Thermodynamics of the Liquidus in the System Diopside—Water: A Review

  • Chapter
Physical Chemistry of Magmas

Part of the book series: Advances in Physical Geochemistry ((PHYSICAL GEOCHE,volume 9))

Abstract

Boyd and England (1963) studied melting of diopside under dry conditions up to pressures of 50 kbar. Boettcher et al. (1982) corrected these data below 30 kbar. Eggler (1973) was the first to study the system diopside-water up to a temperature of 1430°C at a pressure of 20 kbar. Hodges (1974) published data at the same pressure up to 1500°C. Rosenhauer and Eggler (1975) repeated Hodges’s runs at 20 kbar and discovered a large difference in composition of the system at the univariant point (see Table 1). These authors did not discard their own data three years later (Rosenhauer and Eggler, 1978). Eggler and Burnham (1984) reported data on the liquidus of the system diopside-water studied in a gas vessel at a pressure of 2 kbar. Table 1 compiles the present day data on the water-saturated liquidus.
