around 930°C at the same \(P_{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}} {\text{O}}} \) . Reaction products of starting materials on the join KAlSi₂O₆-BaAl₂Si₂O₈ and KAlSiO₄-BaAl₂Si₂O₈ gave no experimental hint for replacement of K⁺ by Ba⁺⁺.
