Abstract

Three reactions limiting the stability field of the di-trioctahedral chlorite cookeite in the presence of quartz, in the system Li2O−Al2O3−SiO2−H2O (LASH) have been reversed in the range 290–480°C, 0.8–14 kbar, using natural material close to the end member composition. Combining our results with known and estimated thermodynamic properties of the other minerals belonging to the LASH system, the enthalpy (-8512200 J/mol) and the entropy (504.8 J/mol*K) of cookeite are calculated by a feasible solution space approach. The knowledge of these values allowed us to draw the first P−T phase diagram involving both the hydrated Li-aluminosilicates cookeite and bikitaite, which is applicable to a large variety of natural rock systems. The low thermal extent of the stability field of cookeite+quartz (260–480°C) makes cookeite a valuable indicator of low temperature conditions within a wide range of pressure (1–14 kbar).
