Abstract: | Water is an important volatile component in andesitic eruptions and deep-seated andesitic magma chambers. We report an investigation of H2O speciation and diffusion by dehydrating haploandesitic melts containing ?2.5 wt.% water at 743-873 K and 100 MPa in cold-seal pressure vessels. FTIR microspectroscopy was utilized to measure species [molecular H2O (H2Om) and hydroxyl group (OH)] and total H2O (H2Ot) concentration profiles on the quenched glasses from the dehydration experiments. The equilibrium constant of the H2O speciation reaction H2Om+O?2OH, K = (XOH)2/(XH2OmXO) where X means mole fraction on a single oxygen basis, in this Fe-free andesite varies with temperature as ln K = 1.547-2453/T where T is in K. Comparison with previous speciation data on rhyolitic and dacitic melts indicates that, for a given water concentration, Fe-free andesitic melt contains more hydroxyl groups. Water diffusivity at the experimental conditions increases rapidly with H2O concentration, contrary to previous H2O diffusion data in an andesitic melt at 1608-1848 K. The diffusion profiles are consistent with the model that molecular H2O is the diffusion species. Based on the above speciation model, H2Om and H2Ot diffusivity (in m2/s) in haploandesite at 743-873 K, 100 MPa, and H2Ot ? 2.5 wt.% can be formulated as |
