Olivenite-Adamite Solid Solution From Oxidation Zone in Rędziny (West Sudetes, Poland)An extensive hydrothermal polymetallic mineralization with a well developed oxidation zone rich in secondary minerals occurs in dolostones several hundred meters from the Karkonosze granite at Rędziny. Using XRD and FTIR methods, mineral phases representing transitional members of the olivenite-adamite solid solution have been identified. Electron microprobe analyses reveal the most common varieties to be zincian olivenite and cuprous adamite with compositions ranging from (Cu1.17Zn0.83)(AsO4)(OH) to (Zn1.38Cu0.62)(AsO4)(OH). The two minerals are subordinate in the weathering zone which can be characterized as having been a zone of low Cu2+and Zn2+activity and with mineralizing solutions of increased pH. A high Ca2+concentration due to the ubiquitous presence of carbonate rocks resulted in the expansion of the stability field of another arsenate, conichalcite (or Zn-bearing conichalcite), which is a common mineral there.

AbstractEXAFS spectroscopy has been used to monitor changes in divalent cation site geometries across the P2/c-P1̄ phase transition in the sanmartinite (ZnWO4)-cuproscheelite (CuWO4) solid solution at ambient and liquid nitrogen temperatures. In the ZnWO4 end member, Zn occupies axially-compressed ZnO6 octahedra with two axial Zn-O bonds at approximately 1.95 Å and four square planar Zn-O bonds at approximately 2.11 Å. The substitution of Zn by Cu generates a second Zn environment with four short square planar Zn-O bonds and two longer axial Zn-O bonds. The proportion of the latter site increases progressively as the Cu content increases. Cu EXAFS reveals that the CuO6 octahedra maintain their Jahn-Teller axially-elongate geometry throughout the majority of the solid solution and only occur as axially-compressed octahedra well within the stability field of the Zn-rich phase with monoclinic long-range order.

The Koshmansai ore field is located in the southern part of the granitoid Chatkal batholith, in its apical ledge and exocontact zones, in the Koshmansai river basin. The host environment of the granitoids is Lower Carboniferous carbonate rocks, which were primarily affected by intensive skarnification. Sedimentary-metamorphic and volcanics rocks and granitoids constitute the geological structure of the skarn rare-metal-polymetallic Koshmansai deposit. In the distribution of ore-forming and associated elе- ments in the mineral phases of skarn orebodies, their morphogenetic type plays a certain role. Thus, in bimetasomatic skarns, minerals accumulate more Cu, Zn, Ni, Te, Tl, Ge. In infiltration skarns, these are Ag, Pb, Bi, Cd, Sb, Co. Sulfide polymetallic mineralization in skarns is associated with quartz and calcite. The Koshmansai ore field has a distinct geochemical zoning, which can be subdivided into the Koshmansai rare- metal-polymetallic deposit at the upper levels of the ore field and the Nizhnekoshmansai rare-metal-copper ore occurrence at its lower levels. Nevertheless, orebodies formation proceeded in a similar thermodynamic environment, in the conditions of upper shielding at low temperature gradients, which makes it possible to consider the ore field as a single geochemical anomaly. The vertical geochemical zoning of ore-forming element halos determined by their concentration at the lower section levels of the Koshmansai deposit skarn orebodies suggests the expansion of its prospects in depth.

Phase equilibria were determined in the P–T range of 0.5–10 Kb and 150–900 °C in the system NaAlSi3O8 – NaAlSiO4 – H2O. Two isobaric (2 Kb and 5.15 Kb) T–X phase diagrams (projected to a dry base) were completely determined and show that the stability field of analcite solid solutions has a large distorted pentagonal shape. The phase relations for the transition: nepheline hydrate I [Formula: see text] nepheline + H2O on the composition join NaAlSiO4 – H2O are not binary. It was found that there exists a narrow zone for the transition. The true P–T curve was found and determined in terms of a ternary univariant reaction: nepheline hydrate I + analcite [Formula: see text] nepheline + H2O. In the system NaAlSi3O8 – SiO2 – H2O, albite contains about 5 wt % silica in solid solution at 5.15 Kb and 670 °C.The equilibrium compositions of various univariant phases were determined essentially on the basis of the T–X phase diagrams. Another univariant reaction (zeolite species P = analcite + nepheline – hydrate I + H2O) was found at 2 Kb/215 °C and 5.15 Kb/235 °C and determined on a P–T projection. Three singular points were determined; two of them are located at 0.8 Kb/390 °C and 9.4 Kb/475 °C respectively on a univariant P–T curve for the reaction nepheline hydrate I + analcite = nepheline + H2O; the other one is located at 6 Kb/655 °C on a univariant P–T curve along which nepheline, analcite, liquid, and vapor coexist. The petrogenetic implication of analcite is discussed fully.

<p>Tourmaline records the physico chemical conditions during its cristallisation, as its primary chemical zonations are generally unbalanced, its occurrence as alteration product could be used to decipher the physicochemical properties of mineralizing fluids. However, the role of the tourmalinisation in hydrothermal processes remains little studied, if not poorly understood.  The complexity of its thermodynamic properties is related to the presence of four cationic sites allowing the accommodation of a wide variety of elements (Henry and Dutrow, 2018). Moreover the phenomena of deprotonation, Si-<sup>IV</sup>B and valence state, make the approach of solid solution properties complex (Hughes et al., 2001; Henry et al., 2011; Bačík, 2015; Morgan, 2016). Thus, thermodynamic properties are most often estimated  (Garofalo et al., 2000; Hinsberg and Schumacher, 2007) and only a few measurements could be carried out on a reduced number of near-endmembers crystals (Kuyunko et al., 1984; Ogorodova et al., 2012).</p><p>This study aims to investigate experimentally the stability field of schorl (Na-Fe) – dravite (Na-Mg) solid solution at 2 kbar total pressure between 400° and 600°C as a function of the boron content of the fluid and fO2 condition, using an internally heated gas apparatus. Those metasomatic experiments have been conducted on a mixture of naturals crystals of cordierite + albite, representing a peraluminous granite composition in a Na-Mg-Fe-Al-Si-B-O-H system, characterized by a high-Mg, low-Fe content. These experiments were performed in order to simulate a classic aluminous host of these tourmaline alterations in granitic context. The results will be studied, in terms of stability of the tourmaline species, chemistry variation and texture. They will be compared with thermodynamic models build using data from the literature (Korges et al., 2018; Pan et al., 2019 among others) . Ultimately, the objective is to characterize in a P, T, W/R space, the chemical evolution of fluids, the alteration sequence of rocks and the variations in volumes related to the successive reactions.</p>

SummaryThe stability field of analcime solid solutions in the system NaAlSi3O8-NaAlSiO4-H2O has been previously determined by Kim and Burley (1971a). These experiments are re-examined with a view to determining the variations of the room-temperature cell parameters of analcime as a function of temperature of synthesis and composition. It is shown from this evidence that most of the analcime solid solutions in these experiments are equilibrium compositions. The increase in the cell dimension of quenched analcime solid solution is found to be 5 × 10−5 Å/°C. It is suggested that birefringence in analcime is induced by low water-pressure relative to total pressure. A phase transition appears to be observed in quenched analcimes of this study and is thought to be the same as that in the Golden analcime reported by Yoder and Weir (1960).

The formation of single phase solid solution in High Entropy Alloys (HEAs) is essential for the properties of the alloys therefore, numerous approach were proposed by many researchers to predict the stability of single phase solid solution in High Entropy Alloy. The present review examines some of the recent developments while using computational intelligence techniques such as parametric approach, CALPHAD, Machine Learning etc. for prediction of various phase formation in multicomponent high entropy alloys. A detail study of this data-driven approaches pertaining to the understanding of structural and phase formation behaviour of a new class of compositionally complex alloys is done in the present investigation. The advantages and drawbacks of the various computational are also discussed. Finally, this review aims at understanding several computational modeling tools complying the thermodynamic criteria for phase formation of novel HEAs which could possibly deliver superior mechanical properties keeping an aim at advanced engineering applications.

Eclogite occurring in central Yukon, at Faro and near Last Peak, as lenses interleaved with muscovite–quartz blastomylonite has the chemical and field characteristics of group C rocks. From sigmoidal inclusion trails in garnet, from geothermometry and geobarometry, and from mineral parageneses, the eclogite is inferred to have a crustal protolith and to have followed a hysteretic, subduction-cycle P–T trajectory. Transformation of basic igneous rock into schist was followed by eclogite metamorphism during which pressure was at least 1000 MPa and temperature was between 600 and 700 °C. Uplifting involved passage through the stability field of glaucophane; the eclogite and its host rocks were then subjected to greenschist fades metamorphism and deformation, with temperature at approximately 400 °C. The rocks were emplaced as thrust sheets against or onto the western North American cratonal margin. The tectonic boundary ranges from nearly vertical, where it is outlined by a zone of steeply dipping mélange, to nearly horizontal beneath klippen of cataclastic rocks that lie on North American miogeoclinal strata. Together with occurrences of eclogite on strike, in Yukon, near Fairbanks (Alaska), and near Pinchi Lake (British Columbia), eclogite at Faro and near Last Peak implies that the Yukon Cataclastic Complex is a deeply eroded collision mélange that borders over 1000 km of the ancient continental margin.

AbstractThe distribution of Fe3+-kaolinite, Al-goethite and Al-hematite and their contents of Fe and Al in bauxites and ferricretes are controlled by water activity, dissolved silica activity, temperature and particle size. The proposed model, based on ideal solid-solution equilibria in the Fe2O3-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O system, takes into account water and silica activities. By using the same considerations as those previously developed for the Fe2O3-Al2O3-H2O system, the model calculates the amounts of coexisting phases, Al or Fe substitution ratios in goethite, hematite or kaolinite, and the stability field distributions of the minerals under various conditions. Thermodynamic equilibrium conditions and element distributions within the mineral constituents are shown to be dependent on the parameters cited above. The model yields results compatible with natural observations on lateritic profiles.
