Abstract: | This study provides an experimental calibration of the equilibrium constant for AuPdFe alloys with Fe-bearing silicate melts.
The ideal metal capsules for H2O-bearing experiments are pure Au, because of its slow hydrogen diffusivity. However, above the melting point of Au, other
materials must be used. The solution to this problem is to use AuPd alloy capsules. However, under most relevant fO2 conditions, this alloy absorbs Fe from the coexisting silicate melt, thus changing the bulk composition of the experimental
charge. This study combines previous work on the Au–Pd, Pd–Fe, and Au–Fe binary systems to develop a ternary thermodynamic
solution model for AuPdFe. This solution model is used with experiments to calculate an equilibrium reaction coefficient for
the FeOmelt → Fealloy + 1/2O2 exchange reaction. Using a non-ideal ternary solution model, the fO2 conditions of hydrous, piston cylinder experiments can be estimated by analyzing the sample capsule alloy and the coexisting
liquid composition. |
