Water speciation and diffusion in haploandesitic melts at 743–873 K and 100MPa

چکیده
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 62.5 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 þO 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 m/s) in haploandesite at 743–873 K, 100 MPa, and H2Ot 6 2.5 wt.% can be formulated as DH2Om 1⁄4 exp 12:273 13:905X 18172 73136X T and " # DH2Ot 1⁄4 DH2Om 1þ 2X 1 ffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 4X ðX 1Þð1 4=KÞ þ 1 p ; where T is in K, X = C/18.015/[C/18.015 + (100 C)/33.84] is mole fraction of H2Ot with C being H2Ot in wt.%, and K is the equilibrium constant of H2O speciation reaction. By comparison with previous water diffusion studies, H2O diffusivity at T < 873 K in calc-alkaline silicate melts is found to increase with degree of polymerization (andesite < dacite < rhyolite), opposite to the trend at superliquidus temperatures. 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Hydroxyl and molecular H2O diffusivity in a haploandesitic melt
H2O diffusion in a haploandesitic melt (a high-silica and Fe-free andesitic melt, NBO/T = 0.173) has been investigated at 1 GPa in a piston-cylinder apparatus. We adopted a double diffusion couple technique, in which one couple was composed of a nominally anhydrous glass with 0.01 wt.% H2O and a hydrous glass with 5.7 wt.% H2O, and the other contained the same nominally anhydrous glass and a hy...
متن کاملH2o in Rhyolitic Glasses and Melts: Measurement, Speciation, Solubility, and Diffusion
Dissolved H2O in silicate melts and glasses plays a crucial role in volcanic eruptions on terrestrial planets and affects glass properties and magma evolution. In this paper, major progress on several aspects of the H2O-melt (or glass) system is reviewed, consistency among a variety of data is investigated, discrepancies are evaluated, and confusion is clarified. On the infrared measurement of ...

[1] Knowledge about the properties of silicate melts is needed by volcanologists and petrologists to evaluate the dynamics of volcanic eruptions and magmatic processes. These properties include the solubility and diffusivity of volatile components in silicate melts, silicate melt viscosity, and the fragmentation condition. Data and models of each property are reviewed and assessed. For rhyoliti...
متن کاملGeological Notes Diffusion of Water in Silicate Melts
The transport of water in silicate melts is examined from a theoretical point of view, taking into account the presence of both H20 and OH species. It was assumed that only H20 molecules may diffuse and that a constitutive relationship between the number density nH 0 of H20 molecules and the total water content (n:E) exists such that nH,o = g(n:E) . This is related to dissociation or to chemica...
