Thermochemistry of the alkali feldspars: Calorimetric study of the entropy relations in the low albite–low microcline series
نویسندگان
چکیده
New heat capacity data obtained on 12 samples of the low albite–low microcline series are presented. They were measured by relaxation and differential scanning calorimetry between 5 and 773 K. Two series, differing in their starting materials, were investigated, both of which were prepared via molten salt and solid-solid ion-exchange techniques in previous studies. The heat capacity of both series deviates positively from the ideal behavior leading to positive excess vibrational entropies of mixing, which can be described by a Margules mixing model yielding WS AbOr = 8.60 and WOrAb = 9.28 J/(mol·K). The heat capacity and the vibrational entropy obtained on these Al,Si ordered samples are compared with those described in the literature for disordered samples. The solvi of the Al,Si ordered and disordered alkali feldspar systems were calculated from the calorimetric data and compared to experimentally determined solvi. Large deviations are detected for the ordered system, whereas consistent results are found for the disordered system, provided Na,K clustering is taken into account.

THE IOW-TEMPERATURE PHA5ES OF THE AtKAtI FETDSPARS AND THEIR ORIGIN
New relationships among the low-temperature alkali feldspars were deduced in part and implied in whole by recent crystal structure analyses of low and high albite and consideration of the electrostatic charge distributions in all the known alkali feldspar structures by Ferguson, Traill & Taylor. In general the most stable low-temperature forms are not those most highly ordered with respect to A...

Macroand micro-perthitic microclines from pegmatites from Perth, Ontario (Wards catalogue 46 E 0510) and Keystone, South Dakota (Wards 46 E 5125) have been studied using light and electron microscopy. A sample of the type perthite from Perth, Ontario (Hunterian Museum, Glasgow, M2361) was compared using light microscopy. It differs in bulk composition and microtexture from the Wards sample. The...
متن کاملCalorimetric investigation of the excess entropy of mixing in analbite-sanidine solid solutions: lack of evidence for Na,K short-range order and implications for two-fbldspar thermometry
Heat capacities (5-380 K) have been measured by adiabatic calorimetry for five highly disordered alkali feldspars (AbeeOr1, Ab65Or15, Ab55Ora5, Ab25Ory5, and AblOree). Positive heat capacity deviations from a linear combination of the end-member heat capacities, which are present mostly at very low temperatures, result in an excess entropy for intermediate compositions. The excess entropy at 29...

The present study provides an overview of the ice nucleation activity of different feldspars varying in their chemical composition and crystal structure. In total 15 different feldspars including plagioclase and alkali feldspars were analyzed for one weight percentage using a special freezing array method called μl-NIPI (microliter Nucleation by Immersed Particle Instrument). Additionally, the ...
