Abstract

The second year of this three year renewal has been used to continue data collection and analysis of thermal (Soret) diffusion in silicate liquid and explore the related process of thermal migration in subliquidus magmas. During the past year we have expanded our experimental capabilities for thermal gradient work by the construction of two new miniaturized piston-cylinder devices capable of 20kb. This has greatly alleviated the bottleneck on our existing facilities and has permitted us to undertake long term thermal diffusion experiments which have been prohibitive in the past. Data collection efforts have also been materially aided by advances in thermal insulation in the pressure media outside our pressurized cylindrical heaters. BaCO/sub 3/ + 10%Cr/sub 2/O/sub 3/ is very effective in protecting the pressure vessel core from thermal deterioration with the result that the heater inside and outside diameters can be substantially increased. This permits several charges to be run simultaneously in an axisymmetric cluster around a double or triple junction thermocouple which can measure axial thermal gradients in situ. These thermal insulation and charge volume increase innovations also have been adapted in our on going studies of mineral-liquid element partitioning, silicate mineral dissolution and silicate liquid interdiffusion and shouldmore »« less

Technical Report

The first year of this three year renewal award has been used to continue data collection and analysis of thermal (Soret) diffusion in silicate liquid and explore the related process of thermal migration in subliquidus magmas and isothermal interdiffusion.

BaCO{sub 3} is very effective in protecting the pressure vessel core from thermal deterioration with the result that the heater inside and outside diameters can be substantially increased.

(Energetics of silicate melts from thermal diffusion studies)

Technical Report

Research during the past year has been concentrated in four major areas. We are continuing work initiated during the first two years on modelling thermal diffusion on multicomponent silicate liquids. We have derived appropriate relations for ternary and quaternary systems and reanalyzed experimental thermal diffusion data for the ternary system fayalite-leucite-silica. In our manuscript entitled Thermal Diffusion in Petrology'', to be published in Adv. in Phy. Geochem., we show that these model results independently recover the compositional extent and temperature of liquid immiscibility in this system. Such retrieval provides a rigorous test of our theoretical predictions and simplified treatment ofmore »« less

Energetics of melts from thermal diffusion studies. FY 1993 progress report

Technical Report Lesher, C

This research program characterizes diffusional mass transport in geological fluids in response to thermal, solubility and chemical gradients using tools of experimental petrology. Quantitative information is obtained on the thermodynamic and kinetic properties of multicomponent systems that are the basis for predictive models of chemical diffusion, mineral dissolution, and complexing in synthetic and natural silicate systems. Among the technical accomplishments related to establishing the UCD experimental petrology laboratory in the last year has been the design and construction of two compact piston-cylinder devices capable of achieving 40 kb using 1/2-in. pressure vessels (also capable of accommodating 3/4-in. vessels). These machinesmore »« less

Energetics of melts from thermal diffusion studies. Final report

Technical Report Lesher, C

Most processes in geology are a consequence at some level of the flow of energy or mass. Heat conduction and chemical diffusion are examples of two of these sorts of flows which are driven by temperature and chemical potential imbalances, respectively. In the general case these flows may be coupled so that, for instance, a temperature gradient may result in a flow of mass as well as heat. This effect in liquids was demonstrated by Soret (1879) and bears his name. In gases or solids the phenomenon is given the general name thermal diffusion. It was the purpose of thismore »« less

Contribution of atom-probe tomography to a better understanding of glass alteration mechanisms: Application to a nuclear glass specimen altered 25 years in a granitic environment

Journal Article Gin, Stephane; Ryan, Joseph; Schreiber, Daniel; ... - Chemical Geology

Here, we report and discuss results of atom probe tomography (APT) and energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EFTEM) applied to a borosilicate glass sample of nuclear interest altered for nearly 26 years at 90°C in a confined granitic medium in order to better understand the rate-limiting mechanisms under conditions representative of a deep geological repository for vitrified radioactive waste. The APT technique allows the 3D reconstruction of the elemental distribution at the reactive interphase with sub-nanometer precision. Profiles of the B distribution at pristine glass/hydrated glass interface obtained by different techniques are compared to show the challenge of accurate measurements ofmore »« less
