Abstract
When nickeliferous peridot is submitted to a serpentinisation reaction with formation of brucite, the peridotic nickel is partitioned between the two minerals (serpentine and brucite) with a distribution coefficient K=[(Ni/Mg) brucite]/[(Ni/Mg)] serpentine=1,63 (at 350°C and 1 kbar), in favour of brucite.
