The effect of fluid pressure on oxygen isotope exchange between feldspar and water

  • 1. Brown Univ., Providence, R.I. (USA)

Description

The rate of oxygen isotope exchange between adularia and 2 M KCl solution has been measured at 6500C at pressures from 125 to 4000 bar. Isotropic diffusion coefficients calculated from these data show a positive dependence on the fluid pressure. This dependence is opposite to the predicted effect of hydrostatic pressure and is attributed to the activity of 'water' (H20, H+ or 0H-) in the feldspar. (author)
